port made by the French chamber Of
commerce touching on new method
Of operations Of some sharpers estab-

pense of the manufacturers and mer-
chants Of Europe Their method Of
procedure is as follows:
They commence by asking for prices

firms thus addressed reply without
making inquiries about the standing
Of their new correspondents, which
would be the most practical thing
to do.
As soon as the manufacturer reply
reaches the sharper he Immediately
gives an order of a certain importance
without discussing prices or attempt
ing 10 obtain an extra discount This
Hberality, in an epoch when competi-
ton is so keen, ought certainly to give
the firm chosen as a victim cause for
reflection. But the latter, on the con-
trary, happy to find so easy a pur-
chaser, does not show the least anx-
iety. To cover the amount of the in

No sooner does the merchandise reach

PLAGUE SWEPT INDIA.
In Ten Years There Have Been 4,4f1,-
212 Deaths-MortaIity Increasing.

London.-During the first three and
a half months of 1907 the deaths frcu
the plague in India totaled $4,000
the heaviest monthly mortality yer
reported during the epidemic. Ac
cOrding to the Indian World this
would appear to show that the present
year will exhibit a record number OF
deaths.
The plague records for the ter
years October, 1896. to December
1906, show that there was a large
annual increase from 1901 to 1904, the
deaths numbering 27400O in 1901, ST.
600 in 1902, $4,000 in 1903 and 1922
900 in 1904. the worst year in ten
years.
There was a small decrease in 1905.
the deaths falling to 951, 600. and
large decrease in 1906 when there
were only $4,000. The total deaths
for the whole ten years numbered
4,411,212 The Improvement which
was shown in the two years 1903 and
1906 has not, unfortunately, been
maintained.
From the first appearance Of the
disease up to the year 1901 the NOR
JaIity was greatest in the Bombay
presidency, hut from 1902 onward
with one exception, the worst area has
been the Punjab, and in 1905 the
deaths in the latter province alone
numbered 264. 625.

GOES BACK AGAIN.

VIM Edee, arrested on a charge of
burglarizing the home of o. q. Schil-
ling on the night of JAN 6, decided to
save the county the expense of trial
and on Friday last entered a plea of
guilty. de was sentenced to serve a
term of four and one-half years in the
state prison. The penalty prescribed
by law was from three to eight years.
ln view of the fact that Edee is a third
termer," he can consider himself lucky
that he got off so easy, and he did look at
the matter il that light He afterwards
said that he expected to get the limit,
and was pleased that the sentence was
not more than that given him. He was
not represented by counsel, nor did he
ask for the appointment of counsel.
Except for a little moisture which APP
peared in his eyes, he took his SEN
tence very coolly and when asked if he
had anything 10 say why sentence
should not be pronounced, he said he
had not.
The officers were lucky in arresting
Edee when they did, for had he been
given another lays time he undoubted-
ly would have disposed of all the
jewelry stolen. The three school
teachers boarding in the Schilling home
got back their watches and part OF
their jeweiry and in so doing were will
ing to sacrifice the money stolen. Had
Edee been sentenced in some other
states, where the habitual criminal law
applies, he would have been given life

COUPON BALLOT AGAIN.

DIR. Moncena Dunn went to Madison
yesterday, where he will remain for
some time and present to the legisla-
ture his new bill for the adoption of
the coupon ballot, which he has per-
fected and which he now feels answers
all reasonable objections made to its
adoption last year. Many improve
ments have been made, among others
the addition of tally sheet system,
which records each ballot by number
and permits of corrections at the end
of every count of twenty-five ballots.
Among tae changes made in the pres
ent bill over last year are the following:
The county board of any county may
adopt the coupon ballot; the number of
ballots to be furnished will be only
half so great; the previously called
"pocket envelope" is replaced with a
folder, answering the same purpose,
which can be made in any printing
office; one ballot box is used instead of
two; the ballots are numbered but not
identified and the parts kept together,
which obviates the necessity of match
ing them. DR.. Dunn feels that this
year he has bill qualified to meet all
criticisms and is confident of lis sue

PROFITABLE YEAR.
Marathon County Telephone Co.'S
Stock Increases in Value.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Marathon County Tel
ephone Co. was held last Tuesday after
noon in the court house. The reports
of the secretary and treasurer were
highly complimentary to the business
management of the company and also
showed thai the past year had been a
very prosperos one, the net earnings of
81, ,216.49 being an increase of S619 SO
over the year previous. 1t was voted
to declare dividend of 5 per cent. to be
paid May lst.
Stock which sold for S25 five years
ago, it is estimated has increased in
value to $41. There remains unsold
100 shares of stock and it was agreed
not to sell any more, until such time
as the money may be needed for exten-
sions or improvements. The present
value of the company's lines and equip
ment is placed at S12, ,362 o. Deduct
ing 81, ,52l SO for subscribed stock and a
small Indebtedness there is 81 S40.05
worth of equipment free of incum-
brance.
During the year SO, ,424 50 was received
from the sale of tools, etc. The dis
bursements amounted to SO, 401 40, leav-
ing $23.29 in the treasury. The tolls
from the Wausau station amounted to
$817 80 an increase of S17760 over the
year previous. In point of receipts
Edgar was second and Marathon City
third. The latter station made the
second largest gain.
Superintendent w. HI. Smale was
given authority to allow the Marathon
City local exchange to use the COM
pany's poles for distance of three
miles, in stringing wires to Ziegler.
The superintendent reported that
people in Rib Falls and Hamburg were
desirious of telephone connection and
would subscribe for $500 worth of stock.
This matter was referred to the direct
ors.
The matter of making extensions the
coming summer was discussed. The
sentiment appeared to be that the COM
pany already has the county pretty well
covered with its lines. If more lines
are built they will be constructed in
localities where there is little business
and where the tolls received would not
warrant making the extensions.
