The Longest Way Around.

The storms in May in the West did
great injury to the telegraph wires,
but the daily papers came out each
morning with the news of the world,
and few people outside of the tele-
graph and newspaper offices knew
how it was done or appreciated the
expedients devised to get the mes
sages through.
One night the wires were down be-
tween Omaha and Council Bluffs, just
across the river. An electric light
tower had been blown down upon
them. All telegraplic communication
with Omaha was cut off, but the mes
sages came as usual and almost as
quickly.
But they did a lot of travelling to
get across the river. First they were
telegraphed from Chicago to ST. Louis.
then to Kansas City, from Kansas City
70 Denver, and from Denver back to
Omaha, making a distance OF 1000
N lies to get across the Missouri river.
This might have been shortened If the
wires between Omaha and Kansas
City had not been down also.
Recently the connection between
Denver and San Francisco was broken.
Dispatches were sent out from Chca-
60 as usual, but could get no farther
than Denver. There could be no ques-
ton of their lying over n day or two.
They simply had to so through. And
