The election is ovor and it will do but
little good to chew over the old issues.
But one thing 10 evident which will have
some effect among the people OF Delta
county in the future aud that was tho
way In which the business end OF the
Teller Silver Republican party was con
Quoted by those in authority in Denver.
Il seemed to have been the policy to
knock the party out Of existence in every
way possible. to bring the party into dis
reputs among its friends. Tho name OF
the candidate Of that party for district
judge was evidently Intentionally left on
the ticket when it was certified up to tie
Secretary of State for . plsce on the
ticket. And the same was done in the
case Of e. J. Mathews for representative.
Had Mr.. Mathews name been put on the
ticket where it belonged he wonld be the
member elect instead Of another party.
There was enough straight Teller Sill
yer Republican tickets voted by the ero-
blem to have overcome the majority
against him. Twenty. five for tho emblem
Of this ticket were cast in the two Delta
precincts alone, and which no ono was
voted for representative. This treachery
against Mr.. Matthew'S by those whosho
have bssn his friends will be remember

operator at Neodesha who recently
went insane at that place has been ia

A hospital car to cost SO, 600, is be-

The rush of business has been so great
of late on the Las Vegas division of the
Santa Fe that the motive power is taxed
to its utmost capacity.
It is reported that the Player cOnsOH-
dated engines will take the place of the
two wheeled Baldwins between Las We

that not more than one case in ten
yield an income to the government
This plan would also dispense with
the need of money order clerks and the
red tape attendant upon the present
clumsy methods. 1t is proposed to IS
sue the Post CheQue in five, ten, TWEEN
ty-five and fifty cent pieces, also in one,
two and five dollar notes, their faces
printed in suitable form to allow or
proper entries in ink by the sender, and
their backs in suitable treasury note
form
The faces will Indicate in large fig
ures, the denomination of the note. The
Post Cheques are to be redeemable at
any postofnce. The present method OF
large business houses is to properly
sign money and express orders, which
are deposited with the other pieces or
exchange in the bank, and at some time
during the day, the bankers clerk col
lects the money therefor at
the postoffice. This will be the opera
ton in large commercial houses, with
the Post CheQue. The postmaster pays
out new Post Cheques when ne redeemS
the old ones. and this method serves
an excellent purpose in keeping the
notes fresh and comparatively clean, as
is the case with Bank Of England notes.
An Improvement in method ana de-
crease in the cost of necessities, al
way means a heavy increase in use.
In this case, the Post Cheque oners
very great convenience to the puohc,
substantial gain in business for mer-
chant and publisher, and the proba bill
ity OF a large increase In the govern
ment revenue in the money order de-
partment. The matter win be brought
before Congress at this term, and mas
much as the subject is one of para
mount interest to the commercial world
it is proposed that merchants, manu-
facturers and publishers express their
opinions on the Post Cheque matter, di-
rectly to their representative in Con-
gress.
The inventor Of the Post Cheque pro-
poses to donate his idea to the govern
ment He says it will save many mil
lion dollars to the treasury, and sug-
gests the saving be put into a navy.

dismissed suits brought for violating

heved it was legal and convicted Of
tenders for its violation.
Early in August Q. r. Ashby was ar
rested for not working out or paying
his poll tax. He set up the old plea of
the nlegality of the ordinance and ap-
piled for a writ of habeas corpus, but
instead of applying to the probate court
as is usual in such cases, he made his
application direct to the supreme court.
The case was set for hearing yester-
day afternoon. J. H. Order appeared
for the city of Fort Scott and J. NJ
Humphrey represented Mr.. Ashby, but
when the case opened, Mr.. Sheppard
created a sensation by appearing in the
case and declaring that there was col
fusion on the part of Ashby. his attor-
ney and the city officials, and that Ash
by did not wish to be discharged from
custody He said that the case had
been made up between them and it was
part of the scheme to bring a weak case
and secure a decision from the supreme
court favorab bic to the city and uphold
ing the ordinance. He also said that
Ashby was not in custody at all but on
the day that application was made to
the supreme court for a writ relea sing
him from the custody of the city mar
shall he was going about his work as
usual Mr.. Sheppard filed his own aff1-
davit, setting forth these statements

rotary of the Treasury Gage, a form of
postal domestic currency, that is appar-
emily the best solution of the problem
yet offered.
The demand is, for currency in gen
eral circulation that can be instantly
made safe for transmission by mail and
free from the present annOyances. The
Old-fashioned paper fractional currency
that was in existence during the war, is
remembered with pleasure (as cOmpar-
ed with a load of silver by all those
who ever handled it. The smooth, fiat
lying little bills that one could carry
$1,000 or $4,000 worth of in a vest pock-
ct or neatly placed in a fiat pocket
book, without weight and inconveni-
ence, were in very marked contrast
with the present knapsack arrange
ment that the average man makes of
his pocket if he undertakes to carry
any rea soma bic amount of small change.
These small fractional notes could be
sent through the mail, but they lacked
the requisite quality of safety, and the
government obtained no fee for trans
mission.
The Post Cheque is no more nor less
than fractional currency in everyday
circulation. while the spaces on the
face are left blank. They are intended
to replace the silver coin, either partial
ly or wholly. When the individual de-
sires to send a small amount Of money
through the mail. he takes from his
pocket-book, perhaps a ffty-cent piece

POST CHEQUES.
A Simple Plan of Sending
Money Safely.
A Unique Invention With the
Convenience Of
SMALL PAPER MONEY
And the Safety of the Money
Order.
Congress VIII Be Asked TO
Adopt It.
SMALL PAPER MONEY

When one reads an advertisement
and determines to send away for some
small article, he at once casts about for
the best means of transmitting his
money. To a city man, visions of a long
trip to the postoffice and possible
wait in line in front of the window, are
not pleasant. Postage stamps might do
if he had them in sufficient quantity.
True the receipt of the stamps, perhaps
stuck fast to the letter, does not add
to the joy of the merchant, but that we
cannot help. Silver coins or enclosed
bank notes are haunts in the face of
Providence.
The would-be sender Of a small sum
of money through the mail is driven to
the conclusion that no method of con-
venient and safe transmission exists at
the present day. Some resort to checks
on country banks, which cost the re-
ceiver 10 cents or Is cents each, to col
lect. It is manifest that q serious I'M
pediment exists, which detracts largely
from the possible business Of merchants
and publishers throughout the country.
1t is fair to assume that, under the
present awkward methods. the govern
meut receives toll on , perhaps not more
than One-tenth of the total annual sum
transmitted by mail, for the reason
that people will not take the trouble
to obtain Government Money Orders,
but seek in every possible way to trans
nit their small sums by some other
method. Mr.. c. W. Post, of the Pos
tum Cereal Co. Linn, at Battle Creek,
Mich. has placed before a few we'll
known merchants, and also before Sec
