A new form OF domestic money order
has been adopted by the government 80
as to conform more nearly in appearance
to bank check or draft. The coupon
and advice are reduced in size; the ad-
vice Is attached to the end of the order
and blank for endorsement is on the
back instead OF the face as heretofore.
While the old form OF the coupon Is re-
tanned, it was intended that when the
specified amount was torn OF, 1t should
be registered on the back AZ well as on
the front OF the new order, but as the
two sets OF coupons fail to- correspond,
the value OF the arrangement is not appar.
ent. The new order Is hardly an improve
ment on the old as the government prob
ably hoped 1t might be; for the original
plan was without redeeming feature and
any improvement without a total change
was impossible. The old forms will not
be discontinued until they are used up
but the new ones are appearing occasion.

The Waupaca wis, Post, in Its issue of
Aug. 10th, contains an extended obituary
notice OF the late DR.. Darwin l.. Man
chester, brother OF A. b. Manchester OF
August 18th, at the age OF 81 years. Dr.

until July, 1862, when he enlisted in Com

went to the front. In tile battle OF Perry
vile, he received gunshot in the right
shoulder and was left for dead on the bat
tlefield. After lying twenty -four hours
exposed, he crawled to the road and was
picked up by an ambulance train and
taken to camp, where his wound was
dressed. He never fully recovered, his
right arm being practically useless, and
he suffered from 1t terribly at times. Soou
after he was sent home, he commenced
the study OF medicine and entered med
ical college in New Hampshire and was
graduated therefrom. Since that time he
had been practicing physician in Wau-
paca until last spring when, on account Of
failing health, he gave up his practice.
Right after the Veterans Home was es-
tablished, he was appointed its physician
and held the position until he was taken
i'll. His was one of those kindly natures
that do more than medicine to help the
sick and he was, therefore, successful
doctor, always enjoying large practice.
