LONGEST CIRCUIT.
How the Line From London to
Teheran Is Worked.

Probably the longest telegraph
circuit in the world has been in
operation for over a year on the
lines of the Indo-European Tele-
graph company, between London
and Teheran, Persia's capital.
This circuit is 1000 miles in
length, and in its course it trav-
erses the North sea for 200 miles
through Belgium, Germany, Rus
STA, Turkey in Asia and Persia.
The Wheatstone automatic sys-
tenn of transmission and reception
is employed on the circuit. By
this system messages are trans
mitted at the rate of from 30 to
400 words a minute, according to
the nature of the circuit, as
against rs to IS words by manual
Morse transmission.
On the London I eheran circuit
there are ten automatic repeating
stations, namely, at Lowestoft,
Emden, Berlin, Warsaw. Rouno,
Odessa, Kertch, Sukhum kaleh,
Tihis and Tauris. The business
for and from Manchester and Liv-
erpool is also handled direct with
Teheran.
1t will be understood that au-
tomato repeaters virtually take
the place of operators at the re-
peating stations. In the case of
the circuit under consideration
there are repeating instruments
and batteries at each of the ten
repeating stations. rs the line is
divided into eleven .arts. each
part is comparatively short.-St.

Defective Teeth.

How grave national risk de-
fective teeth may become was
sufficiently evidenced by the enor-
nous wastage during the South
African war, owing to the num-
Der of men who lacked sufficient
teeth to masticate ordinary food,
and to the same cause is due a
large proportion, if not the ma
jority, of the reflections of other
wise suitable army recruits at the
present time.

ARCHBOLD AGAIN CALLED
Vice President of Standard Resumes
the Stand,

Vice President of Standard Resumes
the Stand.
New York, Dec. 8.-John D. Arch
bold, vice president of the Standard
Oil company, was again a witness on
redirect examination in the federal
suit to dissolve the oil combination
under the Sherman antitrust law.
Mr.. Archbold's testimony had to do
with details of certain properties con-
veyed to the Standard on it's organi-
zation. The Standard entered the
lubricating business extensively in
1878, said the witness. Practically
all the acquisitions of the Standard
from 1875 to 1882 we're made by cash
which came from the treasures of
the Standard and it's subsidiary COM
panies.
Mr.. Archbold said that the estab-
lishment of marketing stations to
compete with the rivals of the Stand
ard naturally forced the small dealers
and jobbers gradually from the field.
Some correspondence between oil pro-
ducers and the Pennsylvania geolog-
zeal survey showing the apparent
limitations of crude oil production in
the early days was spread on the
record, with the evident design Of
showing the hazards of the business
testified to by Mr.. Rockefeller and
MI. Archbold. The witness said that
wax was an important by-product of
petroleum and this branch of the
Standards industry had increased
from 24,O0O,OOO pounds in 1892 to 240,-
992,478 pounds in 1907.

The ELkS' CHARITY BALL
WILL BE HELD DEC. is.
Date Changed from Dec. 18th. Fam
Gus Ainsworth Orchestra Secured
to Play for Dance.

s.
The committees, who are arrang-
ing for the Elks' Annual Charity
ball, have decided to give the ball
on December Is. instead of Deem
Der II, as was originally intended.
The, changing of the date was
made in order that the Elks might
have the services of the famous
Ainsworth orchestra of Minneapolis.
This famous musical organization is
touring the northwest and as they
are to play at Crookston and other
cities near here, it. was ascertained
that they could so arrange their
dates that they could play at a ball
to be given here on the night of
December Is. The organization
will give several selections Ca sort
of concert) before the dance and
they will furnish music for the ball.
The committees are working
together very harmonously and from
present indications the Elk's Annual
Charity Ball promises to be one of
the most successful events of the
kind ever held in this city.
AS there are 1875 members of the
local lodge and as undoubtedly all
of them will take tickets, it is GER
tain that there will be a splendid
attendance at the dance.
The invitations are being issued
today and each Elk is allowed to
invite a friend, but any one who
attends the ball must produce an
invitation, together with a numbered
ticket, before they will be allowed
to participate in the dance.
The following are the committees
who have charge of the dance:

ris, J. c.. Parker, w. J. Markham.

HAYT|AN POLITICAL
SITUATION CLEARING
General Simon Becomes Presi.
dent Without Opposition.

Port au Prince, Hayti, Dec. 8.-The
political situation is clearing, at least
in certain directions. During the re-
cent interview here between General
Simon, the leader of the revolutionary
movement that resulted in the fight
Of Nord Alexis from the capital, and
General Fouchard, an aspirant to the
presidency, who arrived at the head
Of band of followers, the latter said
that in view of the fact that God had
blessed the arms of General Simon"
he withdrew his candidacy in order
that the possibility of civil war be
averted. The proclamation of Gen
eral Simon as president Of the repub-
lie was then decided upon.
The local population has accepted
the new order of things and General
Simon will shortly take possession of
the: national palace. General Turenne
Jean GILES, who was at one time
mentioned as possible successor to
General Nord Alexis, has given assur-
ance that he will see to the main
tainance of order in the department
of the North.
1t is felt here that If General Simon
proceeds in accordance with the con-
stitution it soon will be possible to
bring together the national assembly.
All the senators and deputies at pres
ent in Port au Prince are convinced
that the election Of General Simon by
large majority is assured, but it is
argued that the elections should be
held without loss of time so that the
other presidential candidates be not
able to bring forward an organized
resistance and in order also to avoid
American intervention, which prob

HAD TILT WITH PRESIDENT
Swedish Vice Consul at St. Louis Com
mits Suicide.


mits Suicide.
St. Louis, Dec. 8.-Charles A. Elk
stromer, Swedish vice consul in St.
Louis, committed suicide by drinking
prussic acid at his home here. Mr..
Ekstromer came into public notice
some time ago through a controversy
with federal officials which resulted
in the revocation of his exequatur by
President Roosevelt. Later he was re.
instated in the good graces of the
administration and resumed his off.
cial duties here.
1t was his championing of the cause
Of E. G. Lewis, publisher and organ
izer of the Peoples United States
bank, that brought down the wrath of
the president on Ekstromer.
In March, 1907, Ekstromer went to
Washington at the head of a commit
tee of Lewis adherents and asked for
an audience with the president. They
wished to tell Roosevelt that in their
opinion the second class mail priv.
ilege was being wrongfully withheld
from Lewis publications. The pres.
ident refused to see them.
On his return to st. Louis Elk.
stromer wrote letter to the presi.
dent in which he denounced Postmas.
ter General Cortelyou, accusing him
of unfairness. He also called the
presidents refusal to see the st. Louis
committee "un-American and unjust"
This brought forth a statement from
the White House that Ekstromer's
letter was "impertinent. uncalled for
and discourteous' and that the state.
ments contained in it were untrue.
The president notified the minister
from Sweden that Ekstromer was
persona non grata" and forthwith
Ekstromer's exequatur as vice consul
was revoked.
