The Lions Share.

A new novel by Octave Thanet,
the author of The Man of the Hour"
has just been published by the
Bobbs-Merril company, of Tndianap-
oils. The title of the new novel is
THE Lions Share" and it is an at
tack upon the ruthlessness of our
modern captains of finance, empha-
sizing the families made homeless.
the women reduced to starvation or
worse, and the men driven to suicide
through the straightforward manipula-
ton OF stocks by the great captains
OF finance. A case of kidnapping,
train robbery and the San Francisco
earthquake disaster are among the
occurrences chronicled in the action
of the story. and the plot is an intri-
cate one, keeping the reader guess
ing until the final chapter. 1t is an
interesting story of the present time
of real everyday people, and is web
worth the reading.

CAN'T HANDLE THE BUSINESS.
Railroads Not Keeping Pace With De
velopment of the West.

Chicago.-That 1t will be useless to
attempt to develop the west with In
adequate railroad facilities was the as
sertion of transportation officers at =
meeting in Chicago on Thursday The
conference was of general passenger
agents of western railroads, and the
question FOR consideration was low
homeseekers' rates during the coming
winter and spring. 1t had been pro
posed that for the sake of developing
the trans-Missouri country the usual
low round trip fares should be author
lied, which rates have had the effect
of helping to settle the great district
during the past few years.
After a thorough discussion 1t was
the consensus of opinion that it woulu
be useless to go ahead with low rates
and attempt to populate the western
states when transportation companies
are entirely inadequate to handle the
present business.
1t was a frank confession on the
part of the railroad men of the de-
plorable condition of transportation
lines, showing that, while the west
needs people, the railroads are not in
a position to handle the traffic.

cf -
Marion, Nit. Vernon, Mt. Gilead

Fairs Included.

Arrangements are being made
by james A. Knapp, secretary OF
he Maroon County Agricultural
society, to form u circuit compos-
ed of Marion. Mt. Gilead. Marys-
vile and Redwood fair associations
for stake races to be held IN each

The local management wants to
add two good stake races to the
annual speed program and to

add the stake, races with the same
purses. fine field of horses can
be expected TO start i'll each race
and the four weeks Of racing
guaranteed should attract horse
owners ,all over the copntry.

adopted.
