The tendency towards railroad CONSOLE
dalton is uudoubted, and it becomes
more evident every year. II is believed
by some that the day is not far distant
whe. all the leading railroad systems of
the United States will be under three or
four managements, and it is argued that
this condition OF things would be bene-
Iicinl both TO stockholders and to the
public, as it would enable uniform
freight ana passenger rates 10 be main
tanned and put an end 10 the rate wars
which demoraliZes not only railroads, but
all kinds of commercial business. Up TO
tins date this year the tendency TO con-
sohdute has been very noticeable, there
having been absorbed 1861 miles OF rail-
roads by different systems.
In detail this absorption has been as
follows: The Atchison has absorbed the
Frisco and Colorado Midland, with n
mileage of 1850; the Northern Pacific
has acquired the Seattle, Lake Shore ana

Correspondence OF the Gazette.
CuILDREss, TEX, Oct. ll.-Mr. L.
c. wallack, our very efficient, polite
and accommodating depot agent, ia TAX
ing n short lay off, the only vacation he
has had since he was assigned to duty at
this station, over three years ago. He is
one of the most attentive and obliging
agents on the Fort Worth and Denver
road, and never grows weary or cross in
answering questions. Mr.. 7. B. Parkin
has charge of the office during Mr.. WAL
lick 3 temporary absence.
Heretofore the mail clerks on the Pan
handle route ran all the way from Fort
Worth to Denver without q stop, but
the superintendent of the mail service
has changed IL and made Childress the
end of the run, and mailing clerks from
both Fort Worth and Denver stop here {.
This is another feather in our cap;
though small il helps some. One by one
they will after awhile make a large,
handsome plume. We are expecting, be-
fore Il great while, that Chldress will be
the end of a freight division on the road :,
with roundhouse and machine shops.
That will be big feather.

liable to throat troubles. In
fact, it is the one enemy whose
baleful presence they most fear.
A slight cold soon attacks the

either obliged to desist, or if he
attempts to sing or play, he

himself irreparably in the

no opiate, SO that it does not
deaden the organs, and there is
no fear from an overdose. Peo-
