vantages of tri-city communication.
1t seems that all points have now
been disposed of bnt reduction of rates
to bring the service up to the stand
ard of that provided in cities of the
size of Rock Island. The majority OF
the local speakers agreed last night
that the service had been greatly i'm
proved in all respects since the COM
pletion of the outside Encouragement
of the equipment under the direction
Of Assistant Superintendent Riders ard
the changes in the local office by Su-
perintendent Matloek.
Now it remains to be seen what will
be accomplished by the committee in
its investigation and conference with
exports and representatives of the
Central Union. Mr.. Carney said he
would be glad of the opportunity to
attend the investigation. He was will
ing that the committee employ an ex-
pert in its behalf, permit him to de-
lend the company, and the committee
act as judge and jury.
MI. Carney an Interesting Man.
Gen. Manager Carney, of the Cen
trail Union Telephone company, who
addressed the Rock Island Club last
evening on the problems, the posi-
bilities and the science of telephony,
is one of those examples of self-de-
yeloped genius, the bringing out of
which in every walk of life in this
country has astonished the world.
Mr.. Carney, in the 20 years that he
has been with the Central Union Tel
ephone company, has risen from
actually the lowest found in tele-
phonic construction and development
to the, highest station in the COM
pany's employ, as far as practical
operation goes, that of gener-
al manager, an Office second
only to that of the president of the
corporation. When telephones were
discovered Mr.. Carney was following
his trade, that of mechanic. He
saw in the new system of transmits
sion of sound wondrous possibilities,
and he applied for position with the
company. He was put to work
digging postholes. He started in
bravely, applied himself diligently.
acquiring what knowledge he could
of electrical science, and educating
himself generally as he went along,
until he advanced gradually step by
step to the position he now occupies.
And he is still a young man. All who
heard him last night were profoundly
impressed, not only with his thorough
familiarity with all that pertains to
the mechanical. scientific and COM
merc:al features of telephone devel-
opm Mt, but with his polish as a
speaker. As the majority of the club
members agreed, at the close of the
meeting, it was as good as a lecture
on a great scientific problem. And
while Mr.. Carney did not so dazzle
his hearers with glittering generalities
as 10 sway them from the purpose
that il was set out to accomplish, he
threw a flood of light on the subject
that is SO agitating the local public
that was refreshing in the extreme,
and regardless of what may be the flu
ture course in the the relations of the
people of Rock Island and the tele-
phone company now installed here,
there will be ne eSease, in view of the
Suggestions Mr.. Carney put forth, for
others than the most intelligent ac-

TEMPTING THE BOYS.

Editor Gazette: IL is reported
that recently while the boys of
A. & M. College were at their
meals a merchant sent a negro
around and gave each boy a pack
of smoking tobacco as an adver-
tisement. The next move, | sup
pose, will be for some enterprise
ing liquor dealer to send around
and present each boy with flask
of ssOld Bourbon, and inform
the boys where more of the good
~ stuff can be had at low rate.
1t does seem to this writer to be
Inconsistent to say the least Of it,
that after these boys have been
taught in the public schools the
evils Of the tobacco habit, for a
dealer in tobacco to be allowed to
invade state institution and try
to seduce the boys under their
care TO indulge in the habit.
Surely this thing was done
without the knowledge of Gov.
Stone. Could not Elds. Scar
borough and Schilling give this
act some attention? Bro. Scar
borough could go at the offender
with mud on his horns and busi-
ness in his eyes. Bro. SchilIing
could use both ends of his gun
on him, while Memo could swal-
low him down with his turnip
greens. Let up on each other
gentlemen, long enough to attack
the common enemy. rGridley, !,

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

Editor Gazette; -On Wednes-
day, October Is, Bro. S. Rey.
nolds was 72 years OF age. This
day was appropriately celebrated
by the assembling of his children
and grand children at the old
family home, where pleasant
social time was had and where a
fine turkey was enjoyed. II is
fitting TO thus honor one who has
made a long voyage over the
stromy sea Of life and who has
been faithful TO his country. Bro.
Reynolds is one Of the remaining
few who wore the gray and who
fought and suffered in defense Of
Southern rights. And the mem-
cries Of the war are still sacred
with him, although the cause he
served was lost.
Life has had for him many
trielsand losses, but amidst them
all he hes remained staunch
and liberal supporter in the cause
OF christianity.
For number Of years he has
taken great interest in education-
tional matters, being identified
with the Gillsburg Collegiate In
stitute, as president Of the Board
OF Trustees. During the long
journey Of his married life his
good wife now enfeebled by the
weight OF years, has been strong
stay and help.
May the Divine blessing con-
tinue with this aged couple and
their family. T. G. s.

when after a run OF three miles
the British vessel broke her top
mast in the gale and the Column
bia was again victor, Ms it had
been previously signed up that
no allowance could be made for

one of build and endurance, as

All the races have been gov
erned by the rule Of the best

ran the third race under stiff
sea, and a 25 mile breeze. The
run was well contested. On the
10 mile run out against the wind
the Columbia turned the outer
stake only IL seconds ahead, but
gained all the way home on the
Britisher, beating her five min
utes and over, and thus holding
the old cup in United States this
year, and winning again in the
struggle, with Old Glory still tri-
umphant in stormy sea and
leaving the whole Yankee nation
shouting the word victory.

jury then presented Thomas JEFF.
ferson, president of the United
States. for high crime and misde-
meanor for issuing his proelama- !
ton warning the people Of the
United States against becoming
in any manner connected with the
expedition against Mexico, which
was in process of organization
under the auspices of Burr. They
presented Cowles Meade, acting
governor, for calling outthe milf
tia to obstruct the passage Of Col.
Burr in his descent of the Mis-.
sissippi river. They presented
Gen. Poindexter and Wm. b.
Shields for having visited Col.
Burr at his boats. and moro es-
pecially for having exacted from
him written surrender to the
civil authorities of Mississippi
territory; and, having nothing
more to present, they walked into
court, delivered their papers. and
we're discharged without waiting
for the thanks of the court Tor the
fidelity with which they had dis
charged the arduous labors con-
fided to them.
Our readers will enjoy the fol-
lowing, copied from Memoirs of
Jefferson Davis, by Mrs. Davis:
An appeal TO the humorous
side Of his nature is almost ire :
sistable. as instanced by the fol-
lowing note received during
one Of the darkest and most
trying periods Of the war:
Dear Mr.. President: want you
to let Jeems c., of Company
IOneth, South Carolina regiment,
come home and get married.
Jeems is willin, his nanny says
she is willin, but Jeems' captain
he says he amt willin. Now
when we are all willin cep'n Jeems'
captain, think you might let up
and let Jeems come. I'll make
him 60 straight back when he s
done got married, and fight just
as hard as ever.
Your affectionate friend --.
MIR. Davis wrote on the back OF
the letter, "Let Jeems GO" And
thus CLEAN of happiness was
shed on the dark war clouds.
Jeems returned promptly to his
command. and proved that he
was no less force in war because
he was tender in his love for a
true woman.

of being probably the only city i'll the
United States which has tollgate
within its boundaries or anywhere near
it, for that matter The old days of toll
roads and tollgates have passed away,
and it is we'll that they have. The COM
pany which maintains the Deerfield gate
has a legal status that cannot be done
away with without the consent of those
who own the property. The last legisla-
ture passed an enabling act which makes
it possible for the parties interested to
do away with the tollgate, and it is

authorities may properly be directed -
