Louisville, Ky., is said to be so roller-skating crazy that the people camp near the rink in tents in order to not lose any time and be on hand when the doors are opened each morning. Such report would tend to make one believe' the "wheels" were not all on

PRESERVATION OF THE BISON. Unless heroic efforts are made within a comparatively short time it appears that the American bison is to become merely a memory. Discussing this question Caspar Whitney in a recent magazine article says: One of the worthiest causes now before the public for support is preservation of the American bison, which in hardly thirty years decreased from numberless herds of thousands to About fifteen hundred individuals. For a long time It has been apparent to the intelligent that the day is fast approaching when the bison will become extinct unless by some unusual and united effort its rapidly diminishing numbers are restored through powerful protective measures. This realization has spurred to effort from time to time various organizations of sportsmen and some individual men; but none has made material advance and all together have had little effect on the real issue. The only practical
results of the agitation were the establishment by sportsmen of small herds for their private estates. Several of our zoological gardens also have done excellent service through securing amall herds and endeavoring to surround them with conditions conducive to breeding. One of the most intelligent workers along these lines is the Zoological society of New York, which has gathered the largest number to be fotmdvin any zoological garden of the worldand turned them out on a range which more nearly than that of any other enclosure approaches ..conditions of real wilderness. Yet the breeding results-on private estates, on rather extended ranges, and at the several zoological gardens have been, about the same and none too encouraging."
"When the Y. M. C. A. project is disposed of, successfully we hope, three other projects will come into the public eye that are well deserving of patronage and support. They are the May music festival, the annual art exhibit and the Chautauqua.

TELEGRAPHONE IN USE. A composite set or a telegraphone has been put in service on the Pennsylvania between this city and Logansport, also between Richmond and Bradford, O. The instrument is very similar to a telephone only both telegraph and telephone are operated over the same wire. Talking does not interfere with the telegraph, neither does the telegraph interfere with the telephone. The instrument is a marvel of mechanical construction and invention. Only a limited number of the instruments will be placed along each line out of Richmond. SENT TO TROUBLESOME CUT. Since the announcement that the C. C. & L. railroad would enter Chicago April 7, work had practically ceased
between Hammond and Chicago on that line. The foreigners used on the north end of the line are being sent to the troublesome cut near Cincinna-
The suggestion in reference to improved street sprinkling facilities is a good one and the city authorities would do well to investigate the question. It is not only a question of cleanliness but of health as well.
Richmond now has three banks, two

PLACE IS WELL CHOSEN. Ferbaps considering that It is a great center' of Quaker thought and education, no more appropriate place could have been selected for the meeting of the general conference of American Friends in 1907 than Richmond. This gathering will be held in the Quaker city of the "West In the fall of this year and will bring together the brightest minds of this small, but highly influential denomination. Some of the most progressive thinkers in the denomination at this time are residents of Richmond and they are young men who promise to wield a wide influence In bringing about changes in the methods that this conservative body has long held to and which have impeded its progress as compared with that of other denominations. It is probable the coming general conference will take action bordering almost on the radical in reference to some matters and that in this such men as Prof. Elbert Russell, of Earlham college; the Rev. Clarence M. Case, pastor of the South Eighth street church, and the Rev. Alfred Ware, pastor of East Main street church, will be leaders. They have already made themselves heard and felt on topics of importance to the Friends.

ALL STEEL PASSENGER CARS. Covering a comprehensive plan, for substitution of all steel for all wooden passenger coaches on the Pennsylvania, a report has been completed by a special committee to' which this important matter was entrusted. Within the next three years it is proposed to buy and construct 2,000 all-steel passenger cars. This marks a com
plete change in the existing standn
ards of passenger equipment, and entrance into an entirely new field and represents a tremendous cash outlay. This year, according to announce-
parties of foreigners have already
passed through Richmond for the cut, one going Thursday. WILL BE LOWER IN INDIANA. Sunday excursions will be continued and the old rates to popular excursion points will remain the same with the possible exception of those- in Indiana. Since the passage of the two cent laws Indiana rates will be lowered considerably. The excursion rates from Richmond to excursion points which will prevail during the coming summer over the Pennsylvania lines are: Cincinnati $1.43, Columbus $2.30, Springfield $1.33 and Dayton 85 cents. There has been some doubt all along whether the Pennsylvania would be a partner to any move providing for Sunday excursions, but the presence of general passenger agent Moody at the Indianapolis meeting which decided the question of running Sunday excursions, immediately set other officials at ease in regard to the matter. NEW DIVISION CREATED. At a recent meeting of the board of directors of the Pennsylvania railroad
company in raiiaaeipnia, announce
ment was made that the company has created a new division to be known as the Western Pennsylvania division. It will include the Pittsburg, West Penn. and Monongahela divisions and that part of the Allegheny valley division between Pittsburg and Kiski junction.
CHURCH STATISTICS " S00NJ0 BE TAK'EH Pastors Receive Requests From Washington.
WANT ACCURATE FIGURES.
Local pastors have received letters and cards from the census bureau of the department of commerce and labor at Washington, asking them to send the church census to that department that a complete United States church record may be made. The financial standing as well as the number of members, organizations and strength of each church are requested. A similar collection of statistics was made in 1S1X and these are required to be collected decennially under the supervision of the census bureau. A full and accurate census of religious bodies in the United States is desired and the census bureau has to rely
largely upon the ministers and clerks
to whom the letters have been sent to
complete it. In order to get the cards
filled properly the bureau has issued a list of set rules.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is Both Agreeable and Effective. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has no superior for coughs, 5olds and croup, and the fact that it is pleasant to take and contains nothing in any way injurious has made it a favorite with mothers. Mr. W. S. Pelham, a merchant of Kirksville, Iowa, says: "For more than twenty years Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been my leading remedy for all throat troubles. It is especially successful in cases of croup. Children like it and my customers who have used it will not take any other." For sale by A. G. Luken & Co.

China Famine Relief Association Is Not Able to Accomplish Much as Yet.
DIVIDED INTO DISTRICTS.
ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND SEV-ENTY-F1VE PEOPLE WILL BE NEEDED TO DO THE WORK IN RICHMOND.
Work of the China relief association, formed by the ministerial association some time ago, is practically at a stand still at the present time, as the committee in charge is waiting on material from the Christian Herald publishing company of New York. That company did not send sufficient tracts and other literature to acquaint the people of Wayne county with the actual conditions in the far eastern land, and until such is received or such arranged for Iocaly, the work cannot make rapid headway. Divided into Districts. The campaign in Richmond wiJI be divided into districts and one person will be placed in charge of the canvass in each of these. The townships of the county will carry on their work under the Supervision of one resident who will appoint a working committee. All work will be under the direction of the local committee, and only those who are thoroughly competent will be placed in charge of the various districts. The order for the subscription books has been placed with the Adam II. Bartel company. Each solicitor will receive one book or as many as he or she needs. A call has been issued to the various churches of the city to appoint representatives. At least one

a diseased condition of the feminine organs or kidneys, and that aches and pains will continue until the cause is removed. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs has been for many years the most successful remedy in such cases. No other medicine has 6uch a record of cures of feminine ills. Misa LenaKagel. of 117 Morgan St., Buffalo, N. T., writes: I wa completely worn out and on the verge of nervous prostration. My back ached all the time. I had dreadful periods of pain, was subject to fits of crying and extreme nervousness, and was always weak and tired. Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vegetable Compound completely cured me." Lydia E.
