UNCLE SAM 10 CENTS AHEAD.

Five Envelopes Out Of a Bunch That He
wouldn't Redeem.
A reporter went into the New York
postoffioe the other day with bundle
of misdirected stamped envelopes in his
pocket to see if Uncle Sam would not
redeem them for each. He found a
window In a room on the second floor,
where this is the special business at
tended to. Uncle Sans representative
looked over the lot Of envelopes, handed
back five, with the cash for the others,
and said:
"You will have TO take trip to Falls
City, Neb.; Columbus. Ga; Newark,
N j., and Brooklyn to get those four
redeemed, and here is one we won't re-
deem at all. You see, it is this way: 1t
does not matter where an envelope is
addressed to; the point is where it
comes from-what postoffice issued it.
A postoff1ce can only redeem envelopes
which it has issued itself. If an en-
velope shows on the face of it that some
other office issued it, can't give you
cash for it.
"Now look at this one. Here In the
corner is a note, After ten days return
to Mr.. Blank, Falls City, Neb.' Evil
IDENTIFY the Falls City postofioe issued
that, and you will have to go there to
get it redeemed if you are fond Of long
distance economy Of that sort. These
envelopes here with no Return to- note
may have been issued by some other
Office, but we have no means of know
ing it and take them on faith. Here Is
one marked, Return to P. o. box 1856,
New York city We will take that, for
we evidently issued lit. The principle
is simple, even if it's workings look
complicated f"
The reporter reminded the clerk that
he had refused one envelope altogether.
The clerk took it up and looked at it.
1t had no Return to- note in the cor
ner, but the name and address were
printed on it.
swell, you see, that comes under a
different rule he continued. ''The
idea is to redeem envelopes which have
been misdirected by accident. This man
has spoiled this envelope to help on his
business, sending it to some correspond
ent inclosed with letter asking for a
business order likely. He expected the
other man to use this envelope only in
writing to him and to keep him in mind
of it he printed his address on it. He
did not intend to furnish free stamps
for his business acquaintances unless he
got them back on letters to himself.
His correspondent-you in this case
either did not send him an order or sent
it in new envelope. Now you want to
get back 2 cents. The business man
spent that 2 cents simply to boom his
business. Uncle Sam is not booming
any ones business, even to the extent
Of 2 cents, except where all share alike
through general prosperity. You cannot
get that envelope redeemed anywhere. "
The reporter thanked the clerk. After
calculating the cost of a trip to Nebras-
ka, Georgia, Newark and Brooklyn and
comparing it with the value of the four
stamped envelopes which might be re-
deemed by it he concluded it was cheap.

YOU MAY NOT REALIZE IT.
Few People Do, And That Is Why a
Great Man Has Written This Note
of Warning.

Below is the synopsis of an address
given by Professor Marshall:
1T is fact that today thousands
of people are within a foot of the grave
and they do not know it, Very many
people who read these lines realize that
at times they are unusually tired and
cannot account for it. They feel dull
and indefinite pains in various parts OF
the body and do not understand it.
Perhaps they may think it is only a
cold which will soon pass away.
Now, all the symptoms above de-
Scribed and many more of a similar ma
ture indicate the coming on of the
worst physical trouble that has ever
been known to the human race. These
symptoms are, in fact, nothing less
than the forerunners of that dreadful
Bright's disease of the kidneys, which
so often fastens itself upon the consti-
tuition before the victim is aware. 1t
is dangerous to both men and women,
especially women: is nearly as heredi-
tary as consumption, quite as common,
and fully as fatal.
Until recently it has always been
considered incurable, but a few years
since much excitement was caused
among scientists and the medical pro-
fession by a discovery which actually
cured this fearful disease. even in its
last stages. Doctors were amazed at
its power, and gladly welcomed it.
That discovery is known among meTf
of science the world over as Warner
Safe Cure, and it is no eXaggeration
to state that it has accomplished more
in the field of health than anything
which has ever been brought to the
attention of the medical profession or
the general public.
But the great popularity of War
ner'S Safe Cure is due not so much to
the fact that it has rescued victims of
Bright's disease from the brink of the
grave, as that it drives away the first
symptoms of this dread malady when
ever they appear. and restores the
sufferer to perfect health. I do not
hesitate to implore everyone who reads
these words not to neglect the slight
est symptoms of kidney difficulty Ger
tain suffering and probably death will
be the sure result of such neglect, and
no one can afford to hazard such
chances"

OMAHA EXPOSITION.
Up to Date, Thirty-fve States Have
Decided to Participate.

Omaha March 0.-Plans for state build
ings at the Mississippi exposition
are coming in rapidly. The department
of publicity has just received the archi-
tects' drawings of the Minnesota build
ing the Montana building the Arkansas
building. the Denver building and the
Missouri building. The plans for the pro-
posed Iowa building meet the hearty ap-
DroVal of exposition authorities. The IL
linOis building is nearly completed. The
Wisconsin building is well under way. The
Nebraska building is practically COM
pleted. The plans for the Denver. or Col
orados building have been accepted and
the contract win be let in a day or two.
Plans for the Georgia pine palace have
been submitted. 1t will be a handsome
structure built wholly of pine donated by
the people of Georgia.
The Minnesota building will be con-
structed on similar lines of unhewn logs
Plans for the Oregon building are now
being drawn and will be submitted next
week. Other states send assurances that
plans for their state buildings will be
forthcoming within a short time.
1t is highly probable that the states of
New York and New Jersey will construct
handsome buildings. Thirty-five states
have to date decided to participate in the
exposition. In 30 of these, commissions
have been appointed. and reports from
at least five more states will be organized
within the next ten days.
The great government building, 500 feet
long, and the pinnacle of whose dome is
nearly 200 feet high. is nearly done. The
management finds it necessary to build
several annexes to accommodate the eX-
traordinary demand for exhibit space.

GOLD NUGGETS STOLEN.
a Salmon River Miner Is Held Up
By HighWaYmen.

By Highwaymen.
A special from Grangerville, Ida, to
the Spokane Chronicle tells the story OF
miner robbed of his gold, as follows:
Dazed, scared and disgusted John
Dorm, a Salmon river miner, has blum
dered into town, bringing the story of
another daring robbery by the rowing
desperadoes who infest the lonely roads
Of central Idaho. The disaster that
overlook the reckless stage robbers a
few days earlier seems to have had no
effect upon the outlaws. Never since
the earliest days of Idaho has the trav-
eler from the gold fields found himself
so helpleSsly at the mercy of armed
and desperate men.
John Dorm, the victim. is a placer
miner. For many months. with his
brother, he has been toiling patiently
on the banks of the Salmon river.
washing out the coarse gold. This
week they weighed out their treasure
$500 in coarse flakes and shining mug
gets Of the yellow stuff-and John Dorm
wrapped the precious dust up tightly
and started to Grangeville with his
load.
Nothing happened until he was with
in few miles of GrangeVille, in the
long. lonely stretch where not a cabin
is to be seen for miles and miles. 1t
was growing dark and Dorm hurried on
in the hope of reaching town that night.
Then, from behind the bushes, just at
turn of the road. two men rode to-
ward him. the leader commanding:
Fling up your handsi"
Dorm couldn't believe his ears. He
hesitated and stammered.
Why, boys-what's this-a joke
Or
The sharp click of Winchesters pune
tuated the answer:
Throw EN- up-quicki"
The hands went up. The men closed
in. Dorm saw that they were well
armed and masked. He climbed off his
horse in a hurry and meekly watched
them as they deity went through his
pockets and opened the sack tied to his
saddle. Swearing with delight as they
saw the glittering nuggets. they quick
" tied the sack to one of their own
horses. Then. relieving Dorm of the
pistol, which had been q useless weight
in his pocket, they remoUnted and went
gallopirg down the path.
The present condition of affairs in
central Idaho is more than interesting
1t is alarming. The toughs. robbers and
outlaws of the northwest have learned
that the old gold fields are again send
ing out frequent shipments of dust and
bullion; and they are haunting the
lonely roads, ready to pounce upon any
victim who may come.
How to carry the gold past them in
safety has become a serious problem
for the mine managers. One man snug
sled S22.00 through by wrapping it in
an old blanket and disguised as a
broken-down prospector. Another COM
pany sent the gold in a wagon, guarded
by two men, heavily armed. with a
third following short distance be-
hind. Still others have trusted to the
United States mails. bat recent expert
ence has shown that even Uncle Sans
wrath has no terror for the robbers of
central Idaho.
