FOUR YEARS AS LINCOLN'S POSTMASTER
Mr. Bushnell Now Rounding Out a Tcnn in Which the
Affairs of His Office Have Had Painstaking Attention
Kk
III. Jf. BUSHNELL
Next IM-ruary II. M Bj.sh.nell will
round out four je:irs as master of the
post In the city of Lincoln. In that
time t most wonderful improvement
and enlargement has taken place.
Keenues and business have been
doubled, mail facilities extended and
promptness and celerity staunchly en
grailed as t.udinal principles of the
management of the postofllce.
A part of this increase and enlarge
ment has been due to the natural ex
pansion of business in the city, but
much of it can be traced to the thor
ough business organization which Mr.
Bushnell has infused into every branch
of the office. So popular has been his
management and so Fatlsfactory has it
been to the business men of the city
that every jobber and three-fourths of
the retailers have united in a petition
asking that he be retained for another
four years. Whether this petition will
be effective Is a matter that remains
yet to be settled, but at least it is a
testimonial so unusual and so strong
as to be a compliment well worthy of
being held in affectionate remem
brance. Mr. Hushnell was appointed to the
postotllce in February, 189S, but his
energies and abilities have not been
alone confined to that office. He has
served for several years with much
credit to himself as a member of the
school board and the library board,
both positions which carry much re
sponsibility, but no remuneration.
Preious to that he represented the
Fifth ward in the city council.
Mr. Hushnell has been a resident of
Lincoln for fifteen years, coming here
first as the Lincoln representative of
the Omaha Hee. Previous to that he
had been an active and honored resi
dent of Plattsmouth. where he started
the Daily Enterprise, and was can
nected with newspaper work for a
number of years In July. lhSS. he. with
S. D. Cox and Al Fairbrother. bought
the Dally Democrat and transformed
it into the Call, which was for a num
ber of years one of the leading evening
newspapers of the city. It is now a
part of The News. As business man
ager of the Call for a part or the time,
he received a training and achieved an
acquaintance that has stood him in
good stead as postmaster. He was also
editor for a considerable period, and
became actively interested in politics.
He served as county chairman and
later as chairman of the congressional
committee guided Congressman J. B.
Strode to victory in two campaigns.
Mr. Hushnell has been a virile torce
in the upbuilding of the city. If he Is
compelled to retire at the end of his
first term, 'through the exigencies of
politics, it will be with a record unex
celled by any of his predecessors.
"Poor Van Aken started for the city
this morning to undergo an operation
for appendicitis."
"Dear me! Is that so?" "Yes. and
his brother-in-law accompanied him to
bring home the body."
"Does she know enough French to
enable her to carry on a conversation
in it?"
"Oh, yes. But she is not content
with that. She intends continuing the
study of the language until she snail
be able to eat what she likes at a
fashionable restaurant."
Paderewski's Substitute
Admirers of Paderewski who hae
not yet recovered from their disap
pointment at the intelligence that the
great Polish pianist will not make his
American tour this season, may lind
more than a crumb of comfort In the
news that Harold Bauer, the well
known English pianist, has been en
gaged to fill all Paderewski's dates.
Paderewski was Bauer's professor and
Bauer comes to America with Pade
rewski's endorsement.
