Belle Telephone Co. Mr Dee. Manager of the Company, Talks. Shown Superiority of II U Co. -ioiitr4 Willi Marquette toanty t'onipany-Mr lie Cumpanjr lla IUO Subscriber Thrr. I'poa being akcd by our reporter what eflec' he thought the Dew telephone com- panj would have on the telephone buni Desa r toe HHI company, .Mr. uee re plied: "I think tioe who bare one for tele phone mortice, and not simply telephone, would patron's the company givirj; the beat ernee for 'he least money, that it is a question afft-ctioz the cuftDrrer'a busine and bis pocket hook, and not a question of sympathy. If the proposed company, should io into the buioess, it means two telephones and double the expense an1 annoyance to a good many. If any one doubts the superiority of our system here over the Marquette County system, which is so often quoted, I will be pleased to take and pay the expenses of any fife or t-u representative men of ibis county to the iron country, and show to their satisfaction that tbey do not in any way compare with our metal lic service, and that the Marqictte County company are not furnishing a copper wire metallic service even on their trunk lines between the different towns, and I have jet to hear of any of the Marquette County company official say tbat there i any comparison. HeDce, I say it isunfair of our competitors to at tempt to mate an even comparison be tween tbem, either in price or quality. Many customers who were not satifid with our rates before the reduction, are now, and have expressed their willing ness to continue the service as long n the present standard of service is kept up, and at the pr-snt rentals. S;nce the re duction has taken plnee. w have re ceived ordrs f ir a numhr of te'phonf s, both metallic and grounded. The former we are furnishing at $48 for busi ness places, and whre t wo are to go on the same line the rate is $42 each, and residence phones, one on a line $.10. and two on a line $30. The grounded busi ness phone rate for one on a lioe is $30, two on a lin $30 evb, residence, for one on a line 118 and two on a line $15 eah. TVse rates, I think will satisfy our cus tomers generally and bring us a lot of ne v busineHM. "I) you know who are going to put money into the new company? No, but I do know four of the most prominent gentleman whose nam a have been ued in order to induce our subscribers to Mgn their petit'ons. Tbey are not and donot intend to interest tbemlTes ia the schema. Has the Bell company any sub scribers in Marquette county? Yes, something over 400. Hallowe'en. Halloween, the day of all days in the year when the practical joker has things his own way to a certain extent and when the young people play all kinds of pranks on the property of unsuspecting citizens, comen tomorrow evening, but the fact that it occurs on aSunday night will probably not put a damper on the pro per, or al leaf t customary, observance of the event. If the Halloween celebration this year comes any wher near what it generally is in this city, there will be "a hot time" in the old town ton'ght, for it will most likely be celebrated tonight instead of Sunday evening. Every Halloween night in this city tor several years jest has afforded the op p rtunity for youngsters to destroy much valuable property and in some cases there has been talk of apprehend ing the offenders, but usually nothing is done unless the lu a was carried too far. So one wishes to deprive them of the fun the may get out of the time so long as t ey stay within proper bounds. To moft people the reason for the cele b'ationisa mystery and origin of the d ty equally so. All Saints' eve, or Halloween, originat ed In Rome in the seventh century, at the time the Panthenon was converted into a christian place of worship. The princl pat part of the Halloween ritual former ly consisted of lighting a fire before the door of each household. Holloweenisa relic of paganism, and of the time when spirits from both worlds were supposed to walk the earth. And to this late day though we may not believe in faiiiea and witches, if there is any night of the year when the imagination may indulge in all sorts of wild fancies it is the last night of October. This is the charmed night of all the year for the young people who are desirous of looking into the future and of diyinig the probabilities of marriage. It is an old belief that children born on this night are supposed to be able to see and converse with supernatural beings. Harks Dro.' Csmpany. The Mark Bros company gaye "The Irish Dragoon" last night before another large audience. The company seems to haye struck a popular note, for the house is crowded each evening, and those who attend regularly agree that the I how is one of the bent ever given In-tbls city for such popular prices. The play last night was full of comedy and interesting action, and the auden appeared to be delight ed. Tom Mark's comedy was good as usual.

Poplls Are Greatly Interested In their Work Neuter Claaa Ladles Will Entertain Vlaltlng Students This Etrnloc The Calumet high school senior girls are woikiog hard. Yon see many plan ning faces and wouder at this, well, why not, tbey have undertaken tbe task of entertaining the Marquette and Calumet foot ball teams and of giving them a supper this evening. The freshmen are continually being sent back from class to the princi pal on account of failures and misbehav ior. Freshmen, wakeup, put away child isb things and try to assume tbe air of dignified personages seniors for in stance we know you are young and miscbievious. but try not to givfthe school so much trouble in taking care of you in the future as you have in tbe past. A new plan of making up failures ha been settled upon. It has been decided that the old plan is not entirely satisfac tory, for many pupils who get their les sons day by day and do not fail are pre vented from getting help because the teacher is kept constantly busy making up failures. It has been now decided that when a pupil fails he is to write on a slip of paper the amount o' time be has spent on tbe study be failed in. his name and tbn date; he bands this in before going to class and the teacher looks over tbe slip and uses her judgment as to whether this is acceptable or not. If it is not ac ceptable the pupil is forbidden to enter class. Tbe high school has bad many vi-itos of late, some of whom were Miss Power and Messrs. Bath, Mack. Porter and Woodley. Many of them sprke highly of the school and especially of its musical ability. There has been a mixed chorus and girls chorus organized in tbe high school with Miss Grundy as musical director. It is Miss Grundy's plan to so drill these choruses tbat they shall he aWe to dist inguish themselves in public at some future date. A rumor floats in tbe high school tbat a quartet of senior boys is to be organized. We all hope this is true, for we have some elegant voices in tbe senior class. Tbe practice of tbe chorus is every Friday night and all partakers of this musical feast er. joy It very much.1 The virgil class has nearly comp eted Book 1 of Aeneid, but with much difficul ty and many qneer translations They have landed Aeneid at tbe court of Dido and are awaiting for Cupid to burl his dart. Tbe students are all interested in cupid yon know, although there is but one boy in the class. The geometry class has nearly finished Book 1 and they enjoy tbeir work very much. Tbe literature class have just finished studying the old English poet, Chancer. They bavread th "Prologue" of tbe ' Canterbury Tales" and the "Knight's Tale." Tbe class learned many quota tions from both of these selections, but I the one most thoroughly absorbed in tbe j brains cf the members of the class is "Shrieketh Emily and Howleth Pal arium." The sophomore classic's class are studying Pope's translation of Homer's "llliad." I advise the freshmen to study their old spelling books a little more, then when tbey have accomplished tbat task, they would better get out their dusty grammars and study bow and when to use. to, too and two. The "Man in the Moon" is a favorite topic in the astronomy class, but as yet none of tbe young ladies have fallen in love with hiin. The high school has rented a new piano at last, they have willed their organ to tbe eighth graders. One of the poor tresbies Is complaining about tbe strict rules of the high school. We said he would soon get gray, if the work increased so rapidly throughout the whole year as it has during the last three months. The chorus class will meet Thursday M. E.

As juniors tbey overcame this horrible monster and why should they not be able to kill their enemy this year, t Miss Mabelle Peters, ot Crystal Falls, has entered the freshmen class. Miss Viola Vivian has left school on accouot of haying trouble with her eyes. Tbe high school extend their sympathy and kindest regards to Miss Vivian. Tbe first year Latin class has been div ided iuto two divisions. One consists of of those who can take more advanced work than tbe other. The first division intend to take up a book of orations at Christmas time, while tbe others will keep at their preparatory work. Tbe Calumet high school foot ball team is to play against the Marquette team today and all high school pupils are to attend this game and help our boys win. Tbe boys are rapidly ascending tbe lad der of foot ball and we all are very proud of tbem and I think we will be prouder of them before the foot ball season is oyer. A second eleven is now being or ganized so asto giye our first eleven a chance to better themselves. Previous to this tbey fought against an imaginary team; now they have a team to combat against that is alive. , Tbe physics clas is at present studing "Freely Falling Bodies.'' Tbemanunl training pupils are pa tiently waiting for tbe time when thay will have the pleasure of working in tbe new building across tbe way, but while that pleasuie is not possible, tbey are working bard in tbe high febool room. They have their tools and it is reported tbat they are doing excellent work. The seniors have received samples of class pins and before long you will see them displayicg handsome ne ones.
