rate Home line

Manti, April 27.-The recent advance by
the Bell Telephone company in their prices
throughout the county has caused the
Commercial club and business men of
Manti to investigate the advisabilitS of
putting in a local telephone company for
MaEti. 1t is now under way ard arrange
ments have been made. with the Manti
Light & Power company TO use their poles
for the wires. An additional charge Of
10 cents to Ep1raifn and . cents to Mt
Pleasant has not met with the approval of
patrons of the present telephone system.
Another complaint Is that the poorest OF
service is now given its patrons here and
people are firing OF paying the extrava-
CANT prices charged. The Intention is to
form a stock company and invite all cit
liens to take stock in the enterprise,
which ought 10 make it success. The

DYING OUT N GERMANY
Socialism No Longer Strong Enough
to Create an Uproar on
the First of May.

Berlin, April 27.-All appearances in
dictate that May day this year will be
observed less generally than ever in
Germany. Many cities have forbidden
street parades or other public demon
STATIONS. and the employers organiza-
tons as rule have taken strict meas
ures 20 prevent the workingmen from
celebrating the day. using the threat
OF a weeks dismissal without pay IL
they absent themselves. This was the
means which last year brought the
Hamburg stevedores TO terms. The So
cial democratic national committee has
issued the usual proclamation upon the
socialists to observe the day, but the
appeal is less aggressive than usual. II
urges the local organizations to study
the situation for themselves and then
only celebrate the day If they can, do
so without getting into trouble with
their employers. The proclamation has
been the subject of criticism on the
part of the stalwart socialists, but the
leaders in their speeches deemed the
moderate recommendations as being
the only wise course IN view OF the
firm attitude of the municipalities.

Alleged Murders in Hospital

Three murders have been committed
in tee Dixmont Hospital for the Insane
at Dixmont, Pc, according to testi-
mony given by man who says be was
an eye witness to them, at Saturday S
session OF the Legislative Luuscy Com
mission. One of the men killed, the
witness swore, was literally boiled alive
in one Of the tubs of the hospital, An
other was jumped upon and killed be
cause he would not obey some orders OF
one of the keepers. The third was killed
in much the same manner.
Andrew Huston, for three years an
inmate of the asylum, but now pro-
nounced cured. was the witness making
the charges. He declared that he was
present at each OF the deaths Of the
patients.
The superintendent sent for the records
and these showed that deaths OF three
patients had occurred on the days men,
iioned by Huston. The names were the
same and the manner of death, as de-
scribed upon the records, was "exhaus-
tioD."
No word of these deaths ever filtered
TO the outside world. The hospital au-
thorities have always maintained an air
Of mystery that sccords well with the
gloomy aspect OF the hospital buildings
Even the records of the coroner OF the
county tell no part Of the tale.
Not until Saturday had the true facts
back of the escape of the young matri'
eide, Bertha Beilstein, leaked from The
ias,itution. 1t was clearly due TO the
