AUTO phone
SETTLED FACT THAT A SYSTEM
WILL BE INSTALLED IN
MADISON.

The matter of an automatic tele-
phone system for Madison is a settled
fact. For a year or two the officials
of the Dakota Central company have
been DESTROYS of installing an auto
system here, but there has been some
hesitancy on the part of our citizens
taking on the new device OF account
of somewhat higher toll. Finally a
petition was circulated among BUSH
ness men and residents asking that
the system be installed and the paper
was signed by over 500 patrons. The
company will 500 proceed to erect a
two-story brick building in East Fifth
street for the use of the exchange,
plans for which are now being pre-
pared by a st. Paul architect. The
system now in use will be entirely
removed. The district bounded by
Lee avenue on the east to Blanche
venue on the west and Sixth street
on the north to Second street on the
south, will be provided with under
ground cables and all aerial wires
and poles removed. In the residence
districts the poles will be removed
from the streets and placed in the
alleys and wires will enter residences
from the alleys instead of from the
streets as at present. Cables will be
used throughout the residence sec
tions and the network of aerial wires
now in use will be thrown on the
scrap heap. All wires entering resi-
dences will be insulated the same as
electric wires now in use. The i'm
provement will greatly add to the
beauty of the city by the removal of
many poles and the manifold aerial
wires which are exposed and which
will be substituted by cables.

Mr.. and Mrs. Nevins at the Lake
Park, is picking up acquaintance with
Madison people by her agreeable
manner. She states that while Mad
ison is somewhat smaller than New
York city, she is very ~agreeably sur
prised with the thrift of the city and
its beautiful surroundings, and what
is more agreeable, she likes the peo-
pie.
1t is reported that in neighboring
towns and cities INSCRIPTIONS sales
men for a set of books are using the
parents-teachers' circle as a mean
of increasing their sales, claiming
that a set of the books is required for
membership in the circle. Officers
of the parent-teachers' association
which has a membership in most
towns and cities of the state say that
no such books are required, and peo-
pie should be on the lookout for the
agents when they show up in the city.
A safe and effective weapon
against the typhoid or house fly has
been found in powdered hellebore by
the scientists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, according to
bulletins from Washington. Flies lay
their eggs chiefly in stable manure.
Powdered hellebore mixed with water
and ~sprinkled over the manure, will
destroy the larvae which are Matched
from the eggs. Since powdered he'll
lebore is readily o~btainable, this puts
in the hands of everyone a remedy
for one of the pests that has been
found dangerous as well as trouble
some. Powdered hellebore, however,
will not kill adult flies which must
be swatted or trapped.

ANNOUNCEMENT.
To the Public:

~ the IuUllc.
This is to certify that Ar. Dale p.
Osborn has completed a pre- scribed
course, preparatory TO teaching sing
ing, at the Hinshaw Conservatory of
Music, and that he is thoroughly
equipped to impart the best of knowl-
edge to any who wish 10 study voice
placement and singing.
Mr.. Osborn's progr ass has been
very rapid and his work has been of
a very satisfactory character. He has
sung many times during tn past sea
son in Chicago and always with great
success. His own voice Is beauti-
fully placed and under splendid con-
troll. and his artistic sense is very
keen.
"Mr. Osborn is a young man of high
ideals and exemplary character, and
anyone wishing TO study singing
could not do better than to enroll in
his class. His work will more than
verify every statement made.
Sincerely,
"Hinshaw Conservatory.

Mental suggestion is used to calm
the mind of the singer, to enable him
to cast aside artificial habits of con-
tracing the muscles, forcing the
breath, etc, TO produce nigh tones.
This new discovery makes singing
almost entirely a mental, instead of
physical training. Singing by the
new method is as simple as talking.
