CARRIES WIRELESS IN POCKET
Boy Who Can Telegraph Home as He
Walks Along the Road.

Walter J. Willenborg is a boy who
has decided 10 conquer the problems
of wireless telegraphy. He has his
own laboratory adjoining his bedroom.
He has constructed a wireless receiv-
ing station at the top of the house.
Curious 10 see what could be done
on a small scale, says St Nicholas, he
invented and made a portable tele-
graphic station that he could carry
about In his pockets. From the top
button Of his coat he hung a slender
wire that reached to the ground and
SO arranged that when he walked
along a country road the wire would
trail upon the ground behind him.
In his pocket he carried little bat
terry On a bit of board as big as
your hand he placed complete wire
less transmitting apparatus. induction
coil, baby sounder and all. supporting
this fairy telegraph station by fasten-
ing it TO belt around his waist.
From this travelling station he sent
messages from a country road to his
T., ks at home eight miles away in
town, telling them where he was and
where he was going and that he would
reach home in time for supper.

CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS
Cases Disposed of at the Seat of
Justice Since Our Last
Issue.

Charles l.. Carey, a South Haven drug
store man who had previously plead
guilty to violation OF the local option
law by keeping place where insoxicat-
ing liquors were illegally sold, appeared
in court for the purpose OF taking his
medicine. He was sentenced to 90 day s
Imprisonment in the county boarding
house, kept by Sheriff Chappell, also to
pay fine of 800 and s3l 50 costs, and
in default OF payment to 80 days add
tional Imprisonment. The fine alone
would not have hurt very much, but the
imprisonmeDt-Ah, there's the rub.
James LaMott, previously convicted
Of having abandoned his family, was or
dered by the court to give bond in the
sum OF 500, conditioned to pay his wife
81 90 per week and to report to the
court on the first day of next October
term.
Carrie r. Lockard VS.. Chas. II. Van
Alstyne, Matthew Van Alstyne and Fred
Niffeneggar, resulted 10 verdict in ia.
vor of plaintiff IN sum of $3.50 and costs.
Chas. H. Van Alstyne like Carey,
above mentioned, is South Haven
druggist and the other two are sureties
on mis- bond The plaintiff brought suit
alleging for cause of action that her hus-
band, Bradford Lockard, had been lille
gally furnished with intoxicating liquor
at Defendant Van Alsty ne's pace of
business and that by reason of the hus-
bands intoxication and drinking habits
she has been greatly injured in her
means of support and had suffered
greatly, both physically and mentally.
She laid her damage at $1,000. The
limit OF her recovery would have been
$1,000 as that was the amount of the
druggist bond The jury balloted all
the way from $3.50 damage to $1,000 and
finally compromised for $780, The case
may, perhaps, be taken to the supreme
court. Wives who have drunken hus
bands will be greatly interested in the
final outcome of this case. Messrs
Bessey and Heckert were attorneys for
plaintiff and Barnard for defendant.
Hattie A. Welcher vs.. Henry Anthony.
Case dismissed with costs.

FOR SAFETY IN THE SCHOOLS.
European Schemes Intended to Guard
Against Disaster.

How to guard against disaster in
schools in case of fire is subject
which is receiving much attention In
the large cities Of Europe. Some OF
the preventive measures suggested by
correspondents of Vienna paper
make interesting reading for Ameri-
cans. One man writes that in one or
the small towns in Bohemia the
school sessions are held in two old
buildings which were once residences.
BY an iron door one may go from one
building to the other, and in case or
fire in one house the children have
but TO go to this door and find safety
in the building In which there Is no
fire. This plan should be adopted.
he says, for all the city schools. They
usually stand among dwelling houses.
and from each there should be an ex-
II to the house next door. That would
make the schools safe and prevent
panics" Another man writes that the
expense of placing new doors on the
schools TO prevent catastrophe
would cost too much IAN danger
could be obviated." he says, by leav-
ing the doors TO the street wide open
while the schools are in session" No
correspondent suggested fire escapes.

THE Lawrence Times in last
weeks issue under the heading
"Robbed-Not Beaten" gave an
account of the Field Day ball
game, between Lawrence and
Paw Paw, in which he clearly
intimates that the manager of
the Paw Paw team, the umpire
and everyone connected with the
team were guilty of a serious
offense. We don't know whether
the editor Of the Times saw the
game or not, but the article in
question is unsigned and the edi
tor must assume the eSponsibility
therefore. The charges which
the Times makes are false and
anyone who saw the game knows
it. The charge is a scandalous
and libelous one and the conduct
Of the editor Of the Times in per
hitting such rot to be publish.
ed is reprehensible, and should
not pass unnoticed by those
accused. Mr.. Spaulding who
umpired the game is member
of the Western State Normal
faculty. He is a gentleman,
held in higl esteem by all who
know him, and whose integrity
is unquestioned, and who had
no reason to favor one team over
another. To intimate that he
accepted money, or was other
wise induced to make unfair de-
cisions in this game is prepos-
ferrous and extremely silly. The
game was played fairly and won
on it's merits. Lawrence hap
pened to be on the losing end,
aud it would be in much better
taste for the Times to take the
defeat gracefully, and in sports
manlike manner, than to raise
i. the absurd line and cry "Robbed
by the Umpire. Good, clean
athletics in high schools and
colleges are conductive to good
scholarship and the better devel
opment Of both hemind and body
of the student who participates.
He should be taught true sports
manship however, to put forth
the best there is in him to win
in whatever contest he may par
ticipate. Don't emulate the spir-
it that prompted the libelous &C.
cusations made by the Times.
We don't know whether the Times
expresses the sentiment of the
management of the Lawrence
ball team or not, but if it does,
it is the opinion of THE TRUE
NoRTHERNER, that Field Day
arrangements in Van Burer
county should be changed and
made up of such schools of the
county, as can contest in
friendly, manner approve Of
clean athletic sports, and take
defeat or victory in sportsman
like manly manner.
