THEATER MEN EVEN UP.
Adopt No Free Pass Rule to Railroad
Officials.

Chicago, Jan. 8.-Railroad men are
being treated now to some anti-pass
medicine themselves, and they find it
quite bitter For a great many years
one of the cherished perquisites of pas
senger officials has been a place at the
head of the theatrical free list From
the head of the passenger department
down to the messenger boy in the city
ticket Office they secured passes to
theaters almost without limit. Some
times the vice presidents of railroads
took advantage of the passenger man S
power and had the best seats at the
best shows, without dispensing any
cash. It was a rule of the railroad
men never to ask for less than two
seats for any performance, and some
of them were not restrained by BASH
fulness from asking fer boxes and tax
ing their friends to the theater.
It is different now. On the first of
the year the eastern roads, following
the lead of the Pennsylvania, informed
the theatrical men that in future they
could not give them any reduced rates
or free transportation, and probably
would revoke the old time party rate"
rule under which theatrical parties Sc
cured a rate CT ? cents per mile.
The theatrical managers held a con-
ference and agreed to deal with the
railroads on the same cold blooded
business basis. When a certain gener-
al passenger agent sent messenger to
a local theater one day last week with
a modest request for four tickets for
Saturday night, the answer was: I'VE
have adopted an anti-pass rule, and
hereafter can not give you any free or
reduced rate tickets

PIPE LINE TERMINUS.
Oil Refneries to Be Located at
Kimmswiclx. Below St. Louis.

st. Louis, Jan. S.=The Cudahy Pipe
Line company, a New Jersey. corpora
ton, controlling vast oil fields in
southeastern Kansas and Indian terri
tory, and an avowed antagonist of the
Standard Oil company, is planning a
terminus of its pipe lines and the loca-
ton of large refineries at Eimmswick
twenty miles below St. Louis on the
Mississippi river and the Iron Noun
tain railroad.
Plans are being considered for the
establishment at Kimmswick of both
river and railway tank line service for
carrying both crude and refined oil.
Extensive river wharfage and railroad
frontage has already been purchased
for this purpose. The company has
purchased ample land there for locat-
ing refineries equal in capacity to any
in the country.
Twenty-Five acres of land known as
Windsor harbor, adjoining the town of
Kimmswick, was bought during the
week from John E. Love, of st. Louis.
This includes the old brick mansion
erected forty years ago and known as
1.-THE Castle" and several cottages Oc-
cupied by prominent St. Louisans as a
summer resort. The land has a river
frontage of half a mile, and a harbor
adequate for extensive barge lines.
Other land adjoining Mr.. Loves prop
erty has also been bought from c. H.

TALKS OF PROHIBITION.
B. Cushing. Of Maine, Says
Law Works Wen There.

1--WE have a commission of three
members. appointed by the governor,
in Maine and they must attempt to
enforce the law in all places where
the local authorities have failed. This
commission is directly responsible to
the governor. It has the power of
prosecuting, and can exercise the
right of search and seizure
In this manner Volney B. Cushing,
of Bangor. Me, told of the only sa-
lient point in which the prohibitory
laws of Kansas and Maine differ. Mr..
Cushing is one of the noted temper
ance advocates of the United States.
He made two addresses in Topeka on
Sunday, one at the First Presbyterian
church and one at the Second Pres
bvterian church in North Topeka.
THE law is working excellently,
said Mr.. Cushing, land with TINS ad-
ditional help we are getting results
Mr. Cushing does not believe that
Maine will ever resubmit the law and
defeat it. He thinks it has come to
stay in Maine and Kansas. and that
Iowa will soon join the ranks. In his
lecture Mr.. Cushing said, in part:
you will not find liquor signs in
Maine. These outward symbols of the
liquor traffic are absent from the
streets of Maine. That is good
thing. A liquor sign suggests a drink
A man may be going along the street
with no thought of a drink: he may
be thinking of his family or Of his
business but if he look up and see
a sign: old Kentucky Mountain Dew
or the Beer that Made Milwaukee
Famous or Wilson High Ball, 1t
makes his mouth water and perhaps
he goes in and takes drink These
suggestions are not seen in Maine and
that is good thing, as far as II goes.
Throughout a very large part OF the
state there are no open saloons
There may be men selling secretly. but
no open places. We have had Illicit
liquor shops in some cities and towns.
They did not put out any signs, but
sign there might be a bar where men
could buy liquor with more or less
freedom There may be a few places
of that sort now, but the law is gen
eraIIv enforced all over the common
wealth The last legislature author
lied the governor to appoint commits
sioners to enforce the liquor law in
any locality where officials fail TO do
their duty. Any community in Maine
that persists in its rebellion against
the constitution and the laws is to be
state. This is right. Laws must be
enforced. We have an illustration of
this in Missouri. The local officials in
St Louis and Kansas City did not en-
force the laws against Sunday saloons
and race track gamblers, but Gov
ernor Folk with the power of the
state behind him. closed the saloons
and put the gamblers on the run. One
hopeful sign of the times is the fact
that the four or five governors who
are enforcing the laws against saloons

THE COVENANT KEEPER
Every Promise in the Bond Kept to the
Letter.

About coffee the Rev. Friedrich Lippe,
Presbyterian minister, Hope P O..
Usage Co, Mo, says:
I most gratefully testify that every
promise made in your Postum adver-
tisements has been completely and
promptly fulfilled in my case. You can
publish this if you wish. and I stand
ready to voueh for it at any time.
After three days use of Postum I
could find no difference so far as taste
and flavor went, between it and the old
kind of coffee. After weeks use I pre-
ferred it to coffee.
After 3 weeks lost my nervousness,
the insomnia which had troubled me
was entirely relieved, and I began to
enjoy the best and finest of sleep every
highland that condition still contin-
yes.
After months use 7 got rid of my
dyspepsia and piles, and they have not
returned to plague me.
Neither I nor any Of my family
would today think for moment of go
ing back to the old kind of coffee. When
we entertain we give coffee to our
guests. but we drink Postum ourselves,
not only for its nutritive properties. but
because it has become truly delicious

and oppressive combines are exceed
ingly popular with the people
L want to make il perfectly clear
that notification of a prohibitory
law is not peculiar to that kind OF
legislation, but is part or a general
practice by which laws objectiona Bile
to powerful interests are quietly nulli-
fed for political or monetary reasons
License laws are not thoroughly en-
forced; men high in authority defy
law when it suits their purpose; ordi-
nary officials and liquor sellers defy
law in license and in no license terri
tory; great railroad corporations defy
law and have a system of bookkeep-
ing by which they deceive the inter
state commerce commission. There is
a degree of Iawlessness in our coun-
try that would not be tolerated III
Great Britain or in the Dominion of
Canada. I am sorry to say this, for
1 am an American citizen. My an
cestors came to this country ESQ years
ago, and have been here ever since.
But lawlessness is a serious. thing in
our country, and there is danger in il.
When you hear that prohibition fails,
remember that it is the administra-
ton of the law that fails. and that
somebody is getting graft"

Important Changes in Railway
World on Carpet for 1906.
VIII Be Unprecedented in the
Matter of Extensions.
SOME SHIFTS in 1906.
But Lines Last Year Devoted At
tentiOn to Developing Property.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

This year viii probably see some
important changes in the railway
world, as well as an unprecedented
extension of the lines of the various
big systems. AS the years 1901 and
1902 We're periods of immense new
mergers, 1905 it has been predicted
by officials who keep in touch with
the progress of all of the great lines,
will be an era of further changes in
administration and of extensions in
mileage.
E H. Hartman has given the assur-
ance that, beginning Immediately,
there is to be the greatest competition
in railway building this country has
ever known since the great systems
began to vie with each other for the
immense business offered. If Mr.
Hartman is correct, this competition
is to be principally in the west, the
northwest and the southwest He SAYS
that his own lines will be increased
by the immediate extension of 500
miles of new track
The year 1905 brought several i'm
portant changes in the administra-
ton of the large systems. though it
was not so prolific in that respect as
was the year preceding, and not near
iy so noticeable as that predicted from
the present year.
At the close of last year b F.
Yoakum re-entered in active railroad
life, assuming full charge of opera
ton of the $4,000 or so miles of rail-
road controlled by the Rock Island
company.

ton of the Nanderbilts, looking toward

Gently left the latter and retired from
railroad life. In Mr.. Ramsey and Mr.
Harding the railroad world loses, for
the time being at least. two of its
most brilliant officials, and Mr.. Gould
has lost two of the best railroad men
on his roster.
Few other changes of importance
have taken place. It has not been a
year of experiment, OF changing ad-
ministratiOn, of merger or of reor-
ganization. The salient character
istic of the year. from the viewpoint
OF the railroad man, has been, rather,
the development of resources ACQUIRED
in preceding years, than the acquisi-
ton of new resources.
