Makes It Easy to Wire Money to the “Boys.”

The Western Union Telegraph company announces that until further notice is will make telegraphic transfers of m'oney to members of the national guard who have been mustered into the federal' service at the Mexican border, at one-half the usual charges for such service. It is understood that in their hurried departure many*bf the guardsmen failed to reckon on the high cost at the border of some of the conveniences and comforts which are not included in the provision which Uncle Sam makes for his soldiers and thfeir relatives and friends doubtless will be interested: learn of this arrangement whereby much appreciated funds can be quickly transferred by telegraph at a low cost. The proposition is the more attractive from the fact that messages of affection, cheer, etc., may be incorporated ip the transfers at a small added charge for the extra words involved.
