Rock Island Road to Restore
Regular Service on the
Gable Branch.
PREPARING A NEW TIME GARD
Will Be Good News to the Patrons in
the towns Along the
Line.

a new time card in preparation by
the officials of the Rock Island road
is understood to provide for the
restoration of the train on the Cable
branch abandoned during the summer
months.
1t is explained that this train
nothing but combination freights
and passengers are operated on the
branch-was discontinued because the
traffic, which consists mostly of coal
from the Cable and Sherrard mines,
did not justify the company in run
ming three trains daily each way
through the hot months.
With the approach of cold weather
and consequent increase in the output
at the mines, the company states that
it can see its way clear to provide the
service that was heretofore enjoyed
by its patrons on the branch. The
train taken off "a few months ago ar
rived here at 500 in the morning and
returned at $3.50 in the afternoon, af-
fording people who live in the towns
along the branch an opportunity to
do their shopping in the city and be
be back home the same day.
The train kept i'll service arrives
and departs at inconvenient hours,
one leaving at 5:45 a. m. and return
ing at > p. M, and the other coming
in at 1885 a. IN. and returning at z
p. m.

when the air is shut off the brakes
will loosen on the engine and front
cars a little before it does on the rear
end of the train, which causes the
front part of the train to bound for

breaks the train in two.
The straight air, which works only
on the engine and tender, prevents

than the back of the train and does
not allow the slack to be taken out
with jerk, but more gradually. The
straight air win be an advantage in
many other ways, and especially in

much of the jerking motion in stop

So long as the Republican party
remains in power in the United

for the planters TO establish a re.
fnery in Hawaii and try
to sell refined sugars on the
Mainland. The mighty trust
has the mainland market and the
maitland people in the hollow OF its
hands; and it is backed up by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the Republican
party. The millions that Hswaiian
planters, might hurl against the
trust would be like rain drops on the

The Friend deplores the establish
ment of so many beer saloons on the
plea that every saloon "oreates" a
certain amount of business and that
a superauity OF saloons msans more
drinking. There are bad and good
things to be said about tbs beer
license scheme, but the chief argu-
ment against them is that the low
license fee has admitted into the
business q number of cheap concerns
that must scramble for trade. 1t is
that class that "creates" drinking
and drinkers, and does the harm. II
seems to us that better law would
have been one providing a uniform
license oi $500 for the sale OF any
kind Of liquors aud to be located
within any part OF the city upon
consent OF the neighboring resi-
dents.
