keyless POstOffice Boxes.

There is more than 100000 of the
peoples money locked up in postoffice
keys, each and every keyholder to box
in postoffice being required to put up
with the postmaster deposit for his
key, the amount deposited being return
ed when the box is given up and the rent
paid. Postmasters are required to keep
a strict account of the key deposit fund.
AS postofhce official puts it, there is
a great deal Of trouble and no money in
the transaction, and the final outcome Of
the trial of the keyless locks which are
to be tried in the principal Offices of the
country, is eagerly looked for.
Contracts have been made for supply
OF the new locks, which will first be plac-
ed in New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Chicago and st. Louis. as the largest
and most important offices, and in St.
Paul, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Ohio, and
Hartford, Conn. as the smaller offices
These offices will be fitted out as soon as
the factory can make the boxes. If they
prove in every way satisfactory to the
department, and to patrons, they will be
placed in offices throughout the country
but not to the entire exclusion of the
Observation-Disclosures Democrat.

Fall Millinery.

Openings have been the order of the
day in the millinery world for the past
two weeks, and this seasons modes
show very elaborate and extravagant
patterns. Miss L. c. Frenchs opening
was held October 4 and and the store
was prettily draped with fancy ribbons
and decorated with millinery trimmings.
At the Brooks-Tyler store the north
window was devoted to the display Of
trimmed hats and bonnets and
Hastily arranged ribbons and the
parlors on the second floor were resplen-
dent with pretty colored silks and
flowers and many beautiful patterns in
this seasons shapes. Many ladies
visited the store of Mrs. E. NJ Roberts,
successor to Mrs. A. M. Stanton, Satar-
day and Monday and found very
attractive store. Quite a change has
been made, in that the fancy goods have
all been disposed of and strictly a
millinery business will be carried on.
The store fixtures have been rearranged
making place for cosy reception room
to the right of the entrance. The store
was artistically trimmed with vines,
evergreens and hot house flowers. Mrs.
Roberts is stranger to the people here
but we bespeak for her your generous
patronage as she is milliner of long
experience, doing first class work and
| pleasing her customers.
Among they various styles found at each
of these stores are golf hats and tamo-
shanter crowns with silk and velvet
knots and quill trimmings for more
common wear. Many of this seasons
hats droop both in front and back and
are very heavily trimmed with silk,
velvet or chiffon, in combination with
plumes and grebe breasts. Fringed silk
or chiffon scarfs. tucks and folds are
distinctive features, entire hats being
made of tucked taffeta, and stitched
velvet or cloth being used for toques and
turban trimming. Ribbons are very
little used except on children's hats, and
in flowers only roses are found.
At Mrs. Roberts we find a special line
OF mourning millinery, dainty effects in
chidren's styles, and natty butterfly
trimmings on both hats and bonnets.
