The Waukon telephone exchange is
to be rebuilt at once, as promised by
the parties who have bought the con-
trolling interest in the Standard Tele-
phone Company. Supt. Orr received
orders to that effect Saturday, and no
one is more pleased than he, for he
has fully realized that the patience
of the patrons here has been con-
siderably taxed for some time past
by the inferior and overloaded
equipment.
Plans are now being drawn for the
new improvements which will result
in complete overhauling of the sys-
tenn from one end of town to the
other. BY the erection of new and
slightly poles, the use of cable, and
complete separation from the cleo
trio power system, the local exchange
will be made up-to-date in all par
ticulars. Supt. Orr will have the
able assistance of Manager Moran of
the DEBORAH exchange in the recon-
struction work which will be COM
as soon as the material can
be shipped in. New and enlarged
quarters will also be fitted up for
the central" and for other require
ments.-Waukon Democrat.

The following is Billy Sundays
last prayer at Ottumwa. 1t is
unique in its way, though by some
it might be considered a little pro-

had finished his evangelistic work
but had come back for one more
meeting. At this meeting he ut

The Boy THAT Loafs.

vinton Times: A vinton boy re-
Gently informed the editor of the
Times that he had rather loaf than
work for less than five dollars a
week. Now that boy may possess
the germs of success in his make
up, but the chances are that he does
not.
The boy that would rather loaf
than work for less than five dollars
or even three dollars week is lack
ing in purpose. His aim in life is
too low. He ought to raise the sight
on his gun. The most insignificant
salary may mean the stepping stone
to a great future. Where the boy
has living at home the salary he
starts in at ought to have no weight
whatever. The time was when boys
spent years learning a trade, only
to be paid most insignificant sal
airy after the first or second year.
Now the boy who thinks he wants
to learn an honest vocation must at
least have five dollars a week, no
matter how useless he may be to
his employer.
Employers are not looking for
salary seekers,-what they want is
workers. The average employer is
not averse to paying for services
rendered If those services are as his
business demands. The average
employer had rather pay a man
a larger salary than a small one
if his employe has the training and
the willingness to do the work re-
Quired of him and the ability to
make his efforts a source of profit.
There are of course situations where
a man cannot in the very nature
of things increase his employers
profits, but he can save waste, avoid
accidents and in other
ways make the value of his service
felt, and for such a man there is
always a job. He may at times
find himself in the employ of men
who do not fully appreciate his SER
vices, but such cases are the ex-
ception rather than the rule.
The first thing for boy to do who
would be successful is to have a
purpose in life. He should lose
sight of salary and present condi-
tions and forget that his duties are
at times irksome, and always keep
his eyes fixed on the star that in
fuences a good life and urges him
ON to successful efforts.

Not Having a Chance.

Pulitzer, the publisher of the New
York World who has been in the
lime light because of the big stick
in the hands of the President, has a
most remarkable history He came
to this country from Germany a
waif. Not having a cent upon his
person and being dressed in tatters
it was impossible for him to land
in America without having to run
the gauntlet of the inspectors with
the strong probability that he would
be returned to his native country at
the expense of the ship that brought
him over. He had managed to work
his way across the ocean by helping
the ships crew in various ways. In
order to hake sure of safe landing,
he stripped himself of all his clothes
and when the ship anchored in New
York harbor he plunged overheard
and made for the Long Island shore.
He was good swimmer and reach
ed the land in safety. Some fisher
men picked him up but could not
understand the German language so
that all they understood was that
the young STRIPPING would like to
have some clothing and this was fur
nished him. And this is the several
times millionaire Joseph Pulitzer,
owner and publisher of one of the
greatest newspapers in the world

Dam Effects the Stage of Water.

Farmers along the Iowa river are
complaining of the high stage of

That reminds us of an amusing in
cident that happened the day the con-
crete dam near the Anundsen cabin
went out. 1t was beautiful Sunday
morning, tie sun shining brightly.
the air warm and balmy, and two
enthusiastic fishermen living several
miles below the dam went down to
the river to fish. They took their
dinner and other things along, and
were having a bully time. They got
out onto a nice little island in the
center of the river, and were having
the time of their lives, when sud-
denly the water came up about them,
washing away their lunch and other
things, and before they could realize
it, the water was up to their waists.
Frightened almost out of their boots,
they finally made their way to safety,
and to this day, they have never gone
fishing again on Sunday.

Ada, Okla, April 19.-Jesse West,
Joe Allen, B. B. Borwell and J. B.
Miller, cattlemen from Canadian,
Texas, were lynched here at o'clock
this morning. All of the men were
reputedly rich, and at least one of
them is rated as a millionaire.
After .overpowering the jailer mob
of one hundred masked men removed
the men from Jail and took them to a
barn in the rear of the jail, where
they were hung to the rafters. The
men were being held for the alleged
murder of United States Marshal A.
A. Bobbitt, who, it is claimed, was
killed as the result of an old grudge.
1t is alleged that Miller was employed
by the others to kill the marshal.
Oscar Beeler, boy, who was also
implicated in the killing of the mar
shall, was dealt with leniently by the
mob after he had made clean breast
of the killing. The men had been in
Jail for the past month, and were
given preliminary hearing last
Thursday. All is quiet today, the mob
having dispersed quietly after the
lynching.

lowing liberal expenditure. He also
declared that the expenditures of the
government could be materially re-

be given a trial before resorting to
special taxation. He said there were
periods of extravaganza in the life of
all nations when public money was
scattered broadcast, and often without
reference to results. He said he ex-
pected to see a radical reform in this
direction.
