A UNIQUE IDEA.
Plan of n Quincy OIlJ Man for a @. o..
ID. Collection by Mail Finds Favor
with Post Office Officials.

The Quincy Qn.) Journal Of a re-
cent date contained a notice of a new
c. o. D. scheme suggested by Mr.. Harry
H. Charles, Of that city, as an important
feature for the proposed domestic par
GELS post in connection with the gov
ernment post Office department. In
a paper which the Journal announced
would be read before the convention
of first-class postmasters at Washing
ton, Mr.. Charles explains his ideas as
to the proposed C. o. d. plan. This
feature Mr.. Charles has been working
out for more than year. He was"
says the Journal, "set to thinking about
its feasibility through the eXigencies
of the large mail-order business of the
house of which he is manager" Some
difficulties he had met with set him
"to thinking, with the result that
he made 200 successful experiments
OF sending packages c. o. D. by
mail. In each case he wrote at
the same time to the postmas-
ter asking him to deliver the pack
age to the consignee upon payment of
charges and to forward the amount
less his own fee. In every one of the
200 test cases the experiment was a
success, and in no instance was the
postmaster's fee more than ten cents.
Most of them were satisfied with their
commission on the money order by
which they returned the money"
When the postmaster general was
recently in Quincy with President Nc
Kinley, Mr.. Charles met him by APP
pointment "and was highly gratified at
the words of praise from Mr., Smith
for his idea. Attorney General Griggs
was present to pass on the legality
of the measure, and after short con-
sideration he said that there could be
no objection to it,"

chilkats on the Warpath.

The Chilkat Indians in Alaska are on
the warpath. Twenty bucks armed with
rifles gathered from their several villages
along the Chilkat river and marched to
Rocky Point, eight miles from Haines'
Mission, where eight white men were
blasting rock for trail to Klukwan, dis
lance of twenty-five miles. The Indians
drove the whites away. Word was imme-
diately sent to the United States marshal
and commissioner at Skaguay and to
Capt. Cheatman, in command of the
troops at Dyea. Sixteen soldiers, under
command of sergeant, were at once sent
to Haines' Mission. 1t is understood that
parties who are opposed to the construc-
ton of the new trail have melted the In
dams to make trouble.

BIG VOLUMEOF TRADE
AGGREGATE is IN EXCESS OF
LAST YEAR.
Foreign Prices of Iron and steel Ad-
vance, and Demand Is Very Active
Shipments of Wheat-Two Divisions
of Rural Mail Service.

Bradstreet's commercial review says:
"While wholesale trade continues Of be-
tHeen-seasons volume every general evil
dence is forthcoming that the aggregate
Is in excess of last years undeniably good
proportions and retail demand is of an en-
couraging character. Advances in price
and reported great activity abroad point
to the widespread demand for iron and
steel and render less doubtful the hold OF
American products on foreign markets.
The tone of general values is notably
strong for the season of the year, prom
inent exception being pork and hog pro-
ducts generally, which have been the sub
feet of bearish manipulation. Cereals are
generally firm. Copper, among the met
ais, retained all it's strength. In textiles
raw cotton is rather weaker. Wheat, in
Guiding -four, shipments for the week ag-
gregate 3,4S4,OS1 bushels, against 3,o2o'-
403 bushels last week. Corn exports for
the week aggregate 2,S47, 29O bushels
against 2,615,079 bushels last week"

officials Removal Demanded.

AS result of Gen. Torres oppressive
conduct toward American merchants
trading at Bluefelds, Nicaragua, this Gov
eminent has determined to require the
Nicaraguan Government to relieve him
from duty at that point. It is the under
standing of the officials that demand has
already been submitted for the punish
ment of Gen. Torres and no doubt exists
that the Zelaya Government, to show it's
friendship for the United States, will take
proper action. 1t is proposed by the au-
thorities to keep the Detroit at Bluefelds
to enforce respect and to provide protec-
ton to Americans until the controversy
has been settled and there is a restoration
of peace and order. 1t is said by the Off
Gals that this can only be accomplished
by the withdrawal of Gen. Torres.

CONVICT ESCAPES AS FREIGHT.

Mail eox Robber Hides in Box Lesv.
ing Ohio's Penitentiary.
Timothy Hogan, one of the most widely
known mail box robbers in the United
States, escaped from the Ohio penitentiary
at Columbus by hiding in a box being
shipped out the walls as freight. Hogan
worked in the cigar shop and while pack
ing large order for shipment jumped
into the box and the lid was nailed down
by another convict. Hogan chose this box
because the contents were required to
weigh 165 pounds, which is his exact
weight. The box, therefore, was passed
by the inspector. Upon it's arrival at the
shipping point two clerks turned the box
over several times in weighing it, but
failed to detect it's contents. Ten min
utes later one Of the clerks noticed man
clad in a pair of trousers and an under
shirt, with his cap in his hand, running
toward the rear door. The open box told
the story. They made an effort to cap
ture him, but he succeeded in making good
his escape.

Opening Does Not Draw a Very Large
Crowd.
There was considerable excitement at
Durango, Colo, over the opening of the
Ute reservation to settlers, but the rush
into the 600 acres south when they were
thrown open did not equal the Cherokee
opening. Less than a thousand people
started in the mad rush to secure valua-
BILE sites. It was thought that nearly
5000 would make the race, but many were
disappointed with the appearance of the
land.
The start was made promptly at noon,
and several hundred people who did not
bother with the land office officials made
a race for the choice locations. Only 100
lined up at the land office. No trouble was
reported All night men We're seen start
ing in the direction of the Ute lands, and
all forenoon there was a continuous
stream Of home seekers toward the point
where the race commenced
