When the bag had been deposited in
the wagon and the driver had whipped
up his horses ana vanished. the citizens
called on Beebe and congratulated him
on his success IN his new place. Then
all hands went away and awaited devei-
opments.
These came to-day. when q special
agent arrived, deposed Beebe, and com
lnIssioned Duff Is postmaster. he said

and ran into the grocery, where he

anc the mail carrier had settled their
differences the former went after the

was not safe. BY this time the town
wss on the outside watching the fun.
The driver and Beebe tired various ex-

ONE WILDCAT POST PAID.
A Humorous Citizen DeyIses n Scheme
to Bounce n Postmaster.

The postmaster here died about year
ago and considerable trouble has been
experienced in finding a new one who
would be satisfactory and competent,
says q Guntown IN. NJ correspondent
OF the New York sun. For long time
there was no appointment, the dimiUu-
tive weekly mail being opened on arrival
by the first man who happened TO get il.
At length the people concluded 10 pc
tition for the appoint Of Sam Duff, who
keeps a saloon here. He was = Jackson
Democrat and his standing in the COM
munIty was good. The only other men
in the town who had the facilities for
keeping the office were another saloon
keeper named Fritz, and q grocer, who
also kept liquor, named Beebe. AS the
request for Duffs appointment was
almost unanimous, il was supposed that
he would get the place, but alter awhile
Beebe was appointed. as the special
agent at Santa Fe explained, because
Duff kept 3 saloon, and II was against
the policy of the administration 20
appoint saloon-Keepers. That made
everybody mad. Beebe had never been
popular, was unable 10 read or write.

people said
To get even with all hands. the ciri-
zens held 3 meeting and put NJ 8 Job

The farms of America equal the entire
territory of the Uni ed Kingdom, Franco,
Belgium. Germany, Aus rii, Hun sary and

larger than Holland and twice as large as
