ALL NIGHT MESSAGES TAKEN BY THIS COMPANY ARE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS; 
The Western Union Telegraph Company will receive messages, to be sent during the night, for 
delivery not earlier than the morning of the next ensuing business day, at reduced rates, but in no case 
for less than twenty-five cents tolls for a single message. 
To guard against mistakes or delays, the sender of a message should order it REPEATED ; that is, 
telegraphed back to the originating office for comparison. For this, one-half the regular rate is charged 
in addition. It is agreed between the sender of the following message and this Company, that said 
Company shall not be liable for mistakes or delays in the transmission or delivery, or for non- 
delivery of any unrepeated message, beyond the amount received for sending the same ; nor for 
mistakes or delays in the transmission or delivery, or for non-delivery .of any repeated message beyond 
ten times the sum received for sending the same, unless specially insured, nor in any case for delays 
arising from unavoidable interruption in the working of its lines, or for errors in cipher or obscure 
messages. And this Company is hereby made the agent of the sender, without liability, to forward any 
message over the lines of any other Company when necessary to reach its destination. 
Correctness in the transmission of a message to any point on the lines of this Company can be insured 
j oy contract in writing, stating agreed amount of risk, and payment of premium thereon, at the following 
rates, in addition to the usual charge for repeated -messages, viz, one percent, for any distance not exceed 
ing 1,000 miles, and two percent, for any greater distance. No employee of the Company is authorized 
to vary the foregoing. 
No responsibility regarding messages attaches to this Company until the same are presented and 
accepted at one of its transmitting offices ; and if a message is sent to such office by one of the Company’s 
messengers, he acts for that purpose as the agent of the sender. 
Messages will be delivered free within the established free delivery limits of the terminal office. For 
delivery at a greater distance, a special charge will be made to cover the cost of such delivery. 
The Company will not be liable for damages or statutory penalties in any case where the claim is 
not presented in writing within thirty days after the message is filed with the Company for transmission
