AT A meeting in Milwaukee Saturday
afternoon Of representatives of the stock
holders of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railway Company, who were au
thorized to vote 70 per cent. of the total
stock owned, it was decided to carry out
the previously discussed plan of inereas
ing the capita stock by an additional is
sue Of 325.0OOtO. Chairman Miller
states that at least Sl0,OOO,O0O of this
new stock is to be used to replace money
which has been expended in past years
for new lines, extensions and permanent
improvements, which were paid out of
the gross earnings. 1t has always been
the policy of the company, Mr.. Miller
states, that whenever these improve
ments are paid out of the earnings, an
equal return. shall 30 made to the stock
holders, either ia the form of stocks or
bonds. While nothing is said by Chair
man Miller as to reaching out toward
the Pacific coast, it has for some years
been understood that the Milwaukee
road would some day have line, or an
excellent rail connection and traffic ar
rangement, 70 the western boundaries Of
the country. The action of the stock
holders on Saturday will bring the total
stock issue of the Milwaukee road up to
Sl2S ,93S.3OO, while the c. st of the road
and equipment up to- date has reached
the total of S229, 73l 1861.

The rapidity with which rural mail
delivery has forged to the front, and the
extent to which it has been overrunning
the country, is astonishing rather than
surprising. Of course, it is a most ex-
ceIlent thing, else it would not have SO
quickly established itself, but the way in
which it is making progress in every part
of the country is really wonderful. A
few years ago several hundred thousand
dollars were all that were allotted to
what was felt to be an experiment only.
At the approaching session of congress
Postmaster General Payne will ask for
no less than S12,O0O,000 to carry out his
rural delivery system during the fiscal
year. There are today more than $4,000
free rural routes in operation, which re-
quire S9,000,000 for their sustenation,
and S3,00O,000 will be required to carry
on the new routes that have been mark
ed out. Not the least of the advantages
of the system is that it is not more ex-
pensive than the old method of distribu-
ton, and in many localities is actually
cheaper. The advantages to the farmers
and others residing in the country are
simply incalculable, resulting in a great
saving of time and money to everybody.

THE travelling libraries of Wisconsin,
under the management of the Wisconsin
Library commission, have attained Il
world wide reputation. The idea is to
put up about fifty books in suitable
case and send the cases about from one
library station to another as they are
read. These stations are in out-of-the
way places, where access to libraries is
not possible in any other way. Each
station has fifty books on hand all the
time and always new lot. There are
now in use about 273 of these. More
than half Of them probably are dona-
tions from various sources. In all, indi-
viduals have given over $1,000 for this
purpose Several men have organized
and supported systems of exchange of
their own for their immediate communi-
ties, among whom are Senator Stout and
J. D. Witter pioneers in this work.

Pfckpockets end Pins.

Artful as the ways Of the Heather
Chinee" are the lodges of the expert
picker of pockets. The other night a
young lady who had been to the thea
ter was getting on to a tram car, and,
knowing the possibilities opened up to
the light fingered gentry by crowd,
she kept her hand in her pocket and
grasped her purse firmly. Suddenly
she felt sharp prick as from pin on
her hand and, acting on the impulse,
let go her hold Of the purse and
snatched her hand out, almost as quick
ly returning it, but she was too late
In the few seconds that had elapsed
another hand had been there, and the
purse was gone.

DAVID S. Rose is making purely per-
sonal canvass. In his speech here We'd
nesday he did not say one word about
tariff reform or other issues Of his party
or even make mention of the other can
didates on the state ticket. Perhaps he
thinks he has about as big contract as
he can attend to to save his own scalp
and the other fellows must look after
their own interests.

NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED AT SEA.

The new system Of wirelss teIegra-
ply renders X possible the reaiiz1-
tion OF the predictions that newspapers
would be published on the ocean lin
ers. They could not, however. be az
much up-to-date or effective as those
published on lnnd. In this respect
they would differ widely from the fa-
nous Hostetter's stomach Biters. be-
cause II has been proven to be just
as effective on Nsea as on land. We
would therefore urge everyone contem-
plating on ocean trip to take a sup
ply with them. II Is invaluable as
a tonic and preventive Of sea-sick-
mesa. Those who remain on land
should always keep bottle Of II in
the house to cure heartburn, indiges-
ton. dyspepsia, constipation and ma
laria. Don't fail to try IT.
