REASONABLE RATES
If a company gives good service, earns only enough
to maintain its plant up to recognized standards of effi
ciency, to provide for reconstruction cost when worn
out or obsolete, and pays only a fair dividend to its
shareholders then the company's rates are fair and
reasonable.
Rates in many cases may appear unfair because
the reasons for various changes are misunderstood. In
every case our rates are based on the results of scienti
fic investigation after years of expert study of the vari
ous problems into rate making.
Telephone rates in various communities must dif
fer because of the conditions that enter into rate com
putations varying in given localities. Telephone opera
tion is different from nearly anywher in this the
greater the extent of service, the higher the cost.
This peculiarity of telephone charges will be dis
cussed in the next article in this paper.

GOVERNOR ALDR1CH HANDSOMELY
"GilllED" III BUCKEYE STATE
Ohio Alumni Refutes to Allow Governor to Speak, and Kept Up
Such a Claimor That Our "Model" Chief Executive Could
Not Be Heard When He Did Talk.
It is a shame tho way Oovernor
Aldrich has been treated in his
own native state of Ohio, when
the students refused to 'listen to
his speech. In speaking of the
manner in which he was served,
the Ohio State Journal, publish
ed at Columbus, says:
"Although equipped with pow
erful lungs, a jovial and com
manding personality and primed
for the occasion, Oovernor Aid
rich of Nebraska yesterday after
noon found it impossible to de
liver a well arranged address
which he had prepared for tho
alumni association luncheon ut
the Ohio stato university.
"The western executive did
succeed in saying about a half
d07.cn words, but all efforts to go
.further were made futile. He
Stood before bis audience for two
hours, smiling and gesticulating,
but could not be heard above tho
din of song, whistling, inlerrnga
tion and applause.
" 'I want to say something
about the men of Ohio," said the
honored alumnus. This was tho
last of his speech, which, he said
afterwards, had taken him about
Laundry Doing Qood Work.
Piorson Hrothors are forging
right to the front with their re
modeled laundry. These in
dustrious young men have placed
new floor in the building and now
have four washers up and in
operation, whereas only two were
used before. Their work is llrst-
Class and their increase in pat
ronage right along shows that the
people appreciate a real laundry
when one conies to town. Their
wet and dry washes each have a
goodly patronage and give excel
lent satisfaction for family
washes.

For some time I was caused much
suffering by attacks of lumbago
that camo on without the least
warning. I he simplest movement
was painful and I was also an
noyed by irregular passages of
the kidney secretions. I read so
much about Doan's Kidney Pills
that I finally procured a box from
Rynott A Co.'s Drug Store. I was
F.i gratified with the results of
their use that I publicly recom
mended them in i 900 and at this

ment. I hope that other kidney

MAN STRUCK BY BUR-
L1NGT0NFREIGHT TRAIN
Seriously Injured While Sitting
on the Railroad Track, Un
conscious of Surroundings.
The Sioux City special, pulled
by Engineer John Snead, yester
day afternoon, as it approached
Louisville, and rounding a curve,
struck a laborer who was sitting
on the track and quite severely
injured the man. The injured
man had been employed at the
Murphy quarry and had been to
the dentist's ofllce to have some
teeth extracted, and had taken
gas, which rendered him too ill to
proceed, and be sat down on the
track in a half conscious slate
and seemed unconscious of
danger.
The freight was a through
train and ordinarily did not make
any slops between Pacific Junc
tion and Ashland, and was going
at. a rapid pace when the curve
was rounded, and although Mr.
Snead did what he could to stop
in time to avoid injuring the man,
he could not do so. The unfor
tunate man had his hip crushed
and his side and arm badly
bruised. He was taken lo Louis-
villo and Dr. Lewis called to dress
his injuries. The man had no
funds and Commissioner Freid-
erich was communicated with and
arrangements were made or the
countv to caro for tho man until
his friends can be notified.
No blame could be attributed lo
tho train crew for tho accident.
It was an unfortunate circum
stance that allowed tho man to
leave the village on bis return to
camp until he was able to travel.
Mr. Henry Hilbert was an Oma
ha passenger this afternoon,
where he looked after business
matters for a time.
