Federal Buildings.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE senate
postoffice bill, now before the house,
authorizes the construction of federal
building in every city or town where the
gross postal receipts for three proceeding
years have exceeded $4,000 and have
not exceeded $4,000. The cost of build
ing and site is to be governed by the
gross postal receipts for three preceding
years and in no case is to exceed $4,000.
The buildings are to be constructed with
view to future enlargement as thelocal
postofice business Increases. The work
of purchasing sites and constructing
buildings is to progress only as fast as
congress makes the necessary appropri-
ations. All plans are to be approved by
the postmaster general, the secretary of
the interior and the secretary of the
treasury. Public sentiment decidedly
approves the spirit of such measure.
1t is fair criticism of the senate bill to
say that even the econ omists will prob
ably oppose it on the ground of tempor-
any expediency only. True economy is
subseryed by housing all federal en-
ployes in buildings belonging to the
government, and the senate bill is a
move in the right direction.

Another WIN contest.

LINCOLN, Neb., April 1O.-About
twenty years ago Elder Jason G. Miller
adopted, from founding hospital in
Chicago, a baby girl, and brought her to
his home in this city. He died in Cali
fornia three months ago leaving an es-
tate valued at 100000, largely real es-
tate in Lincoln. In the meantime the
girl, against the wishes of her foster par
ents, married, becoming Mrs. E. O.
Lewis. Elder Miller left will be-
queathing the larger part of his wealth
to charity and nothing to the daughter.
Mrs. Lewis now brings suit for half the
estate.

STATE OFFICIALS.
Some time ago Frank Frazier of Uma-


tilla county bought number of mort
cages at sheriff's tax sale. Frazier
paid his money for the mortgages and
the sheriff gave him a receipt that certi-
fed to the facts of the sale and payment
of the money. In other words the
sheriff sold him certain mortgages but
instead of delivering the goods on pay
ment of the money the sheriff simply
gave him receipt. Now Frazier sues
the mortgages. He wants the mortgages
foreclosed and the defendants bebarred
from all interest in them save the right
of redemption. The case will most likely
go to the supreme court for final decis-
ion and then it will be known if the
taxes can be collected on an Oregon
mortgage. We believe Frazier's only
remedy lies in suing the sheriff for the
recovery of the money he paid him for a
thing the sheriff sold and got paid for
but never delivered.

wasting vaIuable rime.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-In view of
the fact that time is rapidly passing
away and there is literally nothing to
show for it from congress, correspond
ent of the New York Sun suggests the
revival of the rule of the old Roman
senate, which obliged every senator who
introduced new law to do so with a
cord around his neck. If the law failed
to pass, its sponsor was strangled. As
method of reducing the bulk of the
Congressional Record and shortening the
sessions of congress, and legislatures as
well, this would certainly be effective.

A woman nurled by rwo Hu.band..


Some years since young woman
named Gardiner married in Scotland 4
man named Zadrean. They quarreled
and separated, and the woman afterward
married man named Smith. But q
short time elapsed before separation took
place in this case also, and third mar,
rage was contracted with man named
Bowhill. The parties. however, did not
reside long together, the woman from
that time forward living alone. Tues
day she poisoned herself, the body being
found in bed the next morning.
At the coroner's inquest, when a yer.
dict to that effect was returned, it was
stated that Zadrean had not been found,
but Smith and Bowhill were In attend
ance. The latter produced his certih.
cate of marriage and claimed the Ger
tificate Of death. After discussion a
compromise was arrived at, Smith TAX
ing the coroner's certificate, and the two
men agreeing to share the cost Of the
funeral. while it was arranged to bury
the woman in the name Of Zadrean

Householders who may never have

coal at time. Coal men will tell You
that this fuel rapidly loses in quality.
The gases pass off by exposure or some
thing of that kind, and with them the
heating power diminishes. There is one
thing, however, that is q necessity In
making the most of this kind OF thrift.
The coal bought in small quantities
