Although the railroads are row

trun railrnail officials E3V that the

season. The changes in schedules on other railroads, throwing mail to the Pennsylvania, for quicker transportation they say, Is the cause. Train No. 11 is running through Richmond daily, arriving here at 6:23 in the evening:, carries 90, four wheel truck toads of mail into the St Louis station flaily, all of which is picked up enroute. About three times this amount Is .handled during the " trip between the two cities. Richmond contributes & large per cent of 1he mail to this Dne train alone. Xo. 11 however, Is not the only Pennsylvania vain running through
Richmond which is carrying heavy
Joads, all of them carry correspond Ing amounts, routes considered. There has been a cry among econ
omists recently that the railroads, 'stuff" the mail pouches during
weighing season in order to make the
contracts figure up larger, and tha
lis soon as the weighing season i3 over, the amount of mail transported neafn falls back to a norms! level.
Local railroad officials attribute the present Increase to the large number of mall houses sending catalogues and the number of magazines handled, while other railroads throwing vast amounts of mail to the Pennsylvania figures largely in the increase.

Railroads West of the Mississippi Fight Them.
May
Local railroad men are wondering
just- what will come of the railroa
two cent fare laws, which, Lave been
passed by several states during the
present sessions of the legislatures
The subject affords much food for
comment in the offices here, and the majority of them think the two cent rate bills will stand in states - east of the Mississippi but will be fought
west of that river. Some are of the opinion the railroads all over the country, will join hands just as soon as the legislatures have adjourned and
fight the laws to the bitter end.

Pennsylvania to Put Them Down on

NEW TRIAL TIME CARD. Four More Trains to be Run by the C. C. & L. A new trial time card has been received at the local C. C. & L. station which is supposed to go Into effect April 1, or thereabouts, announcing the putting on of four more trains, two for the north and two for the south, all of which is construed as meaning that without a doubt, trains will be running between Chicago and Cincinnati within the next few weeks. General Superintendent Dalton of the road, has been very busy at Hammond for the past few days rushing the work to completion. Tho new trains will mean the promotion of a few engineers and liremen and also brakemen . who have

RAILROAD NOTES.
Traffic men ing the west freight rates,
of the railroads enterhave decided that all transcontinental, shall
be raised in view of the adverse legislation which the railroads have en
countered in the many western states.

night trains run, that road has opened night telegraph offices at Camden,
Somerville, Collinsville and Sevenmile
all between Eaton and Hamilton.

Before a crowd of nearly 1,500 people which gathered at the Main Street Friends' church Sunday night to express their sentiment in regard to the .atrocities which are ; being committed in the Congo Free State by King Lfoold II. of Belgium, Jesse S. Reeves 'aN William Dudley Foulke roundly denounced the man who is largely responsible for the misuse of population and ' wealth of this unprotected state in the heart of the African continent. -Resolutions were read and adopted by the congregation. Neither speaker spared the inhuman actions of the "crowned bewhiskered fool," who is king of Belgium, and whose actions during the latter part of the nineteenth century and at the present time are such as to make the whole world rise and cry out "For shame, for shame!" The man who at the present time is robbing the blacks
of Congo by requiring them to pro
duce a certain amount of rubber each
year and for which they receive the
advantages (?) of civilization, which are taught them by the king's unscru
pulous agents placed in the field. Resolutions Are Adopted." The following resolutions were read
by Rev. E. G. Howard and adopted by a rising vote of the congregation:
Whereas: The statements of a mul
titude of veracious eye-witnesses re
garding the appalling outrages inflicted upon the native population of the Congo, have been confirmed by the conclusive testimony of an official
commission of inquiry appointed by King Leopold himself, and,
Whereas: A conference of fifty-
two missionaries, representing six different countries, held January 11, 1906, unanimously declare that these
cruelties continue unabated and that millions of defenseless people seem
doomed to annihilation.
Resolved. That we urge upon the
president to take all possible steps,
whether by remonstrance or otherwise, to end conditions which are a
reproach to the civilization of the
twentieth century and repugnant alike to religion, justice and humanity.
Resolved: That a copy of these res
olutions be sent by the -secretaries of
this society to the president of the
United States and to the secretary -of state, and that we urge all people of
every creed unceasingly to pray and to labor that this unspeakable crime
ainst God and man may be brought
to a speedy end.

Mr. Meeker is an Intellectual man and has prospered. With a desire to perpetuate In history, the old path to the west, he conceived the Idea some years ago of retracing his way on the old trail, ox team fashion, as in days of yore. All along the way he has been greeted enthusiastically. Monuments have been erected at many points and dedicated with appropriate ceremony. Thousands of school children, officials and speakers and men of public character have joined h?m at the several points and assisted in the work. Mr. Meeker Is seventy-six years old. He started on this expedition over a year ago with an assistant, a Scotch collie dog, and an ox team. He does not know what it is to be sick. He is up every morning at four and lives If possible in the open air. His eye i keen, mind alert, and step elastic. Ho expects to continue by easy stages to Washington by next December. He will then return to the state of Washington to again join the companion of hid life time and together celebrate tlieir fifty-sixth wedding anniversary.

GRIPPY WEATHER DURING PAST WEEK Contrary to the two previous ones, last week did not witness one clear day, all being cloudy, while there was eight-tenths of an inch of precipitation, in the form of snow, part on the night of Monday, and part between Thursday night and Friday morning. The highest point which the thermometer registered was 45 degrees; the lowest 19. The entire week was characterized by "grippy" weather, being damp and cloudy. Old King Sol showed his smiling countenance to his Richmond friends but few times, and then it was only for a few moments. The record of the temperature fol

Cambridge City, Ind., March 11
The first offense to be committed under the new vagrancy law recently instituted by the town council was that
of George Reigle, one of the seventeen men whose names were giv
en to the saloon keepers and druggists here last week. The offender was arrested by Marshal Drischel on Sunday afternoon on the charge of drunkeness and was confined in the town jail. The new turn which affairs have taken is a topic of general gossip and it now remains for the authorities to find out who sold the liquor to Reigle and place charges against him. Reigle Is a day laborer and a legal point may be brought up in proving him to be a habitual drunkard.
SCHOOL TEACHER WANTS TO PLAY BASEBALL New Paris, O.. March 11 Harry Hoffman, a well known young man of this place, who has been assistant instructor at the high school, has tired of the monotonous and uneventful life of a pedagogue and seeks to shine as a professional ball player. Hoffman has offered his services to any minor league team that wants him and the chances are that this coming season will see him cavorting on the grassy diamond. Hoffman has been playing amateur ball for several years and has made a good record for -himself and thinks that if he is given a chance with some minor league team he will make good from the start.

of the city peddling ordinance. This j
fine is the limit provided for in the ordinance. Yesterday morning in circuit court City Attorney T. J. Study appeared before Judge Fox and reminded him that he had held the Reddling ordinance to be valid but that he had not yet rendered judgment against the three defendants in the peddling case. Mr. Study asked that each be fined $25 and assessed the costs of the case. Judge Fox then acted on the suggestion of the city attorney. Will Not Appeal Case. Attorney Ray K. Shiveley, who represented Zuttermeister, Curry and Patridge, stated that he would not appeal the case to the Indiana supreme court, as he first thought of doing.
Hagerstown, Ind., March 11. Mrs. George Cummins died at her home near here Sunday evening, aged 30 years. She leaves a husband and five children, four boys and a girl, the eldest of whom is eight years and the youngest two weeks. The situation at the Cummins home has awakened the sympathy of the entire community. No nurse could be employed regularly and the only help was volunteered by neighbors and friends. Mrs. Cummins was always frail physically and her household cares were greater and harder than she could perform. Mr. Cummins is a member of the Odd- Fellows' lodge and that organization is assisting him in his troubles.
