Special Inspector Spangier VIII
Recommend Its Extension.

Spectal inspector Spangier VIII
Recommend It's Extension.
The free delivery system Of the Omaha
postoffice Is sooh to be reconstructed and OK
tended Special Postoflico Inspector Spangler
arrived in the city yesterday morning. Mr..
Spangler has charge of the free delivery
system. He was stationed In this city about
three years ago asjnspector.
MIR. Spangler suggested to Postmaster Gal.
lagher yesterday that they take look about
the outlying districts of the city in order that
he might have an idea OF the amount of
territory covered, etc He expressed
himself as being surprised and aston
ished at the great changes which had
taken place about the city since he resided
here. Said he: ~ started out with the idea
OF recommending that the districts that now
have but one carrier delivery per day should
be increased to two, but when / saw what
great amount Of territory was not covered ut
all was forced TO the conclusion that the
| service would have to be extended, even II 1t
became thereby impossible to increase the
service in the districts which are now served,
| We are greatly cramped by the appropria-
tiOn for carrier SERVICE and while / recoR-
| nize the fact that Omaha is entitled to more
| carriers, and should have them, II will be i'm
| possible at this time to make all the changes
necessary"
Mr.. Spangler was asked how many addi-
| tlonal carriers he would recommend.
THAT is more than l can state at this
time," he replied. II saw a statement in an
| evening paper to the effect that Mr. Gala
| CHER would ask for fifteen more carriers. l
| don't know where the reporter got his infor
| nation, but am sure he didn't get it from
| MIR. Gallagher. The idea of such an increase Q
| is absurd"
The reporter inferred, from Mr..
| Spangler's remarks, that not more
than five additional carriers would
be recommended. In the course of his re-
| marks, Mr.. Spangler alluded to the crowded
| condition Of the postoffice, and that some
| thing should be done at once to secure addi-
tlonal room. The only way this could be
done would be to rent more room or to build
| an addition in the area west of the building.
He thought commodious one-story addition
| could be built for about $4,000. This would
afford all the room necessary. This matter
should have been attended to long ago, as
the present quarters are entirely too small.
MIR. Spangler said this question was not in
| his province, and should be pushed by the
congressman.

The Indians and the Earthquake.

Inc lndldnS nereaDOutS are Dauly
frightened over the recent shakeups,
and fear that this portion OF California
will be lngulled, says the Susanville
(Cal. Advocate. There Is an old Indian
in Willow Creek valley who has seen
the SHOWS of ninety odd winters, ,and who
declares that he can remember when a
mountain near Frank Perry's place on
Willow creek sank and water surged up,
covering the whole country, and that
the water again subsidized and the noun
tain rose once more. There is tradi-
tion among the Indians here that such
q thing has occurred many times, but
this old fellow declares that he can re-
member such an occurrence. We are
In the midst OF volcanic region, In fact
all this portion Of tho country is OF vol
canic origin, and the frequent and Sc
we're shocks certainly indicate re-
newed activity somewhere.

ELISE'S BEAUTIFUL ARMS.
The Great Triumph and Tragic End
Ofan Artists Model in Berlin.

The Great Triumph and Tragic End
Ofan Artists Model in Berlin.
Two years ago Elise Kemmler, then
eighteen years old, was u waitress at a
restaurant in the students quarter In
Berlin, says the New York Sun. She
was not pretty. She was freckled, :,
square, -shouldered and dumpy. She was
so plain that she did not even get the
usual caresses and love pats which the
German mattresses almost invari-
ably get from every man they serve.
She had, however, one beauty of form
her arms. They were large, white and
noticed them one day, as Elise, with
her sleeves rolled up, brought him his
beer and roast goose. From that day
on Elise was probably more sought after
by young men than any other waitress
in Berlin. Every artist wished her to
sit for him, so that he could paint her
beautiful arms.
After the young artist who discovered
her arms had given their counterpart to
his Hebes and Venuses and Dianas
dozens of other artists wished to repro
duce them on their canvases. AS a
model Elise made double and treble the
money she had earned as waitress.
She spent it all upon her person and be-
came Immediately vain. BY means of
bit of lacing, free use of cosmetics,
and lot OF new gowns she made her.
self over into very attractive young
woman. She had lovers by the dozen.
Hardly an evening passed for the next
two years but that she drank wine with
an artist or student in fine Berlin res
taurant, or sat beside him in some sec
ond-class theater.
A few weeks ago Elise had an en-
gagement to sit for the young artist
who discovered her. She went TO his
room and prepared to reveal the beau
tiful arms which he had wished to
paint. He told her, however, that she
need not take the trouble; he had found
a woman with more finely molded arms
than hers. She threw herself on the
floor and wept. He tossed her
some money to comfort her. She
threw it back to him and
hurried off home. There she locked
herself in her rooms. For two days she
refused admittance 70 every one and ate
nothing. On the morning of the third
day her landlady was attracted to her
bedroom by groans. On the bed lay
Elise in conyulsions. She confessed
that she had poisoned herself, but
begged the landlady not TO summon a
doctor, as she wished to die. A physi-
clan who was called In considered her
incurable. She was sent TO the charity
hospital, where she died two days later,
