Catarrh of one organ is exactly the
same as catarrh of any other organ.
What will cure catarrh of the head will
also cure catarrh of the pelvic organs.
Peruna cures these cases simply because
it cures the catarrh.
If you have catarrh write at once to

once began to rescue the horses. All
of the horses but two were removed
from the burning building, but one of
those removed was SO badly burned
that it had to be shot BY the time
the fire department arrived the flames
had secured too much Roadway to be
checked but the fire fighters did ex.
cellent work in combining the confagra.
ton to the barn. In spite of their eff.
forts sparks started small blazes in
several places and the small building
next to the barn, occupied by the shoe
shop of Park Stevens, was badly dam.

structure, was damaged to the extent
of about 500.

YOUNG MAN
DISAPPEARS
WRAY CURL OF BLOOMFIELD.
STARTS TO DENVER; FAILS
TO ARRIVE.

Bloomfield, Aug. 1. Especially MFR.
and Mrs. G. E. Curl are suffering the
most intense anxiety concerning their
son, Wray, who left home on the
evening of May 81, for Denver, Colo.
where he had accepted a position.
Nothing has been heard from him
since his departure. When he left
home he promised to write as soon
as he should reach Denver. But when
week after week passed away, bring
ing no message from him, Mr.. Curl
wrote to w. w. Rawlings, formerly Of
this city, and with whom Wray In
tended to board, and found that he
had not arrived. Other letters were
then exchanged between the family,
and relatives in Denver, and the fact
that he had never reached that city
was definitely established. He pur-
chased ticket to Kansas City where
he intended spending Sunday and at
tending the ball game and continue
the trip on Monday. Mr.. Curl hoping
to trace him by his trunk check found
the ticket record at the G. B. & K. G.
Railroad company's depot blank, no
work having been done on the book
since February. He learned, however,
that the ticket which his son held,
was the only one to Kansas City
which was sold on that day Wray Is
an only child and is home loving
boy and his parents greatly fear foul
play Mr.. Curl left Monday for Kan
sas City to place the matter in the
hands of detectives and gain If pos
sible, some clue to his whereabouts.

A DEATH ED RECONCILIATION.

j. n. WEIGH of Des Moines Wills
PROPERTY to Former Wife.
Des Mo.nes, Aug. 1.-On his dying
bed at Methodist hospital, recalling
the kindnesses Of the wife from
whom he has lived apart for the past
four years, James H. WEIGH Sun
day summoned his divorced wife to
his bedside and bequeathed her all
his property.
There took place a reconciliation
pitiful in the extreme And when the
man passed away, smile of joy of
knowing that he had been forgiven
rested on his features.
A short time before his death
Welci made out his will. The docu-
ment filed in probate court yesterday
gives to the woman, Lucia S. WEIGH,
the house in which she had lived with
his children since she was divorced
from him in July, 1901
She is also named as executrix.
The document further states that any
mortgages that may rest upon the
house are to be paid from his es-
tate
Records at the court house disclose
that WEIGH and his wife were married
in 1881. For twenty years they lived
in happiness, then they had trouble
and she was given a divorce.
Mrs. WEIGH was given custody of
the four children and has been living
at the family home, 952 Twenty-ffth
street.
Not until WEIGH realized that death
vas near did he make any advances
towards a reconciliation. Then the
memory of the woman with whom he
had begun his married life twenty
five years ago swept over him. He
sohbed for the wife Of his youth, and
she forgetting all, fastened to his
Geath bed.
The will remembers the Oldest son,
Edwin H. WEIGH, with $50. What re-
mains of the estate after the expenses
are paid goes to the three children,
Marie E., ST art R. and Allen S.
Mr.. WEIGH was born in Pittsield
Mass, and came to Keokuk in 1880,
becoming foreman of the Constitution.
Later he came to Des Moines and
worked in various shops until he en-.
tered partnership with j. F. Olson un,
der the name of Olson & WEIGH
Later he organized an independent
company of his own, buying out the
Carter & Hussey stock. The funeral
will beheld from the residence, 925

TO UTILIZE TREES
WILL BE USED IN WIRELESS
TELEGRAPHY IN UNITED
STATES ARMY,
Leaves, Branches and Trunks Form
Excellent Conductors-onIy Neces.
sary to Attach Wireless Instrument
With a Nail.

Tho discovery that every tree po-
sesses the properties essential to a
wireless telegraph station has recently
been made by United States govern
ment experts The leafy tops of the
forest kings have in them the capacity
to collect messages from the air.
Along the branches to the parent
trunk the message can be flashed with
the same certainty as though it came
on wire, and an operator with his
device at the bottom can receive the
word just as readily as If he sat at the
keyboard OF regularly equipped tele-
graph Office.
This is a discovery Of far reaching
Importance, and one that is likely to
play big part in the warfare of the
future. It means that Uncle Sam can
press into service as messengers all
the trees Of the forest at will. The
advantages of such system will facil-
1tate communication between parts of
an army to a degree undreamed Of
No Limit on Distance.
1t is to Major George o. Squier that
the credit must go for putting to prac-
tical use the discovery that any or
binary healthy tree can be pressed into
service In place of a tower with anten-
nae of wires.
His researches were made at Fort
Mason, Col, and in the course of the
earlier stages he maintained excellent
communication between points mile
and half distant
Since that time he has been improv-
Ing his devices and with such success
that it is impossible to put limit on
the distance that will eventually be
covered by this new means of com
munication.
While Major Squier has done the
work of developing the new principle
he expressly disclaims having origin
ated the idea. 1t was suggested to
him by Major General Arthur Mac
Arthur, U. S. A., who got the idea at
the military maneuvers of the depart
ment of Columbia at American Lake,
Wash.
Here Lieutenant William M. Goodale
Of the United States signal corps,
found that in laying rapid telephone
lines in wooded country, for the field
exercises of the army, much better
ground could be obtained by attach
ing the earth side Of the instrument
to an iron nail driven into the trunk
of tree or shrub than by the more
ordinary and laborious means of bury
ing a conducting plate or driving an
iron spike into the earth itself.
Experiment in California.
So interested in the test did Gen
eral Macarthur become that he recon-
mended Major Squier, leading au-
thority on the absorption of magnetic
waves, to carry the investigation fur
Their, with the idea of making practical
application of the new system of army
tactics.

Quoted principally at Fort Mason, San
francisco, Cal, where he United
States signal service has a wireless
station. and Alcatraz island, San Fran
cisco bay, another wireless station Of
thu signal corps, about mile and a
half away.
Later the naval wireless station at
Yerba Buena island was used.
A grove Of eucalyptus trees on the
lawn in front Of General MacArthur's
quarters, at Fort Mason, was utilized
as receiving station.
This part of California, in common
with many other points in the west,
has seasons when the soil becomes so
dry that it is difficult, almost impos-
sible, to use the ordinary signal wire
grounded circuit, even when great care
is taken in making the ground.
Advantages Of Tree Method.
Herein rests the great advantage Of
the tree method OF establishing the
circuit. 1t is only matter of few
moments to rig the device, drive the
spike into the tree, and perfect
means of communication has been es-
tablished.
1t is found that the conductivity OF
a growing tree in healthy state, for
telephone currents, is such that the
earth contact nail need not be at the
root of the tree, but may be carried to
a height up the three of thirty feet
of more, and the telephone used from
that elevation with satisfactory re-
suits.
Indeed, experiment shows that good
communication can be maintained
from one treetop to another with the
trunks of both trees in the circuit.
When the operator holds the ground
wire in the hand, and completes the
circuit to earth by merely touching
live twig or leaf, the transmission of
speech is good.
This permits the military scout to
use the vantage point Of the tree ele-
walton for observing the enemy, while
being screened from view by it's foliage
and at the same time to transmit by
telephone to the distant station the
information thus obtained.
