THE AttQUSV SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1902. GOFF IS APPOINTED Named to Succeed C. A. Hunter as Rock Island's Com- -. -mercial Agent. ANNOUNCEMENT MADE TODAY General News of Kailwaya Glb ercd at Depots of the City. Assistant CJencral Passenger Apent M. A. Patterson, of the Kock Island road, returned last night from I'hi ca&o, where he had been in confer ence with the heads of the freight department of the system. lie brought baek the pleasing informa tion that the appointment of K. L. (loff, formerly loeal agent of the Pe oria road, as eommereial agent of the Kock Island here to succeed C. A. Hunter, transferred to St. Paul, had been made. It had been known fir some time that Mr. tJolt was under considera tion for the position, but owing to the number of applicants, many of whom were from men who had been directly in the service of the road for years, the matter was not easily decided. Mr. tioff has proved his value in his former capacity, and his many friends will be pleased that the Itoek Island ljas recognized his worth and that it will not be neces sary for him to leave the city. Othr Appointment. The last records of the passenger department of the Peoria road were packed and shipied today to Chicago. One or two apointments remain to be made before the last of the Pe oria employes who expect to be plac ed are taken care of. It is expected that something definite on this head will be received by Monday. . M. II. Truesdale, formerly eommer eial agent of the B., C. 11. &. X. at Davenport, ha.s been appointed trav eling freight agent of the Rock Isl and with headquarters in Davenport. Truckmen Called to Chicago. Local freight agents of the Kock Island from the tri-cities and other places convenient to Chicago have been called to that city to assist in overcoming the freight handlers strike as it affects the road there. The road is drawing upon its truck men in thre smaller towns to fill the places of the strikers. Loeal officials 'of t. the. Kock Island road who have rece'ntly been in Chi cago say that the general officers of the road are still deeply involved in the work that has been brought up by the recent merging of so many minor lines with the system. This has Ipeen complicated by n change in tlje manner of accounting that was put into effect July 1. Nearly every department iH vrowded with matters crying for attention. One evidence of the condition that exists in the offices will be felt by the employes all 'over the system. According to custom, next Monday sh.ould be pay day, but the money will probably not reach the company's employes till n week later. The loeal freight agents are having their hands full explaining the neces sity for collecting demurrage from people who keep ears longer than the 48 hours allowed under the new rule of the Illinois Cht Service, association. There seems to be no misunderstand ing of the rule and the kicks are not resgistered because the ' shipper or consignee disputes the justice of the general enforcement of it, but the common plea is extenuating circum stances. The coal dealers of the three cities have heard nothing from their petition for an. exception to the rule In favor of soft coal dealers nnd an extension of the time allowed them. Kock Inland Note.

FLOWERS STOLEN FROM GRAVES IN CHIPPIANNOCK There are related complaints of vn nil ill ism in Chippiannoek cemetery, where those having loved oiteK sleep ing, place fresh flowers, only to find on their next visit that they have been stolen. One instance is cited where a man planted rose bushes on the mound of a relative, and In'fore he had been gone two hours they had disappeared. There should be a means of stopping this, and no punish ment could bo too severe for one who would lend himself to such a fiendish practice. Early this morning a party of young toughs, four or five in number, went down Fourth avenue in the west part 'f town', on their "way home af ter an evening of carousal. At the homes of W. II. Jordan, Mrs. .lulia Schreiner and David Donaldson they entered the yards and proceeded to tear up the flower beds and ornamen tal shrubbery. They were seen while engaged at their devilish work, but made their cscaje. It is believed to have Ih'Cii the same gang that .has been destroying the flower beds at Oarnsey square. NEWS OF THE RIVER.

TALK UNDER EARTH Method of Placing Telephone Ca bles in Buried Conduits , Explained. REALLY VERY SIMPLE MATTER Steam Roller I'aeU to Even the Irreg ularities In Pavement. Many who have observed the way in which the underground conduits are being laid by the Union Klectrie Telephone & Telegraph company havc been curious to know how the wires are placed in the little tunnels from one manhole to another. The latter are always a block apart and sometimes further, and to the ordin ary Hrsoii the matter of getting the heavy cables drawn through those small openings appears a rather dif ficult proposition. As such mysteries usually are, however, it is all very simple, the method being so commonplace, in fact, as to be almost disappointing. It is done with a rod made up of steel joints, much like the cleaning rod of a Krag-Jorgensen rifle, with the difference, however, that it can be lengthened indefinitely. These are screwed together as they are pushed through. Then a wire is attached and drawn through after the rod, the latter being taken apart as it is pulled out. After the wire conies a heavy rope, and this is made fast to the end of the cable. The cables are made to ordes and come in segments and are exactly the right length to reach between the. manholes where they are intend ed to be placed. F.ach is wrapped in a coil and the latter is placed above the manhole so that it can be un wound as the rope is drawn through from the other end. The pulling is done by a capstan run by hand, and care must be exercised that there be no breaks caused. The Cables. The cables are put together in an interesting manner. F.ach contains 1(H) pairs of copper wires completely insulated and enclosed in a heavy lead casing. The whole is about two inches in diameter. The insulation is accomplished by means of a curi ous fibrous paper, which is wrapped about each wire in strips. The pairs of wires are distinguished by their colors. A different and heavier kind of paper is usel inside the lead cas ing. There will be lOO.noo feet of this cable usim! in the three .cities, and it alone will cost $'.1(1.000. In the manholes the cables will be spliced ami divided, if it is desired. F.ach pair of wires will be joined to another air and the insulation care fully looked after. Then the whole will be saturated with melted par affin to drive out every bit of moist ure nnd prevent its return. The joints will be covered with lead "sleeves" enough larger than the ca ble so as to slip over it, and the cov ering will be soldered so as to make it air tight. If the manholes are fill ed with water, as often happens, no damage will result to the system. Distributed on I'oles. In the part of town where the wires are placed under ' ground, which will be done somewhat beyond the fire limits, the surface connec tions will be made through the man holes at the end of each block, 50 pairs of wires usually being brought up at a time. The distribution will, of course, be effected by menus of poles. The wires are connected in the manholes without regard to po sition, and after they have been brought to the surface at the end farthest from the central office, they are testetl and numbered. The conduits are arranged to canry from one ti four cables, according to the number of openings there are. They are laid in concrete their en tire length, and when once down they are never disturoed except in case of extraordinary accidents. Owing to the request that has been made in this city that bnt two blocks of each trench be kept ojen at a time, the fills are being made temporarily. The company promises to remedy the irregularities in the pavement that result from settling by relaying with more filling in the depressions and then putting on the heavy street roller. There is more catarrh in this sec tion of the country than in 'all other diseases put together, and until the last few j-ears was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local dis ease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven ca tarrh to be a constitutional disease, and, therefore, requires constitu tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the' only con stitutional cur.e on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 arops to a teaspoonful. It acts di rectly on the blood and mucous sur faces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes timonials. Address, F. J.

My brother was cured of Bright' s Disease from the use of Peruna and so I determined to try it for my trouble. 'imasrlne mv great lov when I found that it relieved me quite a bit the first month and I was entirely without pain during that period after having used Peruna only four months. . ,.
