OVER ST. PAUL TRACKS
Chicago and Milwaukee to Land It's
Passengers in Heart of City

Passengers in Heart of City
While all attention has been di-
rected to the north end of the Chi
cage and Milwaukee Electric Rail-
road company's line. which has been
extended to Racine and is being ex-
tended to Milwaukee, work is also
proceeding at the south end SO that
the road will enter Chicago.
A kenosha resident who recently
inspected the road stated that the
electr1cs were now running over the
Chica go, Milwaukee s. St. Paul rail-
road company's tracks from Central
to Church streets in Evanston, and
that work was proceeding on the in
staliation of third rail devices as far
as Rogers Park.
He IS of the opinion that the cars
will make Chicago on third rail
tracks, the system being arranged
both for trolley and for third rail
current.
The road wishes to bring its pas
sengers Into the heart of Chicago.
An inspection of the line that took
place Saturday is believed to have
included ST. Paul officials investigat-
ing the feasibility of the connection
scheme

NextTuesday,s Offering

The new "Hans and Nix will
hardly be recognized by its old friends
when it appears at the Rhode opera
house next week. The comedy has
been supplied with an almost entirely
new outfit of fetching features.
Among them are pretty girls, clever
comedians, new songs, new dances
and one of the strongest lists Of people
ever engaged for farce comedy. Cor
don and Gilbert, the celebrated coined
ians and Americas best stage Ger
MANS play the principal roles which
is a guarantee that the performance
will be of a most 1udicrous nature.

The stingy Business Nan.

We think a business man is
mighty mean who will allow the
newspaper of his town to work
year in and year out to build up
his business and that of his neigh

come there to live, or at least. to
do their trading there. and yet re-
fuse or fails to do anything for the
support of this same newspaper.
Such man simply takes advant-
age of all advertising he can get
and gives nothing in return. We
presume he calls himself a public

but that. He is always ready to
take advantage of the trade that
other and more enterprising men
bring to town through advertise.

Pastor Advises Youths
to Propose.

Rev. NJ. j. Marley, of st.
Johns Catholic Church, at Pitt
ston, Pa, wants at least fifty
young men of the congregation to
propose during the week and
have the first bans of their COM
ing wedding announced next
Sunday.
AT high mass there were but
two couples announced. Father
Manley declared that from the
number of young people in the
congregation who were going to-
gether, there should be at least
fifty announcements instead of
two. He told the young men
that if they had kept company
with girls for a year without
reaching decision, they should
try their luck elsewhere, and he
advised the girls to ask the inten-
lions of their admirers and not to
refrain in the hope of having sew
eral years more fun as single
girls, because they might find
themselves spinsters before they
realize it. He concluded by urg-
ing the young men to get busy
and "pop the question"
propose to night he said,
''and bring in your names for an
nouncement during the week.
The result of this heart-to-
heart talk is eagerly awaited.

AT Fairmont, the other day, Gov

TO a newspaper interviewer, and
subscribed to his entire satisfaction
with "the new tax laws" He
says that 80 out of every 100 tax

of the new tax laws" and that
next year at will be better" mean
ing, we presume, that for next
year their taxes will be still further
reduced.
At the same time nearly every
county in the State is piling up a
debt on account of the restricted
power of the levying bodies to pro-
vide for a sufficient amount to
meet expenses. And in addition
to this it is understood that there
will be deficiency in the State
fund for 1906-the first deficiency
had in that fund for Eany yearp,
if ever at all before.
Ifyour tax ticket happens to be
smaller than usual this year, take
these things into an accounting:
You paid your capitation tax to
the assessor last spring, which
amount usually appears on your
ticket.
You have not yet settled your
taxes for this year in full, if you
are still owing your proportion of
suoh deficiencies as have been
created
This closing phrase of the gov
ernor's interview is about up to the
ususl standard of executive literary
excellence.

will still continue to do SO"

The number of legal executions in
1905 was 1873, as compared with
116 in 1904.
The number Of homicides and
deaths by violence of every kind
in 1905. shows a considerable in
GREASE over 1904, being 9,212, as

year.
