The Seeing Telephone.

Two instruments that may be
called "seeing telephones" have
been perfected almost simultane-
ously, after years of experiment,
By means of these wonderful
instruments person at one end
of a wire can see as we'll as hear
what is going on at the other
end, which may be 500 miles
away, or as far as it has hitherto
been possible to speak through
the telephone.
One instrument, called ''the
televue," is the invention of ].
B. Fowler, of Portland, Ore. 1t
has been tested over a distance
of more than 5000 feet in Port
land, and there is every reason to
believe that it can be used over
far greater distance. The
preliminary patents have been
issued in Washington. The
second seeing telephone is the
invention of Professor Korn, a
well-known scientist of Munich.
II has been fully tested aud
works splendidly. 1t can be used
with a wire of indefinite length,
but is said to give a less vivid
image and to be inferior in many
respects to the American inven-
ton.
The televue will revolutionize
the conditions of modern life,
perhaps even more completely
than the telegraph or telephone.
These instruments have made
communication of a purely in
telleetual character very simple,
but there remain hundreds of
forms of communication of the
greatest Importance to all OF us
that cannot be satisfactorily ac-
complished without the interven-
ton of eyesight. With the
simple telephone it is difficult to
buy goods with confidence, be.
cause naturally one wishes to see
them before buying. But this
difficulty will be entirely removed
by the televue. 1t will simplify
the task of the housewife enor-
mously. She will be able to buy
her dress goods and her pro-
visions and do all her shopping by
televue.

and to show their essential
relations to things eternal. The
Puritan Sabbath i'll gone and will
not return. The Sabbath which
makes no provision for mans
higher nature is satisfact DRY to
nobody. The Sabbath which is
devoted to the highest and most
appealing human interests is
"the Sabbath that was made for
man" And such Sabbaths night
be inaugurated by a Memorial
day in which the Grand Army
of the Republic and church would
find themselves in most con-
genial alliance.
Meanwhile let the vaterans be
assured that their observance of
this day is a great good to the
nation-in spite of the profama-
ton of the day. The fragrance
of the flowers which they strew
upon the graves of their comrades;
the words that are spoken in
their gatherings and even the
thoughts that fill their own
hearts too deep for utterance or
tears, are influences that will be
potent when all the outcries of
this day of merry-making are
forgotten. And the veterans
may be sure that there is re-
cognition of them in the popular
heart that grows stronger
through the years which they
have added to the republic. We
are a thoughtless, but not an
ungrateful. people.

Elk. Gov. Lorenzo Crounse has
declared himself candidate for
the United States Senate. His
candidacy has been endorsed by
the Fontelle Club, of Omaha,
which is anti-Rosewater. This
move would indicate that the
factions of Douglas county are
not liable to get together on
either and unless they COM
promise on the present encum-
bent the senator will not be from
Douglas county.

After reading the report of the
committee appointed to investi-
gate the Chicago packing houses,
where they found all kinds of
filth worked up into canned
goods, it isn't likely the people
of this country will fall over each
other to purchase the products
and thereby increase the sales of
that class of goods.

Suicide at Westerville.

Coroner Morrow was called to
Westerville on Monday to hold
an inquest on the remains of
Frank G. Whitney who was re-
ported to have committed sui
eide, but as the fact that the de-
ceased had taken his own life by
shooting himself through the
heart with a revolver APP
peared to be the cause, the
coroner deemed an inquest un-
necessary. About a month ago
Whitney's wife left him and went
to Iowa and he became despon-
dent over the prospects of the
future. 1t is said he was a mem
Der of the A. O. U. w. and in
sured for 80, 600 in favor of his
wife. Sometime ago he lost a
foot while working in the rail
road yards at Omaha.

Woman Preached Memorial Sermon

The unique idea of having the
Memorial Day sermon preached
by woman-and she a Daughter
OF the South-was conceived and
carried out at Ord, Nebraska.
The lady, Mrs. Sweeney, pre-
luded her sermon with the state
ment that it was the custom of
the people of the south to
decorate not only the graves Of
their fallen heroes, but to do a
like honor to the graves of their
foes. Her sermon is reported as
one of the best ever delivered at
Ord, pleasing all who heard it.

There is no more intelligent
and wide-awake class of citizens
than the commercial travellers,
bu1 even among these an occa-

that has a tendency to give
the entire profession hard
name. The travelling boys, as
a rule, have as great respect for
the law as any class.

Complaint comes from San
Francisco that the insurance
companies are slow in paying
losses caused by the recent
disaster in that city. This is
not as it should be. OF course
the losses were excessive, but
insurance companies paying
promptly are the ones that will
gain in the long run.

REMOVING THE SWITCHES.
Street Car Company is Complying
With Councils Order.

The street car company is removing
it's depot spur at the Iowa Central
crossing of High avenue. The rails
are being taken up, which work causes
the removal of big streak of paving.
The paving will be replaced, however,
and made as good as it was originally.
The street car company had spur
made at the Central and Rock Island
depots with the intention Of operating
depot car, between the hotels and
the railway stations. This car was
to run on its own schedule and indie
pendent of the other car service. The
car was built and equipped. 1t was
larger and heavier than the other cars
in the service and made drafts upon
the current supply that could not be
accommodated at the time. Hence,
the switches were not used.

MINES AND MINING.
Resume of what is Going on at the
Various Camps

The United Mine Workers have re-
ceived the following ruling from the
attorney general respecting the en-
ployment of boys under 16 years or
age in our mines:
Relative to that part of Section 2
of the Child Labor Law, which reads
as follows, or at any work in which
the handling or use of gun powder,
dynamite or other like explosives is
required the question arises, does
this prohibition as applied to coal
mines, mean the entire mine or the
immediate room or working face?
"a careful reading or the language
in question leads me to believe that
this restriction or limitation as to
child labor, under the provisions OF
said section, does not apply to the en-
tire mine, but only to that part in
which gun powder, dynamite and 9TH
err like explosives are handled and
used"
Under the above ruling all boys I'M
der 16 years of age are prohibited
from working in rooms or entries at
the face. This would not prevent
trappers, oilers and drivers under 16
from working in our mines.

PAP DOUGLAS IN CAMP
Veteran Oskaloosa Guardsman the
Life of the Regiment.

Davenport, Ia, July 21.-The Fifty
fourth regiment, Iowa National Guard,
arrived here today after it's four days
march from Muscatine, and encamped
on the western border of Davenport,
where it's tents will stand till Monday
noon. The advance guard of the reg
iment reached the city before noon
and it was but a short time before
the main body arrived, tents were up
and camp established. The march
from Muscatine has been a continu-
GUS sham battle, with skirmishes and
surprises, and the regiment, under
command of Colonel Bishop, and I'M
der the eye of Adjutant General Thrirl
has carried out the tactics and ma
neuvers that would have been features
of march through an enemy's coun-
try in time of actual warfare. Only
a small percentage OF the guardsmen
had to drop out on account of fatigue
or illness, and General Thrift ex-
pressed much satisfaction with the
manner in which maneuvers were car
Tied out.
Pap Douglass in Camp.
The Muscatine journal says: The
most notable character of the regi-
ment is J. w. Douglass, the Oldest
man in the regiment and without a
doubt the oldest man in the Iowa
National Guard. Mr.. Douglass is the
typical white-whiskered veteran and
is'71 years old. He served all through
the civil war. and has had 25 years
of continuous service in the Iowa
guard, which is a record that can be
boosted of by very few. He belongs
to Company F, of Oskaloosa, but pre-
fers to ramble along on the march
wherever he pleases, not remaining
with his company during the time on
the old soldier on the hike" by being
able to smell out place TO fill cam
teen quicker than any one else in the
regiment.
Tells of Civil War.
The old veteran is never happier
than when he has an interested circle
around him listening 10 his stories OF
the civil war, of which he seems to
have an unlimited supply and the WV
id manner in which he portrays the
scenes of those exciting times is
highly interesting to his younger and
inexperienced comrades. He is also
full of jokes and funny stories, which
keep everybody in hearing Of him in
good humor. Being Kentuckian he
has that southern twang to his voice,
which is quite pleasing and everything
about him reminds one or the typical
southerner, although he was union
soldier during the civil war.
Col. Bishop Victim Of Joke
The old white-bearded veteran has
the distinction of being able to pull
off little joke at the expense of Col.
Bishop yesterday in a very clever
manner. He is somewhat or ventril'
oquist and used these powers to carry
out his little joke. The colonel had
just noticed the old soldier and was
asking him some questions about his
length of service. ETC., and had just
turned away when he heard his name
called from some distance. The col
onel looked about him, somewhat
