about on hundred miles above Stanley Pool.
whence forty-odd steamers, now in service on the
upper Congo, start up the river on their various
routes, which cover a considerable part Of the
1900 miles Of nayigable waterways.
At present, owing 10 the feebleness Of the electric
current, II Is impossible 20 talk over the wire the
whole distance between Bona and Kwamouth.
The voices are heard between the two points but
the words are not be distinguished. II is necessary
therefore, 10 relay the telephone message at Tumba
about two-thirds Of the way from Bona. This
delays the cen versation but very little and in ten

Gratis who called upon him shortly

City, Candidate Bryan said:
eff we lose, our children and

succeed to that song, My Country,
'Tis of Thee Celebrations of the
Fourth of July will pass away,
for the spirit Of empire will be
upon u.s."
That was what we heard all
through the campaign of 1896.
If Bryan was not elected, the loom
of the universe was to be employ
ed turning out crepe for the wear
inc of all Christendom; if free
silver was not endorsed the stars
were to fall, the moon fade away,
the sun refuse to shine, and all
nature was to fail in the perform
ance of it's accustomed functions;
if gold was made the money of the
country, trade was to cease, COM
merce waste be paralyzed; the
farmer was to be enslayed and
liberty was to become q dream; if
Mckinley was elected disaster was
to accompany his Inauguration;
