COMMISSION ON
TELEPHONE BILLS
All Bills Must be Paid in Advance by
Subscribers.
PHONES MAY BE REMOVED
Subscriber Must Allow a Reasonable
Time for the Comp any 10 Make
Needed Repairs.

The State Railway Commits
sion has held in a recent ruling
that telephone subscribers must
pay their rental in advance and
that subscriber must allow the
company a reasonable time in
which to repair the phone after
it gets out of repair. The rul-
ing made by the commission is
as follows:
35a. Discontinuauce of Ser
vice for Non Pa y ment. A rule
of telephone company that tel
ephone rent must be paid in ad-
vance is reasonable, and sub
scriber refusing to comply there
with is not entitled to service
from the company. Counterclaim
does not justify non-payment.
A telephone company may en-
force the payment of its current
dues and tolls by the summary
method of denying service, re-
gardless of the fact that the de-
linquent patron claims the COM
pany is indebted to him.
35b. Deduction from Rentals
on Account Of Defective Service.
"A telephone subscriber is pre-
sumed to know that his tele-
phone is liable to get out Of
order, and, if it is situated in
the country, that some time may
elapse before il can be repaired; {;
and such subscriber is only en-
titled to a deduction from his
bill subsequent to the cxpirat ion
of a reasonable time after the
company had notice of the
trouble and failed to repair it.

Conelius J. Wiggeliukheyz,n;
a German bridge carpenter who
has been working with the Pat
Dalton bridge gang, was instant
~ killed this evening by falling
under the wheels Of train No. IS
about one mile this side of
Ausley.
Wiggelinkheyzen was working
with the bridge gang putting in
a cement bridge about a mile this
side of Ansley. Ia going into
Ansley for supper on the hand
car he lost his hat and did not
stop to get it. When the freight
went through Ansley a little
after seven he caught on the
ladder of one Of the cars and
hung there. Prof. Sorenson,
the Berwyn aeroplaue man was
riding on the top of the car aud
he noticed something that re-
sembled the legs of man kick
ing out from under the cars,
near where he lost his hat,
When he got to Berwyn he tele-
phoned the information back to
Ansley.
The body was found lying on
north side of the track. The
left arm had been cut off and
had been carried quite distance,
the left leg was almost cut off at
the hip and below the knee, the
right leg was broken twice and
badly mangled below the hnee.
The skull was badly cut on the
front and back of the head and
the back was very badly bruised.
he circumstances of his death
would seem to indicate that he
fell on the north side of the train
on his face, the left arm and leg
went under the cars first aud the
other bruises followed. The left
arm was found considerable
distance from the body and some
things indicate that the body
may have been dragged twenty
or thirty feet.
Wiggelinkheyzen came TO this
country from the Netherlands,
anding at New York on June
Is, 1908. He made his declar-
alton to become a citizen on NJ
vember 2S, 1908, in Sumner
county, Kansas. He was twenty
i've years old last March. So far
IS can be learned he has no rela-
tives in the United States. He
was telegrapher in the Neither
lands and seems to have been a
we'll educated young man.

And there lies the tragedy Of most
