ern Plans to Reach Rock ISL
and by Way of Milan.
SURVEY NEARLY COMPLETE
Line Partly Built and Construction on
Remainder Expected to Start
In the Spring.

The surveying party in charge of
Engineer r. J. Wright, which is short
ening the route of the Dixon, Rock
Falls & Southwestern, has completed
the preliminary survey TO point about
nine miles west of Geneseo, and has
but little farther to go.
1t is understood that the line which
the Dixon, Rock Falls & Southwestern
will meet will get it's entrance into
the tri-cities by the way of Milan.
Should this prove TO be the case the
line will go into Rock Island over the
right of way of the Tri-City Street
Railway company.
1t may be that the company will
run a loop into Geneseo for local serv-
ice and send its through cars on over

Postal Cards Garry n,usto.

A striking novelty in picture postal
cards is about to be placed on the mar
ket by a French syndicate, says the
London Mail.
To an ordinary pictorial card is af-
fixed a very thin transparent gelatin
disk on which is impressed gramo-
phone musical record. A hole is
pierced through the center of the disk
and the postcard can be placed on an
ordinary talking machine" and played
in the usual way.
The musical postcard opens up an
entirely new field for the craze. Pho
tographs Of great singers and compos-
ers will be accompanied by extracts
from their works, pictures of national
flags by the anthems of the different
countries, and so in endless variety.
Candidates for political honors, instead
of sending merely their photographs to
constituents, will be able to accom-
pany them with the photographic rec
ords of an election address.
The additional cost as compared
with ordinary cards is very slight. The
disk, being perfectly transparent, does
not in any way interfere with the pic
ture beneath. AS a novel advertising
medium the new cards are certain to
be popular.

Yours very truly,

It will be noticed that the Ex-Gov-
ernor says he has not had occasion to
use Peruna for other ailments. The
reason fer this is, most other ailments
begin with cold.
Using Peruna to promptly cure colds,
he protects his family against other
ailments.
This is exactly what every other fam
lily in the United States should do
keep Peruna in the house. Use it for
coughs, colds, la grippe and other
climatic affections of winter, and there
will be no other ailments in the house.

FROM COAST TO ISLANDS BY
NAVAL WIRELESS TELEGRAPH

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 1.-THE an
is preparing to erect and equip a long
distance wireless telegra ply station at
Farralon islands has aroused great in
terest, not only in naval circles, but
among Pacific coast shippers. The
station is already under way of con-
struction, and when it is completed it
will be possible to transmit messages
for more than 1000 miles in any direc-
ton. Naturally the opportunity to
signal and converse with ships 1000
miles distant will be the principal ad-
vantage of the new station. How
much farther the instruments will
transmit than the distance named re-
mains for experiment to show. The
Eastern manufacturers who are MAX
ing the instruments guarantee them to
transmit 1000 miles at least.
The new station is to be located at
the Southeast Farallon, a distance of
about thirty miles from the Goat is
land station and 2,lS0 miles from Ho-
nolulu. The mast for the new station
has been completed and now lies in the
Mare island construction yard await
ing orders which will send it to the
islands This will probably be when
the instruments are completed and for
warded from the East
The Farallon station will be the only
one of it's kind on the Pacific coast.

messages by Western stations has been

a distance of 1000 miles Not only will
the new station be of great benefit to
the navy in time of war, but it will in
the future be of great assistance to the
merchant liners. Marine experts say
that the day will come when all mer-
chant ships will be fitted with wireless
wireless apparatus. In this event
vessels or ships in
any way distressed within 1000
miles of the Farallon islands may

ness while whole days from port
The possibilities of a long-distance
station on the Pacific Coast seem I'M
limited. There are experts who state
that the difference in climatic condi-
tons on this coast will enable the
of much longer distanced
messages than on the Atlantic side. In
fact it would seem that the dream of
General Oscar f. Long, formerly in
,harge of the Pacific transport service,
$ about to be realized. Two years ago
General Long hit upon the idea of
