Gaines was the only official at
home at the time of our visit and
not knowing the combination to

PLANS OF THE COTTON BELT

The latest absorption of railroad
property affects the interests in the
southwest. 1t was announced yes
terday ia railroad circles here that
negotiations were about concluded
for the purchase of the Houston
East and West Texas line by the
Cotton Belt, or st. Louis South
western. The Houston East and
West Texas is known in the hnan-
cial world as the Blair line. 1t ex-
tends from Shreveport to Houston,
232 miles, and will give the Cotton
Belt a much,desired Texas southern
outlet. 1t connects with the South
ern Pacific, the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass, the Honston and
Texas Central, the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas, the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe, the international
and Great Northern, the Galveston
Daponte and Houston, the Cotton
Belt, the Queen and Crescent, the
Kansas City, Plttsburg and Gull
and the Texas and Pacific.
The Cotton Belt has had an eye
on the East and West Texas fol
some time, and the chairman of the
board of the latter, Mr. james
Blair of New York, has had severa
conferences with the Goulds in re
lation to the deal. This exteutiol
of the Cotton Belt system in TeXa
would make it a powerful factor il

are being arranged in New Yor

Strikes of various kinds and char

trv. So the coal miners are not the
only pebbles on the beach, AT
Cleveland, Ohio, the trolley car men
are on a big strike. Iron workers
in parts of the iron region are also
on a strike. Wonder why the re-
pubicans do not blame the admin

when Cleveland occupied the White

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an indamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube,
When this tube gets inAamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed foreyer nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which IS nothing but

ONE MILLION LETTERS DAILY.
Employees Of the Great Chicago Post
once Do an Immense Amount
of work.

The letters and postal cards that are
mailed at the Chicago post Office each
day would, if laid end to end, make a
continuous trail from the Chicago river
to the city OF Milwaukee. The recent
weighing Of the mails shows that 1,oOo,-
600 letters and postal cards are depos-
tied at the local Office and its branches
each "a hours. The weighing of the
mails has only TO do with the matter
originating at the office and disregards
that coming from other points to Chi
cago. The daily total of mail of all
kinds going out Of this city amounts to
110 tons
The figures give the following results
by classification:

Given in pounds and tons the mail
does not make much more impression
on the mind than SO much sugar or
-four, but when reduced to pieces the
enormous inflow of letters and papers
becomes apparent. Besides the 1,O00,-
600 postal cards and letters gathered
up by the collectors each day there are
100000 papers dumped into the sacks
in the same time. If spread out in
sheets they would make path two feet
wide and 166 miles long. About 150,0OO
packages of third and fourth-class mail
are delivered to the local Office each day
nearly 100000 separate pieces of
postal matter being sent from this city
every "a hours. 1t puts the Chicago
post office up to the billion mark for
the year., 900 100000 pieces of mail
matter taken in at its doors and over
1000, 100000 pieces sent out-fcr the
outgoing mail is is tons day heavier
than the incoming.
Each letter, paper or other article is
handled six times before it leaves the
post Office, This makes a handling Of
the equivalent of 100000 pieces a day
of outgoing and 100000 more Of in
coming mail = an average of $4,000 |
pieces for each employe engaged in the
work.
The weighing is being done at the d.
rection of the post Office authorities in
Washington in order to determine the
actual amount of mail matter handled
in the country. 1t is the first weighing
of all the mail matter in the Chicago Of
flee. The only previous measurement
of mails by pounds was that every four
years Of the mail handled by railroads,
upon which is based the compensation
of the lines.--Chicago Chronicle.

Some of the Indian citizens of
the CnIckasaw nation claim tie
right to sell lands and give bond
for title, on the ground that the
Atoka agreement dissolved tribal
relations, and they are no longer
bound by tribal laws and customs,
and became possessed of individ-
ual land and property rights as
soon as their names were put upon
the Dawes commission citizenship
rolls. If they try to maintain this
right, and some of them will, what
will the United States government
do about it?-Indian Herald.

In the scramble for federal ap-
pointments in the Indian Territory
tribal affairs have apparently been
lost sight Of. The people at large,
especially the Cherokees, are much
more interested in what action
congress is likely to take with ref
erence to the disposition Of their
interests. What the Cherokees
most need is titles to their allot-
ments, and the per capita distribu-
tion of their funds. Individual
interest is all that is left worth
protecting in the Cherokee nation.
