freeborn County and Page.

EDITOR TRANsCR1PT:-Those who were
present during the Page impeachment
trial will remember how carefully Page
corralled his witnesses. How he kept
them all present during the whole trial,
and had them board at the same place
that himself and the more forceful of his
adherents might color their recollections
by their extreme and positive statements.
Something like this is going on now in
his management to prevent Freedom
county from free interchange OF senti.
ment with the rest of the district. Free
born county favored his denomination,
and elected delegates instructed to advo-
cate his nomination in the district con.
vent,on. Freedom county has that right,
but is only one county of the four inter-
ested in the matter, and manlfestly has
not the right to dictate the choice of any
man for Judge to whom the rest of the
.--~--~zu~UIy- UPk0,Su.
would seem reasonable, under such cir
cumstancee, for the district to endeavor
to unite upon some person in the district
with the requisite legal qualifications,
about whom there would be no division
OF feeling. This would undoubt eddy have
taken place had not Page seen fit to
commence corralliug. At the Freedom
convention, the first instruction to vote
for Page and Page only, was modified by
dropping the last three words before it
was passed. This left an opening for
harmonious action, in case Page should
not prove the choice of majority of the
district. But they were supporting a |
man who is scarce content with harmony.
even if favorable to his own interests.
And he has wholly changed the attitude
OF that county, by debating that the dele.
gates should not present his name there,
and inviting them to spend the day with
him, instead of conversing and consulting
with the rest of the district who have Oh.
posing views, but are certainly equally
interested in choosing a wise and impair
tial man for judge. think the Freedom
delegates have made mistake in com
hitting themselves to factious oppesi-
ton without any apparent regard or at.
tempt to ascertain the wishes of the other
counties--their equals, And trust th at the
people OF that county will not sustain
their action with their votes, but
will unite with the rest Of the district, |
and vote for Hon. John @. Farmer.
They must conclude that . man is safer |
for judge whom his own neighbors and
county think fit forit than one condemned |
as unworthy by one and another as they
become more intimately acquainted with
him. till he can scarce raise q corporate
guard of supporters where he is best

THE hIICROPHONE.

THE BELL TELEIa0SE COAFANIs
125 LaSaile street, have received what is called
IA battery transmitter''-the invention OF Prof.
Bell, which will enable one to hear whisper
over the wire. A voltaic current IS passed
through conductors which are connected with
the diaphragm. These conductors of1er a Ger
tain resistance to the current, aud are SO ar
ranged that the vibrations Of the diaphragm
caused BY the sound waves vary this resistance
with every wave, thus producing fluctuations in
the current which correspond to and reproduce
the articulation. a mngneto-te lephone, how
ever. is required as receiver 1hls transmIter
acts more powerfully, for the reason that voltalc
electricity is force much stronger than tie
megneto-elcctric current ordinarily produced BY
the telephone, and on that account the 1aintcst
articulation can be transmitted WITH the utmost
distioctness. The battery telephone, though
possessing the advantage OF louder articulation,
and not being liable to get out OF order under
ordinary circumstances, is more delicate and
complicated in its construction, requires the
maintenance Of battery in connection with it,
aud, occasionally, the attention Of AL electrical
exuert It Will doubtless be used principally in
the larger cities where the induced cur
rents from telegraph and other wires interfere
materially with the weaker currents OF the

tween Milwaukee and Chicago, and experiments

ANDREW COCHRAN.
Uncle Sam has al last gotten hold OF man
whom he has been seeking, through bis ordinary
Of October, 1915. This person is none other than
Andrew Cochran, who, with his brother, David
Cochran, Rue P. Hutchins, Eli D. Banuistcr,
and Thomas L. Wiswall, were wanted in
these regions at that time to answer to
charge Of dcfrauding the United States OF the
of October, 1915, David Cochran, Hutchins, and
Baun;ster had preliminary examination before
Commissioner Hoyne, and were held III Good

which sat the next month. Andrew Cochran anti
the young man Wiswall failed to appear, but the
Grand Jury embered them, though their
forms were absent. 10 the indictments which it
returned during the session. With the history
Of the case, commonly known us the Cochran
Distillcry case, the TRIALS and subsequent i'm
the district, the public is already familiar. 4
couple Of months ago one OF the abscntccs,
young Wisvail turned up. He caEae here from
Cincinnati, was arrested by Deputy Marshal,
was released Oh the strength Oh Il letter 1r0El
the District Attorney at Cincinnati stating that
he had squared himself with the Government,
and was one Of its witnesses in cc' tain civil
cases there, and the indictment against him was
subsequently nolIe pressed. But the ono
Cochran to whom justice hadn't been 1ncted
out, or who hadn't sQuealeu on somebody and
thus saved himself, was still missing. AS much
as 4 year aud hall ago certain Deputy Mar
sllal got wind OF tho fart that tho much wanted
though comparatively unimportant, man was
rusticating in Kansas, and i trip to that
region was the next thing III order.
On arriving there the Deputy learned that
Andrew had pulled up stakes and gone on
further est,-no one knew where After vafnly
endea:oring to lay hold OIL him, the Deputy re-
turned to Chicago, and no trace Of the fugitive
Was obtained until about 4 month ago. whcu the
information came that he could be found in the
purlieus OF Tippecanoc: Oh1o- The indictment,
together with 4 warrant tor Cuchran's arrest,
was sent TO United States Marshal U!1ery, OF
Cincinnati, and yesterday morning Marshal
niidrup got word IRON Ullery that Cochran had
been arrested, and that they would
leave tor Chicago by the first train.
Arrangements we're accordingly made to receive
the visitors on their arrival. That is to say, the
afarshai's office and Commissioner Hoync's Of
fce were kcp, open during the early evening,
and the officials lay on their arms awaiting the
progress OF events. Their waiting. ho:- vet, WAS
in vain, and they finally gave him up for the
night He will probably reach the city to-day,
and, as he WIS. arrested On bench warrant,
spend Sunday at least over the river.
