RATE REDUCTIONS PROMISED.

After speaking OF the congested state of trans
pcrtation throughout the country. Mr. Hill said:
A careful examination of the railway problem
from a national standpoint will, believe, show
beyond question that the business of the country
has outgrown the facilities Of most of the trunk
lines, and new facilities not apparent will be
necessary TO relieve the situation. Rates In the
United States are much lower than in any other
country. Wages are higher. and the most OF much
or the material is much higher than in Europe
yet the rate charged in Europe is fully twice as
high as in America. The conditions this country
change very rapidly. While have been cut
In two in twenty years all kinds of labor and ma
30 TO 70 per cent. Nothing but the Increased vol
Tune Of traffic has made II possible to reduce rates
as they have been reduced. To-day we find the
volume OF trafc so great east Of Chicago that the
railways are not able to move It under the present
and at whose cost? Who will build lines or
increase old ones? These the questions which
will not undertake to answer. further than TO sa
that the West must have the facilities or suffer
for the want of them The public must bear in
mind that bankrupt road cannot furnish good
service. "N
] hope in the future that with better methods or
cultivation and more knowledge OF what is re-
quired. your condition may be constantly Improved
and IL your condition is improved will certain,
iy share IL with you. AS the volume of traffic in
creases our rates will be reduced. Remember that
whatever helps you helps the railroad, and what
ever hurts you or restricts your growth restricts
the growth Of the railroad serving you We will
always prosper together or be poor together

LIZZIE THOMAS TOOK
DOSE OF CARBOLiC ACID
The Fact That Her Brother-in-Law
Was at Work in the Oxford
Was the Cause.

Because her brother-in-law Andrew
Swift. who is working at the Oxford, is
permitted to live at her mothers house,
17-year-old Lizzie Thomas. daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Evan Thomas, Of North
Ninth street. quarreled with her mother
last night, left home and took poison.
After brooding for a couple of hours
over her mother having told her she
could leave the house if she didn't like
it there Lizzie went to Dawes drug
store and secured two ounces of car
bolic acid. Walking up Main avenue,
and then around the corner of SWEET
land street to Evans court, she drew a
few steps into the dark court and pro-
ceeded to take the poison.
. Evidently she did not know that car
bolic acid is very unpleasant stuff to
take or else her rash determination to
do away with herself weakened after
she took sip from the vial, for it
developed afterwards that only small
amount was swallowed.
She was found in the court by a
passerby, and the police took her to the
West Side hospital. DR.. Paine said her
most serious hurt was the burning of
her lips. She will be able to be about
in a couple of days.
She was very attractively dressed,
part of her attire being red-laced OK
ford ties. Two packages of cigarettes
We're found on her person.
