little surprise this morning when it be-
came generally known that Mrs. l.. NJ

resigned her office, the resignation to take
effect at once and that Mr.. A. j. Stranger
had been made acting postmaster by Mail
Agent Weaver, who was here yesterday.
Some days ago Mrs Campbell notified
her sureties that she wished TO retire from
the Office, and they at once telegraphed Tor
an inspector. The inspector made an eX-
animation of the Office yesterday, ana 1t IS
supposed that everything is all right.
Mrs. Campbell has been in bad health for
some time and this is supposed to be the
cause of her resignation. She was seen to-
day by THE GAZETTE correspondent but
stated that she had no statement TO make
except that her health is bad. She appears
quite ILL.,
Several applicants are already in the
field for the Office. OF these Col. E. W.
Morten, well known in Fort Worth, per-
hans has the inside track. He has the
Endorsement of prominent Republicans
throughout the state.

Mt..issippl River Improvement.

Chairman Blanchard of the rivers and
harbors committee says: 1T is well known
here among friends of the Mississippi river
that the separate bill for the river recently
reported TO the senate can not pass both
houses, and the only chance for an appro-
priation for the river is on the regular
river and harbor bill This, he says, is
now and always has been the situation
here, and the separate bill actually does
harm, in that it embarrasses the appropria-
tion for the river in the rivers and harbors
bill, where alone it has a chance of passage.
He says the rivers and harbors committee
will take good care Of the Mississippi river
interests, as it has always done.

Duties of Presidential Electors.

The electors in each State meet at
their State Capitol, and send their votes
for president and vice president, sealed,
to the president of the Senate in Wash
ington. The packages remain sealed
until the two houses of Congress meet
to count the votes Then the president
of the senate breaks the seals in the
presence of the two houses and the
votes are counted. The successful can
didates are those who receive the ma
jority of the electoral votes, not those
who carry the greatest number of states.
If no candidate has a majority of the
electoral votes for president, then the
president is elected by the House of
Representatives, each state delegation
having one vote and the successful can
didate must have a majority of the
states. For further details of their duties
and compensation under the laws of

tile sections of Idaho, and the famous
Camas Prairie of Idaho county is an

The mineral sections of this section,

Senator Geo. l.. Shoup, and AS he is
heavily interested in Custer and Lemhi
counties he will undoubtedly use his in

pletion as soon as possible.
The governor is personally acquainted
with the territory through which the
road is to be built, but there being no
state statistican he will write at once to
prominent farmers and business men in
the section indicated and get full re-
