VAST SUNS TO BE SPENT BY
RAILROADS.

Better proof that improved business
conditions have come to stay could not
be furnished than the proposed expen'
diture Of fifty million dollars by the
railroads Of this country for new equip
ment and for extension of their lines.
The carrier corporations are the first
to feel the effects of industrial depres-
sion and almost the last to receive
the benefits Of revived business activi-
ty, The fruits OF restored business
confidence and Industrial activity must
be realized in increased production be-
fore the railroads can reap their share
Of the general prosperity.
Since 1899 railroad building has been
practically at standstin. The hard
times. combined with hostile pOpulist
legislation in the West, drove many
roads into the hands of receivers, and
those that were fortunate enough to
escape receivers were careful to make
no outlays for extensions and no ad-
ditions to equipment that were not alb
solutely necessary to handle the bust
ness. They were also seriously han
dicapped by the Generalization IN
freight rates following the decision of
the supreme court which dissolved
traffic agreements.
The railroads have been waiting for
evidences Of permanent business i'm
provement before entering upon any
extended plans for railway building or
the purchase of new equipment. They
are now convinced that the traffic Of
the future win warrant a heavy out
lay for new lines. new bridges new
engines and new cars. Statistics Of
railway business for the first three
months Of 1900 show enormously in
creased earnings compared with the
first three months of 1899 The in
creased gross earnings of los systems
is given as follows:
First three months 1900. 1858, s43, ,s9s

That railway managers are con-
WINGED that the prosperity of the
country is permanent and that indus
trial activity will increase rather than
diminish is evidenced by their decision
to invest s5OOOO.OOO in new trackage
and equipment to handle the increased
business of the future instead of pay
ing it out in dividends. This decis-
ion is reached in spite Of the greatly
increased cost of materials entering
into railway construction.

HERE'S A WIRE THAT TALKS.
The New Kind of PhOnOgrnph IL Just
% Piece of Piano Wire.

Piece of Piano Wire.
Think of phOnOgraph without Il cyl
inder or dlaphram, II phOnOgraph that
simply strings its records on plano
wire, as you might file so many writ
ten sheets of paper. That Is exactly
what Il New Orleans electrician says
he has invented.
Its description Is not difficult. When
you talk over Il telephone the vlbra'
tions of your voice send out a series of
delicate electric waves. In the new
machine a telephone Is connected with
an electro magnet, which Is excited
by the little waves as they travel
through It in infinitely rapid succession,
and at the same time long piece of
piano wire Is drawn past its two poles,
very near. but not touching. This mag
nctzes the wire, but as the magnet It,
self is continually varying in power,
owing to the vibrations, there Is n cor
responding variation in the effect II
produces. That Is, the wire Is mag
netized In different degrees all along its
length, as If it We're divided into mill
ions of very thin disks, each of Il sep
arate magnetic power. These disks
are your record.
For reproduction mild electric cur
rent Is sent through the magnet, ana
the same wire is again passed in front
of the poles. The irregularly magnet
lied wire breaks the current into eN-
actly the same kind of waves that We're
originally sent out from the telephone,
and when an ordinary receiver Is con-
ncctcd with II you hear n reproduction
of the voice, just as you now hear II

Other business men, including some
of our best citizens, have been hauled
up, Inundated, exposed and harassed
by the Board Of Assessors, and have
been taxed to the full limit on their per.
sonal property, much Of which had q
fieeting value.
But the Weber gang who deal In

The people are not fools.
They are asking questions.
How do the Webers get off 30 lightly
on their taxes?
That's what many people would like
to know.
In looking over last years published
lists we find that Sam Richardson, the
lOaner, paid taxes on personal property
worth $4,000; that the Chicago Loan
Company, Of 100 In Sale street, paid
on $4,000 worth Of personal property,
and that several other loan people paid
even more.
But we find that Louis Weber only
paid on $11,4OO at 341 South Clark
street, and on 81 500 at 345 South Clark
street.
What do you think Of that?
The name Louis Weber covers n

In this way the Republican managers
hope to cut down the revenue of the
city so as to stop all street cleaning
