CITING DOWN NPENSEs.
Two Po-toffice Clerks Dropped-Im'
movements in Mail Service

The movement for economy induced by
the deficit Ia the national treasury has
caused the postoffice department 20 order
a general reduction in the forces or the
postoffices throughout the West. In ae-
coraAnce with the Recommendations OF 3
postoffice inspector. who has recently
made the rounds OF this state, Postmaster
Meem has dropped from his office force
Homer 5. Comfort. a mailing clerk. ana
Cornelius q. Oyston, general delivery
clerk No fault was found with these
men. but they were simply dropped as
matter OF necessity. Similar reductions
have been made at Tacoma, Portland. Spo-
kane and Walla Walla. This reduction
still leaves sixty men on the pay roll Of
the Seattle postoftice. including the rail-
way postal clerks. and leaves the pay roll
at about $500 per month. During the
week ending May Ii the money order de-
partment paid out 81, IS, involving !. i22
transactions. and received si,Ss279. In
yolving 54S transactions.
While the receipts of the Seattle post
office compare favorabiy with those of
other Offices of the same size. the office
does not get credit in Its total receipts
for all the work done, for it is the ex-
change Office for the money order bust
ness of many other points and handles
the mails of Alaska and other points
reached by steamer, as well as overland
malls TO and from British Columbia.
While this reduction is being made the
department has ordered a change which
Will shorten by one day the time con-
summed In mail transportation between
points in the Pacific Northwest and sew
enty-ntne points In British Columbia.
This will be effected by the exchange OF
registered pouches on mail trains between
Seattle and Vancouver. b. c., beginning
June l. The Seattle district covered by
this arrangement includes Idaho, Mon

I'm the Brief.

Mexsrs. Ronald and Piles have COM
peted appellants brief In the Murphy
case, and have forwarded Il to the SUI
preme court. IL consists Of twenty pages.
and it's first contention IS that the court
erred Ia forcing Murphy 10 be held for
murder In the first degree after he had
beer convicted OF murder In the second
degree and a new trial ordered. The at
torneys claim that their client was put
on trial for crime OF which he had

further that the court erred in his in
ssrllctions as to self-defeDse, thereby
shifting the burden OF proof. The brief
concludes:
"But We think the court made a serious
mistake, sufficient 10 reverse this case.
In hts one instruction wherein he singled
out the defendant and stated 10 the jury

Cattle Rustlers.

On Tuesday the tenth Of April II
party OF three men were observed driv.
ing a bunch OF cattle In the direction OF
the cattle yards at Fairburn with the
evident intention OF shipping them but
when some parties rode out to see them
the rustlers left the cattle and rode
rapidly away, Upon inspecting the
cattle it as ascertained that 20 head
belonged to Charity Loveland Of RAPID
City who on being t~elegraphed tostarted
immediately for Fairburn to recover
his property. AS he is not a member
OF the Westecn South Dakota Stock AS
ISOLATION he would plobabiy have lost
the entire value Of the cattle if the
rustlers had succeeded in placing the cat.
tie in the ears.

An Important Feature.

A certain doctor, living in the upper
part of Utica, N. Y, has a bright and
observing fo~ur-year-old daughter. She
has a brother a few years cider of
whom she is very fond, and who, for
her amusement, sometimes draws
pictures On slate or paper. A few
evenings ago he was thus engaged, and
essayed TO draw an elephant. He
shaped the body. head and legs, and
before adding the %probcscis stopped a
monone to look at it. The little girl
had been watching every stroke of the
pencil with great interest, waiting
patiently for him to finish, and when
he stopped, and she thought he was
done, exclaimed: why, Johnnie, you
fordot to put on his satchel!'

A NEW PAIR OF EARS.

Remarkable Feat In Surgery Performed
by = French Physician.
At the Bicetre hospital in Paris, says
the London Daily News, the we'll
known surgeon, M. Landry, lately per-
formed a curious operation on q work
man of Belgium nationality. The
Belgian, it appears, got drunk a short
time ago and was taken to the police
station at GENTLY when in a state Of
utter helplessness. While he was in
the cells another drunkard, a mechan-
ical engineer named Machant, was
brought in in a state bordering on
delirium tremens. Machant was in a
terribly excited state and he attacked
his fellow prisoner with extraordinary
ferocity, striking him, and, horrible to
relate, biting of both his ears.
When he came to himself Machant
became very penitent and asked to be
taken to the bedside of his victim, who
was now in the Bicetre hospital, in
order to ask his forgiveness. DIR.
Landry, who was there, said: .sShould
you like to give him back his ears?''
Certainly" said the man. sThen,''
said the doctor, sslet me cut a couple OF
small slips OF flesh from your arm and
1T AN be done" The man consented
and the doctor did as he had suggested.
The pieces of flesh he shaped as well
as he could to the likeness OF a pair Oh
r and Joined them to the wounded
places. According to the latest ac.
counts the operation has been a com.
plete success.

DID NOT INTERRUPT TRAFFIC.
4 Railroad Bridge In Switzerland Weigh
ing b46 Tons Raised Five Feet.

4 Railroad Bridge In Switzerland Weigh.
ing SAG Tons Raised Five Feet.
The raising of a bridge in Switzer-
land upon the line of the International
railway, from Paris to Vienna, has at
tracted considerable attention from
the methods pursued, which are de-
scribed by Locomotive Engineering.
The occasion for the change was that
the river crossed-the Rhine-had lost
in the sectional area of the passage be-
tween the piers about twenty-five per
cent. in thirteen years, owing to the
deposition of gravel and sediment,
while the high water level had risen
to such an extent as to pile floating de-
bris six feet deep on the bridge floor in
times of food. The alterations includ-
ed some reinforcements, besides the
raising of the whole structure about
five feet. The bridge was continuous
owe a center pier, and had two main
vertical posts there and four vertical
end posts. To each of these posts an
inclined strut was attached in a trans
verse vertical plane, presenting a r
face for the top Of a hydraulic jack to
act upon. Eight special one hundred
ton jacks were used, with an eight
inch stroke and a working pressure of
four hundred a~tmospheres, the piston
being nearly seven-tenths in diameter.
The fluid used was a mixture of water,
alcohol and %glycerine. Sixteen men
operated the jacks, their movements
being synchronized by a code of sig
nails, designed to secure uniformity of
action. The bridge was raised a foot
or two by short lifts, followed up by
thorough blocking, and then building
under one purse of cut-stone masonry.
The total load was five hundred and
forty-six tons, and the maximum load
on a single jack was eighty-seven
tons. The bridge was raised in four
stages during intervals between trains.
The longest interval between trains
was about two hours. The weight OF
trains was rigidly restricted during the
time the bridge was undergoing re.
pairs, and their speed was limited to
three miles an hour in crossing the
bridge. In addition, a special block
system vas organized upon that sec.
ton of the line Upon which the bridge
is located, SO that operations could be
suspended and the track restored five
minutes before the arrival of a train at
the site.

Setting a Good Example.

Emperor William Of Germany, it
seems, will not visit the t..leatcr on
Sunday. While on his recent trip to
Italy the managers of the Theatre
FENCE, in Venice, gave a special enter
tainment in his honor on a Sunday, but
the audience waited in vain for King
Hucnbert and the emperor. 1t was
learned later that he had called in
stead on Countess Annina Morsini, and
told her, according to Italian papers,
that he had not attended a theatrical
performance OF Sunday since he had
assembled the throne.
