We ere asked few days ago by
delinquent subscriber why we keep
on sending the Journal after the sub
scription date hiss expired. Every
weekly paper in towns of this size is
forced to do this. Should we stop
subscriptions when the time expires
nine times out of ten the subscriber
would give us a calling down" over
the phone for insinuating that his
credit was not good. Rather than
cast reflection against the honesty
of q subscriber to pay small debt, it
is next to q necessity for home paper
to continue sending the paper after
the time has expired. 1t is not neces-
sary for the city dailies or weeklies
to follow this rule as their subscribers
live at a distance and are not personal
friends as is the case with majority
of our subscribers. Our subscribers
should deem 1t an honor to know
that we do not doubt their integrity
and continue to send them the paper
after the time has expired. Should
parties desire their paper discon-
tinued, they should notify us and re-
nit to date If they have not already
done 80.

The following from the Council
Bluffs Nonpareil, of Saturday, tells
of a man who was once employed
as brakeman on the Audubon
Branch: "Rufus kinsey, who was
Injured while diving at Lake Man
ava on Wednesday evening, died
at the General Hospital about noon
today. kinsey spent the afternoon
of Memorial Day at the lake, and a
good share of the time in the water
on the south eide. About six o'clock
he concluded to take one more dive |
before coming out. Where he went
in the water was not over four feet
deep and he struck his head against
the sandy bottom; when he tailed
to come up Henry Lorenzen, son of
the patrol driver, dived in after him
and found him lying unconscious
beneath the water. He was not
thought to be seriously injured at
fret and was removed to his home.
A post mortem examination was
made last night to determine the
character and extent of kinsey's in
juries, and the second cervical YER
zebra was found to be badly bruised
and it was the injury to the spinal
cord at this point which caused his
death. He leaves a wife but no
children; and the body was taken
to his fathers home at Oakland for
burial"
Miss Rachel Denham was born in
Lewis county, Kentucky, June 10,
1858; was married to John Hukle on
December 25, 1881; died in Sioux
City. Iowa, May %, 1905; laid to rest
in the Extra Cemetery May "a, 1905,
after a short burial service at the
lChristian church, conducted by
Rev. Frank Richardson, pastor of
the Congregational church. She
was the mother of four children,
1.-TWO of whom had preceded her in
their infancy to the heavenly home
and there is left to mourn her loss
a devoted husband, loving son
and an affectionate daughter; four
sisters, two brothers, many other
near relatives and hoet of friends,
both here and elsewhere, who will
sadly miss her many kind words
aud loving deeds. We all tender
our deep, heartfelt thanksto all per-
sons who in any way 80 kindly and
unsel6shly administered to her
and us in her long and painful ILL
ness, her death and burial services.
May the good Lord abundantly
bless and ultimately save you all
and many others to enjoy with her
the many choice blessings and
grand privileges OF the first resur-
rection is the most sincere prayer

EXPRESS MEN ASK TINE.
Wells-Fdrgo and american Wish to
DeLay Rate Filing.

Washington, July 20.-Following the applica-
ton of the United States Express Company TO the
Interstate Commerce Commission for an extern
sion Of time beyond August q in which 70 file
it's rates with the commission. the American
Express Company and the Wells Fargo COM
pany to-day filed with the commission similar
applications.
j. II. Bradley. general traffic manager OF the
American Express Company. says his company
operates over $4,000 miles of railroad in the
United States and 1000 miles in Canada and
has 5000 offices. The company has 4,5oOOO0
merchandise rates. "If these rates" says Mr.
Bradley, "are written up specifically from point
to point. it would represent files embracing
100000 rates"
John D. Ludlow. superintendent OF trafnc OF
the Wells Fargo company, says his company
covers $1,000 miles of railroad and has 4''oo
Offices and that the task of compiling the rates
in effect among the offices is one of immense
magnitude To furnish simply the merchandise
rates-that is the standard rates corresponding
to the frst:class freight rates of the railroads
would involve the copying of more than eieVeL
million rates. Add to these he says, the speCial
rates applicable to food products ana slIli.aI aI
perishable matter Of low value and the rdteS
on horses, bullion. money and Other speGIai
classes of traffic. and the work or copying Oe-
comes tremendous task
Both companies request the commission 90
give them an extension of several months. II IS
likely that the requests will be granted.

NEW PITTSBURG-BOsTON LINE.
Revival of Plan to Build Binghamton-Wi
Transport Cutoff.

The suspended plan for building a railway
line from Binghamton to Williamsport, Penn,
to carry out which the Binghamton & South
ern Railway Company was formed about three
years ago, is said TO be likely now to be revived
and pushed to completion.
The Binghamton & Southern made no further
progress than to survey the route but its sue
cessor, the New York, Pennsylvania & South
western Railroad Company, is reported to be
about to undertake the actual construction Of
the road. The distance between Binghamton
and Williamsport is 116 miles.
At williamsport the projected line would con-
meet with the Pennsylvania Railroad system
and at Binghamton with the Delaware & Hud-
son. through route between Pittsburg and
Boston being thus formed which, it is estimated
would be about 130 miles shorter than any now
existing.
There has recently been a good deal of news
paper mention of another projected route for
shortening the distance between Pittsburg and
the New England states. This route as
planned. comprises the Pittsburg & Northeast
ern Railway a road proposed to be built from
Pittsburg to the present southern terminus OF
the Buffalo & Susquehanna Railroad in Indlana;
the Buffalo & Susquehanna to Clearhelo, Penn.;
the projected Pittsburg Binghamton q eastern
Railroad from Clearfeld to Binghamton; the
delaware & Hudson and the Boston q Albany
thence to Boston and other New England points.

TEST ELECTRIC ENGINES.
Aeu York Central Officials Pleased
acith Huge Nezo Motors.

Experimental were made yesterday after
noon at Hghbrdge by the New York Central
railroad with the new electric locomotives and
cars which Will be installed for local service in
about three months. W. ]. wiIgus. chief engineer
OF the road. who, with several OF his staff, was
present at the test trips expressed his entire satis-
faction with the experiments. "They were highly
successful and satisfactory" he said
No effort was made to run the huge locomotive
at its full speed. which is sixty miles an hour while
drawing train OF fifteen cars. The short stretch
traversed-between Highbridge and Kingsbridge-
MADE THAI impracticabe. The speed. however,
that was made proved again 10 the New York
central officials not only the availability Of the
motive power, but also its advantage over the
steam locomotives.
The most careful preparation was made for the
experiments. The engine and car, which had been
hauled TO Highbridge by a steam engine in the
morning. were thoroughly examined there and then
taken TO Kingsbridge At this place spur, begin
nlng at the station and running south past Morris
Heights almost to High5rdge had been built with
third rail connections. On this siding there was
another thorough overhauling preparatory to the
trial Nuts were frightened. coils tested. and at
10 O'Clock everything in readiness.
Car No. S,OOo which was used. is in outside ap-
pearance like ordinary passenger coach, but it's
interior is much more comfortable. The electric
locomotives, which have been built with a new
weigh eighty-five tons each, of which sixty-seven
tons are borne four pairs of drivers The engine
does require turning in order to be operated
from either end
The whole superstructure Of the engines is of
sheet steel with angle iron framing, and the doors
and windows OF the cab are freproof. The driving
power is furnished Nv four 600-volt direct current
gearless motors of $50 horsepower each. The nor
NAL rating of the locomotive is 200 horsepower,
with maximum rating of about 2eeO horsepower,
which is about half again powerful the largest
steam locomotive in use on the New York Central.
The trials made Yesterday were not much to
test the capabilities of the engines which
have been tested and known. as to edu-
cate the engineers and tranmen in the operation
OF the locomotives and cars
Twenty Of the thirty engines ordered by the rail-
road company have been completed, and in few
months will be running through the Park avenue
tunnel eliminating all smoke noise and SCOT
Great progress is being made by the construction
force of the New York Central in the preparation
CT the Grand Central Palace for the accommOda-
tion Of the electric suburban trains. They will en-
ter the building below the street fioor which will
be turned into a waiting room, ticket Offices and
other necessary departments. Until the new Grand
Central Station is ready the Grand Central Palace
will be used a terminal for suburban traffic.
This will probably be for about two years.

from Narragansett Pier after an unsuccessful
effort to induce Justice White, of the United
States Supreme Court, to send him back 10

private Jail into effect. He left for Chicago over
the Pennsylvania Railroad yesterday afternoon
and will decide his future movements on his ar
rival
