THE POINT OF VIEW

Complaints sometimes come pretty
near being compliments. Much depends
upon the standards with which people
are familiar. They may become so ac-
customed to bad service as to weary of
pointing out it's shortcomings. On the
other hand, the man who complains
because his eggs and coffee are not sat
isfactory is probably accustomed to
good breakfast.
So the man who is obliged to wait
few extra seconds because "CentraT
does not speak as quickly as usual,
finds the delay irksome because it is an
exception to the rule of prompt service.
The service furnished by the Bell
telephone companies throughout the
United States is by far the best in the
world; even foreign experts admit that.
Yet with all the advantages coming
from the maintenance of an up-to-date
plant operated by sufficiently large
and highly trained force, irregularities
will happen. The aim of the Wiscon-
sin Telephone Company is to give COM
plete satisfaction to all subscribers all
the time. aTo err is human, but where
the company detects an error it will
apply a remedy.

Favor the Mail Carrier

Patrons of the rural routes out of
Watertown and elsewhere, for that
matter, should remember that the time
is near aat hand when the rural mail
carriers will have to endure great
deal of suffering on account of the
cold weather. Farmers can do much
to prevent one of the sources of their
suffering by providing yourselves with
a supply of stamps in advance of your
immediate needs and affiXing them to
your mail before depositing the same
in your mail box for the carrier to col
lect. Stamps may be had in con-
venient form, the tWo-cent denomina-
ton either in books of twelve, twenty
four or forty-eight stamps each, sell
ing for % cents, 4S cents and 81 cents,
respectively, or embossed on en-
velopes. You will see that for a car
rier to bare his benumbed hand to feel
around over the bottom of frosty box
is far from enjoyable. Your co-opera-
ton in this matter will be appreciated
by the carrier.

Proceeding on the theory that its

lower court holding it liable for assess

depot on Main street, the passenger
station on Race street, and property
on Academy and Pleasant streets,

1t also reversed the decision of the
lower court exempting a small piece of
property where the Macloon coal yards
are located, from which the city APP
Ipealed, and the adjudication consti-
tutes complete victory for the NUM-

An Age of Experts

We are living in an age of special
ism; an age when success can only be
attained by the concentration of every
thought upon the answering pursuit
of single object. Musty theories,
and ouack cures cannot stand out
against progressive medical science.
Recent discoveries are forcing old
methods of treatment in the shade.
Extraordinary diseases require ex-
traordinary treatment. This is the
kind given by the Illinois State Spe
cialists of Rockford, H., who state
the time to cure various diseases else
where in this paper. Sincere devo-
ton to their art, unimpeachable med
ical talent. and skill have placed these
experts upon pinnacle never before
reached by other doctors. All afflicted
should write for appointment card to
secure free consultation.

Praise for Miss Mullen

In speaking of Miss Genevieve Null
lens concert in Milwaukee last even
ing, the Sentinel says: with voice
that attained, upon occasions, an al
most startling tonal beauty Miss Gen
evieve Mullen delighted an audience
in the Anthenaeum last night. The
only weakness in Miss Mullen's con-
cert lay in the audience; her ability
deserved better support. A wonderful
beauty underlies Miss Mullen's voice;
care and understanding has been be-
slowed upon its development; Miss
Mullen has learned to produce her
tones in all their rich fullness. She
has learned in a measure, to beauti-
fully color her renditions. There are
points of weakness, however, in her
efforts. A lack of uniformity, an I'M
certainty-iS eVinced upon occasion;
there is, too, the suggestion of an I'M
desirable tremelo and sometimes an
insufficient cOlorature. Her greatest
perfection of tone is attained in the
higher registers. Last night, too,
Miss Mullen succeeded in making the
change from high to the lower regis
tiers with surprising effect. There is
room for improvement in Miss Null
lens workout she has already sue
ceeded in proving worth of her effect;
in bringing to her hearers the appeal
| ing qualities Of naturally beautiful
voice. Her program last night includ-
ed old classical, modern German and
miscellaneous English songs. 1t was
we'll selected, offering a variety which
precluded all firing effects. She car
ried it from start to conclusion with
an ease and lack of all strain that of
itself was meritorious."

FdVOrS Clymdn Town

The supreme court handed down
its decision in the case of Robert
Uecker, plaintiff VS.. the Town of ely
man, defendant, on Tuesday, decid-
ing in favor of the town of Clyman.
The plaintiff in this case brought
suit in circuit court in Dodge county
lover a year ago, claiming negligence
on part of the authorities Of Clyman
in not opening a certain road that
had been blockaded with snow for
period of about two weeks. The plain
tiff lost a horse in attempting to
drive around the blockade of snow
and by leaving the highway and driv-
ing through a field, the horse slipped
and fell and broke its leg in the
field ard it became necessary for the
owner to kill it. The town of CIyman
defended the action, contending that
under the statutes the town was not
liable unless the accumulation of
snow or ice had existed for a period
of three weeks. The circuit court de-
cided in favor of the town of Clyman,
and Mr.. Uecker appealed to the SUI
pfeme court, the supreme court al
| firmed the decision of the circuit
court and thereby decided that in
order to recover for injuries received
in a highway by reason of accumula-
| ton of snow, such snow must have
existed for a period of three weeks.
