may make transfer, or any one else, to

Better Train Service For Marion.

Sturgis. Marion and Princeton are
making vigorous protests against the
present train service which is afforded
by the Illinois Central. They cannot
come up the road to transact business
without having to turn around almost
as soon as they arrive and hike for the
depot again either that or remain over
night or go down to Morganfeld and
take long drive.
There have been murmurings coming
out Of Sturgis, Marion and Princeton
for some time. but the feeling has now
crystalized into formal objection and
demand for better train service.
The matter has been taken up at this
end of the line as it is just as unsatis-
factory TO people here who have bust
ness TO transact with residents at Stur-
gis, Marion and Princeton. Formal
complaint has been filed with Secretary
Charles T. W. Argue, who has written
a letter to the Illinois Central asking
for better train service. Agent Waltz
has replied that the matter is now I'M
der consideration by his company.
The easiest plan by which better
train service can be secured will be to
run the evening train, which now leaves
Henderson at 5:27, on through to Stur-
gis, Marion and Princeton. The train
at present stops at Morganfield. 1t is

revenue service.
Senator Bradley. who is author of
the amendment has been persistent in
his efforts TO have the tax removed
and at last succeeded in prevailing up
on Senator Aldrich and other members
of the finance committe TO acquiesce in
ms proposition.
AS the tariff bill passed the house, it
carried a similar provision and there is
very little doubt that when the bill
shall become law il will contain a
practical repeal of the present tax on
hand" tobacco.
The other provisional of the tobacco
schedule were retained. They impose
a tax of cents a pound on chewing
and smoking and snuff, of SO on cigars
weighing more than three pounds per
thousand; with increases for high grade
cigars running up to 50 per thousand.
% - cents on cigars weighing three or
less per thousand; $3.50 on cigarets
weighing more than three pounds per
