WhaJ MAY be written or PRINTED on
second, Third end Fourth Class
Matter

What NAV be Written or PRINTED OF
second, Third end Fourth Glass
Matter.
The public will remember the excite
ment caused by Postmaster General Villas
Ia enforcing an old and for years dead
law of the department. which prohibited
any writing or printing on second, third
or fourth class ma il matter, except the
name and address. 1t was foolish law,
and Mr.. Villas saw that the quickest way
to have it repealed was to enforce it,
and he was right The senate has
passed the house bill giving more liberty
to the public, and when signed by the
president, as 1t will be. it will become a
law. Some time ago the ARGUS advised
those of our merchants who had wrap
pers and envelopes with too much prints
ing on them. to preserve them, as they
would soon have an opportunity to use
them Besides the name and address OF
the person to whom the matter is to be
sent the following marks, written or
printing are permitted:
Index figures of subscription book, the
title of the publication and the place of
publication, the name aud address OF the
publisher or sender, words indicating the
date of the termination of the subscrip-
ton, corrections of typographical errors
and marks to call attention TO special
passages. 1t Is also provided that pub
fishers or news agents may inclose in
their publication bills. receipts and or
ders for subscription thereto, but the
same shall be in such form AS TO convey
no other information than the name,
place of publication, subscription price
of the publication to which they refer,
and the subscription due thereon. Upon
matter of the third class, or upon the
wrapper inclosing the same, the
sender may write his own name, oCcupa>
ton and residence or business address,
preceded by the word from" and may
make marks other than by written or |
printed words to call attention TO any |
word or passage in the text, aud may |
correct any typographical errors. There |
may be placed upon the blank leaves or |
cover of any book or printed matter of
the third class a simple manuscript dedi-
cation or inscription not of the nature of
a personal correspondence.
With package of fourth-class matter
prepaid at the proper rate for that class,
the sender may enclose any mailable
third class matter, and may write upon
the wrapper or cover thereof, or tag or
label accompanying the same, his name,
occupation, residence or business adj
dress. preceded by the word "from," or
may print thereon the same, and any
printed matter not in the nature of a per
sonal correspondence, but there must be
left Oh the address side or face Of the
package space of at least three and
One'half inches in length and TWO and
one-half inches In width, in which moth
ng shall be placed but the address OF the
person to whom the matter is sent.
Cut this out and paste it on your desk
Or in your hat. 1t may prove of value 10

A case that will be of interest to horse.
in Davenport, yesterd ay afternoon Last
summer W. II. and c. T. Webb had a
public sale of live stock on their farm
above Gilbert. A certain horse was put
up for sale and was knocked down" 10
William Davis, of Davenport, for $195.
Mr. Davis was bidding on the horse, and
it was understood by the auctioneer and
Webb Brothers that he would take the
horse. The horse was led away, and the
sale clerk billed the animal to Mr.. Davis.
1t happened, however, that Mr.. Davis
refused to take the horse-disclai
having purchased 1t. Messrs. Webb
sold the animal for $105 to another
party-snd then brought suit against Mr..
Davis for the difference between the
price at which the animal was knocked
down to him. and the price they finally
received for it--and also for cost of feed.
This was estimated by Messrs. Webb to
be about $50. The case was tried to a
jury, William Chamberlain for the plain
tiff and Heinz Il Hirschl for the defense.
The jury returned verdict of $40 with
costs for Messrs. Webb. The defendant
gave notice of appeal to the district
court. 1t promises to be very interest
ing case yet, In law.

7 he Eastern Cattle Market.

"You have No idea," said a gentle
man Interested in a well known stock
company, chow many cattle are now
going east. Unless there is somewhat
of a let-up, the chances are that som,-
one will be badly beaten" The fol-
lowing extract of a review of the Cat lie
market at Chicago is taken from a Gil
cular sent cut by firm there: RI
ceipts of cattle at these yards the
present week have been by far the
largest in the history of the live stock
trade of the world-about 10 coo greater
than the highest previous record. The
causes were several, outside of mare
chance The farmers marketed their
cattle because they heard that the rates
would be raised between Chicago and
New York. The southwestern ranch
men rushed their shipments along be
cause it was given out that the rates
would be raised from $25 to $50 per
car from Kansas City to Chicago, and
the drought in some sections made the
shipping necessity. The nu nber re-
ceived this week will be alb )ut 81 900
head, against 10000 last year, and 6,
COO last week."

Gaining entrance to the store they
cleaned out the north window, contain
ing about eight pair of boots and shoes,
they then took two pair from a shelf
close to the window and 35 cents in
cash from the till. When the store was

noticed to be somewhat out of place,
and investigation proved that bur
glary had taken place. The police were
called and set to work on the case. Mr..

from the safe. He thinks the safe has
not been touched. It has been the
habit for Mr.. Ashby's son to sleep in
