NEW CHECKING SYSTEM.
New and Convenient Order Went Into Effect Yeaterday.

New and Convenient Order went Into Effect Yesterday.
 The new order of General Passenger Agent Stone of the Louisville and Nashville in regard to the checking of
 baggage went into effect yesterday morning. Baggage can now be check
 ed from one's residence instead of hav- ing to wait and check 1t at the union
 station baggage room.
 A local transfer company has had
 built under the shed south of the bag
 gage room a commodious office In
 which one of their men attends exclu-
 sively to the checking of baggage from
 residences by phone. This great con
 venience to the public applies so far
 only to the Louisville and Nashville
 Railroad, but 1t is thought that 1t is
 only a question of time before all of the roads entering Montgomery will
 adopt the innovation.
 Holiday travel has set in in earnest now and railroad men say that it is
 unusually heavy both suburban and
 through Every suburban train com
 ing into Montgomery yesterday morn ing was crowded to more than the ca pacity of the coaches.
 Yesterday afternoon every suburban
 train going out carried extra coaches to accommodate the overflow of the morning, the extra coaches being all we'll filled. Last night train No. go- ing to New Orleans was run in two
 sections-the regular travel was sur
 prisinely heavy and the homeseekers' business sent out by Passenger Agents Ely of the Southern Pacific and Wood
 of the Louisville and Nashville made the extra section a necessity.

desires and opinion than can be ob- tained through any other source.
 Now, therefore, we, the bankers of Arizona, in annual convention assem- bled, do declare that 99 per cent of our population are strenuously oppos- ed to joint statehood. Believing that the people of Arizona are well fitted for self government and that justice will ultimately be done and Arizona be admitted to the union as a separate state, We ask that we be allowed to re- main as We are-our present boundar- ies kept intact until our eastern breth- ern are better acquainted with our re- sources and capabilities.
 Resolved, That We are unalterably opposed to joint statehood or to any division of our territory.
 Resolved, That this preamble and resolution be sent to our correspond ents. clients and customers, with the earnest request to each one to endorse our views as coming from an impar- tial, unbiased, conservative source, and We ask you to present the same to your senators and congressman, and urge upon them the injustice to Arizona of d forced union with New Mexico.
 It will be observed that the bankers have spoken in behalf of every tax paying and producing interest in the territory.

Marston, who is better known by her stage name. Florence Stanley.
 The runaway occurred at a point on the road about half mile this side Of Mormon Flat. A telephone box Ie located there and it IS the custom of the driver of the stage to telephone into, Fish Creek the number of people he is carrying on his stage who will want dinner when that station was reached. As the driver got off to tel ephOne he handed the lines to the man who was riding in the seat with him. This gentltman was no g sooner left alone than he tied the lines to the brake beam and kc too got off the stage.
 While on the ground and with no one hold of the lines the team hitched to the stage took fright and started to run. Ahead in the road was second stage, another section of the Consolidated company's vehicles, which the runaway team attempted to pass. Tn doing so they crossed a gully and the wagon was upset, throwing the occupants Of the same to the ground but stopping the runaway horses. Mrs. Marston fell in sucn manner as to receive a severe cut on the forehead, not, however, of serious nature. The other occupants of the outfit, two ladies and three men, were uniEjured other than shocks to their nerves and a few bruises.
 The wagon was soon put in shape and the trip continued. At Fish Creek Dr. Palmer met the stage and dressed the injury of Mrs. Marston. The party then continued it's journey to Roosevelt and arrived there shortly after S:15 last. evening. On one of the two stages were Stratton Copeland, c. F. Berger and wife, O. Butterfield, Nick McCauley and MT. and Mrs. Marston, but it is not known how many of that party were on the stage that was upset. They were to have appeared in Roosevelt last evening but their performance was postponed un- til tonight

sanitarium stating flor twenty-eight years we have successfully treated cancer without the use of the knife" It claims further it ''is the only insti- tuition in the world where cancer and tumors (that are accessible) are per manently cured" In its news col umns the paper gives the result of the research made by the Harvard medi- cal college cancer commission. using a fund of $1OO,00O left to Harvard for this purpose. The conclusion of the commission is that ''the only reliable cure for cancer is the knife. There is no other known cure except in the mildest cases, when the N-ray some times succeeds" The conclusion reached by science after the most eH- haustive investigation with ample means nullities the claims of the sani- tarium. Should the paper have print ed it? To ask the question is to an swer it. Everybody except the propri etors of the sanitarium will unhesitat- ingly answer it should. Not to print it because of the injury it might do the advertiser would forfeit the papers claim to the public confidence and de- stroy it's usefulness as newspaper
 This is just one instance which shows that paper cannot afford to have it's policy shaped by advertisers.

Tt is sorrowful thing, but the evidence is pretty clear that the sen ate does not want, and does not mean to have. an effective arbitration treaty with Great Britain,' says the New York Evening Post, after the senators had turned down President Roosevelt and Secretary Hays pro- duction. Ut Is with that country that the pinch comes. About the oth- CT treaties, the Irish societies in this country which have been besieging the senate, openly and secretly, did not care straw: it was only the English treaty that they were determined should never be ratified in form really promising efficiency. And its notification has been accomplished by the same method-assassin amend mcnt--that was used to do to death the original Olney- -Pauncefote treaty of arbitration. The senate fumbled for long time discussing one mur. derous amendment after another.

Speaking of the rate bill. a WIT

Speaking of the rate bill. n writer in q New York paper gives the following incident as one of many that has brought forth the measure: Railroads were so great a boon to this country at thr outset that no regulation was thought of. They were welcomed especially by the smaller towns and cities. which were the first to suffer ry the facilities they offered for people ;a do their shopping in the big centers of population. They were welcomed by the farmers. who, in many parts of the country. had no other means of ac- cess to markets. But score of years had uGt passed when the seamy side Q. railroad management came into the light. Probably the worst of the old lines was the Camden and Amboy. which secured an absolute monopol! of the railroad communication between the greatest centers of population in fine country. and abused it unscrupu lously. As Henry c. Carey. then a resident of Burlington. Y. T.. showed. i ihe directors carried on a large busi- mss in peach growing on their own account. took their own peaches to market free. or nearly so. and charged prohibitive rates on those of other peo. ple. When a line from Philadelphia to Brooklyn was attempted by connec
 ticns with a seashOre line. the courts stepped in and ordered that two yard. of it should l.e taken up The state derived a large revenue from thi:
 monopoly. and the two cities a good deal more than paid it.
