a meeting will be held In this civ 10.
nofroW to form an association OF daily
ncRsTacc1s Published In towns covered by
Inc ines Of the Illinois l. Mississippi Tc!e.
graph Company. This embraces nearly all
thc towns In Illinois and Iowa, and a num-
'es in Wisconsin The necessity for such an
organization was shown By the recent meet
in& ef the Western Associated Press. The
latter organization, having dealings on1y
with the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, could not reasonably be expected to
admit newspapers which do not aud caunot
take the reports called for by the contracts
existing with that company. The practice
heretofore has been for the Super
lnlenaent Of the Illinois & Mississippi Telc-
graph lires to take copy Of the reports
furnished to the Chicago papers, and mike
up frcm ii report for each daily paper on
his lines desiring it. In return for this copy
of fthe report at Chicago, the Superintendent
Of these lines furnished TO the Associated
Press items Of news transpiring on his lines
Of sufficient general interest to be tele.
eraphed 10 the press Of the country.
