TELEPHONE 226. RELATING TO TELEPHONES There isn't much editorial matter in the editor's head this week but telephone matter. We have labored so long for the ad mission of the rural companies , and have suffered so much of abuse and boycotting that we feel that we are entitled to say as much on the subject as we please. It was more than 18 months ago that this paper first took a stand for the rural companies. We determined then that it was right and that we would never let up until the desires of the rural companies had been grati fied Of course we could have done a good deal better financi ally if we had taken the other side of the controversy , but some j way it didn't seem quite right , ( and therefore we didn't take 4 it. | We have been accused by time serving newspapers , of insincer-1 itv and of li'yiiifif to keep rural companies from accepting the several propositions offered ) that this accusation is untrue is known to every rural telephone man that has ever discussed the matter with The Tribune. We did evo.rything in our power to get the warring factions to gether , and that , notwithstand ing the constant and bitter oppo sition of the local people. This paper , though it needs every dollar that it can earn , has chosen to do what is right. It has never made a dollar out of the telephone fight , but it has advanced its own opinion always. Can those personal organs that have accused The Tribune of in sincerity truthfully say as much ? We have opposedmen in this con troversy that are not only friends of this paper but are among the strongest personal friends of the writer , we have regretted more than we can say that this course has been necessary , but we have an old fashioned notion that the difference between expediency and right is not a fanciful differ ence , and though it has cost us dearly , we have followed what we thought was right , in which the action of the council on Mon day night has vindicated us. Falls City is over run with red bugs. Please notice we said red bugs. Saturday was a real old time Saturday. T h c streets were crowded all day and the mer- chants who advertise were kept busy from early morning till late at night. The state committee met in ; Lincoln Wednesday night , too lale for us to present to our read ers its action. The railroad ele ment of the party seeks to keej the question of the selection of : United States senator out of the state conventionthereby hoping to dispose of Norris Brown. Mr Brown is a poor man who has nc means of making a fight before : legislature , and it is considered quite doubtful whether or not h < would continue in the contest i : the committee determined to g < back to the old method of select ing a senator. The Richardsoi county member of the state com . mittee worked earnestly to hav the committee leave the selectioi of a senator to the state conveti tion where the people can hav the opportunity of making the ! own selection , and not pass it ute to a legsslature that it susccpt ble to so many influences tha make for the supremacy of specu interest to the manifest and er during injury of the people rights. SOLE MONEY ! Monev often lies idle awaiting1 opportuni ties for investment : but these opportunities do not come every week , month , or even year. In the meantime , this money should be eaen- injr something1 , and it can , if you place it in this Hank. Come in and let us talk this matter over with von. rolls City State Bank.

The pessimist who protests against woman's progression , not to mention digression , in now lines of work must admit there is recognition of her ability abroad in the land when a woman is chosen as recording secretary of one of the southern states , sayn the Pilgrim. When the man who held that position with Gov. Cun ningham , of Alabama , resigned recently , Miss Mamie OlVutt , who was conlldcntial stenographer to the governor , was appointed in his place. It was a greatcompliment , for the ofllce demands the exercise of much tact and diplomacy. By virtue of her position Miss Offutt is also secretary of the state board of pardons , and keeps a record of everything in connection with the thousand and one applications for pardon from inmates of Alabama mines and prisons. She must have a familiarity with the statutes of the state which relate to the of fice of governor , since questions bearing upon state laws and stat utes are consequently coming in , and many novel points raised. She must also indorse the action of the governor upon such applica tions , as well as conduct much of the correspondence of the execu tive department. Graciousness ami gentlewomanly qualities are no less characteristic of Miss Of futt than the knowledge of herdu ties or the efficiency with which those duties are performed , and her appointment to such respou- Hibilites is not only a tribute to icr exceptional ability , but incidentally - ( dentally recognizes the fact thai ( there are women who can keep .1 secret. , MOBS ATTACK MONUMENTS Wheu Riot In Ruusla Breaks Loose Big Shafts Are Made the First Object of Attack. That the disturbances in Russia are uot marked by the overthrow of memorials is due to the care 'exercised ' by the police iu guard ing the column of Alexander I. a lid other historic monuments. The police have learned through experience that these public me morials are the llrst objects of a mob's attack , and they profited by the happenings iu other lauds. When the Commune gained control - trol iu Farm its first aetiou was the overthrow of the Veudomc columns , while even the historic Nelson colutuu , in Loudou , has been miucd , though in that iu 1 stance the detonator failed to ex 1 l > ludc. 21 The atatuc of William III. in r Dublin has withstood many an . attack , the recurrent anniver j sarles of the battle of the Boynt t stirring hatred afresh. The old statue in buttered and time worn I but no serious harm has jet beet " done. | America has few memorials tc 3 attract or invite mob violence " Possibly the Haymarket memo II rial , in Chicago , may some day b ( - blown up by those who regard tin e anarchists executed for the crinr n as martyrs , but the only recent at i. tempt to blow up a statue was tin c unsuccessful effort to destroy tin monument to Frederick the Grea jr at Washington. ] European memorials incur th l" dislike of the lawless because o lt their associations rather than be * l cause of their lack of artisti ivalue. . Were the latter defect ai 's incentive to crime the park polic would be kept busy here. SALVATION IN ADVERTISING Brightly-Colored Insects Are a Dan ger Signal to Tholr Known Enemies. Every meadow on a summer day swarms with a winged host blatantly heralding its exist ence by colors thai must seem cor dial invitations to its enemies. Why is it that they are not at tacked ? asks Waldemar II. KaemplVerl , in Hooklovers Mag- axine. For a long lime ( hat question puzzled Darwin. After much futile speculation it was finally ascertained that many of these gayly tinlod denizens of th < > air are horribly distasteful to in soot-eating epicureans and fre quently endowed with the most nauseous qualities. They I'mil their salvation by advertising themselves boldly and llnmlxn antly. Their colors are danger signals not to be disregarded. The light yellow body of theeaU r pillar that develops into the magpie moth is gaudily spotted with orange and black. A Mill. ' experimental ( listing lias taugln every bird. li/ml ; and frog to avoid the creature I hat wear * these colors. The caterpillar that strips the foliage of our oaks and elms toward the close of sumun > i is likewise a squirming cylindoi of black , yellow and orange. In sect eaters reject it often with iigns of intense disgust. And hus red and black ladybirds , yel ow striped hornets , wasps and ) ee.s , black and red beetles , and n lost of insects preserve them , elveM by brazenly proclaiming heir offensive tastes or odors or langerous stings to all the animal vorld. Other insects that would prove lelieious morsels to greedy 'oes have not been slow to protU jy the immunity that is granted > y a warning garb. They have ac tually mimicked obnoxious spe eies protected by garish hues in order to escape death themselves , and this with such amazing accu racy that not only is the enemj but even the collector completely tricked. In the jungles of tlu tVnmzon species of butterflies art found that mimic the species Heli i-onidae. Entomologically thej are all as distinct as horses ant cows , and yet the one species is r photographicall.vexaeti'ountorfei of the other. The Eleliconidai possess an atrocious odor au taste , and accordingly are ai brilliantly conspicuous as oxeyi daisies in u green field. So frei are they from attack that they Ha ] lazily along , utterly Indifferent t danger and perfectly secure ii their sickening attributes. Th mimickers so cleverly copy th ' markings'form of Winga , am j heavy flight of the Heliconida , I that spiders-drop them from thel [ webs and small monkeys rejec them despite their palatability.
