A man one time took gallon jug to his
grocer to have it filed with moasses. In
due time his bill came in and he was charged
with one and half gallons. His only re-
mark was that he did not object to paying
for the one and half gallons, but lie hated to
put such strain on the jug. This is our
case precisely. We don't object to carrying
big stock, but we don't want to burst out
the sides of our buildings. Consequently,

That Tickling

In your throat arises from catarrh and as catarrh
is constitutional disease the ordinary cough
medic'i all fail to hit the spot. What you need
is constitutional remedy like Hoods Sarsaparl-
la, which, by building up the general health, and
expelling the scrofuous faint which is the cause
OF catarrh and consumption, has restored to per-
feet health many persons on whom these disc tses
seem to have firm hold. Many unsoli tied testi-
monials prove beyond question that Hoods Sarsa-
pariIla do positively cure catarrh.

Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1888-03-01

For period of such general prosperity as
the past year, following as it did upon other
prosperous years. this seems very diSeOur-
aging showing. 1t does not add to the peace
of mind of investors in railroad securities to
learn that in such year as 1887 no less than
thirty-one different railways, aggregatiny
nearly $500 miles and representing an ap-
parent capital investment of over 1928, 000,-
900, were sold in bankruptcy for what they
would bring, with the inevitable result of
wiping out a considerable percentage of the
securities altogether, and in most cases COM
polling scaling down of the rest for the
purpose of Reorganization. 1t will be seen.
however on examination that, as already sug-
gested, the troubles which resulted i'm the
closing out of these roads were in most cases
of long standing, Several very large COM
panies contribute to swell the total to its APP
palling aggregate, notable among them being
the Indiana, Bloomington and Western, Ken
lucky Central; New York, Chicago and ST.
Louis; Buffalo, New York and Philadelphia !;
Central Iowa and Texas and Pacific; these
six companies alone being responsible for
nearly 70 per cent of the mileage, and nearly
so per cent of the capital represented in the
aggregate for the year.
1t is interesting to note the geographical
distribution of the lines sold. The thirty
one roads named are scattered among seven
teen different States, and there are only four
States to which more than two of the bank
rupt lines are credited and only one other
has more than one. 1t is q little remarkable
that while by far the greater part of the
railway building has been carried on in the
wild and presumably reckless West, the
old, conservative and wealthy Eastern States
of New York and Pennsylvania furnished
nnrlxr irI ,f tl,ar Ig hot had IN l,a
closed out during the year, while none of the
States in the West or South, with the excep-
ton of Iowa, Kentucky and Texas, contrib
uted more than one to the list, and the great
mdjority of them made no showing of reck-
less or unfortunate management so far as the
record of foreclosures suggests. But bad as
are the totals of the foreclosure table there IS
some encouragement in comparing them with
those of former years, and for this purpose
we present the following recapitulation from
our files:

and l may say reasonable accommodations
in view of The volume OF travel ami tonnage
we have had 10 move. Ii these revenues are
reduced, we shall be compelled, absolutely
forced TO reduce the operation expenses and
run these roads with local trains
There is no other course open. 1t amounts
simply to this, shall the operation expenses
be kept within the earnings or the owners
of the property be ruined l believe, you
gentlemen are actuated by desire to OBJ
tain full information upon this important
subject, in order that there may
be Just and equitable action taken in the
premises-action taken with a due regard to
all interests. If you had found that on the
Dubuque & Sioux City road, and the Iowa
Falls & Sioux City road, shippers and
travellers were subjected to higher tolls
than upon similar lines of the State of Illi-
nOs, it might have been pertinent queS-
tiOn TO ask if these rates could not be put
down to rates of the Illinois Central company
in Illinois. But from the figures l have
shown you, and they are accessible at any
time to any one, you will find that these rail-
ways with small local travel, little through
travel, and diminishing tonnage are charg-
ing substantially the same rates as are
charged by another corporation in sister
State, the lines of which corporation have a
large travel and great volume tonnage.
Member: Do you claim that that applies
TO grain and stock all through?
Mr.. Jeifery: No; did not read it all
through.
Member: Isn't II on grain and live stock
considerable higher than the Illinois rate?
Mr.. JefTery: Mr.. Tucker, the General
Freight Agent, informs me that the grain
rate ON the Dubuque q Sioux City and Iowa
Falls & Sioux City roads are substantially the
same as ON the Illinois Central Company's
lines in Illinois. l regret that have not
the figures here, but as | said when / com
menced my remarks, many Of my papers and
statistics are in my car did not bring
them with me because did not expect to
have the honor of addressing you this even
ing. The stock rates, l understand Mr..
Tucker to say, are also substantially the
same.
If any gentleman present wishes to ask
any questions in detail on these subjects,
the General Freight Agent will be very hap
ply indeed to answer them. We have moth
ing at all we desire to hide. Ourrecords are
all open transactions, and our actions all
above board, and we want you to understand
everything we do and why we do it.
i thank you for your attention.
