ESTIMATES SUBMITTED.

Mr.. Shallenberger submits estimates
for his entire service OF $56.944, goo for
the next year and says the estimated
expenditures the present year viii be
S54. 2l5, 7SS. Special recognition is given
TO the courage and faiJhfulness OF the
postal clerks and other officers who.
during the yellow fever epidemic in the
south, remained at their posts. Mr..
Shallenberger also submits a special
report upon the investigation recently
concluded in Great Britain, France and
Germany into the character of their
railway mail transportation. He says
the average distance of mail carried by
railroads here is three times greater
than in Great Britain. The United
States carries double the per cent Of
mail matter of all classes than Great
Britain, with over $1,000 more post
offices and SO cents greater per capita
expenditure for mails. The postal sys-
tenn of France is not equal to that of
The United States in many respects. In

Death or MRS. Anna l.. PeaDOuy.-
The announcement on Monday last of
the death OF Mrs. Anna L. Peabody
brought sorrow to many persons in this
community. Mrs. Peabody had been
suffering from an attack OF the grip for
some days, but was not thought to be
dangerously i'll until within a short time
before her death. When she retired on
Sunday night she was apparently in
comfortable condition, but very early
the next morning was found to be sink
ing rapidly, heart failure having devel-
oped, and despite prompt medical at
tendance she passed away.
Mrs. Peabody was in her 46th year.
For five years past she had been employed
in the Fairbanks dry.goods store (now
the Brooks-Tyler company, having be-
fore that time been engaged with Lougee
Brothers & Smythe and Mrs. Helen P.
Carpenter. In her business positions she
carried herselfwith quiet dignity and
loyal devotion to both employer and
customer that won for her many friends
and the confidence Of the ladies whose
needs brought them to the counter over
which she presided. In church and social
circles too, this lady's qualities OF heart
and mind were most helpful 10 Others,
and she will be greatly missed. Mrs.
Peabody was the daughter of E. D.
Blodgett. and upon him this sorrow falls
with crushing force, coming so soon alter
the death OF his wife. One daughter,
Miss Marjorie Peabody, is left to mourn
the loss OF devoted mother.
