Every Day Hero1sm.

More than 10000 applications have
been made to the Carnegie Hero Fund
Commission. The fund, started by
Carnegie to provide rewards of money
and medals for acts of heroism, was
created less than year ago.
1t is stated that the cases of heroic
deeds are SO numerous and so we'll
authenticated that the commission is
unable to reward 1.-THE of them.
And it may safely be stated that for
one instance that comes before the
commission there are at least four or
five that are not reported. It is not
out of reason to conclude that in the
United States in the last year there
have been one hundred thousand dis
tinct acts of heroism.
This is cheering.
Whatever may be the failings of our
society the heart of the people is true
and tender and sympathetic.
1t is also notable that nearly all the
cases reported to the commission Fave
occurred in the humber walks of life.
Our nobility is to be found in the COM
mon people.
The heroes of antiquity were few and
mostly of the noble classes. Thew
constitute the sweet SAVIOR of history.
But
Such an instance as that of the hero
who, dying on the battlefield of
Zutphen, pushed the cup Of water from
his own lips because of another's
greater thirst-such heroic self sacri-
flee is not rare thing in our every
day life.-Minneapolis News.

Kellum and John Fry at Elk Chester
Sunday morning Freeland Kerr was
shot and killed.
These men, with number OF other
tobacco growers, were discussing the
sale Of crop of tobacco In which
some Of them were interested. They
had been making calculations in the
dust with sticks, and Fry and Kellum
disputed as to the accuracy of their
figures. Fry called Kel,um a liar, and
the later went to the house of James
Reed, his employer, and, securing his
shotgun, returned to where the other
men were. Fry ran into the tobacco
I barn, but Kerr went toward Kellum,
protesting that he should not shoot
Fry Kellum told him not to come
nearer, and when Kerr did not heed
his warning he raised his gun and
shot him in the left side. Some of the
shot penetrated the heart. and Kerr,
after running a short distance, fell
over dead. Kellum surrendered to the
authorities They all came here from
Lewis county, and it is understood they
had had trouble there before moving
to Fayette county.

Windsor.-CoHrt gossips are eagerly
discussing the latest phase of the
romance of Princess Victoria, the
kings unmarried daughter and her
lOwly admirer, Frederick Robert Nay
lor, a leather glider, whose wages are
six dollars week, and who has been
placed in an insane asylum as a re-
suit of the love letters which he has
addressed to the princess for the past
eight years.
A writer Of the sentimental school
would find material for three-volume
novel in this romantic story. One of
the beautiful features of the story is
that the two have never met NaylOr,
no doubt, would recognize the princess
should they come face to face, but to
the princess his personality is utterly
unknown.
Eight years ago Naylor, enraptured
by the beauty of the princess, wrote
her the first of a remarkable series of
beautiful letters. and in pure woman
illness the princess answered it
This condescension brought another,
and with the passage of time the cor

the strange pair. To the letters Nay
Tor added poetry, finally having print

: tirely impersonal and idyllic way.
News Of the secret correspondent
+ leaked out just before the operation
for appendicitis, which was performed
on the princess a few weeks ago. and
] the police Immediately took action.
Naylor was moved to an insane asy-
lum and on a drawer in his mothers
home containing the letters from the
princess a seal was placed.
! There is very strong suspicion also
that the young man is perfectly sane.
The outcome of the affair will prob
ably be that Naylor will be quietly re-
leased on promising to destroy the let
ters Of the princess.

PHONE ROUND EARTH

Sioux City Men Claim to Have Orr

Make All the People Each

Sioux City. Ia.-Two Sioux City cleo
tricians. NJ. L. Garrett and E. w. Pres
ton, claim to have found a way to talk
around the wolld.
By the use of an invention Just pat
ented by them it will apparently be as
easy for Americans to converse with
their neighbors in Europe as II has been
TO talk ten blocks across the city.
Only girdle the world with wire, these
men declare. and they will make it pos
sible for the Swiss maiden In her Alpine
home to fiirt in the morning with young
men on Florida plantations. Only bisect
the two American continents with cop
per wire. they declare. and it will be
mere child's play for the Iowan to order
cattle from Patagonia over the tele-
phone
And it is true that the instrument is
quite simple. Loosely speaking. IL
might be said that it consists of tele-
phone receiver put to the mouth of a
telephone transmitter. In other words.
that it brings the eaT-piece Of the or
binary telephone up to a mouthpiece
that the earpiece may talk into the
mOuthpiece and sent on the sound
Garrett and Preston solved the prob
lem by putting together what are really
two separate telephones. The central
piece is a Eureka transmitter. such as IS
used by many telephones to-day. This
is simply the diaphragm, or disk, seen
in any mouthpiece. the vibrations Of
which are sent over the wire.
Back of this disk are placed two cleo
tro-magnets. These electromagnetic
are similar to those used in telephone
receivers. so. roughly speaking, it might
be said that two receivers are put
against this disk. The sound from one
direction comes over one of these cleo
tro-magnets. or receivers. is communi-
Gated directly TO the disk, which vi
brates just as the disk in the original
instrument. and the sound is sent on
just as it came from the original instru-
ment. 200 miles away. Sound from the
other direction passes over the other
electromagnetic and to the disk. and
goes on its way in the opposite direc-
ton. and thus people at opposite ends OF
the wire can converse with one another.
Heretofore only one receiver magnet
has been used in devices 0f this kind and
this is why it has never before been pos
sible to talk but one way. The manner
in which the two currents are kept sep
arate is not explained by the inventors
who are not making public some of the
details of their instrument.
