A New WAY of Phoning.

Have you tried the new way of phoning
invented by some germ-dreading Individual?
People who have scientific turn of mind
give all sorts OF interesting reasons for 1t.
but 1t does seem somewhat startling to
press the receiver against your chest and to
talk into space, exactly as though the per-
son YOU were phoning to were in the room.
Yet curiousy enough, your voice carries
perfectly over the wire-more clearly in
fact. for there's neither the mumbling nor
the shrleking which comes OUT in metallic
Jerks at the other end.
Try It.

shot in the face and head by Steve

man was brought to this city upon

called and nearly 40 shot were taken
out of his face and right shoulder. The
left eye was so badly injured that it

hos when a rabbit jumped up and
started to run. Rubos raised his gun
and fired, the shot lodging in his

To Sell Old Temple.-At a special

decided to sell the property on which
the present temple is located. The
congregation voted to accept the offer
of 81, 1000 made by the real estate finn
of Horribly & Ruhl. The price paid is
800 per front foot, as the width of the
property fronting on Ripley street is
40 feet. The building is probably of
little value TO the purchasers, as ex-
tensive remodeling would be necessary

for which it is at present utilized.
