EXPERT ON THE WORK.
John Kennedy, of tho General Electric
Company, Investigating City Light
inn Dlank

Mr.. John Kennedy, Of the General
Electric Company, Chicago, arrived in
the city Monday, and will remain for a
few days looking over at length the en-
tire system Of lighting, as carried on
by the city. Mr.. Kennedy's visit is the
result Of the recent trip to Chicago on
the part of Chairman Webster and Mr..
Mcbride, of the committee on water
works and electric light. The commit
teemen made very thorough examin-
alton of machinery while in Chicago,
but were not just satisfied as to the
best course to pursue. They decided
to have an expert come to the city, in
spect the plant and system in detail,
and then advise the committee
as to the best method of procedure.
The Improvement to the lighting sys-
tenn is not only an important but an
expensive piece of work, and the COM
mittee is anxious to feel that it is NOV
ing in the right direction before taking
the first step. For that reason it de-
cided on securing the advice of an ex-
pert in lighting systems.

Standinu of the Clubs

BY margin of fifteen points OF
tumwa yesterday won the pennant In
the second annual race of the Iowa
State league. Last year Ottumwa also
carried off the honor, and this year,
with practically the same team, Ken
nedy and his teammates again demon
strated their ability. Ottumwa won
on its merits by better, faster and
more consistent playing than any OF
the others. Fort Dodge, a close Sec
ond for weeks, dropped during the
closing days Of the season, and gave
Ottumwa clear field. Oskaloosa
beat out Boone for third by a narrow
margin, and Keokuk finished in fifth
Marshalltown passed Waterloo within
the last four or five days, finishing In,
sixth, and Burlington brought UP the
rear in eighth.
The Grays' finish yesterday was IN
keeping with their play during the
past two months. Fort Dodge hit their
prize pitcher, Parkin, all over the lot.
and wrested the closing bout from the
locals to in game notable for Its
many long hits, the like of which has
never been equaled on the local
grounds before. While Parkin got all
and more than was coming to him,
Bantz, who was up for the visitors,
escaped little better, and the only diff
ference was that the visitors got their
hits In punches and played a clean
fielding game, while the Grays hits
were scattered and their play ragged.
Altogether 1t was a fuzzy finish for
a most humilIating season locally. In
which team, which gave much prom
Use during the first month, went to the
bad and finished near the bottom
when 1t should have landed in the first
division. Despite the disappointment.
local hackers had expected such
finish and really enjoyed watching the
visitors belt the ball and run bases
until their legs wobbled with weari-
ness. The local outfield chased long
drives until it painted with exhaustion
in vain effort to pull down hits.
The details of the winning are the
repetition of long hits, one after the
other. Davidson's and Hupp's three
baggers and F'rost's single Melted Fort
Dodge two in the first. Mackey's AMI
Bantz's singles and Davidson's second
triple scored two more in the second
inning. Yeager's two-bagger, Clark's
double and Middleton's error gave the
visitors two more in the sixth David
son walked in the seventh and Frost
hit two-bagger, Williams throwing
wild to the plate, which Melted two
more, and Davidson's double, Frost's
out and Hupp's grouider to Kruger
gave Davidson chance to score in
the ninth. He beat the throw to the
plate by foot. That tally totaled
nine.
Williams two-bagger and Browns
single game the Grays their first tally
in the opening inning. Browns two
Dagger Kaylor's single and Brugge-
mans hit, which scored Kaylor from
first, added the third in the eighth.

The London Times.

The Times is still easily the most
authoritative journal not only in Eng
land, but in the world, and 1t gives the
cue to all the provincial organs that
share its views. The Times. indeed. is
not a newspaper; it is the Times, it is
an institution, a necessity. as much a
part of the unchallenged order Of
things as the monarchy itself. That
the Times is sometimes heavy. that it
is often prejudiced and intolerant, es-
pecially on Irish affairs. is undeniable; ;
but its unrivaled foreign service, the
excellence and authority of its special
articles from all countries and on all
political subjects, and its magnificence
in throwing open its correspondence
columns to arguments on all sides OF
every public question, more than jus
tify its reputation and more than ex-
plain its position and influence. 1t
comes nearer to being a national forum
than any journal in the world.-Syd.

The postprandial orators were cor

speech was made. When the banquet
had reached the oratorical stage little
books were distributed among the
guests and in these booklets were
printed the speeches of the gentle
men who had accepted Invitations to
respond to toasts. London Truth says
this banquet was an epoch-making af-
lair. 1t was certainly a unique one
and not unworthy of imitation on this
side of the Atlantic. The Bartholo'

WIRELESS TELEGRAPH
IT WILL DO WONDERFUL THINGS
President Of Wireless Telegraph Com.
pany Tells Denver People What
II Expects to Accomplish.

In a recent speech before the Denver
Real Estate Exchange, Abraham
White. president of the De Forest
Wireless Telegraph Company, told
what his system expects to do.
Wireless telegraphy has come to
stay. Ii is great aid to commerce,
and its influence in the development of
trades as well as its great life and
property. saving feature, cannot be too
strongly emphasized. The government
of the United States has already recos.
nized the merits of the De Forest sys-
.em and has installed 1t on all their
battleships. The government is just
beginning to learn It's merits on land.
but several shore stations and naval
bases have been equipped with wire
less apparatus. Foreign countries have
set the seal of approval on this great
enterprise and it is thought that in the
near future 1t will be internationally
used.
Three stations will be erected in
Denver near the suburbs, and one sta
tion on the summit of Pixies Peak. Ap-
paratus has been sent for and some Of
it has already arrived, so we can prom
lse, truthfully, that work of erection
Will soon be commenced. One OF the
Denver stations will be situated near
City park and plans have been drawn
for its instant erection as soon as the
apparatus arrives. No definite loca-
tion has been decided upon for the
other two. but in all probabilities one
of them will be situated on one of Den
yer's highest buildings.
Perhaps the greatest benefciaries
of the new industry will be the news
papers of the country. At the least
they will be the first to benefit mater
tally. for the new system has been
proven much cheaper that the old
wired telegraph. / will even OFFER
the prediction that in a short time ev-
cry weekly paper in the country will
become a daily with complete reports
of not only routine telegraph news, but
also special reports. and all through
the use of our company. The cost OF
such a service will be so reasonable
that 1t will be within easy reach Of all.
From one transmitting station in
Denver. wireless news can be sent sim
ultaneously to hundreds of thousands
of different points, scattered all over
the country. The transmitting ma
chine can be so operated that any
number of aerograms can be trans.
mitted. containing different matter. at
the same time. These are only a few
of the wonders OF the new discovery.
/ Wireless signal devices on trains will
to a great extent solve the great prob
lem of preventing accidents and col
lislons. Its life-saying merits on the
sea are known full well, but there can
not be too much said on the life and
property. saving merits on land
