FOR THE WORSE.

The Dissatisfaction expressed by the De.
Lamar citizens over their mail service, and
the petitions for change, have evidently
effected one which is the worse for all con.
cerned. For several years past the mail
has left Milford in the evening, arriving
here the evening following at p. m. Of
late the DeLamar mail has lain here twelve
hours, leaving the following morning. This
delay Of twelve hours at Phoebe is COM
planned OF by DeLamar citizens and the
first change ordered, is to leave Milford in
the morning. This merely changes the IL
hours delay, from Phoebe to Milford, and
makes matters worse for all concerned.
Phoebe looses "a hours time in answering
mail matter since as now run, mail arriving
in the evening can be answered by return
stage the following morning Under the
change, the mail arriving at s in the morn
ing will Immediately return, without fur.
nishing an opportunity here to answer
mail. DeLamar, on the other hand cannot
receive its mail earlier, but must frequently
receive it later than now, due to lost time
between here and Milford from storms,
sick horses, breakages, ETC., and other mat
tiers incident to stage travel in the noun
tains. As an instance, the mail from Mil
ford due here this morning did not at arrive
until II a. M, and could not possibly
get to DeLamar within business hours to-
day. The proposed change will benefit
only the postmaster at Milford, by saving
his putting up the mail for this section i'm
mediately on the trains arrival, and the
stage driver; while it will inconvenience,
without exception, the whole community it
should properly benefit.
The service from Milford for the past two
years has been the best this section has
ever had and it will be generally satisfac.
tory to allow it to remain untouched.

THE STAMP FRAUD.

Parties in Phoebe are in receipt of letters
asking for cancelled stamps for charity's
sake, the alleged beneficiary being young
crippled girl, whom some eastern medical
college had agreed to furnish pair of arti-
fetal limbs upon receiving ], ZOO, 900 cancel.
ed stamps, or so it was claimed.
The scheme was as follows: Letters were
sent out to many persons in all parts of the
country requesting the received to send ten
cancelled stamps to the girl, whose address is
given, and to make three copies of the letter
and send them to their friends, with requests
for them each to send ten stamps, and to
get three friends to send ten stamps, and so
on, until a series of fifty letters have been
sent out.
The almost utter impossibility of one
person collecting million c,ncelled stamps
in life time is thus overcome. A man
with a mind running to mathematics has
made computation as to how many car.
loads of stamps the poor crippled girl"
would receive, this is what he says:
''The number of letters received by her
would equal the sum of all powers of 3 from
l to SOL, for the letter No. would be re.
turned with 10 stamps, while the multiples
of do not begin until the letter No. are
returned. On each letter returned with ten
stamps) will be a stamp, making total of
IL stamps for each one returned to her.
The problem then becomes: Sum of all
powers of three from to so plus times | l
equals number of stamps. substituting: L.
l79, 592, SAT, $50, lO2, $50, 1892 plus times
IL equals 1866, SIS, O23, 1876, l3l, ia, 7O9,
092 stamps. Assuming that 5000 stamps
weigh pound and 10000 pounds to car,
we have lOl, 1872, 1877 ,O5S, O94, 799 cars
1t seems that the origin of the effort to
gather them was Chicago advertisement
offering 5000 for a million cancelled stamps.
This sum would have paid for what the
cripple needed. The young lady who start.
ed the collection resides at Kanesville, Ill,
a place with population of 400. And now,
after nearly running the village postmaster
whose salary is 5000 year, and the mai
carrier, whose contract is for much less, aut
porplexing the whole place with the inunda
ton of letters from all quarters, it turns GU
that the advertisement was hoax and tn,
cancelled stamps are worthless. This can
celed stamp nonsense ought now to b
thoroughly stamped out
Letters series No. 80 struck this place an,
if all of the series of that number wer
answered the young lady would receive 6,
600, so, $3.50, 555, 523 letters.

on religion as a burden which he knew

the pursuit of pleasure. am convinced
