Lines in memory of the death OF

st: II
Another dear has gone,
To be with her Saviour dear.
Dear Tilda shall see you again,
On the Resurrection morn? -
God grant I may clasp thee,
In my arms again there,
And we can sing praises, "
For our Saviour and King.
Soon our life will be no more,
Then we too shall be set free
From the troubles Of this world,
And no more with it We'll share.
Are we helping one another,
Are we doing what we can,
To reap a golden Harvest,
When our work on earth is done.
Today you rest in Paradise,
Yes, now you are set free,
Soon may meet you there above,
Till then my friend, Good Bye.

FEWER DEAD LETTERS.
Persons Using Che Mails Becoming
More Careful in Writing Addresses.

Very few persons have any clear or
definite knowledge of the extent of
the opera tfons of llta dead letter office

way that misdirected letters are trans
mitted to the postotiice department in
Washington and there are opened and

sender or the addressee. The number
Of letters and papers sent to the dead
letter office in a year is 100000.
or these 100000 are what are called
ordinary unclaimed letters. 10000 for.
eign letters misdirected by people in
the United States to persons abroad,
and about 10000 letters written to
fictitious addresses, while 100000 let
tiers In year are mailed by people in
other countries to incorrect addresses
in the United States.
According 10 the last poStotfice re-
port more than 10000 letters sent to
the dead letter office contained money
to the gross amount Of $4,000; 10000
other letters contained drafts. notes,

the money and the evidences Of in

Honors for a Lancaster Boy.

There is a well defined rumor afioat
on the streets to-day to the effect that
Mayor Phelps will resign some time
next month. As the story goes, he Is
about to take this step in order to de-
vote all of his time to gold mines in
Southern Oregon, in which his honor
is interested. For several months
past the city's business has not re-
ceiyed the mayors individual atten-
ton. He has made three trips in as
many months. into Oregon to look
after his private affairs.
Rumor has gone so far as to name
the mayors successor-none other
than that suave member of the board
of aldermen-Mr H. r. elise. For
two months past the scheme has been
taking shape, and now definite plan
of action has been decided upon. Mr..
elise is to be elected president of the
board of alderman to succeed Leander
Miller, the democratic incumbent.
This done. the mayor is to. resign.
throwing the strength to elise, with
the understanding that the latter
shall retain Bolton Rogers as chief of
police. The mayors successor, in ac-
cordanee with the chapter provision,
is to be elected by the council, two
thirds vote being necessary to cleo
ton. Such is the method of proce-
tlure when the mayors Office becomes
vacant prior to three months before
election, and in the other event the
president of the board of aldermen
becomes mayor. Seattle Press Times.
This H. r. elise is Harry elise, a
former Lancaster boy, reared and
schooled in this city. brother Of
Mrs. Joe Nathan Jr. His many
friends in Lancaster will be pleased
to know of his success and prefer
ment.
