f MAKING RAPID PROGRESS. BLOCK SIGNAL SYSTEM WILL SOON BE COMPLETED. Little Work Remains to be Done Between the Cities of Richmond and Logansport. Rapid progress is being made on the completion of the block signal system north of Richmond on the local divis ion. ine signals nave been piacea at Curtisville, the first town north of 11 wood, and as there are offices at Windfall, Nevada and Hemlock, there re mains but one block to be placed at Center, a town near Kokonio, aud then the entire system from this city to Logansport will have been completed. The blocks between Kokomo and Logans port have been installed for some months. With the completion of the block at Center, the Richmond division will be better able to handle its many trains than ever before in Us history. The work on the Louisville division the only other division of the entire Pennsylvania system, which is next few weeks. Just when the work on the Richmond division will be comU,Ieted ls not knownhere. PAYING THE ADVANCE. All Richmond shippers of grain and grain products over the Pennsylvania are now paying the advance in grain rates authorized by the big corporation some time ago. The tariff books have been received at the local freight ofices for grains and grain products, and show that the rates to Richmond east are lased on 19V2 cents, domestic, from Chicago to Xew York, while 17 prevails for exports between the two points. A rate of 19 cents pervails for grain products except flour, while the export rate for flour is IS cents. Most of the stuff shipped out of Richmond, which would fall under these rates is grain products, as not. much grain proper is shipped from this point. RECEIVE FARE SHEETS. The local Pennsylvania ticket offices have received the Indiana fare sheets, from the tariff department in Pittsburg, giving the passenger lares to all town3 in Indiana, both on the Pennsylvania lines aud connections. The two-cent rate law, caused considerable worry to local ticket agents for a time, owing to the fact that they had to figure the fares to points on the divisions centering here while tickets on other divisions of the Pennsylvania aud connecting lines could not be sold in this city, till the tariff sheets arrived. PASSENGER ASSOCIATION. The Central Passenger association Is meeting in Chicaeo and it is understood that several matters of importance pertaining to the passenger business in the Central states will be brought up. The new two-cent rate i laws will receive their share of at-! tention. BRADFORD IS MOVING. W. A. Bradford Jr.. president of the C. C. & L. and the Wisconsin Central is in C incmnati making arrangements to move the C. C. & L. general offices from that city to Chicago. IN EXCESS OF SUPPLY. The daily requirement of the Pennsylvania railroad for box cars is about 1.000 in excess of the supply, it is stated that the eastern shipments of freight through this city have diminished slightly while the western shipments are extremely heavy. TICKETS TO JAMESTOWN. Already several Jamestown tickets have been sold at the local Pennsylvania ticket offices for the great fair, and the inquiries have been numerous. The early demand for tickets, in the face of the discouraging reports which have been circulated by congressmen, who thought they should ! have been honored above President j Roosevelt on the opening day, indi caies that there will be an unusual travel to the fair during the summer months, and particularly so out of this city. It i.4 said that several hundred Jamestowa tickets will undoubtedly be sold from Richmond owing to the fact that there arc so many different

' routes offered by the Pennsylvania to

the big fair. The favorite route t date has been the trip via New York and Washington and this route is expected to be the most popular during the remainder of the exposition. SECOND EXCURSION. The Pennsylvania will run its second excursion from this city to Cincinnati, next Sunday, the train leaving the local station at 7:30 o'clock and returning from the Queen City at 7:05. PLACE FOR SNAVELY. Hubert Snavely has accepted a position at the local Pennsylvania offices as messenger, vice Kenneth Highly, who left the service last week. INSTRUCTED BY McCABE. Richmond Division Freight Agent Guy McCabe, was visiting the various freight agents on the Chicago and Indiana and Eastern railway Monday, instructing them to talte up all freight subjects for the service of that road, with the Richmond offices. There are twelve freight stations on the C. I. & E. and all questions which arise at these will be handled by local Pennsylvania freight officials. The freight business out of Muncie over this road will be pushed hereafter, and the Pennsylvania can now make a strong bid for eastern freight traffic. OHLIGER IN THE CITY. Superintendent L. Ohliger, of the Indianapolis division, with headquarters in Columbus, O., was in the city Monday conferring with local Pennsylvania officials. He came in on his private car. Ordinary sheep dip is now being extensively used for the destruction of locusts in South Africa. English veterinary surgeons have discovered a new disease in dogs motor heart. It appears that dogs are very fond of .riding in motor cars, but that their hearts can't stand it. So their owners must curb this appetite or expect early bereavement. Mission work among the British North sea fishermen has its difficulties. The rector of Lowestoft says that when he first boarded a fishing smack five of the men rushed down into the cabin two jumped into the funnel and another sprang overboard. The London Building Journal hears that two distinguished architects, noted for their forceful language, are about to issue a book on the "BrickLayers' English," with an appendix of special words by an American building superintendent. CHATTANOOGA WOMAN Has Reason to Take Coffee Out of Her , Family. "After drinking coffee some years I became badly run down in health had sserious indigestion, flatulency, and nervousness, with severe spells of sick headache. "My physician advised me long asro to stop drinking coffee, but I said it would be an impossibility, that would rather do without my break fast and have my cup of coffee 'About six months ago I tried Pos turn Food Coffee and made it strict Jy according to directions.
