pearing that he was quite as much sinned

The case of Mr.. julius Tiedeman, late
prescription clerk with Hartz & Bahnsen,
was the one cited in last evenings ARGUS

er, when legibly directed. A test case
carried te headquarters would very quickly
result in a peremptory order to our post
master to obey the mandates of common
sense, especially when it is considered
that the postmasterz and his assistant of
Rock Island are the only post office officials
in the country who are pursuing what will
prove to be supremely ridiculous course
Swan Peter Peterson gives notice that he
will apply to the circait court in January
