Electrically Lighted Rifles.

4 new type of army rifle IS being man
ufactured in England, which differs from
the ordinary kind in having electrically
lighted sights TO use at night. A bat
terry is fitted in the stock and serves to
light a pair of miniature electric bulbs,
placed at each side of the gun barrel, at
the extreme end. The button which
controls the electric circuit is fitted on
the trigger guard, and when the operator
presses this button the miniature lamps
serve to light the rifle sight. The lights
themselves are shielded from view. In
twilight it is often impossible to take
any aim with the ordinary rifle. BY lllu-
minating the sight in the manner indi-
Gated the shooter may aim quite accu-
rately.

PHONE COMPANY
WINS ITS POINT
PUBLIC UTILITY HAS RIGHT TO
DISCONTINUE SERVICE IF SUB
SCRIBER FAILS TO PAY.
THE BEREND CASE DECIDED.
Milwaukee Man Took $4,000 Suit to
Rate Commission, Which Dis
misses Petition.
THE BEREND CASE DECIDED.
LAW MADE CLEAR IN DECISION

MADISON, Wis, Sept 1S.-L Spe-
cial. Public utilities are entitled to
avail themselves of reasonable means to
enforce payment of bills, either requir-
ing cash deposits or securities in adj
vance. or by disconrinulng service when
bills are not paid as required by the
rules of the company.
y decision to this effect was announced
today by the railroad rate commission III
the case of Oscar j. Bercnd of Allwau-
kee against the Wisconsin Telephone
company.
This decision settles some hitherto
misunderstood features of the public util-
tiles law. 1t had been thought by some
that under this law public service cor
poratlon was compelled TO furnish serV-
Ice TO all who applied and could not cut
oil service from any consumer ON ac-
count OF non-payment of bills, but would
have to 90 to the courts to enforce pay
ment
The petitioner, Rerend, real estate
dealer, had trouble with the Wisconsin
Telephone company over the amount oil
money supposed to be in a nickel slot
telephone and refused 10 pay the tcle-
phone bill.
Demands Damages, Too.
The company discontinued the service
and Berend brought maudamus proceed
ings in the court, was defeated there ana
told to go 10 the railroad rate commits
sion, which he did, but he increased ms
demand OF merely asking resumption OF
the service to demand for damages of
$4,000.
The petition was dismissed, but impor-
tant principles were laid down i'll the de-
ciSiou. Among other things, the COM
mission refers to the fact that the pay
ment of all bills due to a utility company
is to the advantage of the entire commu-
nity as well as to the public utility.
1t also held that to require every CON
sumner to give security would be TO as
sumo that every consumer IS dishonest
and intended to escape payment, which
the commission thinks a utility company
is not compelled to assume.
Upholds La Crosse Company.
Through an adverse decision of jus
tice of the peace, the La Crosse Gas
and Electric company became fearful
that it had been for nearly two years
collecting money from consumers with
out legal authority and in order to es-
cape back payment, applied to the COM
mission for an order to sustain the right
Of the company in the question.
The decision announced today held
that the company was acting within its
right and no further order was issued.
The company was particularly fearful
for the validity of the rule for "A penalty
of 10 per cent. in the event of the fail
ure of n consumer to pay bill within
ten days after it was due

STATE FAIR ENDS
WITH A BALANCE
OFFICIALS BELIEVE A NET PROFIT
OF ABOUT $1,000 WILL BE
ATTAINED.
LAST DAY BRINGS CROWDS
Clear Skies, Taft and Children Swell
Attendance and Make Week
Success.
NEW LAND AND BARNS ARE NEXT.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept lS.-AI-
most Immediately after the closing of
the state fair of 1909, shortly after 10
o'clock Friday night, both President
George McKerrOw of the state board OF
agriculture and Secretary John NJ. True
said that the event had resulted i'll a
financial balance.
The attendance of 1909 was more than
14.OOO under that of 1908. However,
the number of passes issued, the number
of exhibitors and n variety of other mat
tiers might alter attendance figures. In
the estimation of officials the cash re
ccipts of 1909 will exceed those of last
year.
Nothing definite can be made known Of
the balance attained until an official cast
ing up Of books has been made. The
board will probably not have its financial
report ready for two weeks.
