Telephone Troubles.

From report of the engineering
staff of the railroad commission regard
ing existing rural lines in the vicinity
of Mineral Point: when the plant was
new the construction may have been
good, but when it is older it becomes so
poor that it is surprising that any con-
versation can be satisfactorily carried
on. However, the hardest thing to do
is to get the party on the line because
it is very difficult to ring through 10
bells and is almost impossible when a
receiver is down. The ringing current
divides at every bell, at every receiver,
at every limb of tree which touches
the wire, at every point where the wire
has any contact Where the wires are
tied together loosely more resistance is
offered to the current than the addition
of several miles of wire. The leakage
of current through the bells and to
ground because of poor insulation, the
increased resistance due to unsOldered
Joints and the induction which cannot
be avoided in grounded line, all tend
to decrease the efficiency of the tele-
phone and make it very disagreeable for
all concerned.

When about two miles from their
destination the back seat upon which
Miss Prince We're sitting slipped from
its fastenings and the two girls were
thrown to the hard road. Miss Prince
striking on the back of her neck. 1t
was seen by other members of the par
ty that Miss Prince was injured and
they rushed to her assistance. The in
jured woman was unable to move and
help was obtained from a nearby farm
house. A carpet was secured and this
was fastened in the wagon like ham
mock, and in this manner the injured
woman was conveyed to the Comstock
farm.
"Drs. Catlin and E. H. Weld were
Immediately called and did everything
possible to relieve the suffering of Miss
Prince.
Miss Prince remained conscious all
the time. Upon going to the farm on
July 8, in answer to a summons, DR..
Weld found that Miss Prince was very
much worse and he stated that beyond
a doubt the spinal column was fractured.

The death of Miss Prince was a
severe blow to her father. brothers and
sisters The mother passed away last

been employed as stenographer and
bookkeeper for the telephone company

their great sorrow. The body was
brought to this city. and the burial was

THE FOURTH AT PENIEI
A Large Assemblage of People Well
Entertained.

The celebration of Independence day
at Peniel church in the Welsh settle

every way. The day was tine and peo-
pie from many miles around came to-
gether to celebrate the day and for a
social reunion. The exercises were
held in pleasant grove on the farm OF
Theodore Engels, near the church.
The good pastor Rev. George Griffith,
who for many years has proved to be
a power for good in this important
community, was president of the day
The orator was George w. Watson of
New Diggings, and he delivered a
patriotic and interesting address. AT
the outset he told what the boys would
call bunch of good, stories and told
them we'll. He soon launched into an
earnest speech, full of good points and
hopeful and progressive in spirit the
speech of citizen loyal to the nation
and loyal as we'll to the good state of
Wisconsin.
The Mineral Point High School band
furnished music, and there was good
singing.
A very important part of the pro-
gram of entertainment was rendered
by company of faithful soldiers of the
Salvation Army, who are doing good
work in Iowa and Lafayette couuties.
1t was apparent from the friendliness
and hospitality of the large number of
people in attendance that to exemplify
the spirit of true sociability is the fixed
habit of their lives.
There was a very fine evening pro-
gram, which included an address by
Benjamin Gibbon of Rewey.
