register of the treasury is formal mat
ter, required by law. The appointment of
the President requires Mr.. Vanderlip to
act as register or assistant during the

tration Mr. Cusard who was then deputy
auditor of the Treasury Department. was
designated by President Cleveland.
Register Tillman has been absent from
his office several days. and there was a
report that he might have sent in his res
ignation. Those who know Mr.. Tillman
however, stated that there was net much
probability that he had resigned. He was
simply off duty for "a few days. He has
not applied for regular holiday. Neither
has Mr.. Brawiey. the assistant register
Nothing is known at the Treasury De-
partment as to when Mr.. Tillman's sue
cessor will be named by the President,
but it is generally believed that an -ap-
pointment is rot far off. Mr.. Vanderlip
will continue to fill the place to which he
has been appointed, no matter who sue

MAIL BONES on STREET CARS.
How the Experiment. Has Worked

How the Experiment Has Worked in
Des MOincs, Iowa.
The Post Office Department has received
report from Des Moines, Iowa, where an
experiment is being tried Of having street
letter boxes attached to all the street cars
of the city, and a large share of mail COL
lection taken up by them. The cars in Des
Moines all run past the post office They
stop at all places to receive letter or
other mail matter. and as they come by
the post Office a carrier takes the mail
from the boxes. During the. month of July
there were collected BY this means in Des
Moines 2s,2s7 letters. $3.50 cards and AL
pieces of second. third and fourth-class
mail matter. 1t shows-an increase of 1900
pieces ever June. and the postmaster is
of the opinion that owing to many cars run
being open snd 20 boxes attached there
was not SO much collected sby this means
as there would be II all the cars were
closed. If the experiment Is successful it
will be tried in other cities where similar
conditions prevail.

Refused to Give Name of Man Who

CHICAGO. August 1.-Alderman VIM.
Mangler was sentenced today by Judge
Dunno to pay a fine of $1,000 and serve
ninety days in the county Jail for contempt
of court
Alderman Mangler a few weeks ago pub
licly stated that he had been approached by
a prominent business man with an offer
of $1,000 to vote for the general electric
street railway franchise ordinance. On be-
ing summoned by the grand jury to testify
to the name of the alleged business man,
Alderman Mange refused, claiming that
in telling his story he would incriminata
himself. His persistent refusal to testify,
although promised Immunity for himself,
led to the contempt proceedings.
The court sustained a motion of Mansler's
attorneys for an appeal and ruled that the
alderman could meanwhile be released on
bond. Bail was at once furnished in the
sum of 5000.

Petrified Saw Logs.

In company with Mr.. Joseph Leicht,
editor Of the Winona (Minn.) Herold,
and Geo. Bruegeer, of the Bruegger
Mercantile Co. Of this city, we rode out
about seventeen miles southeast of town
to visit one of the greatest curiosities
known to exist in the state Of North Da-
kota. 1t is petrified tree cut up into
saw-iogs, eacl, log being about 20 feet in
length and over four feet in diameter
There are five logs in the group, with
the ends of each one squared as though
sawed off with a cross-cut saw. They
lie upon the ground almost on level
with the surrounding prairie on the edge
Of deep ravine, and are at least 300
feet above the Missouri river. The dirt
has been washed from beneath the end
of one of the logs, causing it to project
out some FIVE or sig feet. The logs are
now solid stone. and although we could
not trace the grain of the wood, the bark
in places remains on the logs intact, and
indicates the tree to have been some
thiu- barked pine or cedar. We brought
home good d-sized piece from one OF the
logs, while Mr.. Leicht secured few
small pieces Of The bark. These logs
would form an interesting theme fol
some eminent geologist to study. While
we would like to know something O.
their history and origin, yet the Graphic
will not dare even to venture theor!
as to how they came there, nor as to the
time that has elapsed since the tree wa
felled.
