CENTRAL ROAD
HAS TELEPHONE SYSTEM

The Illinois Central railroad now
has its own long distance telephone
in operation between Dubuque and
Chicago.
The Illinois Central is one of the
first companies TO install the tele-
phohic system of communication.
The possibilities open TO the new
system are many and will be taken
advantage of by the Illinois Central
just as soon as conditions are favor
able. 1t is the aim of the company
to install Il held telephone in every
passenger train and whenever there
is a wreck along the road, wire will
be thrown over the copper line and
by this means direct communication
will be opened with the superinten-
dents office, from which directions
will be made as To how the injured
shall be cared for and the wreckage
cleared. Cabooses and engines may
also be provided with these instru-
ments and when information is de-
sired at any point the train will be
stopped and the wire used. The
feasibility of this innovation has
been demonstrated by officials of the
war department on several occasions.
The new system is so perfect that
any of the officials who desire to talk
to any person not connected with
the offices in Chicago may call up
central and ask that a connection
with the city telephone be made.
TheIlIinois Central maintains ii sep
arate system of telephones among its
Chicago offices.
The advantages of the Telephone
over the telegraph are many, but
the main one is that of directions.
Officials of the company say that
with the means of the telephone they
can transact business in half the time
required by the telegraph.
The question arises, ''Will it be
feasible for dispatchers to use the
telephone in taking care of the
movement of trains?' Railroad Of
ficials say that this is difficult
question to answer. While they adj
nit that it is feasible to direct
trains by the telephone, still they
declare that i'm telegraphy the mes
sages are put in writing and are thus
preserved for reference, and are
good witnesses in case of disagree
ment among the dispatchers. But
owing to the congested condition of
telegraph wires it is frequently diff
ficult to reach a man by that means
and it is here that the telephone
will claim superiority. Then in case
of wreck by talking over the tele
phone one becomes acquainted with |
the details and one remark suggests |
another thought until finally the
has thorough |
of the conditions at the |
scene of the disaster and can there |
fore proceed with assurance.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
