Telegraphing Made Easy
A 500 Line Operator inyents a Machine that
Makes the 'Dots-SoId All Over the World

T. T. Vail, formerly chief operator
of the $500 Line" at Minneapolis, now
the chief electrician of the I%nternation-
al Vailograph Co. with an aggressive
and pushing organization at his back, is
heralded as the latest great inventor in
the telegraphic field.
AS is generally known, a telegraph
operator "talks by dots and dashes"
made with a key that opens and closes
the electric circuit. . To make dots an
dashes is nerve racking work. In RAP
sending it is estimated that an operat
makes 80, 900 nerve movements an hot
Mr.. Vail has invented a machine tn
makes this mere child's play, as t,

Revival Meetings.

The meetings at the Methodist
Church are Of increasing interest.
MI. Smith is a master In the art of
presenting truth simply and effec-
lively. The auditorium was we'll
filed last night with earnest people
when Mr.. Smith began to speak.
He dwelt upon the sins of disposition
last night as being as disastrous to
happiness and human welfare as some
grosser sins. Religion has the
function OF removing these from our
lives as effectively as other sins. The
process OF removal is not always
pleasant, sometimes is very painful,
hut pays. A number gave expression
to their determination to live the
higher life under the evangelist's
winning appeals.

FOR A new SCHEDULE
Railroad Commission Arranging
Put in a New Schedule West
of Missouri River.

At recent meeting Of the railroad
commissioners considerable time was
devoted to a discussion of a new
schedule Of rates for the new lines
west of the Missouri river, the rate
question being taken up at the
request of the shippers, who claim
that the freight rates are too high.
Concerning the adjustment of these
rates in that part Of the state, the
commission made the following state
ment:
The board has had several sched-
ules of rates nndec consideration for
some time past, but upon investiga-
ton it was found that these proposed
rates inter'ered in many instances
with existing Interstate rates and
it has been necessary to revise the
tig;lres and prepare new schedules of
rates. The commission is DESTROYS of
promulga ting a distance ta,ltf of
freight rates which shall bs just and
equitable and one that will stand the
all appeal shall he taken to them for
final q, termination.
This malter has been pending be-
fore the commission 'or some months,
during which ti,ue the most careful
consideration and thorough inves-
tigation has been given it but the
board has oeelntd it advisable to pro-
coed very cautiously and deliberately
in preparing a new schedule Of
freight crates, especially in view of
the recent decisions Of the supreme
court of the United States relating
to the powers and duties of state
boards of railroad commissioners in
the matter of rate making.

Leonard and Halliday head the list

enough fun concealed about them to
put in the whole evening. They
have an Irish sketch that beats any
thing off the nap, and the quick

to what was coming next. Following
this team comes Miss Maize King.

"tbe queen of terpsichore." Miss
King is something of a dancer and
she turned loose a great many new
ligures that brought forth rounds of
applause. Behind this trio there is
d large company OF chorus girls
whose brilliant costumes, pretty
dances, bright and catchy songs
finished out al evening of splendid
amusement. The scenic effects were
i'm harmony with the rest OF the show
and these were appropriate and added
much to the effectiveness of the
whole.

Telegraph and Telephone Companies
Report That the Boring Of the Birds
e Proving Disastrous to Their
Property.


Daily News Special.
Jackson, August 17.-Birds are des
troying the telephone and telegraph
poles in Mississippi. according to Of
ficials Of the Western Union and Cum
berland companies. In some places
fifty per cent. Of all the poles along
the right-of-way have been riddled by
these innocent Offenders, which belong
to the woodpecker family.
One Of the Western Union officials
who has recently returned from an
inspection through the state, reported
having seen twenty-five telephone
poles with two or three hundred holes
drilled clear through them. Some Of
the holes were three Of four inches in
| diameter.
| An officer of the Illinois Central
railroad counted the white cedar tele-
Ephone poles along the right-of-way
nor>h OF here which had been af-
fected by woodpeckers, and found that
out Of 26S poles, no. or Al per cent,
had been bored.
! In some cases destruction OF the
pole takes only few months and the
| weakened condition makes 1t danger
ops for lineman to climb the stick.
The real object of the birds in drill
ing the holes is uncertain. One tele.
phone man said that the humming Of
the wires was mistaken by the birds
for insects excavatfng beneath the sur
face of the wood, and that they drilled
the poles in quest of these imaginary
insects. 1t is very probable. however
that the holes are excavated for an
entirely different purpose. The wood
pecker is provident bird. At the
proper season IT stores up supply
of acorns and other foods for future
consumption. In the summer these
holes are often found stored will
acorns.
MdHy Hethous ioi preventing I'LL
damage have been suggested, but prob
, ably the most successful is preserva
ton with creosote. A line OF creo
soted poles recently erected nea
Jackson, was examined, and not |
single hole was found. When it is con
t sidered that creosote will not onl,
prevent the damage caused by tn
J woodpecker, but also protect the pol
indefinitely against both insects an
decay. Its great value as preservs
tive is apparent.
