But few persons or corporations, It
is stated are more vitality concerned
in the outcome of the Harriman-Fish
controversy. than the American Elk
press Co. When the American COM
pany was given exclusive privilege
over the entire line Stuyvesant Fish
is credited with having been friendly
toward the American Express COM
pany. If his defeat at the annual
meeting is consummated it is thought
that the Hartman faction will domin-
ate in the Illinois Central This estab7
lished the logical conclusion is that
f. H. Hartman would prefer that the
Wells-Fargo, which he also controls,
acquire the business on the Illinois
Central The contract between the
Illinois Central and the American Elk

when the change could be convenient
ly made. Such a change would be a

Shown That Many Parents
Were Prosecuted for
Failure to Comply.
3o6 CASES IN THE COURTS.
MORE THAN TWENTY THOUSAND
CHILDREN WERE BROUGHT IN
TO SCHOOL BY THE III TRu-
ANT OFFICERS.

Reports filed by the truant officers
of the state with the state truancy
board for the school term of 1867
show many prosecutions of parents and
guardians under the truancy law. With
the exception of Jennings county,
where no appropriation for truancy
was made. each county in the state has
a truant officer, those containing the
larger cities employing from two to six
officials.
A total of 800 cases was taken into
court during the year, and Of this num-
Der 345 proved successful, fifty failed
and one is still pending. In forty-one
counties no prosecutions were found
necessary; in thirty-one counties the
number was from one 10 five each: IN
eleven counties there were from five
to ten each; in four counties from ten
to twenty each; and in the remaining
five the report was as follows: Madison
tWenty-three; Marion twenty five; Lake
twenty seven; St Joseph thirty eight;
Floyd, eighty-siX. The truant officer
of Floyd county wrote in explanation
of the high number of prosecutions in
his county, that sixty-fOur of the com
plants were against parents or guar
dams for failure to comply with the
law and twenty-five were against chill
dren for truancy.
The truant officers are III in num-
Der. Their reports indicate that dur
ing the school term of 1867, 22.O6G
children were brought into school who
had either not been in school before
or whose attendance was irregular. OF
/ this number, 21O49 went to the public
schools and 0o7 to private or parOchial
! schools. 1t was found necessary tC
provide clothing or books for 7.G0!
of these, and the assistance so giveT
amounted in value to $1S,S96.13, an av
erage of $24S for each child aided. lr

truant officers spent 1913 days il
service and made 67,91S visits. Theil
salaries amounted to So, S22.JO Thi!
sum, added to the aid given the chill
dren, makes the total cost of admins
tering the law amount to SOL 1923, al
average of A2.35 for each child brough

IN SEPARATE EXHIBIT.

The Ohio Railroad Commission has
undertaken to separate the passenger
earnings of railroads within that state
from the receipts from all other sour
ces and the commissions annual re-
port will present some tables which
will be of interest. The value will
depend entirely upon their accuracy
and this will be explained in the re-
marks of the commission when the
report is made public. With about
ten exceptions the report shows an
increase in the number of passengers
carried and the decreases were gener-
ally wholly within the state and
probably the experience of the latter
lines form the best test of the Ohio

One of the advantages of
Grape-Nuts food is that it is
pre-digested in the process
of manufacture.
The starch contained in the
wheat and barley is trans
formed into grape-sugar by
exactly the same method as
this process is carried on in
the human body, that is. by
the use of moisture and
long exposure to moderate
warmth which grows the dias-
tase in the grains, then long
baking completes the re-
markable change from starch
to grape-sugar.
Therefore. the most deli
cate stomach can handle
Grape-Nuts and the food is
quickly absorbed into the
blood and tissue certain
parts of it going directly to
build and nourish the brain
and nerve centres. There's
a Reason"

TIME OF YEAR FOR
RAIL ROAD WRECKS
Special Precautions Will Be
Taken by the Lines
Through Winter.
FREEZING AND THAWING.
DISASTERS OTHER NEWS OF
THE VARIOUS Raj LROAD
LINES.

The season for railroad wrecks is
just beginning, and from this time
until the late spring months, track
inspectors, and ali persons connected
with the safe operation of trains on
the local divisions OF the Pennsylva-
MIA and the c.. c. & l., will necessar-
lily be on the alert. There is not so
much danger during the early fall
months, but when the ground begins
to freeze and thaw, trains of all char
acter stand in more danger of being
wrecked than at any other season of
the year. All supervisors and their
men will be obliged to watch the rails
and road-bed closely.
Winter traffic is carried on under
circumstances which are everything
else but encouraging. With all the
labor that is expended during the sum-
mer months TO prepare the track and
roadbed for the winter travel, but few
weeks of varying weather is all that
is required to place, both in compara-
er's point of view. More accidents
result from broken rails during the
winter months than any other season
of the year. Since the steel manufaC-
turing concerns began to adulterate
their rails sold to the various railroad
companies the country over, accidents
from the broken rail cause have been
more numerous than ever before. Last
year the local divisions of the Penn.
sylvania employed track inspectors on

TRASHY ADVERTISING.

Along with our little talk on adver-
Using III Richmond we are not going
to neglect to mention the merchant
who devOtcs his time to throwing
away good money on trashy advertise
ing. Incidentally it may be mentioned
that trashy advertising can not be
bought in Richmond. The merchant
who patronizes the manufacturer of
trashy advertising novelties must nee
essarily go outside of Richmond again
demonstrating the beautiful disregard
of some merchants for the trade-at-
home argument
Trashy advertising in Richmond APP
plies to the many cheap advertising
novelties on which good money is
thrown away. Foot rules. yard sticks,
puzzles, fans, calendars, mirrors, pro
grams. time cards and all other forms
of novelty advertising are not legiti-
mate advertising nor III the long run
whom they are forced. Such adver-
Using novelties clutter up any home
and become a nuisance and the mer-
chants who put them out Justly re-
ceive the blame for creating such a
nuisance.
Furthermore this trashy advertis-
ing is not dignified and for dignifi-
ed firm to lower itself and use such
advertising lowers it i nthe estimation
of all discriminating people. The
merchants who use this kind Of ad-
vertising always try to justify them
selves under the excuse that it keeps
their name before the public. True
enough but what they want to sell is
goods and not a name. If they sell
the right kind of goods and advertise
their goods judicious.y that fact alone
will make their names stand for far
more than cheap advertising novelties
will. A merchant trying to sell goods
on the strength Of his name is a good
deal like the dog that was wagged by
it's tail. The people want to know
about the goods, the price and quail
ity and not about the merchants
name.
The merchant who advertises in the
newspaper must necessarily advertise
in dignified manner and the dignity
of his advertisement is enhanced by
the dignity of the newspaper. A
newspaper naturally must be dignifi-
ed in order to appeal to the best senti-
ments in the community. The ma
jority of people in any community are
sensible and dignified and demand
that their newspaper be likewise. The
merchant, therefore, who uses the
newspaper gets the added advantage
of the prestige his paper has gained
With trashy advertising novelties he
has only his own dignity and prestige
to command and lowers both by des-
cending to the use of such advertis-
ing.
