in the East the people in residence quarters
now receive as high as six or seven de-
liveries in one day This, department off,
Gals say, is a discrimination against resi-
dents in other cities, particularly IN the
West where the mail carrier makes his
rounds in the residence quarters but twice
day and in the business sections once or
twice more The practice in the East is
the outgrowth of the policy OF the depart
ment In the past allotting TO postmasters
lump sum for the service in their particular
cities which is generally expended in full.
First Assistant Postmaster General Heath,
in speaking of the matter, said that he be-
lieved that with the saving of carriers that
may be effected by this curtailment OF de-
liVeries, free delivery may be extended to
many places not now accorded such service
and in addition extra deliveries given to
both residential and business sections of
cities of the West now lacking adequate ac-
commodatiOnS in this respect.

large quantities they were probably made
by some skillful engraver who is or has been
in the employ of one of the great bank

made by hand. and they were probably di-
vided among number of operators Cal
culation had been made for the time neces-

Representative Overstreet was selected
for the purpose Of introducing the bill some
months ago, partly because he represents
the indianapolis district, where the move
ment was given birth, but more because he
has been from the start an earnest advo-
cate of currency reform. From the begin
ming of the work Mr. Overstreet has been
one of the constant advisers of Mr.. Hanna,
chairman of the executive committee, and
has done much in various ways in aid Of
the movement, though he never committed
himself to the particular lines of this bill
nor consented to introduce it until the COM
mission finished its work. Then ne took up
the report, and after giving several days
announced that it met his views in every
particular and he was more than willing to
introduce the bill and fight for it.
Since his first election to Congress Mr..
Overstreet has constantly grown in the
estimation of his constituents here as q con-
serVatIve wise and able representative. Mr..
Overstreet was born in Johnson county,
this State in 1859. He was educated at the
common schools and at Franklin College
and was admitted to the bar in 1886. He
served as deputy under Collector Dunlap In
this city and then returned to the practice
of law at Franklin. After the liVeleSt kind
OF a struggle he was nominated on the Re-
publican ticket in the old Fifth district in
1894. He made a remarkable campaign,
overturning the heavy Democratic majority
in the district and defeating George w.
Cooper by over LOCO votes. The reappor-
tionment made by the Legislature of 1895
put johnson county in this, the Seventh,
district, and in the campaign of 1896 Mr.
Overstreet was renominated and defeated
Charles Nj. Cooper by about 5000 votes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. cit is stated on
good authority that up to this time the
government has taken no steps looking to
the initiation of proceedings in foreclosure
against the, Central Pacific road, which is
said to have defaulted in the payment to
the government on Jan. l. 1t is said, how
ever, that a representative of the company
recently had a conference with the Presi-
dent, Secretary Gage and Attorney General
McKenna with view to final settlement
of the company's obligations without plac-
ing the road in the hands of a receiver.
Owing to the many claims and counter
claims involved, it is not possible at this
time to state the exact amount in which
the company defaulred on Jan. /, but the
amount OF the due and unpaid principal on
that day was $10614,120. The other items
in the account are: Balance of interest due

$75l3 $50 in cash and bonds in its sinking
fund. There are also judgments and claims
against the government, unpaid, amounting
to 81 Alb $685. which leaves a net balance on
Jan. l of $4305S.156. On Jan. /, 1899 bonds
will mature to the amount of S9,l91OO0, ex-
