Will Make Great Improvements
Here.
Have Been Contemplated for Some
Time and will Soon Be
Carried Out.

A KENTUCKIAN representative
yesterday came into possession of a
few facts that will prove Of interest
to the general public. We will re-
mark in passing, they are not de-
velopments brought out by the
presence in our city of the promi-
nent officials who were in the city
this week, but have been under
consideration of the company for
several months.
The officials have long realized
that the Offices occupied by Mr..
Slater, the local agent, are in every
way untitled for his use, to say
nothing of the want of room neces.
sary tor the quick handling of the
large bulk of freight daily received
at and shipped from this point, also
leaving out the ancient appearance
of the old frame structure known as
the freight depot on Ninth street.
The tobacco warehouse on Sixth
street which the Company erected
two or three years'ago, Is perfectly
adarted for the purpose for which
it was intended, but the original
building has long been an eyesore
to the company as well as to the
public.
1t is the intention Of the manage
ment, at very early period, to re-
move some of the partitions in the
modern passenger depot, and move
Mr.. Slater's entire working force
and Offices into it.
After this is done it is the pur-
pose of the company to tear down
the old shack now occupied by the
agent and erect a large and. COM
modious building, which, in it's con-
ception, has been designed to meet
every requirement. An approPria-
ton sufficient for this purpose has
already been made, andbefOre next
winter it is highly probable the
building will have been completed
in every detail.
But we are glad to state that this
is not all the much needed improve
ments that the company intends to
make. Last summer Mr.. Burns,
the civil engineer, who has his
headquarters here, furnished the
proper officials with designs, speci-
fcations and cost of enclosing the
sPsce surrounding the passenger
depot with dressed stone, using the
same material for steps where nee
essary. This will incur a very
heavy outlay, but the company has
its intention of doing this.
One improvement always sug-
gests another and when the above
aresaccomplished otherswill follow.
Our people will highly appreciate
these great thirgs to be done by the
L. & n, and will no doubt be will
ing to lend what encouragement
they can in the company's carry
ing out its plans.

And eating is simply perfunctory-

This is the common complaint Of

If eating sparlngly would cure dys-
pepsia. few would suffer from it long.
The only way to cure dyspepsia,
which is difficult digestion. is to give

NEW APPLICANTS FOR STATEHOOD.

There are now pending in congress
bills prOyi1ing for the admission to
statehood OF III the remaining terri
tories within the boundaries of
of the United States proper
per. Arizona and New Mexico are
again urging their demands for CLASH
ticati1n among the states, but the
force of their arguments is somewhat
weakened by the fact that both have
been outstripped in growth of popula-
tiCn by Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory, which desire admission as a sim
gle state. The people of the latter
territories are able to make much the
best showing in support of their
claims. The story Of their extraor-
binary development is one of the ro-
mances of the west According to
statistics given in The Daily News
AlnidGac for 1902, Oklahoma, which
in 1880 and 1890 stood fourth in the
list of territories, is now first: In
dian Territory which ranked eighth
in 1880, being now second New Mex
leo, which in 1860 ranked first, is now
third OF the group, while Arizona,
which ten years ago was fairly on an
equality with Oklahoma, is now
fourth. At present the combined
population of Arizona and New Mex.
leo is less than that of either one OF
the other two territories.
1t is this change OF relative status,
doubtless, which has prompted the
present suggestion that all these ter.
ritories join forces and demand ad.
mission together. If any discrimi.
nation were to be made among them
Arizona and New Mexico would be
the sufferers, and as the people OF
those older territories stand ready tC
oppose any action which does not
recognize their claims the self-interest
of all might lie in joining forces in a
common cause. A plan which would
introduce into the senate six new mem
bers, all from the sparsely settled
south central or southwestern sections
of the country. however, is not to be
contemplated with equanimity. &c
give six senators to group of states
which all together have a population
smaller than that of Connecticut
woald be dangerously to disturb the
balance Of governmental representa-
ton. Apparently the most that can
legitimately be asked of congress at
the present time is that it permit the
admission of the two more advanced
and progressive territories as single
state. Chicago News.

given when benefits are sought.

And in his first message to congress
President Roosevelt reiterated his adj
herence to the beneficent system of
reciprocity.
We have now reached the critical
stage in our industrial progress.
During the generation that followed
the Civil War our manufacturers had
before them the apparently unlimited
demand of our home market, which
gave full scope TO their enterprise and
ambition. Secure against foreign
competition we doubled and quad
rupled our output, and multiplied it
again ten-fold, and the question of
foreign markets for a conjectural sur
plus was matter to which we gave
little or no attention.
But now that the protective system
has done its great work, we are con-
fronted by new problems that are
more serious than the Old. The
enterprise and ambition of our manu-
facturerS constitute vital force of
irresistible potential, "a force that
cannot be arrested at will like the mo-
ton of an engine or a machine. If
we cannot go forward and find new
markets to absorb our increasing out
put, it is inevitable that we shall turn
upon ourselves and waste in destruc-
tive competition the energy that
might, with proper outlet, give us
command of the markets of the world.
1t is automatic that with industry
stagnant and mill half idle the coun-
try at large cannot prosper.

A Michigan City man, Fascinated
by the handsome pictures in mail
order catalogue; came TO his senses
just in the nick of time to save order
ing lot Of stuff that he found he
could buy of his local merchant much
cheaper than he was about to pay to a
stranger in another CITY, Another
man in the same place sent an order
for bill amounting to s7s and found
that he paid so more than the same
goods sold for regularly IN his home
stores. Such experiences are dupli-
Gated in this vicinity almost every day
The pictures and fine writing in the
catalogues are very enticing to be sure,
but they never save a dollar for the
people are beguiled by their spacious
promises. Buying at home is hum
drum everyday sort of business and it
lacks the novelty and excitement of
making selections by tawdry cuts and
alluring descriptions, but it is safest
and cheapest 500 times in a thousand.
The trading stamp bubble in about
exploded and the craze is dying out.
Their use in Plymouth is about at an
end. When customers congratulate
themselves on getting something for
nothing do they never stop to ask
themselves Who is paying the mer-
chant for his liberality? The price of
goods must be sufficient to include
their cost, the expenses Of the bust
ness, the merchants living expenses
and reasonable profit. The cost of
the trading stamp is always and nee
essarily incluned in the price of the
goods and the customer pays it.
Rightly looked at the trading stamp
/ is nuisance to dealer and customer
alike and the abrogation of the sys-
tenn ought to be welcomed by both.
Watch quarrel every chance you
get. Nine times in ten it is unnec-
essary, ridiculous and equally shame
fll TO both participants. A sincere
effort to reach an understanding at
the incipiency of a quarrel would al
most invariably obviate the friction
and ieaye the parties on friendly
terms. In the great majority of cases
the desire of one to be smart and cut
ting and of the other to ''get back
and 'sgive as good as was sent" is ap-
parantlv of far greater importance
than the cause of contention itself.
Study the quarrels of others and you
will probably learn enough to keep
out of such trouble yourself.
