GONE TO ATTEND
SWiTcHMAN'S FUNERAL.

Mrs. James Slaughter and Mrs. Ed
Clarity left yesterday for Cheyenne
to attend the funeral of ]. E. Sims, the
switchman who was killed in the
yards at Cheyenne Saturday morning,
as told in a special dispatch to this
paper Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Sims
leaves a wife and two children, a son
and daughter. The remains will be
taken to Brookfield, Mo-, and Mrs.
Slaughter thought when she left here
that she would accompany the Wits
and children to hat city. Mr.. Sims
was a resident of this city, coming
here from Brookfield and working in
the yards here. Finding the climate
did not agree with his wife's health,
he ven first to Brookfield and then
to Cheyenne about two years ago. His
death was very sudden n there is
some mystery, as no one saw him fall
and it was some minutes before he
was missed. His body was found w.
derneath the wheels of a car, the car
having to be moved before the re-
mains could be taken up and delivered
to an undertaken.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE
ON RAILROAD TRACK,

Jennie O'Connor, aged about IA years
and residing with her parents on The
west side, had a remarkable escape
from death in front of a locomotive at
the Fremont street crossing this morn
ing, several eye witnesses from a dis
lance believing she had actually fallen
under the engine and been ground to
pieces. So sure were they that DR..
Stevens was summoned and fastened
to the scene, finding the girl unhurt.
Miss O'Connor and two other girls,
one of them her sister, were on their
way to school and attempted to pass
in front of an incoming freight train.
Her companions got across safely, but
Agnes stumbled against the rail Of a
side track and fell almost IN the track
upon which the engine was moving.
but by are presence of mind threw
herself out of the way and escaped
without a scratch. The two tracks
are close together.

MANY MESSAGES AT ONCE.
Alternating Current Allows Duplicates
Over Same Wire,

over Same Wire.
The invention of new methods for
sending a number of messages stimuli.
%taneously over the same wire con-
tinues. and one of the uost recent Oh
these lie due to Prof. Mercadier of the
French High School for post and tele-
graph. In this method an alternating
current is employed whose frequency
depends upon a tuning fork having a
ct\;ain definite number of vibrations.
The current of such an interrupted
circuit can be broken by an ordinary
key. and signals transmitted over the
ter. On the line at the distant station
are a number of so-called monotele-
phones, which respond to current Of
n frequency. and are tuned to the
forks in the circuits at the sending
station.
Thus each particular circuit has it's
own telephone, which is connected by
tubes with the ears of the receiving
operators and responds to the signals
made at the sending station. In all,
twelve transmission circuits are pro
vided, sc that twenty-four messages
can be sen over the line simultane
ously. A double line. or metallic cir.
cult, is required. but otherwise the
apparatus is comparatively simple,
and involves merely the adjustment
OF the tuning forks and suitable con-
densers and inductance coils.--Week's
Progress.
