RAILROAD rARNrNcs IN ALABAMA.

RAILROAD EARNINGS IN ALABAMA.
 The table of statistics published below which has been carefully compiled from the reports of the several railroads named to the Railroad Commission for the year 1903. shows that there are 23.5s1 employees in Alabama and that they receive an average daily compen- sation of SITS. The railroads there- fore pay out daily In Alabama to their employees s4o.7oS.s3. monthly, $1,221,- 25s.so annually. s14.655.1o6.so. This money of course remains in Alabama and Is expended by these employees in the different communities where they reside. 1t Is estimated that the rail- roads received during that year ap- proximately, only s9,2ob.1s5.99 from their local trafic. and it will be seen to their employees s5.44s.9zo.S1 more money than they received from their domestic business. This excess was of course. paid out of the interstate earn ings. It should not be forgotten also, that these railroads buy. as fuel for tAeiI tHBbleS HI tnC GSAA hoheaA oAe trict large quantities of coal. and also buy steel rails. iron and other equip- ments. which amounts to many hum dreds of thousands of dollars. and to this should be added the cost of de- pots. etc. The railroads also pay about six hundred thousand dollars annually for State and county taxes. about $160,- 0o0.0o of this goes direct to the public school fund. and about s54.o0oo0 to the soldier tax. and the remainder $266,o00 into the general fund. They also pay about $13.o00 license tax which is used to defray the salaries and expenses of the railroad commission of the State. It should be remembered that all of this money remains in Alabama. and will cover approximately all the earnings | of the railroads in Alabama.
 These figures and facts should be given careful consideration by all those who are now studying the transporta- tion problem in this State. The table referred to Is as follows:

ton Irving's story has never had such an exponent as Mir. Jefferson was, and probably will not have. It may almost be said he created the character. for he altered and adapted 1t till 1t became one of the most delightful of all plays to the great masses of the people. Both in this country and in England he and Rip could always be sure of full houses wherever people loved good acting in the lighter vein. He and his conception of Rip Van Wrinkle have held the boards through the greater part of three generations and thous- ands of grayhaired theatre-goers will remember how his acting delighted them in their youthful days. and how his de1ineations never palled on them, Though he had passed the Psalmist's limitation of life he was always young to his audience. He has responded to his, last curtain call. and made up'' for the last time but the memory of him will finger in the minds and hearts of Americans. May he rest well.

Good Advice
 to Sick Women.
Mrs. George A. Hess Has Had Sum- cfent Experience to Give Advice.

"Just let me tell you what RexalI Mucu-Tone did for me-" write Mrs Hess of 96 Brown Place, Jersey City N. j., to Mir. E. G. Fowler.
 For five years had been growing more and more feeble. I was weak run down and nervous; suffered with pain in my back and side constantly, and was unable to obtain any relief whatever. It seemed as if my cup of trouble was already full when I was overtaken by catarrhal bronchitis and for five weeks was confined to my bed
 Nothing seemed to help me, and I was in deepest despair when neigh bor advised me to try Mucu-Tone. From the first dose I experienced re- lief. I succeeded in breaking up the attack completely within twenty-four hours, and at the end of a week I felt like a new woman. Today am in per- feet health; something I have not known for years. I therefore feel safe in advising all women who are nervous and broken down to buy a bottle of Rexall Mucu-Tone and take it as di- rected." V
 Mrs Hesss letter literally describes the ailments that many people in our own community are suffering from" said MT. E. G. Fowler. rIf you have these symptoms it means that some part of your system has been attacked by catarrh. One after another the or gans become deranged, the liver and kidneys are no longer able to purify the blood, and the heart becomes af- fected; sleeplessness, melancholia and despair follow. You grow weak and haggard, have pains in the back, under the shoulder blades, and bearing down pains in the lower abdomen. You have probably thought that you are merely run down and need tonic.
 "Yes, you are run down, you do need a tonic, but you need more than tonic, you need a remedy that will clean the mucous membranes. Rexall Mucu-Tone does that. No matter how slight your weakness or depression you need Mucu-Tone. No matter how bad your catarrh, Mucu-Tone will quickly cure it.
 Our confidence in Rexall Mucu-Tone is based on the knowledge of what this remedy has done in thousands of cases. We know it will benefit you. If 1t doesn't you come to our store and we will refund you the purchase price. We are putting out trial bottles on this guarantee at 50 cents." E. G. Fowler,

INFANT MORTALITY.

Tn line with an editorial in Sundays Advertiser the following from The Philadelphia Press is to tbe point. That paper was commenting on some arguments of Miss Anthony and Mrs. sewell relative to the decreased birth rate in the cities, and uses these illus trations;
 The supply of adults is short, not be- pause there are too few babies porn, Of every eGue four p0 babies eS born two s neves of every ten babies born dying before crease in population would be faster than 1t has been in our annals. It cent a year from the natural increase Slation. which now grcws about one; double from this cause in less than twenty years, instead of taking every

 Could there be anything more mis- SiTeeted than the sgitaton for more to prevent the death of half of those that are born now before they are grown up?
 Is not this arguing correctly? It is not so much production as it is con- servatism that is needed. We do not hesitate to admit that it might be bet for humanity if fewer children were brought into the world by very poor parents. In a multitude of cases such parents are not able to provide for their numerous offsprings properly or humanely. Especially is this true of the cities where life is a continuous struggle and where the environments are such that the infants of the poor are necessarily neglected and lilly pro- Rided for.
 And thls brings the argument back to inhumanity. if not actual criminal ity, when tine government of a city fails to take proper measures to pro- vide for the health of the inhabitants as well as provide against the poison ing of the babies with impure food and drink. Only think of 1000 babies dy- ing in Philadelphia in one year. most of them from preventable diseases, as The Press argues. Whether that dis 'creditable showing arises from parsi- mony or carelessness it is equally in- defensible. There is ample testimony to show that infant mortality can be largely reduced, and there can be no defense for failure to do it.

The Des Moines News favors the whjpping-post for "nagging wives" and The Portmouth Star rather agrees with the suggestion, but wants to know who will take the initiative? The husband will be afraid to report her and all others will hold that it is no business of theirs. so she will go on without the humiliating correction. But what is to be done with husbands who are worse than nagging wives? Shoot 'em?

Those Congressman who are prim- ing themselves for a Jamboree to the Philippines with all expenses and ct ceteras paid, have good cause to feel disgruntled at the announcement that only the actual travelling expenses, not even including Pullman cars. will be paid by the gov ernment. All other charges must be paid by the Congressman themselves. and we suspect that there will be some backing out on account of it. It will not be such a picnic as they expected

Cost Of War.

"The Cost of War" is the subject. of an uncommonIy and timely and telling paper by Charles J. Bullock in lhe April Atlantic. MT. Bullock considers cost in money and other values. of all the recent big wars of the world, and of military establishment in time of peace. It should open the eyes of good many American citizens to know that in the seven years ending June 30. 1904, the United States spent for mili- Bullock: in 1903 t6sFs was a hand; some surplus of $54.297,0O0, but in 1904 a slight decrease of revenue and large increase of outlay produced Q de- ficit of $42, ,000,0 During the fiscal year 1905 the deficit continues, and 1t Is now tolerably clear that our exist ing revenue system Is inadequate for the support of the national household in its present imperial state. Con- eoonomizing one in the appropriations for 1906, but finds itself committed to so many splendid undertakings that 1t is hard to decide where the pruning-kn shall be applied. There has been ex- travagance in so many directions that 1t may be possible, for a time, to re- duce expenditures somewhat below the level of 1904 and 1905; but, so long as existing policies are unchanged, we shall be saving at the sptgot and vast ing at the bung.

Development of the fact that the as- sessed valuation of property in the city does not make total sufficient to allow of the issuance of bonds in the sum of s100,000 for sewer building purposes has put this all important matter with reference to the health of the people of Bisbee in a new light.
 The question that now arises in most prominence is; Do the tax payers of Bisbee favor the raising of the $40,000 that is lacking of the s1 1.250,0 900 total assessed valuation by action of the City Council sitting as a board of equalization, provided that it may not be found that a sanitary sewer may be built for an amount within the means of the city as the as sessment roll now stands?"
 The interviews published in the Re view during the last two weeks. gath cred at random among business peo- pie and workingmen (tax-payers) of the town, have demonstrated an al most unanimous demand for building of a sewerage system with all possi- ble celerity. Of the large number of people who have been interviewed, all but one have expressed strong favor for municipal ownership. But one man has expressed himself as op- posed to the immediate building of sewerage system, at the same time de claring himself against bond issue in the sum of $100. .00O. because he did not believe it would be sufficient to build a sewer. One other man has expressed himself against the bond is- sue because he did not believe it would provide money enough to build the sewer
 As matters stand, it is up 10 the council to say whether there shall be opportunity given the people to vote on a bond issue or not. An increase of s400 in the amount of actual cash paid in increased taxes will make up the difference of s40,000 on the as sessment roll. There are over 400 property taxpayers in the city. D- vided pro rata among them the in creased payments would be less than s1 each.

Attorney Powers said:

Attorney P0WerS said:
 About issuing or not issuing bonds, will make no statement. On the subject of a sewer I am willing to speak, for this is a very serious ques- tion in Bisbee today.
 No one can deny the great need of a sewer nor can they deny that it would be the best possible thing for the city and prove a good investment in ridding the city of all the filth and in the alleys.
 Not being a physician, could not state positively the amount of good a sewerage system would do, but com mon sense would convince any man that the health of the city in general is bound to be very much improved by sewer installation. In my opinion, the danger from the typhoid fever as well as other diseases would be very materially lessened by this move.
 "A sewerage system and a good one is a crying necessity here. Every man is in danger. No one is safe from the ravages of disease while con- ditiOns remain as at present. The parents of the city should, if possible, do something about the matter for the mere protection of their children if nothing else. The sewer will have to be installed some time. and am one of those who believe that there is no time like the present.
 ''I can offer no suggestion as to what to do to improve the city's sanitary condition if the sewerage system is not put in. hope to see Bisbee in first rate sanitary condition with in year, at any rate"

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together. and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced it a local disease and pre- scribed local remedies. and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu- tional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Ca tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & O., Toledo Ohfo> is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses | from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.

Mayor Taylor had the following to say yesterday:
 "Of course, am in favor of the sew CT bond issue, but at the present we are unable to move in the matter on accouot uf the shortage in the city as- sessue7f We are simply waiting now see how that matter will final Y turn cut before. we take it up fur ther.
 ''Yes. ] believe ;he sewer will give the people a mere healthy town to live in. and I believe that typhoid will be almost entirely done away with.
 "Tn ny opinion there is nothing that can bn dOne to help the present coRdi- ton of affairs except through provis- ion of sewer. 4 great many people, as ! se- by the interviews published in tha Review, suggest a more con- plete scavenger system. I do not think that will ever work. however. Many houses here are built on the sides Of the hills in such position that a road can not be built up othem. and in most cases it would be an ex. tremely hard matter for the scaven- ger to collect the accumulated stops and filth. Why, the cost of hired help in one year would almost pay the in- terest on the bond issue.
