the sacristy, and took seat I'm the right
aisle. close to the sanctuary rail.
After kneeling down to pray an at
tack of weakness overcame him and he
sat up In the pew. Those around no
ticed that something was wrong with
him: he made several Intellectual at
tempts to arise and go out. Just as the
priest was ascending the altar, the d.
ceased got very weak and fell over on
his side.

who was carried out was Edward Nc
Goff. for the repose of whose soul the
priest and the people offered up their
prayers just before the sermon was
preached.

BLUE NOT THE SOLDIERS FRIEND

His Friendship OF the Old Glory" Order,
but the Manned Veteran Gets Moth
ing but Curses.
If there is any man in Kansas who
makes a speciality of psrading his
friendship for the soldier it is Dick
Blue. He has made nearly all of his
limited reputation by his talk of devo-
tion to their interests. All his powers
as Republican wind bag have been
brought into play to convince the vet
ersn that he was their one devoted and
true friend. His regard for them sp-
pears in a much different light, how
ever, when he is called upon to assist
poor, deserving soldier who has no in
AuenCe at home.
Capt. Stone, an old grsy-hsired man
who lost one of his limbs in the service,
relates some things in regard to Blues
treatment of him which shows up the
gentleman in his true colors. Capt.
Stone was appointed to department
position from Lawrence some years
ago at the request of Funston, who was
then Congressman from the Second dis
trict. Later, however, he was dis
missed because of a reduction of the
force. He is, however, under the civil
service rules, eligible for reinstatement.
He went to Blue, asking him to 60
with him to one of the departments to
urge that he be reinstated. Congress-
man Pendleton, Texas ex- Confederate
and Democrat, had already exhibited
willingness to do what he could for
the unfortunate man who had fought
on the other side. But Blue, who
represents more old soldiers than any
other msA on this floor" said to him:
"No, won't go down with you. I'll
be - if I'll ask fsVors Of a Demo
cratic administration for anybody"
"Well, what am to doP" asked Mr..
Stone.
"Why In - don't you go home to
Kansas r said the representative Of
the whole State of Kansas"
"Whst could l do if did go back ?"
suggested Stone.
"Why, 60 back and start truck gar
den," said this busy, hustling, ener-
getic Congressman.
"But couldn't work truck patch
on account of my lost Leg" said Stone.
But as he had no means to get back to
Kansas anyhow, he said:
"How could get there?"
"Why, - it, WslkP' said this
great lover of the old soldier, as be
turned away and went into the House
of Representatives.
The above interview is given with
the Topeka State Journal (Rep. as su-
thority for its authenticity. Every old
soldier in Kansas ought to be informed
as to the absolute lack of friendship of
this windy political demsgogue.

CARRIERS AT FAULT.
The Houston System Raked Over By
Postal Inspectors,

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The
post Office department has recently
finished the examination of the
reports made by special examiners
of the department in regard to the
letter carrier service in Houston
These special examiners finished
| their work several weeks ago
and the department, after care
fully going over the reports,
has written to the postmaster COM
planning of the false standard of
the service and also individualiz-
ing the charges made against the
carriers.
This investigation showed that
many improvements could and
should be made. The mounted
carriers, particularly, are reported
as being extremely slow, and in
many cases it is shown that the
use OF horses by the carriers has
been made an excuse for con-
Stunning great deal of unnecessary
time. Some Of the carriers are
making overtime and lack OF dis.
cipline is apparent.
The agents allege they carefully
examined the service, going over
each route and giving the same at
least one days attention. There is
not the least semblance Of an ex-
cusa for any carrier making over.
time. On the contrary, they find
that If the carriers were required
to properly perform their duties
they could cover their routes in |
considerably less time.
The postmaster has been in |
structed to organize and extend |
his service and to require the car
riers to work according to the
schedule, and four carriers have |
been asked to give satisfactory |
of the charges against |
them or else suffer dismissal.

NO FLOWER BATTLE,
This Beautiful Annual Celebration
Ahandoned The REASONS Tharefor

This Beautiful Annual Celebration
Abandoned The Reasons Therefor.
The ladies of the Flower Battle
association met in the parlors of
the Menger hotel this morning,
and til @ flower battle fiickered out
with quick, irregular fiicks. Owing
to the lack OF interest among the
ladies, and the prevailing senti-
ment that the annual travesty
which filters our streets with bunt.
ing and paper flowers is an insult
ferable bore, the ladies have de-
cided to abandon the idea for this
year. 1t was suggested that if the
people who habitually thrill with
patriotism will bring their flowers
to the Alamo on San Jacinto day,
room might be found for them on
the capacious facade of that struct-
ure.
Mrs. E. d. l.. Wickes, who was
elected president Of the association
at tho last meeting, declined to
serve. The association has dis
banded.
