The post-oflice department has de-
cided that a request to pay a bill
can be sent on postal card, but
that it must contain no threat or in
timation as to what will be done if
the debt is not paid. This is SEN
sible snd reverses a former decision
on that point.
The dependent pension bill makes
no provisions for pensions because
Of lack Of adequate support. The
bureau has ruled that if widow
has an income equal to the amount
OF pension she would re-
ceive, she Is held not to be without
other means of support than her
daily labor, and is not pensionable.
Governor Hastings has signed the
bill passed by the recent Legislature
which requires County Commits

had not been the case.

Last Friday evening Mrs. VIM.
Freyman of Kreamer stepped off the
passenger train East, as il was leav-
ing the station. She was thrown ur-
on her face and cut pretty badly.
She had not known that the train
was at Kreamer and the train was
leaving before she knew it.. The

to pull the bell to stop the train.
Contrary to his advice she stepped
off the train thinking, perhaps, that
the train would not stop.
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Rhodes OF
Middleburg are visiting Messrs.
Charles and Henry Swineford and
and families, this place. For four
or more months Mr.. Rhodes was
confined to his home by sore illness,
hence it is gratifying to his many
friends to see him out again. The
hardships of u soldiers life, which
were his in big abundance, are tell
ing, as the years pile up; but we
trust he will live to score at least q
round 100 years. Asking him how
things stood politically in Snyder he
said-"Oh, everybody's for Quay
the "Old Man." as they call him,
who, himself, was a grand good SOL
lier and Republican and has ever
been true to his comrades and the
principles of our party. We will
reciprocate by sticking to him to the |
last. ."-MiHin6urg Telegraph.
