A CALIFORNIA TRIP
Winter Months Afford Best Opportunity

Winter Months Afford Best Opportunity
for Merchants and Many Others to
Get Away from Business. ,l y.
From the Commercial Bulletin, Mime
apolis, Saturday, Dec: 2, 1905. ;
Hundreds of people who read this
paper are planning a, trip to the west
coast and stay Of few weeks at least
In lower California. - a.
Winter is vacation season and
California the vacation land.
Which way shall we goq That is
Hight fae fN here the ~8maha Road' comes ONES
forward with through car service to
California unsurpassed in the history Of
railway travel.
Three times each week through
tourist car leaves the twin cities over
sia One goes goes by ns Omaha, Ogden,
goes by Omaha, KANSAS City and
thence over the Santa Fe through
Southeastern Colorado, and across New
Mexico and Arizona to Los Angeles. g..
A third route, which is already prov
ms, decidedly popular, is by Omaha,
9dep Salt Ped Lake snd City and down the
recently constructed and known as the
Clark road. This route takes the
| tourist through country full Of inter
esting features and much of it but lit
tie known until this railway was built.
It runs just below the famous Death
Valley region and its equally famous
mining camps, crossing parts OF Utah,
Nevada and California. This, is the
shortest through car route between
the twin cities and lower California.
This gives the tourist choice Of three
, splendid routes, the best through car
service, and all at a reasonable price
The traveller has no changes to make
after leaving the. twin cities. These
cars. their appointments and the serv.
ice in every respect, are all that the
most particular and critical travellers
and, as successful North Dakota mer
chant recently said to the writer "Yor
always meet nice people travelling or
the Omaha g tourist sleeping cars"
/ Tourist cars are the preference Of
those numerous people who wish t
! travel comfortably at reasonable cost
Each car has its colored porter il
charge. Cars are vestibuled, Lighted
with gas, carpeted, have comfortabl,
cts, pillows, berth curtains and clea1
bed linen is furnished each night
These cars are heated in the sam
! manner as frst-class Pullman sleepers
except that each heater is supplied witt
an, enclosed oven in which coffee, tea
etc. may be warmed, and adjoining /
sink with hot water faucet.
General Passenger Agent T. W
Teasdale Of the Omaha road, who ha
given the subject of California trave
much study and who has been greatl,
instrumental in bringing the through
car service to its present high stand
ard, is much pleased with the splendi
J endorsements the travelling public
giving the Omaha 8 fine arrangement
for California travel. He believes tina
travel California-ward will show a BIZ
! increase this season: Il

SPOOKY FINGERS
WORK TYPEWRITER
Indiana Man Says He Can Run
the Keyboard by Wireless
,A, Telegraph.

Journal Special Service.
Chicago, Dec. 27.-After five years
labor and experimenting, Elmer A. Bur-
lingame, La Porte, Ind, electrician
and inventor, has announced the COM
pletion of apparatus that will revolu
tionize present methods Of telegraphic
communication and news dissemination.
The invention is printing wireless
telegraph. The operator who sends mes
sages writes or prints it on an ordinary
typewriter. This prints in the usual
way, but in addition flashes a message
thru space to receiving station, where
the copy is printed on a similar ma
chine exactly like the first copy.
The receiving station must be at
tuned to the incoming Hartzean wave,
this giving secrecy and making it pos
sible to have several sets of instruments
working at once without interference.
This non-interference is said to be so
complete that all sending instruments
may be connected to the same sending
wire, and all receiving instruments to
another wire.
Inventor Burlingame claims messages
may be sent by his printing system
about five times as fast as with the
Morse code, and the necessity of wait
ing for an idle line is done away with.
It is claimed by connecting linotype
in Offices within radius Of 500 miles
it will be possible to operate them
simultaneously from one sending sta
ton. The cost of equipping the receiv-
ing station will be about $1,000, while
the cost of the sending station will be
about $4,000. La Porte capitalists, it
! is declared, are preparing to- build a
! factory to manufacture the apparatus.

RICH SPINSTER IS
COACHMAN' BRIDE
Charity Worker in Ithaca, N. Y.
Astounds the Society People
by Marriage.
journal Special Service.

ma iSiaea' single ms for ': forty eight years,
devoting the greater portion Of her
time to charity work and social reform,
Margaret D. Fisher, a woman of wealth
and leader Of society in this city, has
shocked the community by marrying
"Pat' Kelly, her coachman.
The groom had been employed in the
Seaman livery stable, being hired to
work about the barn and to 60 out with
orders. More than a year ago he drove
a hack for Miss Fisher while she called
upon the elite Of the city and the Cor
nell university faculty. Kelly proved
obliging and when Miss Fisher wanted
to make calls a second time, she asked
that he be sent. Later she took to rid
ing in buggy with Kelly as her driv-
err and for several months Kelly had
been regarded at the stable as part of
Miss Fishers order for rig. There
was nothing in this that caused com
ment. Miss Fisher was an ardent
worker in the Social Service league,
the Congregational church and various
other organizations. She was promi-
nent member of the Woman g club and
participated in the local movements for
reform and elevation of the proletariat.
Being worth half a million and gener-
Gus, her charities were many. She is
large and handsome and is supposed to
have refused many offers Of marriage.
Kelly is 43 years old and also large.
His onll y claim to beauty, however, is

WRIGHT'S RACE VIEWS
TO COST HIS PLACE
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Washington. Dec. 27.-Luke Wright
will not return to the Philippines as
governor-general, it having been de-
cided by the administration to appoint
James F. Smith, formerly of San
Francisco, but now a member of the
commission, as the successor of Gov
ernor Wright. The change is likely to
take place in the near future.
During the last year affairs in the
Philippines have not been running
smoothly, and since Governor Taft left
the islands there has been trouble in
administering the government there.
Governor Wright has not adapted him
self to the conditions in the islands. He
is a southern man and has pronounced
ideas on the color question. During
the Taft regime there were receptions
at the Malacanan palace which were
attended by the native men and
women. These occasions were used to
promote harmonious conditions, but
when Governor Wright took charge of
affairs there was an entire change In
the social functions. The natives were
not invited to meet the officials and
they have been gradually estranged. 1t
is declared that Commissioner Smith
possesses qualifications which .espe
cially fit him for the discharge of the
duties Of governor-general. y, - =.

POPE GIVES LIGHT
...-.. ON FRENCH RUPTURE

:. Paris, Dec. GA French transla-
ton Of Vatican white book regard
ing the separation Of church and state
disclaims any intention Of replying to
those whom it calls the detractors Of
not to offend anyone, saying that its
chief objects are to enlighten the pub
lie regarding the facts, and to prevent
the handing down Of misstatements
connected with the history Of such an
important event.
In the leading chapters an effort is
made to demonstrate that the entire
onus for the rupture rests with various
French cabinets. The book next refutes
the accusation that separation was
rendered inevitable by the attitude of
the church. Then follow arguments
showing the alleged baselessness Of the
charges brought against the church of
acting contrary to the interests Of the
republic.

BIG STOCK BOOM IS
ON IN WALL STREET
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
New York, Dec. 27.-Wall street is
in the midst Of full-fedged bull move
ment. Stocks has not had such a boom
since the great imitation of 190O-l9O1.
A bull movement means prosperity for
everybody except the bears in the
financial district. For years the brok-
ers have suffered from the effects Of
the great depression which followed the
Northern Pacific panic of May 8, 1901.
Prices reached their lowest in 1908, but
recovery has since been gradual until
recently.
The week before Christmas is usually
time Of depression in Wall street.
This year, however, proved the excep-
ton to the rule. The bull movement
started last week in spite of the high
prices for money. Wall street is now
as lively as it was five years ago. The
transactions are not as large as they
were. then, but the public is just be-
ginning to become interested.

LAWT0N'S BIG FUND FOR

= Special Correspondence,
! 5LAWTON, Ok, Sept. 26-The inten-
tion Of Congress was that the money
which the citizens of Lawton paid for
their business and residence lots should
be devoted to the needed public improve
ments of the city and the tributary coun-
try.
The act OF Congress opening this coun-
try provided that the government should
survey Lawton and sell the lots at public
auction, and that this "lot fund" should
be held in trust by the government "for
the construction of city water-works,
sewer systems, schoolhouses, county
courthouse, and county Jail at Lawton,
and the building of bridges over the
county" This lot fund aggregated near
ly half million, Of which about so per
cent has already been expended under the
approval of the Secretary of the Interior
Thus it happened that Lawton has in
| full operation one Of the most modern
and complete water-works systems in
all Oklahoma, and better than anything
in either Kansas or Arkansas. The gov
eminent engineers spent year deter
| mining the source of the water supply.
! Every piece Of material or work on or
| about the Lawton water-works had to
pass the inspection Of these officials, and
competent engineers declare that there
Is not another such a system in all the
| Western states.
The complete sanitary sewer system
was constructed in the same thorough
manner, and covers every lot in the orig.
inal government town site. An extern.
sive storm sewer system was also bull
by the government, which will assist the
surface water in passing through the
city without flooding the streets. Thi!
