LOADED CAR MOVEMENT OF-NEARLY
10000 IN OCTOBER.
Between Fast Freight Lines
I'm Rates I'm Thirty-TwO Years.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at Indianapolis In
October the largest tonnage of any montn
since these records have been published, or
for thirty-one years, and while there was
an increase in the number of loaded cars
handled there has been an increase In car
capacity which swells the total tonnage
fully 20 per cent. additional In October
there were handled at Indianapolis by the
fifteen lines a total of 1869 cars. .249 be-
ing loaded. The largest record in any
previous month was lO6,6S1 in October. 1901;
in 1900 1856 loaded cars were handled; 1899
102 IA; 1898. 1O3 9OS: 1897 1885, 1896. 1851 In
1886 the loaded car movement was the
smallest Of any October in many previous
years. In October, 1902. the empty car
movement was quite large owing to the
heavy movement of coal, cars being empty
one way. The per diem plan has increased
the empty car movement somewhat, put
not to the extent expected. 1t is stated that
some of the roads prefer to keep the cars
after the time limit and pay the per diem
penalty, and some cases are reported where
the roads have after holding cars twenty
nine days turned them over to some other
road and thus escaped the 81 penalty for
holding cars thirty days. Indications are
that November will exceed October in
loaded car movement providing the roads
are able to furnish cars to move the traffic
In sight AS yet the corn and cotton crops
nave not begun to move to any great ex-
tent, miscellaneous freights giving employ
ment to all cars that can be furnished.
one or the noticeable things of october
traffic was the heavy movement of lumber
from the South to Northern cities. There is
scarcely any article known to classification
that was not handled in October.

ty-nine to 116 gives the Democrats 165. The
Democrats show they have made gain
of three in Pennsylvania, one in Nebraska,
one in Delaware, one in Wisconsin, two in
Maryland, one in Colorado and probably
four in New York, swelling the total TO 17S.
This leaves them sixteen short of a major

districts in the North and West from which
the returns are as yet inadequate as fol-

Returns at o'clock add one Democrat in
New Jersey, one in Minnesota, one in Illi-

a total of six. But two of the gains
credited to the Democrats in Pennsylvania
should properly be set down as fusion Re-

Through Rates Decreasing.

The statement that rates upon railroads
are increasing slowly is readily disproved
by few figures. Freight charges form no
small cost of an article. The cheaper these
charges may be the cheaper becomes the
cost of the article carried. From Chicago
to New York the standard of basing rates
is adopted as one of the main points of
shipment from the West to New York.
Ihlrty-tWo years ago the average all-rail
charge In cents per bushel for wheat was
AZ cents. but the lake lines and the rail-
roads, being anxious to secure all possible
traffic, made reductions The cost of trans
portatfon began to fall with the sharp COM
petition of 1868, and the average cost per
bushel was reduced from year to year until
In 1901 the rates were as follows: All rail,
9.OS cents per bushel; all lake and rail- 5.57,
and lake and canal 5.4. From these COM
parisons 1t is shown that the rate of re-
duction has kept almost equal in the three
instances. By the way of the all-rail route
the percentage of decrease was 1859; for
lake and rail, S0.79. and for lake-canal route,
U45 In the export price of wheat the per-
centage of cost of transportation to export
price varies in the same ratio as the cost
by the three routes mentioned. Peoria, St.
Louis and indianapolis take proportionate
rate of the Chicago rate on both seaboard
and export business.

TASTE IN READING.

Very naturally readers of a
paper have different tastes. Here
is prosy, sedate brother who has
no use for the family page or the
young peoples department. Not
far from him is spasmodic. hur-
ried men who gets all out of
patience when he comes to an
article more than six inches long.
He judges merit by linear measure
ment. News from the churches
is looked upon by an occasional
reader as a sort of dress parade,
department kept up to crafty the
vanity of those who like to see
their names and achievements in
print. Thus it comes about that
publisher cannot hope to put out
a paper whose every page will
please every reader. 1t is useless
to quarrel about tastes. They are
here in great variety and persist
in making themselves known.
The editor must fill his paper very
much as landlord prepares his
table. He hardly expects each
guest to begin at the top of the
page and eat up the bill of fare
item by item. Carefully guarding
against offensive or poisonous
foods he selects wide variety to
meet the whims or tastes of all.
When you register on his book
and sit down to the table you
hardly consider that you have put
yourself under necessity of eating
a good portion from every dish
available. Perhaps also there are
articles in the paper you do not
greatly admire; perhaps another
reader is passionately fond of the
very column you skip. Granting
that his taste is not what it ought
to be, let US allow him at least one
column of reading stuff to his
fancy, while we pass on to some
thing we like better. He mus
have a chance, taste, a morsel
that will be sweet to him. These
are some of the consideration
which make it necessary to pu
into family paper wide variety
of reading matter.-Central

Railroad Talk.

At the city hall Tuesday afternoon
q meeting of business men was held
to hear and consider proposition
for railroad, which as contemplat-
ed, is to be projected from BroOkfield
Mo-, through the counties of Linn,
Charlton, Howard, Boone, Galloway,
and on to the M. X. & IT. at some
point east of Fulton. The PROPOSE
ton as explained by Thos. r. Ham
ilton, J. g. Gallemore, and w. b.
Palmer of Salisbury, is that COM
pany has already chartered, capita
lized at 100000, for building a
road 100 miles in length In the direc-
ton mentioned above. 1t has cost
the company over $500 to get u char
ter. Now they wish to make q
survey that will cost about $1,000,
and they estimate Columbia's por-
tion of this amount to be about $500,
since there are to be county seat
towns on the line. The limited num-
ber of citizens present thought
enough of the scheme to appoint
committee, consisting OF f. l..
Mitchell, s. F. Conley, j. L. Ball
enger, f. w. Smith, ]. G. Schwabe,
to solicit funds for the survey. The
Salisbury gentlemen, are energetic
business men who are working for
an outlet, and they have unbounded
faith in the concern. They say II
the survey shows the route practical
and not too expensive, eastern cap
ital stands ready to complete the
road. We hope to see the project
carried out. Already some of our
citizens have subscribed to an cleo
trio line proposed to run through
Columbia, hence the interest In the
newer project Ia not 80 great as 1t
would otherwise be.
