Oilcer Button, Of the Union Depot, picked
up the other day memorandum book eyl.

Fair. All the entries were made in bust
ness like manner, and some Of them are
readable. The first entry II:
"Shall take SIG with mc to theState Fair.
Second class hotel good enough for me.
Beware of pickpockets. Keep your eyes
open for goodlooking widow. View the
animals, and don't forget to take two clean
handkercLieis along"
The second entry reads:
"Fair up TO the average. Saw a widow In
the car going up. Didn't seem to like my
style. Somebody has stuck me with bogus
half-dollar Saw another widow on the
grounds. Rather to stout. Viewed the
animals and was Kicked by stecr.n
Third CntIy-"Lood attendance. Slept
on the floor. Jam on the street cars. Passed
the bogus money or on bootblaclk. Saw
widow at the hotel Most too lean. Went
to the theatre last night. Can't remember
tho play. Saw several widows, but no
chance to make an impression"
Fourth cntry-"Big crowd en- the
grounds. Beat my way in. Saw a widow
on TIE fence. Most too boisterous for my
locality. Saw o horse race. One horse
beat all the others. Viewed the machinery
and was hit on the ear by loafer. Saw
widow viewing headless rooster. Mouth
most too large for my part of the State.
Slept In barn for nothing"
Fifth entry-"Saw a widow In the post
office. Blind in one eye. No good. Big
jam. Tried to beat my way in, but couldn't.
Saw horse race. Saw widow on the
grand stand. Bowed to her. Cold cut.
Viewed the big OK. Saw widow in Honey

GENERAL CONDITION POWDER,

This may be used as the very best treat
ment in Epizootic, Distemper, Swollen Glands
and should be administered especially after
hard drive to prevent the animal from being
feverish. 1t is indispensable in colds and
coughs

WORM POWDER.

This is the only sure remedy ever used
for those anoying pests. If the animal is so
troubled they will be expelled in very short
time after the first administration, leaving the
horse in excellent condition and the hair

This remedy is so convenient that the

laudanum every hours for or hours and

III addition 10 the reduction of letter
postage from cents to 2, which takes
effect next October, some other changes
Of interest to the public were made by
the postal laws enacted at the last corr
gress These relate chiefly to the trans
mission of sdtis OF money by mail. The
money order system is improved by
| raising the limit Of the amount that can
be thus forwarded from $50 to 500, and
reducing the charge OH orders under $40
to s cents. But the provision which
will bring most convenience to the peo-
pie is that authorizing the issue Of postal
notes. This is nothing more than an
expedient to supply the place Of frac-
tional currency. whose one merit was
that it furnished medium for convey.
ing small sums of money from one point
to another without the trouble or ex-
pense OF procuring a postal order. The
new postal notes, which are designed
for this particular purpose, will be is
sued for all sums less than S. at a
charge of 3 cents for each. They are to
be placed on sale just as postage stamps
are. and the buyer has no security i'm
case they 60 astray in the mails. They
will resemble somewhat the orders is
sued by express companies, but will be
made payable to bearer, at any time
within three months the date Of issue.
1t is expected that these notes will soon
be ready foi issue, and they will supply
a want which has been very generally
felt. The number Of purchases for
which the money must be sent by mail
is extremely large, and the only means
Of transmission at present are money or
ders, postage stamps or checks all at.
tended with considerable inconvenience
to sender Or receiver. The obvious
criticism Of the new law is that the cost
Of the notes is out of all proportion to
the expense Of the government in fur
nishing them. The cost Of paper and
engraving will be but trifling, and as the
government incurs no responsibility for
their transmission, but merely redeems
them, by whomsoever they may be
presented, charge Of l cent for each
note would probaly leave this part Of
the postofiice fund with surplus That
this would be SO, is certain when it is
considered that large number will be
lost, destroyed by accident, or never
presented for redemption. A very con-
siderable amount Of the old fractional
currency has never been redeemed, and
is known to have Disappeared, leaving
the government go mitch the gamer.
The same will be true Of the postal notes,
and this is one department where it
ought to be recognized principle that
the people shall not have to pay more
than actual cost for the convenience
thew enjoy. Postal notes will become a
permanent feature Of our system, and
the next congress may very properly
reduce the price Of them to l cent each.

that there might be route started some
where in the United States that did not

them an eastern outlet independent Of

We would like TO get hold OF cohy
/ Of the bill introduced by j. w. Nowlin,
and now law, amending the towsitc
act SO as 90 throw the sale Of town lots
not yet disposed ofinto the hands Of the
prctt,te judge We have heard of the
bill buf cannot get copy. The law az
it formerly stood, provided, that when
anyone desired to purchase one OF more
lots, they must get up a petition 10 the
district judge who thereupon ordered
the sale through the town board, ws are
now speaking of the law as it affected
/, Custer City where there is no DO ri
Of education. They proceeded TO sell
and, we believe, the judge exercised the
right of refusing TO confirm if from any
reason lie thought the price was not a
fair one TO the schools who were to fin
ally receive the money. The change is,
as near as we can get At it, something
like this: All reference to the Judge is
done away with and the petition for a
sale may be made either TO the town
board or 70 the probate Judge, either Of
whom can sell lOts at such price as
pleases them, being accountable 10 no
one but the voters who elected them
So that should one desire to buy q lot
he would find it greatly to his advantage
to play off one tribunal against the other
in order TO jew down the price, and
might succeed In getting the pro )erty
for little or nothing. We do not mean
it to be Inferred that such would be the
case, bl; it would be through no effect
Of the law that such would not be the
final result. Just what was Mr.. j. W's
intent in this bill is not altogether APP
parent The law as it formerly stood
threw every safeguard around the prop
erty of the schools, comprised Of town
lots, and the only reason for change
that we can see was, that the door was
too we'll locked and it did not altogether
accord with his ideas Of right and Justice
to have things so we'll secured. 1t be-
ing matter that was Of no possible in
tereSt to anv one except those who
reside in townsites like Custer, which
were located on unsurveyed lands, we
fail to catch on to the great good that
has been accomplished by this bill
