new PRINCIPLE
Involved In Hamilton Mans Wireless
Invention

Hamilton, Ohio, March 29-After
working several months on a wireless
station of his own invention, Carl Jac-
obs, an operator at the Western I'm
ion office in this city, was rewarded
last night by catching messages pass
ing overhead from New York City to
Chicago. Young Jacobs claims his in
struments are entirely different from
the recognized wireless apparatus of
today. His aerial station is only 60
feet above the ground, but he has not
sufficient battery power to transmit
messages farther than Cincinnati or

Comet
Is Blamed For Hot Spell Says
COShOCtOn Man
(Coshocton Times)


The remarkable weather of the
present month has finally been &C.
counted for by Charles V. Fay of
Fifth and Mulberry street. According
to Mr.. Fay it Is caused by the prox-
unity of Halley's comet to the earth.
II was very small child when the
comet visited us BEFORE" he said to
Times reporter, "but l remember
well what my parents said of the
weather that spring and l am con-
vinced that the comet is the cause
this time as 1t was then" Mr.. Fay
also says that the summer Is liable
to be unusally hot for the same rea-
son.

On The Field Developed By

This weeks Issue of the Black Dia-

Torchlight, Kentucky, by the Louisa

principally Of Mt. Vernon people and
of which Mr.. Fred s. Mcconnell is
president and general manager. The
article Is also embellished with a
number OF fine half-tone cuts, show
Ing specimens of the coal and scenes
at the mines. The Louisa company's 8
holdings comprise over 5000 acres of
coal lands, and they are laden with a
practically inexhaustible quantity of
coal Of very high quality, and the
mines are equipped with the most
modern machinery and appliances for
their operation. Although active min.
ing has been In operation compare
lively short time, the tonnage has
been rapidly brought up, but with all
their efforts the company has not yet
been able to get out a sufficient pro-
duct to meet the demand. Many large
and particular consumers have made
test of the coal, and find 1t superior
to any on the market, and this has
caused the large demand for it.
The prospects are that the Louisa
Coal company will find a ready mar.

asked prominent democrat. after
learning Of the action of the republi-
cans in opposing the presence Of the
two democrats on the investigating

tion: To get at the facts. But it

Washington, Jan. 25.-In opposing
the selection Of Henry T. Rainey, Of
Illinois and ollie NJ. James of Ken
lucky, as members of the Ballinger
Pinchot investigating committee, the
conservation "standpatters" paid
these two democrats the highest com.
pliment that could be paid to men in
public life.
This is the general feeling among
the democrats and the real republican
progressives of congress. This view
is also shared, it may be added, by
nine tenths of the newspaper cores
pondents covering" the proposed
land Office investigation, who have
been absolutely amazed at the des-
perate attempt of the Taft-Aldrich-
Cannon men to pack the investigating
committee with men friendly to Ballin-
ger and hostile to Pinchot
Leading democrats declared that
Rainey and James we're opposed be-
cause they have steadfastly refused
to cooperate with or sell themselves
out to the clique which represents the
land thieves, trusts and combinations.
Only those who have either opposed
Pinchot in a speech on the floor Of the
house, or are known to secretly favor
Ballinger, 1t is claimed. are satisfac-
tory to the reactionaries who are in
charge of the proposed investigation.
No members of congress are more
respected by democrats and republi-
cans free from corporation taint than
Rainey and James. Their speeches
and votes bear the closest scrutiny.
They have always been regular as
democrats, and are among the most
eminent of the party leaders. Both
are able lawyers, they have used their
ability as members of congress for the
interests of the people instead Of the
interests of the trusts, and for this
audacity they must be punished.
What could Rainey and James as
members of the investigating com
mittee do other than bring out facts?"

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 25.-
Small supplies of quarantine cattle
arrived here last week, but the run
included something of almost every
grade, ranging from corn fed steers
from Oklahoma at $5.75 to grassers
from South Texas. weighing a little
over 500 lbs, at $425, the first of the
latter class this season. The market
declined Is to 25 cents last week, and
the run of Is cars in quarantine divis-
ion here today is selling weak to 10
lower Top steers today sold at $500
some heifers at S400, cows at S975,
calves s410 to $5.75, bulls at $40.
The cause of the weakness in prices
since the middle of last week is the
agitation going on against meat eat
ing, and the fears of killers arising
therefrom So far the movement
does not seem to take in the far east
ern section of tiss country, including
New York and New England, which
are the heaviest consuming sections
of the country. Sentiment is divided
as to the final outcome of the move
ment against eating meats, but it is
not regarded very seriously in mos.
quarters. Already prices of other
staple foods have gone up, and very
much advance in other foods than
meats must soon prove disheartening
to the vegetarians. Different orders
for feeders are being filled here, the
purchasers intending to put them on
feed for the May and June markets,
believing that the present furry will
be thing of the past long before
that time.
Hogs declined Is to 20 cents last
week from the high time middle of the
week, and prices are OF 10 to 10
cents today, run 10000 head today
Top hogs sold at $S.45 today, medium
weights 1915 to ss,4O, light hogs $3.50
to $3.50. pigs $6.75 to $3.50. Sentiment
at this time, of course, is against any
advance in prices. but astute dealers
say that provisions spectators will
buy pork product on declines to an
extent that will prevent any great
decline in hog prices at this time. Bad
roads in the country interfere with
the ordinary schedule of receipts, and
keep the trade guessing as to prob
ably receipts from day to day.
Sheep and lambs also came in for
a decline in price last week, closing
Is to 25 cents below the high time,
and the market is off 10 to 10 cents
today, run 10000 head. Top lambs
