The Latest TeieDhOne Invention.

W. Guthrie, of Leesburg, O., has invented q
telephone, which has been tested by many diff:
ferent parties, and all claim for it the superb
ority over any other invention. The tele-
phone is operated by direct current o1
electricity and not by inducted currents, as are
others, and no induction coils are needed The
articulation of speech is made by natural and
mechanical disturbance of the current at the
positive and negative poles, which are brought
near to or in contact with the diaphragm. One
pole is made of close and compact natural pro.
duction of the earth and is good conductor
the other pole is of an open and porous nature
and not good conductor; consequently, the
natural and unnatural poles make q nat
ural disturbance, making it the most sensitive
transmitter possible to make. The transmission
is made by the disturbance of the electrical
current at the poles by opening and closing the
circuit (as is the case in telegraphy), which is
done in his system by simply speaking against
the diaphragm, which causes the current to
open at every sound uttered against it,

however, very little Of the Morrison bill. 1t
provides for reduction of certain taxes modi-

les the principal features of measure proposed
by Secretary Manning, to lessen litigation aris-
ing from the collection of customs in disputed
cases. 1t places lumber, salt, coal ores, wool
and few other articles on the free list The
opinion is expressed by Democratic members

Gold and Silver Coinage.

Demorest's Monthly in speaking
of Gold and Silver says:
The English Government has
appointed a royal commission to
inquire into the propriety of res
toring silver to its former posi-
ton, as a measure of values, in
connection with gold. Bimetal-
ism, it will be remembered, was
the rule of the commercial world
for nearly seventy : five years.
What is meant is, that the ma
iority of the leading nations
agreed to permit free coinage of
gold and silver, at a ratio of ff-
teen and half parts of the white
metal to one of the yellow. The
only leading nation which made
gold the sole standard of values
was Great Britain. Since 1916
every debt due a British subject
was payable in London in gold
But ON the Cotinent and in the
United States the payment could
be made in silver as well as gold.
When Germany, after the war,
e1acted billion of dollars from
France, the latter was forced to
pay in gold, and Germany took
advantage of this payment to fol
low the example of England, and
made gold the sole unit of value.
Denmark, Scandinavia, Italy, and
for time the United States, fol-
lowed the example of Germany,
and the result was that gold in
creased in purchasing power,
which fact showed its self in the
cheapening of every article the
value of which gold measured
This included silver. The result
has been very great distress in
the business world, as no one
liked to produce goods on falling
market. The United States
partially remonetized silver, and,
because of that fact, has enjoyed
better times than has Europe
India, that has an exclusively
silver currency, has been terribly
distressed, because it has had tc
pay its debts to England in gold,
and the rate of exchange has been
ruinous. This is why England is
taking steps to remonetize silver,
and so check the runious fall in
prices. Should this be accomplish
ed, financiers predict new era Of
prosperity for the whole world.

Ed. GRAPHIC: As the s'second

visited our town Saturday evening,
but no serious damage was done
so far as we can learn.

Presiding Elder, J. 2. Nolen, is
present, as is the preacher in

Two new dwelling houses are
just being completed here, and
the town is experiencing some
thing ola "boom."
Brashear boasts of two butcher
shops now, and can furnish plenty
of the nutritious nourishment at
the lowest figures.
/ Farmers are in pretty good
spirits down here, and say that the
grass is going to keep their stock
for several weeks, and consequent
ly save much of their feed, which
they would have been compelled
to have used soon, if it had not
been for the late rains.
The Literary at the Academy
last Friday evening, was splendid,
and speaks well for the school.
The President and Vice Presi-
dent are determined to stop the
use of tobacco, in the Academy
Hall during exercises, andwe hope
they will.
It is shame how some of the
young men in and around town ex.
pectorate upon the floor. Such
men, and boys as these should moi
be permitted to come into the Hall
and the proprietors are justified IL
keeping them out.

To the Voters of Missouri Without
Regard to Their Politics.

The people of many of the coun-
ties in Missouri are deeply interest
ed In the adoption of the following
amendment to the State constitu-
ton; and the remaining counties
cannot be injured by the amend
ment, seeing that county courts
will have the matter wholly in
their control:
SECTION l. In addition to the
taxes to be levied for county and
city purposes, under and by virtue
of section (11) eleven of article
(1O) ten of the constitution of this
State, the county courts of the
several counties of this State are
authorized to levy, for road and
bridge purposes, an additional tax,
not to exceed (15) fifteen cents on
each one hundred dollars of valu-
alton, and the city of st. Louis is
authorized to levy for street pur-
poses an additional tax, not to ex-
ceed (15) fifteen cents on each one
hundred dollars of valuation.
The rate herein allowed is to be
levied and collected the same as
other taxes for county and city
purposes, and subject to all exist
ing constitutional restrictions as
to valuation of property.
