long distance lines to all parts of
the State where the people needed
telephone service and to add new lines
where the amount of business done
made such lines necessary in order to
furnish efficient and prompt service.
You know the wonderful and steady
advance made in our State in agrtcui-
ture, horticulture, mining, stock rails

have had to meet this growth by
providing adequate telephone facii-

grown piece by piece following the

CENTURY MAGAZINE
EDITOR Died THUR

New York, Nov. 1S.-Richard Wat
son Glider, editor in chief of the
Century Magazine, since its founda-
ton in 1881. ana widely known as an
author and lecturer, died unexpected
ly tonight at the house of his sister,
Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer,, of An
gina Pectoris.
Mr.. Glider was taken i'll November
during lecture. The illness was
first diagnosed as simply indigestion.
Mr.. Glider was up and about the
following day. His physicians, on a
second diagnosis realized that the ma
ture of his malady was graver than
mere temporary attack of 'indiges-
ton, but they did not acquaint Mr..
Glider with the truth.
This morning no fears for him we're
felt and at noon his wife left the
house. Shortly after one o'clock she
was recalled by an urgent message.
DR.. Joseph Collins and DR.. Theodore
Janeway were called in consultation
with DR.. j. H. Hodgson and it was
realized that Mr. Glider had only a
few hours to live He suffered great
pain and opiates were administered
freely to ease his distress. When the
end came at 6 o'clock he was no long
er conscious.
y The funeral will be held from the

city, the supreme governing author
ity Of the reorganization. The di.
rectors stated that conference of
more than three days had convinced
them of the truth of the charges
against Mrs Stetson, namely, that she
had worked against the interests of
the church and of members of the
church who were not her followers,
and that she had persisted in teach
ings and practices which are contrary
to Christian Science.
Excommunication is rarely resorted
to in the Christian Science church
and in view of Mrs. Stetson's promi.
hence toadys action was regarded
here as the most drastic in the his
tory of the denomination. Mrs. Stet-
son was formerly first reader of the
first church of Christ Scientist OF
New York and until her suspension
today was the pastor emeritus of that
church at salary of $1,000 a year.

Milwaukee Crime
Still A MYSTERY

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 18.-The raw
ishers and murderers of little Hattie
Zinda-and the police believe there
were at least two-are still at large
tonight.
Various theories have been advanc-
ed by the police and others. That
two Russian laborers who disappear
ed the night of the crime were sus-
pected of being the guilty ones was
the most prominent theory advanced
today. This theory was thoroughly
Investigated and while two men are
missing, it has been ascertained that
the men against whom suspicion was
directed made plans several days pre-
viohs to their departure to Leave FRI
day or Saturday last, thus lifting sus-
picion against them.
While the police have little Of a
tangible nature to work upon, the
general trend Of opinion among the
heads of the department tonight. is
that two men familiar with the
neighborhood on the north side,
where the crime was committed, are
the guilty ones.
One step IN the solution or the
mystery was taken when it was de-
finitely ascertained that at least one
of the girls assailants was pro-
nounced blonde. This was discov-
cred by DR.. Wilhelm Becker, who
with DR.. H. E. Bradley conducted a
post mortem examination on the body
OF the dead girl. Human hair not
the girls was found clinging to the
corpse. -
A resolution will be introduced in
- common council at its next meet
ing offering reward of $1,000 for
the capture of the murderers.
Mayor Rose and other city officials
are stirred over the cruel murder and
will do all in their power to run
down the criminals. -,

bout He can't make the middle
weight limit any more, and I claim l

This was the expression of opinion
made by Billy Papke when he heard
that Stanley Ketchel had moved w
into another class and was now seek.
ing light heavyweight honors. Papke
denies his right even to this position.
'Ketchen never made the middle
weight limit" he said, "he always

bout and he takes on weight quickly
He can have a side bet any time he
wants to meet me for either title"
"I dispute his claim" he continued,
Ito the light heavyweight title just
as he disputed mine to the middle
weight honors. He never was able
to make the middleweight limit since
I've known him. He usually was over
1852 pounds when he stepped into the
ring"

Taft is thoroughly aroused by the &C
lions of the Zelayan government and
apparently is determined to make the
lives of United States citizens much
safer and considerably more respected
In Central America than they have
been heretofore.
The attitude OF the government wa"

case. -"
The state department promptly re-
piled. The answer was the result of
conference between the president and
the secretary Of state. r .
It gave the steamship concern no
