annoyance to the postal service, aggra-

III PaSo, Texas, in 3 mock expression OF
sympathy for the postmaster whose
Office has been flooded with mail as a
result. The number OF cancelled

POSTPONED TO AUGUST I4TH.

At the meeting OF the Commercial
club Monday it was decided to
postpone the meeting Of editors in
Mankato one week-tO August l4th.
The reason for change of date was &C.
caSiOned because OF the meeting OF
the United Typotheta of America in
the twin cities next week, and the
meeting of the Northwestern Mime
sofa Editorial Association at Alex
andria on the Sth. Both of these
gatherings come upon dates which
would prevent goOdly number OF
newspaper men from visiting our City,
and as we want all the boys here il
was thought best to change the date.
so that there would be no conflict.
The committee has q large number Of
acceptances and few regrets, and il is
now believed that the attendance will
be large.
The club voted $3.50 for furnishing
the club rooms and empowered the
committee to 90 ahead and purchase
the necessary carpets, furniture, etc.

POWER FOR ELEVATORS.
Plans for Running Them When Water
is Shut Off.

The officials of the Young Mems In
vestment company and Manager Snow,
Of The Saulpaugh, are considering
what power to use in the place of
water power tor running the elevators.
They have several plans under con-
sideration, and have had considerable
correspondence. Mr.. Snow looks most
fayorably upon the plan of using steam
to force water which shall run the
elevator, thus using the same water
over again. The officials of the Young
Mems building are considering a
similar plan, only the water in their
case would be pumped by gasoline
engine into tank in the roof. They
are also considering the use of cleo
tricity, provided that the Gas and
Electric Light company will furnish
power at a reasonable rate.
The Electric Light company is con-
sidering the putting in of machinery
which shall furnish power in the day
time to whoever may want to use it.
1t will do this if sufficient business is
assured to make the expenditure
profitable one. In d city of this size
there ought to be plenty of business
for a power plant.

G. H. Piper was in the city today,
and stated to a FREE PRESS reporter
that he was in Anamosa, Iowa, a
few days ago, and learned consider
able about Curtiss, alias w. C. Will
on, formerly of this city. He Was
informed by an official there that
Wilson is sick, so sick that the
chances were that he would die be-
fore the time set for his trial in Sep
TENDER Wilson is in Jail, and
seems to be "going all to pieces" to
quote Mr.. Piper's informant.
Mr.. Piper also learned that Will
sons first wife is a highly estimable
lady. At Anamosa he left many
debts, and no sympathy there is felt
for him and no lenience will be shown
him on his trial. Public sentiment is
strongly against him, although before
his true character was known he was
as well liked as he was in this city.

farmers they removed the duty on

total revenue thus taken off was about

that no one has been benefited by it,
