How 1t is Done.

The stringing of the cabie is an in
teresting process, but rather haz-
ardOus one, as the men are compell-
ed to work high above the river at
the top of the bridges wire supports.
y messenger wire is first strung. This
supports the cable when the latter is
in place. The messenger wire now
being put in place is the largest ever
brought into these parts and is five
eighths of an inch thick. BY means
of pulleys supported by it the cable
is slowly pulled off the reels across
the bridge by Il rope and tackle APP
paratus. The work was started at
the south viaduct and the cable is be-
ing pulled across to the north. Yes
terday about 1000 feet was already
up and 5000 feet of the rope was be
ing used to pull it to the reel on the
other side

For liver troubles and constipation
There's nothing better in creation
Than Little Early Risers, the IA
nous little pills;
They always effect a cure and save
doctor bills.
Little Early Risers are different
from all other pills. They do not
weaken the system, but act as a tonic
to the tissues by arousing the secre-
tions and restoring the liver to the
full performance of its functions nat
urally.

ON CABLE
Central Unions Big Improvement
7etween Davenport and
Rock island.
PROCESS AN INTERESTING ONE
Installation Means Much Better Ser
vice Between the Two
Cities.

Through the enterprise of Manager
Richards, of the Central Union Tele-
phone company, representatives of
the press were taken over the Rock
Island bridge yesterday afternoon and
shown the method by which the new
$1,000 cable is being strung across the
river. n force of 25 men is at work
on the job, several of them expert
linemen. The new cable is 5000 feet
long, contains $50 pairs of wires, 800
in all, and the weight is five pounds
to the foot. The cable means 90 adj
ditional pairs of wires between Rock
Island and Davenport and 90 more
messages can be handled over it,
This will result in a great improve
ment of the long distance as well as
local service

Thomas In Charge.

The work is being done under the
supervision of w. b. Thomas. of Peo-
ria, who has been in the employ of
the Central Union company IL years
altogether and does much of the COM
pany's special construction work. He
has been here about ten days and
will leave on the completion of this
job for kewanee, where the entire
system is to be rebuilt. -Four of the
men, the Asplund brothers and Wal
lace, of Peoria, and Wangelin, of this
city, are experts and are doing the
more intricate portions of the work
The cable will be in place in a week
or ten days and then the system will
be on exactly the same basis as those
of Chicago and the other large cities
of the country. Manager Richards
says il will be the best in any town
of the size in the state.

Splicing Process.

One of the most tedious portions
of the work is the splicing of the
wires at the terminals and at the
elbows. There are 300 wires and each
is spliced six times, which means a
total of 1,S00. In the cable box there
are 600 more splicings to be done,
making 2,4O0 wires in all to be joined
together. The cable is joined to the
Davenport cable on LIE Claire street
between Second and Third streets.

Springfield, Ills, April so. - The
report of the Doodle investigating com
mittee was not submitted to the house
yesterday. The committee did not COM
plete Tuesday nights session until 2
a. m. yesterday. At least one more
witness. Walter l.. Fisher, secretary of
the Municipal Voters League, is to be
heard. Fisher was given a hearing
yesterday afternoon. He explained the
origin of the Mueller bill, and declared
that the traction companies had moth
ing to do with its preparation. He
also explained his interview with Go
vim and Auerbach. the New York cap
italists, asserting that the meeting was
purely accidental. The traction Ques-
ton was discussed in a general way,
but no attempt was made to agree
upon any legislative proposition.
Forecast of the Report.
The report of the committee has not
yet been agreed upon in detail. 1t is
understood, however. that it will find
the charge of Speaker Miller unsub-
stantiated by evidence. but will relieve
the speaker of any intention of misrep-
EeSSAllIlS the llldlleI, ldhIHS int view

the statements made to him.
Chicago Is Not Standing Idle.
The determination of the Chicago
committee to insist upon the passage
of the Mueller. bill by the house was
emphasized when n revised copy of the
bill was distributed among the MEM
bers of the house. The revision is i'll
accordance with the recommendation
of the Chicago committee. The
most important amendment is an adj
ditional section prepared by Edwin
Burritt Smith. providing specifically
that nothing in the act shall be con-
strued TO authorize a grant or lease
for a longer period than twenty years.
