HOW TO ECONOMIZE*

OME men economize so closely on the number of words in a. telegram that the receiver can not understand it* This is not sensible economy. Neither is it sensible economy to ruin garments of value with cheap soap or powerful chemicals that eat into the fabric True economy uses Ivory Soap in the laundry. It is the most of pure soap that can be sold for the money. Chemically it is as innocent as water. Yet it does everything you can ask of a soap. Try it I

CIVIC ALLIANCE WILL TRY NEW GRAND JURY.

I ■■MU

HAPPY REUNION OF WAR VETERANS AT MARTINSVILLE.

IS GETTING NEW EVIDENCE

Which, Together with Old, will be Presented—Bookwalter Denounced for Permitting Violations of Liquor Law.

It U believed that charges against saloons that have been running Sundays and after hours will be presented to the new grand* Jury this month by the Civic Alliance. Members of the alliance decline to disclose what their plans are, but it is the understanding that they will make another effort to obtain Indictments on the

testimony they have gathered.

Their attorney, Ell F. Ritter, has a list of the grand Jurors. He is investigating the politics, for politics is supposed by the temperance people to play a promlipnt part In their repeated defeats. They will probably press some of the same charges they presented to the last grand Jury, but It Is understood that they also have some

PENNSYLVANIA ORDERS SOME PROM SOUTH AMERICA.

SAID TO LAST HFTY YEARS

Cost Again as' Much as Ties Now Uapd—-45,000 Pennsylvania Trainmen to Have Wages Raised—

Other Railroad News.

One of the things railroads hava Contend with is getting flrst-class Oack ties. There has been such a demand for them that In some parts of the country the timber supply Is exhausted and the roads have to ship them In from a distance. The average life of a tie is from seven to ten years, and on most roads they will average about 2,000 to a mile,

so the demand is always large.

The Pennsylvania Is trying an experiment* with “mora” wood that Is found in large quantities in British Guiana and also grows in other parts of South America. The company has given an order for •‘mora" ties, and when they are received they will be put into the tracks on the -divisions where there is heavy traffic for the purpose of giving them a thorough test. ‘‘Mora” wood is exceedingly hard and H is said that its wonderful duraWTity will make it the cheapest tie in - the end. The ties can be got out for *1 each and the freight and other charges will bring the cost up to about fLGO. buF the assertion is made that tbe tie will be good for safe service for at least flfty years. The wooden ties now used cost about 75 cents each. It is estimated that the railroads expend over $80,000,000 for ties each year, and that the roads need about 112,000,000 new ties annually. Tho tout number of ties now in use by rail-

roads is figured at 720,000,000.

anywhere. Mr. Walsn wanted another weighing, but the department would not grant it until the next regular year for weighing railway mail, which will be In the latter part of 1903. TTie result is that the postal cars carry no mall from here to Bedford. Mr. Walsh had some difficulty with an express company on the same score, and when the express company quit he started his own company and got a law through the Legislature compelling the old companies to exchange business with his

company.

Big Four Improvement*. * The Big Four will make some improvements that have long been needed on the Whitewater division. Traffic has become so heavy that there is a demand for more side-tracks, and this will cause some sharp engineering. The right-of-way of the road is along the canal bank, and there la not much room to put in sidings and it may be that the roadbed in some places may have to be built out. The track Is in fine condition and the station buildings are well kept up. but the company will spend some money to make still further Improvements. It Is also the Intention to make some improvements on the Martinsville branch.

drinks in order to tell the grand jury about It, have been continuing their work since the advent of the new administration, it is understood. Some of these more recent cases will probably be among those

brought before the jury.

In a quiet way the Civic Alliance indorsed Bookwalter during the last campaign. Now the members are denouncing him? They say he Is permitting saloons to

run at will.

*•*1 can’t see where he expects to end,” said Mr. Ritter. “This open violation of the law can not continue. Talk that It can not be suppressed is bosh. The saloons could not run Sundays unless the mayor wished it.” Tfie anti-saloon element now has bottles of beer that have been purchased in nearly every saloon in the city. Especial efforts will be made to obtain Indictments against some of the down-town saloons that are most flagrant violators of the liquor laws.

THEIR WAGES RAISED.

I

E

AM Pennsylvania Employe*, Except Officers' Clerks, Get More Pay. The bulletins announcing the increase in pay of the Pennsylvania employes, mentioned In The. News, December 27, were posted yesterday. The increase applies to all employes except officers’ clerks, and they may have their wages raised before the middle of the year. The amount of additional pay will figure up $5 or $6 a month for the shop and yard men, but will be more than that for the

trainmen ,

The Philadelphia Press to-day says that an increase of from 4 to 12 per cent, in the wages of about 45.000 trainmen will be made soon by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, effective from January 1. It will apply to all the trainmen on the lines owned or operated by tbe company. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company employe on Its system east of Pittsburg . and Erie about #0,000 men, of which number fully one-half are used in the running of trains. It Is hinted that the clerical force will come in for consideration later in U»e year.

He tells them they must wait until 1904 unices the department backs down from Its position. When he completed the extension of the road to this city from Bedford, passing through Linton, the Government authorities offered hin^ $42 a mile for carrying the mall, the amount being based on the weighing done In 1889, when the Southern Indiana did not run much of

NEW YORK, January 2.-Formal notice wa* issued to-day that in exercise of the power conferred upon it the Northern Pacific Railway Company retired Its preferred stock yesterday. Each holder of a certificate for preferred stock not heretofore surrendered will, upon presentation and surrender of his certificate at the office of the company. No. 49 Wall street, receive payment in cash at par. Except as to this claim, all rights claims of the preferred stockholders have ceased to exist. Notice was also given by the Northern Pacific Railroad Company that it elected to require the holder of every 4 per cent, convertible certificate of the company to convert the same into cbmmon stock of the company at the rate of one share of $100 for each $100 of the unpaid principal of the certificate and upon presentation and surrender of such certificate at the company’s office the holder will be entitled to receive therefor common stock of the company at the rate aforesaid. No Interest will accrue or be payable upon any such certificate from and after January I, 1902. These notices showed that from and after to-day the capital stock of the company would consist of $156,000,000, entirely in common stock, and that the bond certificate issued to provide for the retirement of the preferred stock would be retired immediately. The effect of this was 'to put what was formerly preferred stock on the same basis as the old common. Northern Securities Company. All of the Northern Pacific stock Is to be taken over by the Northern Securities Company,, which will also acquire all of the stock of the Great Northern. The Northern Securities Company will thus hold the stock certificate of two great companies in the Northwestern field, and under the settlement agreed upon between the contending interests for control In that field, will administer the properties in its charge to the end that harmony may pre-

vail.

The belief in Wall street was general today that the rapid retirement of the Northern Pacific preferred stock, followed by the redemption of the bonds Issued for its retirement, had removed the obstacles in the way of the carrying out of the plan for the adjustment of the difficulties which grew out of the contest for the control of Northern Pacific last May. Regarding that Electric Combine. NEW YORK. January 2.-One of the officials of the Westlnghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company said last night that the story of a Morgan electric combination involving his company and the General Electric Company was without foundation so far as he knew. He said; “Such reports are easily originated and readily believed by the majority of financial people and others interested in industrial matters who look upon such an arrangement as almost inevitable. Tbe chjef obstacles in the way of such an arrangement are probably the conservative views of those in control of the Westlnghouse company as to the capitalization, management and other details.” .

HAS NOT

DECIDED WHAT WILL DO.

NOT STRENUOUSLY INCLINED

May Go Abroad for Rett and Sightseeing and Lecture on Economics When He Return*. .

{Special to The Indianapolis News.] WASHINGTON, January. 2.—Lyman J. Gage, Secretary of the Treasury, has carefully refrained from discussing his plans for the future. The reason Is a very good one, ‘namely, they have not yet been made. All kinds of reports have gone out, to the effect that he would go to New York to take charge of a huge bank to be formed, and that he would go to Chicago to be the head of one of the big institutions there. Neither of these reports has any substantial basis. The fact is, several things have been offered Mr. Gage, which to many men would seem flattering, but none of them is just what he wants^ He has the*) under consideration, and will reserve judgement for at least a month, during which time he will remain where he Is. After his successor comes there will be a few days when Mr. Gage will stay around to assist Mr. Shaw in starting on his new labors. Mr. Gage is not pining to enter the strenuous life of private banking on a large scale. He feels that he has served his apprenticeship in that line. So he feels of public service. He has enjoyed his duties /us Secretary of the Treasury, and has enjoyed the reputation he has made in that position. Undoubtedly he would have been glad to remain another four years in the cabinet. Mr. Gage will not retire; that is, he does not care to become entirely Inactive. He had thought some W going abroad, and he may still do that. But he has visited the old countries twice and thinks huma£ nature is much the same in Paris as in Oshkosh. Only "a little more so.” What Mr. Gage Is looking for is some position of semiretirement; something which would give him enough to do to keep him from growing rusty, and yet not so much as to make heavy drafts on his time or energies. If a oosition as lecturer on economics in some institution of learning were offered him, he might be found inclined to accept. He is a good deal of a scholar and his practical experience, added to his theoretical knowledge, would make him a very competent man for such a place. Died in the Philippines.

success an uphill struggle,

with a back that is constantly aching, with distressing urinary disorders, with kidneys constantly calling for help. Daily existence is a discouraging fight.

But there’s no need to keep it up.

DOAN’S KIDNEY PILLS

cure backache, and urinary troubles and kidney

nesses of all sorts.

Indianapolis people say so.

You couldn’t ask for better proof than you’ll find

this statement of an Indianapolis citizen. Mr. C. W. Walk, 1117 Church street, employed by Kingan ft Co., ere, says: “Last May my kidneys became irregu^ffi and I deal from backache and pains through my loins,-^^evere at tl laliy if I stooped or lifted, that 1 was hardly ab.V to hold out until

day’s work was finished. There was also at times too frequent action of the kidney secretions, while at others a-tendency to suppression. I,M Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised, and made ud my mind to try them, got a box at Henry J. Huder’s drug store, and I am very glad that I for their use greatly benefited me in every way. I can honestly reo mend Doan’s Kidney Pills as a grand medicine for all kidney trouble.”
