That the c., C. & L. railroad will

fact that the officials have placed time

The c.. C. & L. will run into Chicago
from Calumet to the Central station
over the Illinois Central tracks. Maps
showing signals and location of tracks
are also being distributed among the
trainmen who will run into the windy
city.
There have been SO many announce
ments in recent months that the c., c.

public has been compelled to take the
most recent announcement that trains
will be run between April 1 and Is
with a grain of salt. The officials,
however. are doing all within their
power to hasten the construction of
the connecting links. Other than the
receipt of the Illinois time tables. local
men have received no other intimation
that the through traffic will be INSTALL
ed soon. No official announcement of
the schedule has been received in Rich
mond although local employees are ex-
pecting such any day.
After a good running schedule be-
tween Cincinnati and Chicago is estab-
lished. new through trains patterned
largely after the richer roads will be
placed in service. There will be two
trains each day. according, to reports
given out by c.. C. x L. railroad men.

Admitting that the fire 1addies east

a call from West Seventh and Main

the people beyond the river should
have more ample fire protection. As
soon as it can reasonably be done,
a hose house should be located on
the West Side and, the lives and pro-
perty of the residents there given as
much consideration as in any other
portion of the city. In fact, it might
not be mistake to stretch the mu-
nicipal purse strings little in order
to see that the West Siders get
square deal. The question of a West
Side hose house has often been before
ed it, there never seemed to be a fl
nanciaI condition that justified its
erection. With hose house and the
West Second street Improvement
made, and with the completion of the
sewer system that is to be located
in the southern portion of the West

would be almost ideal. That section

warmed; but no, it went to swell the
dividends of surfeited, boastful city
concerns.
The live and let live doctrines was
overlooked: its old-fashioned whole

can we longer stultify local interests
This great evil affects every farm
er, teacher and work hand. every
home, every school, every church in
every country community. 1t also
touches the interests of the physician,
preacher and pedagogue. 1t really
robs the country merchant before his
eyes, in heartless way. He sees the
freight yard crowded with consign-
ments to individuals from great cata-
logue houses, and sadly does he look
at his country store with its stock
accumulating. for want of trade, and
thus decreasing in value every day.
Sadly too does he look at the refuge
of bankruptcy hourly being fastened

logue house with it's ubiquitous cir

country to think. Continue this policy

has been progressing for some time
between the trainmen and officials
will either result peaceably at the
coming meeting, or strike involving
more than $4,000 trainmen will be de-
clared. 1t is highly probable that the
officials will give in to the trainmen.

MUST CARE FOR LIVESTOCK.

That the Pennsylvania takes proper
care of all livestock shipped along its
lines, is evidenced by the recent re-
turn of indictments against railroad
corporations for violating the twenty
eight hour law, which requires rail-
roads to water and feed all stock at
times not exceeding twenty-eight
hours apart. Not a single indictment
of the Twenty-Five returned, was
against the Pennsylvania company.
In speaking of the record, a local
railroad men said that one of the most
rigid rulings which the PENNSYLVANIA
has, is in reference TO the proper care
of livestock while in the care of the
company. The trainmen neglecting
live stock are Immediately discharged.

impossible TO put roads in repair with

not be traced to poor crops, for the
harvest just gathered in has been
superabundant. Men cannot support
and build up business concerns in dis

Just support
Many hold forth the idea that the
country is the feeder of the city.
This is only partially true That doc
trine has been preached till the text
is threadbare. 1t would be much
wiser for men to get new text and
talk and work the country up, then
allow the city. including its mail or
der Octopus, to work its own prob
lens awhile. This, instead of being
selfishness, would be the finest order
of common sense. A more marked
feeling of brotherhood interest is
sadly needed in the country on this
particular point.
The rural population complain of
lack of facilities and conveniences; in
order to obviate this. let 5000, 600
this coming year be disbursed among
country merchants, among the hum
bier storekeepers, then observe what
will follow. The improvements would

of all, the social spirit of brotherhood
would be felt as never before.
