An expenditure of more than S10,-

upon last night at a meeting of the
board of direGors. of the Citizens
Telephone company. The principal
expenditure will be for new switch.
board, which is. called the "distribut.
ing system" The special advantage
of the board is its secret service
feature, which makes it impossible
for the operator to hear the CONVEX
sation between parties connected. Az
ter the operator completes the con.
nection she cannot hear any further
conversation. With the distributing
feature OF the board the calls are
allotted equallyl over the board so
that the operators handle one call
at a time and therefore give quicker
and more efficient service.
The switchboard also has automatic
ringing apparatus. and the bells will
ring intermittenty until the subscrib-
er answers the phone, or until a
signal tells the operator that the
New Party Line.
A new party line system will also
be installed, which will have a
system of ringing so that the people
on the line will not hear the other
rings on the line. Each phone on
the line will ring selectiyely.
Additional farmer line equipment
will be put in which will greatly in
crease the efficiency of that service
There will be two operators on the
farmer line during the busy periods
and the selective ringing feature will
be used on those lines also.

At the present time the office is
handling about 10000 calls daily

From Tuesdays Daily.

An overcrowded condition of the
street at the corner of Front and
Liberty caused an automobile acct
dent last evening, and while it did
not terminate in serious way it
nearly cost the life of Harold Shaver
the five year old son of William SHAY
er who lives in the fiat over the
Keith C Grupe lumber office on
Liberty street, The little boy and
his brother had been over to store
on the east side of the street and had
started back, when he became con-
fused by the travel. Seeing an
opening beyond team of horses that
was standing at right angles to
Front street he started to go that
way but found that passage blocked
and started to return. He evidently
took it for granted that the return
passage would still be clear and that
there could be no danger in going
back.
While he had been making this
short trip r. c. Hammett's five pas
senger machine going down Front
street on the right sidehof the street,
started to circle out around the team.
When Mr.. Hammett started to go
around that way it seemed perfectly
safe, but about the time that the
machine came to the place where the
horses stood Mr.. Hammett suddenly
saw the boy about four feet away. Al
though the machine was going slow at
the time it was too late TO stop and
the front wheel passed over the
child Mr.. Hammett swung the ma,
chine sharply to one side in hopes OF
missing the child with rear wheel and
when seen this morning he said that
he thought that he succeeded in his
purpose.
A spectator who saw the accident
said this morning that the rear wheel
as we'll as the front passed over the
child The automobile did not knock
the child over. In the bewilderment
of the situation the child tripped
and FELL Mr.. Hammett said that in
passing the team he ciIcled fa1
enough so that he left ample space
for any one to get past and as soon
as he knew that he was past the child
he applied the brakes and brought
the machine to standstill
+ The child was Immediately taken
to the office of DR.. J. w. Andrews
where it was found that no bones
were broken. the machine having
passed over the pevic region This
morning the child had not developed
any serious signs of internal trouble
but did complain of slight pains in
the stomach.
