Oh Insulation.

Because squirrels, pets of the
town, had nibbled the insulation off
the telephone wires and bitten into
the cables 460 telephones in Hutch
inson, Kans., were out of commission
recently during a storm.
Linemen and electricians worked
all day in the storm and succeeded
in having s.ll but 125 of the phones
in operation by evening. Wherever
they had eaten the insulation from
wires or eaten into the cables the
rain caused trouble.

EUFAULA RIFLES
 STAND INSPECTION

Eufaula, March s.--(Special.)- )-The e annual inspection of the Eufaula Rifles and Second Regiment band of the city was held at the armory of the company Monday evening and the occasion drew out large gathering of citizens, in cluding a number of matrons and young women. Adjutant General Scully and Capt. M. Crowley of the Seven teenth United States infantry, sta toned at Fort McPherson reached the city during the morning and imme- diately made a thorough examination of all the paraph ernalia of both organ izations and found them in good order.
 During their visit here the inspecting officers were rendered a delightful re- past at the hands of Senator Robert H. Moulthrop at his elegantly appointed home situated on the Bluff. Both or ganizations are greatly pleased at the expressions of praise that was extended them and seem imbued with new life and yigor.
 The roof is now being placed on the new St. James Episcopal church here and the contractor hopes to have the building in readiness for worship some time during the early summer months.
 WhoopiEg cough is prevailing among some of the children of the city and every precaution is being exercised to prevent any spread of the disease.

The senate, by vote of 16 to 12, balloted to permit the concession, after safely passing the bill of MT.

 The Green bill was the special order for the afternoon in the senate, and was amended by Senator Merrill as soon as the measure was read so as to ex- tend the pass privileges to the sheriffs of the state.
