A HIGHWAY ROBBERY ON
 COMMERCE ST. RAISED ROW
But oniy Dime Was at Stake and the RObbeF Was Only f Years old.

Commerce Street last evening, theo- retleally, threw hand spring, landed on its all fours and then looked around . to see what had happened. Piercing snrisks or "Murdsrr Stop thief" Per slice!' were slashing and hurtling through the atmosphere. and striking the ears of Policeman Shirley brought that member of the force sailing along 5 the street the precipitation, cold and icy, stopping out of each pore. Near one of the fruit stores at the lower end of the street two negroes were locked in a deathlike embrace the one struggling to get away. and the other hanging to him with the per- tenacity of thoroughly aroused bull dog. Tells of 'Leggo O mel You wait tiP I catch you Gimme dis money!" and ''Tek yo teet outen my laigl" punc- .tuated the screams for civic aid in a rattiing, shattering crescendo that oe- casionally died down to a snuffly whis- per, rasped out between clenched teeth.
 A hurly- -burly of flying legs and arms. dust, banana skins and old tomato cans formed the exposure of all eyes, and the assembled spectators breathed a sigh of relief as the officer waded into the fraeas and yanked the belligerents apart.
 Without waiting to listen to details. Shirley waltzed the two to the patrol wagon ,thaL DaQ answered d hurry call, and took his prizes to the hotel for hot headed hottentot hoboes aud presented them to the desk sergeant.
 'Whachername?" the man behind the desk asked the larger prisoner.
 "Osark Staples"
 And" continued the officer suavely to the smaller offender. T presume yours to be Kicto Hasps? Yes? No?"
 My name Algernen Arlington Ason," was the dulcet answer.
 How old are you" the sergeant asked the larger of the two.
 T is nine an dis boy six and he say try to tief he dime, and I ain tief no dime I ind de dime"
 "You's a liar" the other broke in. You is try fuh tief my dime, and das mek I call de perlice to git you pinch ed :" .

The FIRST FARMER OF WISCONSIN
What Ex Governoc Hoard Says on
State Aid for Country Roads.

"In my judgment, nothing has
come before the people of the State in
many years which means more to the
future progress and development of our
commonwealth than this very ques-
tion of State Aid.
"The farmer is especially interested
if he can but see the question in its
true EghC. There is powerful pressure
of public sentiment for the improve
ment of our roads. The farmer has re-
sisted this pressure because, as matters
now stand, the burden of construction
would come on him, but if the proposed
amendment to the constitution is car
ried, then all the property of the state
is placed under contribution for this
important object.
"Then again there is no man in the
state who is more vitality interested
from the hard cash standpoint, in hav-
ing good roads to his market town,
than the farmer. The nearer to town
his farm lies the greater it's value, and
the more it will sell per acre. A good
macadamized road that can be used in
all kinds of weather and all times of
the year for the heaviest loads, practi-
cally reduces distance fifty per cent,
for double the load can be handled
and, if need be, the distance can be
travelled in half the time. Wherever
such roads have been built, the effect
has been to at once increase the selling
value of the farms adjoining from SIC
to 500 per acre.
s"These are hard practical reasons
looking to an increase of farm values
and wealth, and I believe they lie
within this proposition of State Aid
for roads.

DOOM OF THE TELEGRAPH TICKER
Telephone Coming Rapidly into use
on the Chicago & Northwestern
Railroad.

The day of the telegraph for the dis
patch and operation of railroad trains
is evidently doomed and the day of
the telephone is at hand. The change
from the ticker to the receiver and
mouthpiece has been greatly acceller-
ated by the passage and operation OF
the nine-hour telegraph law. When
the telegraphers urged the passage of
the law it was said that they were
digging their own graves and this is
likely to come true. Already four of
the great systems centering in Chicago
have telephone lines covering 1,4OO
miles and additions are being rapidly
made. 1t is said that the movement
of the Telegraphers' Union to secure
better hours and more pay has ad"
vanced the telephone movement from
ten to twenty years.
Plans of Northwestern.
The Northwestern has recently in
stalled a telephone between Chicago
and Janesville, a distance of ninety
miles, and is now using the phone for
dispatching trains between Chicago
and Baraboo, distance of 1855 miles.
By Oct. l, % additional miles between
Baraboo and Winona will be in oper-
alton, making it possible to dispense
with the services of sixty telegraphers
The company also has a general service
phone between Chadron and RAPID
Cit y, Neb., a distance of 130 miles.
The Illinois Central, RockIsiand and
Burlington are also installing tele-
phones.
