With many more apt illustra tions was the lecture explained, punctured with pointed para graphs, showing the ideal man and tho one which when the time comes for trial is the strongest and best under any circumstances. Above all he must be right with his Creator, right with his fellows and with himself. From Wudni-Hday'a Dally. Sunday evening at the Chris tian church tho theme of "Hunt ing a Man" was discussed by tiio Rev. I). L. Dunklebergcr to a large and appreciative audience. In the tiunl it did not appear to be the object to II mi one with as goodly' proportions as King Saul, who towered above his fellows "like ld (ioliath tall his spear a hun dred weight." The stature did not mailer ho much, though a fine physique is desirable. Not u man milh a little, starved, shriveled, narrow two-by-four soul, whom, when he came homo his dog would nlmk under the bed to get away from his presence, but one who would represent the "big brother," which fhe Klks use as . an il lustration of some of the prin ciples of I heir order, and which the children would delight to call "Uncle Tom." To measure up to the standard of what is necessary for Hie man which was being hiinled, one must bfi of a gentle disposition, rfljiecially lo the ladies, whether old and wrinkled or young and fair, to I he children and every body wilh whom I hey may chance 1 inert. In fact he must be a gentleman in I he line sense of the word. He must he iudusl rious, for otherwise he is throwing away his patrimony, strength, youth aud that valuable asset, which is nly spent once, and to bring the f'ost results must, lie well invested Ihe first opportunity that is time. One must live within his means, and have safe working margin left if the exigencies of the case re quire; no greater elTnrl must be put forth or greater skill ac quired with which to earn, for when one continually exceeds his income by his expenditures, the lime must come when dishonesty IMPROVING IHE TELEPHONE PLANT Work Progressing in Fine Shape, and When Completed Will Be Better Equipped for Service. From Wednenduy' Dally. Tho work of improving the plant of the Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph company in this cily is progressing in line shape, und when il is completed it will be one of the best equipped plants in the state. The new multiple switch-board that is being install ed in the exchange will improve the service-of the company 50 per cent and ul Ihe same lime make the work of the operators lighter. On the old-style boards that were formerly used the operators were compelled to make connection from different sections, while on the new one all Ihe numbers ap pear before Ihe operator ami it is not necessary for I hem to leave their seats lo make Hie connec tions, greatly enhancing Ihe rapidity of the service and making it much more convenient for the parly calling. The desk of the head operator is lived so that she can ne nine to tell now each operator is working and keep per fect track of the operators at all limes. The long distance board is equipped with a calculagraph which keeps a perfect record of Ihe lime used by Ihe patrons of their calls. and is absolutely ac curate and does away' w ith Ihe necessity of Ihe operator making out the ticket by hand and Ihe necessity of listening lo the conversation. The company will also in troduce the common ballery sys tem of telephones, that does away wilh the magneto system requir ing batteries in each telephone and insures the subscribers against the common trouble of weak batteries, as the storage bailers in the ofllec will be tested each morning and kept in perfect condition, which insures better service. This will of course necessitate the pulling in of new telephones, and all the 'phones now in use will be relegated lo the scrap heap and new ones in stalled. Under this system the necessity of using a bell to call central will be done away with. The telephone company will also reduce the number on a parly line from four to two and install an all metallic system that will over come Ihe trouble so often had of hearing- other parlies while tele phoning. The cables conveying the wires into Ihe exchange will be changed to run into Ihe side of the build ing from the alley, where the con nections will be made with the new switch-board. There will be a double protection here against lightning or other disturbances to the line that will prevent the burn ing out of the switch-board, there being a large copper wire convey ing Ihe current lo Ihe ground and two guards on each wire lo slop Ihe current from getting into the switch-board. The wire chief has a desk in this room where he can lest out each line without being forced to bother the operators and Ihe switch-board and be able lo secure much belter service for Ihe subscribers. The work of in stalling Ihe new equipment is in charge of Mr. I'recse of Chicago, who was sent here by the West ern Klectrie company and is an expert in his line, and the work j is being done in splendid shape. The company has ,jul recently placed a new healing plant in I heir building and has spared no money to put the building in as line shape as any in the state, and wilh Ihe pleasant rest room just completed makes il very con venient and comfortable for the operators, and the new arrange ments will give Ihe patrons a splendid telephone service that cannot be beat anvwhere.
