MAY WORK WITH THE C. & 0. REPORT THAT C, C. & L. ROAD HAS A NEW DEAL ON. it Would Give An Outlet From Chicago to the Atlantic Seaboard. In line with the policy of service improvement adopted by the C, C. & L, officials some time ago, a rumor has gained wide circulation along the line of the C, C. & L. that the road will soon become affiliated with the Chesapeake and Ohio, and a straight through seaboard air line wilt be made between the eastern coast and Chicago. It is asserted that this arrangement will be completed ready for the inaugural service January, 1, 1908. In addition to the line being a short one from the eastern coast to Chicago, better train service could be inaugurated. The proposition has long been discussed, It is asserted by C, C. & L. officials, but nothing tangible has resulted until recently. Officials of both the Chesapeake and Ohio and the C, C. & L. are in favor of the seaboard line, it Is said locally. The affiliation of the C, C. & L. witn the Chesapeake and Ohio, would mean much to the local road. ADOPT TWO-CENT FARE. ' "ollowing the official announcement that the Baltimore & , Ohio and the Pennsylvania railroads will place the new two-cent-a-mile passenger rate in effect October. 1, it was announced yesterday t.at the Pittsburg & Lake Erie, the Pennsylvania lines, the Wabash, and, in fact, all roads operating nithln the state, will take similar action. It was admitted yesterday that this action is the result of the meeting held last week in New York, by high officials of the various lines. It is also announced that " the rate clerks are now at work on the new interstate rates that will become effective in case the supreme court upholds the new two-cent fare law. These rates, however, will not become effective October 1, as the rate sheets will not be compiled by that time and the railroads are allowed a certain time in which to arrange these fares. All of the roads announce that there will be no change, In the commutation , rates for the present. Just what changes will be made in the commutation rates in case the J IT"-. A K. SI K.

""""CROWD TO CHICAGO. One of the largest crowds that has yet patronized any Pennsylvania Chicago excursion i3 expected to leave Richmond Saturday night for the "windy city." These excursions this year have been more largely patronized than any of the others run out of Richmond. - ONLY THE BEGINNING. Although a great deal of work, looking toward the betterment of the roadway was done this year on the C, C. & L, it Is said that it is only the beginning of a more modern roadway Improvement policy which is to be real ized next year. The report spread ; last spring that the C, C. & L. would during the summer just closing straighten many of the lesser curves along the line and in other ways remedy the roadway and roadbed. None of the curves have been eliminated but the roadbed is in better condition now than ever in the history of the road. It is freely predicted that next year many of the curves which have been so bothersome to train operators and the service in general will be eliminated. SICK LIST INCREASES. With the beginning of the cooler and changeable weather the sick list the enclrupers and firemen running out of Richmond on the Pennsylvania railroad increases. There are a number of firemen and engineers whose disabilities are keeping them from service now. BUSINESS IS INCREASING. The live stock freight business from Indianapolis to the east over the Pennsylvania, through this city, is increasing rapidly and past records threaten to be shattered. Each day several freight trains pass through Richmond for the east, which carry a large number of cars of fancy live stock. . SIGNALS NEARLY COMPLETED. Tho low pnTPrinf the Installation of block signals on steam railways says ' that all lines must be thus equipped by March 1. 190S. The Pennsylvania will go the law "one better" and have its lines west of Pittsburg equipped with hlock sienals br January 1.

PLEHTY FOR SUNDAY DINNEMOT NEW Saturday Marketers Will Find Just About What They Have Been Buying. FRUIT IS QUITE SCARCE. BUTTER AND EGG PRICES RANGE QUITE HIGH FOR THIS SEASON OF THE YEAR CHOICE SPRING CHICKENS. Local retail provision markets are featurless at the present time, owing to the fact that there is nothing new on the markets and they are remaining practically uniform. The question of the Sunday dinner Is easily solved, as sweet potatoes, chickens, celery and all these things which go to make up delicate dishes are on the market at the present time. People of Richmond however will have to buy about the same things that they have been buying for some time. As a general rule, rruits of all kinds are scarce; peaches probably more so than any other. Good peaches are selling at $2 and $2.50 per bushel. But few people have had the temerity to ask for enough peaches to can. Potatoes are plentiful and the prices are descending. Good "spuds" are now selling for ninety cents per bushel and the quantity is not limited. Good new potatoes are now being dug by the farmers, and sold in Richmond not only through the retail stores but by the farmers themselves directly off their wagons. Apples are becoming more plentiful, owing to the opening up of the fall season. Many of the apples now being sold are not of knotty, knarly varieties, but are first class smooth fruit. They are selling readily at $2 and $2.50 per bushel. Watermelons and nutmeg melons are also plentiful, even though the season is advanced. Oranges are very scarce. The grocerymen are claiming that they are worth sixty cents per dozen, and lovers of this fruit are having to pay the price before they can partake. The orange situation will grow better as the holiday season approaches. California plums are selling freely at fifteen cents per quart. The quality Is fine and in the absence of home grown fruit of this character they are quickly sold. The egg plant market is long, there being more egg plants than the grocerymen know exactly what to do with. They are selling for ten, fifteen and twenty cents each. Butter Prices High. One of the more noticeable features of the local provision market is the high price of country butter and eggs. Eggs are now retailing at twenty-five cents per dozen. They are very scarce it is asserted and the condition will grow worse from now on until next spring. It fs almost impossible for local merchants to secure good coun try butter. The farmers are not only selling their cream to the creameries over' the county but many of them are buying creamery butter. Such a condition does not speak well for the supply in Richmond during the com ing winter. A local merchant says that where he generally received one hundred pounds of good counter butter each week, he now receives about twenty-five. The retail price is twenty-five cents per pound. Corn, beans and sweet potatoes are plentiful, It Is said, just now. The season for these Is rapidly nearing its end however. Choice spring chickens, dressed, are retailing for 40, 43 and 30 cents per head. They are choice and sell well. Ducks and turkeys will soon find their way onto the local matkets. NEW SCHOOL LAW IS GOOD. Attorney-General Passes on Statute Governing Salaries. The Attorney-General has given to State Superintendent Cotton an opinion to the effect that the new minimum wage law passed by the 1907 General Assembly is constitutional. WILL HOLD PIE MARKET. , Hagerstown, Ind., SepL 27. The Presbyterian Aid society will hold a pie market Saturday, September 2S, in the vacant room west of Roe WI Elmer's tombstone shop.

"WHAT WITCH?" A Husband's Question. When a man, from drinking coffee, gets to such a condition that he cannot eat breakfast without throwing It up, It seems time to quit, but there are thousands of people who do not understant that when an article of food or drink produces such conditions as these, it should be absolutely left off. A little woman out in Mont, writes that she and her husband knew enough to quit coffee when it had rapped them hard. She says: "My husband was so badly affected that he ate no breakfast for three or four years, lie woum oiten iry 10 arms a few sips of coffee and invariably threw it up. When Postum Food Coffee was brought to my attention I tried it without having any faith in it, but when I found what a delicious beverage it was when prepared according to directions, and from trying It on myself found there were no bad effects, I induced husband to take a cup without telling him what It was. He objected at first, saying that he would be sure to throw it up, but when I Insisted upon his trying It, it agreed with him. "Morning after morning I gave him Postum without telling him that it was any different from ordinary coffee. His stomach quickly recovered and he began to' eat breakfast. He asked me one morning as he called for a second cup 'what witch had taught me 'to make such delicious coffee,' and where I "found some that would agree with him? Then I told him for the first time that he had not been drinking coffee, but Postum, which had so strengthened his stomach that he could now eat as much breakfast as any one. "My two sisters were badly troubled with stomach disorder but after leaving off coffee and taking Postum they both recovered their appetites and took on considerable flesh. I wish everyone could be induced to use the health-giving, aromatic Postum." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

Saves Eano, money, Contalns Whito of Egg Less eggs are required in the baking because we use eggs in the making of Egsf Baking Powder. That saves money. The acid ingredient of "Egg" is Wheat Phosphates food element that is vitally essential to the human body. On account of the extraordinary leavening power of Egg Baking Powder, less is required than of the ordinary kinds. That saves more money. When moisture is added, as in baking, little particles of white of egg form countless cells that hold the gas bubbles in pastry, preventing a disastrous "fall. If necessary to leave the room for a moment, after food is prepared for the oven , you can do it safely. 77iaf saves worry. You can jar the oven as much as you please, without causing the cake, biscuit or pastry to fall.
