FLASHES FIGURES OF FIRE
New Kind of Cash Register Gives
Further Protection Against
Dishonesty.

A cash register appears to be an essential
piece of apparatus in all mercantile estab-
lishments, and the Celebrations and embel-
lishments that have been devised for the
greater protection of the purchaser and the
seller have made this device the most COM
plicated mechanism in use by the general
public
Not content with the protecting features
already provided, one of the largest manu-
facturers has just secured n new. patent
which affords still greater protection for
both parties to a transaction. The dis
tinguishing feature Of the new Improvement
is visible display of the amount of the
sale at a distance from the cash register
This unique end is attained by the intro
duction of electric commutators, contacts
and electrically lighted universal numerals.
operated automatically by the manipulation
Of the register keys. The numerals are
formed of block letters, illuminated with
electric lights and so designed that any
numeral can be flashed out of the same
space by varying the contacts-that is by
obscuring certain lines and illumining
others.
Whenever a purchase is registered tbs
amount of the sale is flashed out In large
figures on a conspicuously located electric
sign, so that there does not appear to be
the slightest opportunity for false registra-
tion without detection. The Indicator COM

KELLEY DENIES EVERYTHING
Trustee of Mormon Church Replies
to Charge Filed I'm Dis
trict Court.

e. L. Kelley, for himself as trustee and
for the Reorganized Church Of Jesus Christ
OF Latter Day Saints, has filed an answer
to the suit OF James A. Woodman, as guar
dian of Henry Jones. heretofore reviewed
in The Bee.
The answer denies that any pressure was
exercised on Jones by Kelley or by the
church TO induce him to make a deed to
the church of a certain lot in Omaha, or
that the church or anyone connected with
II prevailed upon him to go to the Saints
Home at Lamont, Ia. 1t is also denied that
any person connected with the church has
a gold watch or other property belonging
10 Jones, or that any conspiracy was
made TO have Susan Jones come from Iowa
to marry Henry. The answer further sets
ou that Jones was So years old or beyOno
understanding and attending to business in
April, 1899. A claim is set up that the
church authorities at Lamont advanced
money to Jones for his maintenance there
and in Omaha to the amount Of S2GO. and
denies ever having received any rents OF
profits because OF the deed made by Jones.
