POSTAL RECEIPTS.

A Slight Decrease Shown for the Last
Quarter, but the Returns Gratifying.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Third Assist
Postmaster General Hazen has compiled a
statement, based upon the returns from 140
post offices which usually return one-half
of the postal revenues, showing that the
gross receipts for the quarter ended De
cember 81, 1888, were $5,653, $40. This is
a falling off from the receipts during the
corresponding quarter in the previous
year Of $1S3, ,S54, or 1910 per cent.
As the reduction in postage went into
effect during this quarter, the returns
were awaited with some anxiety by the
postal officials, who were in some doubt
in regard to the effect Of the reduced rate
upon the revenues Of the department. As
a loss Of . per cent. in revenues had been
expected, these returns are very crafty
ing. as they indicate that the department
Will be in receipt of revenue sufficient. at

ent fiscal year. Brooklyn shows an increase
over the corresponding quarter in 1892 Of
$5,G51, Cleveland of So, ,3S2, Washington of
S5.3l4 and Buffalo of $9,076. The New
York office collected 81, ,197, ,30j, a decrease

crease of $40, 455, and Chicago collected
S5l3. l3O, a decrease of $11,2S1 when COM

The Lecture.

The lecture given by Mrs. Marian
Baxter last night at the new opera house
not only entertained greatly those who
listened to it, but some passages thrilled
them as only the truly eloquent can. She
showed herself al home on tho rostrum,
and with eloquent diction, clear thought,
strong logic, forced home to the convio-
tions of the hearers the fact that she
earnestly, honestly believed the positions
she took were just and right. Under
the subject "Handwriting on the Wall"
she predicted that the temperance ques-
ton was the coming issue, and that the
parties which lodged 1t must go down.
The speaker won the admiration of those
who might differ with her views, and her
fearless manner of expressing what to
her seemed the truth was highly CON-
mended. She is evidently q woman of
more than ordinary ability, and o~ratory
is surely n of her gifts.

The 20" Ahead.

Mr.. Charles Keith, the general agent
of the Chicago. Burlington q Quincy
railway, was lately presented by his son
witt. a huge bull dog. Heretofore Mr..
Keith's interest in dogs has been very
limited, he giving them a wide berth,
but for some reason he became attached
to this animal, and thinking that it's
superiority of breed and training made
it a valuable acquisition, concluded to
keep it and turn it to a more practical
use than most dogs are put to-. : He en-.
gage four BARRIERS to dye the letters
&C, b. and O." on one side and "K. G."
ON the other, with 80" on the TOP of

took the BARRIERS six hours to dye the let

DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.
n Man Knocked Down by Two
Rufians and His Money and
Watch Taken.

A young man named Charles Thomp-
son was robbed in a bold n yester.
day afternoon about 5 o'clock. He had
been at work on a farm in Mills county
near Glenwood and came to thus city yes
terday, intending to cross the river to
attend tho wedding of his sister, who
was to be married IN Omaha last even
ing. He spent part of the day in hunt
ing up old acquaintance here, and late in
the afternoon started down to the transfer
on foot. He says that after getting along
between the Powers building and the
transfer, he heard two men coming up
behind him, but paid little attention to
them, supposing they we're going down to
the depot simply. TO his astonishment,
one hit him on the back of the head with
n club, and as he staggered back under
The blow the other hit him n blow in the
face with his fist, knocking him to the
ground. They her went through his
pockets, getting his purse containing $26
and a silver watch, which was a present
from his mother, now dead. IA soon as
he could recover sufficiently to go ON his
way he proceeded to the transfer. 1t was
just about the time fer the starting of the
evening trains, and Ohicers Mcmillan
and Beswick at once commenced a search
through the trains for the men. Ferry
McCulldoum, the telegraph boy at the
transfer, also did good service in the
search, but it was in vain. The robbed
man thought that his assailants ran
towards town instead of towards the
transfer. The wounds he received were
sufficiently severe to cause the blood to
flow freely, and his features were 80
swollen as not to be very p~resentable at
the wedding.
Traces of blood were found by the
officers on the Chicago, Burlington d
Quincy track about a quarter of q mile
east Of the transfer, and it seems that
must have been the scene of the assault.
A number of men were engaged track
laying not far away, SC hat the boldness
of the robbery by daylight is the more
striking. 1t is thought Thompson was
under the influence of drink, viii CHI made
HIM a more available victim for the
assault.

Weeks and months before election in

1t is possible, and even probable, that
q man aud his wife may disagree on poll
tics rs they might ON religion. The
husband may believe in Andrew jackson
and q relentless hell, while his wife may
be a stalwart and rather liberal on the
question of eternal punishment. If the

in other matters till he can't see out of

in the matter of national and local poll
tics.
These are a few facts about the actual
workings of female suffrage, and l do

men who do vote; but no one can tell
what the ultimate effect of a change
might be. So far rs Wyoming is con-
cerned the territory is prosperous and
happy. l see, also, that u murderer was
hung by process of law there the other
day. That looks like the onward march
OF reform whether female suffrage had
any thing to do with it or not. And
they are going to hang another in March
If the weather is favorable and executive
clemency remains dormant, as l think it
will. All these things look hopeful. We
can't tell what the territory would have
been without female suffrage, but when
they begin to hang men by law instead of
moonlight, the future begins to brighten
up. When you have to get up in the
night to hang a man every little while
and don't get any per diem for it, you
feel as though you were a good way from
