Telegraph by Typewriter.

A. L. Morelock, of Topeka,
night wire chief OF the Santa Fe
general Offices telegraph depart
ment, is the inventor OF new tele
graph sending machine which
promises TO be one of the grea,
discoveries OF the present day.
With this machine, anyone,
even though he be entirely un
familiar with the Morse code ana
telegraph instruments. can send
messages, the only qualification.
required being the ability to man
ipnlate typewriter. and possibl,
an understanding of the abbrevi

graphers.
MIR. Morelock claims that witt
this machine IT is possible to senc

n.., e.s., Route.

Fl. A. Clark, inspector OF rural
routes in the district OF Colorado.
Wyoming and Montana, was La
lunta visitor this week on official
business. Mr.. Clark, after inspect
ing local conditions, decided to
recommend some changes in the
rural delivery system in this county.
Part OF the Rocky Ford-Las Ami
mas rural delivery is to be attached
to a new route from La unta
that will cover West Holbrook,
Horse Creek and the territory east
lying along the Arkansas river
The proposed new route will cover
Ave miles more of territory in the
Hcibrook country than the present
route.
Twenty six miles is the limit for
q rural delivery route, and as the
route through the Fairmount
country now covers thirty miles of
territory, the west end is to be at
tached TO the route out OF Rocky
Ford. The establishment of the
new route will be of considerable
benefit to La Junta in a business

Keeping Tab on the River.

There is more water in the Ar
kansas river this winter than there
has been for two winters past. &C
cording 10 Alexander Alter, who
lives Just south OF the river near
the bridge, says the Dodge City
Republican. Just at present Mir.
Alter makes two measurements Of
FIRST at 9 o'clock In the morning
and the other at ? O'Clock in the
afternoon. He was employed in
November by the government to
do this. \ guage was put in
near the north end OF the bridge
and the measurements have been
kept up ever since. What the
purpose is Mr.. Alter does not
know. Two men from Colorado
took measurements of the water in
the river during the spring rise and
returned report Of ten feet. That
measurement was probably taken
on account of the suit pending
against Colorado for robbing the
Arkansas river. Whether or not
the present measurements are to
have any bearing on the case Mr.
Alter does not. know. He has
been furnished blanks by the geo
logical survey department and the
record is sent in to Russell, Kan.
by Mr.. Alter once week. The
hrst measurement was made on
November 2Sth, and the depth oi
the water at that time was one
foot and six inches. Since then il
mas varied slightly, reaching two
feet on January Sth. where it is a,
the present time.

cOllided with box car on the main track
at point near IgnaciO station. about u

Prevent a Free
Fight.
Rump Meeting Votes to Un-
seat Delegate From New
York Local No. 9

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 25-Samuel Parks,
walking delegate from New York City,
caused a split In the annual convention
of the international Association Of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers here to-day
In a fight to unseat Daniel Brophy, del
egate from union No of that city, but
who held q proxy from Scranton Pa. The
charge was made by the Parks delegates
that Brophy's credentials had been forged.
and to prevent a free for all fight that
seemed eminent, President Buchanan ad-
journed the convention without hour and
without waiting to put the question.
Later, when President Buchanan, remain
ing away from the hall. refused to recon-
vene the convention the Parks crowd or
ganized a session, placing Second Vice
President Warden of New Haven in the
chair, and unseated Brophy
President Buchanan declares that the
acts of the rump convention are uncon-
stitutional and Brophy says that he will
ignore the acts of the Parks crowd and
take his seat whenever President Bucha-
nan again assumes the chair.
After the delegates had voted to unseat
Brophy, the chair was requested to notify
President Buchanan of the proceedings
and to invite him to preside over the con-
yention tomorrow. Vice President War
den then declared the session adjourned
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
Delegate Brophy left the hall as soon
as the vote to unseat had been taken.
1.-The action this afternoon" said he, 'is
unconstitutional. 1 still claim my seat
and will re-enter the convention when
President Buchanan assumes the chair
again"
A fight had been made on Brophy yes
terday by the Parks crowd and although
he was seated, President Buchanan ruled,
to prevent endless debate that any one
who is willing to make protest against
any of the delegates might do so in writ
/ ing. Such a protest against Brophy, de-
claring him to be "scab," was presented
just before adjournment last evening and
became the first business of the conven-
tion to-day.
A threatening move was made at the
! door of the hall as Brophy sought en-
/ trance to the convention to-day. He made
