INCREASE IS REASONABLE. Only a short time ago the salaries of the city policemen were raised from $60 a month to .$70. The- firemen have also asked for a raise in salaries and are having rather tough luck, as the board of works has put its foot down on any further increases. There are twenty-one firemen on the local force and the individual salary Is $00 a month. If the policemen were entitled to a raise the same is certainly true of the firemen. The policemen work in shifts; a day force and a night force. Firemen are on duty all day and all night. The same firemen that fight a Lad blaze in the daytime are the same ones that will fight a similar one at night if need be. We look to the policemen to protect us and make our city a safe place to live in. We lookto the firemen to protect our home3 and our factories, both absolutely necessary to our existence. Richmond owes as much to its firemen as it does to its policemen and as the latter have been granted a raise of 1 en dollars a month, it is "no more than just vLat the firemen be treated with the tame consideration. Such a raise for the firemen would only entail an additional expenditure each year of $2,400, and a city as wealthy as Richmond can surely afford that additional outlay.

GRY OF DISTRESS IS SET UP By THE

RAILROAD LIIIES One Could Easily beneve From Statement Before the State Tax Board That All Are on The Verge of Bankruptcy.' HARD-LUCK STORIES THE GENERAL RULE. Both the Steam Roads and the Traction Companies Join in Request to Taxing Power For Leniency This Year. Indianapolis, May 2. Hearing the pleas of railroad and traction magnates for no change in their assessments, the visitor at the meetings of the state board of tax commissioners might well Imagine that every transportation company in Indiana is on the verse of bankruptcy. Hard luck stories are as prolific as berries in June. The tales of the owners and managers would indicate that the transportation companies were big eleemosynary institutions operated at great loss for the benefit of the dear public to whose service the institutions are dedicated. Lose Money Yearly. Railroad man after railroad man and traction owner after traction owner has told the commissioners that money is .being iost yearly, tnat prospects were never worse, that rates have been cut while the cost I of materials and labor has gradually I advanced, that ruin threatens and will j come bringing with it a general suspension of industry and stagnation of business unless something is done. They complain of state legislation and federal control and point to the scarcity of money, the up-set condition of tbo market and the prevalent anti-cor-j poration sentiment to" back up their claims that assessments should not be j increased if the railroads are to live j and prosper and continue to serve the 'public. Earnincc Are Decreasing. All the railrond men declare that earnings are decreasing and that under the lestrictions, now placed by statute, the roads can not make as much money as they did under former conditions. These circumstances, they say, should be taken into consider ation by the board In arriving at a valuation of the railroad properties. F. B. Carpenter, of Cleveland, tax agent for the Nickle Plate related an unusual experience. He said that in spite of the reduction of fares to two cents a mile in Ohio last year his road carried 331,000 fewer passengers than in the previous year when the rate of fare was three cents a mile. He declared that in 1905 the Nickle Plate carried 1,010,000 passengers in Ohio and last year 778,000, and expressed the opinion that the decrease in the number of passengers was due to the two-cent fare law, although he could not explain how pasenger traffic was affected by the act. S. O. Pickens, E. H. Barnes and O. T. Bolt asked that the assessments against the Grand Rapids & Indiana and the Cincinnati,- Richmond & Ft. Wayne be reduced. Mr. Bolt said that during the first sixteen days following th taking effect of the new 2-cent fare law, the Cincinnati. Richmond & Ft. Wayne hauled 706 fewer passengers than during the corresponding period last year and that its earnings decreased $1,993.49.

That the business of the present fiscal year will eclipse that of any past year in the history of the office of the secretary of state is shown iu quartirly settlement made by Fred Sims, secretary of state, with the auditor of state. Mr. Sims paid over a total of $116,004.35 ia collections made by his office during the months of February, March and April. This is the largest three months' settlement ever made by the office and was over twice as large a settlement as that of the preceding three months. The heavy lncifjase in business Is due to many large fees paid into the office by " domestic corporations. In the Neuchatel courts the speeches of lawyers will in the future be limited to ten minutes, five minutes beins allowed for cross-examinations. An official time keeper will see that the regulation Is observed. In Tooting, a London suburb are two villas side by side. One is named "Iodine" and the other "Arnica."

FLYERS RUN-ON SCHEDULE. TRAINS FROM NEW YORK TO ST. LOUIS ARE SELDOM LATE. This Fact is Well Known and it is Sufficient to Guarantee Liberal " Patronage. The promptness with which the Pennsylvania flyers from New York to St. Louis, passing through this city, made their running schedules during the month of April is noteworthy. Reports from both terminals show that the trains have entered those stations cn the dot each and every day, while the same has been true in Richmond. Owing to the absolute reliability of the trains in making their schedule, they are largely patronized. AGAINST MILEAGE BOOKS. The Western Passenger association has ruled that after May 1, interchangeable mileage books will not be honored in the western states where two cent rate laws have been passed by recent legislatures. The railroads in these states are watching "the cor ners closer, owing to the two-cent law, than those of the central states. NO REDUCED RATE. In Iowa where a two-cent bill was passed by the recent legislature, the railroads have notified the state that they will not carry state convicts and insane persons tor reduced rates as heretofore. STEEL RAILS DEFECTIVE. Steel rail makers in Pittsburg dis trict are said to be very indignant, ov er the report of the American Railway association, and the statements made that many of the accidents during the past winter were due to defective rails, Is bitterly resented Members of the association say the report is absolutely true that steel rails are be low par. FALLS ON INITIAL LINE. The Interstate commerce commission has ruled through Commissioner Harlan, that the initial railroad line must bear the burden of any mistake in quoting tariff or selling a ticket. Where mistakes occur, although they be honest ones, it is held unlawful for any of the connecting lines to join in sustaining the losses that may occur. WILL BE NO ADVANCE. The Central Passenger association of which the Pennsylvania railroad Is a member, has decided to make no THE NEW BANK AT WILLIAMSBURG OPENS Important Event in the Little Town's History.

"A physician's wife gave me a package of Grape-Nuts one day, with the remark that she was sure I would find the food very beneficial, both for my own use and for my patients. I was particularly attracted to the food, as at that time the weather was very hot and I appreciated the fact that Grape-Nuts requires no cooking. "The food was deliciously crisp, and most inviting to tha appetite. After making use of it twice a day for three or four weeks, I discovered that it was a most wonderful invigorator. I used to suffer greatly from exhaustion, headaches and depresssion of spirits. My work had been very trying at times and indigestion had set in. "Now I am always well and ready for any amount of work, have an abundance of active energy, cheerfulness and mental poise. I have proved to my entire satisfaction that this change has been brought about by Grape-Nuts food. "The fact that it is predigested is a very desirable feature. I have had many remarkable results in feeding Grape-Nuts to my patients, and I cannot speak too highly of the food. My friends constantly comment on the change In my appearance. I Lav gained 9 pounds since . beginning the use of this food." "There's a Reason. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkss-

Warner traveling passenger and freight agent for the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad, v-ith headquarters in Chicago, was in the city calling on local passenger men and prospective travelers. Mr. Warner reports that the heavy floods in the region through which his road passes have subsided and the road Is suffering no ill effects. BURLINGTON WITHDRAWS. Notice has been given by the Burlington railroad, of its withdrawal from the Chicago Car Service association, which for years has assessed and collected fines against the shippers for detention of freight cars.

FRANK CROMER INJURED. Frank Cromer an employe in the shops and known in this city by C. C. & L. railroad men, had his arm caught in a machine and badly lacerated. , CHANGE IN AGENTS. O. N.

C. & L. schedule win hA chiinsred in the near future, and will be so arranged that at least an other train will be placed in service during the day. Just when the C. C. & L. officials will change the present schedule is not known. PLACE OF AMUSEMENT. There is a report current at Rome City that the G. R. & I. railroad, has been approached by two different en tertainment companies with the pro position of leasing the island, where the yearly assembly is held. It is said that one of the companies has nfffirpd $2,000 for the privilege of leasing and the other $5,000. The merchants of Rome City place credence in the report and are expressing hope that the deal will come to a successful termination. They believe that making the resort a place of amusement instead of a place of instruction, would draw larger crowds and from greater distance. The" Island Park assembly management has already dropped active preparations for this year's program, as it stated that since the G. R. & I. would not grant excursion rates to the assembly, it would not pay. BOARD OF WORKS HAS MUCH ROUTINE Three Contracts Let for provement Work. ImRESOLUTIONS CONFIRMED.

Understood From Traction Of ficial That the Traction Company Will Yield. LATEST AS TO FREIGHT. BELIEVED THAT DESIRE TO PRO VIDE A THROUGH SERVICE FOR FREIGHT FIGURING IN THE SIT UATION. It is understood from a traction offl cial that within a short time the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern traction company will accept the terms of the city of Richmond regarding the oper ating of freight cars through the city Not a word from President Hugh Mo Gowan, of the company, or his associ ates, has been heard by the city off! cials in regard to the freight question since last March, when a representa tive of the company positively stated that freight cars would not be run along the route stipulated by a city or dinance. ine company now realizes that it has everything to lose and nothing to gain in holding out against the city, so a word stating that the company has agreed to accept the terms offered by the city, will not be received in the nature of a surprise. Through Freight Service. r .. ine company pians .to operate a through freight service between the two terminal points of its line In the immediate future and it realizes that to build a freight line which would avoid Richmond would be too expensive a project. For this reason, it 5s stated, the company has decided to ac cept the terms of the city and run lis freight cars on North Twenty-third street. It is probable that the work of completing this line will be finished by early fall. In the meantime, if the company shows good faith in build ing the line, the ordinance prohibiting the operation of freight cars on Main street, will be suspended until the company can operate its freight cars over the north end route. The news that the company Intend, to accept the terms of the city will b3 gladly received by local shippers who have been put to great inconvenience and some financial loss in standing back of council and the administration in their fight against the traction In terests. It is understood that the com pany still holds an option on the property formerly used as the Strattan wagon repair shop, Ft. Wayne avenue, and that a freight station will be built there.
