the Pennsylvania are said to be consid-

New York Central lines at once would
follow. The Pennsylvania line is the
shortest between Chicago and New

be made, including all stops.

ZIG CROP MOVEMENT

Gossip and Matters Of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

HICAGO, Sept. 15.-Nearly ev-
cry railroad leading out OF
Chicago is facing one of the
greatest car famines ever ex-
perienced, according to freight
traffic officials who discussed
season or the year when the tonnage IS
only ABOUT so per cent of the tonnage
that will be handled when the maximum
is reached in December, many Of the
roads are seriously pinched, and are do
ing everything in their power to get re-
lief
The feature of the present situation,
and the one which makes it most alarm
ing, is the fact that the shortage is
general with all Of the roads, and one
cannot loan cars to carry another out
Of its difficulty. Besides, the terminals
OF the city are incapable Of handling the
volume of business that is likely to come
within a few weeks, said one traffic
man, and the danger of a blockade is
imminent
All Kinds OF Heavy Traffic.
The car shortage is not due to an in
crease in any particular line of traffic.
railroad officials declare, but to steady
growth in all lines General merchan-
disc traffic is a great deal heavier than
it was at this season last year, and onss
of the biggest crops in the history of
the country is soon to be started on its
movement to market. With no prospect
Of a decrease in the lerchandise traffic
and with the heavy movement Of grain
ready to begin, TT fife men are In des-
pair.
All Lines Need Cars.
There is not division on the COM
pany's entire system that does not re-
quire twice the number of cars We can
furnish, said an official Of the North
western road. "A condition such as this
was never known before, and 1 am at
a loss to know what can be DONE All
that we can do is to take care of every
thing as rapidly as possible in its turn
and keep the line free from congestion"
Another Chicago official said yester-
day that his company could make use
of 5000 freight cars Immediately, pro-
vided the necessary motive power was
furnished. And his experience IS the
same as that of a number Of others
who complained of the shortage of cars
and threatened additions to the traffic.

A Card.

As citizens interested iu the welfare of Springdale, we suggest the President of the Citizens League discontinue his articles for public print with their thinly yelled aspersions upon the charac- ter of men not members of the league and devote his energies toward tangible results. If it is necessary to join the league to get in good company as our sapient regulator of business af- fairs tells us, we will find out the fact for ourselves. Halos are cheap, S1.o0 per.
 All good citizens are interested in the business and social inter- est of the town and are ready to support clean effort and good men to advance the common good, but inuendoeS and insinua- tions will not build up Spring dale or any other town. There are leagues industrial and social; some make good, others turn grindstones. What IS The Citi- zens League doing or going to do? Would 1t not be better for its president to enlighten the people on these points than to rush into print and call all who are not members Specimens of Darwin's imagination perambu- lating on two legs2" Is there any name for the specimen or IS the president using a mere jingle of words. indicating a crude con eeption of great scientists teaching? Let us have done with chasing rainbows and ar rogating to the C. l.. al. the en- terprise of the town, making membership therein the standard of good citizenship and exploit ing an organization that repre- sents small minority of our citizens.

 Complaint reached The News Monday that number of our subscribers living on the Johnson rural route missed their papers again last week, and for a time had us 'sguessing" as to the cause of the trouble, as the papers were mailed here Thursday afternoon as usual. Our Johnson corres- pondent explains the cause of the delay, which was a combination of late trains and a mixed up" rural route carrier. We are sure our Johnson subscribers will not censure the carrier severely, but we all hope it will not occur again soon, anyway.
 John E. Bradley, who was for four years prosecuting attorney of the eighth judicial circuit, makes the startling announce ment that there are an average of two homicides in Arkansas every day during the year. MT. Bradley bases his statement on personal observation and close investigation, and he ayers that his figures are correct. Over4600 lives taken every year by fellow being. It is enough to cause one to halt and ponder. If the next legislature does not make the law more stringent with reference to the pistol toter, 1t will have fail ed sadly in it's duty. The man who unlawfully carries pistol ought not only be fined, and fined heavily, but he should also be imprisoned where he may have an opportunity to ponder and re- fleet on the error of his way.
