STORY OF PROSPERITY
REPRESENTATIVES, OF RAILROADS
BEFORE THE TAX BOARD.
H. & O. S. w. Has Reduced Operating
Expenses the Past Year-Wabash
Wants a Reduction.

The State Board of Tax Commissioners
had another session with the railroads yes
terday. To-day and tomorrow will be de-
voted to hearing the representatives of
steam railways and the board will then
take up the assessment of telephone COM
panies, telegraph and express companies,
etc.
1t was a story of prosperity that the rep
resentatives of railroads related to the COM
missioners yesterday, although the agents
Of the big corporations came to ask that
their taxes be reduced. OF all the railway
representatives that have appeared before
the board up to this time the representative
of the B. & o. Southwestern is the only
one that has said to the board that oper-
ating expenses have been reduced. This
statement was made yesterday. 1t is claimed
that the operating expenses of the B. & o.
s. W. have In the last year been reduced,
a fact that is attributed to the improve
ments which the road has completed in
southern Indiana in the way of cutting out
curves, making tunnels and otherwise
changing the grade. Figures show that the
gross earnings of the road in the last year
have been s7,945, s0S09. The increase in net
earnings per mile has been $50. All of the
price of material and the wages. Of employees
have increased. freight rates have gone no
higher. The B. & o. S. w. was represented
by John c. Walber. Of Cincinnati, the road
tax agent
The Michigan Central and its different
branches were represented by r. M. Shaw.

include the East Chicago Belt Railroad,

auction of the taxes its line running
between Montpelier and Chicago. This par

| sioners was called to the fact that thu
| road runs through a swampy part of tn
! state and that il touches no county seat

or eight miles of track-runnins out OF Peru

ANTI-TREAT CRUSADE.
Bartenders Will Not Hereafter Drink
with Customers.


The bartenders of Indianapolis have made
a forward move by declaring against drink
ing while on duty. Hereafter customers
can be perfectly safe in asking bartenders
TO have a drink with them. 1t is now con-
sidered an inexcusable offense to drink be-
hind the bar or to hand out drinks on the
house. The proclamation will be Endorsed
at a meeting Of the union tomorrow night
and the anti-treat crusade will then begin.
The system is one that Is now In use in
Jersey City, N. j. :,
President Bradley of the local union Is
heading the movement. He thinks that
bartenders not only injure their health but
also the business by trying to be good fell
lows. No drunkards are allowed to belong
to the union. Every candidate must show
that he is of good moral character and
strictly honest before he is admitted
About thirty names will be considered for
membership at the meeting Tomorrow
night Another feature of the meeting will
be the formation of plans to boom w. ].

Carlton denied that the colored man
had any change due him, and the two
men again became involved in dispute,
each insisting in the most emphatic man
ner that the other was in error. Carlton
finally said that he did not even have

to pull out all his money and show it to
his troublesome passenger. Hill thrust his
right hand into one of his pockets and
