SAN BERNARDINO, June 2.-The
Home Telephone company here has re-
voked the rule established some time
ago requiring an advance payment of
rental of six months for business tele-
phones and one year for residence
phones. The rule proved to be quite
unpopular and was acting as bar to
great amount of new business. The
question got into court, and, while the

considered advisable to revoke the
order and hereafter responsible par

 SUCCESS.
 N | II   Springdale Chautauqua Pays Out While Neighboring Chautau- quas Lose Money.

The Chautauqua closed Sunday night with lecture by Henry Clark, who was to have appear ed Saturday afternoon, but was unable to get here on account of delayed trains.
 Taken as d whole the Chau- tauqua has been q success, and while there were some attrae- tions that were not just what was expected, generally the program throughout was all excellent one. Probably those that gave most general satisfaction here were Edward Amherst Ott, the Hun garian orchestra, kellogg-Haines Singing Party and moving pie lures.
 Another feature most pleasing of all IS the fact that the Chau- tauqua peld out, which IS largely due to the careful management of Dr. A. C. Smith. It IS under stood that Rogers fell behind with her Chautauqua about S40o, Fayetteville between $500 and 5000, and Fort Smith about sl200. When these things are considered, Springdale can be congratulated on her success.
