Springfield, March 10.-The twelve
and fourteen-year-old sons of Mich
olas Wiegel, butcher, read in local
papers about numerous hold-ups. They
decided for amusement to play the
game. The younger boy secured his
fathers Winchester rife, which the
father had just brought home and
placed in the corner, supposing it was
not loaded. The younger brother in
addition to having the gun, wore a
handkerchief for mask. AS his older
brother passed before him he pulled
the trigger and the bullet went crash
ing through his head, entering his
nose and emerging at the back of the
head near the base of the brain. The
probabilities are the boy will die.

ETRURIA IS
SAFE IN PORT
Passengers Had an Uneventfui
ExpsrIsnce No Discom-
forts Durlng the Delay.

Horta, Azores, March 10.--The Cum
ard line steamer Etruria arrived here
yesterday.
She anchored here at o'clock Sun
day evening. All on board are well.
She had a comparatively uneventful
passage, except for the breakdown,
which occurred during the dinner hour
of February 26. When this occurred
the Etruria had only just finished
speaking by wireless telegraphy with
the Cunard line steamship Umbria.
After the accident was discovered the
Etruria called the Umbria wirelessly
for one hour, but without success.
Upon examination it was found that
the ships propeller had broken off out
side the tube, and that the rudder had
been carried away by the propeller.
The Etruria then sent up rockets,
which were seen by the British steam
er William Cliff. The latter bore down
and was alongside in fifty minutes
after the accident. She stood by until
daylight when, after several attempts,
she succeeded in passing a hawser
aboard the Etruria. The tank steam
er Ottawa arrived on the scene at this
time.
The William Cliff then attempted to
tow the Etruria, while the Ottawa at
tempted to steer her. The hawser,
however, snapped. The Ottawa stood
by for two days and then left for
Fayal. bearing the second officer of the
Etruria. to report the disaster and OBJ
tain assistance.
In the meanwhile the crew of the
Etruria had made every effort to rig
up jury rudder. The first such rud-
der carried away Immediately an at
tempt was made to use it. After fur
ther efforts, lasting for two days, a
second jury rudder was successfully
adjusted and is still in position.

Eggs Are Down to az
Cents a Dozen.

Cannot Take Up tho Supply
.-Dema nd for Seeds lncreas-
Ing as the Spring Ad-
vances.

Eggs have dropped to % cents. The
cut was made Monday morning when
it was found that Saturdays receipts
were not all cleaned up by the heavy
buying. Dealers pay IS cents to the
farmers who deliver them at the store,
but not over 16 to outside shippers
when the express is not prepaid. II
is thought that the rate will go still
lower in few days, as there seems to
be no end to the offerings. Lent has
much to do with the demand.
A good quality Of honey is in the
market, selling at from 18 to 20 cents
a pound.
The demand for seeds is increasing
rapidly. There is an active call for
clover and timothy seeds and the call
for carly garden seeds is also in
creasing.

Expo RI m . n ting With
Wireless TeIegrap ply
HAVE met SUCCESS
In Sending Messages Short
Oista nces-- Wireless Teie-
phopins Q Possibility OF
the Future.

Washington, d. c., March S.--With-
out any desire for publicity the United
States signal corps has been for some
weeks experimenting with wireless
telephone communications. II Is
claimed that its officers have succeed
ed in sending wireless telephone mes
sages upwards Of 480 feet. These
methods were not in the Morse code,
but in words, uttered in ordinary,
clear, speaking tones, such as would
normally carry distance of 30 or 40
feet at most. The distance at which
these passages have been clearly heard
by the latest experiments exceeds the
length of two ordinary city blocks.
This achievement Is regarded as
highly important by the signal corps
officials. They have been conducting
experiments with wireless telephone
messages for several months, but only
within the last week have they sue
ceeded in getting beyond the 400-foot
mark. They regard the principle as
practically demonstrated now, and look
confidently to doubling the distance
In the near future, with good pros
pect later of placing wireless telephone
messages in the same class with wire
less telegraphy.
MANY EXPERIMENTS.
General Greeley has acknowledged
that officers of the corps had been ex-
perimenting with the wireless tele-
phone for some time, and though he
was inclined to be extremely reticent
he admitted that they had met with
what he termed "a moderate degree
Of success"
The system by which these wireless
telephone messages have been trans
mitted Is very much like that EN-.
ployed in wireless telegraphy. The in
struments used, however, are, IL any
thing, even more delicate than those
used by Marconi. The main point oi
distinction between the wireless tele-
phone and wireless telegraph messages
IL that with the telephone messages
words must be reproduced instead oi
dots and dashes.
The signal corps officers regard the
possibilities of wireless telephoning a.
Of even greater value to an army thar
wireless telegraphy.
STRUCK A LEAD.
"It is the duty of the corps" said ar
officer, ito perfect all systems of com
munication for use in the field, so as
to be able to send clearly audible mes
sages from one point to another, ever
though an enemy occupies a position
between our forces. With this end in
view We are constantly experimenting
and we feel now that we have STRUCK
a lead that will prove of the utmost
Importance. II the principle on which
We have succeeded to this extent car
be applied to still greater distances
and we now feel confident that It can
We have struck something which will
revolutionize modern methods of com.
munication. AS to its application tc
commercial and other lines, 1t is OBJ.
vi0us that what proves successful fol
our purposes must also be of grea
value In other directions"
The system by which these wireless
telephone messages have been sent II
said to be the conception of sigma
corps officers. The work will be dill
gently continued.
