PASSENGER RATE DISCUSSED HERE

President I>. M. Worland, of the Commercial Oltub, presided and introduced Mr. Cockrell , who presented the case of the railroads in a very effective arid * fair manner. Mr. Cockrell stated that in 1907 the state h'a«d passed a law reducing the rate from 3 cents to 2 cents per mile, a 33 1-3 per eertt reduction. Almoslt immedfiaitely legislatures began to impbse upon the railroads vtar ions requirements that materially increased the Investment and the running expenses of the roads. (Most of the condition's imposed were for (the convenience; comfort and safety of ithe pubbCa but th«?y (were expensive and the revenue of the roads (were cult down. The block signal System grants protection to ,tihe traveling public, but it cost a lot to install and a lot to maintain. Big steel oars .grant protection and elegance, but .they are 50 .per cent heavier to haul. The full Crew tatw caused the railroads to employ more men, as. also did the 16-hour #aw. The boiler inspeotflon law, electric headlights and automatic stokers all cost money and grant Safety and comfort, but their expense Was not been offset (by any finance of increase in revenue. Several iWho were present 'spoke in 'a manner fair to the railroad!* and the general opinion seemed favorajble to the adoption of'•a resolution asking our representatives in the legislature to support the repeal O fthe present Sbcerft law and the dmadtment of a 2Va cent law. It imam decided to 'postpone action until all the pteop'le could .be informed of 'the action and to Wold another meeting on Wednesday nighit, Jan. 13th, vdhea some action will be 'taken. The. Republican will this matter more completely within a few days and in justice to the claim of the railroad* will present (their claim (for the advanced rate. It is hoped that ithe meeting Wednesday evening Whidh Wil'l be held in the couKt house will ‘be largely attended and 'that fa free discussion of 'the project will be indulged in.

Morocco People Enthused Over Prospects For In ter urban.

The people of'. Morocco are very much enthused over their new proposed interanban and the Morocco Courier of last week States: Barring the unusual, it seems certain that the interunban line, will be constructed as proposed. Manager Brown and Mr. Shellhouse were here last week looking over the territory for the most feasible entrance and exit from Morocco, and assured us that they knew of no reason that the line would not go through as was planned. They will probably leave Mt Ayr a shbrt distance to the north and come straight West half way between the east and west highways until they reach the stone road half a mile east of Morocco and continue due west over the Street the light plant. However, this fs only suggestive on thenpart and way be changed when running the survey which fs now being don# between Rensselaer and Morocco Their idea is to follow# the shortest route and eliminate all curves possible.

BURGLARS WERE VERY FASTIDIOUS

In Raid on Fowler Store They Selected Wardrobes With Much Care. Fowler, Jan. B.—The Koontz & Dumpies clothing Store was raided last night in one of the most deliberate and well-planned burglaries ever .attempted in Fowler. Thrtee men, believed to hwve been tramps, did the job. They left their old cldfhes, including everything from the ou'ter mackinaws to caps, socks, garters, Underwear, etc., taking in place of thep new clothing from the underwear ou't. Nat only supplying themselves with* absolutely new outfits from the skin out, they decked out in new jewelry, including collar and cuff buttons* and tie pans. They demonstrated their good taste for mackin'aw's, not only taking the ones they could wear, but made a selection of several others, which they carried away in How grips which they stole from the store. Many new shirts, ties, dollars, etc., were included in the outfits which they appropriated. Fifteen dollars in money Was taken. Their discarded clothes, all of small sizes, were found in the rear of the store When it Was opened for business this morning. New articles were thrown hither and thither, indicating that they-.delib-erated in selecting Styles and sizes until they found what the wanted.

The burglars certainly loafed about the store a greater part of the night, as they smoked and lounged about on the big settee, trying on different kinds ors garments, gloves, shoes, silk socks, etje. They left some of the “making's” so rcigarettes, and were so unthoughtful as to leave their package of Duke’s Mixture on the floor. Also 'they left their glass cutter with which they removed a pane of glass from the rear window sash, which was their method of entering.

Tn the pockets ofone of the discarded coats were two receipts for quarterly duds paid to the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and paid in the name of J. W. Fitzgerald. The receipts were signed by >W. D. Bishop, treasurer.

Night Marshal Bowman had tried the doors earlier in the evening and reports that he found them locked and he tried to look over the front blind, which he says was drawn. Nb lights were nhtic cable. Niiek Dupics, of the Arm, made a trip to Kankakee today In hope of finding some trace of the men who bought tickets for the 3 a. m. train for that point. They all wore fur caps. His isearch Was unavailing
