THE KOFFEE KOOLERS KILLING-
A Peculiar luct«lent That Led to Inveistiou of a Telephone. It is not common knowledge, except to those familiar with electrical and telephone history, that the first telephone was constructed in Racine, Wis., and that the inventor, Dr. S. D. Cushman, is now a resident of Chicago, his offices are in the Stock Exchange building. Here the venerable inventor, who built the first telegraph lines in this part of the “far west,” pursues his business with more alertness in affairs than the average young man. In the corner of the room is a large, worn piece of muslin, on which is painted in thin color a representation of a telegraph line stretching away in the distance, connected with a crude instrument set on two logs, near which a frog is sitting by a stream. This old relic represents the telegraph line of “good old cedar posts” which Dr. Cushman constructed west from Racine for the Erie and Michigan Telegraph company in 1851, and the experimental lightning arrester which led to his discovery. It. is a reminder of the days when Dr. Cushman was associated with Prof. Morse in the pioneer days of telegraphy. On his desk is the first telephone transmitter, constructed in 1851, twenty-five years before the Hell patents were taken out. It is a small square box, with a speaking orifice and containing a mechanism on the same principle as that of the modern transmitter. In 1851 Dr. Cushman undertook the construction of a lightning arrester, his object being to take the lightning that struck the wire and run it into the ground, the instruments being so constructed that it would not interfere with the light current used in telegraphing. This instrument was placed out on the prarie on two logs, and in order to know when it operated a triple magnet, with a sheet of thin iron at the poles, similiar in construction to a modern “receiver,” was placed in the corner of the box. In case the lightning passed through the instrument the electric magnet would pull this strip of iron down into the range of a permanent magnet, which would retain it until the instrument was inspected. A similiar device was placed in the basement of the building at Racine and connected with the other end of the line. One day while a thunderstorm was coming up and Dr. Cushman was watching the instrument the croaking of frogs was heard thirteen miles away. This is the explanation of how the old painting with the crude .instrument and the croaking frog is identified with the discovery of the telephone.

their rooters were on hands in force, hut when the Silver Leaf with the only Hugh in front and the diminutive Drew with his grandfather’s hat in the rear, swept up the main avenue of Ladoga, the Crawfordsville hearts ceased to fiutter. They were paralyzed and went on the ball field in a nervous condition and couldn’t play hall a little bit. The Greencastle rabbitfoot was polished up and its otticial custodian affectionately caressed its fur the wrong way all through the game. The Greencastle hoys are loud today in praise of their treatment at the hands of Ladoga people. Nothing was too good for them they say and they were given the best the town could aiford In the evening the Silver Leaf and quartette and Drew Dickens, banjo soloist, gave a concert in the opera house. The receipts were enough to pay expenses and a good musi cal treat was given to the Ladoga ites. Dickens carried off the honors.

The Brazil Times says that Mrs Andrew Stapleton is thought to be insane. She sliot a brother in Harmony some time ago. The Times says: All this time -Mrs. Stapleton has been in jail at Greencastle, awaiting the result of her brother’s injuries. Her family claims the long confinement behind the stone wall has shattered her mind and that she is insane, or of unsound mind. She was brought to this city today for the purpose of holding a preliminary examination, and it can then he ascertained whether or not she has lost her mind. At best it is a sad life for one young, and she lias had enough sensational experience to drive her

Dixon, who after graduating became for some years teacher of Latin in D. P. U., and who left here four years ago to accent the Latin department of Olivet college at Olivet. Michigan. Prof. Dixon has been so faithful and competent to fill the place that when the way opened for a broader field the faculty of that institution could not be induced to part with him entirely, but as he had received a “Fellowship” from Chicago university, granted him a leave of absence. This resulted in not only a year uf study in that university, but opened tiie way for a year of study in Rome, Italy, in company with Prof. Hale, who goes there to place an American school upon a solid basis. He will sail with him on Sept. 12, as his companion student, and assistant. The friendsof Prof. Dixon will remember his return to our city three years ago to bear bis bride to the beautiful home be iiad been success-

When tiie time came for her husband to accept the high honor conferred upon him, she. though far away from kindred and friends, bade him go, and began to look about her for employment with which to while away the dreariness of Ids long year of absence, and soon secured a tine position in a well known and select school for young ladies (that of Mrs. Clark) and bidding him farewell without allowing him to see her shed a tear, separated, he going to New York and she to Nashville, Tenn. Meantime Mr. Thomas Kane, another former student of DePauw, is to till his place until his return to Olivet. Mrs. Dixon stopped while on her way, in Greencastle for a couple of nights and a day to visit a former friend and speak a word of kindly remembrance and encouragement to former pupils, for whom she ever feels a strong interest, and who if one could judge by then- eager calls to gee her, -till feel for her the highest degree of love and respect. Mrs. Dixon left for the south this morning.
