' Tb Haha-lotler company started
a wholesale dry goods business la
Lincoln, Neb., about a year and a
half ago; ale manufacturing soma
lines of goods after the manner of
the Omaha Jobbers theugh on a
smaller scale.
' 'A number of traveling salesmen
were employed and the firm was
doing a prosperous business when
a misunderstanding crept In, re
sulting in the sale of the business
by the stockholders to a capitalist
of Dallas, Tex., who gave the busi
ness more of his personal attention.
Upon finding the stock not adapt
ed to southern trade, he ordered
the manager in charge to sell.
Mayden Bros, of this city bought
the entire stock, and will as rapld
: ly as possible move it to Omaha.

In the Field of Electricity
Kteetrlcltr Istea4 ( Steam.
CCUPY1NQ with many tracks
and moving a vast amount of
traffic along many miles of
the southern lake front of
' Chicago, the smoke from ' the
Illinois Central locomotives has
b.vuu.e so great an annoyance to ths publla
that protests have taken on the form of
demands for suppression of the nuisance.
Heretofore; officials ot the road con
tested themselves with promises of relief.
Hew they are Investigating the problem
of 1 substituting electric locomotives for
team,, as though the problem of substi
tution was a new or untried one.
Tao empany's advisers are urged by
ths Jfew fork Tribune to make an Investi
gation of the different! systems of elec
trte - power la use by ' railroads la and
around New York City. The Tribune says:
"The methods employed by the New fork
Central , and. to a limited extent, by the
Long Island road are Identical. On both
f tasss Una a direct current and a third
rail' conductor are la use. On the sup
position that previously existing draw
backs to the alternating current had been
overcome, the New Havto road has
adopted It, and has Incidentally taksn with
It the overhead conductor. Btlll another
dissimilarity In the practice of the New
York Central and the New Haven roads
la found In the means employed for mov
ing suburban trains. The former follows
the plan In vogue on the elevated roads
and In the subway, while the latter uses
an Independent locomotive. Perhaps a
more satisfactory comparison of the two
systems cculd be mads If the second had
been on trial a little longer, but already It
should be feasible to draw reasonably
sound conclusions. It would be particu
larly ' Interesting to learn, for Instance,
whether the use of an extra locomotive by
the New Haven company Is not a departure
from the original programme and does not
add an unforseen Item to the expense of
operation.
"Chicago will ctot realise the full benefit
of the substitution of electricity for steam
until the change la made on the express
trains entering and leaving the city, as
well as on local trains. From the abolition
of smoke, cinders and the sound of put
fing locomotives, New York has gained im
mensely In the last year or two. Yet there
was less need of the Improvement In this
city than in Chicago, because the other
sources of soot In the atmospher were
far less numerous nets than they are there.
Another Wireless Marvel.
William E. P. Btoaes, jr.. of New York
City, 12 years old. son of the proprietor of
the Ansonia apartment hotel, has astounded
experts in wireless transmission of mes
sages by electrical energy by designing
what he calls a "receiving box." His con
trivance not only catches dispatches sent
In the ordinary code used by the Marconi
and De Forest systems, but reproduces
the words and sounds of wireless telephony
In volume deep enough to be heard at a
distance of four feet from the apparatus.
Working alone and concealing the secret
of his Invention from his father, relates
the Chicago Inter Ocean, the boy stuck to
the completion of bis task all of one day
and well into the night On the following
day about noon ho had perfected the last
coll of the mysterious "box" and ran down
from the roof of his father's office on the
sixteenth floor, shouting:
"Come up. Pop Come up; she's talking
all right Corns and listen!"
Stokes senior had Indulged his son for
more than a year with electrical devices of
different characters and had permitted him
to string wires between the two towers on
the root of the building and connect them
with a dynamo In the dynamo room of the
building. The father had heard the click
of the dot and dash snatched from the air,
which was not entirely new, but he was
wholly unprepared for the demonstrations
that greeted him when he was called to
the roof by the eager youngster.
"Just wait a minute," exclaimed W. E.
D. junior, as he opened a square receptacle
and turned a lever. Instantly there came
the sound of a human voice with a metallic
twang.
"Do you catch my signal?" were the
words. "Is that right? Bay"
There was a break and an Indistinct buss
on the wire. The young Inventor moved
his lever a fraction of an Inch.
"I won't stand for this," was the mes
sage roared out. "You go to that fir
bouae and see If you can't get a better
connection." .
The elder Btokes was speechless with as
tonishment There was no Indication of
where the messages came from. Ths first'
was presumed to be from Philadelphia,
where secret experiments are being made
in wireless telephoning to connect with the
tower of the Metropolitan Life building at
Madison avenue and Twenty-third street.
Tills supposition was borne out by another
message that came when the lever was
moved back to the point it first covered.
The tone and Inflection of the voice were
the same.
"Mr. PoIIlton, don't you get me? What's
