STORY TOLD III AN ARRAY OF FIGURES

Value of Corporation Property In Indiana Has Been Greatly Increased.

WORK OF THE TAX BOARD.

REPORTS rJOW BEING COMPLETED BY THE STATE OFFICIALS TELL A TALE OF INCREASED VALUATIONS.

Indianapolis, Ind., June 10 A remarkable story in figures is told in the reports now being compiled by the clerks of the State Board of Tax Commissioners in Auditor of State Billheimer's office. The result is so amazing as to he almost beyond belief, but the records are plain and cannot be disputed. A recapitulation of the work of the board during the last six years shows that the increase in the valuation of corporation property in Indiana in that short period was $40,502.678 a record that has never been equaled in this commonwealth. At that, many of the corporations in fact, a majority have not complained of the board's action, but have asked for a square deal. The increase in the amount of taxes paid to the various counties by the railroads and other corporations as the result of the efforts of the last two Republican state administrations to bring the valuation of corporate property up to the point where it belongs, cannot be estimated accurately at his time by jour correspondent but it is very large and is calculated to relieve the burden of taxation on other property. The board will resume its sitting July 1-1, and will give the corporations ample opportunity to be heard again and to protest all they desire against the assessments that were fixed last month. What Comparison Shows. The greatest Increase in valuation ha3 been in the railroad properties. In 1902 the board fixed their valuation at $162,797,978; in 1903 at $164,835,091; in 1904 at $165,863,367; in 1903 at $169,372,213; in 190S at $183,670,-953;-In 1907 at $192,271,059. The total Increase in taxable valuation of railroad property from 1902 to 1907 (including this year) was $29,473,0S1. The increase this year over last was, $8,600,104, which is the highwater mark with the exception of last year. Members of the board in explaining the increase this year in' face of the agitation over the enactment of twocent fare laws and measures to correct the abuses of railroads, say that almost without exception the roads showed a great increase In earnings and that in fairness to the owners of real estate and other property the railroads had to be advanced.

No Favorites Played. The board had no favorites during j the recent session. In fact the record i of the board under the last three Re- j publican administrations is singularly j

free from blots. There have been no Insinuations that everything was not trlctly above board. Even the companies that have been Increased the most have not been able to find anything to show that the board was not acting always with the view of being fair to them and the state. The property of railroads. Interurlans, telephone, express, telegraph, sleeping-cars, pipeline and transportation companies is valued by the board annually. The total valuation of these properties by the board follows: 1907 $237,904,194 1906 224.377,446 1905 201.5S5.S95 1904 196.939,177 1903 189.090.339 1902 ISS.013,033 The totals in 1802 and 1903 do not Include the valuation of telephone properties: The Story of Increase. The recapitu'ation shows that the annual increase in the valuation oi corporation property during the last two Republican administrations follows :

The peace of Portugal and, maybe, of Europe, is threatened by internal troubles. A claimant has arisen for the present King's throne.

The board will give thirty days all cf August to hearings to fix the valuation of real estate. Most of the county and township assessors have completed their work. The tax board was very-careful in its instructions regarding the work of the assessors, as it will try to arrive at a just and tn equitable value of real estate.

In this" country today there are thousands of women whose days are filled with constant suffering. There is the dull headache, the dragging backache, the hot flushes, that awful tired feeling, too sick and faint to work, too well to go to bed. Men have little knowledge of the suffering their women go through day after day. Many times such illness is attributed

to biliousness or the after effect of a

cold when it is really a derangement of

the nervous system, caused by weakness or disease of the genital organs. It seems a shame that women should suffer so when there is a safe, harmless remedy that will restore to them the splendid health that makes perfect womanhood. Zoa-Phora dispels nervous disorders of women because it regulates the menses, and relieves them of pain. It is wonderfully effective in the cure of prolapsus because it strengthens the muscles supporting the parts, and renews the nerve force. It removes and prevents inflammation, congestion and unnatural discharge from the genital organs these diseases that sap the very life, destroy the tissues and finally shatter the nervous system. It is marvelous in its tonic effects and women who have been tired, listless, with headaches and backaches marring their every pleasure have in a single week been changed from suffering, morose, irritable beings to bright, happy, cheerful women who find pleasure in their household duties because they have a new and natural strength to perform them without fatigue, simply by use of the wonderful Zoa-Phora. soa-Phora has helped hundreds and thousands of women to health, slrength. and the joy of living. The

only way in which you may receive the i

same bencft is to do as they did. Go to your druggist and procure a dollar bottle of Zoa-Phora. Being used at

once according to plain directions j found in the nackasre. Tf anv further!

information or private advice is desired, the Zoa-Phora company. Kalamazoo. Mich., will gladly answer alt questious if you write them. Just ask the druggist for Zoa-Phora no other explanation need be given and you will receive the medicine already prepared, compounded in just the right proportions, and put up" in sealed, sterilized one dollar bottles. AViil you act now while the opportunity is before you?

CASH PLAN DISPLEASING, RAILROADS DO NOT LIKE TO PAY FOR ADVERTISING.

Have Adopted Various Methods to Keep Down the Amount of the Bill to the Newspapers.

Since the railroads have discontinued the issuing of all passes they have been, compelled to pay cash for their newspaper advertising. Quite naturally they have found that it is costly and have endeavored in every way to keep it down as much as possible. One of the ways they have employed to hold their advertising expenditures down has been to discontinue their time cards. The absence of time cards in the papers has been objected to by many patrons and in Ohio it is probable that at the next session of the legislature a bill will be introduced which will compel the railroads to publish their time cards in every newspaper along their routes. REDUCTION NOT LIKELY. It is highly probable, that although the western railroad officials have agreed to reduce the time of all through passenger trains, it will not be done. Carrying of the mails cuts a large figure with the western roads and some of the officials maintain that the speed war should continue so one road would not have any advantage over the other in order to secure the mail carrying contract. WILL BRING IT UP. W. W. Richardson, assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania, at Indianapolis, states that the Pennsylvania is rapidly making preparations to make the recently acquired property of the C. I. & E. between Muncie and Converse, part of the Pennsylvania system, not only in name, but in equipment and system. The passenger equipment is rapidly being brought up to the standard of the Pennsylvania. The cars and motive power will soon be of the regular Pennsylvania type. The roadbed will be overhauled and placed in first class condition. Mr. Richardson said he knew nothing definite of the talk to extend the road from Muncie to H age rs town and then make the branch a part of the main line for the Cincinnati-Chicago division. Notwithstanding Mr. Richardson's statement in regard to the matter, several local railroad men when approached upon the subject, stated

that they believed this move would be i

made by the Pennsylvania, as the road thus arranged would be the shortest in mileage and better in many ways for the traveling public and the company. Such a move on the part of the Pennsylvania will not surprise local men, as, it has been long contemplated by the Pennsylvania company. TEACHERS WIN FIGHT.

tion has won a signal victory against all the railroads of the east. This fact was signalized when notice was given by the Erie that it would accept the tender of the western roads and sell tickets for the association's convention in Los Angeles in such a way that the two-dollar membership fee could be collected. This notice was followed by the information that the New York Central lines were preparing to fall in line and would immediately ask the interstate commerce commission to authorize them to put in the desired rates and arrangements for the convention without giving the required thirty days' notice of a change in rates. The break in the eastern lines was led by the Grand Trunk, which gave a similar notice several weeks ago. The action of the eastern 'roads will have the effect of crowning the association convention with success, whereas formerly the event bid fair to be a frost. It will also bring thousands of dollars into the coffers of the organization, thereby enabling it to carry on its work. This convention was originally set for Philadelphia, but was changed to Los Angeles when the eastern roads refused to icollect a two-dollar membership fee from all who purchased tickets.

TO PREVENT SNOW SLIDES. Last winter the Pennsylvania was handicapped on certain mountain divisions of the road by continued snow slides, and now the officials of the road have asked the department of forestry to take up plans for planting snow fences on either side of these divisions as blockades for slides. A BILL IN EQUITY. The Pennsylvania railroad has filed a bill In equity against the County of Philadelphia asking the common pleas court to enjoin the defendant from demanding any "penalties for any violations of the Act of April 13, 1907, which provides that the two cent passenger rate shall go Into effect on Oct. 1 and is compulsory upon every company operating a railroad in the whole or in part in Pennsylvania. IMPORTANT MEETING. The most important meeting ever held by the Freight Claim Association will be that in Denver, June 19, at which time all the principal officers and members of the association are expected to be present. 'Its action will have more of national interest than ether meetings of the year. This branch of railway accounting is not yet having proper recognition relative to importance in railway affairs, and it is proposed to give it more opportunities and greater facilities for carrying out its function. OFFICIALS GO THROUGH. E. A. Ford, passenger traffic manager, and Col. S. Moody, general passenger ageut of the Pennsylvania lines who attended the meeting ' in St. Louis on Friday last, passed through the city Sunday morning on their retTjja bouie.-- -

Expressing the Baby.

Original. During the illness of Mrs. Dolittle, wife of Dan Dolittle, carpenter, her baby was in care of her sister in Rosefield, fifty miles away. At the mother's recovery, the father having a job in Roseficld and not wishing to spend the time himself on the journey back, it occurred to him to send the child home under care of the baggageman of the train, whom he knew well lie found a little chest that would dc

very veil for a traveling crib. His sis-; ter lined It with blankets, put a feather! pillow in the bottom and when all was j ready deposited the child. Dan put on j a tag as a precaution in case the con-j tents fell into other hands than the; baggageman, addressing the chest to j "Mrs. Daniel Dolittle, Birkville. This Side Up With Care. Glass." There was no prevarication in marking it glass. ! for the baby's bottle was there ready j for use. There were a fiat hook and a ) staple to hold the lid down when; closed, but it was not intended that the lid should be closed. Just before train ; time the father carried his baby to the station and turned it over to the bag-', gageman, who received It willingly, sel' it on. a trunk and put the nipple on j the bottle into the youngster's mouth. An hour later Dan Dolittle saw an ! "extra" announcing that a bridge had j broken under the train on which he : had sent his baby and let the first two! cars into the river. He ran to the sta- j tion and, getting on a relief train, went ; to the scene of the accident. The bag- j gage car was partly immersed, the bag- j gageman had been killed or drowned, : and there was no sign of the baby. j Dan worked all the afternoon mov-; Ing trunks and hunting for his child's body without avail. While he was at ; work his wife, who knew the baby ; was on the wrecked train, arrived, and : he was obliged to announce to her that ; the child had doubtless been thrown j out of the car door, which was open at , the time of the accident, and buried un-; der the car or heavy trunks at the bot-! torn of the river. The poor woman ' was hysterical. Dan begged her to go ' home, but she would not till she knew j something of the manner of her baby's j death. So he let her stay till the wreck had been removed, but as there were still no indications of what had

become of the child husband and wife went to their desolate home broken hearted. A month passed without any developments as to whether the baby had been crushed or drowned. This uncertainty

worked upon the mother's mind, and j there was no comfort for her. Had j her child died in its bed she would j doubtless have recovered from the shock in time. But she brooded over (

the poor little thing's horrible taking off till Dan began to fear that he would

have to send her to a sanitarium. One morning there was a heavy rattle of wagon wheels on the street before the door and a sharp ring at the bell. Mrs. Dolittle answered the call, and an express wagon driver handed her a book and a pencil to sign for a package. She signed wonderingly, and the man delivered an oblong box. On It was a tag with the address: "Mrs. Daniel Dolittle, Birkville. This Side Up With Care. Glass." Mrs. Dolittle unhooked the lid and opened it. "Mother of heaven!" she exclaimed and forthwith fainted. It happened that it was noon, and Dan was momentarily expected home from his work. How long it was after the receipt of the package before he arrived cannot be known, but it was probably very soon. There in the hall was his wife lying on the floor unconscious beside the identical chest in which he had placed her child before sending it homeward, and In it was that child, looking a3 ruddy as an autumn apple, pulling away on a bottle. If Dan hadn't been a man he would probably have fainted too. As it was, he rushed for water, sprinkled it in his wife's face and brought her to. By this time her senses were ready to receive the impression that her baby was alive and well. She snatched it from its traveling crib and hugged it to her breast, covering it with kisses. Then she put it back and covered Dan with kisses. Then she cried a little and laughed a little, never for a moment wondering how her child could come back to her in this strange manner. But Dan, spying a note in the chest, opened it and read it. It explained matters. A short distance, below the scene of the accident lived an ignorant, stupid German couple. Neither of them heard of the bridge breaking down, and if they had they would never have connected it with what followed. The German was coming across the river in his punt when he saw a floating box. The water was smooth, and the box sailed along right side up. The man took it in, pulled out the hook, raised the lid and saw a baby. It was unconscious, and he supposed It dead. Taking it to his hut on the bank, his ;wife gave it some warm milk, and it revived. The woman, who was childless, believe! the Lord had sent her the baby and would not give it up. She kept It a month, when her husband, discovering that it was costing him a good deal of milk and fearing they might get into trouble if they kept it, prevailed upon her to send It on according to the address on the tag. So he took it to an express offlce, where the clerk after pondering awhile whether to accept such fragile freight concluded to pass It on. especially as it would be delivered within a couple of hours. It is probable that at the time of the accident the lid closed the hook slipped into the staple, the box was thrown into the river and floated to the German. . GERTRUDE, GOWAN.

Why Don't VYoiTAsk For What You Want As long as you buy cigars in the old indifferent guess-work way of taking whatever is handed out to you just so long will you pay for frequent disappointments. Why don't you ask for what you want ? Don't guess which is the best cigar and don't let anyone guess for you. You caii be sure. The better kinds of cigars are all distinguishable by the "Triangle A" mark of merit on the box. "Triangle A" brands are unmistakably superior in all smoking qualities in aromatic fragrance, smooth, uniform blend and absolute cleanness to cigars made the old way and "Triangle A" brands are the only cigars made the new way. Y There are s many "Triangle A" brands of many different names, different blends, different shapes and different prices to suit different tastes. The "Triangle A" is a guarantee that covers them all it distinguishes the superior product of our new scientific manufacturing methods. No better proof of our claims could be offered than is: found in the wonderfully improved quality of . The New CREMO which represents the best quality that can be produced and sold for five cents it proves every claim we make for cigars sold under the "Triangle A." Every fcox is extra-wrapped in glassine paper, sealed to maintain perfect smoking: condition and cleanliness until the box is opened.

FAILURE TO OPEN THE CEDAR SPRINGS HOTEL

It Cuts Down Business of the Traction Company. .

NO PROSPECT THIS YEAR.

(New Paris, O., Mirror.) Almost daily there are inquiries con. cerning tho inactivity of Cedar Springs resort from those who havo formerly stopped there or who have heard from others of its old-tjme fame. There is general consternation among the questioners on learning that tho place has gone dead for this season. Several large trolley and auto parties have visited the place expecting to take lunches or lodging for short vacation trips and their disappointment has been very openly expressed. Local interurban men state that tho falling off in receipts tb New Paris has been large since the closing of Cedar Springs hotel. .Last year at this time a large number of local people were going to the springs daily. When asked whether or not he thought there is any likelihood of the Springs hotel opening this year, an official said no, but stated that there was a probability of Buch being the case next year as several companies, to his knowledge, are after the hotel to lease it.
