NEW WIRELESS UNDERGROUND @
TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE

London. Oct. PA formidable rival
of the London Marconi system prom
ises to invade the field of wireless tel
egraphy. This is the ArmOral system
for electrical transmission of energy
by which effects similar to Marconfs
system. with several additions. can be
transmitted without the aid of wires.
Ariel Orling. IL young Swede, is the dis
coverer of this novel development of
electrical science, and associated with
him is j. Y. Armstrong, an English
electrician, at whose country residence
in Buckinghamshire experiments have
been in progress for the past year. the
result of which is that they submitted
to n demonstration yesterday.
Briefly, the new system. besides
transmitting ordinary dot and dash
messages. will carry sound like the
telephone and will carry energy sufli-
cient to steer a torpedo. all the time
under control of the operator, besides
doing away with the necessity for the
tall poles used in the Marconi system.
The whole mechanism ut each end is
not more bulky than the ordinary tele-
graph instrument. while the only in
stallatlon required consists of sticking
two ends of ground wires into the
earth. whereOn the apparatus is ready
to receive or to transmit messages.
Perhaps the most unearthly expert
ment was telephoning to distant tent

BISON KILLING CASE
AT LEADVILLE FAILS

Denver. Oct. 2O-A Republicn spe-
cial from Leadville yesterday says:
State Game Warden Harris of Den
yer, who has been working so faithful
ly on the case against the Bartlett
brothers and others, for slaughtering
bison. received an unexpected shock
which resulted in the dismissal of the
case in the District Court to-day.
Frank A. Bartlett, c. \. Bartlett. ].
Il. Webb and w. Il. Mcclure We're the
defendants in the case. The latter was
not supposed to have had anything to
do with the killing of the buffalo, but
it was through him that the sale was
to be made. and he was putting
through the sale when the arrests were
made by Harris.
Much to the surprise of the prosccu-
ton, and also to Judge Overs of the
District Court. the defendants after
hearing all the evidence of the state.
asked that the case be dismissed and
that they be discharged, ON the
ground that the case was brought un-
der the act of 1897, which made such
an offense Il misdemeanor. and that
said act was now practically repealed.
for the reason that the Legislature in
1890 passed. an act making such an Of
fense n felony. thus destroying the
previous act. and in view of the fact
that the said bison We're captured pre-
vious TO 1897 by the parties from
which they We're purchased. that there
fore the defendants should be dis
charged.
The request came like a bomb in the
court room and Judge Overs censured
the defendants attorney severely for
allow ing she case to proceed as far as
it did before making their motion. He
believed from the evidence introduced
that the state had a very strong case,
and he wanted the defendants to con
tinue with the trial. hut they pressed
their point. Introducing much law on
their side. and both the district attor-
Irey and the judge finally admitted
that there was nothing to do but dis
e.Iarge the defendants.

in five-acre field. whittier Il group of
spectators plodded over the marshy
ground, oblivious of their personal dis
comfort. in amaZement at the wonder
full results. Fastened to IL pole in the
middle of the tent WAS an ordinary
telephone receiver. connected with II
small boxed-up apparatus in n shed be-.
low the railway signal box. The tele.
phone mouthpiece WAS fixed against
the wall. The telephone between these
two stations was therefore only capa-
BILE of transmitting messages one way.
This circumstance added perhaps TO
the mysterious character of the expert
ment.
To listen in the telephone receiver
and hear voices coming apparently
from the sodden grass field with no
sign of wire or overhead apparatus
within sight. strained the belief of the
spectators in the marvellous. Nobody
could explain it.
a similar experiment was made
showing how sounds could he trans
mitted from ship TO ship or from shore
to ship. without amy apparent conncc-
tion beyond the fact that at each end
one of those mysterious boxes WAS con-
nected with II battery on one side with
two ground wires on the ather.
Everybody present is now prepared
to believe the new system is capable
of anything. -

One can accomplish much in forty
years, remarked Professor Haeckel. the
scientist. in whose library at Jena is
a good-sized case filled with his own
works. His vocation has demanded
the labor which most men would deem
a full measure OF toll. while his avo-
cations have revealed a capacity fo.
work of remarkable character. 1t is
said that he has collection OF more
than two thousand of his own paint
ings. mostly water colors. besides thou
sands of other sketches in ink, crayon
and pencil. Dividing men into pro-
ducers and non-producers, it is not diff
ficult to say to which class Haeckel
belongs.

Mrs. Cora Dibert, woman of AL
toona, Pa. escaped death by one inch
of water the other day. She was
pumping water when the platform on
which she was standing collapsed and
she dropped to the bottom of the we'll.
She was just able to keep her head
above water by standing on her tip
toes. When unable to stand longer
she covered her mouth and nose with
one hand and went under for as long
as she could hold her breath. Her oc-
casional shouts were finally heard and
she was rescued just in the nick OF
time. She says that one more dip un-
der the water would have been her
last.

The statistician of the Department
of Agriculture has lately returned from
trip to Europe undertaken for the
purpose of arranging with the Euro
pean governments for an interchange
of crop reports with the United States.
The negotiations were successful, and
it is expected that the plan will be in
operation next autumn. The ster is a
very important one. Heretofore this
country has had to depend upon pri-
vate sources for information of foreign
crops, which was always incomplete
and sometimes inaccurate. The value
of such reports to the American farm
er is considerable. since the prices of
American farm products are largely IN
fiuenced by foreign crops.

SECOND WARD.
TALK OF FRAUD Oh soMETHING
Hunting Grounds Upon Which to
Base a Contest

Col. Hughes was not silent very long
after his first lapse from talking early
this morning Along toward noon he
warmed up and became the same volu-
bic taiker of old in planning t6 contest
the election of Mr.. Parker as mayor of
Topeka Backed up against the wall of
the Central National bank, he was dilat-
ing on the evidences of fraud to a knot
of listeners, when a State Journal re-
porter happened along looking for Mr.
J. w. Gleed-
Just then one of the coloners lieu
tenants. who had been reading the State
journal bulletin, but read it wrong, came
rushing Up
Colonel 4 exclaimed the man breath
lessly, 'an error has been found in the
tally sheet in the second precinct of the
First ward and Parker's majority has
been cut down to six"
rs that SOP queried Hughes
You don't mean that the majority is
reduced to six. corrected the reporter
There is a difference of six found from
Parker's majority from II to IL. That's
what you mean, isn't it?
mo. mean Parker's majority is only
six. There was an error found in the
tally sheet"
Dye see! Dye seei" Hughes broke
out enthusiastically That's the way
they do it. Yes, and they counted a
dozen of my votes for Parker too, that
were only scra tched light and they went
over them and marked them heavy with
a pencil an voted 'em for Parker. Second
Eastman.
Now whatn we do about this,
Hughes continued, turning to Mr.. Gleed.
I've got to get an injunction a re-
straining order, or something to stop the
election commissioners from giving
Parker a certificate of election / reckon
Does council neet?'' asked Gleed.
Friday night" replied Hughes.
Cant you get q special meeting?''
f.Yas.
Make it Thursday night
''All right
''Get the meeting Thursday night, 'sre-
peated Mr.. Gleed, --and when you have a
special meeting, All! can you control
the council?'
We'll ah. we'll
Yes. can you control it7" asked
lieutenant
Well ah-" admitted the colonel
hesitatingly. That That That is a
different question.
Then the colonel and Mr.. GIeed pro-
ceeded to the fatter's office to go over
the details.
Mr. Gleed was asked by the state
Journal to state his views on
the election of Mr.. Parker and its rela-
tion to the cause of temperance.
What effect will the result of the
election have upon temperance-the cleo
tion of Parker as mayor?" was the way
the question was put.
I do not know that the result of the
city election viii have any effect I can
not well discuss the effect of the election
of Mr. Parker He is not elected. Mr..
Parker will not take the seat as mayor
of Topeka" "
Then Mr.. Hughes will contest?''
Yes
What allegations Of fraud will there
be and where2"
Il can not answer that That is all
have to say concluded Mr.. Gleed very
pleasantly, terminating the interview.
