limelight for Is years. He has worn the
championship belt for four years and
has been in the heavyweight class for
a long time. More thon that he gets
his gate money regularly whether he
wins or loses. But sometimes when the
telephone in the Gazette Office is having
a fit, and the man with a firm set
mouth, and naughty air is in the bust
ness office stopping his paper, there
comes q funny thought to the editorial
mind: What do you suppose Roosevelt
would do if he was running the Oyster
Bay Tribune; would he go right after
the gamblers and saloonkeepers and vi
olatorS of the law, who lived in his
town. would he print the item that
showed how the local banker was goug-
ing in his interest account, would he
dare to go to the court house and get
the personal property tax list and run It
or would he consider the larger good
and take his typewriter in hand and
blaze away at the practice of pOlyga-
my in Utah, the iniquity of the fruit
trust in California, of the violation of
the game laws in Maine. 1t is one
thing to be a president with $4,000 a
year, raining on the tin roof whether
you work or not. and quite another
thing to be the editor of paper in a
board sidewalk town, dependent upon
retaining the good graces of the people
for your board and keep. There is some
thing inspiring in the sweetly solemn
thought that you don't fear Saturday
night that gives president a courage
in busting the trusts, which a country
editor knowing that the boys are tired
of taking orders for their weeks wages
on the clothing store-someway doesn't
feel Roosevelt is brave man, but
if he was running a country paper, and
found that the chairman Of the printing
committee in the council was getting a
good many orders for pauper groceries
in his store contrary to the letter of the
statute-do you suppose the president
would open up in the next weeks paper
and print all of the news?
Cleveland on the Tripod.
"Grover Cleveland did brave thing
in sending the troops to Chicago, but
if he had been running the BuZzard' S
Bay Weekly World, do you suppose he
would have had the nerve to jump on

the Cleveland children when they had
the scarlet fever? Joe Cannon is sup
posed to be Indifferent to public

is the station or manual block system,
under which the movement of trains
is directed by station agents acting
under telegra pTic orders or standing
rules. The third system is the cleo
trio or automatic block signal, which
maintains at least a safe distance be-
tween two trains running on the same
track, unless the signals are disre-
garded by the engineer and crew.
While adopted primarily as a safety
device, the wireless telegraph on the
Alton road viii also prove an addi-
tionaI convenience to its patrons.
They will be able to send or receive
messages while travelling anywhere on
the line when all passenger trains
have been equipped with the necessary
apparatus. It viii first be placed on

Onaga, Kas, June 10. W. Dunn

the new railroad while there, and was
highly pleased at the interest mani

the new town were completed ex-

officials spoke highly of Onaga, and
are anxious to begin work here on the
new depot, yards, etc. They are go

Onaga will be materially altered when
the railroad buildings are completed
and many thousand dollars in value
will be added to its wealth.

dent Roosevelt is remarked the world
over. A man can afford to be cheer
full who doesn't have to take anything
out in trade. and gets all his salary in
cash. But supposing, after he had
plugged away for twenty years making
the best possible paper for Oyster Bay,
he should find out that a number of
his neighbors and best friends were
encouraging a young man to come
down from New York and start a
bright, snappy paper, and were telling
this youngster that if some man would
just come to Oyster Bay with a little
enterprise, he would have no trouble
in running Roosevelt out of town in a
year or SO! Wouldn't that take the
kinks out of his grin and make his
face look like an aggravated case of

simple life and have pie for breakfast
in his present high estate, but II he

the fun of getting the smell of news ink

pleasure of making three days speech

In Railroad Circles.

Chicago, June 1O=-WireIess tele-
grams were sent to and from the AL
ton limited" train Thursday when it
was running at the rate OF a mile a
minute from here to St. Louis. So sat
fsfactOry was the test that President
FELTON, has decided that all passenger
trains on the Chicago & Alton railroad
shall be equipped to send and receive
wireless messages.
The experiment was conducted by
the officials of the American De Forest
Wireless Telegraph company. The
transmitting wires were strung along
the top of the train and the inStru-
ments were installed in the observa-
ton car where DR.. De Forest was in
charge. With him We're General Pas
senger Agent George J. Charlton and
a number of other Alton officials.
President FELTON,, from the south side

message of inquiry.
Mr. Charlton replied:

for this reason DR.. De Forest does not

changed between the alton limited"
trains north bound and SOuthbOund
while both We're running at full speed,
while one was running and the other

were stopped Wireless messages were
also sent to both trains from Chicago,

the trains to the three cities.
To Decrease Accident Risk.
The main object of the Alton roa
in eouipping its passenger trains for
receiving and sending wireless mes
sages is to still further decrease the
risk of accident. Including this, the
Alton will have four distinct systems
for insuring the safety of trains.
The first system is the original train

A MILL DAM GOES OUT.
Big Loss at Junction City on Smoky
Hill River.

Junction City, Kas., June 1O.-The
Star mills dam was washed out Of
the Smoky Hill river here by the high
water that is now just going down.
The dam was undermined near the
middle, and when it gave way the
structure parted over the place that
had been washed out undern cath. The
larger portion of it was carried down
stream, lowering the river about -
feet above the mill.
The dam cost $4,000. Two years
ago $4,000 was spent in raising it's
height and protecting the river banks
above it. This water power was
worth close to $4,000, and it is prob
able this disaster will cause its aban-
donment.

THAT ROCK ISLAND CUTOFF.
Report That Division VIII Be Located
at Clay Center

at Clay Center.
Clay Center, Kas., June lot is
said that when the Rock Island cutoff
is built from Fairbury to the southern
point it will not come directly to Clay
Center but will strike the main line
at MorganvilIe, then down that line
to Broughton, and thence on south.
It seems to be the general opinion
that Clay Center will then be made a
division point. It is the desire of the
Rock Island to make all of their
divisions $50 miles in extent. Clay
Center is just a few miles more than
that from Kansas City. A division
could be made to this town, then
PhilIipsburg, Goodland and Denver,
making each one about $50 miles
long. The cutoff would also be con
venient with a division here. All of
these things are greatly desired, and
maybe some day they will come.
