last Thursdays edition of the Tele-
qram and Thursdays edition of the
Mail The first named sent in 2.4ls pounds.
about 40 600 papers Of It's Thursday editions
The largo amount excited suspicion and an
investigation was started with the result of
securing what is considered good evidence
that the papers were designed
for distribution solely in the
interest of 8 certain brand of Cigars. The
Nails, edition sent TO the office weighed l. =
549 about fifteen thousand papers, and was
found to contain the same advertisement
General I.ieb maintains that the papers
should be paid for at the classmates. which
is one cent for every two ounces OF fraction
thereof if IN bundle or one cent on each
paper if single. The postage in that case
would eight or more times the second
class rate, which is one cent per
pound. In the case of the telegram the
papers were wrapped; directed and sent to
the Office by Scandinavian advertising
agency that makes a business Of furnishing
names and addressing and mailing circulars

amount Of money which Uncle Sam claims
on the one edition of the telegram will
amount TO nearly two hundred dollars and
