WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.-The first
regular daily newspaper in the world
depending entirely on wireless te-
legraphy for its general news service
was launched yesterday morning at
Avalon, Catalina Island, 25 miles from
California, out in the Pacific Ocean.
The Pacific Wireless Telegraph Com
pany has been doing commercial bust
ness from the island successfully for a
number of weeks past, numerous dis
patches being sent daily to and from the
island. Previously the only method Of
communication was by mail. The new
paper is called the Wireless, and is pub
lished under the auspices Of the Los
Angeles Times, from the Office Of which
IN epitome of the news will be tele-
graphed each morning. Yesterdays
issue was but small four-page sheet,
but the demand for the paper and for
advertising space has been so great that
it will be enlarged at once. Heretofore
the news of the world has not reached
the island until the arrival of a steamer
at D. m. The system of the Pacific
Wireless Telegraph Company is entirely
distinct and different from the Marconi
system. There was heavy storm in
progress when the news dispatches were
sent to the island yesterday morning, but
they were delivered promptly and without
difficulty.

KIDNAPPED HER CHILDREN.-M
Charles NJ. Davidson kidnapped her own
children in HenricO county yesterday
afternoon and brought them to Richmond
in buggy, holly pursued by her attor-
ney and Deputy Sheriff Vogler. Mrs.
Davidson is separated from her husband,
who claims that she deserted him, and
n divorce is pending which gives the
husband the care Of the children.
She received permission of the court
to secure some of her belongings from
her husbands home. She and her
niece went in one buggy and the lawyer
and deputy sheriff in another. While
Mrs. Davidson and the men were in the
house the niece enticed the two children
into the buggy and called to the mother.
Mrs. Davidson ran out of the house,
sprang into the vehicle and the two
women drove towards the city. Robert
S. Rives, the wife's attorney, left his
overcoat in the fleeing buggy, and be-
sides desiring to recover that garment,
he feared he might be implicated in the
kidnapping. The deputy sheriff and
lawyer overlook the women just as they
reached the city limits, but Mr.. Vogler
doubted his authority to arrest them,
and they brought the children to the
city
The attorney for Mrs. Davidson was
notified Of the peculiar turn of affairs,
and the matter rests for the present.

THE MERGER HEARING. Two i'm
portant disclosures were made by John
w. Gates in New York yesterday when
he was called as witness before the Inter
state Commerce Commission, which gave
a hearing in the postofiice building in
the proceedings brought by the State OF
Kentucky to have set aside the absorp-
ton of the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road by the Atlantic Coast Line, under
the statute prohibiting any combination
of parallel lines.
Disclosure No. was that j. Pierpont
Morgan was considering last fall the for
nation of aSouthern Securities Company
similar to that of the Northern Securi-
ties Company, providing the legality OF
the latter was upheld in the courts. II
the Southern Securities Company should
be formed the stock of the Louisville and
Nashville road was to be put into it on
a basis of 40 a share. This stock-that
is, SOC, 900 shares of it-cost j. 2. Nor
gan & Co. 1870 for 10G, 900 shares and
$50 for 2O6, 900 shares.
Disclosure No. was hard dig at the
August Belmont management of the
Louisville & Nashville road in that Mr..
Gates accused it of keeping the books
in such a way that the average stock
holder was deceived.
Mr.. Gates, who was very angry some
months ago when Mr. Morgan appeared
before the same commission and said his
firm bought control of the Louisville q
Nashville "because he did not consider
Gates a safe person to have the manage
ment of such property" did not tight
back at Mr. Morgan, as had been expect
ed. He was very mild on the stand.

MUTINY.-The British steamship In
duna, Capt. Robert Carruthers, arrived
at Norfolk last night with a tale of
mutiny on the high seas. Five men at
tempted to take possession of the ship
after filing their irons off, and Fireman
Dival had TO be shot. Nine men were
shipped at Philadelphia for the voyage
and the snip went to Pensacola for
cargo. There the men were paid of.
They refused to return TO the vessel and
were arrested. Five OF them were put
in irons, and four others we're left in
Pensacola to be returned to England
later. The ship then started for Nor
folk for coal before proceeding on her
transatlantic voyage, but when only a
few days out the FIVE mutineers in irons
succeeded in filing their letters. As
soon as they were free they made an at
tack on the officers of the ship. Armed
with marlinspikes and heavy billets of
wood the FIVE attacked Mate b. Z.
Rusficake. It was then that he shot
the fireman, and the remainder of the
mutineers were oyerpowered. Together
with the wounded man they were
brought to Norfolk and will be taken to
England for trial. All five will prob
ably receive sentence of death for their
crime. The Captain declares that he
knows no reason for the mutiny.

WILL GET RIGHTS.
Van Lone Boys Finally Convince Mil
waukee Courts OF Their
Right to Property.
WILL GET $4,000 FROM ESTATE.

The Probate courts of Milwaukee
county have finally recognized the
claims of Robert and George Van
Lone of this city for a share of the
fortune left by their grandmother, and
the estate will be settled. Each of the
boys will receive the sum of $4,000
which is the share that would be paid
to their mother had she survived.
The boys had been hunting for
weeks to find the dates in regard to
their birth and they finally managed
to secure this information from some
of the neighbors Of the family, and the
evidence secured has been approved as
satisfactory to the courts of Milwau-
kee. Both of the boys were born in
Kenosha and the dates show that one
of them is of legal age and can claim
the money that is now being held for
him in the courts. The other brother
is nineteen years of age and guardian
has been appointed for him and he will
receive the same amount as his brother.
The boys who were formerly wards
of the state at the school at Sparta will
now be independent of the state and
will be in position to begin their lives
under the brightest Of circumstances.
Both of the boys are hard working
boys and their heads have not been
turned by the modest little fortune
that has been left to them. The
younger of the Boys will continue tc
work in one of the Kenosha factories
while his brother will probably go into
some mercantile business in Milwau
kee. Both boys learned trades while
in the school at Sparta and both Of
them have proved themselves capable
of making living without the aid Of
their patrimony.
The heirs to the estate in Milwaukee
made hard effort to prevent the boy:
from receiving their share of the estate
but the attorney for the boys easily
secured judgment from the cour
dividing the estate among the lega
heirs

ROUTES MUST WAIT
Postmaster Frantz Asks the Depart
ment to Delay Rural Delivery
Appointments.
TO AVOID CHANGE OF SYSTEM
Postmaster Believes That 1t Would Be
Better to Have the Service Established
Under the New Appointee.
TO AVOID CHANGE OF SYSTEM

The esta adjustment of rural delivery
in the county will probably have TO
wait until after the fight over the ap-
pointment of a new postmaster is over
and the new director named. Thus far
Postmaster Frantz has received from
the department no announcement of
the names of the men selected for rural
carriers or of the time for the opening
of the routes and today he has written
an urgent letter to the head of the de-
partment asking that the establish
ment of the system of rural delivery
be delayed until after the appointment
is made by Congressman Cooper for
the next four years.
The work of making the plans for
the system of rural delivery is most
vital question in the conduct of
the postoffice and the postmaster holds
that it will be great deal better II It
is made by the man who is to be IN
control of the Office for the next four
years. There is little doubt but that
the head of the rural delivery depart
mGnL Will dCCCuC ~ LAG ANNONS Va NA~
postmaster and by this plan the routes
will not be opened until after the first
of February. There is little reason to
believe that the department will reach
Kenosha county before that time as
the rural delivery is now being estab-
lished all over the country and the
agents of the government are working
night and day to have the great work
completed as early as possible and
hundreds of examinations are being
held daily to select carriers for the
different districts. The Kenosha ex-
animation was held several weeks ago
but as yet no papers have been cor
rected and they will not be corrected
until after the first of the coming year.
Three more rural routes are to be
laid out in this county and while
all the preliminary work has been done
the work of taking the census of the
people on the routes and arranging for
the proper delivery of the mail is still
to be done.

GOLD MINE TN CABBAGE.
F. w. Guenther Co. Ship Carload to Indians
Bringing $40 Per Ton.

r. w. Gu0nBner GOs SDlp OHTAO6u 30 AnuASAs'
Bringing $40 Per Ton.
Farmers who raised cabbage last
fall and stored 1t in houses, have little
gold mines. Prices are going up fast.
1t began at $8 per ton and is now sell
ing at $40 ton, at any rate the F. w.
Guenther Co., shipped car load of II
tons to an Indiana town yesterday and
received $40 per ton.
In conversation with one of the 1arg-
est growers in the county last night he
said that in his opinion there was 5000
tons of cabbage stored in this county
and IN his opinion the price will reach
$50 ton. The weather of the past week
has been excellent for cabbage, for It
requires extreme cold weather to keep
the cabbage nice and fresh. He fur
Their stated that the r. W. Guenther
company cut up sufficient cabbage this
year, for seven thousand barrels OF
sauerkraut. Cabbage and kraut is
shipped to many of the southern states.
It is figured that it costs the growers
about $3.50 per ton to grow aud store
the cabbage. At this rate and the
prices now received and an increase
expected, some of the farmers will
ma Ike fortune, with no drawbacks.

VIII Divide 1t Into Acre Lots.
Kenosha will have new and unique
addition to her territory early in the
coming spring, as Fritz Tanck has
purchased twenty four acres of the
Selleck property adjoining the South
city limits, and is preparing to put It
on the market in acre lots.
The new owner of the property has
arranged for the building of road and
sidewalk from Rowland avenue. to
the Balm ditch, and sewers will be laid
for the proper draining of the entire
land.
The lots will be uniform in size and
will furnish good building lots for the
man who wants to have plenty OF
room and still be within easy access OF
the city. The location is within walk.
ing distance of the street car line, and
as they are to be offered at low rate
it is thought that the subdivision will!
be popular one.

There was terrible suffering in the
kingdom of Bulbug, Not but what
there had been a season of plenty, for
the cocoanut trees had been loaded
down like woman on bargain day.
A syndicate had cornered the cocoa
nuts, and hard rainy season was
coming on.
Never before had cocoanuts been cor
nered. From time immemorial they
had been round.
The children were crying for cocoa
nuts, but their cries were only music
to the ears of the syndicate managers.
They knew that the cries would only
make the brown and doting fathers
dig the harder.
Finally the king sent for the main
promoter Of the trust. Meanwhile he
had instructed the chief headsman to
rub his ak against the grindstone until
it was as thin as the Cruel the heads
man had had for breakfast.
The court assembled and the dusky
warriors stood about. The culprit was
brought in and asked if he had any
silvery tongued oratory that he cared
to unload on the market before the
kind gentleman with the ak gave his
physical culture exhibition.
Il am ready to die" said the trust
promoter with a smile, "but first
would have a word privately with the
king. have new funny story that
he should hear before die and take it
with me-"
The request was granted, and the
prisoner retired with the king to an
inner chamber
20 king" said the trust promoter,
father of the sun and second cousin
to the electric light plant, there is a
great mistake here. Instead Of being
horse thief I am public benefactor
Yes, your royal highness. You see,
it is this way: With some other philan-
thropists | have organized this COM
pany. Do not call it a trust. 1t is not
by raising the prices, but by superior
management, that we will make 1884
per cent. We were looking for you to
let you in on the ground floor. but
couldn't find your telephone number.
How much stock do you want at 10
cents on the dollar to be paid for by
your note due three years after death?"
"Ahemp' said the king very gracious
". '1That puts different aspect on
this business. Come down tonight with
your friends and help me smoke a box
Of choice TOWERS that the gracious en-
voy from New Jersey has just sent
over. Meanwhile the execution is post
poned indefinitely"
Then the king went outside and told
the populace to chase itself.
