INCREASED ON OCT. Z.
Datcs OF Homeseekers' Excavations
Announced - The Pennsylvania
Voluntary Relief Association.

Freight officials. who a week ago were
confident that there would be no advance
in grain rates. were surprised over the
announcement that the lakc-and-rail lines
have agreed to advance rates on east
bound grain products 21z cents per hundred
pounds. to take effect Oct Z. Should it
lead TO generalization in grain rates

the present basis is high enough 20 leave

too low to admit of an advance In rates.
say the shippers.
A dispatch from Chicago says: The
freight rates from Chicago TO the
East are beginning to stiffen up somewhat
and this In the face of the regulations that
have been made by the Western roads
and the decentralization in freight rates un-
der which the latter lines are struggling,
and the approaching close OF navigation, is
considered decidedly favorable symptom

and not much is being taken under twenty
cents. and more contracts are being made
at that figure than under IL. The situation
naturally depends upon what the Western
roads do this week at St. Louis, and If they
agree 10 keep up rates TO Chicago. the
Central Traffic lines will have easier
time now In keeping up their rates. If the
Western roads reach no agreement there
will be end Of trouble before the East

absence from the State the estate was set
tied up. being divided equally between the
widow and the son. 1t is averred that after

that the real estate be held for sale TO

Care OF old Emproye..

Next month the regular fall meeting Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company Vol
untary Relief Association will, be held, and
some important matters will be brought
up for consideration which have bearing
on the future of the organization. Such
as this committee de-
cides TO offer will be acted on at the an
nual meeting in February. While the ac-
ton of thi- advisory committee at pres
ent refers only TO the association east of
Pittsburg. the same plan will without
doubt be extended to the lines west of
Pittsburg- For some time past there has
been some talk OF creating a superannua-
ted department which is to be devoted to
members who have been in the associa-
ton for number OF years. and who are
now unable to continue their duties. either
by old age or accident. There has been
gencies, and the superannuated fund now
amounts to over 500, 000- While this is
considered a good start, IL is not con-
sidered advisable to create a departure in
the association until the income from this
fund Is enough to keep the new innovation
moving. 1t Is more than likely that this
fund will be considerably increased before
the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. which has been gen.
erous to this association. is inclined to
render all the aid possible, and is in no
way backward about donating money for
any good object
To pension the old employees the Penn

seems inclined to take this off fits hands,
II Is not likely that any objection viii be
made; on the contrary, all assistance that
can be given will be rendered The relief
association Is more prosperous now than
ever before. and during the last year the
membership has largely increased. 1t is
purely optional on the part OF the employe
whether he joins the relief association or
not. but IL seems that Ii has met with
favor, as most of the employees are MEM
bers. 1t takes In not only the clerks but
all the various men employed in the oper-
alton OF the company.

Police Telegraph Systems.


A statement made by Police Com
missioner Andrews of New York has
drawn attention to the inadequacy of
the majority of existing systems Of
communication between policemen on
the beat and headquarters, fire sta
tions, etc. Commissioner Andrews
says: with a perfect telegraph sys-
TEN every man would be kept con,
stantly on his post. He could COM
municate with his precinct whenever
the occasion required it. With such
a system ther would be saving of
several hundred men. 1t would be
better to discontinue the appointing
of 100 men yearly, for period of sew
eral years, and esta blish such tele-
graphic system as l have described.
This department certainly requires it,"
The fault with many police telegraph
systems is that, although they are
good as far as they go, they do not go
far enough. Too few alarm boxes are
used, and the communication, as a
rule, does not extend beyond the sta
ton houses. There should be Il box
on every mans post, so that he could
send for assistance, call an ambulance
or fire engine, or take reports with
out leaving his post and travelling to
the station house. There are now
available several systems which would
meet all these requirements. The
smallest salaried policeman costs Il
city much more than the most expen-
sive alarm box, and the latter is often
the more needed Of the two.

OLGA.

An enterprise deserving more than
passing notice among the business
enterprises of Cavalier county is the
Olga cheese factory, established ID
1890 by j. b. Beauchamp, who has
been identified with the various inter-
ests of that picturesque little town
since its inception. Mr.. Beauchamps
factory is numbered by the state agri-
cultural department as fourth among
the factories in the state at that time,
The beneficial influence this institu-
ton has had on the immediate sur
rounding neighborhood is proven III
the liberal patronage it receives. Its
facilities have been largely increased
since its inception and today Nj.
Beauchamp can with all modesty claim
the honor of turning out the finest
sample of full cream cheese in the
state. The premises utilized are scrupn-
lousy neat in their arrangement and
are supplied with the latest and most
modern machinery. MIR. Lewis Dess-
lock, a graduate of the dairy school
of the Wisconsin college of Agriculture
superintends the making of the differ
ent brands of cheese and is practical
and experienced cheesemaker. Only
the choice material is used in the pro-
duct and patrons may rely on receiving
pure. wholesome and fresh article as
the success the factory is meeting with
is entirely due to the superior quality
of the goods turned out. \
