The annual crop of snake stories is
now coming in and the various char ter members of the Ananias club
scattered throughout the state, are vieing with each other as to which can tell the largest. Of course there
may be some snake stories based on fact, but it is more than probable that
a large per cent of them are the fan

LIKELY TO BE TAKEN FROM SOME FAST TRAINS. Will Come About as Result of the Reduction in Compensation by the Government. In view of the fact that the compensation for hauling the mails on the great public carrier lines has been reduced, the railroad officials will meet in Chicago this week and discuss the feasibility of curtailing several special mail trains, running in certain directions in the western and southwestern states, the mail formerly carried on such trains, being thrown to the slower accommodation trains several hours later. According to the statements of railroad officials, it would be impossible to run many of the fast mail trains hereafter under the pres
ent system of remuneration for such
services. Are Hard to Use. According to information given out
at the local station it is well nigh useless for a passenger to attempt to ride on the Pennsylvania on a scalper's tic
ket. The road is paying special at
tention to these and where formerly there were hundreds of people riding
on scalpers' tickets monthly, there
are now hut few. As the result of the fight against scalpers' tickets, many ticket brokers along the Pennsylvania lines have been put out of business.
Given Thorough Test. Pennsylvania railroad - officials are making a thorough test of tlie Pull
man car recently turned out of the
shops and which is constructed entirely of steel. It is understood that up-to-date the tests have been so success-
full that the big corporation will immediately place an order for a large number of them although, they will not be used exclusively for about four years as the Pullman company is asking too much for them. The same holds true with steel equipment and manufacturers are holding out for about double what the railroads are willing to pay. Would Cut Down Cars. So insistent and widespread has become the demand of shippers for special cars on the local Pennsylvania divisions of the Pennsylvania and so expensive has this item become in railroad business, that the local officials are trying to cut down the output of these cars without handicapping the shippers. So great is the demand for larger cars, than those of the standard size, it is understood the entire Pennsylvania will order large cars in the future. Shippers have become so used to securing special cars in the past with ease, that they do not take into consideration the present freight congestion, and wait until the last moment and as the result have to be delayed because the railroads cannot even furnish them the standard size cars. Due to Legislation. When asked why the Pennsylvania had retrenched on its equipment order for five thousand freight cars, a local official said he thought it due to congress and the state legislatures, and they alone were responsible for the cessation of improvements and enlargement of rolling stock. According to his statement the more the legislatures go after the railroads with the "big stick," the more the railroads
will raise freight rates, as this at pre
sent is the only possible means of
making up for drains caused by ad verse legislation in recent months.

Keep Your Nerve It is nerve energy that runs the, organs of your bod'. The storage battery is the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, and from this battery nerve force is sent out through the system of nerves. To keep the body healthy you must have plenty of nerve force; if you have not, the organs work imperfectly, the circulation is sluggish, digestion bad, appetite poor, kidneys inactive, and aches, pains and misery are the penalty. You can keep the system strong with Dr. Miles Nervine. It assists in generating- nerve energy ; it strengthens the nerves and makes the whole

In writing from "Washington, Louis Ludlow says: "That the third-term boomers are on the wrong tack is the opinion of William Dtidley Foulke of Richmond, Ind., who is here consulting with some of the nation's leading statesmen. He spent one evening at the white house in an extended confernce with the president and last night he was a guest over night at the home of Attorney General Charles J.- Bonaparte in Baltimore. He was seen today at the Cosmos club. There is every reason to believe that he could have a good position under the administration, probably that of first assistant secretary of
the interior, if he would accept it. but
he has no ambitions in that direction.
He will sail from New York Thursday with his daughter for Norway, where
they will spend two or three months. "When asked today what he thinks of the third term ta?k he said: "I have no authority whatever to speak and no definite knowledge, but I believe'that the president stands today exactly where he stood when he made the statement that he would not be a can
didate. "In discussing the president and the railroads Mr. Foulke spoke in an ironical vein. He said: 'I find there are two complaints made against the president which seem to be equally reasonable and decidedly contradictory. One is that he ought not to interfere with legislation in congress by talking to individual members of congress, giving his opinion whether a. certain bill ought or ought not to pass. This is de
clared to be a great usurpation of pow
er. At the same time some of the men
who are making this complaint say of
him that he ought to use his influence
to prevent state legislatures from pass
ing any further legislation inimical to
the railroad companies. Now he has
no power at all over the states and it
is his duty to advise congress in- re
spect to legislation yet the men who
want him to do the former strenuously object to his doing the latter. This
is an illustration of the harmony which
exists among the various critics of the
president.'
"Mr. Foulke's particular mission at
the white house, he said, was to talk
over certain affairs of the Indian Terri
tory, where he was sent recently to investigate frauds in the sale of town sites. He said that the subject of a position under the administration was not mentioned."
If a scheme that has been sprung in Chicago proves successful, it will become general all over the country and you will cease to buy eggs by the dozen and potatoes by the peck. In Chicago they are selling eggs ,by the pound, and an ordinance is before the council to compel . potatoes and other vegetables to be sold by weight instead of measure. Instead of ordering a dozen of eggs the customer now orders three pounds of eggs, which is what an average dozen of eggs should weigh. It is proposed that bushel measures, half bushel nvasures and peck measures shall be thrown on the scrap heap. Even bread is to be sold by the pound. The sale of eggs by the pound has long been advocated. In Chicago at least the hen has come into her own. No longer the result of her labors, big eggs and little eggs, be gathered together and sold as common dozen, but a big egg will count, and when it is weighed alongside of the little eggs of her competitors the books will show her credit. Only peddlers and unscrupulous dealers will object to the change. A New Castle grocer to whom the Chicago scheme was described expressed himself heartily in favor of it. "At present." he said, "a peck of potatoes is supposed Jo weigh fifteen- pounds. We buy them by the pound and sell them by measure. An unscrupulous dealer can make a peck measure appear to be heaping over, when in reality there are scarcely twelve pounds of potatoes in it. Tt is the same way with other vegetables. Let the pound weight be legally adopted as the universal measure and fraud on the part of marketmen will cease."
