SIGNAL MESSAGES.
Beacon Fires Were First Used, and
Their Came Semaphores.


Signal fire telegraphing. with its very
limited scope of information contained.
seems to have been about the only
means of communicating quickly across
distances until relatively modern times.
II was not until the days of the
French revolution that any material
Improvement over the beacon fire tele-
graph developed. Three brothers named
Chappe devised the semaphore tele
graph. This system got into active op-
GRAFTON in 1874. and the first real mes
sage ever spelled out and telegraphed
across country was in that year, and
the text was as follows:
"Conde is taken from the Austrians.
The same day the national conven-
ton. sitting in Paris, sent back the fol-
lowing reply to the army: .....
1.-THE army Of the north deserves the
gratitude of the country"
The semaphore operators attained a
speed of three letters a minute in fine
weather, with an average of one a
minute over long distance. This made
necessary the invention of condensed
codes, which came into fashion.-New
York Telephone Review.

WILSON PRAISES
 PRESIDENT TAFT EulOgizes Executive for His Work in the Sugar
 Trials

AlpeIa, Mich, October 22.-Secretaray in behalf of the election of President Taft and other republican candidates tonight confined his address to a dis cussion of the issues between the re- publican and the democratic parties, making no reference to the progressive party.
 Secretary Wilson's address not only discussed protection and free trade, but elaborately reviewed accomplishments of President Taft's administration and praised the President for what he achieved in procuring progressive leg islation" and in giving the country a safe and stable administration, avoid ing international troubles and conserv- ing the interests of the people in every particular so that there had been nc check to prosperity
 Secretary Wilson discussed the trust question He asserted no great trust had been organized since March, 1909 and showed that had been declared by President Tafts administration against combinations to control the price and restrict competition in score of articles in daily use. He analysed the Payne bill, showing where duties had been reduced on lumber. boots and shoes, hides, etc
 Secretary Wilson eulogized President Taft for bringing to justice the sugar trust and sugar smugglers and thieves recovering millions for the national treasury"
