RAILROAD Tonnage
SHOW BIG BUSINESS

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 1.-The big ton
mage being carried by the railroads in
the west and southwest is an indica-
tion of how large the crops are and is
taken to mean an era of good times
for business in all lines of trade. Com
plete official figures for the month of
August show that the Missouri Pa
cific-Iron Mountain System did the
largest business of any one month in
it's history. The gross earnings for
the month were $5,612,SS2, an increase
of $S52,511 over August of last year.
The net earnings were $l,536,6 net
increase OF $61f,633. The gross earn
ings for July and August Of this year
combined total the enormous increase
of $1,599,916. over the similar two
months OF last year. The net increase
for the two months is almost as great,
footing up $1,376,77S.
Twice within a week the Missouri
Pacific-Iron Mountain System has
broken all records On Friday, Sep
tember ", there were 14,063 loaded
cars moved on the system. This in
cludes through freight as well as
freight loaded on the company's own
tracks. The best previous record was
also established under the adminis-
tration of President Bush, on October
| %, 1911, when 14,04S loaded cars were
moved On Monday, September 20,
the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain
broke all records in its history in the
number of cars of revenue freight
loaded on its own lines. On that day
1906 cars were loaded at Missouri Pa
ci6c-Iron Mountain stations, exceeding
the best previous record of $3.50 cars,
made September 9th of this year.
Other roads in the same territory are
making favorable showings, although
their gains are not so large as in the
case of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Noun
tain.

GENERAL CHOAS
IN REPUBLICAN
PARTY RANKS

Oklahoma City, Oct. 2.-The republi.
can conference in this city Monday
afternoon is generally regarded by
those who are on the inside as en-
phasizing the disorganization and
general chaos existing in the republi-
can machine. Chairman Geisler's
call invited all state central commit
teemen, one from each county, all
county chairmen, seventy-six of each,
jail legislative candidates including
lninety-nine for representative and
Itwenty-four for senator, the ten elec.
toral candidates, the eight candidates
for congress, and the candidates for
judge of the supreme court and the
criminal court of appeals, and for rail.
road commissioner, to attend the con,
ference.
| II there had been complete re-
sponse to this he would have had a
convention of 296 members, whose de-
Iliberations would have required a hall
of considerable size. But there was
nothing like this number present, and
the conference was held in a small
room at a hotel. Only few of the
Legislative candidates responded. Not
even all of the men on the state ticket
put in their appearance. Candidates
for congress were conspicuous by theil
absence and only about dozen com
mitteemen were present.
The resolutions which purport te
be the party platform follow pretty
closely the platform adopted by the
democratic state convention. Every
good thing in the resolutions is taken
almost bodily from the democratic
platform. Any declaration on nationa
tissues or any statement that would in
Idicate the position of the republican
party of this state with respect to the
presidential contest is conspicuously
omitted. The conference entirely

COUNCIL APPROVES
BRIDGE CONTRACT
Petition For Retention of Police Re-
ieeted-ordinance Authorizing Is
suance of Sewer Bonds Passed.

The regular meeting of the city
council last night was one of the
busiest sessions of the year. All of
the councilmen were present and bus
mess was disposed of with a rush.
Along with the regular routine bus
mess was the passage of the finance
bill for the current expenses of the
city. There was considerable discus
sion over this ordinance and it was
decided to leave unpaid the claim of
J. P. Gooch for services as engineer
for September. The claim of the light
plant was reduced ten per cent to al
low for the nights when the lights
were off.
A petition from number of the
/ business men of the city for the reten-
ton ftwo policemen on night duty
was presented and rejected for the
reason that the council does not feel
that at this time the city is able to
pay for more than three police officers,
but in rejecting the petition the coun-
ell went on record as the sense of
that body that two of the three police
lofficers provided for should work at
might The present police force of the
city is composed of the chief of po-
lice, assistant chief and one police
Imam. The council wants two of these
Iofficers placed on night duty, but does
mot feel that the taxpayers want an
extra man for night duty, when there
lis really no need of but one man in
| the day time The assignment of duty
for the policemen is placed in the
hands of the mayor by the statutes
and so far the mayor has refused to
iassign two of the men to night duty

AL Cameron and company of five people, six in all, in what is without a doubt the best act of it's kind in existence. Massive sets of special scenery are carried. See this one
 Al. Aubrey is a well known Norwich athlete who has travelled with the fa- nous 4 Lukens for years as their star performer, and he has the distinction Of being the first man to accomplish triple somersault Mir. Aubrey has never appeared in his home town until today, when he will offer a gymnas- tic novelty comprising ground tum- bling, Roman rings, trapeze and iron jaw work. He is ably assisted by Miss Loretta, a dainty and accomplished lady gymnast.
 It is predicted that Molly Wood, the Irish violinist, will register an en- pnatlc nit, as this clever musician is the equal of the so o-called Virtuosos.
