NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY NOVEMBER II, 1882.


From the annual report of the third as
sistant postmaster general, which has
Just been submitted, the following infOr-
nation as to the operations Of his Office
and of the postal service generally Is
$5,09l,012 more than that for the pre-
GLIDING all unsatisied obligations, are
onIy $7i7,134 more than those Of the pre-
viOus year, OF this amount nearly $685.
900 for compensation of postmasters is
beyond the control of the department.
After satisfying all obligations yet un-
paid there will remain balance
amounting to more than 100000. In
regard to appropriations and expendi-
lures for the office of third assistant post
master general the showing is very
creditable, the aggregate appropriations
for the year being $107, 454 and aggregate
expenses $9O9,9S2. These expenditures
were only 21s per cent. more than those
OF the preceding year. The number of
postage stamps, stamped envelopes,
newspaper wrappers and postal cards
issued to pOstmasters during the year
reached an aggregate of 1,740,571 OBS.
Their total value was $40,97S,053 being
more than 10 per cent, in excess of the
value for the previous year. The whole
number of pieces of mail matter re-
ceived and handled in the dead letter
office during the year was 1885, 1856,
about Is per cent. increase over the pre-
vious year. The amount of money that
could not be restored to owners under any
circumstances was 1861, which under
the law was Deposited in the treasury,
together with the sum of $3,739,O2, which
was collected Oh insufficiently paid let
ters and parcels forwarded to their des-
tinatiOn, and upon articles of third and
fourth class matter restored to senders
through the dead letter Office. An i'm
pOrtant change in the manner of treat
ing "held for postage" matter has re-
Gently been inaugurated. Under the
new practice the sender when known is
notified, but if he is not known the party
addressed is at once informed that let
ter for him is detained and that he can
have it forwarded upon paying required
postage instead of having it sent to the
dead letter office. The whole number of
letters and parcels registered during
the year was 1927 1922; the amount of fees
collected was $84i 1890, an increase of
about IL per cent. over the previous year.
A remarkable increase in the business
of the registery system is shown in a
comparison of receipts for the past year
with those of 1877. In the latter year they
amounted to 1857 ,438; in the past year
to $S41, 497, an increase of more than 1923
per cent, in four years. The following
show an excess Of receipts over eXpendi-
tures Maine, New Hampshire. Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, COnnecti-
cut, New York, New Jersey Pennsylvania
Delaware, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and the
territory of Alaska. OF these the follow
ing showed deficit last year: Vermont,
Indiana, Iowa, and Minnesota. Ali the
other states show an excess of eXpendi-
lures.

He 3 atsDOwn.

We were running through South Car
DINA when great big giant of fell
low with terrible eye and voice like
a fog horn boarded the train at small
station. I think most of the passengers
sized him up as a chap whom 1t would
be dangerous to argue with, bnt the
giant wasn't satisfied with that. He
clustered at the conductor, grOwled at
the brakesman, and looked around as If
seeking some to pick fuss with.
Everybody answered him civilly, and he
had two or three seats to himself, but
the man who wants row can generally
find some pretext. About the center Of
the car q pale looking chap about Is
years old occupied seat and was read
ing a newspaper. After time the
giant rubbed along to where the young
man sat and grOwled out:
stranger, what may be the first cost
of such hat as yOurs?"
The young man looked with flash in
his big blue eyes, and then turned to his
paper without replying.
"Heyl Did you hear me?" rOared the
other as he leaned over the seat and lift
ed the hat off the young mans head.
Quicker than one could count six a
shining revolver came from, you couldn't
tell where, lifted itself on a level with
the big mans eye, and the white fingers
clutching the butt never trembled a
hairs breadth as quiet voice uttered
the words:
drop that hat"
The hat fell from the giants grasp
and the quiet voice continued:
Now you sit down or I'll kill your
The muzzle of the weapon was not six
inches from the mans eye, and | saw
him turn from red to white in ter
seconds. He backed away at the com
mand, sat down in seat opposite, and
never stood up or spoke another word dur
ing his ride of twenty miles. He had 9
navy under his coat, but something In
that quiet voice and blue eye warned
him that the move of q finger on lis par
would crash bullet into his head.

claimed to have lost considerable bv
the skipping out Of his partner, ID

pleted Hoffman's contracts. Amorg
she buildings put up entirely or il
part under his supervision were the

houses on Jones street, ana John
Iorniek's wholesale drug store
This is the Herll's account. about
100 men gathered at the depot al
aalf-past 5 o'clock last evening. To-
start for Idaho and work on the
Oregon Short Line railway, under u
contractor named Rumble, who had

loving advertisement, and by dodg

Rumble, who has been in this city
off and on for about two months,
and absent in the west when not in
Omaha, was at the depot during the
afternoon, collecting 81 for his fees
from each man and took the 3:40
train for Council Bluffs, he said he

him to bring them over. Halfpast
5 the hour for the arrival Of the en-
grant train came, but Rumble did
not appear, and the men found that

from Iowa, and are in bad fix
Several of the men crossed to Coun
ell Bluffs and learned there, and tel
egraphed back, that Rumble had no
teams there and that he had not
stopped, but had taken the North
western train for Chicago. A gentle

The Bon Homme Convention,

Press Il nakotaian.
The prediction that Pettigrew 5
stickers in Bon Homme county
would resort to any means, however
disreputahle, in their efforts to carry
the convention for Pettigrew, was
verified in yesterdays convention
proceedings. Finding themselves
in the minority they first endeavor-
ed to tlisplace the regularly chosen
chairman Of the convention by brute
force and after being dubbed of by
his plucky adherents, they retired
to corner Of the room and held a
convention Of their own and elected
q contesting delegation to 90 to
Grand Forks. The boilers, led by
G. 4. Mccoy, numbered fourteen
and the anti Pettigrew men, regular
~ elected as delegates to the con-
yention, numbered twenty-ninc. IL
thus appears that because twenty
nine delegates would not yield to
the dictation of fourteen delegates,
the fourteen withdrew from the pro-
ceedings and set upa convention Of
their own. The Grand Forks con-
yelltion cannot admit this Bon
Honnc county contcsting delega-
tion II il acts il q spirit of fairness.

Beyond the Rubicon.
The NOrthnesterns Build One Humid
red Miles From Gailiope snto ID. ko,u.


Ni'uA Wy JVurIdl.
In the issue of the LIST inst. the
Journal gave the first information
that the engineers OF the Northwest
ern would shortly cross the
Big Sioux at Calliope to locate line
west or northwest in Dakota. The
more important information was re-
ceived yesterday that the Northwest
ern will build not less than 100
miles of road in southeastern Dakota
this season. Except that this will
be connected with the Calliope line
there is no pointer as to the
route. The amount mentioned
would not furnish connection with
Huron, for it is l25 miles from Cal
Hope to Huron as the crow flies,
aud further by ten to twenty miles
by the shortest route practical BILE.
that up the Vermillion valley. The
engineers now west OF the Big Sioux
under charge of Division Engineer
Hurley will soon settle as to the
route. To build 100 miles Of road
beginning at this time in the year
will take lively work, even over the
prairie of southeastern Dakota. This
move Of the Northwestern will like.
ly induce the Milwaukee to build
the Jim river line right off.
