Postoffice Employees Getting Back to Their
Places-The Death Roll Is Still Heavy
and Embraces Some WelI-Known Names
With the Sick.
While number of new cases OF the grip
are reported. and in some instances death, it
is still encouraging to know that by far the
greater number of people who have been

sides deal more generally with those who have
passed through the scourge than with those
who are just entering into its clasp.
Postmaster Mexican is on the high road to
recovery. In fact, his condition is such that
his subordinases in the Postoffice yesterday
were all smiles Then again. they were glad be-
cause the men who had been sick we're gradu-
ally coming back, and that meant less work tor
those who had been so fortunate as to escape.
The reports from the Department of Public
Safety are not quite SO encouraging. There are
Is patrolmen off duty, and there has been con-
sidera BILE difficulty in getting substitutes. Cap
tain Stewart has about recovered, but is still
weak. and the same may be said of Captain
Dan Silvis. Captain Mercer is also suffering
from weakness.
