A FORCE OF TWENTY-FIVE MEN
WILL ARRIVE THIS WEEK.

Manager Phifer of the telephone
exchange has been notified that a
force of twenty-five men will arrive
in Madison this week to commence
on the work of installing the new au-
tomato telephone system. New tele-
phone poles are in transit which will
be placed principally in the residence
districts to carry a system Of cables
which will take the place of the net
work of aerial wires now in use. The
poles will be placed in alleys in the
residence section and wires will enter
residences from the alleys instead of
from the streets as is nov generally
the case.
Conduits and other materials for
the underground system to be install
ed in the business section of the city
are also in transit and are expected
to arrive so hat the workmen will
be enabled to proceed with the work
without interruption. The excava-
tons for the conduits will be about
three feet in depth, the conduits en-
cased in cement and manholes con
structed of brick and cement install
ed at proper intervals along the lines
of the underground conduits.
1t is the purpose of the company
to complete excavations and other
ground work before freezing weather
~intervenes. The work of placing
cables and line work can be forward
ed during the winter, completing the
automatic system ready for the use
of the public early in the spring.

Two weeks of continued sunshine
will see most of the small grain in
the country tributary to Madison
threshed, in the opinion of Mayor
Geo. II. Waskey, who has made sew
eral trips into the country during the
last ten days. The mayor told that
he found farmers everywhere making
the best of the extremely favorable
weather conditions, and hat in a
large number of instances the grow
ers of small grain feel that they are
being just about fully repaid for the
time they lost on account of frequent
and long continued rains earlier in
the year. With reference to the corn
crop, the city's chief executive said
that while on the whole that grain
thrived better here this year than it
is reported to have done in northern
and western Iowa and in southern
Minnesota, he had heard of only a
very few small patches of corn that
had properly matured before it was
overtaken by the frost.

tainments, and small fee on the part
Of the colored children, a pay school
was opened for the rest of the year
with 300 pupils.
As the warmer days came on a num-
Der OF these pay pupils dropped out,
and the teachers were obliged TO also
leave for lack of pupils and funds to
pay their salary.
Three pupils at Stanton colored
school finished the work, and received
certificates passing them into the High

companied Reagle. who had a master
key. which opened nearly every door

Midshipman Karl Keller frankly ad-
mitted that he had seen and used the
papers received by Moss. He said
that he had seen the papers in Mid
shipman Moss room, copied part of
the one for his class and returned and
got IL all. Asked why he was not in
cluded in the report of the board of

no one mentioned him. He claimed
that he did not believe that the papers
Moss had were the examination pa
pers. and also said that Moss state
ments and actions indicated that he
regarded them in the same way
There are strong reasons for believ-
ing the government is not through
with Reagle, as witness, and that
there are hopes that fuller informa-
tion as to matters important to the
inquiry will vet be developed through
him. Reagle and his roommate, Hop

the fact that there is a contest Tor the

suit of the election should be known
early The greatest interest in to-
days primary centers in the result in
theThird ward where there is q quar-
tette of candidates for the two alder.
manic nominations. although the fight
between Messrs. Winson c. Gott and
George E. Rulman. for the counsel
orship nomination attracts wide i'm

The result of the primary viii, IN q
large measure, be a test of the
strength of the divided party that is,
between the organization forces and
the wing known as the Progressive
Democrats, organization of which
was effected several years ago
Mr. Gott. for Counselor. has all
olong been affiliated with the Pro-
gresives. and so was his opponent.
