MAKING FIGHT FOR WESTERN-TRAVEL MANY AGENTS VISIT RICHi MOND TO SOLICIT PASSENGERS FOR THE WEST. C1PETITI0II VE3Y STRONG Owing to Mild Weather in This Section of the Country People Willing to Stay Home. The great railways out of Chicago and St. Louis for the West, are making a strong bid for passenger traf- - fic this winter, and in every state each of these roads maintain branch passenger offices, with traveling Agents, who visit personally many of those who have written to the office for information. On account of the fine weather wf lich has characterized this winter, the travel to California and other western states has been smaller than r.sual this year, and the passenger rgents are granting concessions to prospective passengers to induce hem to so west. Climate is des cribed as resembling that of the "Garden of Eden" and with the "personally conducted" part of the trip specialized, many are induced to go. It is a fact, however, that the western roads are giving better service this year to tourists than ever before and better trains, better time and better rates are to be had from any of the seven or eight roads to California. Richmond is visited nearly every day by one or more traveling passenger agents. "' RAILROAD NOTES The Portland and Muncie Traction Company will soon be operating its ears between these two cities, and in a short time the line will be continued across the Ohio line and over to Celina, Ohio, to meet the line of the Western Ohio Electric Ry. This will mean one more interstate electric voad, of which there are now several, and those which were built first will have a hard time holding on to their present business. . The acquisition by the Standard 'Oil of the C. II. & D., is causing a great deal of comment in the .financial world, and it is considered a great stroke of 'enterprise on the part of Rockfeller to have purchased the road which runs through his oil fields. ' ; 'i v- . C. F. Pierce, formerly a ratfe'clerk for the Queen and Crescent Rr. has accepted the position of Chief Clerk to W. B. Calloway, general agent of the C, II. & D. Mr. Calloway formerly lived in this city and was connect-' ed with the C. C. & L. P. J. Edwards, traffic manager of the Indiana Traction lines, . with headquarters in Cincinnati, is making an inspection of the lines this week and will visit Richmond soon. . One of the express companies in this city had a heavy , piece of expressage to handle yesterday. It .was a paper pulley, made by a Cincinnati Electric firm and weighed 2400 lbs. It was a cumbersome thing to handle

- ' John Collins, of the freight departmentf ,, the Pennsylvania lines, re turned last evening from a few days business, trip over the Logansport division. The Wisconsin State Lerislature is now taking steps to regulate the rate on passenger trains to two cents a mile and it looks as if such a law would be passed. Several prominent members of the House and of the Senate have expressed themselves as being in favor of such action, and although the railroads are going to fight it, such a law will probably be made. DAILY RAGE BETWEEN TRAINS FROM COLUMBUS, OHIO, TO NEW YORK CITY. Pennsylvania and Big Four Trains Now Leave Ohio City at the Same Time. I There is to be a daily race to New York from Columbus, Ohio, between and New York Central lines (or Big Four.) A change in the time of the Pennsylvania train makes it leave Columbus each day at 5:45 p. m., the exact time of the leaving of the train on the Big Four, and from there to New York City the race is an ' almost even one. . The Pennsylvania train, which is to be known as the New York Special, reaches the metropolis at 9 a. m. and the Twentieth Century Limited, on the New York Central, pulls in a half hour later; Each train can make the distance in less time and it is probable that occasionally time will be clipped off the schedule on both roads. The trip from Richmond to Columbus can be made in about two hours and three quarters, making the total running time between this city and New York, about eighteen hours. 161 ST INDIANA TO GET MONEY. It is expected that the long expected check from the War Department for the services of the lGlst Regiment of Volunteers, during the Spanish American War has been drawn and that the soldiers will get the money soon. The lawyers get 25 per cent of the $30,000, which has been allowed. The remainder will be distributed among the former soldiers who composed the regiment. KEMPER RETURNS TO INDIANA. Rev. Mr. F. M. Kemper, formerly of this city, has returned from his pastorate in Jacksonville, Fla., and has accepted a charge with the Methodist church at Mishawaka, Ind. ATTENDED DUNBAR FUNERAL. Several Richmond people attended the funeral of Paul Laurence Dunbar, the celebrated negro poet, who died in Dayton last week. . Among those who went to Dayton Monday were the Misses Esther G. White and M. E. B. Culbertson, Mrs. Mary Frame Selby, J. E. Iliff, Henry C. Fox, Luther C. Abbott and George Conrad. FIRST REGULAR REHEARSAL. The Richmond City basd has undergone a reorganization and held its first regular rehearsal on Sunday afternoon. The band has adopted a regular rate schedule, and it is hoped that it will be placed on a sound basis. . D. L. MATHER GOT OFFICE. D.

MERGER BLOCKED FOR TIME BEING SO SAYS AN OFFICIAL OF DAY-. TON AND WESTERN TRACTION LINE. TWO LINES ARE HOLDING BACK Dayton and Western and The Ohio Western Want More Money Than is Offered. An official of the Dayton & West ern who was in this city yesterday stated that the plan of limited ear service, between Indianapolis and Detroit, had almost been given up and that the merger of the lines con necting the two cities, had been blocked for the time being by the J stand taken by the Dayton & Western and the Ohio Western, which runs from Dayton to Lima. These two lines are the missing links in the great Morgan, Murdock, Scheff system, which it is said now controls all traction lines from Detroit to Lima, from Richmond to Indianapolis and from Indianapolis to Lafayette. There is no doubt that the two lines which are holding out will join the system, if they get . their price but it is said that up to the present time the consideration offered has not been sufficient. On February 18, the traction line between Columbus, O., and Dayton, will be sold and the Murdock crowd will be strong bidders for the property. If an arrangement can be effected with the Ohio Western a limited car service between Cincinnati and Detroit will soon be put on, probably next week. A SOUTHERN INDIANA CLUB. Organized at Los Vegas, New Mexico Many Prominent People Are Helping the Movement. Hoosiers who have been transplanted from their native soil to New Mexico, held a meeting a short time ago in Los Vegas and effected the organization of an Indiana club. No Richmond people are named .among the members, but according to a Los Vegas paper, the Hoosier colony in that city is the largest representation of any state in the union. Senators Beveridge and Hemenway, George Ade, James Whitcomb Riley, Vice President Fairbanks, Governor Hanly, Booth Tarkington and other prominent Indianaians have been interested in the club and will co-operate with it from the Indiana end. OFFICERS WERE RE-ELECTED. At the annual meeting of the Medical staff of the Reid Memorial Church, Dr. T. H. Davis was re-elected president and Dr. S. C. Markeley secretay. PIPE ORGAN COMPLETED. The building committee of the United Presbyterian Church has received word that the pipe organ and echo organ to be used in the Keid Memorial church, have-, been completed and will be shipped in a few days. . The system of , these -organs will be one of the finest in the state.

Simpson-of ''Oxford and Miss Fennimore .pf Earlham being exceptionally strong. -The clear cut victory of the Earlham girls last night raises the Quaqers sun nigner in tne toremost ranks of college debators, and at the same time shows that the girls are amply able to keep up this reputation.

The ' Ministerial Association plans to have monthly sermons at its Monday .meetings and the public will be invited. The ministers hope that this will eventually culminate in a monthly noon meeting at one of the churches, which will prove attractive to the business men. The liquor case against David Gee has been continued indefinitely by common consent of the attorneys on both sides. Many requests from Catarrh sufferers who use atomizers have resulted in Liquid Cream Balm, a new and convenient form of Ely's Cream Balm, the only remedy for Catarrh which can always be depended on. In power to allay inflammation, to cleanse the clogged air-passages, to promote free, natural breathing, the two forms of Cream Balm are alike'. Liquid Cream Balm is sold by all druggists for 75 cents, ' including spraying tube. Mailed by Ely Bros., 50 Waven street, New York. . ; ; : of Woolens. HAKE.

BY LEAVING HIS FORTUNE ROCKEFELLER COULD NOT ATONE FOR HIS WRONGS. So Says Attorney General Hadley of Missouri Has Set an Example To Other Financiers. Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 12. Herbert S. Hadley, attorney general of Missouri, in an interview here is quoted as saying that if John D. Rockefeller, at his death, should leave his entire possessions to the nation it would not atone for the wrong, which he alleges, the Standara uu country nas clone to tne country. "Suppose that John D. Rockefeller on his death left all his Standard Oil possessions as a gift to the nation to be held in trust permanently for all the people, what then would the peo- , pie think of him?" was asked Mr. Hadley." j "If Rockefeller did that," replied the attorney general, " he could sot atone for the almost incalculable moral wrong he has done the coun1 try. It would not atone for the dis tinctly dishonorable and commercially immoral trend the success of Standard Oil methods has given the trading and financial organizations of America. In my own recent investigations I have had the most positive and actual proof of the demoralizing influence of Standard Oil in Missouri. ? "Railroad preferences still exist. It costs 5 cents more to freight oil from St. Louis to Kansas City than it does from Kansas City to St. Louis. But Standard Oil has a refinery at Kansas City. Standard Oil is shipped in iron barrels and independent in wooden. barrels. ; Iron barrels are heavier, but the rate n wooden barrels is one class higher. "Railroad officials have been bribed here. The spy system is common. Every trick and turn that can be adopted to evade the law is used without scruples." WILLIAM RICHTER MARSHAL. Hagerstown, Ind., Feb. 14.

The most ; remarkable case of conscience ref under, as a result of a religious revival that is on record comes from Hobbs, a little village five mijes west of Elwood. The postmaster, Jerry Ressler, opened a mail sack and aJfcung its contents was a gimlet, with a mailing tag attached to it. To his surprise the postmaster found the tag bore his address. In the same mail was a letter from a man at Lebanon, saying that he had stolen a gimlet from the tool box of Kessler, who was running a threshing outfit eighteen years ago. The writer had lost the original gimlet, but having been converted at a recent revival meeting, he felt his conscience troubling him, and: had purchased a similar tool and forwardit. If satisfactory to let him know that his conscience might rest. Otherwise he would send the proper amount to purchase another gimletr The postmaster says the obligation is discharged, ' - v V - 't A CHOICE VARIETY OF FINE, QUALITY HAIR, CLOTHES and TOOTH BRUSHES at ..DICKINSON PHARMACY.. 1031 MAIM ST. . ......
