Newton Phone War Ended.

Newton.-A compromise measure
adopted at a special session Of the
city council ended the telephone war
that has been in progress here since
the Jasper County Telephone COM
pany announced early in the spring
that increased rates would go into
effect July /. The compromise pro-
vides that the company shall operate
under it's present franchise until its
expiration April l, 1911, and that the
following schedule of rates shall be
maintained for the next three years,
Private residence lines, $1.25; all
party lines, $1.00; Offices, $2.25; bust
ness houses, $3.50
These rates are higher than those
provided for under the present fran
chise, but lower than those the com
pany has been attempting to enforce
since the first of July.
When the company announced it
would operate under the Iowa fran
chise in order to enforce the new
rates, the city began injunction pro-
ceedings in the district court, but was
checked by counter action by the
company in federal court.
The city then began casting about
for q compromise and the action TAX
en- Monday was the result.

Oxfcrd.--J. J. McCue, an attorney
Of this city, was badly beaten by Lem.
on Fleuzuer and afterward hanged In
effigy by mob of Infatuated citizens
on the principal street.
The provocation for the attack on

husband and the spectators deemed
improper.
Immediately after a recess was
taken, Fleuzuer attempted to strike
McCue in open court, but was pre-
vented BY friends. Later the two met
on a street corner and Fluezuer
struck McCue several times. The
crowd which gathered there took up
a collection to pay Fleuzuer's fine, and
on the principal street burned McCue
in effigy. On banner suspended
over the figure were these words:
