Building in Moberly.

E. d. Graham, who owns the
telephone system in Moberly as
well as in Lexington, is putting
in the most extensive improve
mcnts in the former town. A
handsome $4,000 building for
the exclusive use of the telephone
exchange is nearing completion.
This building is of vitrified
brick and reinforced concrete.
Even the window castings are OF
iron, so that the structure is just
about absolutely fireproof. In
the basement will be the charg-
ing room, the battery room,
The furnace and a large space
for storing the paraphernalia of
the linemen. On the first floor
Will be DIR. Graham 0I1lce, tne
general office and the switch
boards. The second story will
contain lavatories, rest rooms
and reading rooms for the opera
tors.
The equipment in the exchange
will be renewed entirely, and
az the poles on the three prin-
cipal streets will come down
while the cables will be phi
underground. This shows that
DR. Graham is willing to give
lis patrons the best of service
and will make improvements as
fast as the business will justify
them.

A WOMAN IN TIIE SENATE.

There is yet an untitled scat in the

Democrat has been able to secure tho

of tho most prominent sunragsts in
the nation. Mrs. Decker Is an ex-pres-
idcnt of the Federation of Women's
Clubs. a woman who has always stood
for progress and uplift In American
life. Leader OF women of strong In
tellect and vigorous ideals. She is n
candidate for the Senate, and the news
comes from Denver that her candidacy
is serious. and that she may he elected.
II must lie admitted that the en-
trance OF Senator Decker into the
higher branch OF the national legisla-
ture would shock the old-timers. II
would be the last straw for old Uncle
Shelby Cullom. However, 1t would be
impossible for her to shock Penrosc.
