found that he had suffered conclusion
of the brain and from its effects he never
rallied. Mr., McHugh was an old printer
and we'll known to the craft all over the

Hi Henry's celebrated troupe of Ethio.
plan Ministries will give an entertainment
at Turner Hall next Friday evening,
March 81. No company on the road is
meeting with more success than Henry's.
The combination comprises % artists of
acknowledged ability in their line and
therefore performance we'll worth at
tending may be expected. A crowded
house will no doubt greet them here.
From among number of complimentary
press notices regarding this troupe we
take the following:
The entertainment given by Hi Hen.
rvs Minstrels at the Opera house on
Monday evening was ore of the best it
has ever been our pleasure to attend in
this city. The music and performance
were par excellence, and the immense
audience in attendance was highly pleas
ed. The jokes were new and original,
and the entire performance was a grand
success. We cheerfully commend Mr.
Henryssand his talented troupe to the
public, and wish for them a successful
and prosperous career.-LaUrence Kan. }

The performance of Hi Henry's
Minstrel troupe Thursday night was the
best that has been given here for years,

the n w. road is broken and no night
mail can now be dispatched south as
70 merIy. Postmaster Moak has written
to Supt. White en- the subject and expects
to have an order for the exchange of
pouches with Jefferson, Fort Atkinson,
GAINESVILLE and perhaps other offices, and
than the grievance so far as this Office is
concerned, will be removed. 1t is ex
pected where competitions are now broken
there will be a new arrangement of time
tables to accommodate the fast train and
take advantage of its facilities for fur
nishing early mail The Eastern mail,
connecting with this train leaves New
York at $40 p. m. We see no reason
why it might not leave hours earlier,
which would certainly be more satisfac-
tory to points west of here, and accom-
modate Everybody better, except the
publishers OF Chicago morning papers.
Were the train to leave Chicago at / a.
m. instead of 3 a. m. as now, they could
not print in time to dispatch their papers
with it, and it is natural they should
want the time for departure no earlier
than at present. The postal authorities,
after observing what improvements can
be made, if any, in the service will ur-
doubtedly adopt them, for Postmaster
General Gresham and his assistant, Mr..
HattOn, are practical men and thoroughly
determined to give the public the best
postal service that can be. had.

Where the EnMLt is,

The Gazette last week complained of
the inefHciency of the railway mail SER
vice, but it failed to state why the same
is not as perfect as it should or might BE-
The Gazette's party friends in congress,
Mr.. Winans from this district among
the number, are responsible in a great
measure for the difficulty, in failing to
make a sufficient appropriation for the
service. Notwithstanding the mails are
constantly increasing (Iast year IL, 90 per
cent. with the growth of population and
the opening up of the new hallway lines
CAST year 1000 miles, the Democrats in
congress have voted only $4,000 where
an appropriation of 1918 900 was called
for and was actually required to meet the
increased demands of the service. The
Post Master General can only employ
just as many postal clerks as the money
allowed him for that purpose will pay,
and if enough men are not furnished to
do the work properly, of course the SER
vice must suffer. The Democrats, be-
cause this is a presidential year, are
whiting down appropriations to the
lowest point for the purpose of making
political capital, without regard to the
effect it may have upon the public well
fare. The present force of postal clerks on
many roads is wholly inadequate for
the service and should be largely in
creased to keep up with the additional
work put upon them. 1.-THE Democrats
in congress will not consent to this, the
public will hold them accountable.

A fast mail train from Chicago to Min.

1t reached Milwaukee at $40 where
Postmaster Payne, Edward Sanderson
and Supt. W. G.. Collins joined the party,
and after stop of five minutes sped
westward, reaching Watertown at 6:45.
Postmaster Moak boarded the train at
this point and made the trip to Mime
apolis which was accomplished at 3:55 p.
m.
The train will be exclusively for mail,
conveying no passengers, leaving Chicago
at o'clock a. m. and arriving in Mime
apolis at o'clock p. N. and by it New

after mailing. The Chicago morning
papers will be here ready for delivery
at o'clock. This new order of things
was so sudden and unexpected that the
public has hardly yet been able to realize
it. While the new arrangement has its
advantages, it likewise has its drawbacks,
but the latter will probably be removed
entirely or materially dimished without
unnecessary delay. At present connec@
