Carriers to Sell STAMPS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 14-Post-
master General Wilson has issued an
order extending the house to house
collection and delivery letter system SO
as to provide for the sale of postage and
special delivery stamps through orders
to letter carriers on slips contained in
a unique official stamp selling enyel-
ope. The order provides for one of
the most radical improvements yet
made in the postal system. 1t will be
tried in Washington at once, and if
found practicable, extended generally.
1t affords the conduct of ones business
with the postoffice al home, at least so
far as ordinary transactions are con-
cerned, and it is expected to largely
increase stamp sales as soon as the sys-
tenn becomes general. The house to
house collection of mail by means of
ingeniously contrived boxes has al
ready been adopted and extended to
twenty FIVE free delivery cities.

An Escaped Lunatic.

Wednesday evening a stranger ap-
peared upon our streets, having come
from Hubbleton with Section Foreman
Friedel on the hand car, and stated
that be wished to see the village
marshal, IS he was looking for a man
who had killed another near Milwau-
kee the day before. The stranger
stated the man who had been murdered
was his brother-in- law and that he had
tracked the murderer as far as Hubble
ton and gave a complete description of
the murderer and claimed that he had
left Hubbleton only an hour and half
before him and that he was coming
this way.
AS the stranger could not speak very
good English Marshal Davies started
with him to find a German, when the
man broke away and ran into the
planning mill of Setz & Fischer, and
when Marshal Davies went in the
stranger drew a knife and told the
marshal to keep off. The marshal
succeeded in overcoming his man and
taking him to the lookup. After
landing him in jail he was searched
and papers were found upon his person
which led the marshal to believe that
he was either connected with, or was
an escaped inmate of the Outagamie
county insane asylum, and that his
he l.
ing this discovery Marshall Davies i'm
mediately telephoned to the superin-
tendent of the institution and instruct
ed the marshal to hold him until the
proper authorities should arrive to
take charge of him.
The man was well dressed and had
fifty five cents in change in his pockets
From conversation with him, and other
papers on his person, it was learned
that his home was near Hortonville,
where he owned a farm and other pro-
perty, and that he had killed his
brotherin-law, and he stated that the
reason he had done so was "because
his family bad been getting the best of
him." While he was awaiting trial for
this murder he was adjudged insane
and committed to the asylum and
guardian ..appointed to look after his
property.
LATER-Louis Tackman, ward attend
ant of the Outagamie county insane
asylum, arrived last evening and iden-
tined the man as William MAIDS and
took him back to-day. The man is a
pronounced incurable lunatic and last
spring escaped from: his keepers and
came near .killing his wife. Waterloo
