eral Villa confiscates mines, smelters,
cattle and other sources of revenue in
territory he controls, as confidential
advices to the State Department to-
day indicate he is preparing to do, the
American government will find a way
to prevent him from disposing of the
property in the United States.
Two methods of procedure may be
pursued. The first is the closing of all
ports of entry on the border between
Texas and the States of Sonora and
Chihuahua. The second is the holding
for rightful owners of confiscated
property shipped across the border.

While the Democrats were hunting
around for sufficient members last
night to make respectable showing
at the Central Democratic Club, the
Republicans were holding no less than
five rousing rallies throughout the
city and the county. Threatening
weather did not prevent big crowds
attending all of the meetings, Moth

held in the open air.
After fine meetings at Swatara Hill.
Deodate and Hockersville, and a city
rally on the handsomely decorated
lawn of George Mailey, on Paxton

the Second precinct of the Second
ward gathered, the candidates went
to the rooms of the East End Repub-
lican Club where a delightful recep-

to a close.
Democrats Give Up.
Reports made to the county COM
mittee officials who were with the can

that on Allison Hill and throughout
the lower and eastern ends of the
county the whole Democratic Wash

of the candidates have been in those
sections recently and there is abso-
lutely no concerted effort for the fu-
sion ticket on the part of the Demo-
cratic workers in those localities.
Nearly every Washington party man
on the Hill will vote as Republican
this Fall and will register next year
with that party in order to be in posi-
ton to give the Republican candidate
for President proper support next
year.
This condition of affairs proved as
gratifying as 1t was surprising to the
Republicans, who were given to un-
derstand after the primaries that the

THE TELEGRAPH.

The first telegraph instrument was completed and the first message sent over a wire seventy-seven years ago today, Jan. G., 1888. Samuel Morse, the inventor of the electric tele- graph, and Alfred Vail. his able as- sistant and financial backer,h were the s.brass pounders'' who sent the first telegram. The experiment was made with a wire three miles in length. The code used was the in- ventions of Alfred Vail, an uncle of the present head of the Bell TeIe- phone Company, and consisted of a series of dots and dashes since uni Versal1y but enormously called Morse alphabet :, vaifs father had prom ised to help in the promotion of the invention if it proved it's worth, but he was a skeptic and on the day of the first trial he put the scheme to the test. He wrote, "A patient waiter is no loser.'' and, handing the scrap of paper to his son, said, eff you can send that and Morse can read it at the other end of the wire I will be conv1nced.', The message was duly sent and received, and, af- ter delay of four years, the instru- ment was given an official test be- tween Washington and Baltimore Morse and Vail again playing the role of operators.
