STORE-BOOM AND SrORES.-A clean =,
tidy, wcll-arrangcd Storc-room Is one
sign of II good methodical housekecper.
When stores arc put away at hap-haz-
ards aud takon out at any time and at
any quantity, disorder and cXtrava-
gancC prevail. A sLore-room ought to
be large, airy. cool and dry. Such Il
room is not always to be had. but even
If closet has to be pu! up with, it may
be kept clean. Shelves should be
ranged around the walls, hooks fastened
to the edges of the shelves. The dricst
and coolest parts of the room should be
kept for jams, jcllics and pickles. All
the jars should be distinctly labeled at
the front, so that they will not all have
to be taken down every time Il partiCu-
lar jar in wanted. Biscuits or cakes
should be kept in closcly-covcrcd tin
boxes lemons should be hung in nets.
Soap should be bought in large guam
titles, and cut up in convcnient-siZed
pieces, SO that it may be dry before it
is used. Coffee, when roastcd, should
be kept In small quantities; if UNI
roasted, it will improve with keeping.
Stores on no account should be left in
the papers in which they were sept
from the groccr's but should be put into
tin cannisters or earthcn jars closely
covered, and each jar, like the jam,
should be labeled. Stores should be
given out regularly, either daily or
weekly. In order to check their con-
sumption the housckcepcr will do well
to keep a memorandum book, with
pencil fastened to it, and in this book
she should enter the date on which all
stores were brought in or taken out.
BY means of these memoranda she can
compare one weeks outgo with an
other, and Immediately discover any
extravaganza. y hammer, a few mails,
a little gum, Il ball of string, Il few
sheets of foolscnp, and pair Of scissors
should always be kept In tho store
room.

An Economical Administration.

From the Stevens County Tribune.
The ways of Providence, they say, are past
finding out. Well, the manner of letting mail
contracts in Washington is equally mysteri-
ous and mystifying. The first any one knows
of contract is that somebody in the State OF
Maine, or some other remote portion of the
Union, is endeavoring to sub-let the service
on route, and as the figures are at one-third
less than the actual cost Of performing the
service, the government contractor is unable to
fulfill his agreement, and the people along thu
lines are left to suffer every Inconvenience.
Then, again, routes are established and con-
tracts given for no apparent reason other than
TO give some one an opportunity TO get their
clutches into Uncle Sans money bags. The
most expensive, impracticable, and useless
routes are established, and the first intimation
the people have that the department intend to
establish such q line, or that the matter was
ever under contemplation, is q, letter from
some unknown party, or parties, in some re-
mote place, calling for bids on sub-contract.
1t is no wonder the government is expensive ;
it is no wonder the people grumble. If a
banker was to conduct his, business in the
same careless, reckless and criminally expen-
slve manner, he would be q bankrupt and en-
bessler in short time. It really seems, und-
or the present system Of letting contracts and
establishing routes, probable, that if We owned,
as some do, the power to ask a favor of our
Representative, that we could get a stage line
from Morris to St. Paul via Duluth. It would
be as feasible and as practical as q route from
Herman to Ortonville.

Inc citizens of this place gathered ct the
station few evenings ago to listen to dis
course by Rev. Nathaniel starkey, of London,
England: He came here to visit an old and
esteemed friend, Mr.. James Chapman, whom
ne was instrumental in converting some
thirty years ago, in England, and met for the
nrst time since in Royalton. -.
1t has been reported among the farmers at
Two Rivers and Rich Prairie that they cannot
get as much for their wheat here as at other
ssat'ons, 81 and on this account q large part of
tne wheat has gone to other points that would
nave come here had they known that they
would receive the same prices. To settle this
matter We wish to say that the buyers here
are paying g the highest market price, and will
continue to do go. We hope the farmers will
not take any stock in the reports to the con-
trary, but come and see for themselves.
"A brother of Rev. T. G. Kinnie, with his

VIII he greatly benefited by the change, and
no doubt will be so we'll pleased with the
pleasant town of Royalton that he will make
it his home.
There was good attendance at the station
last Sunday afternoon, and those who had the
good fortune to be present listened to very
able discourse by the Rev. J. S. Bouck. In
the evening there was quite company as
semoied at the house of J. D. Logan, ESQ.,, to
pass an hour in singing. Mrs. F. A. Perley,
OF Fort Ripley, who kindly accepted an invi-
tatlon to assist n the singing, was present and

Special Telegram 70 the Pionear prees

Special Telegram to the Pioneer Press.
Washington, Oct. 5.-The post-ofice depart
ment has made q decision, which has been
adopted by the postmaster-general and will be
enforced, prohibiting the mailing of letters to
lottery companies or their agents; also for
bidding the sending of money to lottery com
panies by postal order or registered letter.
This decision has created a good deal Of indig
nation among lottery agents here, and they
say it cannot stand. It is said that the lot-
tory companies will take the case to the courts
and maintain their rights to the use of the
mails. The authorities base their decision
upon the postal laws and regulations of 1879,
which forbid the use of the mails to swindle
the public, and they claim that lotteries come
under this head.

DEATH OF JOEL RrAs.-Joei Ryan died at his res
idence, ut Ryan's Station On Wolf River northeast
of Severance, at O'Clock last Saturday evening.
Mr.. Ryan was one of the first settlers in Doniphan
County, and at one time owned large body Of land
in the vicinity of his home But in the last few
years, he had been engaged in numerous lawsuits,
and was Of very incorporate habits, through which
combined influences, he had lost about all his proper
ty except his homestead, and probably that is en-
numbered. He had for years lived in mean little
cabin on Wolf River bottom, almost hidden by
weeds, where he dwelt alone, except that Q daugh-
ter was with him part of the time. He had been in
bad health for several weeks, and his daughter had
also been badly ailing that she was sent to q
healthier locality. the only means of recovery.
After she left neighbors called in ut intervals to
look after him. Two days before his death, some
one called in, and found him lying helpless the
floor with the contents Of two buckets of water and
a bottle of whskey spilled over him. He was taken
up and put to bed, and q Waterman kept by him
til his death. One who was there at the time, in
forms us that five minutes after he breathed his last
his body stiff and rigid a corpse could be
at any time after death. MIR. Ryan had long been
resident of the West, and had spent several years in
California, in early gold days. We believe he
native of Tennessee.
