One OF the prime essentials of N army
in motion IS that it shall have communi
cation with ifs base OF supplies. When a
general can send for field guns, reserve
ammunition or supporting regiments at
any hour Of the day or night. he IS safe
in moving forward. When he can no
longer communicate with such a base, it
is time for him to go slowly.
10 make this communication swift and
cure the army of today strings behind it,
as it advances on the enemy, a line Of
telegraph wires. Over these the COM
mander of a division can talk with his
corps commander, receive instructions
and information and send requests for
what he needs, whether It be men, mu-
nitions or canned tomatoes. The tele-
graph forms the ears of an army; also its
tongue.
The corps which General Butler is get
ting into shape in South Africa is amply
equipped with means Of communication
He has with him what is known in the
British army as the Telegraph battalion.
It IS a full regiment. LOO strong, aud
each man has had long and careful train
ing DIT AldershOt.
Ordinarily the building of a telegraph
line is an undertaking requiring months
to accomplish. But the army telegrapher
reckons time by hours. He goes into the
field at a gailop. Behind Elm on wag-
ons loaded with reels Of wire and poles.
These poles are not the cumbersome
wooden affairs with crossbars which we
usually see. They are light, hollow iron
rods, with a single glass insulator at one
end and a sharp point on the other. A
muscular thrust serves to plant the pole.
Then comes a horse, with a wire reel
strapped to his back in such a way that
the wire pays out. Behind him comes 4
telegraph trooper, who picks up the wire
and, with no other platform than the sad
die on his horses back, stands up and
fastens the line to the insulator with q
few dexteFeus moves Of the pliers.
At this rate several miles Of wire can
be strung in an hour. In fact, the army
linemen keep paeewith the advance Of the

brother Of the Earl Of Durham, is a very
young officer for his rank, for he has only
just passed his ~fcrty-third birthday. He
joined the service in 1870 and became
captain ii 1889. His promotion to be
commander was granted for his services
at the bo~Inbardnaent Of Alexandria. He

LEGATION, but IL he did it did not deter him
from visiting his old haunts, for In a few
days he was at Churubusco, a little town
in northern Indiana and neal to the home
of his parents in Noble county, where he
contemplated going. On his way to
Churubusco he passed through Fort
Wayne, spent several hours there and
was seen and recognized by several per-
sons who knew him and knew Of the re-
ward that was offered for his capture,
but he left before the officers were ap-
prised Of his psesence in the city.
George s. Viberg was then sheriff at
Fort Wayne. As soon as he learned that
Kuhns had been In town he felt confident
that he was Oh his way to Churubusco
and Immediately formed W. posses Of Of

busco to apprehend and arrest the des-

The party, in which were Deputy Sher-

Air WARsHIP.


New and Terrible Fighting Machine
Made In Germany.
Count Won Zeppelin OF the German ar
my believes and Major Baden-Powell,
the British army authority, agrees that
he has solved the great problem Of war
balloons in the gigantic aluminium arr
ship just completed and now ready to be
tested.
For almost 80 years he worked at the
problem. utilizing his own large means
and the scientific advice Of the leading
German thinkers. One of his chief diff
culties was to secure a propeller that
would be effective in the air. He at last
succeeded in making one which, when at
tached to a balloon and reyolyed in the
air, drove it along at the rate of nine
miles an hour.
After this success he called a meeting
Of scientists and capitalists in Berlin
last year, whea d company was formed,
with a capital of 100000, for the build
ing of the airship. Half Of this sum
was subscribed by the count himself as
proof Of his faith il his invention, and
the German government experts gave
their approval Of his design.
The Zeppelin flying machine has been
constructed in a special building, 455 feet
4OIEt 4 . 4CCl VI A&C R-0 "
most the length of two city blocks and as
high as a fotsr story house.
On entering. the visitor sees a tremen-
dous skeleton of aluminium wires. This
huge device is 406 feet long and 80 feet
in diameter in the center. The frame
work is made of aluminium bars, form
ing d sided polygons, Joined firmly to-
gether by longitudinal strips of the same
metal and all firmly braced by L shaped
braces. The large ~polygonal rings are
% feet apart and are braced IN addition
by numberless strong strands Of aluminl-
UNI wire, running from a central small
circle, giving the effect Of a huge bicycle
wheel or a series of them
The result of this construction is that
the great airship is divided into IL COM
partments, firmly connected and yet sep
arate.
The plan is to put a balloon into each
of these compartments. These balloons
are to supply the buoyancy which keeps
the ship in the air. The idea in dividing
the balloons is to prevent an accident
from disabling the ship and causing the
death of its navigators. The separation
into compartments also makes it possible
to give the ship the shape best adapted
for overcoming the resistance Of the air
in its motion.
The balloons are to be filed with hy-
drogen gas from retorts already in place
on the pontoons. There will be about
$4,000 cubic feet of gas in the whole
ship. 1t is admitted by all scientists that
the lifting power of so much hydrogen
gas will be ten tons. The weight of the
ship, cars and machinery will be only
about four tons.
The inventor relies upon the fact that
every body in motion ought to be easily
steered. This has not been the case hith-
erto with airships, for several reasons.

phia, Baltimore and London. Mr.. Baker
is president of the company. The ships
are owned by Americans, but are sailed
under the British flag because they can
be constructed and operated more cheap
ly than under the stars and stripes. The
head Office of the company is at Balti-
more.
Mr.. Baker states that he offered the
vessel to the British government through
an appreciation of the protection offered
his ships while under the British flag.
The Maine is a steel steamer 316 feet
long, 40 feet wide and 291a feet depth Of
hold. She registers 2,7S0 tons gross and
was built in West Hartlepool, England,
In 1887. She has triple expansion en-
gines and six bulkheads. Captain Fred
erick Stone Is her master. Il Is calculat-
ed that the Maine will accommodate fully
500 patients. She Is constructed OF iron
and ranks among the best of her class
She is valued at about 100000.
Mr.. Baker Is one of the first citizens in
the business and social life of Baltimore,
and he Is described as not only a great
fnancier, but a hustler" He received
the news Of the loss of the steamship
Michigan on the Manacles in the English
channel by long distance telephone at
midnight at his country home in Cations
vile, a suburb ten miles from Baltimore.
He deemed it his duty to go at once to
the scene of the great wreck. He hastily
packed up a few ~valises, ordered out his
team and drove to Baltimore, reaching
the city about 2 In the morning. He
chartered q special locomotive and car to
carry him TO New York. he reached
there at s o'clock in the morning and at 9
was on the deck Of a six day steamer
which was pulling out from her pier and
headed for Europe.
When Spain and the United States be-
gan hostilities, Mr.. Baker lent the Mis-
souri, to this government under the same
conditions on which the Maine has been
lent to Great Britain. She was oper-
ated by her regular officers and crew at
an expense of thousands Of dollars every
month for nine months. Between Au-
gust, 1893, and May, 1889, she carried
1856 wounded and sick soldiers from Gu
ba and Porto Rico to the United States.
Twenty-seyen died during the voyages,
and IL were buried at sea, but hundreds
were saved.
The navy department having made a
regular hospital ship Of the Missouri, the
government purchased her last June, and
she is now on her way to Manila TO bring
home the Ill and injured.
Lady Randolph Churchill, who goes to
Cape Town on the Maine, says Of the en-
terprise: "The Maine is to be essentially

Captain c. X. Burg has ordered court

and Monte Moore. the three Guards who
are TO be domiciled in the county jail for
the next twenty days for robbing Sing
Lees store, on Silver avenue, OF its sup.
ply OF fireworks, last Wednesda, night.
The captain has also ordered court
martial for Private Passmore. against
whom charges have been preferred for
disgraceful conduct aud conduct unbe-
coming soldier, during the recent re-
union in Las Vegas.
Captain Burg has named the remain
lag members Of the company to sit ~ q
court martial In the cases. Passmore
will probably have his hearing within
the next ten days. The other three will
not be tried until their Jail sentence has
expired, when they will have an oppor-
tunity to defend themselves from the
charges against them IL they desire TO do
30.
Captain Burg is to be commended for
taking such prompt action in this dis
graceful matter. The hoodlums must be
weeded out of the company, IL the
Guards are to hold the respect Of the
community in times OF peace or war, for
the rowdies in peace are not generally
the heroes OF war.
