Railroads Feel Confident
of Heavy Shipments.
PACKAGE FREIGHT IS VERY HEAVY
Business Being Handled With Less
Expense Owing to Better Equip
ment on All Lines.

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 21.-With the
exception of grain, little surplus freight
is in transit or awaiting shipment
yet western railroad officials are quite
confident that conditions will remain
satisfactory owing to an uninterrupt-
ed demand for necessities. The equip
ment of all roads is kept busy, and
the number of empty cars available is
not greater than is needed. The volume
of merchandise moving is less than
a year ago. but this is beneficial as
prompt transmission and delivery is
facilitated, much to the satisfaction of
shippers and cOnSignees.
The only complaint comes from the
southwest, where the floods did so
much damage last spring, but the sit
uation there is not nearly SO bad as
pictured by some of the complaints.
General prosperity in that section
keeps the roads busy. Miscellaneous
package freight is heavier than a year
ago. During the last few weeks a large
percentage of it has been made up of
holiday goods of a better and costlier
kind than has been going into the west
a good movement of other kinds of
high class goods.
In the west and northwest this condi-
ton is not quite so pronounced, al
though it does not necessarily mean
that the farmers and others are not
as prosperous as those in the south
west. There is a good healthy demand
emanating from the first named Sec
ton, but there is a disposition to hold
off temporarily until the financial sit
uation becomes clearer Regardless
of this fact traffic men say they are
we'll satisfied with the showing their
roads are making. The demand for
staples represents actual necessities,
yet it is sufficient to keep cars pretty
well employed.
Most of the equipment now in use
on the principal lines is of a greatly
larger carrying capacity than year
ago, so that the business being handl-
ed is at a less expense than at that
time. Nearly all roads are operating

clean-cut way that never permits the
interest to flag moment. There are
no unnecessary words, no long drawn
out speeches to tire, or retard the act
ion. The dialogue is crisp, incisive and
to the point.
A young city man, admires Anna
Moore, country girl. He deceives
her with mock marriage. After a
time he deserts her. A child is born
which dies. The grief-stricken girl
tries in vain to get employment in a
village where she is not known. She
wanders into the country and just as
hope seems gone, is taken into the
family Of Squire Bartlett" to help
round the house. Here she meets the
man who betrayed her. He is an hon.
ored guest, and is making love to the
squire's niece. He attempts to drive
Anna away but fails. David, Squire
Bartletts son, falls in love with her,
but a part of her secret is exposed,
and she is driven out into the raging
snow storm. Before leaving she tells
the whole truth, denounces the william,
and is followed into the night by the
faithful David.
OF course she is found and saved,
and all ends we'll for everybody except
the william.
The four scenes are most beautifully
staged and form a frame of much at
Effectiveness for this exceptionally
strong play.
