will do this .to out down expenses. The
Order of Railroad Telegraphers, in or
ganizing and forcing an increase of
salary the past year, greatly increased
expenses in the aggregate. And if the
company cuts out the telegraph busi
ness at numerous stations, it will not
be dealing with its station agents as
telegraphers,' and can make reductions
in salaries without gettiilg into a con
troversy.

New Telephone in Opera
tion.
Several business blocks are now in
communication with each other through
the new telephone and all connections
will be made in a few days. The sys
tem is absolutely tfee best in the world,
resulting in minimum expense of opera
tion and ^Maintenance with the very
best service possible. There will be no
trouble from atmospheric conditions,
no ringing sounds, no cross wires, no
•rumbling indistinct words. There is
no necessity to ring up central as under
the antiquated systems. Just take your
receiver off the hook and central is
notified at once by the shining of a
..small red light. You notify central
as^at connection you wish and when
th&other party takes down.iiis receiver
another red light tells central of it.
As long as both receivers are down both
lights continue,-when each one hangs
up the receiver his light goes out. We
spent an hour recently looking over the
central plant. It is a marvel of scien
tific arrangement for perfect telephone
service, of which we shall write more
at length later. There are storage
batteries, dynamos of different strength,
motors, transmitters, a perfect network
of fine wires which took 70,000 coniza
tions to complete, a mammoth switch
board with capacity of 3,000 phones, at
present rigged for 1,000, two long dis
tance booths, in fact all the con
veniences which the best electrical
knowledge of today can devise. The
result will be shown in prompt and
perfect service such as we have never
had before. The manager informs us
that from now on the country lines
will be pushed with the utmost rapidity
connections will be made with Lyle,
Lansing, Brownsdale, Rose Creek, Dex
ter and other surrounding towns and
this city will have the best telephone
system in the world.

Italian Shot.
There have been about a hundred
Italians at work for several weeks on
the Great Western grades in this city
and vicinity A few days ago they
struck on account of their boss whom
they did not like. Anew sub boss was
put over them and another gang of
about thirty men not Italians were put
on under foreman Knut Johnson, in
addition. The best of feeling did not
exist between the two gangs and when
last Monday afternoon one of the
Italians tried to borrow a crowbar from
the other gang and was refused the air
was filled with missiles, stones, shovels,
picks etc. Revolvers were also used
and in the disturbance one of the
Italians was seriously shot through the
left lung and is now lying in the
hospital. The small riot was quelled
by the authorities. Knut Johnson and
E. Watt" were taken before justice
Robinson yesterday afternoon on
suspicion that they were implicated in
the shooting but were discharged after
examination, the injured man exonera
ting them. Other arrests will be made.
Had no License to Practice Veterinary
Surgery.
From Luverne Journal:
On Thursday, Oct. 22, John Sevenster,
who claims to have a diploma from
Holland, but who has never secured a
license to practice veterinary surgery
or medicine in Minnesota and who has
been in this locality for nearly two
years, was arraigned before Justice
Reynolds on complaint of the secretary
of the state board of yeterinary ex
aminers, for practicing medicine and
surgery without first having obtained
a license front the state board as re
quired by law. The minimum fine that
can be made in such a case is $50. The
defendant was fined $50 and costs,
which he paid and was discharged from
custody. His statement was that the
State Board of Yeterinary Examiners
does not meet until in January and he
will temporally go to some other place,
possibly to Rock Rapids or some other
town in northern Iowa.

One of the attractions booked at the
opera house for Nov. 24,1-903, is "Quincy
Adams Sawyer," the great New Eng
land drama in its third season of un
interrupted success. Everyone who
has read the book of the same name
from which the play was taken, will
want to see the dramatization, and
those who have not read the book, will
want to see the play just the same, for
everybody loves a clean, wholesome
play of New England life, and this is
just what "Quincy Adams Sawyer" is.
Best of all it has departed from the
weather beaten tracks of the old-time
drama. No murder, no stolen will, no
mortgage. no',ruinedgirl,no stepmother,
no cruel uncle are included in its com
position. The pleasing points area
I simple, sweet love story, a. continuous
series of humorous incidents, and an
almost heretofore unknown naturalness
and purity that pervades the entire
play.

.States Hazing is Useful.
Chancellor James R. Day of Syracuse
university N. Y. in a speech delivered
before the students on the subject of
class distinction declares that he be
lieves hazing is wholesome for fresh
men, but that it would not be en
couraged at the universiy.
"I like classes and class distinction,"
says the chancellor. "I do not favor
the University of Chicago plan of
obliterating classes entirely. Hazing
is not to be encouraged here, but 1
really think that many fellows have
been benefited by being put under the
pump.
"I think it a most wholesome thing
for freshmen to be forced to remain
freshmen. Men come here as seniors
from preparatory schools and it is an
awful but necessary wrench for them
to descend again to the conditions of
the lowest grade."
Chancellor Day also,objects to freshj
men being received into the
fraternities.
Our (ireat University.
Recently compiled statistics show
that the University of Minnesota is the
second largest in the matter of attend
ance in the United States. According
to these figures, seven leading colleges
show an enrollment of more than 3,000
students, and Harvard leads the list
with 4,291. Minnesota comes second
with 3,750 and the University of Cali
fornia is third with 3,690. At the sixty
three leading colleges in the country
the figures show a total enrollment of
83,000, against 80,000 a year ago. The
universities after Harvard, Minnesota
and California are as follows:' Colum
bia, 3,557 Northwestern, 3,492 Mich
igan, 3,387 Yale, 3,100.
Threshing. Engine Explodes.
The threshing engine of Ole A. Rud
land while at work on the farm of John
J. Fardahl in Marshall township Thurs
day noon blew up scattering castings,
hot water and the ends of the boiler in
all directions. Engineer O. G. Olson
was on the platform putting in coal
when the explosion took place. It was
very fortunate and singular that no
one was hurt as those on the stacks at
quite a distance felt the concussion
everely. The engine will probably be
a total loss*
