A Bad Telephone Situation.

The telephone situation in Lin
coin county, particularly in Toledo
and Newport, is not in the shape
that it ought to be for the best SER
vice OF the people, and ior the COM
panies operating phones themselves.
There are two commercial COM
panies doing business in the county,
each with a fair share of the bust
ness, and each trying to get more.
While we freely admit that these
companies have right to do busi-
ness, vet it seems to us that the
public has some rights in the mat
ter, and it is for the public that we
speak. Take the two systems, with
all the phones each have in oper-
alton, and the county is fairly well
covered as to lines and phones. But
when this is divided and the service
is cut in two it ruins the service the
best the companies can do.
The reasonable, logical thing for
the two companies to do is to con-
solidate and give the people the best
possible service. We do not know,
nor do we undertake to Judge, as to
the rights or wrongs OF the two
companies now operating, but we
do know that the public on the
other side is getting tired of the
mixed situation. 1t seems strange
to us that the companies themselves
do not see the awkward position
they are in and do not combine in
some businesslike manner. Surely
the men composing the management
of the companies have enough busi-
ness acumen to remedy this con-
dition.
AS we stated above, it is none of
our business except in so far as the
public is concerned, and it is for
them that we call the attention of
these companies to the condition
that exists, and we ask in the name
of the public that they remedy it.

Her Exclamation.

Officers on the coastwise and for
eign steamship lines are not limited 10
their regular duties, but are expected
to answer the questions OF curious
passengers besides. Sometimes, how
ever, the passengers take the matter
into their own hands, and instruct
others more ignorant than themselves.
The purser on a well-known liner
tells of a lady who had made a pass
age before, and who in consequence
felt a superior knowledge of maritime
things. (.
Several ladies we're grouped In the
stern, this one among them, when
their attention was attracted by the
log with its long line attached to the
rail.
"Why, what can that be?" inquired
one of the party.
THAT" said the knowing one.
well, you see the vessel has to keep
in communication with the land, and
in order to tell just how far they have
got on the passage they keep one end
tied to the dock, and by looking at the
amount of line paid out they can tell
Just how far they are from the other
side"
"Ohl" exclaimed the other, after
this lucid explanation. well, have
always heard of the log, but l never
knew what one was before. Thank
you so much!"-Youth's Companion.

Topeka, May 1O.-A number of i'm
portant decisions were handed down
by the supreme court Saturday, chief
among them we're those where the
court denied a writ of mandamus
against James NJ. Nation, state audi
tor which was sought by j. c. Hopper
of Ness county to compel Nation to
sell him a tract of school land, COM
posed of a series of 20-acre tracts, so
arranged that they included a large
portion of creek bottom lands. The
court holds that in the provision of
the statute requiring each legal sub
division of school land to be appraised
separately prior to its being exposed
for sale, the phrase quoted refers to
the smallest subdivision under the
congressional system of surveying,
namely, 40-acre tracts"
Hopper paid to the county treasurer
of Ness county the purchase money,
but the court holds that there Is no
machinery provided for the return of
the money.

preference law, which says that SOL
diers are to have every preference in
the appointments to city, county and
state positions, was held good by the
court and that the appointing power
had complete and full authority to de-
termine whether the old soldier appli-
cant was competent to fill the posi-
ton.
The husband of Mrs. Emma Sewell
of Wyandotte county was an express
messenger and was killed in Santa
Fe wreck. 1t was shown at the trial
that the railroad was negligent, but
Sewell had signed a release to the
express company not to hold it liable
for injuries which he might receive.
The express company had signed a
release to the railroad not to hold 1t
liable for damages to its property or
employees. The court decided, in spite
Of these waivers, the employees heirs
might collect damages where the neg
ligence was shown.

The hardihood OF these animals Is

As the herds increase, the natives
