FREE DELIVERY IN SIGHT.
GRAND RAPIDS MAKES GOOD SHOWING.
The Local Post Office Handles a Vast
Amount of Mail During the Month of
November.

1t will probably be of some interest
to our readers t., know how many letters,
papers, packages, etc, were handled
at the Grand Rapids postofice during
the month of November. For some
purpose the departmental Washington,
D. C. required the postmaster to keep
accurate record of all letters, papers,
and packages that were received and
dispatched at this Office during that
month. We complied with the request
and the result follows:
Number of letters 81
Number of newsp& ne e-s...".....--.........1 ,203
Number of packages 5,049
Registered letters and packag ages..-.........- 153
Number of pouches received and dispatched 2S6
Number of sacks (paper) ........-.. .........- 70
Number of money orders issued d...............122
Number of money orders paid..........".....1O5
We must admit that we were sur
p-ised at the total amount of business
done. The above figures prove that
about 2340 pieces are handled here
every da, The reader must remember
also that each letter must be back
stamped. This, with the extra work
outside of the above, gives business
enough for two employees all the time.
For this work the department allows
$l30 per year for clerk hire outside the
postmaster's salary. There is no doubt
in our mind but what the Centralia
postoffice does equally as much business
if not more. These facts, we believe, if
the cities should consolidate would al
most warrant free delivery. The re-
ceipts of the post Office must reach $40,
600 per annum, and the streets should
be named and the business places and
residences should be numbered. Let
every one take the initiative and pre-
pare for consolidation and free delivery.

NEGROES DISTINGUISHED.
Governor of Choctaw Nation Forbids
Freedmen to Vote.

South NTcAlester. I. T., Aug. 15.-There
promises to be serious trouble in the
Choctaw nation over the following proc
lamatiOn. just issued by Governor McCur-
tin, which DISTINGUISHES 700 freedmen:
Whereas, At the election to be held on
August a for the ratification or rejection
of the agreement made and entered into at
Atoka, on April 23, 1897 by the commits
sioners on the part of the ChOctaws and
Chickasaws and the United States, the
real question is, What is to be done with
the annuitieS, moneys and public domain
of the two natiOnS2, and,
Whereas, The law adopting the Choc-
taW freedmen expressly denies to the said
freedmen any right, title or interest in
said annuities, moneys and public domains,
and,
Whereas, In said agreement said freed
men are given their forty acres of land,
Therefore, This is to notify all election
judges in all counties of the Choctaw ma
ton that they will refuse to allow any
freedmen to vote on said agreement, on
August "a 1898"
That the proclamation will precipitate
a desperate resistance on the part of the
freedmen. assisted by those Indians OPP
posed to the Atoka agreement, there is lit
tie doubt. The freedmen have always
voted at every election, and it is stated
that they intend, aided by members of
the Union party, to force the judges to
take their votes. The feeling is intense,
and some of the best informed state that
a detachment of soldiers will be asked for
to prevent uprising.

TO HELP JOE LETTER.
Kansas Farmers Propose to Aid the
Ex-Wheat King.

Newton, Kan, Aug. 15-Another chap
ter in the project to raise fund for
the assistance of Joseph Letter started
by Harvey county farmers in grateful
appreciation is out. When the scheme
first originated, started by a number of
farmers of this county, it was looked
upon with favor by all papers of this
locality but the Wichita Eagle. That
paper frowned upon the project and de-
clared it hog wash in an editorial I'M
der that caption. Replying to the
Eagles denunciation of the scheme, the
originator of the project has written
letter which is published this week in
the papers of Harvey county, which
reads as follows:
In the Wichita Eagle of August 9,
appears an editorial, under the head of
Hog WASH in answer to a farmers
suggestion to reimburse in part the
Letters for their great loss in trying to
uphold the price of wheat during the
crop year of 1S97-9S
1.-The editor misses the mark entirely
when he says: The Kansas farmer
who contributes to the Letter fund for
any such reason is a fool Does the
Eagle know of a single farmer who lost
money on account of the high price of
wheat? He quotes Armour and other
spectators who lost money by Letters
deals. The writer can instance a great
many farmers in his own neighborhoOd
who realized big profits, but can not re-
call single one who lost by the opera
ton. The very high price of wheat I'M
doubtedly made a big demand for our
corn among a class of foreigners who
thought corn was only fit for hogs. The
unprecedented demand for our corn
abroad shows this to be a fact, and
this fact is entirely ignored by the Ea-
gle writer. The farmers care not for
Letters motive; they are looking at
facts. The spectators and their ilk
are berating the Letters as fools, while
the farmers wish to place the credit
where it belongs and show their graft
tude in a substantial manner. It sell
dom happens that the farmer is bene-
fitted at the expense of the speculator.
When he is he ought to show his ap-
probation. and he proposes to do So"

up with whisky to counterfeit the effect
of the deadly poison already coursing

half of whisky had been emptied down his
throat a farmer came along and told the
men that if they would take a live chicken
and cut a hole under its wing and place
Hayworth's thumb in it that the warm
blood would draw out the poison. A
chicken was procured at a neighbOring
farm house and placed on the thumb as
the farmer directed and the party again

would have died before medical assistance

WAsHBURN COLLEGE.
Some of the Changes Made and the
Outlook for the Coming Year.

The prospects for the coming year of
Washburn college are bright. The in
quiry for information as to the work is
gratifying, and the applications for en-
trance are numerous
The changes in the faculty are few
Prof F. w. Ellis, who had held the
chair of Greek for several years, and
who last year was in attendance upon
the Theological seminary in Chicago,
will return to his old position He
has received his diploma from this sem
mary. and was ordained to the minis
try in June. His coming back is a
source of great joy to all the friends of
the college.
Prof R. S Radford. who has held
the chair of Greek the past year, will
remain with the college, accepting the
chair of Latin. This chair, held for
so many years by Prof. W11ittemore,
who now resigns to accept the princi-
palship of the high school in this city
will still be ably filed by Prof Radford,
who is equally at home in Latin and
Greek.
The chair of German and French will
be filed by Miss Emma. NJ Mexican Of
Berea, Ohio. She is a graduate of 1885
of Baldwin university, of that city, Of
which she holds also the degree of Mas
ter of Arts; and she has had excellent
opportunities for study abroad, under
native teachers in both German and
French. She has taught eleven years,
with uniform success, most of this time
in her chosen specialt1eS; and she brings
with her the most 1attering testimon-
iaIs as to her scholarship, character,
and success In teaching. During the
last year she has been doing special
work in French at the University of
Chicago, and so brings to the college
the latest ideas in the field of modern
languages. She is amember of the Meth
odist church
The new instructor in vocal music is
Miss Clara NJ. Spencer of Iowa She
is a graduate of the Conservatory of
Music at Iowa, college, GrinneIl; has
studied and taught at the University of
Nebraska and has also given inStruc
lions in the University of Virginia. One
of her instructors says of her, Her
voice is a clear light soprano, true and
sympathetic; and her musical educa-
ton $50 often neglected by singersD
has been thorough. insuring artistic and
intelligent phrasing." Miss Spencer
has the best recommendations from
those who know her best, not only as a
fully competent and excellent vocal
teacher but as a lady whose character
and culture will make her specially
valuable as an instructor in a Christian
college. Her membership is Presby-
terrain.
The other departments will remain
practically as before, with the same in
structors. President Herrick will de-
vote a large portion OF the year to the
gathering of funds for the college, for
current expenses and for larger en-
downent, in both the east and west.
The friends of the college are much en-
couraged at the outlook for the year.
