PUBLICITY
Given to Marion's Proposed
Telephone Merger.
AN EMPHATIC DENIAL
Of Any General Agreement
has Been Made.
The Local Deal Has not Been Com.
pleted-- Presidents Hoge and
Beam Make Statements.

The International Independent Tel
cphone association, through its public
ity department, Is sending copies of a
letter to all the newspapers of the
state, explaining the situation ex-
isting between the Bell and the in
dependent companies in Ohio. The
following is a copy of the letter re-
ceived by the Mirror and shows that
the pending merger of the Bell and
Marion County Telephone company's
interests has given rise to widespread
comment:
To the Daily Press of Ohio and
| Northern Indiana: ~ q
President James b. Hoge. of the
international Independent Telephone
Association and President Frank l..
Beam of the Ohio Independent Tele-
lphone Association emphatically deny
the statement made by the Cincin-
natl papers. on the authority of Vice
President Bayard b. Kilgour, of the
Cincinnati and Suburban Bell Tele-
phone Company, that the Independent
telephone company. at Marion. Ohio,
had become attached to the Bell in
terests and that the Independent COM
panies in other Ohio and in all the
Northern Indiana cities would also
join hands with the Bell.
The Independent interests have 300,-
600 telephones in the State of Ohio
to the Bells 10000 and Indiana has
1926 Independent telephones while
the Bell has but 64,229. Almost ev-
lerywhere the Independents control
the local telephone business and give
excellent long distance service over
the lines of the United States and In
diana Long Distance systems.
In order to save the Cei.tral Union
Telephone Company from complete
annihilation. the Bell Company has
recently male a proposition to the
independent companies in OhjN and
Northern Indiana to abandon the To-
zeal field altogether provided the In,
ependents would take the Bell Ions
distance lines into their switcbboards
hnd give the Bell such toll business

REBATES
ABANDONED
No Come-back on Excursion
Tickets.
SPECIAL RATE. MADE
But Every .One Must Pay
His Fare.
Merchants, Manufacturers, Sunday
School and Lodges Barred From a
Share IN the Profit.

road rate law is no respecter Of per-
sons and now its mortal blow Is
falling upon the most innocent and
revered of our institutions, the Sun
day school. The passenger agents
hav. oeen hanGsd a roll II strict IN
structions, on the abolisilment OF re-
bates and refunding of commissions
to Sunday Schools for transportation
to picnics and outings. The rule will
also apply to church societies, lodges
and labor unions, running excursions
under their respective names and Sc
curing percentage on the sale or
tickets. Special rates will be made
to all organizations, however, but the
railroads must furnish all the adver-
tising bills and receive the full cash
fare called for In the rate named to
the interstate commerce commission.
The railroad agents have already con-
tracted for large number OF excur-
sions, but II the societies or organi-
cations think they will receive re-
bate. they will be badly disappointed.
This rule will effect the annual
Excursions of the Huber and Marion
Steam Shovel shops, also the mer-
chants excursion. AS they have been
in the habit of getting rebate, or
commission, on their tickets. On
every 81 .25 ticket sold, the shop real,
ICES a commission which usually adds
up to a sufficient amount to allow
the shop or organization to supply
jail of the emr ,oyes with free tickets
with practically no cost whatever.
Under the new rate law, the railroads
will pay all the advertising expenses
land the shops, If they wish to send
their employees off on an excursion,
will be compelled 10 pay the fare.
The greatest disappointment, how
ever will be to the Sunday School
workers. AS heretofore. It has been
,the custom of the management OF
Sunday Schools to arrange excursions
on the basis of a percentage given to
the school on every ticket sold. In
this way the school Is able to give
free tickets to a number of pupils
who are not abe to pay their fare,
and realize neat sum besides.
Erie Conductor Sechrist running on
extra morning freight train between
Gallon and Dayton, took suddenly
sick while his train was passing

was relieved from duty and remained

clan.

WORK ON EXTENSION
WILL START SOON
Commissioners will Grant a
Franchise.
Three Limited Cars for Service are
in the Local Erie
Yards.

The board of county commissioners
accompanied by General Manager
George H. Whysall, of the C. d. &
NJ, made a trip over the right-of-way
of the proposed extension of the in
terurban line to Bucyrus, Thursday.
The commissioners have not as yet
granted the application for a fran
chise sought by the company, but it
Is expected that action will be taken
In few weeks. Inc franchise will
grant the interurban company per-
mission to build its tracks over the
country crossroads.
Mr.. Whysall this morning said that
with the weather rapidly settling, the
prospects are that construction work
will be started in short time. The
company Is now waiting for mum
ber of the smaller articles to be used
in the work.
Three cars which the company ord
cred some time ago for the Column
bus, Marion & Bucyrus line are now
standing on the Erie siding In West
Marion. The cars are the largest ev-
er made for interurban service. The
company has not decided whether
they meet with all specifications, and
1t is probable that others will be
ordered.

Independent toll lines.
SO far none of the Independent
companies have accepted the Bell
proposition, as the rapid development
of the Independent long distance lines
will soop give them access to all the
important trade centers in the west.
The Bell, by circulating statements
to the effect that its plan had been
adopted by any Of the Independent
companies is guilty of willful mis-
statement quite In keeping with the
guerilla tactics which have charac-
terized its dealings with the public
in the past.

The object of the conference, ac-
cording TO statements made in the
letters. will be to discuss the pres

believed it would end in donation

He is as proud of the school as he is

the damage by rats in this country is

more each year than from all other

a very practical one.

managed to get rich while in Office
and invested in apartment houses
and did other things that indicated
an income far beyond his salary. He
claims that he made his money in

point that will be brought out in his
trial. The charge against him is con-
spiracy to defraud the government.

How To Make Your Canary Happy.

A lady of our acquaintance, sus-
pecting her canary might have lice,
took it in the early evening, after it
had gone to roOst, and sprinkled it
well with the insect powder usually
sold at bird stores. She then covered
the top of the cage with towel.
In the course of the evening she
picked lis lice from the towel. She
made that bird happy by killing 1lj
lice that were living upon it. We
have found by experience that moth
ing adds more to the happiness of Our
canaries than to buy little ten-cent
mirrors and hang on their cages in
such position that neither the sun
nor light shall dazzle the birds
They apparently take as much pleas
ure in looking at their pretty selves
as any young lady or gentlemen who
reads this article.

A certain judge who once presided
over a criminal court was famous as
one of the compassionate men who
ever had sat on the bench. His soft
ness of heart, however, did not pre-
vent him from doing his duty as
Judge in that court.
A man who had been convicted of
stealing small amount was brought
into the court for sentence. He
looked very sad and hopeless, and
the court was much moved by his
cOntritc appearance.
Have you ever been sentenced to
imprisonment" the Judge asked.
Never. Never!" exclaimed the

Judge consolingly. You're going

THE TIDE.

Once in our lives the tide goes out
Leaving desert of sand,
Sweeping our hopes and dreams away,
All that was joyful, grand.
Tangle of seaweed strewn about,
Far from the rocks where they grew,
Lifeless and drear, like hopes that died
Moments OF rapture We knew.
Once in our lives our priceless gems
That vanish like pebbles and shell.
Leaving us bowed in grief and tears
Tears we endeavored to quell.
Leaving ns lone with empty hands,
Seeking the treasures We missed,
Longing for friends gone long before,
Yearning for lips We have kissed
Once in our lives the tide goes out.
Yet, while we weep by the shore,
Foaming and singing the waves roll in,
Healing the heart that was sore,
Filling our souls with purer joys,
Round us its treasures it hurls,
Till we behold through fearful eyes
Millions of shimmering pearls.

An Astonished Indian.

In one of the engagements of Gen.
Sheridan with the Indians. his men,
taken unaware by the redskins, had
no time to remove their mountain
hOwitzer from the mule back, SO
they bIazed away, sending mule and
gun tumbling together down hill
upon he Indians, wi o fed in panic.
One of them, captured a few days
afterward, was asked why he ran
away. He replied: Me big Injun;
me no 'fraid of little guns or big
guns; but when white man shoots
jackass at Injun me light out damn
quick"
