POSSIBILITIES OF THE WIRELESS

The Marconi system of wireless
telegraphy has proved its usefulness
in a practical way, when on Satur-
day night it was the instrument Of
summoning help from out a desert
of water to a fast sinking ship, and
the means of saving more than a
thousand lives, which but for it's mys.
terious power must have gone to
-watery graves.
The steamer Republic, bound for
Europe with large passenger list,
most of them pleasure-seekers, when
in mid-ocean was rammed by the i'm
migrant steamer, Florida, and great
hole crashed in her side. At the
time everything was enveloped in a
dense fog, and neither vessel knew
of the whereabouts of the other until
the accident had occurred and the
Republic had received its death
wound. The Florida was also Grip
pied and not able just at the time
to go to the assistance Of the ship
it had injured, though 1t afterwards
did =.
In this extremity the wireless was
put to work and an appeal for help
sent with tightening rapidity over
the broad expanset of the Atlantic
ocean. Vessels simaraily equipped
oil hD oh Of
the instrument though miles away,
and Immediately there was race
of rescue inaugurated that resulted
in their reaching the sinking vessel
in time to save the lives that were
in imminent danger, and to assist the
crippled FLORIDA in reaching an an
chorage of safety. This is simply
wonderful, for had it not been for
this wonderful invention no appealing
call could have been sent abroad and
in all probability not one of the pas
sengers would have survived to tell
the details of one of the most hor
rid of ocean disasters.
Congress recognized the event of
sufficient Importance to consume
three hours of it's time Monday in
listening to an eulogy of the Marconi
operator who was on duty on the
Republic, and who proved himself ev-
cry inch a hero, standing at his in
strument in the face of threatening
dearn, after sending out his appeal
for aid and receiving its answer, and
sent glad tidings of the progress of
The rescue to the distressed hearts
of kindred and friends on shore,
who listened to its every tick with
hearts of gratitude to the inventor
and of TIA. kfulness to the brave
man who was operating the machine.
Mr. .Bouteil Illinois, delivered an
eulogy, and after praising Binns for
his true manly worth, said he was
proud to know that in every crisis
of daring and danger some John
Binns could be found among Amer
ica's brave and noble manhood. -

FOR FEBRUARY.

February will be a very eventful
month. In fact, it will be the last
of the eventful months, for Mr..
Roosevelt will leave the White House
March 4, and after that we shall on
ly occasionally hear from him, along
with earthquakes, war in the Balk-
ans, Raisuli, the old and new hus-
bands of the Gould money, and other
cable news.
However, be that as it will,
The grounding will obey
The impulse of prophetic gift
Upon the second day.
He'll feel the vibrant stir Of spring
Run up and down his spine,
Roll over like a hired man,
Sit up and yawn and whine,
Rub all his knuckles in his eyes,
Wind up his winter snooze,
Put on his go-to-meetin' clothes
And patent leather shoes,
Ascend the stairway of his lair,
Observe the sky awhile,
And join the Ananias Club
In fine and dandy style.
And thdn the date Of Lindoln'a
birth will timorously dawn, and the
vets and drys will show us whose
lineup he stood upon. The drys will
say he never drank, the vets will
claim he did, they'll show him stand
ing 40 ways for Sunday on the lid,
the women will parade and pray for
H2O for men and the breweries will
sadly sigh for the good old times
again.
ST. Valentines Day will come on
the 18th This will be the biggest
day of the month, inasmuch as it will
give the people who believe in pro-
tecting American art an opportunity
to show us just what the tariff is
doing for it. There will, of course,
be a few of the hideous caricatures
which everybody got when our ma
tive artists were compelled to COM
pete with the cheap labor of Europe,
but in the main the valentines will
be a great Improvement upon any
thing we have seen. After looking
them over we shall be able to deter
mine pretty well, whether art, like
the steel industry, is now quite able
to- take care of itself, or if it is still
an infant and needs all the baby
food that Uncle Joe Cannon can give
it.
But while the symbol of a love
That dieth not nor fails ?
And other kinds of valentines
Are going through the mails,
And almost everybody is
On edge to take shot r.
At the coward who addressed to him
The cruel one he got
While all this is going on
In lighter humor, still,

On the second Wednesday in Feb
ruary the vote of the electoral col
lege will be formally opened at a
Joint session of both houses of Con

votes were cast for Taft and Sher

Mr.. Carnegie says figures prove moth

Between st. Valentines Day and
Washington birthday there will be
a lull enlivened from time to time by
carrie Nation in London Tower, news

alton tenuered it on Feb. 81.
And then the days of days will come
When everyone will try
To honor most the name of him
Who never told a lie
Who never wrote nature fake,
Or lied about deal

In Panama steal,
Or represented Standard Oil
Behind the country's back,
But always made very straight
And unsuspicious track.

Macomb, H., May 14.-"Too many
housewives seem to fail to appreciate
the true value of money This is es-
pecially true of many women in the
cities, who spend every cent their hus-
bands give them, and to save their
lives all they can show when the
money is gone are just things.
This was the keynote of an address
delivered yesterday by Mrs. Ellen Nj.
Henrotin of Chicago before the mem
bcrs of the 10th annual convention .:
The Illinois congress of mothers at its
second session.
Mrs. Henrotin spoke on Ethical
Training for Girls" and her address
was OF an economic and moral nature
She divided women into two groups

OVER LONG PERIOD
Three Weighers and Two Mem
berS of importing Firms
Are Arrested.

New York, May 14-Three of the
government weighers recently dis
missed by Collector Loeb were ar
rested today together with members
of two importing firms who are al
legged to have conspired with the
weighers to secure the entry of fig
and cheese imports at less than ac-
tual weights. The weighers and i'm
porters were Jointly indicted recently
by the federal grand jury.
Filed False Invoices.
The method alleged to have been
pursued was for the importers to file
false invoices showing weights far
below the real weights, the goods
later being checked by assistant
sweighers to correspond with the in
voice.
For Many Years.
The frauds charged are declared
to have continued over long period
and to have caused the loss of large
sums to the government.

FIND HOW COVERNMENTWAS
BEATEN BY SHORT WEIGHTS

Harris this afternoon overruled mo-
ttion to dismiss the murder charge
against Private Joseph Il. Klein of
Company A, first regular Illinois ma
tional guard of Chicago, for the death
of Earl Nelson of Kankakee, whom
he is accused of fatally stabbing last
September while the regiment was
passing through the city to aid in
checking the Springfield riots. The
judge held the legislature gives no
statutory authority for trial jurisdic-
ton. An exception was Immediately
taken by the defense, who moved to
quash the Indictment ON the ground
that civil cases have no jurisdiction.
The motion was overruled. Judge
Harris will hear the case some time
in June.

gestion looking to the fixing of a day

CEDAR RAPIDS is FAVORED
Attempt to Move Headquarters of the
o. X. &. Is Failure.

Boston, May 14.-Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, will continue to be the head
quarters of the Grand Division of the
Order of Railway Conductors. AL
though w. T. Taylor, formerly attor-
ney of Indiana and Charles A. Boob
walker of Indianapolis. made strong
pleas at yesterdays session of the
grand division in behalf of Indiana
city, they could not induce the con-
vention to move its general offices.
James H. Trewin, chairman of the
Iowa board of education, iand j. III
Grimm of Cedar Rapids upheld the
interests of that place. No other
business was transacted, the dele
gates for the remainder of the day
being the guests of the brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen.
