tiplying device, a minute siphon pen
which drinks ink from a small basin
and taps an ever-moving strip of paper
so rapidly as to make its little dots
seem to be a continuous line This line
is drawn straight along the strips Of
paper when no message is coming, but
when dot is sent across the ocean the
pen swings upward, and when dash is
made it swings downward. By these
ups and downs the practiced receiving
operator reads the message. An up.
ward and a downward stroke form the
letter A; downward and three upward
strokes form 3, and SO on. The Con-
tinental telegraphic alphabet is used.
Suppose an Atlantic cable should
break! Would they have to go out and
search along the line of it until they
found the fracture? Bless you, no; that
would be more of a job than the laying
Of new cable. They know a trick
worth two Of that. They could sit
comfortably in either of their terminal
offices and locate the break in ten min
utes If the cable were severed so that
the copper core were exposed a conuec-
ton would instantly be formed with
the earth at the bottom of the sea, and
the operator at either terminus would
have only to measure the resistance Of
his circnit to know precisely how much
cable lay between him and the ground
connection. If the break were of such
a character that the core remained in
sulated, the operator would find his
circuit broken. Now, to make the mat
ter plain, let US suppose the cable to be
a tube capable Of holding a pint of
water to the foot. If he poured five
hundred pints of water into it and it
were filed, he would know that the OBJ
struction was FIVE hundred feet from his
end of the tube. Well, the cable is q
conductor capable of holding, let US
say, pint of electricity to the mile.
What is the difference whether we call
it pints of electricity or volts or ohms
of resistance? It is the same principle
of meas urement.

he said: 'Me alice safe now, Mclean

There is no question of the truthful
ness of the charges. We have official
documents from attorneys general,
auditors generals, cOmptrOllers and
clerks of courts of the state of New
York, given under their official seals,
all of which give positive proof that
George T. Anthony was defaulter to
the school fund of the state of New
York.-Leavenworth Times, (Republi-
CAM
charge then George L. Anthony, the
republican candidate for congressman
at large in Kansas, should sue this pa
per and hundreds of other papers in
Kansas which have published the
charge, for criminal libel. If the charge
is true, then Kansas would be immeas-
urably disgraced should she send such
a rascal to congress. The republican
party is indeed in sore straits when it
dominates for such an exalted position
as congressman one who appropriated
to his, own use the monies of state
which were collected in taxes from the
people to educate their children. Will
the Register, Tribune, Blade, Dispatch,
Banner and Leader please explain to
the people why Geo. T. Anthony does
not clear his skirts of the charge, or if
he does not do SO, why they advocate
his election? If Kansas republicans
have no better men to represent them
in congress than disreputable rene
gade from another state, then Kansas
republicans are indeed hard up. The
public awaits "vindication.'

Everybody is breaking prairie.

horse of Hance Carsten one day last
week.

ments to meet at Ullery's grove to
commemorate children s day.
One of the sadest events that has
occurred in this neighborhood lately
was the death of Miss Nettie Dinwid-
die at her home in Clarence township,
Friday morning, May Goth. She had
been ill for some time. and quick con-
sumption was the cause of her death.
She was the daughter of Mr.. Louis
Dinwiddie. She was truly dutiful
child. a loving and affectionate sister,
and a kind and generous friend; she
leaves an aged father, three brothers
and one sister to mourn her death. On
Sunday the remains were taken to the
Everett cemetery, where attended by
a large crowd of sorrowing re atives
and friends, the last solemn rites were
performed and the remains were locked
in the embrace of old mother earth.
The family have the deep sympathy OF
all.

1t is natural with all piano pupils,
particularly those that have had les
sons from eight months to one year, to
sometime find their music lessons and
exercises dry, get discouraged as well
as their parents, and want to give them
up. The best medicine in such cases
to tone up the musical system is a
lively, taking little piece and one they
will be sure to like. "Whisperings of

If THE peoples party of Kansas could
elect any man for governor this fall it
would be John N. Ives, the present at
torney general. But they won't nomi-
nate him-Armstrong says Ives must
not run for governor-and that settles
it. If Ives should be nominated, why
hen Armstrong would fight him-be-
cause he was democrat, and of course
he could not be elected without the sup
port of the Great Bend Beacon.

Who Paws the TARIFF

Mr.. Eppstein of this city showed us
a letter from Mr.. q. FL. Evans, for
merly miller here, but now OF Old
Mexico. in which Mr.. Evans ordered
five pairs of shoes. He writes that ne
will have ian additional price to pay
when the shoes come into Mexico-the
Mexican duty, or tariff"
Suppose Mr.. Eppstein's price for the
five pairs of shoes is $40; that MI.
Evans pays Eppsteln. Then supposing
the Mexican tariff is 81 pair; Evans
pays SIS more, making the shoes cost
him S15. II there is seven year old
school boy in Great Bend who cannot
figure out that Evans or his family
.'pay the tariff" and not tue manufac-
turer, or exporter, or anybody else,
then that seven year old kid ought to
be sent to an asylum for imbeciles.
And yet, the republican party has been
teaching for years that 1.-THE consumer
does not pay the tariff" The tariff is
a tax, and paid by the consumer, and
by nobody else. Supposing the locations
were reversed in the case sighted, and
that Evans was in America and wanted
to buy shoes from Eppstein in Mexico.
If the American tariff was ST. pair
Evans would pay just SIS more for his
shoes just the same. 90
Will any high tariff republican dare
deny the proof herein given? And how
much longer will the people of thi:
country be fooled into believing thai
the exporter, the importer. the manu-
facturers, Or anybody but the consumes
pays the tariff?
