MUSIC AND DRAMA.
ALABAMA


The attendance so far this season at
plays. operas and other attractions have
been remarkably light. 1t is hard TO ex-
plain the reason since a larger per cent
of good attractions have appeared in
Wichita so far this season than any
season for years, and yet the attendance
is so poor that it is noticeable. With one
or two exceptions during fair week not

the railways east and west Of Chicago
Jan. l. Thousands Of articles Of every
day consumption will be affected, and the
increase will average 35 and 40 per cent,
the jump on many classes reaching so
per cent"
The contemplated action of the railroad
officials has aroused the shipping inter
ests of the country, and vigorous protests
are being made against the sweeping rise
The shippers say that if the carrying
charges are Increased to the extent an
nounced by the railways it will have the
effect of increasing retail prices in every
line of trade. Sugar, soap, coffee, -four,
coal and farm implements are a few Of
the items to be affected.
On the roads east of Chicago the In
crease in rates will be accomplished by
changing the class under which the arti-
cles affected are shipped. This will be
