RAILROAD BUSINESS
SIG TRAFFIC ON L. AND N. BAN
 NER DIVISION.
The Freight and Passenger Earn ings for November Between Mobile and Montgomery
 ShoWs an Increase.

If the other divisions of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad shows the same Increase that the Mobile and Montgom- cry division does. the annual statement next year will be the best ever made.
 From Montgomery south in round num- hers 5000 loads of freight were handled during November as compared with 4,OOO loads for the same month of 1902 A good .nart of this business was handled in 1O0.- M capacity cars. and this is one of the
 ko divisions of the Louisville and
 shville system that handles these big
 s. It took eighteen of the biggest
 ight engines on the system to handle
 business. and even then they were
 mped at times to dispose of the t-e-
 ndous business which meant an in-
 sase of 20 per cent.
 n the passenger department of the Dbile and Montgomery division even a
 cater increase Is shown, the volume of isiness being something enormous.
 3The total earnings of the passenger ains between Montgomery and Mobile yr the month of November was in round tambers $63.O0O as compared with $48OOO or the same month of 1902, an increase of MI. 900. The average earning of each train Hfor November was $195 as over $145 for the same month of 1902. an increase of $50 per train.
 The heaviest earnings of any one train was on train No. 3, which leaves for the south at 9:S5 p. m.. $4S2 for November as over S3O1 for the same train in No vember, 1902. Of course this train has the advantage of two heavy connections, the one from St. Louis. Chicago and Cincinnati and the one from New York and the East, but even without that the local travel is very heavy.
 The total earnings of the trains on the Alabama and Florida brarch-GTaceviiIe to Georgiana-was 5000 az over 5000 for the month of November. 1902, and has doubled itself.

AN OLD SAYING.
Showing How Cause and Effect Are
 Never Far Removed.

It is an old saying, Where there's honey there's bees'-not less true is one which science has coined more recently, Where there's Dandruff there's germs and-to push the inference still further we may truly say. Where there's Dan drum cured Newbro's Herpicide has been at work
 The reason of Herpicide's isolation as q genuine cure for Dandruff lies in the fact that 1t attacks and destroys the root of the whole trouble-a parasitic germ which feeds upon the material which nourishes the hair follicle.
 Other so-called remedies are not direct ed at this true cause of the disease.

Opening the door they found two tramps white man and a negro. The white man said that they were trying to get to the races in New Orleans and refused to get out. When the negro was asked what he was doing there. and how he intended to get to New Orleans. he pulled a 45 calibre revolver and with the words, This is how am going,'' shot Wachter twice.
 Wachter fell on the floor of the car and the negro threw his arms around Cooper who was trying to get his pistol.

Notes and Parsnnala.

Official returns to the Railroad Gazette from all but two car building plants in the United States show that 15S,SO8 cars were built in 1903. As to the two firms from which nothing has been heard turn out less than 1000 cars. their output is estimated and added to the above total These figures include all freight and pas senger cars built for railroads, exclu- sive of those built by the railroads al their own shops. and exclusive of those built for street and other service. Last year the total number of cars built was 164.547.

for the use Of telephones that il
might see fit.
This Missouri and Kansas Tele-
phone Company is a part of the
Bell Telephone monopoly, and as
we all know, has millions at its
command, and the purchase Of the
local exchange in Chickasha, even
at high price, would bd but a
drop in the bucket should this ordi-
nance they are now seeking to
have passed become a law. They
could then operate under this ordi-
nance and could charge whatever
they saw fit, which they would
doubtless do, and thus create a
burden upon the people of Chick
asha.
think the foregoing article will
give the citizens Of this city and
the city council, food for reflection
and will give them something to
think about before consenting to
the passage of an ordinance like
the one now before the council. If
the council sees fit, in its wisdom,
to grant a franchise to the Missouri
and Kansas Telephone Company,
they should see to it that it does
not grant it a franchise that is
more liberal than the one under
which the Topeka & FL Reno
Telephone Company, is now
operating, as that franchise gives
the city the power to regulate and
to levy such taxes as they may see
fit, that are legal and not un-
just.
There is another thing that I
wish to call attention to, that is the
annoyance caused to subscribers to
two telephone systems. When a
phone rings and you are in the
some room, you cannot distinguish
what system to answer, and the re-
suit is three times out Of four you
20 to the wrong phone and BY the
time you get to the right one, the
party calling is gone and you loose
both time and patience and are apt
to say things that otherwise you
would not.
Respectfully,

After his luncheon with President
Roosevelt last month, Sir Thomas
Upton took stroll through the
capitol at Washington. The guide
made no exception in the case Of
Sir Thomas. and pointed out to
him. as do guides to all other sight
seers, the relative positions of the
statues Of Columbus and Washing
ton. Columbus is represented as
holding a sphere and Washington
a short distance away with out
stretched hand. Then the guide
said what other guides have said
and will continue TO say: Would
MT think that they were the original
ball players Of America"
Upton looked and thought a mo-
ment, Then he said; Columbus
should be the patron saint of Amer
ican baseball. In arguing for the
spherical shape of the earth, he
proved himself the greatest Of ball

nicious as giving them rights and
exempting them from taxation
which is not accorded to any other
firm or corporation in the city.
While it is true the franchise pro-
vides for four free phones, yet the
use Of these four free phones does
not compensate the city for the
right TO use the streets and alleys
for their poles and wires. The
four, free phones are not too much
for the city to receive free for the
use Of its streets and alleys without
exempting this company from the
taxes which they desire to avoid
plying by section 6 of their ordi-
nance.
9th. It does not give the said
city Of Chickasha any right to ex-
ercise police control or supervision
over the poles, wires etc. of this
company,
In this connection, wish to
state that there should be inserted
in section 2, the following words:
This grant is made and is to be
enjoyed subject to such reasonable
regulations and ordinances of a
police nature as said city council is
authorized and sees proper at any
time to adopt"
If this provision is inserted in
this ordinance, it will then give the
city council right to control the
height of poles and the height the
wires should be from the ground,
whether or not they should place
the wires in conduits underground
and if the council should see fit to
levy a poll tax on each pole used
by the various telephone companies
and telegraph companies in the
city, they will be at liberty to do
50, and the right to do this by city
councils has been upheld by the
United States Supreme Court.

part Of the Bell Telephone MonoP-
oily and having millions at its COM
mand, in case il should crush or
buy out the present telephone com
pany, it could operate under this

saves. people from three to six times
that wouldn't it be an eco

A telephone in your house or

would cost you not less than ten
