g James II. Madden, the genial Ash
land lumberman and candidate for Con-
gress from the tenth Congressional dis
trict, was in Wausau Thursday, looking
after his political interests in this sec
ton.
Mr.. Madden enjoys practically the
unanimous endorsement of his home
city and county, and is working up a
very friendly feeling for his nomins ton
all through the district, His views on
the important issues before the Ameri-
can people, such as tariff revision, rail-
road trust and insurance regulation
and the like, are heartily in accord
with the last Congress.
Ashland points out that while it is
the largest city in the district, it has
never had representative in Congress,
and claims with justice that its favorite
son is entitled to the nomination. Mr..
Madden is a genial, whole-souled gent
leman, is making hosts of friends
throughout the district, and is certain
to receive the nomination. His friends
are legion hereabouts. WIS. Central

by the report of the secretary, F. E
Lukens of Chicago, showing balance
CT S57.73 in the treasury, and an an

would be brought about by the fact that
the court costs of, s1.470 in the cases
against the old association officers had
been taken from the general fund. The
question of replacing this amount in
the general fund was taken up immedi-
ately. and it was decided, on motion, to

ficit. The fund will undoubtedly be
raised, fer numerous pledges. reaching

ANOTHER TROLLEY RUMoR.
Consolidated May Control the East
 Lyme Line.

New London. July '20.-That the New London & East Lyme Street railway will before long be absorbed by the Consolidated Railway compa- ny is late rumor in trolley circles and the report that negotiations for the sale of the road were in progress or had been eventually opened was offered yesterday on what is consid- cred good authority. Thomas Hamil- ton, president of the New London & East Lyme company declined to con- firm the report that there was such a sale contemplated by the company and had no information to impart as to the prospects of transfer of the property to the Consolidated manage ment.
 The East Lyme road was built and equipped at large expense. No pow CT house was constructed and 1t Is a fact that the road started business with heavy bonded indebtedness, so that large patronage is necessary to insure interest payments and div idends. The road was constructed on a percentage basis and the roadbed is much better than the average new trolley line and a high grade of cars was purchased.

WILL ALL GET REBATES
Telephone Company Must Pay Back About s4O0.OOO to Its Numerous
 Subscribers
JUDGE TULEY's DECISION

Chicago, July 20.-Refunds of $50 each to telephone subscribers who pay the maximum rate, with the ex- ception of those who prefer to keep up litigation, will be given by the Chicago Telephone company. The amount of refunds probably will reach $400,OO0, and. those who have been paying $175 year for the maximum service, with or without contracts, will be able to get the rebate as far back as January, 1902, when Judge Tuley gave q decision that only $125 could be charged under the terms of the ordinance of 1880.
 The news of this big concession came yesterday in letter written by President Arthur D. Wheeler to the general counsel for the company, John Barton Payne. in response to letter from Mayo Dunne asking that maxi mum subscribers even without con tracts be allowed rebates; and that the ordinance of 1889 be obeyed.
