The State census.

IF the state should discontinue the.
present plan of taking a strictly
state census in the years ending
with IS" would it result in any
actual disadvantage? This is an in
teresting question which has been
raised by discussion started by
some of the legislators now at Madi-
son, and may possibly lead an effort
to effect a change in the interests Of
economy. Under the present law
the state takes a census during the
middle VI eaca decade, tnus l1tornat-
ing with the federal census which
occurs at the commencement Of
such periods. The cost of the last
census, taken ip 1905 but just COM
pleJed, is stated to be about $3.50,
1000, and each future census will IN
crease this amount on account Of
the growth of population and the
increased work necessary in gather
ing the statistics. 1t has been sug-
gested that this is virtually a waste
of money, for the reason that no
particular advantage is gained by
having a five year count Of the peo-
pie, while every reasonable purpose
would be served By the federal cen
sus which is taken every ten years.
There is probably some merit to
this argument, although it is doubt
full if even a knowledge of such
fact would suffice to change the
present plan. 1t is true that about
the only direct benefit derived from
having the state census taken every
five years IS to permit the legisia-
ture to make a re-apportionment OF
| the legislative districts of the state,
but the people have become &C
custOmed to the present plan, and
| it is usually hard to change a Gus
tom Of this kind after it has been
once established. While no inter
ests would greatly suffer, in all
probability, If legislative re-appOr-
tionments were made every ten
years, instead Of every five years as
now, some would of course object
to the longer periods and insist on
superiority of the law as it stands.
While, therefore, a tidy sum could
be saved by the state if it would
consent to rely exclusively on the
federal census there is little prospect
of the suggested change being ef~
fected. And especially as the pro-
posed change would deprive a large
number of local politicians of the
chance to pick up little pin money
each time the state census is taken.

DISCOVERED PHONE.
Mrs. w. H. Beebe, Wife Of Capt. Beebe,
First to Transmit Sound Waves.

The death of Mrs. W. H. Beebe.
wife of Capt. Beebe of Platteville,
recalls the connection of the family
with the development of the tele-
phone system, which now connects
almost every nook of the universe.
If Capt. Beebe had developed his
ideas more rapidly BIB" phones
would today occupy the place of
BELL"
At the close Of the civil war. in
which Mr.. Beebe had served as
captain in a company which be and
the late Archibald Bel, who was
later located at Milwaukee as an
attorney, organized, he turned his
attention toward the working out
ol the telephone whenever his
duties of an attUrney would permit.
Before such thing as a tele-
phone was in existence a telegraph
instrument was placed in his house,
which connected with the local
station at the Milwaukee depot.
One evening, while experimenting
with the telegraph instrument, he
requested Mrs. Beebe to hum a
tune in the sounder of the instru-
ment, which was distinctly heard at
the Platteville Office. He then had
Platteville connect every instru-
ment on the Milwaukee roads
Mineral Point division. Mrs. Beebe
then hummed Home, Sweet Home"
in the sOunder, and every lnstru-
ment on this division reproduced it,
much to the CONSERVATION and
wOnderment of every operator at
the key. This reproduction Of the
tune caused much comment, and
the newspapers all through the
United States commented upon it.
This experiment established a
principle, and he soon had 2 rude
telephone built from PIatteville to
Lancaster, a distance of sixteen
miles, which was the only long dis
lance line in existence. The trans
mitter was made OF the heads of
toy drums. with the coil and battery
effect Of the phone attached. 1t
was over this line that Gen. Grant
first talked on a phone. Gen. Grants
doubt in the reality of ii was so
great that he would not believe
there was not joke being played
upon him. To convince the general
y. Allen Barber Of Lancaster. an
time friend, was called TO the
Lancaster end of the line and en-
gagged in conversation with the
general at PlattevIlle. Upon hear
ing Mr.. Barber's voice he became
convinced.
Capt. Beebe has developed a sys-
tenn that connects the entire county
of Grant. He has been one who
has been able to stand alone against
combines and has one of the few in
dependent lines.
