This supplement Is given to the country news paper editors free of cost, the editor prob ably paying the coat of freight or express. The supplements are printed In New York and the shipments are made from Washington. The supplement contains some advertis ing matter and is gotten up In the shape of a legitimate sheet, making it easy for a newspaper man to be taken In by It unless he Is suspicious. Among ths reading mat ter, however, there appears an article from the St. Paul Trade in opposition to the parcels post. Men who pretend to know say this U the reason the supplement is offered to the country newspapers free of cost, as the other articles In the supple ment are of a general news nature.

With sundown last night began the Jewish New Tear, or Rosh Hoshana, as it Is known In the calendar. With the reformed faith the holiday lasts until Saturday at sun down, but the orthodox Hebrews prolong the ceremonies until the close of the follow ing day. In the synagogue of the reformed sect on Harney street and at the syna gogues of the orthodox believers at Twelfth and Capitol avenue and on South Thirteenth street services began at 7:30 last night and continued during the evening. They will be resumed about 8 o'clock this morning and carried forward continuously for one or two days, as the case may be. The day marks the commencement of the Jewish holiday season, which ends eight days later on the day of atonement Tom Kipper. This means fasting and repentance Instead of the present rejoicing.

H0U)BEjL2PTttrnbg Qn the Light, - I I CATHERS' HOWL IS IGNORED Aggrieved Office Seeker, Whose Per sonal Taxes Were Forced from Hint Opposes Ak-Sar-Ben Stand. Despite the reappearance of John T. Cath ers at the city hall with a verbal protest against the erection of a $125 Ak-Sar-Ben reviewing stand In front of the city hall at the city's expense, the stand Is being built by orders of Mayor Moores. This is Cath ers" first trip to the city hall since he was made to pay up a big personal tax bill not long ago, by having his law books and fur niture attached by the city treasurer. "No less than half a dozen prominent business men called me up on the telephone or saw me Thursday and told me to draw on them for the cost of the stand If Cathers Interfered with the city's paying for It," said Mayor Moores. "I had decided to have it built if I had to pay for it myself. The erection of a stand is part of the duty we owe to our visitors. One of the men who wanted to pay for the structure was G. W. Wattles, vice president of the Commercial National bank." "The trouble with Cathers Is," said a busi ness man who was at the city hall, "in his eagerness to punish political enemies he mistakes parsimony for economy, and while pretending to be a bona fide reformer, presents the spectacle of an unreasonable fanatic."

EXISTING FACILITIES COVER ALL POINTS No Business Is Being Diverted from Omaha for Lack of Inde pendent Toll Line Con nections, In the campaign of misrepresentation which is being conducted by the Independ ent telephone promoters many specious ap peals are being made for public support, but the most superficial plea advanced by Messrs. Hunt, Fairfield and Pollock Is that by accepting the second telephone system Omaha will open its commercial gates to thousands of Nebraska business men whose telephonic orders would otherwise go to St. Joseph. Kansas City, Lincoln, Sioux City and Des Moines. The statement that Omaha is losing trade from the surround ing country by not having connection with the Independent telephone lines is not only silly, but it is contemptible, because It Is published by people who know, or ought to know, there Is not an lota of truth in It. Mr. Hunt says "Omaha wants the right to connect with every independent 'phone from the Atlantic to the Pacific," inferring that such a right would come from the estab lishment of a second telephone exchange here, when he knows perfectly well that connection with Independent telephones, even from the Mississippi to the Platte, Is Impossible. Mr. Pollock draws a pessimistic picture for Omaha's jobbers when he writes about there being 100,000 Independent 'phones In Nebraska which are not con nected with Omaha, while the fact is that there are not more than 60,000 independent telephones in the state, and about one-half of these are connected with the toll lines of the Nebraska Telephone company reach ing Omaha, and the other half are in towns which can be reached better by the Ne braska company's lines than they can by the Independent lines. Mr. Fairfield emits the same wail, although by taking in west ern Iowa he increases Mr. Pollock's figures from 100,000 to 126,000. All this misrepresentation, of course, is for the purpose of enticing the business men of Omaha to the support of the move ment for a city franchise, which can be turned into thousands of dollars for the promoters of the Independent telephone scheme, and for that reason, if not for any other, the facts concerning telephonic toll lines In this state should be given pub licity. Nearly all of the independent toll lines In Nebraska were built by local companies and were Intended, at the time of their construction, for merely local or county business, and not for long-distance work. For that reason they were constructed with No. 12 iron wire, which lacks the con ductive quality to carry a message any considerable distance. Some of these county systems have been connected up with each other, and others have been connected up with the Nebraska Telephone company's copper metallic toll lines. The inter county system created by the connection of the Independent county systems are scattered throughout the eastern half of the state, and many cf them are Isolated, so that connection with Omaha, even if an independent exchange were established here, is impossible. The fact Is that the independent toll lines of Nebraska are scat tered and separated, and hundreds of con necting links and the substitution of cop per for Iron lines are necessary to make them into anything like a connected and serviceable state system. In the few Instances where Independent county system have been connected for any considerable distance It Is Impossible to secure satisfactory service, for the reason that the Iron circuits lack conductivity. If any one doubts this, let him go to the in dependent toll station In South Omaha and try to talk to Tork. The writer, on Mon day, August 25, with weather conditions perfect, found It Impossible to get even a connection with York over the Independ ent line from South Omaha. The Inde pendents have some copper toll lines, but the equipment is bad In other respects, for it Is Impossible to get good service over these metallic circuits, as a test by the writer last Monday demonstrated. I had to ring twice before I could get a response from Plattsmouth central, and was then told by the operator to "shake up tho phone" so that she might hear me. After a wait of fourteen mlautes I secured a connection with the Lincoln hotel at Lincoln, but had to raise my voice to the highest pitch to make myself heard. The clerk at the Lincoln hotel said my voice sounded "like It was 400 miles away." Afterward I called for Falrbury, which Is said by the independent people to be 00 one of their very best long-distance cir cuits, but I could not make myself heard by the operator there, nor could I hoar her. The central girl at Plattsmouth avked ms If I could hear the Fairbury operator, and I replied in the negative whereupon the Plattsmouth girl remarked: "Neither can I." Any one may go to the Independent toll station In South Omaha, and, if he has the patience, demonstrate to his own sat isfaction that he cannot get good service over the independent toll lines to more than half a dosen towns in Nebraska. And to these half dosen towns he can not get as good service over the independent as he can over the Bell lines. Thure Is not a business man anywhere In Nebraska, who cannot reach Omaha over the jU toll lines easier and better than he can reach Lincoln. BC Joseph or Kansas City, over the Inde pendent toll lines, and all this talk of the arofijetwi Uoiit pmaba'a IoiJdi tigds 9 these other cities by not having the inde pendent connection is mere nonsense. Over a hundred Independent telephone companies In Nebraska, with about 22.000 lex cal subscribers, have connection with Omaha over the Bell lines, and the others may secure It on reasonable terms If they are anxious to furnish this service to their local subscribers. The Bell toll lines In Nebraska are of ths best construction, being oopper me tall lo cir cuits, and are thoroughly connected Into ons great state system, with a sufficient numbet of trunk lines bewteen Important polntt to care for the heavy traffic The Nebraska Telephone company, with Its Independent connections, has upwards of 600 toll station! In this state, while the disconnected inde pendent companies have only about 2P0. The Bell lines reach about 400 towns not reached at all by the disconnected lhde pendents, while the latter do not reach a. single trading point that cannot be reached bettor over the Bell lines. These factt show Just what the Independent telephont promoters are In position to bring to Omaha In the way of trade over the telephone nothlngl H. J, GONDEN.
