CHRISTMAS BUSINESS IN
LARAMIE POSTOEEICE.

Postmaster Beltz states that the
Christmas rush in the Laramie post
office is not as great as it was at this
time last year. The business for the
month of December will, however, foot
up a larger total than hat for the same
month last year. In December. 1899,
most of the Christmas business came
in the last week before Christmas.
while this year it began earlier and is
spread over the entire month. The
business of this office for this year will
show a greater total than that of last
year.
Mr.. Beltz announces that mail will
from this time on be delivered to
houses that are quarantined, but that
no mail will be taken from such
houses. He makes a special request
that persons living in quarantined
houses make no effort to send letters
or packages therefrom as such things
are prolific sources of infection.

An Important Order.

There is to be hereafter a very
strict enforcement of the order against
anybody except the train crews being
permitted to ride on fruit and stock
trains without a permit from the SUI,
perintendent of the division. One OF
the chief points of defense set up by
the company in the recent suit of Mrs
Purple against the company, in Tope.
ka, was that such an order had been
issued and that Purple, who had for
merly been an employe of the com.
pany. was riding in a caboose in VIC.
lation of it. The verdict was in the
company's favor; and renewed i'm
p%ortance is therefore attached to the
regular issuance and careful enforce,
ment of the order.

which would otherwise lie idle all win.
