Lemreau insisted on penning his own

didn't want a record mado of, as that
would bo fed to his dog during tho days

ed that tho dog, "tho only friend I

PRESIDENT KIMBALL
WORKING IN DOUGLAS

President Andrew Kimball of tho St.
David stake of tho church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, known as
tho Mormon church, was a visitor in
Douglas last Sunday. Ho camo hero
for tho purposo of perfecting tho church
organization in this city.
On Saturday a regular ward organi
zation wns perfected, including tho sub
sidiary sociotics, such as Ladies' Re
Hof society, young lady and young
men's improvement associations, Sunday
school and primary organizations.
J. Parley Bigolow was installed as
bishop of tho ward and B. P. Duffin
and John T. Butlor woro chosen as first
and second counselors.
Iu his sermon preached on Sunday
at tho now church on Twentieth street
President Kimball took occasion to im
press upon his peoplo their duty ns citi
zens, advising them to obey tho laws
of tho land and assist in upholding good
order in Douglns. Ho expressed his sur
priso at the continued rapid growth of
tho city sinco he was last hero and pre

BOSTON, Mass., Octobor 18. Post
mastor Gonoral Gcorgo von L. Moyor
promises to recommend a two-fold im
provement in tho parcels delivery sor
vicc a parcels post on rural routes
which will meet tho conveniences of
small storekeepers and retailors, and a
local parcel post delivery nt city freo
delivery postofiices in tho interest of
tho urban public.
His proposals, which includo a postal
savings bank system, woro received with
applause by mombors of tho Postmas
ter's Association of " Now England,
gathered for their annual banquet.
Mr. Moyor began his address by con
gratulating tho association on tho fact
that tho country now linn 02,059 post
ofiices and distributes 1,000,000,000 let
ters nnd postnl cards every month. Tho
expenditures for 1900, continued tho
speaker, were $178,119,7778.89; tho re
ceipts, $107,932,702.95; the deficit being
$10,510,9995.94. Judging from tho fig
ures of tho first threo quarters and tho
estimate for the last quarter of the
fiscal year ended Juno 30, 1907, thero
is every indication that tho deficjt will
bo reduced to about $7,000,000 for that
year. Consequently, I do not propose
to advocato tho raising of rates, because
I believe that tho weighing of all mail
matter which is now being carried on
under tho authorization of congress, will
aliow, when wo take into consideration
tho frankinc privilege and nuke a nro-
per ehargo on tho books for'tho mail
mattor distributed for tho various de
partments, that tho postoflico depart
ment is not chargeable for much of a
deficit.
Rural Delivery
Mr. Moyor went on to sketch the his
tory of tho rural delivery. While, said
he, the expenso incurred in connection
with rural delivery is enormous, yot it
has increased tho receipts, and tho bene
fits to our peoplo cannot bo measured
in dollars and cents. Tho isolation
which existed in many parts of the
country has been overcome; tho peoplo
nro in daily communication with their
friends in tho rest of tho world; tho
daily papers and magazines como to the
door of every farmhouse on the rural
route, and enlightenment and informa
tion nro being spread broadcast through-
out the land. Medical men havo said
that already tho establishment of tho
rural scrvico is having its effect upon
tho mentality of our country patrons,
nnd that because of it insanity is on
tho decrease.
I want to draw to tho nttcntion of
you gentlemen at this timo certain fea
tures nnd inconsistencies in connection
with the parcels post service. In tho
first place, it does not seem to bo un
dorstcod by many of our peoplo that
wo have a parcels post at presont. Tho
rnto is 10 cents a pound and tho limit
of weight four pounds.
As to Parcels Posts
Two interests aro opposing tho ex
tension of parcels post in this country
tho express companies and tho coun
try retail merchants. Tho latter fear
that tho mail order houses will derive
a benefit to their own disadvantage. It
is in connection with tho country retail
merchants that I desire to speak es
pecially. I proposo to recommend tho estab
lishment of a pnrcols post on rural
routes which will meet tho objections
of tho small storekeepers and rotnilers.
This will bo a boon to our rural popu
lation, and to tho storekeeper, ns the
latter can receive his orders by mail or
telcphono and dispatch tho desired mor
chandiso by tho rural carrior. Tho
farmer will bo saved from hitching up
to his horso and losing tho timo ho
needs for planting or harvesting his
crops, nnd it will cnablo tho storekeopor
to incrcaso his sales and moot tho re
quirements of modern trado.
If my recommendations aro adopted,
it will cost 12 cents a pound for tho
mail order houso to sond parcels to tho
rural delivery patron from any city
postoffice, whilo for dolivcry from tho
distributing office of tho rural route.
or if mailed by a patron of any rural
routo for delivery to a patron on tho
samo route, or nt tho distributing post
ofilco of said routo, tho charge will bo
but 5 cents for tho first pound nnd 2
cents for each additional pound up to
oloven pounds, or 25 cents for a pack
ago woighing olovon pounds.
Postal Savings Banks
Another mattor of great public inter
est which I shall recommend for tho
consideration of congress ia a postal
savings bank systom, which has been
ndopted by many countries during tho
last thirty or forty yenrs. Now, with
us in Now England, wo realizo that tho
of tho country, and this is demonstrat
ed by the fact that in Now England tho
averago distanco of tho savings bank
from the postoffice is about fiftnon
miles; in tho middle nnd western states
it is about twenty-five miles; in tho
southern states, thirty-threo miles, and
in tho Pacific slope states, fifty-fivo
miles.
Wo desire to oncourngo among our
peoplo oconomy nnd thrift and by tho
uso of tho .postal savings banks to give
them every opportunity to husband their
resources. t Tho policy will not bo to
compote ,in any way with tho savings
banks, bul rather to encourage tho
habit of depositing savings. The peo
ple that we shall want to reach are,
first, those 'who havo not the facilities
at hand for depositing their money iu
a savings bank. and. socondlv. tho for-
oign population which is entering tho
country in such enormous numbers and
which is, to a great extent, hoarding its
surplus earnings.
Faith in aoyenunent
Theao immigrants reach tho United
States auspiotous of any privato bank
ing institutio'&B, but with absolute faith
in tho government. Wo hnvo ovidonco
of this in tho fact that they are buying
postal money orders payable to them
selves at any time within a year. Tho
Italians, for exkmplo, have como to tho
department in Coses of loss by fire and
have shown prqof sufficient to satisfy
us that they had purchased money or
ders payable to ithoinsclves.
It is proposed to bring this monoy
into circulation by asking authority
rrom congress to plnco tho deposits in
tho national banks of tho country, not
merely in a few financial centers, but
in tne Dnnks or tlio district whore tho
monoy has boon deposited. I havo been
assured by prominent presidents of
national banks that the postoflico de
partment may count on receiving for
such money turned over to them a rate
of interest varying from 2 to 3 por cent.
Tho" department would guarantee tho
dopositor 2 por cent, or 1 per cent hcmi
annually. Thus ovjdonco is given to
tho savings banks that wo nrc not in
competition with them, and thnt our
business would in no wiso affect their
depositors, their rates being usuajly
from 3 to 4 per cent.
Policy of Department
It will bo tho policy of the depart
ment also to simplify in every way tho
tegistry and monoy order systems, so
that less time may bo consumed in reg
istering letters and obtaining money
orders.
I find thnt there isa great demand
from tho public for postalAiiotes, and it
is tho jpurposc of tho department to
recommend such paper in denominations
of 10c, 20c, 25c, 30c, 40c, 50c, 00c, 70c,
80c, 90c, $1, and up to $2.50. It is tho
intention to havo the notes payablo to
the party designated. A small feo will
bo charged, but timo will bo saved, as
no advices are to bo sent. Irom 1 cent
to 9 cents the notes will bo made pay
able to bearer and no fee will bo
charged.

It wns estimated at midnight thnt the

rain seems to be confined to tho valley
proper and there is no likelihood of ex
tensive dnmago by floods.

WASHINGTON, D. C, October 18.
Confronted with a statement by Henry
A. Castle, former auditor for the nost-
oflicc department, that the government
for a long time had lost on an average
of $1,000 daily through error and fraud
in tho money order system, the congres
sional commission which is inquiring
into postal methods has gone far enough
to decide that important reforms nre
necessary in the conduct of the service.
The postoffice for years has bcenjnth
out tho bystem of checks and balances
known to every efficient private busi
ness enterprise. Before steps wero ta
ken to correct this defect, a postmaster
in a western town, for instance, might
issue a money order for $100 to be paid
in New York. He would receive tho
$100 from the applicant and notify the
postmaster at New York by tho usual
means, that he had issued an order for
$100. But in reporting to the depart
ment ho might state that the order
issued was for only $1.
The system was such that the fraud
would not be detected, for the western
postmaster's order to the postmaster in
New York and his report to the depart
ment wero not brought together for
comparison.

WASHINGTON, D. C, October 18.
A member of a wealthy family promin
ent in Washington society is believed
to be a victim of kleptomania and to
havo been responsible for tho myster
ious robbery at tho Georgetown con
vent a week ago. The sister superior
discovered that all tho jewelry belong
ing to tho girl students and several
hundred dollars of tho funds of the
convent had been stolen from her desk,
where it was placed for safe keeping.
The police struggled with the case in
vain until today, when they were re
quested by tho convent authorities to
drop the case. It is reported that the
sister superior has been furnished evi
dence tending to provo that the girl in
question, nwaro of tho valuable contents
of tho desk, could not resist stealing
them, although sho is supplied with
plenty of monoy by her family. The

MR. M. C. KENTON
WEDS CHICAGO LADY
CHICAGO, October 18. Photographs
of habitual drunkards soon will be ar
ranged in artistic array in South Chi
cago saloons.
Tho new decorative effect for mirrors
and backbar will include both present
and prospective customers who drink
more than they should. The penalty of
being libted in tho art collection jwill
be a long, unquenchable and futile
thirst for the original, for nobody so
noticed can buy, no matter how much
price ho has.
The pictures will be distributed by
tho Hyde Park Liquor Dealers associa
tion, of which all the saloon owners are
members, and which adopted tho plan
this week.
The new plan was caused bv the
heavy fines inflicted on saloon keepers
and the prosecution of several success
ful suits against dealers who had sold
drinks to habitual drunkards. Their
pleas that tho men were unknown to
them were unavailing.
Hereafter any wife or other relative
requesting that no drinks be sold to a
man will be requested to bring in a
photograph of the bibulous one. Copies
then will be made and distributed.
On the back of the picture will be
placed a description of the man, his
name and address. His favorite drink
also will bo recorded, together with
other notations that may lead to his
identification.
If tho plan proves successful the
liquor dealers intend extending it to
other sections of tho city and each Chi
cago saloon may have a privato art
gallery that will force present theatrical
gems and pugilistic posings to the ash
heap.
The startling similarity of the pres
ent collection of photographs has puz
zled the saloon men. The description of
one 'rends: "About 45, baldheaded,
scraggy black beard and one eye."
Although the liquor dealers' associ
ation asks the proprietor to post the
pictures on the mirror, some have ob
jected. Several have decided to place
neat plush albums on the bar, whilo
others have arranged a decorative
scheme in color along tho side walls.
No investigation will be made by tho
liquor dealers and any man against
whom a complaint is lodged by a wo
man, and whose picture is produced.
will at once go on the index expurga
torius. The probability of practical
jokes will not be considered and hus
bands who slip in a bide door and con
front photographs of themselves upon
tho mirror will understand that their
helpmeets have learned of tho new rule.
"The law has decided that a man
who gets drunk twice a year is a habit
ual drunkard," explained one saloon
keeper. "Who can dodge that!"
The Liquor Dealers' association also
has prepared to have agents point out
men whose photographs cannot bo ob
tained. The association's officers de
clare the trade of habitual drunkards
is not desired anyway.
Five saloon keepers recently havo
been fined in South Chicago and many
have been warned by judges of the
municipal court for selling drinks to
habitual drunkards.

Work was started yesterday by tho
city of grading the west side of Broad
streets. Little work was done, however,
as the plow used by tho city street de
partment made but one trip down tho
street. Sovcral water pipes wore en
countered and the work had to be sus
pended. Mayor Sultan notified tho wa
ter company to have tho pipes lowered
by Monday so that tho work could bo
resumed then.
There was considerable comment dur
ing tho day concerning tho grading and
it was freely rumored that an injunc
tion would bo applied for in the district
court by Alderman Denis Murphy to
prevent tho city from going on with tho
work. Mr. Murphy, who is tho heaviest
property owner on the east side of tho
street, has hiado a strenuous fight
against tho cutting down of his side
of the street" and had succeeded in de
laying tho grading for several months.
If tho work is done as proposed, tho
