TRANSATLANTIC TRAVELLERS
Furnished Special Attendants by the
Vandalia-PennsYlvan system.

The bureau of attendants for Trans
atlantic travellers established in Jersey
City and New York City twenty years
ago by the Pennsylvania system, has
proven a great convenience to persons
making European trips and to tourists
arriving in America at that port. It
will be particularly convenient for Wis
itors to the Paris Exposition because
the departure docks of most of the At
lantic steamship lines are convenient
to the new Jersey City passenger sta
ton of the Pennsylvania railroad COM
pariy.
This. bureau consists of experienced
agents whose duties are to meet pas
York over the Ivan a
lines and assist in arranging for Trans
atlantic trip via any of the steamship
lines by conducting them to steamships
and aiding in preparations for trip
abroad.
These agents will provide cabs OPP
Grated by the Pennsylvania system and
aid passengers with their baggage.
They are fully posted on matters per-
tanning to steamships leaving New
York, and arrangements can be made
through them for procuring steamship
tickets in advance.
They also meet incoming steamships
to aid travellers in shaping details for
continuing journeys from New York
over the Pennsylvania lines by fur
nishing tickets, arranging for the trans
fer of baggage from steamship docks
after it has been passed by customs in
spectors, and having the same checked
through to destination. They will re-
serve sleeping car accommodations and
relieve persons of the foregoing details,
making themselves useful as attend
ants and guides free of charge.
Further information on the subject
may be obtained by addressing J. NJ
Chesbrough, assistant general passen-
ger agent, 800 Century building, St.
Louis.

CAYOU is INDICTED.
Smith County Farmer Must Answer
For Counterteiting.

James Cayou, the Smith county man
who was taken from the Shawnee
county Jail to Wichita a few days ago
to appear before the United States
grand jury on the charge of counter
feiting. has. been indicted. and will
have to stand trial
= Cayou frankly acknowledges that he
was led into the trouble by a stranger
whom he befriended. The mans name
is Fred A. Pettingill. The officers have
discovered that he is an old-time
offender, and he has already served two
terms in the penitentiary. His last i'm
prisonment was for seven years for re-
ceiving stolen goods. 1t is probable
that he will get a long sentence in the
federal prison for his latest crime, coun-
terfeiting.

Once?

Thursday. OF this number 230 were
women and 1910 were men. There is
little interest in the election of the new

little call for their registering, except
as a matter of principle.

A STICKY COMBINE.
Composed of Glucose and Starch in
Course of Formation.

New York, March 16-The Times says:
The report that the Glucose Sugar Re
fining company is going to absorb sew
eral other corporations making glucose
and starch thus forming a 800, 600. 600
combination is based upon conjecture,
1t is we'll known that the National
Starch company reorganization COM
mittee has made formal proposals to
absorb the United Starch company and
the former is now practically in control
of the United States Glucose company.
and all three will probably be merged
if the plan in hand goes through. If so,
they will make a corporation with a
capital of less than $50, 600 900. There is
no basis for the statement that the
Glucose Sugar Refining company is
about to merge with these other con-
Germs.

he will find some thirty criminal causes

The crimes for which prisoners must

against the immigration laws come first
on the list, as Seattle Is port through

upon. It may have been that 1 or Others
illustrated our remarks by referring 10
such roads as lead out of Seattle. simply
because we were familiar with those
roads, but no one ever suggested that
the county commissioners should in any
way be hampered az to where they should
spend the money. or that their discretion
should in any way be restricted, except
that the money must be spent upon gen.
eral thoroughfares.
I'm my opening remarks before the
chamber explained the manner in which
road taxes were raised under our law
and stated that in the various road dis
tricts of the county the residents of the
districts when they met in September
voted the amount of tax not less than
l mill or exceeding 10 mills which should
be levied upon the property of the dis
trict for the coming year. which amount
SO voted was certified to the county COM
missioners and by them levied for the
enyuing year. and which amount together
with the poll taxes when paid was used
exclusively for the Improvement OF the
roads within the several road districts:
II said that / did not propose that that
portion of the law should In any way be
changed. My remarks applied exclusively
to the change in the general law above
referred to, which Is section $500 of Bal
fingers code. l believe that change
would be for the benefit of the farmers
more than any one else, and that when
they understood 1t they will be In favor
of IT, have heard the road overseers of
some districts of this county advocate the
change of public meetings."

ADVOCATE NEW STATUTE.
Manuf II ctnrers Believe Present Pure
Food Law Ineficient.

Manu- n cturers Believe Present Pure
Food Law Inenicient.
The Manufacturers Association at its
last meeting received a report from
COMMITTEES appointed to Investigate the
state pure food law and its proposed SUBJ
stitute. The committee reported that the
present law is entirely Inadequate, and
works much hardship on manufacturers
and consumers. 1t also recommended
that action be taken towards securing
suspension of the measure and the
adoption of some bill more nearly fitted
to cover the exigencies OF present condi-
tons.
After hearing this report a short dis
cussion was held and the association
adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved. That the association is con-
WINGED that the best interests of the pub
lie as well as of the members of this
association and manufacturers Of our
state alike demand that the present pure
food law be abrogated or it's enforcement
suspended until such time as congress
shall pass and render effective ma
tional pure food law.
Resolved, That this association favors
the immediate enactment of stringent
and equitable laws for the protection of
the public health against the adulteration
and sophistication of food products. state
and nation concurrently and that we re-
quest of our delegates in congress their
prompt and careful consideration of the
proposed pure food legislation now be-

was received toe late for that purpose.
but in part is az follows.
THE essential fact that we should have
a naval militia is beyond argument. With
the most extensive coast line of any state
In the Union and our principal cities so
situated that only combined force from
the army and navy will protect them,
Puget sound must become great naval
rendezvous. There are so many reasons
tending to this end that such result
Is an eventual certainty.
Yet, with all this. our state is the
only one on either coast without naval
militia. This initiates against. us at
difficult to get consideration from the
navy department and appropriations for
our navy yard and canal from congress.
