PNEUMATIC MAIL SERVICE.


Colonel Whitfield is experimenting the
! New Work at st. Louis.
| ST. Louis, April 90. Colonel Smith
A. Whitfield, first assistant postmaster
general, who has been in st. Louis for
the past few days on business connected
with the postoftice department., has com
pleted his visit and started ON his return
to Washington.
Colonel Whitfield says that in St.
Louis the first practical pneumatic
services for carrying mail matter will
be introduced.
s'The department has had the idea of
the pneumatic service before it for n
long time, but this is the first instance
where it will be worked out The con-
ditions in St. Louis are peculiarly favor
able.
"In Chicago the distances are so great,
as we'll as the cost of securing right of
way, that it will be some time before
they can have pneumatic transfer In
st. Louis the principal wholesale gro
cerymen are located together in the Cup
pies building, and station will be es-
tablished there they bearing a portion
of the expense.
"a double pneumatic tube, each four
inches in diameter, will be laid from
the central posioffice, to that building,
distance of 5000 feet. This can be done
cheaply. as the route lies through the
st. Louis B-idge company's tunnel, and
no overhead line or subway will be
needed.
"The mail matter is to be borne in
small carriages which will make the
journey in one minute. The expense
of construction will be. taken from the
general appropriation for rents and inn
provements. One reason why the pneu-
matte system has not been established in
the east is the large expense and greater
appropriation which would be unavoid-
able.
Il have no doubt OF the success Of the
proposed. line. Mr.. WaaanIaker and all
his assistants are strongly in favor of
the use of the telegraph in the postal
service. 1t is bound to, come, and was
agreeably surprised in ST. Louis to find
a decided interest on ths subject"

sealers Who Will Try to Work the For
eign Flag Racket.
VICTORIA, B. c., April 26.-Persons
Interested in the sealing industry are
considering a plan forevading the agree
ment between the United States and
Great Britain for the restriction of seal
ing in Beilring sea. Captain Cox, a
well known sealer, says that if the
modus vivendi be enforced for two
years, the only way for many sealers to
do will be to sell their vessels to repre-
Sentatives of other nations. Representa-
tives from Germany and Italy would
probably be here shortly to take the
schooners over and send them to Behring
sea under other flags.
W. d. Hall says that the sealers want
other nations interested, as if England
will not protect sealers, perhaps other
nations would do so. Owners Of
schooners are therefore of the opinion
that if the vessels fly foreign flags, they
will not be prevented from sealing anu
that all the principal nations Of the
world will be interested in the question.
All sealerS, with the exception of two
or three, are fitted out for Behring sea,
and many are about ready to enter the
sea. Schooners here and others which
received the warning early will proba-
bly, go to the Russian coast. If the
government does not change the modus
before next spring it is thought that
sixty British schooners owned in VIC
tora will sill under foreign flags and
look to foreign governments for protec-
tion.

The Portland Oregonian makes an
interesting point relative to the prob
able presidential contest of this year:
Should Benjamin Harrison and Gro
yer Cleveland be the opposing candi-
dates for President this year, as now
seems altogether likely, 1t would be the
first Instance in SO years and the third
in the history of the Government OF a
second race for the Presidency between
the same competitors. Thomas Jeffer-
son and John Adams were the oppos-
Ing candidates in 1856 and $500, and
Martin Van Burenand William Henry
Harrison in 1885 and 1840. In both
these cases the man beaten the first

nOuFGrandfatheTS Time

People attached more value to
and considered longer when
spending a dollar than they do
now when spending five. Our
fol efathers were brought up to
understand that a penny saved
is a penny made, and when
opportunities to save money
presented themselves they
were quick to take advantage
of them.
This same axiom is as true
now as it was then, but instead
cf saving pennies you can save
dollars.
Now that spring is opening
and everybody is expecting to
elk up" in and about their
homes, dollars can be saved by
knowing just where to go for
just what you want to come
within your means, and to be
asst red that no old style and
infe -.ior goods are being push
led off ON you.
The best place you could
possibly strike would be the
large wholesale and retail drug,
book and wall paper house Of
Saur & Balsley, one of the
oldest business houses in Ma
poleon and Henry county.
Here you will find the latest
and nobbiest styles and pat
terms in wall paper and decor
ations, window shades and fix
lures. You will be astonished
at the beautiful designs and at
what a little cost they can be
placed upon your walls and
ceilings, Q" hung at your win
dows. In fact a home can be
made attractive and comforta-
BILE at a very small outlay,
when the necessaries are pur-
chased at this house.
Then if you wish to bright
en- up your wood work, either
in or outside, Saur & Balsley
can fit you out at a very small
expense with a supply Of their
ready mixed paints, in any col
or, which you can apply your
self, thereby saving the labor
of an expert. The paints and
oils handled by this firm are all
warranted, and brands which.
have been sold by them for
years. They also carry large
stock of varnishes, brushes, etc.
In the spring time, when the
weather is SO changeful, dol
lars can also be saved in doc
tor bills by laying in q supply
Of the handy medicines which
Saur & Balsley always keep on
hand. As disease eradicators
and preventatives they have
no equal. They have all the
time-tried and well known
remedies, compounded frou
fresh and pure drugs, and can

are adapted for.
