Burglar Has Bus Night Three 'business houses were either entered or an attempt was made to enter the buildings Sunday night by an unknown gang of robbers and in each instance nothing of value was secured, although they dldconsiderabledamage by break ing the safes in two of the places. The robbers effected an entrance into the Smallfield Jtfusic house on West Sec ond street and also gained an entrance jfnto the 120 saloon on East Third street, in both places attacking the 'safes and mutilating them badly. The third place was Schlegel's drug store on West Second street, which place the robbers endeavored to enter but were either frightened away or could rot gain entrance. In the Smallfield Music house entrance was gained through a side door which Mr. Small field does not remember whether or not it had been locked after he left the store about 8 o'clock.

V Gartner's- Mortgage 8m!t As a re suit of an investigation into the Pat rick KHey estate of which Attorney M. V.' Gannon was administrator until a few weeks ago, Judge Jackson has rendered an opinion on the matter which shows that Mr. Gannon is now short in his accounts with the estate to the extent of $137.80. Judge Jack son has filed his report in the local district court and the finding is the outcome of fh hearing on the Kiley estate, which was held on March 12 a which Judge Wolf and Attorney William Chamberlain appeared for Mr. Gannon.

It provided for a gift of $1,500 to the clerk of the house, which is a bonus in addition to his regular salary of $4,000.

The list of beneficiaries of house resolution No. 426 covers six pages.

Each man in the rail way mall service ia not only a work man of skill, but he to also a student. He ia regularly put through a most rigorous examination. He must not only know the stations in the states, the 60,000 postofflces in the United States, but he must keep himself con stantly Informed as to all the changes of schedulee of trains. There are men running between Syracuse and Cleve land who know whether to throw a letter directed to a town in central California north or south to obtain for it , the Quickest dispatch across the country. "There are men running from New York to "Washington on the railway postal cars who know more about the postofflces of North and South Caro lina than do the members of this house who hall from those states. Thla is the finest service in the world. Other branches of the postal eervloe halt at some time in the day. This service goes on continuously. There are men who work for 30 continuous hours. "Now, for the first time in the his tory of this government, an attempt is made by the committee to give these men an expense allowance of 75 cents a day when they have been out 12 hours in the service. The plan is re ported unanimously by the committee. I sincerely hope, and more deeply than I have ever hoped on any single Item I have ever had anything to do with in this house, that not a single man in this house will raise his voice against the proposition.

"There has never been an army or a navy or a commercial organization of 16.000 men which have exhibited the efficiency that this body of govern ment employes do. They are not paid excessivelj . Their salaries range from $800 to $1,600 a year. They occupy the most hazardous place on the train. Three or four years ago, out in the west, when the cars of a railroad train went into the ditch they carried with them eight men In the postal cars, and to their death. This house ought to be appreciative of good service." Representative Hughes of New Jer sey cited an instance of a young pos tal clerk living In his district, who was compelled to remain at the end of the line every night when he had finished his run. "As he explained the situation to me," said Hughes, "this young man was the son of a widowed mother, liv ing in Jersey City, paying rent there and supporting his mother, but every night was compelled to go to a summer hotel and pay for his lodging, pay for his. supper that night and his break fast the next morning. This clerk was then receiving $675 a year; his salary now 13 $800 a year. How this man was able to pay his way is beyond my comprehension, because I had some ex perience as to the charges made by the hotels in the summer resort at which the clerk was forced to put up each night." HfcKJnaey'a StaaWIpat Recora. Representative James McKlnney of Aledo, 111., completed a long record of standpatism" in the house by voting, in the recent spectacular fight on the rules, against the Burleson resolution which declared the office of the speak er vacant and provided for the elec tion of a new speaker. In all of the votes taken during the life of the contest over the improve ment of the rules, Representative Mo Kinney voted with the regulars. This was not surprising, as Mr. McKlnney has always been a dyed-ln-the wool Cannon man.

There was some excitement in the School of Applied Design For Women, at New York, when it was learned a short while ago that one of the girls there was designing the wedding cake for Miss Marjorie Gould, who will marry A. J. Drexel, Jr., on April 19 In New York. .Probably Miss Gould was as much surprised as -the school to learn this, for the commission was originally given to a caterer. Miss Gould declared that she want ed a reproduction of Georgian Court, the Gould home at Lakewood, repre sented in the Icing. Apparently that was somewhat beyond the caterer, who Immediately sought the school, and the commission was turned over to one of the young women there. Two designs of Georgian Court were made and" sent In. Soon that per MISS MABJORTE OOOXS. sonage returned with the news that Miss Gould had changed her mind and wanted also a model of Lyndhurst, the home of Miss Helen Gould, upon the mammoth cake. After further con sultation the caterer announced that there were to be three cakes rather than one. The three were to be one on top of the other underneath an arch. At the bottom was to be Lynd hurst, and above that, on two shelves, as It were, Georgian Court, and then a temple ef love for the top. HELPING GOVERNMENT SAVE.
