THEY THINE BO AD WILL BE THOROUGHLY IMPROVED THIS SUMMER.

FREIGHT BUSINESS BETTER A New Schedule Giving Faster Service Between Chicago and Cincinnati in Effect. ... , C, C. & L. railroad men are very optimistic in regard to the outlook for the coming summer. It is generally believed that the road will be gone over thoroughly, reballasted and some grades eliminated, and that new rolling stock and locomotives will be acquired. During the time the road was' under the control of the C, II. & D., little work was done toward maintaining a good track or a fast schedule. The C, C. & L. engines were taken over by the other road and small ones given in return. These engines are coming back to the shops again, p.nd after a few repairs are made, will be as good as new. Already the freight business is increasing rapidly and a new schedule which provides for better though service between Cincinnati and Chicago, and waystations, went into effect Sunday, freight can be rushed through to Chicago in one day and. to Cincinnati within a few hours. There is no cumbersome yards to manage in Cincinnati, and no trouble is experienced in delivery of cars to sidings, where they can be unloaded. The track in some places up the line is in poor condition and not suitable for the operation of fast trains. The rails are the best, however, and with the rock ballast which it is thougt, will be used, a roadbed fit for any sort of train will be provided. ; NEW SCHEDULE Iff EFFECT SUNDAY IT WILL BE NECESSARY POR PANHANDLE TO INCREASE . ITS FORCE. PROMOTIONS ARE III ORDER Two Through Trains Between Chicago and Cincinnati Mean Good ' Jobs for Some One. The new spring schedule on the Pennsylvania will go into effect next Sunday, when the two fast trains between Chicago and Cincinnati will be put into service. Yesterday the C, II. & D. put on its fast trains and a week before the Big Four did the same thing. It is thought that the reason that three roads are making such a fight against time, between the two cities is because large mail contracts are to be let by the government, and the fastest train, with the best equipment will get the contract. The two trains which are to be put on, are not taking the place of others, and for that .reason, two addi tional conductors, two brakemen andf two baggagemen are needed. A notice has been posted at the Pennsylvania depot, announcing this fact. It is not yet known who will get the positions. ', RAILROAD NOTES

Pennsylvania Will Lead the right Against Rate Law in Ohio Hold Conference.

Priladelphia, February 26. Accepting the Pennsylvania's lead, all railroads operating lines in Ohio have agreed that legal action shall be taken to have the court declare unconstitutional the.; new law of that State, which, effective from March 10, fixes 2 cents a mile as the maximum passenger rate chargeable by any railroad in Ohio. This decision, which means nothing less than a finish fight and a strength test between the commonwealth of Ohio and the great railroad interests of that State, was reached at a conference held in the boardroom at Broad street station. ; More than a score of railroad executives and subordinate officers took part in the conference. It was held in response to a call issue by James McCrea, first vice-president of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg. Every effort was made to keep secret the conference. That is one reason why it was called in Philadelphia rather than at Pittsburg or in Ohio. TAKE FIRST WORK OUT EARLHAM HAS GOOD PROSPECTS IN TRACK. Besides the State Meet Two Other Contests Are Being Arranged For. The candidates for the Earlhara track team took their first out door work Saturday morning under the direction of Coach Collins and Afsistant Coach Wilson. Tryouts were given in all the dashes and runs, ns well as field events and some of the new men showed up exceptionally well. ' Although there will be only two old men on the track squad this year, it is thought, after the good showing of the new men Saturday, that Earlham will be a strong contestant for the I. C. A. L. championship again this year. So far the state meet is the only one scheduled" but Manager Wilson hopes to arrange dates with at least two other schools, probably Cincinnati University and Wabash. Miami-University has asked for. a dual meet, but owing to the strained athletic relations between the two schools, growing out of a brutal football game played three years ago, it is not probable that the Earlham faculty will allow the Quakers to meet Miami. RULES ARE TO BE STRICT COLLEGE PROFESSORS MAKE NEW RULINGS. Prof. Sackett Says That When New Laws Are Announced They Will be a Surprise. ' ' ; ' If the recommendations of the special committee of representatives of Indiana Colleges, appointed . to draft plans for the securing of a higher standard of college athletics are acted upon favorably by all the institutions interested in the matter, the rules governing the playing of football will be even stricter than the rules recently adopted by the "Big Nine" universities. ,. Prof. R. L. Sackett of Earlham attended this meeting and he states that the recommendations drafted are not yet ready to be made public, but when they are, a big surprise will be furnished to the lovers of the game. i He states that where the line will be drawn most closely will be the eligibility of players, one of the greatest evils of the game as it is now played. The committee will recommend that the faculties of the colleges be made responsible for the men who play on the elevens. It is thought that this method will put a stop to the practice of some Indiana colleges of playing 11 ringers" and professionals. Another radical departure that the committee recommends is the placing, of. a limit for the number of games each college hall play in a aeaeoqu .

CHARLES M. JACOBS, BUILDER OF SIX TUNNELS UNDER THE HUDSON RIVER. Engineer Jacobs has already driven two trolley tunnels under the Iludson. Is driving two more and also has charge of the two great Pennsylvania tunnels from New Jersey to New York. He previously made a gas tunnel under the East river, surveyed for the Battery tunnel and subways, constructed tunnels under the Thames and did engineering work In Wales and India. Mr. Jacobs Is an Englishman and Is about fifty-five years of age.

"OUR BOYSTJAS VERY PLEASING LARGE AUDIENCE SAW PLAY AT ST. MARY'S HALL LAST NIGHT. PRODUCED MUCH LAUGHTER Piece Showed Effects of Excellent Coaching of J. D. Taylor of This City. An audience that completely taxed the seating capacity of St. Mary's hall, greeted in an enthusiastic manner, last erening, the production of the ond ' English comedy, - Our Boys' : from start to finish ami its rendition was splendid every member of the cast "starring." ; George McKone, who did such creditable work in the "First Lieutenant," made a hit last evening in his part of "Charles Middlewick." Albert Ringhoff's "Talbot Champneys," an Englishman with an American experience, was most creditable and Miss Mabel Steinkamp as "Mary Melrose" made herself a favorite with the audience.

With this determination they marched in a body to the Business College but when they arrived, at the entrance one lad, evidently loosing his nerve, bolted. The others hesitated a minute and then, like a flock of sheefv followed their "leader.",
