On October / the two-cent psstoge
stamps will disPlace the three-cent
stamps. The postoffice officials do
not think that this reduction will
seriously interfere with the revenues
of the department. They calculate
upon an increase in the number OF
letters sent and also think that bust
ness men who now send out unssal-
ed envelopes containing circulars, up
on which the postage is but one cent,
will now prefer to seal them as the
increased cost will be so small There
are Others, however, who think the
reduction was i'll advised at this
time. For the first time in its his
tory the postal department is now
paying its owe expenses, and those
who object to the reduction believe
that the revenues will be largely cut
down by the change. They think
it.sbould have been postponed a few
years.

ton, Capt. God win hiredMr. Stones
team and drove out seven or eight,
miles to visit a cousin OF his. In the
evening as he was returning to town
the horses showed signs of fright on
two or three occasions, and the Cap.
tain kept suspicious eye on them
fearing that something serious might
take place. Nothing went wrong.

wagon, and drove down to town
himself. Mr.. Stone returned TO his
home Immediately, drove inside the
barn yards and was just in the act Of
slightiDg from the wagon, when HE
horses took fright again and start ed
TO run. He was thrown out of the
wagon, and dragged some dat ance

immedi ately started in pursuit Of
the horses but, did not succeed in
getting them until they had reached
