RAILROAD NEWS.

SPECULATE ON CONGESTION RAILROAD OFFICIALS WONDER WHAT SITUATION WILL BE. It Is Hoped by Good Management to Escape Anything More Serious Than a Rush. Shippers as well as railroad officials are now wondering whether or not the railroads will be afflicted this year as they were last, when a heavy freight congestion greatly handicapped both. October and November are the two big months of the year for the railroads and It la only by increased equipment and Rood management that the roads can hope to keep up with the Immense freight traffic. It Is understood that the operating officials hope to handle the increase as expediously as eTrr during October and November. Their expectation Is that there will be only a temporary congestion at different centers. The situation will, it is anticipated, resemble that In the retail trade at the holiday Beason, showing an unusual strain with some inconvenience for a period and a comparatively quick adjustment o the normal. MORE ENGINES BOUGHT. General Superintendent Dalton of the C, C. & L. in passing through Richmond on his way to Cincinnati, made the statement that although a number of new engines were purchased by the road this year, it has not enough to meet the increased heavy freight and passenger business. On account of the extraordinarily heavy business being encountered by "the straight line," ten more engines have been purchased from the Baldwin Locomotive works at Philadelphia, five of which will be delivered in December and five in April. Mr. Dalton also made the assertion that the road now has the big sink holes in the vicinity of Fulton pretty well conquered, having deposited about 2.000 yards of cinders during the present season. TEMPORARY RELAPSE. Railroad passenger business is now suffering a relapse after a spirited and brisk summer season. "You see," said a local ticket agent, "the public has stopped traveling now. Many people are just returning from their summer vacations and naturally" do not leave town right away. This accounts for the temporary lull in ticket tales." WAR UPON THE TRAMP. The Pennsylvania has set a good example for other lines to following in beginning a war upon the tramp. Much useless senMmentalism has been .wasted on tramps. At the best they have no moral principle, and at the worst tliey are dangerous criminals. The annual less to railroads from vagrancy is estimated at $25,000,000. Tramps wreck trains, tamper with signals and damage equipment, constituting a danger to the traveling public. Rido stealing is said to be the backbone of vagrancy. The Pennsylvania is asking cooperaion in the effort to ron it. RECORD FOR AUGUST. The Indiana Car Service association in August handled on the lines 10S,363 car loads of freight, with an average detention of but 1 63-100 days, being the largest month's business the association has ever had in its fourteen years of operation. "When the association first began opperation the shippers were not disposed to look upon it with favor, but most of them now are pleased with its operation and have no desire to go back to the old method of handling traffic. Those in charge of the bureau say that matters are now moving very smoothly, there being no friction between shippers and the roads as to the operation of the bureau. WEEK'S LARGE GAIN. Shipments of leading commodities, eastbound. by the railroads for the week ending Sept. 14 showed the largest gain of any week in the history of the roads. The Improvement, eastbound, is something of a surprise and west-bound the traffic continues heavy beyond parallel. "FINE EDGE" COLT WINS. Took a Prize at Cambridge City Against all Ages. Milton, Ind., Sept. 20. I. I Manlove w-on second premium on his "Fine Edge" colt at Cambridge City Wednesday. The colt, which is only three months old, showed against all ages. CONFERENCE YEAR CLOSES. . Brownsville, Ind., Sept. 20. Rev. J. W. Cordrey will hold his last service for this conference year next Sunday evening.

Indianapolis, Sept. 20. Representative James E. Watson's first important speech after his entry into the gubernatorial race will be a reply to Senator Tillman of South Carolina, and it will deal with the negro prob

lem. Some time ago Senator Tillman delivered a Chautauqua address at Anderson, Ind., in which he gave utterance to some rabid anti-negro sentiments. His address was bitterly resented by the colored people of Madi son and surrounding counties, and they decided that Watson is the man who can take off TIP man's hide, figuratively speaking, and hang it on the back fence to dry. They extended an invitation to Watson, which he accepted and next Sunday afternoon he will answer Tillman. It is expected that negroes from all over Indiana will go to Eaton on that day, as the congressman's address, it is understood, will be Interesting and to the point. It is likely to create much comment among the colored people. On Sunday morning Mr. Watson will deliver an address to the Sunday school of the Central Avenue M. E. church of this city. Adair for Congress. John A. M. Adair of Portland has dropped out of the race for the Democratic nomination for gevernor and will run for- congress in the Eighth district. Thayer Mentioned. Many Sixth district republicans are speaking kindly of Col; E. P. Thayer of Greenfield in connection with the congressional nomination. It is said he would run if he had not given his promise to Will A. Hough that he would support the latter.. Moore Noncommittal. Sixth District politics is beginning to sizzle as a result of Congressman Watson's prospective retirement from congress. Senator E. E. Moore of Connersville, who wa3 here yesterday, said: "I do not feel ready at this time to make any announcements as to whether I shall or shall not be a candidate for congress. I am getting very encouraging letters from over the district." . Next From Henry. Charles Christopher, republican chairman of Henry county, also was here. The next congressman he thinks, will hail from Henry county, which never has had the distinction of furnishing a member of the national lawmaking body, although it has consistently rolled up big republican majorities. "Jim Watson," said he, "will have a solid Henry county delegation for the governorship and he will get it hands down. Are Seven Candidates. Joseph Reilly, secretary of the democratic state committee, who is keeping tab on the democratic aspirants for governor, made two fresh chalk marks yesterday. These marks stand for two new gubernatorial possibilities Mont Hathaway of Winomac, former member of the democratic state committee, and J. W. Boehne mayor of Evansville. "There are now seven candidates for the democratic nomination for governor." said Mr. Reilly. "They are Samuel Ralston of Lebanon, L. Ert Slack of Franklin, Tom Marshall of Columbia City, Mont Hathaway of Winamac, Richard K. Erwin of Decatur, Mayor Boehne of Evansville and Daniel W. Simms of I.afayette." ENTERTAINED THEIR CHILDREN. Centerville, Ind., Sept. 20. Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Lammott of Centerville, entertained their children and grand children at Glen Miller, Sunday. All were present except two, a daughter, minnie and son Morgfn and family, who were detained by visitors. A sumptuous dinner was served at noon and all had a pleasant time.

If there be man, woman or child who has trouble with digestion, let him or her adopt the following menu and depend upon relief. A little fruit. Saucer of Grape-Nuts with cream. A soft boiled egg. Slice of hard, crisp toast. Cup of Postum Food Coffee (be sure to boil it 15 minutes and it's delicious). Let these articles constitute the breakfast, a luncheon or supper, and nothing more. In a few days the old world will turn around your way and life seem worth living. Try it. "There's a reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.,

The bulletin of the state board of health just Issued says: The health of the state for August appears not to be so good as in the corresponding month last year. Typhoid fever shows a decided increase. It is reported as the first in order of prevalence, with diarhoea second and rheumatism third. In

the corresponding month last year diar rhoeal dlesases were reported as the most prevalent malady, with cholera morbus second and typhoid fever third. For this August the number of typhoid deaths is 131, last August 03. The di arrhoeal deaths are for this August 342 and for last August 450. The state board of health is somewhat disappointed that its free distribution of circulars and Information given to the people telling how to avoid typhoid and dlarrhoeal diseases has not borne better fruit. It may be that many are unable to learn by precept and can only learn through harsh experience, for we find our circulars and instructions for the prevention of diseases receive scant attention by most people only when they are smitten. Diphtheria Prevalent. Diphtheria has prevailed unusually as shown by the reports. The deaths from this disease in August numbered 17 and in the corresponding month last year, 11. lnis is an increase or. over " per cent, and the cases show an Increase of over ( per cent. As we have in diphtheria antitoxin a sovereign and sure cure and preventive of diphtheria, we should have no epidemics and almost no deaths from this dis ease, it is expected mat sepiemDer will make a worse showing than Au gust, because the children will be drawn together in the schools. At Fair Oaks, Jasper county, diphtheria was discovered among a religious sect which does not tolerate physicians or drugs and which does not believe in communicability of diseases. This condition has caused me health offi cers considerable trounie in trying to protect the community. The total number of deaths in Aug ust was 3.300, rate 14.S. In the same month last year 3.000, rate 13.3. The cities report l,o47 death, rate 17.fi. The country reports 1,843 deaths, rate 13.0. The city rate is 2.8 higher than the average for the whole state and is 4.6 higher than the country rate. Consumption Kept Busy. Consumption did its usual damage, causing 337 deaths against 351 in the corresponding month last year. Cancer, which at one time produced the same destruction as typhoid fever, has now gone ahead or rather typhoid fever has decreased in the comparison. The cancer deaths numbered 147. In the corresponding month last year, 123. Violence caused ISfi deaths, against 104 in the preceding August. The death rates in cities having over 23,000 population were as follows: Indianapolis, 18.2; Evansvlile, 13; Ft. Wayne, 13: Terre Haute, 22.7; Anderson, 13:2; Muncie, 15.0; South end, 22.fi. One death from hydrophobia was reported from Johnson county. A young man, Alonzo Connor, age 23 years. Smallpox prevailed in mild form in several localities, but no deaths were reported. HOME-GROWN PEACHES $2.75 BUS Columbus, Ind., Sept. 20 New home-grown peaches are on the local market and are selling at from $2.50 to $2.75 a bushel. The quality is not nearly as good as usual and the crop is short. WILLIAM LEVISTON DEAD. Brownsville, Ind., Sept. 20. Wil Ham Leviston died at his home near this place. He was an aged and re spected citizen and leaves a wife, son and daughter. CLERKS VISIT THE CITY. All the clerks from the Phil Joseph department store at Connersville, spent Wednesday in Richmond. During the elections in Ireland in a bygone year Colonel James F. Robertson was quartered at Ennis. A riot was expected, and he was requested by a town magistrate to remain under arms in case of trouble. It was a very still summer evening, and a lieutenant of the company was amusing himself at his harmonluxr atKl was singing In a good voice. Just as he finished one of his songs by that time it was well into the nighta thundering knock came on the outer gates. "Who comes there?" shouted the sentry at the top of his voice, and every man in barracks Jumped up and seized Lis arms. In a moment there was dead silence, the men eagerly listening to know what was to follow. "Who comes there?" again the sentry shouted. And a small voice outside the gate replied. "If ye plaze. Misther Slntry, will ye sk th" gintleman to sing that once again?" "The indignant sentry's reply," says Colonel Robertson In his reminiscences of soldiering, "was drowned in the shouts of merriment from nxv man."

A CONDITION THAT CALLS FORA TONIC When Run Down and Debilitated Try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a Tonic That Is Also a Specific for Many Disorders of the Blood and Nerves. When the health is run down from jverwork, overstudy, or from whatever cause, a good tonic is needed. But sometimes what is mistaken for simple debility is a symptom of a more serious disorder, ana?mia- perhaps, or a breaking down of the nervous system. By taking a tonic that is also a specific for many disorders of the blood and nerves the threatening disease may bo prevented. Tliat is wliat was done in the case of Mrs. Ora Ford of 1008 Washington Boulevard, Chicago, 111., who was undoubtedly in the early stages of anaemia before Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured her. She savs : "I was completely run down in health for about a rear. My blood was thin and poor and I had a great deal of trouble with my stomach and kidneys. My appetite was poor and I liad no desire for food. Wliat I ate distressed me. I had always been troubled with sick headaches which came on as often as three or four times a week. I also had dizzy spells, my breath was short and I frequently had pains in my side. I had no ambition or desire to do anything. I became so pale and thin that I looked terrible. My friends thought I was going into consumption. "After I had tried several kinds of medicine that did me no good whatever I read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a newspaper and decided to give them a trial. I began picking np a litt-e after taking about two boxes of the pills and noticed that I was getting an appetite. I gradually got stronger, the dizzy spells left and my color came back. The headaches ceased to be so frequent or so severe. I can recommend Dr. Williams Pink Pills for troubles due to Door and impure Wood." Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold bv all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box ; six boxes for $2.50, oy the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

MASONS ARE MADE VICTIM OP SMALL FRAUD Indiana Members Get Endless Chain Letters. not for Mckinley fund. Letters of the endless chain variety. 1 originating at Canton, O., and solicit- . - ... .. . m limns sunnnserl v rnr trio McK n pi Monument Fund, have been received by many Indiana Masons asking for 2 cents and requesting that "the chain" be kept Intact by each person writing to at least three friends and that each one of these three friends in turn write to three more. The 2-cent contribution, with 2 cents postage and 6 cents postage to the "three friends," totals 10 cents, but it is said that many dimes, aggregating many dollars were sent by unsuspecting Masons before the fraud was detected. The originator of the series of letters is supposed to be a man giving the name of "W. R. Day, Esq., Canton, O." In some way this man's name became confused with that of Judge Day of the Supreme Court, who is at the head of the McKinley monument movement, and In this way the fraud was detected. High Praise. A story told by John Ross DIx la his "Pulpit Portraits" shows how strong a current of life ran in the veins of Dr. Lyman Beecher when he had passed the allotted threescore years and ten. When about seventy-five years of age, he spent a fortnight in the eastern part of Maine. A party of gentlemen at Calais went with bim some thirty miles up a series of lakes to Indian territories. When about to embark upon a chain of lakes in the birch canoes, the In dian guide. Etienne. rather objected to so old a man attempting the adventure, fearing that he would give out. The doctor paddled with the best of the youngsters; caught more trout than all the party together and re turned each day from the various tramps in the lead; ate his fish on a rock, with a sea biscuit for a trencher and fingers for knives and forks; Flcpl on the ground upon hemlock branches under the tent, and at length the Indian guide' wont from the extreme of depreciation to the bJgbest expression of admiration in his iower. saying: "At, o!J r--n 1 The first American Rhodes scholar to finish his course at Oxford has got back to California and made his report.

Smith. "No law affecting the sale ai distribution of school books pasa since the establishment of state ui formlty has adjusted itself so east and readily to tho wants of the peoj as has this law. This may be I counted for on the ground that t state has gone back to business met ods in handling its school books.
