AFTER rHR PRIVATE CARS.

The railroad officials of the United
States, according to the Railway World,
are considering plan by which they
may acquire the parasitic" private
cars which are hauled by the railroad
companies at loss. The plan is to or
ganize an equipment company, with a
capital stock of at least s5,0O0,0O0, which
shall buy all the refrigerator cars and
cars of special types and operate them
in the interest of the railroads. 1t is
believed that the divided ownership of
cars hauled on the railroads is the
greatest evil affecting the country's
transportation system, and that the
railroads should own, or at least con-
troll, all the rolling stock used by them.
This solution involves the organization
of company which shall be owned Dr.
controlled by the railroads, and which
shall operate special type cars at a per
diem charge which will bring fair re-
turn on the money invested. 1t is the
purpose, says the World, to offer all
private car companies what is consid-
cred a good price for their equipment,
and if the offers are refused the rail-
road equipment company is to build it's
own cars.
1t is surprising that the railroad COM
panies have not sooner attacked the
private car system.

Few features of the strange lands of

ancient Oxus, which has been attempt

more than two and half centuries this

The Chicago Tribune figures it out
that we have had five serious railroad
disasters since the middle of October,
in which 90 persons have been killed
outright, 1856 persons seriously injured
ana many more slightly injured. That
makes a shocking record for scarcely
more than a single month.

The Lamar (MissourD Democrat,
wishing TO demonstrate the efficiency
of newspaper advertising, says: IF
there be any gentleman in Lamar who

let him insert an adj in this paper tell

apiece for house cats. We will give him
the space without charge, and if his
bank account doesn't look like 30 cents
before he gets through paying for the
cats the tad' brings. then we will agree
ever after, to advise merchants to stay

It IS solemnly related that farmer of
Wabash county, Illinois, owned a drove
of fifty fine blooded hogs. He turned
them loose last spring in a pasture to
SHIFT for themselves. They had to be
called back only for meals, and as the
farmer was weak voiced man, he hit
upon the plan of pounding with his
stick on board. The sound this pro-
Nduced meant corn to the porcine In
telligence. In the autumn they were
turned into a grove full of dead trees
IN which the woodpeckers found a hap
by hunting ground. No sooner were the
hogs left by themselves than a "rap-
rap-rap' sounded from the further side
of the inclosure. Off they scampered to
the promised banquet. 'Tap-tap-tap"
called them back to the starting point
before they were half across. "R-r-r-
rap came from an industrious redhead
in a third quarter. To make a long
story short, the hogs chased the wood
Deckers about the lot from morn to
noon, from noon to dewy eve, and with
the setting sun dropped in their tracks
from sheer exhaustion, never to rise
again.

The Plaindealer has been moved to
ID substantial stone building, The
former office was picturesque, but
she was derned chilly. We got tired
Of heating the entire city Of White
wood, SO we thought we would move
in some place where the said heat
could be confined to a limited space.
Under the floor Of the old Office
various cats were wont to carry on
their mad affairs and thus sidetrack
our train Of thought We killed the
one with the alto voice, but another
one promptly took his place in the
choir and the glad work went on.
We used to write along and whenever
we'd come to d period we'd pull our
six gun and murdera cat as he raised
his smiling face up thro' crack in
the floor. Neighbors got used to the
constant explosion Of firearms in the
Plaindealer office, but we never got
used to the condemned cats. Some
times we varied our program by
knocking the head off rattlesnake
that would raise his features up thru
a knot hole in the floor. In the old
Office we used to have to step easy
for fear Of disturbing the rest Of the
rattlers. Then we got tired Of build
ing bonfires under the press to keep
the old shebang warm that we might
run off the papers. Merritt Collins,
our printer, and the man who does
the work, while we do the heavy
standing around, is thus relieved Of
a-great deaf Of unnecessary labor.
