Traffic men of the railroads enter

freight rates, transcontinental, shall
be raised in view of the adverse leg
islation which the railroads have Ell
countered in the many western states.
Owing to the increased traffic on
the Pennsylvania, and the number of
night trains run, that road has open
ed night telegraph offices at Camden,
Somerville, Collinsville and Sevenmile

professional ball player. Hoffman
has offered his services to any minor

chances are that this coming season
will see him cavorting on the grassy
diamond. Hoffman has been playing
amateur ball for several years and has
made a good record for himself and
thinks that if he is given a chance
with some minor league team he will
make good from the start.

MUCH MAIL Is CARRIED

OF THIS BUSINESS.
Steel Ties Will Probably be Put Down
On Richmond Division OF the
Pan Handle-RaiIroad Notes.

Although the railroads are low
rarryine more mail than ever before,
local railroad officials say that the
Increase is natural and not otherwise
On account of this being weighing
season. The changes in schedules on
other railroads, throwing mail TO the
PENNSYLVANIA, for quicker transporta-
lion they say, is the cause. Train
No. IL is running through Richmond
daily, arriving here at 6:25 in the ev-
ening. carries 90, four wheel truck
loads of mail into the st. Louis station
daily, all of which is picked up en-
foute. About three times this amount
Is handled during the trip between
the two cities. Richmond contributes
q. large per cent of The mail to this
Dne train alone.
No. IL however. is not the only
Pennsylvania train running through
Richmond which is carrying heavy
loads, all of them carry correspond
Ing amounts, routes considered.
There has been cry among econ
omists recently that the railroads,
tstuff'' the mail pouches during
weighing season in order to make the
contracts figure up larger, and that
as soon as the weighing season is ov-
er. the amount of mail transported
again falls back to normal level
Local railroad officials attribute the
present increase to the large number
of mail houses sending catalogues and
the number of magazines handled,
while other railroads throwing vast
amounts of mail to the Pennsylvania
figures largely in the increase.

to the atrocities which are being
committed in the Congo Free State by
King l. BOLD II. of Belgium, Jesse S.
Reeves al William Dudley Foulke
roundIy denounced the man who is
largely responsible for the misuse
of population and wealth of this I'M
protected state in the heart of the

read and adopted by the congregation.

Whereas: The statements of null

testimony of an official

Whereas: A conference of fifty
two missionaries, representing six diff
ferent countries, held January II,
1906, unanimously declare that these
cruelties continue undated and that
millions of defenseless people seem
doomed to humiliation,
Resolved. That we urge upon the
president to take all possible steps,
by remonstrance or other
wise. to end conditions which are a
to the civilization of the
twentieth century and repugnant alike

Resolved: That a copy of these res

A TWO CENT FARE LAW.
Railroads West of the Mississippi May
Fight Them.

Local railroad men are wondering
just what will come of the railroad
two cent fare laws, which nave beca
passed by several states during the
present sessions of the legislatures.
The subject affords much food for
majority of them think the two cent
rate bills will stand in states east
of the Mississippi but will be fought
west of that river. Some are of the
opinion the railroads all over the
country, will join hands just as soon
as the legislatures have adjourned and
fight the laws to the bitter end.

NEW TRIAL TIME CARD.
Four More Trains to be Run by the

A new trial time card has been re-
ceiyed at the local c. c. e L. station
which is supposed to go into effect
April /, or whereabouts, announcing
the putting on of four more trains,
two for the north and two for the
south, all of which is construed as
meaning that without a doubt, trains
will be running between Chicago and
Cincinnati within the next few weeks.
General Superintendent Dalton of the
road. has been very busy at Ham
mond for the past few days rushing
the work to completion.
The new trains will mean the pro-
motion of a few engineers ana lire
men and also brakemen who have
