"A new bureau is to be established by

For years, say officers of the railroads.

In this. they say, they do not mean

bureau by which meetings OF the al
vertising agents of the several roads
VIII be held at stated intervals and
questions Of mutual interest discussed
One of the evils of the new bureau

as the folder box" These boxes hold
railroad folders and are placed in hotels
and other prominent places along rail-
road lines They are owned by indiVld-
uals and companies and there is great
disparity in the contracts made for
their use by the different roads
A proposition has been made to en-
tireIy a bandOn relations with those who
control the folder boxes. There are
thousands of these boxes in the towns
and cities west of Chicago and the rent

their owners.

With Money.

London, Sept. 9-"The feeling of the
British world" said Lord Rothschild
this morning to a representative Of the
Associated Press, is that President Nc
Kinley viii get well and everything
come out all right. Hence the rise of
American securities on the stock ex-
change above parity"
Asked if he thought the financial con-
dition Of the United States was strong
enough to Withstand the worst contin-
gency. Lord Rothschild said:
we ara not dealing with hypothesis.
We think President Mckinley viii live
and that is sufficient Today's rise is
due to general belief in that and tt
no concerted action on the part of the
financial leaders"
Lord Rothschild expressed sorrow for
the attempted assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley and added that every
body he knew felt the same way.
