Telephone Company Changes Hands
On July 1st Mr. W. C. May of Goth
enburg, Nebraska, will take possesion
of the Allance phone sytem. The deal
has just been completed between Mr.
May and Mr. L. G. Bowman, the pres
ent owner.
Mr. Dowmon has been owner of the
business for nearly three years and un
der his ownership the service has im
proved from a 6mall exhange to a city
like exchange, handling over a thous
and phones and employing a good force.
One of the recent and most valuable
changes was the installation of a new
up-to-date switchboard and tho chang
ing of , the old style "crank" phones to
the handy instrument which simply re
quires the lifting of the receiver to call
central.
Mr, Bowman expects to leave Alli
ance and will move to Chicago in a
short time. He will be missed in Alii
anc. Mr. May is said to understand
bis business thoroughly and undoubt
edly will hold the service up to the high
standard rendered under the manage
man of Mr, Bowman.
G3AND ISLAND'S LIGHT Cfit-AP
Fight
Between Municipal
and
City
Plant Does It.
Grand Island, Neb., June 28. As the
result of an installation of an eled
trie lighting plant In connection with
the municipally-owned and' operated
waterworks the citizens of this city
nre enjoying what Is believed to be
the cheapest rate for the electric cur
rent that exists In the state.
When tho city plant was ready for
operation It fixed Its rate at 11 cents
for the smnllest down to 8 cents for
the largest consumption per month,
with a minimum of f 1 per month. The
private company, first owned by
Schenectady Interests and now by Mr.
Sunny of Chicago, in order to hold Its
business nnd secure n portion of new
patronnge, cut Its rates from 8 cents
to 4 cents for the lighting of stores,
warehouses, Bhops nnd offices to prices
ranging from 10 cents to 5 cents per
1,000 wntts for the lighting of resl
dences, nnd to CVir cents to 4. cents
for power. At a recent meeting of
the city council the municipal plant
having, according to Expert Account
ant Gilchrist, made a profit Inst year
of $9,000, reduced Its rate to meet
that of the private company. The pri
vate company nnnounces another cut,
bringing the rate down to 1 cent on
ali classes as enumerated above.
PACKERS SUBMIT TO RAISE
Make No Protest to Rate Increase
East of Chicago.
Omnha, June 28. Omaha and South
Omaha packing Interests are submit
ting to last week's raise In rates by
the rallronds with a striking quietude
when compared to the objections reg
istered last May. The May Increase
applied to traffic from the Missouri
river to Chicago. The newest Increase
Is from Chicago to the seaboard and is
C centB for 100 pounds on dressed.!,
meats, 3 cents on provisions and pack
ing house products and' 3 cents also on
hogs nnd sheep.
But in view of the way the railroads
worked the lncrense, absence of pro
test here is not so surprising. Tho
hends of the pncklng Interests in Chi
cago were summoned to New York
nnd there told that UiIb increase would
result In better service. By this and
other arguments, which have not ap
peared, the packers were Induced to
accept the Increase without demur.
It was expected that western dry
goods dealers and similar lines would
be Induced to abandon their position
of stout resistance to a general In
crease In freight rates. But up to
date the dry goods men and otherB
hnve not fallen Into line and have re
fused to be placated by the example
of the packers.

BROWNE JURY STILL OUT
Two of the Jurors Disagree About
Merits of .Jeffries and Johnson.
Chicago, June 28. The Jury which
is considering the Browne brlberj
case is Btill out. There is no sign ol
tin agreement so far as outward Indi
cations showed.
Even In the Isolated Jury room,
where one of the most momentous ver
dicts in the history of Illinois is be
ing considered, the Jeff rles JohnsoD
fight is not forgotten. This developed
when Judge McSurely called the re
porters to hlra.
"Boys." said he, "It Is quite useless
to guess how the Jury stands. Nobodj
fcnows. I don't know myself. I see b
one of the papers that the jurymen
have been engaged in a fistic en
counter. As a matter of fact there
was nothing to It. Two Jurors whe
are agreed as to the verdict got Intc
a friendly argument as to the relative
merits of Jeffries and Johnson. This
developed into a wrestling Match. II
was not serious."
Asked how long the Jury might
etay out, the judge Bald;
"1 want to leave the city with my
family next Friday, If they staud sli
to Bix at that time, probably I wf., dls
charge them, if it Is eleven to one
or ten to two something like that
I may hold them still longer."
Chadron is following in the footstep
of Alliance by purchasing ground ior a
site on which to eiect a Carnegie
library building. They expect to ask
Carnegie for five thousand dollars with
which to erect n building.
