TRANSPORTATION OF FREIGHT BY
ELECTIC LINES.

TRANSPORTATION OF FREIGHT By
ELECTIC LINES.
Electric traction is becoming ,
recognized factor in the transporta
ton Of freight for short distances
During the past few years this in
dustry has increased very rapidly
and many rural communities
throughout the country depend al
most entirely upon the electric
railroads for the transportation OF
their products to nearby markets.
The development of this branch
Of electric transportation has ap-
parently assumed greater pro-
portions in the Middle Western
States than in any other part OF
the country, although there are ex-
amples of it 10 practically all parts
of the United States.
Electric lines are also used to
some extent as "feeders" to steam
railroads, hauling the loaded
freight cars Of the latter from the
junction of the two roads to COM
munities many miles distant by
means of an electric motor. After
the cars are emptied freight des.
tined for points on the steam rail-
road, or points on some one Of Its
connecting lines, is then loaded
into these cars, which are again
delivered to the steam railroad. In
almost all cases the management
of the electric road is entirely indie
pendent of that of the steam road.
The Importance of electric lines
as freight carriers must be con-
sidered, as yet, to be very slight,
but there are individual instances
of really remarkable development;
and several lines give the territory
through which they operate service
to that given by the
steam railroads, carrying prac-
tically all commodities offered,
either in carload or less than car.
load lots.
In many cases farming districts
adjacent to cities are served by
electric lines; garden truck, milk,
aud livestock are carried to market
in freight or express cars, while
The farmer procures his supplies
from the city in the same manner. !
The freight equipment of differ
INT roads, of course, varies greatly. |
Where the business is small, a
passenger aud bag
rage car often meets the reqaire-
nents, while there are many roads
which are able to meet all demands
or freight transportation with one
" two box or fiat cars. There are
Instances, however, whore the
reight equipment is very large,
as high as ninety freight
airs for single road, and includ-
ng box, fiat, and combination cars.
Freight rates vary between differ
mt roads for like distance. When
n electric line parallels a steam
Dad it generally bases its rates
pom those of the steam line. The
fRcial classification used by the
team railroads in the territory
asst of Lake Michigan, Chicago,
nd the Mississippi River, and
orth of the Ohio and the Potomic
ivers to the Atlantic seaboard, is
sed to some extent, by electric
mes in this territory for the pur-
ose of classifying their freight.

Indigestion Causeo
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years It has been supposed that
Catarrh Of the Stomach caused indigestion
md dyspepsia. but the truth Is exactly tho
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks Of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves Of the stomach, thus caus-
Ing the glands to secrete mucin instead Of
the juices Of natural digestion. This 10
called Catarrh Of the Stomach.

It was no longer the dead Romeo, but John Davis, cool and determined, as she had never seen him, who frightened his grasp and urged, Say yes, and I'll let you go!'

for Romeo, a week ago she would have said he was superb.
 The house filled early, for the associa- tion had eonscientiously sold twice as
 many tickets as there were chairs. As the play progressed and the house grew more enthusiastic, the players respond ed to the encouragement of a sympa- thetic audience, and did better than they had ever done at the rehearsal
 To be sure Mercutio's sword, made of
 Chinese coins, fell to pieces with the challenge, Come, sir, your passado!" ! but he had slipped it into his pocket so
 deftly that the nishap had not been
 generally noticed, and the moon, which
 was 9 lantern supported on the step adder by Tom Harper, wabbled when ever Tom started giggling, but these
 were mere trifles.
 On the whole the play was going we'll and the players were outdoing them-
 selves. There was no hitch either with the scenery or the actors, every line ! was spoken so glibly that the promp- ter's voice was completely drowned. Amy was breathing long, deep breaths Of relief. for she had main tained that if everything did not go off smoothly she should die of mortified. ton, and when at last Mercntio was
 safely laid she felt safe, for she had been more anxious about him than in regard to any of them.
 Under the stress of excitement Amy lost herself, when she was on the stage, lin the passion of Juliet. Her eyes shone verify like 1.-two of the fairest stars" and when, in her earnestness, Eshe leaned near and looked into Ro- smeo's eyes with radiance that glowed even through the grease paint, assuring { him, My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep he swore to him- self that Amy was adorable.
 Every time the curtain rang down the house resounded with applause, and the actors consequently felt pleased with themselves and all the world. Romeo and Paris did their duel scene valiantly, and after Romeo, having quaffed his poison, lay dying comforta- bly-and he managed to faii on a cush- ion-Juliet glided across the stage with her T will kiss thy lips. Happily some poison yet doth hang on them.
 , As she bent low over the prostrate Ro- meo to suit the action to the words, the page, young, Tom Harper, and Friar Laurence saw the dead man make a. sudden movement, and Juliet found herself held in a very substantial grasp.
 She had not counted On the rtvivify- ing effect her kiss might have on the, stark Montague, and she reached for his dagger to utter the lines she had been eager to reach throughout the. evening. ts.4
 The house had rung for weeks past with her last agonies of grief; she had become so mbued with her role that her slightest tones and most commonplace remarks were thrilled with a tragic tremor; she had worn herself almost ill practicing for the death scene, and she felt with a pardonable pride that this was her crowning piece of work.
 And now Romeo, incorrigible beyond all belief, who had done his own death scene splendidly and won the applause, detained her The watch within began to get uneasy, the prompter's voice rang out in impatient tones and there

 An1y's fears that something might go wrong, that some one might forget his lines, or be seized with stage fright, were somewhat allayed when she saw how the crucial test affected her.
 She was perfectly composed, knew every line forward and backward and felt sserenely confident she was going to acquita herself as the president lof the East End Amateur Dramatic club should.
 She had, in fact, so far recovered from the despair of few minutes be- fore that she had asked an out-of. town manager to be present with a view to trying her fortune on the stage.
