Marconi Jealous Of Rival Inventor and

Boston. Jan. ga special to the
Advertiser from Wellfleet. Mass. says:
Before leaving this place for New
York. Mr. Marconi dropped hint OF
possible serious complications for the
United States government
II app4ares that he has already nego-
tiated with the United States govern
nient concerning the right TO use sys-
TEN of wireless telegraphy over the en-
tire country. The terms were consid-
cred by the president and were finally
rejected as too high. For nearly a
year experiments have been made in
Washington and officers think they
have an invention which will equal
.Marconis. The Italian inventor knows
of this and intends 20 stand up for
what he believes to be his rights in
the matter.
This thing is to be settled in the
courts. l do not care to say much
about it now, but 1 will say that an
action will be brought for an infringe
ment of the invention" he said posi-
lively.

he footed up the aggregate.

the check books on which was tabu-

"You are sure that Hestor said
nothing about going away the night
he gave the opera and supper
party?" asked Mr.. Chalmers.

about it," said Miss Hammond. "Mr.
Hestor and Sidney had a long talk
about trusts. They were at the end
of the table, and for long time
took no part in the general converse

the others were saying and found

be a fine plan if they could induce
the leading capitalists of the country

under the trust control of industrial
affairs. Now that l think of it, he
mentioned such names as Rockwell,

covered by willow shoots or arrow

to such cities as Baltimore, Washing

There's quiet in the sunshine, there's mel

For when the heart is joyous all ways

And merely thy well-wishing will make
the future bright.
Then weep no more for sorrow,
Turn all remorse to gain,
And we-come the good spirit
Where love doth ever reign.

not with care,
Ever the morning dawneth and dawneth

And when the heart is open to loneliness

Drilling Contest.

A decided surprise was sprung in q
drilling contest held at Wallace re-
Gently. when a team known as the
Swede team" carried off the first
prive, valued at 5000. The winners
were Johnson and Nygreen of Burke
They won over four competing teams
drilling 80 inches.
Following are other teams with their
records: Morrisey and Banford, Null.
Ian. 81 3S inches; Morrison and Kepp.
ner, Mullan. 20 Is inches; Cummins
and Ross, Nine Mile, 20 11-16 inches;
Durham and Patterson, Kingston
81 1916 inches.
Cummins and Ross and Morrison and
keppner were picked as winners and
considerable money was wagered upon
the result. The latter team carried
off the prize at Mullan on Labor day.
The granite that was used was ex.
ceedingly hard and this accounts for
the distance drilled being small.
