STOPPED THE "R. R. B." MAIL.
The Kansas City Road Complies With the Or der of the Postmaster General-What
 Ii Means.

In pursuance of orders issued by the postmaster general the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad yes terday ordered all of its agents to dis continue sending what is known as 'R. R. B." mail. The other roads will prob ably issue similar orders today, or with in the next few days at the outside.
 This matter was taken up some time ago by the postmaster general, and the result was an order commanding all roads to stamp its mail with the required postage and send 1t by United States mail.
 The "R R. B." mail is a big thing with all railroads, and the compelling of roads to provide all mail with proper postage will net the government large amount of revenue.
 Assistant Baggage Master Sam Moore of the union passenger station stated to a State Herald reporter that from 5000 to 10000 letters were handled in that of flee daily, the larger per cent of the pieces being heavy letters. Thus 1t will be seen what amount of revenue will ac- crue from different points in the United States
