Eayesdropping Over the Phone.

The rural telephone has been great
blessing to the farmers all over the west
ern country. 1t has done very much to
save long trips to town. It is wonder
full help in time of sickness and at
threshing time; in short, is an improve
ment which farmers would not get along
without at any reasonable cost.
There are, however, some grave abuses
in the use of these rural telephones
They are so constructed when call is
made for one member it is heard by all,
and any person who wishes to go to the
phone whenever the bell rings can be in
touch with the gossip of the whole COM
munity. In other words, the telephones
are used for eavekdroppipg.
This is conceded by all to be one of
the worst of all small vices which a
child may contract and every sensible
parent takes every pains to control the
natural curiosity OF children about every
thing that is going on by pointing out to
them the necessity of attending strictly
to their own business and paying no at
tention whatever to things that do not
concern them.
There are other abuses connected with
the rural telephone system, but all could
easily be corrected if. the managers
would limit conversations, as they have
IN town, to three minutes and charge for
longer use of it. Any farmer or farmers
wife can say all that needs to be said in
three minutes, whether it is about buy
ing new horse, the baby's teething,
Johns cold, or new dress pattern, or
the prospects for weddings in the neigh
borhood. The rural telephone is a won
derful help to farmers but like all other
good things, it may be and in some cases
is very greatly abused, to the moral det-
riment OF those who abuse it Madison
Democrat.

BOLD ROBBERY AND HOLD-UP.
The Home of Henry Wileman Robbed
and His Son Willard Bound
and Gagged.

Our usually quiet and peaceful CON-
munity was startled Wednesday evening
by report of bold robbery and hold
up at the residence OF Henry Wileman
on Blaine street. A stranger was seen
lurking around the premises earlier in
the evening and when Mrs. Wileman
went to the show at Royal hall she met
Mr.. Wileman down town and suggested
that he had better 60 home and look
after the house, as all the family were
away. Later Mr.. Wileman arrived at
his home, turned on the electric lights
and waited for the return of the family.
On the return of the son Willard, who in
passing around to the rear entrance was
knocked insensible, gag of paper thrust
tie bis hands behind his back. In this
condition Willard was found some time
after nearly choked. On further inves-
tigation it was found that thieves had
entered the chamber, gone through
trunk belonging to Mrs. Wileman's
brother, from which was taken $500 in
money. A satchel containing other
plumber was found on the roof of the
veranda, which the robber in his hasty
departure had left.
The supposition is that the intruder
was just making his escape when Willard
appeared on the scene and he turned on
him with brutal assault, leaving him
as he thought in condition so he could
not raise the alarm. The marshals were
Immediately notified and the neighbor-
hood thoroughly searched but no clue
has thus far been secured of the robber.
The home of Mrs. Quigley in the third
ward is also reported to have been en-
tered the same evening but on awaken
ing Mrs. @. they left without disturbing
anything.

TRAITORS IN TOBACCO SOCIETY.
President Holmes Says They Should
Be Bounced.

In his address before the Madison con-
vention on Wednesday, President FL. b..
Holmes of the Wisconsin tobacco branch
OF the American Society of Equity says
be has discovered few traitors holding
Office in the association, and he does not
believe in showing these men any quar-
ter.
Mr.. Holmes declared that he knows of
men who are holding Offices in the asso-
citation who are contracting the sale of
tobacco in the field. He said they we're
not only doing that themselves, but that
they were encouraging others to do it.
"These men should be ridden out of
Office just as quickly as possible" said
Mr.. Holmes. they are not interested
in the welfare and success of the associa-
ton. Their interest is selfish one, and
they are feathering their own nest and
not helping the movement. [ do not be-
lieve in these field contracts. Good prices
are offered, but we know that when it
comes right down to paying, the farmer
does moi. get anywhere near what he was
offered"
The organization selected the follow
ing officers: President, James Ell. Town
send, Cambridge; Vice President, j. G.
Hanson, Deerfeld; Secretary, George o.
Moen, Madison; Treasurer, Lars O. Lien,
Albion; Directors-Ole Lieum, Westby;
Theodore Simon, Taylor; Axel Thronson,

g. Jennings, Viroqua.

Charity does not mean alone the
giving of aims. Charity may be ex-
pressed in other and ofttimes more sub
stantial ways. 1t is charity to overlook
a fault, charity to offer encouragement
to disheartened fellow, charity to con-
ceal the faults and magnify the virtues
of others, charity to respect the family
name when some son or daughter gets in
trouble, charity to spare the feelings of
neighbors and friends. charity to avoid
needless worry and pain and il possible,
cheer the disconsolate, bear the burdens
of the weak and assist the bereaved to
bear the burden of sorrow. And no class
of people on earth have better or more
frequent chance to demonstrate the vir-
tues of true charity than the country

Death of Mrs. Ctyburn, WUe OF
the Hon. W. u. Ctyburn

Mrs. Queen Clyburn, wife of
The Hon. w. U. ClyburD, of the
Halle Gold Mine section, died
at her home Monday morning,
after a protracted illness. A
lady Of excellent christian char.
acter she bore her long weeks
of suffering with marked resigna-
ton. patience and fortitude.
Mrs. Clyburn was the daugh-
ter of the late Beckham Hilton
and was about 45 years of age.
Besides the bereaved husband
she leaves the following named
sons and daughters: Beck ham, +,
Ernest, Frank and James Cly-
burn, Mrs. John Jenkins, Misses
Ada, Grace and Ruth Clyburn.
She is also survived by her
mother and the following broth
ers and sisters: Mr.. Lee Hilton,
IF Charlotte; Mr.. Joseph Hilton,
OF Heath Springs; Mr.. Thomas
Hilton, of Camden Messrs Rich
ard and Pickett Hilton, of Taxa
haw; Mrs. l.. w. HInson, Of
Primus, and Mrs. John A Cook,
of Lancas er.
Mrs. Clyburn also leaves an
unusually large circle of frlendr
and aquaintances to lament he'd
untimely passing away. BlesSes
with the nobler attributes of true
womanhood, she won the friend-
ship of all with whom she came
in cont act. She was friend to
the poor and needy, and was
all that a good and generous
hearted neighbor could be, and
while she will be greatly missed
in the community in which she so
long resided, it is in the home
circle that her loss will be most
sorely ielt, for she was indeed a
model wife and mother.
The remains of Mrs. Clyburn
were laid to rest yesterday at
Pie SAINT Plains Baptist church,
OF which she was a loyal member,
the Rev. t. a. Dabney, of Lam
caster, conducting the funeral
services.
