WIRELESS MESSAGE.
Transmitted Successfully From Kan
sas City TO St. Louis.

Kansas City. Dec. S.-The first wire
less message from Kansas City has
been flashed through the air from the
station of the American De Forest
ty-sixth and Penn streets. The aero
gram was received in st. Louis and
within less than minute was verified
to the senders by long distance tele-
phone.
By first adjusting the power of the
current generator to certain tone"
corresponding with that of the receiv-
ing apparatus in the ST. Louis station
and then striking the key or an in
strument similar to those used by tele-
graph companies, the operator in St
Louis was called. A message OF ~
words was then transmitted. Before the
sound of the sending instrument had
died away the operator at st. Louis
began repeating the message word for
word on the long distance telephone
to the sender. The message was al
most instantaneous in it's transmission
and was correctly received Other mes
sages were sent with the same results
and the managers expressed themselves
as entirely satisfied with the tests.
The electric generator at the station
in this city has sufficient power to hash
messages 600 miles. In sending messages
a loud, buzzing sound escapes from the
transmitter In order to prevent this
from interfering with the taking of
messages the transmitter is placed in q
heavy wooden box, which serves as
''muff1er."
Within two weeks the managers of
the De Forest company expect to open
an office in the business district OF the
CITY. and later smaller branch offices,
where messages may be collected and
sent to the station on Penn street. The
Kansas City station is at present the
only station with a complete equip
ment west of st. Louis.
A wireless station is being construct
ed at Sedalia, and within a short time
messages may be received direct from
Chicago to Kansas City.
William Howard Fennell, who has had
charge of the station in Kansas City,
will leave next week for Cuba, where
the company has a government contract
for installing the system.

The year 1896 was low water mark;

About 1898, there was some evil

stated positively that in the year 1900,
Topeka resumed business at the old
