Leaving Many Cnpa1d Bills.
Fort Dodge. Jan. 81 Something of a
sensation was created here yesterday by
the mysterious disappearance of David
Robinson. landlord of the Union Hotel.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
several thousand dollars of unpaid debts
and carefully planned departure ex-
piained his absence. His departure was
evidently carefully planned. as his wife
and daughter We're sent away last week
to destination kept secret, and it de-
vsloped later that Robinson's affairs
We're in bad shape. All the furniture and
fixtures We're mortgaged and he owed all
the merchants in the city. His financial
affairs are heavily involved and the
matter occasions much comment, as the
absconding hotel man has heretofore
been highly respected.
At the regular meeting of the city
council last evening a committee, con-
sisting of the mayor and several pronli-
rent citizens, was appointed to take
Charge of the construction of the new
library building to be built the coming
season The committee was given power
20 select the plans and supervise the
work of construction until completed.

preparations for this test. He had equip ped his Cornwall station with an electric force hundred times greater than he had ever had in station, Before ne leit Itr gland he arranged with the electrician in charge of the station which Is at Poldhu, to begin sending signals daily after a certain date which he would ca ble him upon making his arrangements to receive them on the Newfoundland shore. December Marconi cabled1 his electrician to begin sending signals. at 3 o'clock in the afternoon daily, and to continue them until 6 o'clock in. the even ing. these hours being respectively from Il 30 to 2:30 o'clock. St. Johns's time.
 On Thursday Marconi elevated Kite with an aerial wires by means Of wnich signals are sent or received. He remained at the recorder attached to the receiving apparatus and succeeded in receiving the signals distinctly. These were sent with such frequency and well in accord with the cabled instructions that Marconi was satisfied with the success of the eXper- iment receiving exactly what he had ex- pected to receive. the lettr repeated over and over. The sender which launche1 them from the Cornwall clif was Z,VVO tance any wireless message had ever bee.l sent and received before. but Marconl was sure there could be no mistake He had arranged the test with all the thor oughness characteristic of the man, ana the results had been perfect.
 Having no electric battery sufnclentiy powerful to return messages to his Cornwall station, Sig. Marconi IS now on his way to England to send messages with his own hands, leaving assistants to receive them in Newfoundland. In this wise will he make doubly sure
 The kite carrying the receiver Tn New foundland was elevated 400 feet. The sig nals were only obtained when the Kite was up a considerable distance. At the time the experiments were made the wind blew too hard for balloons, wnicn Marconi intended using.
 Sig, Marconi says the success or ms Newfoundland tests will alter his plans He intends to suspend tests with kites and hellons for a short time, and will erect at a cost of $50,000 signal station having sufficient electrical power and towers or masts to support the wires: ne hopes to have in a few months dlrec' system of wireless telegraphy between America and Europe. He has orsanlze0 a company for the commercial maInte nance of these stations. His company decided a year ago to put up two very cry large stations, at a cost Of about S'o,VVt each, at Cape Cod, Mass, and near the lizard in Cornwall England, the object heinz to ascertain how much an appilca- tion of a large amount of power Will III, crease the distance that may be brlogeo with wireless telegraphy.
 The stations in Cornwall and Massa chusetts were partially built thls year hut have since suffered severely py storms, the Cape Cod station oeing aaIn aeed recently, and the Cornwall stattor heinz practically destroyed last Septem her. These stations consisted or heaVy machinery and twenty poles each, these holes heinz 21O feet high and support yer ticaI wires.
