Wichita's Wireless Station Will Be in
Operation by January 1.

|
f. c. Guild stated yesterday that the
Marconi company has a force of men at
wok at Kansas City and as soon as the
station at that place is completed the
force will come TO Wichita and install a
station. 1t is expected to have the station
at this place completed by the first of
January and ready for business.
Mr.. Guild come here little over a
week ago and started to sell stock in the
Marconi company, with the object in view
if he could sell enough stock of installing
a wireless telegraph station at Wichita.
Mr.. Guild states that he has met with
most gratifying success. Things have
transpired to greatly interfere with his
work since he has been here but even
und rethose circumstances he has been
enabled to sell $500 worth of stock. This
is not the required amount but Mr.. Guild
| is confident that he will have no trouble
in securing the remainder Stock in the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph company
seems to be regarded by the business men
| of the city as a good thing and not much
urging on the part of Mr.. Guild has been
The public generally appear to have
comparatively little knowledge or appre-
citation of the remarkable progress that
has been made in the way of wireless
telegraphy in the perfection of the va
rious systems. There are four or five
systems in the world but those OF Amer
ica seem TO have reached the greatest
degree of perfection. AS in telephones
they differ in the most important parts
of uansmitter and receiver.
The work of wireless telegraphy really
dates back to the days of Herty. who
discovered the ether waves and all that
1t is today is the utilization of these
waves and the Instruments by which
they are sent and received Morse in his
day sent messag ges across the Hudson
without wires, but he did not discover
how it was done Hertz did this. but
died before he could make his knowledge
OF practical use. Marconi has discovered
ways and means to utilize the work of
those who have preceded him. He began
the study of Hertzian waves at the age
of Is years and claims that it was more
by inspiration than anything else that he
was led into the work
There are sixteen ocean cables in use
costing S60,0o0,0U0. The wireless stations
which are now installed across the ocean
cost $4,000. and one station can care for
the business of two cables Thirty horse
power is required for the sparks. The in
Struments are "synchronized'' to prevent
the general distribution Of the messages.
Lloyds has ordered a wireless system
ance on all vessels carrying the system.
Ihe demand for instruments is so great
that 10000 could be placed at once if they
could he manufactured
The governments of the world have
nearly all taken up the system. although

MASS OF SORES
Awful Suffering Of a Boy
from an Itching
HumOuT.
CURED BY CUTICURA
Not One Square Inch of Skin on
His Whole Body Was
Unaffected.

"My little son, a boy of i've, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college, but
its treatment did not do any good. At
the time was induced to try Cuticura
Remedies he was so bad that had to
cut his hair of and put the Cuticura
Ointment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
Of skin on his whole body that was not
affected. He was one mass of sores.
The bandages used to stick to his skin
and In removing them it used to take
the skin off with them, and the screams
from the poor child were hcart-break-
ing. l began to think that he would
never get well, but after the second
application of Cuticurs Ointment I
began to see signs Of Improvement,
and with the third and fourth applica-
tions the sores commenced to dry up.
His skin peeled off twenty times, but 1t
finally yielded to the treatment. l used
the Cuticura Resolvent for his blood,
and now / can say that he is entirely
cured, and stronger and healthier boy
you never saw than he is to-day"

man came to grapple il. this desert lay

and brown and dreary the rest of the
year.
And now that Kansas has conquered
the soil. getting crops from il with boun-
tiful regularity. she is delving into the
ground. In the southeastern triangle of
the state. the ten years last past has
brought important discoveries OF coal and
oil and gas, and zinc and lead. The Iron
mountains of Missouri are near by. and
smelters and foundries and allied indus
tries. that need cheap fuel are filling up
southeastern Kansas. changing its eco
nomic status from agricultural to manu-
featuring. The gas and coal oil belt is
pushing farther and farther back into
the state. II is not unlikely that half
the area of Kansas may cover valuable
fuel products. Since 1S9i Kansas has
pulled herself out Of debt: her proper
ton OF rented farms is smaller than that
OF any Otner state IN the tdlfS-hiSSOuTl
country. Seven-tenths OF the homes Of the
people are owned. The railroad mileagle
of the state is larger than that of any
other American state in proportion 10 the
population. The per capita wealth Of Kan
sas may not be larger than that of New
York, but Kansas wealth is more evenly
There are no rich men-not

more than sl,e00ooo: not 3o0 worth $500
eco but thousands worth from $5.0t9 To
10000 and scores worth 100000 The
money of the few Kansas rich men has
been earned and saved.
But the chief glory Of Kansas Is not
her material wealth. but her schools. In
