About Box Rents.
The following is reprinted from the
DARLINGTON Renublican:

The following is reprinted from the
Darlington Republican,:
"a short time ago Mr.. j. Is. Far
rel, postotfice inspector for South
western Wisconsin came here and pro-
ceeded to check up the Darlington
postohice. After making a thorough
investigation Mr.. Farrell discovered
that many persons renting boxes had
neglected to pay the rent for the same
in advance as required by the postal
laws of 1893. When told that the prac-
tice of paying box rent whenever con-
venient had been INDUCED in by the
patrons of the office from atimc whence
the memory of man runneth not to the
contrary, he was greatly surprised
and did not hesitate in telling us that
such slipshod manner of collecting
box rent would no longer be tolerated
by Uncle Sam.
"He instructed us to conduct the
business of the office in the future in
strict conformity with the postofiice
laws and called attention to section
AS, which reads as follows:
mo box at any postoiiice shall be
assigned to the use of any person UNI
til the rent thereof has been paid for
at least one quarter in advance. for
which the postmaster shall give re-
ccipt. "-R. s., I 1901. =
Gas we shall in the future be held
responsible for any irrcgularity in
this matter. it is absolutely necessary
that all persons renting boxes at the
Darlington postofiice pay cor the use
of the same not later than 10 days
after the slip announcing, ''Box Rent
Due" Is placed in your box. Ten days
grace is given to enable every patron
of the office to become familiar with
the new ruling and to avoid any cause
for complaint on the grounds OF not
having been given ample time to call
at the Office and settle with Uncle Sam.
Therefore on the 18th day of Octo-
Der, 1898, all boxes at the Darlington
postoffice for which the rent has not
been paid in advance, shall be declar-
ed vacant, and all mail addressed to
persons formerly receiving mail in
such boxes, will be put in the general
delivery.
"We trust the patrons Of the Office
will realize how we feel in this matter.
| have pledged myself to perform the
duties pertaining TO the Office accord
ing to the postal laws OF the United
States. and as the slightest deviation
from the path of duty IS not tolerated
by the postoffice department at Wash
ington, it behooyes us to hue TO the
line. VI. b. MARTIN,

Home from the klondikc,

Platteville Witness,
Fred Laughton who went to the
Klondike last spring returned Mon
day morning. He came direct from
Dawson. He did little prospecting on
his own hook while there but says all
the best claims were taken long before
his arrival and that the whole country
for miles in all directions Is stakcd Off
and the claims taken. He says 1t Is
about impossible to get what is con
sidcred good claim without getting
on the inside with the Receiver ut the
land Office. IL one goes to the land
office and asks to have II certain
claim entered, the numbers are care
fully taken down and the party Is
ask to call again the next day. When
he goes he is told that the claim has
already been taken. Labor AT Daw-
son has dropped to $500 per day but
as it takes nearly all that to live but
little can be saved. There are
thousands In the Klondikc with no
means to either stay or get away and
unless relieved in some way, they will
certainly starvc before the winter Is
over
