Mr.. ID. ]. Ksvansugh, Of Memphis,
is Today installing The New
Telegraph Outfit.

The Illinois Central is today start
ing an innovation in it's local dispatch
ing office. Mr.. ID. j. Kavanaugh, of
Memphis. is here to attach to the COM
pany's long distance telephones wires
here IA set of telegraph instruments,
and thus have the same wires used for
either telephoning or telegraphing.
The company will thus be enabled
to use the same wires for either tele.
graphing or telephoning, simply by
switching from one set of instruments
and batteries, to the other.
This compositing work has been
possible from Louisville to Fulton for
some time, and Mr.. Kavanaugh is
here today to "cut it in" at the Pa
ducah office, thus allowing officials
mere to use it.
The work of cutting in the instru-
ments and reinforcing the batteries
will be finished today.
Business has been such on the Lou
isville division of the road that dis
patchers have to have every facility
possible in handling trains, and when
this line is cut in and in operation,
with the addition of the new wire
now being strung it will give the dis
patchers greatly improved facilities.

A rumor has been persistent that If
Scroggie vacated that the entire teach
ing force would do likewise. This ru-
NOR has been repeatedly affirmed and
denied. Yesterday was the closing day
Of school for two weeks vacation.
The matter of difference between the
secretary and the slI erintendent had
been kpt as quiet as possible and when
the superintendent announced to the
school that he had resigned a gloom
settled down over the entire assembly
and many were forced to brush away
tears.
Never have the schools been in as
f1ourishing condition as they have
been the past two years and half.
and it is with the deepest regret that
trouble has come into the ranks to mar
the remaining six months of school
stated from good authority that the
state school inspector has said that
when Superintendent G. r. Scroggie
took charge of the Anes school two
and a half years ago, it was in as poor
condition as any school in the state and
that now it is one Of the best in the
state Of Iowa.
Some misstatements have been male
in regard to the solicitation Of Miss
Esse Hathaway by Superintendent
William I. Crane, Of the MarshalltIw
schools. She was not solicited by Mr.
Crane, but voluntarily made applica-
ton for the position in the Marshall
town schools and was recommended
by Secretary G. G. Lee, and accepted
the position at an advanced salary of
SIS per month.

Trial Of the Omaha Chief Of Police at
an End.

Omaha, Dec. 24.-The sensational
charges against Chief of Police DON
ahue Of this city have all been aired
and the case is now in the hands of the
police commission, which has not an
nounced it's decision as yet. Evidence
was introduced to show that the chief
of police in one instance prosecuted
to prevent the closing of gambling
house. The case was submitted late
yesterday after two hours argument
While nothing has been said to indicate
the conclusion of the board, 1t was ap-
parent Thursday night to the disinter-
ested observer that any delay in an
nouncing the decision is more matter
Of form and convenience than delibera-
ton, and the guesses are ten to one
that the charges will be dismissed.
What statement the board will make
in Diminishing the charges is matter
of general speculation. Dispositions
from the Anamosa penitentiary in Iowa
were read Thursday night. They were
those of Assistant Deputy Warden J..
H. Lowe, Guard T. E. Patterson, and
Warden William A. Hunter. All of
them had to do with the visit Of Will
lam Nesselhouse to the Iowa peniten-
tiary to see the convict, Dale or Dolan,
about getting a deposition. The evil
dence was that Dolan did not make
an affidavit, but talked with Nessel-
house about their former acquaintance
and mentioned Donahue and Dennison.
The names of Thomas and Spratien
were not mentioned. Nesselhouse went
out and got Nolan pair of shoes
and also left $50 for him with the war;
den.
AS the attorneys were about to pro-
coed with the argument, Donahue in
terrupted to know if Thomas had other
evidence against him. He was in
formed there was more and insisted
that it all be put in at this hearing. as
it was an expensive operation for him.
Thomas replied that the matters were
not included in these charges and the
witnesses were not on hand. Donahue
sought continuance, but it was de-
MED. The mayor said he did not want
to waste any more time on the case and
was ready to announce his decision at
opce. Y

ROCKEFELLER FOR TRUST LAWS
Oil Magnate Quoted as Suggesting
National Control

Washington. Dec 24.-In his tes-
timony before the United States in
dustrial comission of 1899, John D.
Rockefeller, president of the Standard
Oil Company, made a similar recon-
mendation to that of Commissioner
Garfield for the control Of corporations.
When asked what legislation he would
suggest for industrial combinations,
Mr.. Rockefeller replied: Federal leg
islation under which corporations may
be created and regulated If that be pos
sible."
H. H. Rogers, vice president of the
Standard Oil. said: Il believe, if we
are going to be the greatest commercial
nation in the world, that the consti-
tuition ought to be amended so that
federal charters can be granted on
some such plan as the English"
John D. Archibald, also vice pres
ident of the Standard Oil. said: "The
