RINGING THEATRE.
A FINE MEMORIAL
%. D. Brandenburg in Madison
Democrat.)

A packed enthusiastic, radiant house,
gaily gowned, spirited and festive,
made merry the formal opening of the
AL. Ringing theatre, beautiful, artis-
tic structure, erected more in the ma
ture of q memorial than in the hope
that it might prove successful in a COM
mercial sense. Every seat was occupi-
ed-every seat was gone within four
hours after the sale commenced some
| days ago, and hundreds upon hundreds of
persons were forced to fOrego the
pleasure Of being present at the pre-
mier. It was handsome, dressy assem-
blage, far surprising anything ever be-
fore seen in that city, with opera cloaks
numerous and flowers galore. Neighbor-
| ing cities were we'll represented Nadi-
son. Reedsburg, Kilbourn, Portage,
Sank, Prairie du Sac, North Freedom.
Governor Philip, on special invita-
ton of AL. Ringing, was given the
place of honor, the right mezzanine
proscenium box, and was the receipt
ent of an ovation. With him in the box
were Mrs Josephine Melzl. his sister,
| and her son and his wife. Mr.. and Mrs.
A. w. Melzl.
Governor Philip received great ap-
plause when he came in and took his
box, accompanied by his party. After
the opera, he was called upon by the
audience for speech and he spoke
gracefully from his place in the box on
the advantages of such theatre to
to Baraboo, commencing Mr. Ringing
for the building of it.
All CT the brothers of Mr.. Ringing
were present except John, who is in
New York, his place of residence. ALT.
T. Ringing came from New York and
Carries from Chicago.
AL Ringing, eldest of the famous
circusmen, and confessedly Baraboo's
foremost citizen, was showered with
compliments and congratulations on all
possible occasions. His wife shared in
the attentions lavished. The theater
has cost him upwards of 500, 600 and ia
gem, with 1000 capacity, no gallery
but only parquet and a semi-circle of
mezzanine boxes, some seventeen in
number. 1t is finished in gold and sub
dued tones; a series of graceful painted
panels grace the ceiling; there is
wandrous pipe organ, akin to complete
orchestra; and stage of unusually
commodious nature. The theater is on
the site of the old Wisconsin house.
popular German hostelry for many
years, and in the same block as the two
leading hotels. Mr.. Ringling's palatial
house is just round the corner.

RELIEVES THE WuRST
CASES OF CATARRH
Think ..tyomei the Host Wonderful
Treatment"

10 not try to cure catarrh by using
sprays or lotions; it cannot be cured in
that manner. The only way in which
THIS too common disease can be fully
relieved Is through direct application
to the affected parts that will kill the
bacilli of catarrh and prevent their
growth.
Breathing the air of Hyomei is the
only known method of treatment that
can really accomplish this. It is the
simplest, most pleasant and probably
the most reliable treatment for catarrh
that has ever been discovered
The complete Hyomei outfit is mex
pensive and consists of an inhaler, drop
per and sufficient Hyomei to last
several weeks. This will effect instant
relief in ordinary cases, but for chronic
and deep-seated cases of catarrh, longer
use may be necessary, and then an
extra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained
for trihing sum. 1t is not alone the
best tit might be called the only
method of treating catarrh, but it is
also the most economical.
Fisher Bros. have so much confidence
in the power of Hyomei to relieve ca
tarrh, that they will for limited time,
sell this medicine under their personal
guarantee to refund the money if the
purchaser can say that it did not bene-
fit.-Adv.

The Larger the
Exchange the Greater
the Cost

the Cost
In considering the various costs to construction
and operation is the practice to consider the different
plant elements units and finally applying them to the
telephones connected to the switchboard This is done
because is obviously impossible determine the actual
cost Of each individual telephone and the equipment that
enters into the construction of each line and when we
say that the telephones in Great Bend 500 per ee
phone do not that each individual telephone and
its connections including the switchboard and cable cost
this amount but that the exchange as it stands is worth
SSlOO, and We have Sl5 subscribers in town that are
connected to the exchange. Hereafter the advertisements
dealing with this plant will treat the various items in
this way.
A FEW THING TO CONSIDER
We all know that a suit dress, pair of Shoes in
fact anything made order costs more to produce than
when made in large quantities by factories and naturally
the more you buy of any given commodity the more you
pay.
This same axiom applies to telephone Service-the
greater the number of subscribers connected to tee-
phone exchange the more you use your telephone and
each call receives the attention of one or more operators
An operators ability to put connections has its mta-
Ons the any other work. An operator can take
of limited number of calls per telephone per day.
An exchange with 500 subscribers may put up an
average of calls per telephone in "a hours while an ex
change with 1900 subscribers will average fifty per cent
calls per telephone than the 500 exchange. The
operators the 5OOSubScrber exchange will handle the
number of calls per hour will the operator at the
12OO-SubScriber exchange hence is obvious that will
take 30 cent operators per subscriber to take
of the work presented the 2OOexchange thereby
increasing the operating cost per telephone by so per
cnt.
Another item which increases the cost in larger ex-
changes the increased cost per telephone modern
common battery, lamp signal multiple switch board such
as we have in Great Bend costs easily twice as much per
telephone does magnetic switchboard which will take
care of 200 TO 500 subscribers
In town with ultimate requirements of 500 sub
ScberS the average length of wire necessary TO connect
The telephone to the switchboard will average onehaf
as much as in town with ultimate capacity of 1000
subscribers for the that the larger the town the
greater The distance TO the exchange from The residence
TIL cost per station for the outside construction is
also greater the cost per construction unit is greater
than for the lighter construction instance 25-foot
pole costs twice much the cars at Great Bend as
does 2OfOOt pole and 4Ofool pole costs over five
times much as a 2O-foot pole.
Underground construction cost per telephone is
easily twice much per telephone is aerial and other
costs for high class modern construction are easily twice
great The lighter construction that will accommodate
smaller exchange.
