The Progress Magazine In a m
what lengthy review Of DR.. Macmur-
rays recent book, "The Highways of
Success" says, in the April number:
He has presented the threadbare
vigor and earnestness that rejuve-
mates them. He has employed a fund
of anecdotes and classical references
to strengthen his plea for the right
living that is founded on char
acter, honorable purposes, self-re-
lance, perseverance and industrious
habits. The writer is imbued with a
rational religious zeal that underlies
all his teachings"
The Milwaukee road has commenc-
ed to install the system of train dis
patching by the telephone. This will
be confined solely to the Iowa and
Dakota division between Mitchell
and Chamberlain and Mitchell and
Sanborn, with an extension beyond
Sanborn. 1t is expected to have the
telephone in operation by May 1. The
same wire is used for the telephone
as for the telegraph, and messages
from both the telegraph instrument
and the telephone can be sent over
the same wire at the same time. 1t
is something of an innovation. and
it is believed will have a tendency to
improve the handling of trains in the
way of rapidity and accuracy of send
ing messages.
