Emirration TO the West.

If you have friends in the east who con-
template coming west, or if you are going
east, remember you can save time and
money likewise your friends, by buying
tickets over the Missouri Pacific railway
the shortest line between St. Louis and
Wichita by IS miles and over. Two hours
the quickest time This is the only line
giving you choice of two routes, either via
Kansas City or Fort Scott. Elegant free
reclining chair cars between Wichita and
St Louis, also between Kansas City and
Wichita without change of cars. Pull
man sleepers on all trains. Be sure that
your tickets read via the Missouri Pacific
railway and thus save annoyance of
changing cars and unnecessary delays.
Remember also that no charges are made
by pOrters for riding in chair cars. These
porters are paid by Jhe company and are
not allowed TO charge any one, be they
local or through passengers. They are
hired TO attend 10 the wants of the travel
ing public.

No ONE should entertain for mo-
rasnt the idea that the candidates who
indorsed the plat orm last night, oe-
lieve a word OF what they indorsed OF
the Mormon plank. 1t is customary
to make a candidate swallow a little
medicine before starting him off on a
strange journey. Nearly all the can
didates on the county ticket are warm
personal friends Of the Mormons liv-
ing IN this county and have nothing
but the best wishes for their prosper

Whether we shall ever be able to see
our friends at a distance, as we now talk
with them, is something for the science
of the future to determine, but ii we
ever do so it will doubtless be through
the mysterious connection between light,
electricity and the element selenium.
Selenium belongs to what is known as
the sulphur group of elements. 1t is
remarkable for the wonderful property
by which its electrical conductivity va
ries according to the amount of light
falling upon it, just as the chemical re-
lations of silver are altered by the same
means.
By this singular property OF selenium
Professor Bell was enabled to construct
All optical telephone, and actually trans
mitted words and sentences between
two distant points which were not con-
nected in any way except by beam OF
light, which faithfully carried the vibra-
tions of his voice to selenium disk, by
which they were transformed into cleo
trio energy and reproduced in an ordi
nary telephone. Companion.
