WOULD NOT CONSENT TO
Rural Mail Delivery.

Postmaster General Wannamaker is
certainly man of broadguage business
ideas, He advocates universal free de
livery of mail in the farming districts,
and expresses his belief that such deliv
cry would he self-sustaining In The
American Agriculturist for November
he gives the details Of an experience in
this direction, in which the increased
revenue more than paid the increased
expenditures. This could not be ex-
pected in the morse sparsely settled
country districts, but the aggregate in
the country at large might show bal
ance on the right side of the ledger.
Certainly no greater boon could be
conferred upon the dwellers in country
districts than daily mail delivery. 1t
would bring them into contact with the
world more directly and intimately than
any other emergency. 1t would largely
increase the volume of mail, as the
farmers who get daily mail would be
quite likely to take more daily papers
and to receive more letters. 1t would
make living in the country vastly
pleasanter, and thus it would be likely
to increase the rural population and
make every farm more valuable.
The idea suggested by Mr.. Wanna
maker has taken strong hold on popu.
lar favor, and letters are being writer
to congressman and petitions will pool
into the next congress in favor Of the
project. 1t is step in the right direc

Larimore happenings

LAR1MonE, N. D., Oct. 19.-The Elk
Valley Farming Co. have four or
five threshing outfits running on their
big farm.
The firm of Mathews & Clone are do
ing a rushing business. Wheat is what
they deal in.
Threshing is progressing rapidly after
the rain. The yield is much better than
expected and the quality very good, the
damp weather having affected it but
little.
A few evenings ago Bishop Walker
delivered to the people of Larimore a
very interesting address in his cathe-
dral car. The car was filled to over
flowing and large crowd stood outside
endeavoring to catch word.

Larimore Pioneer, has purchased new

New York, Oct. 21.-The Financial

Better Times OH the Jim

Huron, s. D, Oct. 21.-During the
past two weeks large shipments of
household goods and immigrants NOV
ables have been received here from east,
ern points-more than in several months
in the past three years. Many of the
families coming in are those who left
here because of crop failures. They are
returning and bringing with them others
who are seeking cheap homes. Present
indications point to the early occupancy
of the numerous vacant farms in this
part OF the Jim River Valley. The com,
ing spring is certain to witness large
immigration. The outlook has not been
so encouraging for several years as at
the present time. Farmers generally
are preparing for additional acreage
next season, and there is every reason to
believe the results next year will far ex-
ceed those just experienced.

CHICAGO Oct. 19-The people who
have been bowling for several years be-
cause of the organization OF car service
associations, whereby the railroads as
sess shippers and oonsignees small
sum for the detention of cars longer
than forty eight hours after arrival at
destination, are taken aback by the &C.

missioners. The board has issued
circular ordering all railroad companies
in Texas to charge and collect from
consignees the sum of SO per car per
day for the use of all cars not unloaded
after forty eight hours notice to the
consignee or his agent. In Chicago and
other points throughout the west only
81 per day is charged after orty-eight
hours notice, and yet there is no end of
complaint.

A Northern Man for Speaker.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.- Ex-senator
Wade Hampton says there is strong
feeling among the conservative demo-
cratic leaders of the south in favor Of
choosing northern man for speaker. eff
I had the decision of this matter" he
says. Il would not elect one of the three
southern candidates. but would take
some northern or western representa-
tive for the place I think that in the
last general election we suffered as
much from Mr.. Carlisle appointing SO
many southern men as chairmen of
leading committees as from any other
cause. They were as capable, as pains
taking and as efficient as any that he
could have chosen, but in the north
political capital was made of his course
in this direction. Tie politicians are
not for Cleveland in the south, but the
people are with him heart and soul

women were very numerous, especially
in fashionable districts, and they came

places the boards of registration de-

A FIGHTING CHANCE
at the pols-a chance which they say
they propose to take the fullest possible
advantage of. In suburban towns over
which the commissioners of elections
have no control, many women's names
were put upon the registers. In the
aristocratic suburb of Evanston the
members of the board of registration
did not appear at the polling places,
and about 100 prominent ladies met and
formulated a statement setting forth
that fact. and the further fact that they
had presented themselves for registra-
ton, but were prevented from having
their names entered by reason of the
board's absence.

1t has already been ascertained that the
Chilian mob made the attack and that
the onslaught was brutal one. The
Chilians were all armed with knives and
pistols whereas the Americans had but
few weapons and were slow in using
them. The Chilian sailors and boat

New YORK, Oct. 20.-The steamship
Dunedin has arrived, two weeks from
Clenfuegos, and had hard battle with

Her coal gave out while the tempest

bags of sugar were taken out and pitched
into the fire. The ship was rolling and

She drifted 1870 miles out of her course,
and managed to get here only after
