posed new company, entirely in their
own hands.
B. d. Templeman, however, his
successors Or assigns, shall receive
an amount equal to ten percent OF
the gross earnings, each year, after
all expenses have been paid. He
having required certain number of
subscribers before the construction OF
the system, will know accurately the
minimum resources; and if he knows
the amount OF expenses, knows IL
he can afford to furnish the bond
mentioned above. For these same
reasons the subscribers can tell, at
the beginning of the year, approx
mately the actual cost Of the SER
vice to each subscriber. In addition,
if certain number of subscribers to
the proposed new company are Sc
cured there will be but one tele-
phone system in Sank Centre.
1t will be decided, at a meeting
called for the purpose, what kind OF
equipment shall be installed, though
no doubt the common batter Or cen
trail energy system will be used.
The government of the company
will always be vested in the sub
scribers.
The maximum cost of the service
can be no more than One-half Of the
proposed rate to be paid to the old
company, no matter what the actual
cost is. The company will be pro-
tected by a bond.
The kind of equipment and SER
vice to be installed is to be decided
by the subscribers.
Subscribers will be furnished sat-
isfactCry long distance service di-
rect.
There will be no business of i'm
portance transacted until stock is
sold, and then, at meeting called for
that purchase, all questions will be
settled by majority vote of the
stockholders, who shall have but one
vote each.

June q, 1910
By the Members of the
FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
Sank Centre, Mimi.
That Mr.. Caughren values the gift
highly goes without saying. He full
ly appreciates the kindly feeling and
good wishes that go with it, and
asks The Herald to publish the fol-
lowing card:
Il thank the many good friends of
the First Congregational church of
Sank Centre for this token of love
l call you friends because there are
friends that stick closer than a bro
thar | know that you are my friends
because many of you have been tried
and not found wanting.
Il thought | had received all that
was my due at the dedication of the
church, having experienced the salts
faction of seeing so many happy and
satisfied people at the services. If
with Gods help, have done any
thing to help along the work Of the
church, l am glad of it.
81 have had my home in Sank
Centre for more than thirty years,
and during that time have lived here
but two years; the rest of the time
has be:n spent on the western noun
tains and plains. The two years
spent at home was mostly on a sick
bed and most of that time at deaths
door. My first sick spell was TWEEN
ty years ago and then it was that
learned to know and love the people
OF the Congregational church of
Sank Centre. 1 think the happiest
days of my life were on the sick
bed, made so by the kind acts and
words of the people of Sank Centre.
Among those who made regular
visits were Mrs. J. H. Simonton, Mrs.
Emma Tobey, Mrs. Sol Pendergast,
Mrs. Alexander Moore, Mrs. P. Lamb
Mrs. Lockwood, Mrs. Fisher, Mrs.
John Collins, Mrs. Jas: A. Norris, Mrs
Byron Carr and the members of the
Odd Fellows lodge. Mrs. Simonton
was the first person who ever spoke
to me about my salvation or of CIV
ing myself to the Lord. l do not
think there have been many days
since that 1 have not thought of her
and thanked God for her kind and
encouraging words. My interest in
the Congregational church dates from
that time.

THE GUNDfRSON BILL
Outline of the Proposition on
Which County OptionistS
Will Make Fight

County optionists will make their
fight in the legislature next whit +
with practically the same bill as they
introduced and worked for at the
last session. The former bill was
rather hastily drawn by Senator c.
J. Gunderson, Of Alexandria, and it
was thought that for another session
it would be necessary to draw new
bill, but officers of the Anti-Saloon
league say that the Gunderson bill
has been closely examined, both by
the Minnesota eaders and by experts
from other states, and they pro-
nounce it just about right.
The Gunderson bill provides for
submission of the license question in
airy county on petition signed by
% per cent of the legal voters. At
the election, the voters declare for
license" or for mo license" If
license carries, then conditions are
just the same as they are now. Viii
lagos have the right to license sal
oons, but are not compelled to do so,
the voters of each village having the
right to decide for that village. But
if the county goes dry" no license
may be issued in the county for at
least three years. No matter which
way the vote goes in a county the
license question may not be submit
ted again for three years, and then
only on the same kind of a petition,
with % per cent of the voters as
signers.

.|NQU|S|TORS TURN
ON DEAD OFFICIAL
Ira RaWn'S Name introduced in
Case of Illinois Central
Fraud Charges
ASSOCIATED Press)

CHICAGO, Aug 26.-Attorneys for
three former high officials of the IL
linois Central railroad, Frank b. Har-
riman, former general manager; John
w. Taylor, storekeeper, and Charles
L. Ewing, superintendent of lines north
of the Ohio river, received a setback
on the first day of their criminal trial
today when Judge Bruggemeyer re-
fused them a bill of particulars, or a
change of venue.
The men are charged with partici-
pating in frauds by which the rail-
road is alleged to have been mulcted
of more than $1,O00,000 through inflat-
ed car repair bills.
Despite objections by attorneys for
the defense, the names of Ira G. Rawn,
former president of the Monon route,
who met death recently by bullet
wound; j. E. Buker and William Rem
shaw, former superintendent of ma
chinery of the Illinois Central were
brought into the case in the testi-
mony of Theophile Reuther, formerly
general manager of the Osterman Car
company and now employed as a To-
comotive engineer on the Illinois Cen
trail road.
Reuther testified to the organization
of the Osterman Car company, a con-
Germ to which cars were sent for re
pairs. He declared he had been GUST
ed from his position as general mama
ger and director that John NJ. Tay-
Tor, one of the defendants, might be
made director.
He related a conversation Osterman
had held with him, in which Osterman
told of having given Taylor 1000 shares
in the company, adding he would pre-
sent a similar block to Ira G. Rawn, at
that time vice president of the road,
and to Frank B. Hartman, E. j. Bu-
ker and to William Renshaw. Reuther
continued as follows:
"One day was walking through the
yards with Osterman when we came
upon a huge pile of lumber. He point
ed to it and said: How much do you
thinuk that pile Of lumber is worth?,
Reuther?' 1 told him I did not know
and asked him where he expected to
get the money to pay for it.
"He replied that the lumber was
worth at least $4,000. and said he
would get the money to pay for 1t. A
while later he came upon many tiers
of brass journals and other brass car
parts. He said: There is some easy
money
"I said he had better look out for
that easy money business, or he would
get into trouble. Osterman replied:
'Oh, Taylor will take care Of that "

ELECTIONS CAUSE
RIOTS IN LISBON
Reports to Paris Say Republicans
Well Armed for Conflict
in Portugal
Especial to The Herald

PARIS, Aug 27.-Advices received
early this morning from Lisbon, by
courier, via Evora to Badajoz, Spain,
state that rioting anticipated on ac-
count of the elections to be held Sun
day, started last night in Lisbon and
Oporto and that troops have been
called out to suppress the disorders,
but, on account of the fears of the
officers in command that the troops are
more loyal to the Republicans than
to the monarchy, no vigorous steps
have been taken against the rioters.
The messages declare the Republi-
can factions appear to be we'll armed
despite the seizures made recently
when troops, loyal to the royal house,
made search through the homes of the
avowed Republican leaders and 1T is
supposed that the new supplies of
arms and ammunition have been
smuggled across the border from Spain
within the last few days.
The duke Of Oporto, heir apparent
to the throne of Manuel, the boy
king, Is reported to have gone into
hiding fearing the violence of the
more radical of the Republicans. No
mention is made in the dispatches of
the appearance of the organized regi-
ments which the Republicans are re-
ported to have formed
The government has been greatly
disturbed on account of the prepara-
tions which the Republican factions
have made for the Sunday elections
and in each of the districts prominent
men, including even officers of the
army and navy, oppose each other as
candidates to the law-making body.
The situation is made more compll-
Gated by the trouble which has just
broken with full violence with the
church, by the declaration by the gov
ernment that Manager Tonti, papal
nuncio at Lisbon, was Objectionable.
The semi-official communication said
that the Portuguese charge de'affaires
to the Vatican had explained the situ-
alton to the pope Despite the silence
of the government it is understood
that the trouble between it and Mgr.
Tonti had it's origin in the cam
paign of the clericals following the
governments censuring Of the arch.
bishop of Braga for suppressing q
Portuguese Franciscan newspaper
without submitting the order to the
Portuguese government for approval
and because of the alleged action of
the Vatican in placing difficulties in
the way of the appointment of an
ambassador to the Vatican.

FAIL TO, PROSECUTE FISH
FOR BREAKING GAME LAW
Chef of Magnate Serves Quail
Out of Season

ALBANY, N. Y. Aug. 26.-The fact
that Stuyvesant Fish's French cook
served quail out of season at a dinner
given in New York by Mrs. Fish, Feb
ruary IL, 1907, and the failure of the
forest, fish and game commission to
prosecute Mr.. Fish for alleged viola
tion of the game laws, are being made
subjects of inquiry by Commissioners
Clark and Austin, who are conducting
an investigation into the affairs of the
fish and game commission.
The incident led to an unpleasant
interview between Zelah B. Strong, as
sistant federal district attorney of
Brooklyn, who was representing the
department of New York at the time,
and John K Ward, chief counsel for
the commission, Strong having inti-
mated that outside influences were
being exerted in the settlement Of
cases by the department.
Mr.. Ward, who was on the stand,
told the commissioners he thought the
Fish episode IAN innocent ipfraction
of the law" and that while/he may
havo erred, he did not believe 1t was
the duty of a self-respecting depart
ment to prosecute such technical vio-
lations.
