WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.

Wireless telegraphy seems to be max
ing steady and rapid progress toward
real usefulness. Some very striking ex-
periments have just been conducted in
England between two stations thirty
miles apart, one near Poole in Dorset
and the other near ST GATHERINGS in the
Isle of Wight At these places are
Marconi's latest appliances, so adjusted
that each receiver at one station re-
spends only to it's corresponding trans
mitter at the other. The other day two
operators at st. GATHERINGS were in
structed to send simultaneously two
different wireless messages to Poole,
and without delay or mistake the two
were correctly recorded and printed
down at the same time in Morse signals
on the tapes of the two corresponding
receivers at Poole. In this demonstra-
ton each receiver was connected to Its
own independent aerial wire hung from
the same mast. Mr.. Marconi then
placed the receivers at Poole, one on the
top of the other, and connected them
both to one and the same wire, about
forty feet in length, attached to a
mast. Two messages were then sent at
the same moment by the operators at
St. GATHERINGS one in English and the
other in French. Without failure each
receiver at Poole rolled out its paper
tape, the message in English perfect on
one and that in French on the other
Later on messages were received from
a transmitter thirty miles away and re-
corded by an instrument in closed
room merely by the aid of zinc cylln-
der, four feet high placed on chair.
While these experiments have been pro-
ceeding between Poole and st. Gather
ines others have been taking place for
the British Admiralty between Ports
mouth and Portland, these lines of COM
munication intersecting each other; yet
so perfect is the independence that
nothing done on one circuit now affects
the other unless desired.

BRY4N IN NEBR .ISK4.

When a man can't carry his own
ward he isn't thought to be much IN
politics, and if Mr.. Bryan fails to carry
Nebraska this time he might as well
hang UP his fiddle and his bow. The
talk that he will fail grows in volume
and definiteness. One of the latest and
most impressive predictions is that OF
Speaker Henderson, who has been MAX
ing speeches in Nebraska and says that
Bryan will lose the State. He says: To
my mind there is not a shadow of doubt
of Mr.. McKinley's reelection. I have
been travelling through Nebraska, Mr..
Bryans own State, for some days. de-
livering campaign speeches, and l
want to say to you that the State Is
solidly Republican Nebraska is as
surely Republican as the State of Iowa.
If Bryan doesn't carry Nebraska he
wont be president, United States sena-
tor, or anything except Bryan.

An Ahnrtginnl Blnck Sheep.

Sitting In his smoke-stained tepee
On a pile Of epidermis
Snatcned from off the game he hunted
Sat the cheftain Skins-the- Beaver
Wrestling with an inward sorrow,
Wrestling with 1t catch-as- cateh-can.
Signs came winging from his bosom,
Chased by groans somewhat sepulchral,
And the eyes once used for seeing
Now were utilized as spillways
For his teardrops to escape through!
ON an upturned soap box near MIN
With his face cloaked in compassion
Sat the reservation chaplain,
Who had come to see II prayer
And a hymn or two soft warbled
Wouldn't calm his rutiied spirits.
In voice that worked real badly
One that had sustained fracture
Skins-the- Beaver thus addressed him;
"Naught that you can say, good pafsoh,
Not hymn you may unprison
From its cage within your bosom,
Can relieve the hungry torture
That is fiercely eating at me!
When my son was yet an infant
Strapped between his mothers shoulders
Striving hard to crawl round nearer
10 the commissary quarters
| began to paint his future,
Bright, and warranted fast colors,
On the canvas of ambition.
He would be dreaded warrior,
As his father was before him,
Be fighting man from way back!
Scalps enough to stuff mattress,
Or to pad a paleface woman,
Would be dangling from his g1rdle,
And the echoes Of his war-whoop
Ringing through the hills and valleys
Would strike seven kinds of terror
To xhe ears of every paleface
Who was not real hard of hearing!
As he grew to noble manhood
| observed with much misgiving
That he aped the styles and customs
OF the tenderfooted whiteskins!
Hid the limbs so strongly muscled
In threedollar worsted trousers,
Wore a striped shirt, hand-polished,
And collar and a necktie
Loud enough to wake the baby,
And he learned to play draw poker
And to smoke the cigarita
And inhale its deadly vapor!
Then he wandered from his people,
To Hardserabble, Pitkin county,
Care of Lock Box Al.
And the awful news has reached me
That the last great blow Is coming!
That the people soon will send him
To the Denver Legislature
On the Democratic ticket
Leave me, parson! Leave me! Leave mt
For fain would use some language
Quite impromptu and unstudied
That might CRATE with cruel harshness
On your gentle Christian nature!
Leave me, for | feel it coming,
And all Helena, Montana,
Couldn't stop it with a cannon!"

IN IMPORTANT PUBLIC MATTER

IN IMPORTANT PUBLIC MATTER
There was a rather lively meeting Of
the Board of Finance last evening, and
among the questions that came up for
discussion was the question of allowing
the public to know what goes on in the
meetings of the Board. This question
was thoroughly and warmly discussed,
and when the vote was taken in regard
to holding some particular meetings IN
public Mayor Driscoll, Controller Rowe
and Mr.. Dewell voted in favor of pub
licity. Messrs. Curtis, Wright, Wheeler
and Atwood voting against 1T. In ad-

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
In your editorial entitled Still 1x-
pandng" in the Courier of October
16th l note that you give some figures
regarding the excess of exports over
imports and then draw the conclusion
that such an excess is a good thing and
is making of the United States a big
creditor nation" | also note that this
same idea is advanced in the Repub-
lcan platform and in Mr.. McKinley's
letter of acceptance. AS neither OF
these documents give all the figures in
regard to this important matter, alto
gether too much is left for conjecture,
and we find people drawing the most
unwarrantable differences and arriving
at the most illogical conclusions be-
cause they have never examined the
whole of the facts.

sion, give a brief statement of our for
eign trade during Mr.. McKinley's adj
ministration in the same way an ordi-
nary business man would make re-
port. The figures are as follows:

Mayor F. M. Nichols of Wilkesbarre,
Pennsylvania, in an address of welcome
at a recent State convention in that
city of the Directors of the Poor and
Charities advanced some sensible ideas
on the solution of the problem of poor
relief. He thought no better of poor
house because it is called an almshouse,
and he would raze all structures OF that
character substituting for them what
he called industrial villages, where
the poor would be required to work, and
would be largely self-supporting, In
these villages he would have modest
and comfortable homes for all whose
circumstances did not absolutely COM
pei a different treatment. For all the
others boarding houses and hospitals
would be provided. Those occupying
the homes and boarding houses he
would require to maintain themselves,
and for that purpose he would assign
to each a certain allotment of land for
cultivation, the products of the same
necessary to his support to be con-
sumed by himself, and the surplus, II
any, sold to the boarding houses and
hospitals.
