is TO INCREASED RATEs.

II Is stock argument of those
who oppose making the electrical
company place its wires underground
that the improvement will mean ex-
pense to the company ana therefore
a proportionate increase in local
rates.
There is nothing to the charge for
the reason that the rates are stin too
high even with the announced re-
duction and for the reason that the

ness section will Increase the electric
company's revenue from cluster
lights.
Supposing it should cost the cleo
tric company $4,000 to ground its
wires in the business section. The
company can secure money at five
per cent and five per cent interest
upon $4,000 amounts to $500 a year.
With cluster lights installed at
regular intervals on Main and Court
streets the electric company would
easily secure interest on its increase d
investment from its charges for clus-
ter lights. 1t is getting more than
that sum for the cluster lights now
il use and it is not earning the mon
ey. The cluster lights are a farce
and will be as long as the unsightly
poles remain.
There is no sound reason for wor-
rying over the danger of increased
rates. There will be no need of an
increase in rates. Should such an in
crease be ordered as a matter of
punishment We will be able to get
redress through the state public SER
vice commission which will have the
power 70 regulate the rates and the
service OF this corporation.

These are some Of the things a boy

He can shout 50 loud the air turns
blue;
He can make all sounds of beast and

And a thousand more they never

He can crow or cackle. chirp or cluck
TIL he fools the rooster, hen or

He can mock the dog or lamb or COW
And the cat herself can't beat his

He has sounds that are ruffled, strip

He can thunder by like a railway
train,
stop at the stations a breath. and then
Apply the steam and be off again.
He has all Of his powers in such
command,
He can turn right into a full brass

In the last he walked three men
straight and after giving the trio of
compliments he allowed hit, which
brought in the lone run of the Hills

The imported catcher named Doss

very cleverly. His work at the bat was

SEVEN MANAGERS
MAY GO this YEAR


New York, July 1.-THE remarkable
shifting of managers in the major
leagues two or three years ago is likely
to be outdone at the end of the pres
ent season, when no less than seven
skippers of unfortunate second divi-
sions outfits viii be asked to show
cause why they should not be sup
planted. Disappointed club owners
are already beginning to plan next
years teams, and at least the man
ayers have already made up their
minds to resign.
This is Jim McAleer's last season as
major league manager. Although he
is drawing $4,000 a year in Washing
ton and his contract does not expire
until after the season of 1912. McAleer
is disguised over affairs in washington
and will get out. The Washington club
runs along with no business manage
ment or STAFF OF scouts, such as other
clubs employ, and McAleer consequent
ly finds himself stuck with team of
veterans. He is wealthy and intends
TO buy a minor league club; in fact,
he has already started negotiations.

stick In Cincinnati, the way things are
going there. Grif registered failure

FRANK GOTCH
HARD AT WORK

Humbolt, Ia, July 17.-Frank Gotch
is going to be at his very best when
he enters the ring with Hackenschmidt
for the championship of the world. For
two weeks now he has been working
faithfully and his training quarters
are nearly as popular as were those
OF Jeffries or Johnson before the white
mans hope went glimmering. He is
watched In his workouts by a large
number of people. He seems to be
devoting a great deal Of time to con-
ditioning his legs, and 1t is an every
day exercise to take sprint of eight
to ten miles.
Gotch is quiet, unassuming man.

he Is very confident that he will re-

Of Iowa and as a resident of Humboldt
he is fairly idoIized He says but lit
tie of the approaching contest and he
will step out upon the mat with as
little concern as If he were going To
wrestle Farmer" Burns or some OF
the old-timers he has met and van
quished.
However, he is not undertaking the
ability of Hackenschmidt. He realizes
fun we'll that he is going up against
the best man that can be pitted against
him, but he believes that he will out
general him, in the long run. Gotch
looks to see the battle pretty well
drawn out, and for that reason he Is
fitting himself for endurance. So far
as he is able there will be no defect
in his condition when he meets Hack
enschmidt. He confidently expects to
be in the best condition he has ever
been in entering ring. All the money
Humboldt has now or can borrow be-
tween this time and the date of the
event will be placed on Gotch-even

it must be.
