Rereslu,d: r. Z. Crothers, of Brook
ln9s.
In tie selection of a location for
the convention Of 1908, Pierre and
Yankton were presented. The
Pierre supporters considered that the
legislature would be in session at
that time and that 1T would be a
good idea for the telephone men to
be there. The Yankton supporters
opposed going to Pierre on the ground
that the expense would be too great,
inasmucb as the greater proportion
Of the members lived south Of Mitch
ell, and the further fact that it was
so far out OF the way that it would
take nearly three davs to .aake the
round trip. When it came to a vote
Yankton won out by a vote Of Is tc

The convention adjourned for a
short evening session.

MAkMURI, THE vIoLlRIs1
A Young Man With a Wonderful
Gift in Handling the Strings
and Bow Appeared.

Lulled into a dreamy state 10y

excitement with the music tingling
and Vibrating Through you we're
experiences n went through in
listening to the playing of Fred1ik
Makmuri Friday evening when he
appeared i'm a recital at the city hall
auditorium before an audience,
which, while lacking in numbers,
more than made up in enthusiasm.
Mr.. Maximum plays the violin, and
THAT is more than merely drawing
the bow cross the strings. The
music that he has in bis heart Ii.
forces into yours by the very great
magnetism there seems to be to his
playing, and 1T exhilerates and lifts
one TO a higher state where they view
life in its most roseate hue. Mr..
Maximum appeared on the program
three times, playing a q%uadruple
plumber the first time in which he
presented "Legende," by BONN,
"Humoresque," by Dvorak, "Air
e String), by Bach, and "Hungar-
ian Dance" by Brahms, a series of
numbers that brought into execution
q varied degree of work. His rem
ditlon of a Faust Fantasia, by
Sarasate, vas the best number of the
evening in which he showed a mar
Vicious execution and technique. he
closed the program with a triple
number of three dainty selections that
were exquisite]y played. Mr.. Maximum
is a fire artist with the music in his
soul to a remarkable degree and his
interpretations are excellent. he
plays with a delicate touch, yet has
the strength in eserve for the more
digniied passages, and which he does
not draw on too heavily. Mr.. Max
muri is a young man, barely 80 years
old. and there is no question but
what the day will come when he will
stand high in the ranl, among the
first violinists of the country. He is
the son OF Rev. and Mrs. II. j.
Macmnrray of this city, and is visit.
Ing with them for the present.
To Miss Georgia Scott, of the Uni
velsity Conservatory Of Music, there
is much credit due for the very cap
able manner in which she played the
accomplishments of Mr. Maximum,
and she played them faultlessly and
with much sympathy and intelli-
gence.
Miss Florence Winsor played a

lected for 1909 Convention.

THURSDAY afternoon Witnessed
practically the closing session OF the
South Dakota Independent Telephone
Association. The morning was
devoted to al inspection OF the sup
plies of the houses selling telephone
goods and the visitors were RECALLED
with the good points of the material
by the supply men.
In the afternoon some very inter.
esting papers On telephone subjects
were presented by men experienced
IN the business and what they had
to say was listened to with profit by
those who have ben in the business
a shorter time, and they we're here
for the purpose OF acquiring know
ledge on the points in which they
were deficient.
j. 81. Shoemaker, OF Waterloo,
Iowa, presented the first paper on
"Profts, or Getting the Money"
Nh. Shoemaker went into his subject
with a vim and determination to
convince his hearers that they
should give this subject proper
thought, and it is evident by the
thorough manner in which he dis
cussed the matter that be has done
this himself. He suggested strongly
the elimination of going to so much
trouble n expense in collecting the
telephone bills. and cited instances
of where it cost just about as much
to collect the bill as the account
came to. He spoke Of the system
adopted at some places in Iowa.
Where customers were slow about
paying their bills it was the policy Of
the phone company to shut them out
OF service until the hill was paid,
and further than that, it was
required of the customer that he
come to the office and pay the bill,
after it had been left with him.
j. l.. w. Zeitlow presented a payer
on "Tclephone Conditions in Eur
ope." Last year Mr.. Zeitlo@ was
across the water and naturally looked
up the telephone business over there.
He told OF the manner in which the
telephone system was conducted
there and it was interesting. j. G..
Funston, of Geddes, read a paper on
"Training Operators and Trouble
Men for Small Exchanges" This
is one thing that puzzles many of the
slnaller exchanges in the state aud
Mr.. Funston's plan seemed to meet
the approval CT the phone men. a.
S. Hall, of Redfield. spoke of the
Culture Prospects for the Telephone
in South Dakota,N and he held
forth a very alluring picture for the
telephone men, to gaze upon, and
which he considered was certainly
not oyerdrawn.

Special to Times-Repuplican.
Davenport, Oct. 9.-When h $780,

Tri-City Railway company, went to the
jury, 1t took that body just forty-ive
minutes to decide in their w minds
that MI. Davis was not entitled, to any
damages. They therefore returned L
verdict in favor of the ri-City Rail
way company.
Mr.. Davis lives at Bowling Green,
Ky, and was a travelling salesman
for a mineral water concern at the
time he was injured several years age
by the collision Of two street cars in

tied with the company by accepting q
checkf or $125 and signing a waiver
releasing them from further claim fol
damages.
At the first trial the jury disagreed
At the second trial Davis secured q
verdict for $4,000. This verdict was
set aside by the court as being ex-
cessive and a new trial granted the
defendants. The trial just closed, ir
which Mr.. Davis receives nothing a.
the hands OF the Jury, was the thirc
one. The case was closely contested or
both Sides.
