The Kaiser's Reform.

A correspondent says the Kaiser has
become a teetotaler, having pledged
himself to abstain from all alcoholic
drinks for the remainder Of his life.
This is described as "A further step
in his policy of personal reform" 1t
is added that as etiquette would. in
consequence OF his majesty not touch
ing alcohol, Danish alcoholic drinks
from all the dinners his majesty at.
tends, he not desiring TO compel the
courtiers to follow his example, has
invented temperance beverage.
which effervesces like champagne and
which is served In champagne bottles,
which his majesty drinks while the
others enjoy the real thing.
As the kaiser has always had the
reputation of being very temperate,
the story, II true. points to his action
being taken because of his health or
because of asceticism.

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 3.-In a com
denial, Senator Foraker to-
day disposed Of the story published in
the Toledo Times this morning giving
what purported to be an authorized
statement from him to the effect that
there had been no peace compact be-
tween himself and Judge Taft; that
President Roosevelt had adopted the
policies of Mr.. Bryan, and between the
two he preferred the genuine to the
imitation; that the only difference be.
tween the democrats and republicans
was that the republicans favored tariff
after March 4 and the demo-
Gratis favored immediate revision, and
he believed in immediate revision.
Denies Statement.
1.-The statement In the Toledo
Times" said the senator today, sis
grossly misleading. I told a reporter
for the Times that there had been no
agreement Of any kind. either made
or suggested; that there was no trou-
BILE between Judge Taft and myself;
that I had not made any request OF
Judge Taft and he had not made any
Of me; that our conversation yester.
day was only social, and that which

Dividends Too Small.
Mr.. Campbell, the manager of the
Laramie exchange, Is already present.
ing the new contracts for signature.
The raise in rates was determined up
at the Cheyenne meeting recently,
when 1t was stated by the collectors
for the company in the Wyoming d.
vision that the returns were not
bringing the Rocky Mountain Bell Tel
ephone company as much as 6 per
cent on the money invested and that
a raise would be necessary to produce
this minimum dividend. The COM
pany, 1t was stated at the Cheyenne
meeting, would be satisfied with a re-
turn of 6 per cent. There are now
420 Instruments in use on the Lar
annie exchange lines, exclusive of those
on toll lines leading from the central
Office in The Republican building. OF
these, 126 are on the measured
service" variety, and these will be
converted into open" machines, with
out limit as to the use to which they
may be put.
New Cable Line.
Mr.. Campbell states that the cable
is o on hand to extend a cable line,
starting with 100 pairs Of wires from
the central station. along Grand ave.
nue. to Eleventh street, this cable be-
ing in addition to the immense cable
system already in use. Mr.. Campbell
says that at the Cheyenne meeting Of
fcers of the company told him that
the contemplated improvements here
would place the Laramie exchange
among the very best belonging to the
company, considering the size of the
city and the large number of instru-
ments used.

nearly 10000 plurality.
Doubtful States Not Doubtful.
They hold this indicates that the
doubtful states will go republican this
fall, and they point to this fact in sup
port of their theory:
Since 1880, the country has gone
republican in every presidential cleo
ton in which Vermont. in its state
election, has rolled up a republican
plurality of $4,000 or more. On the
other hand, the democrats have won
