EXPERIENCE CAR FAMINE
CITIES OF RICHMOND DIVISION
FEEL 1T kEENLY.
Freight Car Pool Among the Middle
Western Roads Fails to Benefit
Panhandle Very Much.

The Richmond division is now suf-
fering the worst car famine in the
history of the road and those towns on
the division, with the probable ex-
ception of Richmond, are having trou-
bic in securing enough cars TO handle
the large business. The fact that the
Pennsylvania railroad has so many
cars in service on other roads makes
il a hard proposition for the Rich
mond division to draw cars from the
Pennsylvania pool, in that other divi-
sions are as short as the local one.
The cars are being evenly distributed
all over the system.
The organization of the American
Freight car pool in Chicago among
the many middle western roads is not
aiding the "Pennsy" materially, in
that many of the roads being men,
bers of the pool are even shorten than
the PENNSYLVANIA, and as the demand
lines the Pennsylvania necessarily
has to suffer as the result. The Penn
sylvania has $4,000 more freight cars
on foreign roads than has foreign
roads on the Pennsylvania.
The railroad officials in the local
Offices state that the shippers are to
blame as much as the railroads, in
that they do not rush the loading and
unloading of cars.

They Are Persuaded
To Stay Another Week
Root Juice is Proving a Great Bless
ing Here.

The Root Juice people have been
persuaded to continue their demon
STATIONS at A. G. Lukens & Cos
drug store through all next week. AL
though when invited to come to Rich
mond they promised to stay but two
weeks, but as Root Juice is doing
SO much for the afflicted of Richmond
and many that are in need of it are
just beginning to realize it's great val
lie for stomach and kidney troubles
also rheumatism and catarrh. 1t was
felt that it would be a sin to let the
instructors leave if they could be pre-
vailed upon to stay at least another
week in this city. The instructor
said while Root Juice was in great de-
mand at this point the sales were no
larger here than at other places. The
phenomenal demand for Root Juice is
created by the great merit of the rem
edy and it strikes some weak organs
of the body from the very start, often
causing perceptible improvement af-
ter the first dose. The Root Juice
people have hundreds of testimonials
from people that live in Indiana and
are pleased to publish the following
statement made day before yesterday
in Lukens drug store by gentleman
that called for the express purpose.
The gentleman now resides in Win
chester but is we'll known in Rich
mond. He said my wife, Mrs Schuy-
Ter Grove suffered intensely for
many months with a stomach trouble,
that the doctors called gastric ulcers
After eating solid foods she would
have pains in her side and under her
shoulder blades and stomach so bad
she could hardly tell which place hurt
the worst. She had large brown
splotches on her face. We lived on
a farm but on account of my wife's
bad health We had to move to town
After trying many things with out
benefit we decided to try Root Juice
After taking it a short time, wnile
Improvement was very rapid the re-
suits We're so wonderful We are now
recommending Root Juice to all of
our neighbors. The many friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Grove will undoubtedly
be pleased when they read this arti-
Gle. All people suffering with stom-
ach, liver. kidney and blood troubles
should investigate, for health is worth
the while.
At Luken's drug store the Root
Juice people will be pleased to meet
YOU face to face and give you proofs
no sane person could doubt. Root
Juice 81 bottle for $3.50, will be
shipped to parties out of town on re-
ceipt OF price, charges prepaid.

INVESTIGATION is FINISHED
REPORT OF WORK RECEIVED IN
LOCAL OFFICES.
Panhandle Found that 81 of Its Off
Gals Owned Stock in Com
panies Along the Road.

The investigation by committee
composed of the directors of the
directors of the Pennsylvania rail-
work, in ascertaining the number OF
officials and attaches of the Pennsyl'
yania railroad, who hold properties
along the line of the system, who
might be directly affected or whose
business depended largely upon the op-
Grafton of the railroad. A copy of
the report of the directors commit
tee has been received in the Richmond
offices and it shows that out of the
10000 officers and employees of the
system only twenty-one were found
to have held properties along the
line. In the majority of instances
they were intere sted in coal companies
which sold supplies or shipped freight
over the Pennsylvania lines. The
cost of the investigation amounted to
500, 600, while more than 1905 Off
GERS and employees of the road were ex-
amined. Before the examination be-
gan nine months ago, the committee
appointed, asked the many stock
holders of the system to make COM
plants against employees or officials
but only one was forthcoming. OF
those employees and officials who were
found to control mining and other in
terests, all will be kept in the service,
providing they take immediate steps to
dispose of their properties. The
Pennsylvania railroad company has
among its many rules, one which alb
solutely forbids any officer or employe
from holding interests along the line,
who's eproperty depends largely upon
the railroad The "Pennsy" is pi-
oneer in this movement and the Off
Gals believe that much of the troubles
of other roads is caused by this fea-
ture. The officials of the smaller
roads maintain that they cannot make
a decent living unless they control
properties along their roads.
