WIRELESS NEWS BY KITES.
Alexander Graham Bell and Abraham
White Succeed in Experiments,


Washington, D. c., April 9.-For the
first time wireless telegraph messages
have been received by means of kites.
The experiments were conducted at
Arlington, Va, under the joint auspices
Of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, the
well-known inventor of the telephone,
and President Abraham White, of the
American De Forest Wireless Tele-
graph Company, whose. system is en-
ment. DIR. Bell is making extensive
experiments with tetrahedral kites,
which possess tremendous lifting pow
er and unusual steadiness, and with
which he hopes to eventually solve the
problem of aerial navigation The
work done by the De Forest company
for the government and at its various
stations thruout the United States
is we'll known. Between them the prob
lem of transatlantic aerial message
will soon be solved. A tetrahedral kite
1000 feet in the air. was attached to a
steel wire, and carrying an antenna
wire 400 feet in length. The messages
We're received thru the antenna wire
and the bodies of two men, one touch
ing the wire and the other the receiver.
Among the messages thus received was
one from the steamer Bermudian, a
hundred miles from Sandy Hook and
$50 miles from the kite DR.. Bell has
gone abroad, where DIR. Lee De Forest
is also conducting wireless telegraph
experiments with the kites.

the number of cattle carried over will
be larger than usual. Several buyers
who had orders in their pockets took
advantage of the accumulation and
the dullness in the trade and bought
freely Saturday. One man from wes-
tern Illinois bought go head of med
Jun weight steers. This is the largest
consignment that has gone that direc-
tion this year. Most of the cattle went
east, chiefly to Michigan and ONO,
and many We're very good in quality
Hhe choicest steers were the ones
mostly In demand and these sold free
ly all week and as high as any time
this wear. The $3.50 notch was reach
cd twice last week, but the cattle which
sold at this price were exceptionally
good in quality and had good weight
Most of the business was done at $40
10. tho a fair percentage of 60o 90
700 pound stockers sold at $3ooW3.So
only tail-end stuff sold below $3.50.

Money Held For Payment of
Death or Sick Benefits Ex-
empt Under Law
TOOK ACTION
Law Which Heretofore Seemed to Fa-
vor the Old Line Companies Correct
ed by the Assembly So AS to Include
the Fraternal Insurance Business -
May Bring Headquarters to Iowa.

Council Bluffs, April all money
held by fraternal orders for the pay
ment of death or sick benefits will be
exempt from taxation in Iowa, the bill
so providing having been passed by the
senate last Wednesday and by the
house on Friday shortly before final
insurance companies have been exempt
on the ground that. they represent a
debt to the beneficiaries which is def
nitely computed year by year and
credited on the companys books to
each policy In the fraternal societies
the reserve Is not so apportioned but
kept in lump sum until the death Of
the policy holder This difference in.
procedure caused distinction to be
drawn between the two, and it was to
resolve the legal doubt resulting there
from that the bill was introduced and
passed.
For a while it looked as if the bill
was to be suffocated along with lot of
others. There was no particular rea-
son why any city but Council Bluffs
should feel any great interest in it, and
mad it not been for Senator Saunders
persistency in looking after it during
the last day or two of the session, it
would have gone by the board.
Council Bluffs was especially inter-
ested in seeing it become law, by rea-
son of the fact that the Woodmen of
the World and the Royal Highlanders
have been contemplating moving out Of
Nebraska on account of adverse rulings
by the courts. The supreme court of
Nebraska has held that the reserve Of
the Woodmen is subject to taxation.
The Woodmen have made up their
minds to leave Omaha, where their
headquarters now are, unless they are
given some sort of relief, and establish
themselves in another state. The Roy
al Highlanders, with their headquarters
at Aurora, are in the same circum-
stances. Both organizations have con-
suited with the Commercial Club and
Council Bluffs is regarded as having
good pre- ects for getting both in case
they carry out their intention to leave
Nebraska.

Chicago April 9-Cattle receipts
We're light, and prices showed a gem

Packers, shippers and exporters were
in the market early. The quality Of
offerings was good.
Watch out for this weeks cattle
market" said big local buyer Our
coolers are full of beef and the same
conditions prevail in the east. 1t is
nearing the end of the Lenten season

the local and eastern concerns in a
poor way to buy literally there Is dam
ger of badly glutted markets even UNI

shippers had best lie low until the
situation improves. A big slice was
knocked off values last week and more
will surely follow in this if the re-
ceipts are very liberal. The trade will
require two weeks of light receipts be-

Suckers and Feeders.

Chicago, April 9.-Not as many
stockers and feeders were wanted last
week as usual by country buyers. The
week. before there was also an apathet-
il feeling in the trade and traders We're
NOT We'll pleased with conditions. Reas-
ons given for the slack demand is that
feeders feel that the market is going
lower and that they think that they
are abnormally high at the present
fine The attendance of Eastern buy
ers was not as large last week as usual
and as most of the demand has come
from that source lately. the decrease
in this demand was keenly felt on the
market. Local traders got pretty well
filled up early in the week and they
continued to hold a pretty good sup
ply until near the finish. Saturday
there was a fairly good clean-up, tho

Half Dozen Barrels Of Sorghum Flow
Into Council Bluffs Streets,

. INV SSAtSI 0IuuS SSIOSISs
Council Bluffs, April 9.-Two dozen
calls reached the office of the street
commissioner Saturday about bad
mudhole in street used for good
deal of heavy traffic. The officer went
to investigate and was surprised to find
instead of mud, a large quantity of
sorghum molasses on the ground. The
liquid had leaked out of a tank belong
ing to a company which manufacturers
stock food. One of the employees had
carelessly left a faucet partly open all
night, and half dozen barrels of the
sticky fluid had flowed out upon the
ground. 1t overspread low place in
the street. and when teams We're driv-
en- thru it their hoofs thereafter
stuck to the pavement, while the
wheels likewise showed a strong at
tachment for the cobblestones. The
company that lost the molasses put an
end to the troubles by spreading Gin
ders over the place.
