The Televue.

Two instruments that may be called see
ing telephones" have been projected a nc t
simultaneously, after years of experiment By
means of these wonderful instruments person
at one end of wire can see well as e r
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. It
has been tested over distance of more than E,
900 feet in Portland, 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 tele-
phone is the invention of Professor Korn, we'll
known scientist of Munich. 1t has been fully
tested and works splendid1y. 1t can be used
with wire of indefinite length, but is said TO
give less vivid image and to be in ferior in many
respects to the American invention.
The televue will revolutionize the conditions

The CITY court is in session and turning

The season of 1904 Fitzgerald SHIPPED l.
154 bales of cotton. This season she will ship
five or six times as much and the crop is mighty
short at that. In three more seasons we will
take our place along with the big shipping
points.
The Enterprise gives three papers brimming
full of live matter to its subscribers every week
for two dollars per year. The average country

The north and west are in the throes of their
first blizzard of the season and winter tourists
will swarm southwark soon. With the opening
of her splendid tourist hotel, the Lee-Grant,
Fitzgerald will be prepared to extend typical
southern hospitality to several hundred north
ern cousins.
While the price of cotton is much better,
the staple can not be said to be high. Eleven
cents cotton is cheap cotton when every other
commodity is bringing an extremely high price.
Nearly every other crop is abundant this year.
Cotton is the only great crop of the United States
that will not make an extremely high record for
the year 1906. Cotton ought to be worth twelve
and half to fifteen cents under present condi-
tions. We do not advise the farmers to sell ex-
cept where it is necessary to meet their oblga-
tons.

Every once in while there is some

scheme to change the current of Lake

of turning the waters of the Red river

PRIEST, ORATOR AND PUBLIC MAN
Such is Father CIeary Who Will be
Here Wednesday.

The announcement that Father Clea-
month meets with the favor of all. He
is to speak here under the auspices of
the Catholic Order of Foresters and
will appear in the auditorium of the
new school house. In signing the con-
tract with the bureau under which
Father Cleary lectures the Foresters
were compelled to guarantee a large
sum Of money and they hope that the
attendance on the evening of the lee
ture will be large enough to more than
pay the expense Of getting him here.
The subject of the lecture is ''Ameri-
can Citizenship 1t is among the
most popular of the subjects taken by
this noted man, and never fails to hold
the attention of his audience from the
beginning to the end of the lecture.
The lecture will be in English and a
cordial invitation is given to every
body to secure ticket and attend the
lecture.
The ST. Peter Herald says: Rev.
Father Cleary has fine voice and
magnificent presence. He was listened
to in almost breathiess silence for over
two hours. The lecture was rare
intellectual treat as we'll as financial
success, and the committee of the lee.
ture bureau made no mistake in the
| selection of Father Cleary.
