Monday morning at 6:35 o'clock the
cigar shaped motor flyer on the North
western road made it's first trip between
GAINESVILLE and Beloit.
At certain four mile stretch the car
-madeaeclip at the rate of 80 miles per
hour.
In appearance the car is unlike any
thing ever seen around here before. The
entire outside is covered with steel
plates painted dark Brown The front
end in which is small cab for the
motorman, tapers to sharp point, with
q pilot attached to it. Back of the mo-
torman's cab is smoking compartment,
and back of that the passenger compart-
ment There are two entrances, one on
either side, situated in the middle of
the car instead of at the end. These en-
frances are vestibuled and lead up few
steps to the floor of the car where doors
open into the smoking compartment and
into the passenger compartment The
rear of the car is rounded off and has no
projections of any kind.-Recorder.

Runaway Is Fatal

Iver Amble died at 6 o'clock Friday
night as result of runaway accident
the day before. He was driving in the
village of Oregon, the lines were not
buckled and he dropped one. The horse
started to run. He pulled on the other
line and ran the horse into the bank.
He jumped out intending to grasp the
animal and 10 so doing he fell.
The horse fell on him. Several men
who we're working near by ran to his as
sistance. DIR. Bennett was called and
ordered the man taken to his office.
There upon examination he found no
broken bones or any indications that the
man was hurt.
Amble's nephew, who was with him,
secured wagon and took him home.
DR.. Bennett was called to the home Fri
day morning and found the injured man
in a critical condition. He was bleed
ing inwardly, supposedly from rupture
of the liver. Everything possible was
done to save mis- life but to no avail, and
he died towards evening.

A Feat with the .wireless. ),

The astonishing progress that is being
made with the wireless telegraphy is
we'll illustrated by the following Incl
dent related by the Worlds Magazine
for March. A young man on an ocean
steamer actually borrowed money from
another steamer in mid ocean through
the wireless. His mother was on boat
going in an opposite direction. Calcula-
tions were made as to the probable date
of an hour of meeting of the two vessels
The purser of the other boat was in
structed to lay the case before the un-
fortunate young mans mother. She in
stantly handed over the money to the
purser who flashed instructions to the
purser on the first boat to pay like
amount to the son, which was done.
