Through trains from Navasota run to
Brennan now, says the Banner, arriving
here at 40 p m, and leaving for NavasOta
at 4:lO, arriving there at 80, giving Nava-
sofa people and those along the line a
chance to come to BRENNAN and do any
amount of trading aud return the same
day As Brennan has been made the
southern terminus OF the Montgomery
branch of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa F'e
the trade Of Brennan is expected to be
materially Increased, and merchants of this
city viii be steering over their rights,
blind TO their own interests and reckless
with their main chance of increasing Bren-
hams trade Very materially if they don't
make big effort TO get the people all along
this line TO coming this way to 10 their
trading. Some inducement should be
offered them. The merchants might get
together and resolve to do something to
bring them, if it WIS only to pay their rail
rOaG fare when they purchased some stipu-
lated amount of goods To be the southern
terminus of this branch with such favor
able schedule to Brennan is no small thing
for this city if the effort is made TO turn
the trade this way. Do something.

The Cotton Belt school Girls.

Travelling Passenger Agent L. NJ Carter
of the Cotton Belt will start this m0rning
with another party Of school girls for Ken
lucky. He has his rabbits foot with him.
and says the business Is bound to come TO
the Cotton Belt SO long as he carries that

Fulton, I daughter OF the mayor OF Gal

Carter has made a good record in this

IA students over the Cotton Belt for
schools in Virginia, Kentucky. Tennessee
and North Carolina, which entities it to the

days party the entire Pullman sleeper has

The Cotton Belt is handling all he Texas
students for eighteen schools, and has viz
tually secured 4 monopoly of the business

During a recent trip through Alabama

The Memphis Commercial IS authority
for the following statement regarding a
rumOred Santa Re extension:
New York dispatches confirm the report
that the Illinois Central and Atchison com
panieS are interested in the construction of
new line in the South. BY it the Illinois
Central will obtain the shortest line from
Chicago to Galveston and Houston and j
large section OF Southwestern Louisiana
and Southeastern Texas, while the Atchison
is let into heavy timber region. IL is said
that the new road may eventually become
an exclusively Atchison property. Itwould
do much toward rounding out the Atchison
system of roads which compete with the
Huntington and Gould Texas roads The
new road is the Texas, Louisiana and East
ern. 1t is 10 be built from Monroe the ter
minus Of the Montgomery branch of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa I7e 10 the IRON
wood crossing of the Trinity river, forty
miles. From that point the direction of
the road is Kept 4 secret, but it may be said
that Il comprehensive system of branches is
planned to tap the famous yellow pine dis
trictS of Southeastern Texas and Southern
Louisiana. 1t is estimated that directly
tributary to the first forty miles, from
Monroe to the Trinity river, there are H.
600. 900 feet of timber, or l2J, 600 carloads of
lumber.

The Texas Commission.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. 9.-The Texas roads
have concluded not TO fight the Texas rail
road commission in the courts, but will to-
day put into effect the tariff promulgated
by the latter, making reductions in rates on
flour. hay and salt a peculiarly of the
tariff is that no distance can be charged for
1T u greater rate than $50 miles. The Texas
and Pacific, with $50 miles from tl Paso 10
Texdrkana, cannot charge for the entire
haul more than other roads charge for $50
miles. The Texas commission is now work
ing on a new cotton tariff which is intended
to reduce the cotton rates l2l3 per cent.
The falling off in the earnings on the St.
Louis and Southwestern and the Texas and
Pacific roads has called attention again to
the fact that business this year in Texas is
not as good as it was last year This is
confirmed by the officials of the companies
here. One OF them says that the state Of
Texas has been suffering this year from
high money rates and from a check to rail-
road profits by the aggressiveness of the
Farmers Alliance in the legislature. The
situation in this respect now is slowly
mendlng. There has been a split in the
Alliance which is making it lose considera-
bic of its original power.
In the next place the railroad commits
sioners have shown the roads more con-
sideration than they had any reason 10 ex-

heartened, but the commissioners have
given them fresh hopes. They promul
gated Il tariff 4 short time ago reducing
rates 1875 per cent The companies APP
peared at once and showed how injurious
such Il tariff would be. The commissioners
accepted the evidence and Withdrew the
tariff as first put out, and are now not over
looking the interests OF the roads in max
ing rates. There is reason to believe that
Il change for the better is taking uIacp in
the sentiment of the people towards rail
roads

Home Visitors Rates.

The home visitors rates, the name given
the rates made for those in the West who
desire to visit the East on the same footing
as the harvest eXcurSiOuiStS, viii certainly
apply from Kansas City. The Wabash has
given notice to the Alton and the Memphis
that the rate from st. Louis can be used as
i baSing rate and the Alton Will put III a
cue-fare rate from Kansas City, which Will
be met by the other lines.
The Western passenger association was
to have taken 4 vote on the proposition to
put in the rate in its territory, but so far as
known no action has been taken. 1t is not
probable that the association will put in the
rate of its own volition, as the Northwest
lines and the Maple Leaf will not favor the
move. When the Alton makes rates, how
ever, out OF Kansas City, the other lines
will meet them. y probable result of the
Eastern rates viii be the lowering of the
west-bound rates in the Western territory
The rate East will be one fare, and the lines
cannot be consistent and leave the Western
rate at one and 4 third. If they do not
lower the rate West it will furnish food for
thought among the Western people vfho
are interested in bringing the excursions
out here.
A new development in the excursion stu
alton is the announcement of the Baltimore
and Ohio Southwestern that it will sell
tickets out OF st. Louis for Southeastern
points at the one-fare rate and on the same
date as the harvest excursion, September
Is. The rate has been offered to the West
ern lines as basing rate and it is possible
that the move will materially affect the sit
uation. The Baltimore and Ohio South
western has a splendid service to the best
resorts in the Southeast, and the rate APP
plies through the Shenandoah valley and
the historic district adjoining. It will have
the effect of taking good many tourists.
into that country, and unless attractions in'
the shape of rates 10 other points are made
the lateness of the season will not prevent
a good travel in that direction. The local.
agent of the Alton has as yet received ho
notice of the application of the one-fare
rate out of Kansas City, out is expecting
il at any time

Through Ta.ins on Coal.

Chairman J. w Midgley OF the Western
freight association has ordered tllrough

Eastern Illinois has been shipping Brazil

scheme chiseled 40 cents on each ton out of
