POST OFFICE IS CLOSED
Rural Free Delivery Results in Clos
ing Leama Office

The REGISTER has noted that there
was Il prospect that the post office at
Leanna would be closed owing to the
establishment of rural mail route.
Mr.. ID. l.. Cambell was in lola
and brings the news that the Office was
closed Saturday, bringing great in
convenience to people who get their
mail there, \ new rural delivery
route has Just been started out oi
Chanute and it comes rightto Leanna,
but supplies only patrons along the
route and does not bring mail TO the
old Leanna post office. The former
mail carrier who carried for Leanna
has been taken Off and travels only
from Stark to Odense, thus leaving all
the people north and east of Leanna
completely cut of. They are offered
the alternative Of putting up boxes at
L.eanna in which the carrier will
put their mail thus getting on the
route, or doing without, but they dis
like leaving thei" mail miles from
home in box that anyone might pick
open. 1t is an unfortunate situation
which can be remedied only by es-
tablishing route from the east or
north.
People writing to Leanna must here
after address Chanute, Kansas, Rural

In Criminal Court et Parkersburg
yesterday, Asa Scott was sentenced by
Judge Jackson to serve four months In
jail. Speaking OF the occurrence the
Sentinel says;
Somewhat of sensation was sprung
when Asa Scott was being sentenced.
Judge jackson said that of all Grimm
ais thathad been t1ed in his court for
many years, Scott was the lucklest.
He referred to the first trial of the
case, when Scott was convicted of
burglary and subject to a sentence OF
from 10 to 1S years, and how the
court had strained a point to grant
him new trial, and when the case
was bronught up for retrlal, the court
was assaulted by an affldovlt signed by
Scott in which 1t was stated that as
the Court owned the building where
the offense was committed, he would
be prejudlced in the trial. 1t was the
first time in his career thatsuch an as
sault had been made upon his integ-
rlty He could not understand why
the prisoner did this, after the Court
had shown him all the consideration
possible.
AT this point the prisoner arose ant
stated that he did not know what was
in the paper when he signed it.
Judge jackson asked him whether
the paper had been read to him, oi
whether he had read it himself, anC
was sworn before he signed 1t.
Sect stated positively that the pa
per was neither read to him nor did h
read 1t himself. They asked him t
sign it.
The Court said that that was a sur
prising statement and he was gat
Scott made it, in order to set himsel
right. 1t was in line with some of tn
other proceedings IN the case. An of
hcer, he said, who would swear a per
son to paper of that kind withou
reading it to such person, or allowing
him to read it, violated his off1cla
oath and the law of the land.
Scott was sentenced to four month
in Jail.

MONEY MUSK.

In shirt OF check and talfowed hair,
The fiddler sits in the bulr1sh chair
Like Moses basket, stranded there
On the brink OF Father Nile.
He feels the fiddle's slender neck,
Picks out the notes with thrum and
check,
And times the tune with nod and beck
And thinks it a weary while
All ready Now he gives the call,
Cries, Honor to the ladiesI" An
The jolly tides of laughter fall
And ebb in happy smile.
Down comes the bow on every
string,
First couple join right hands and
swing!"
AS light as any bluebirds wing,
Swing once and half times

Whlrls Mary Martin all in blue
Calico gown and stockings new
And tinted eyes that tell you true,
Dance all to the dancing sound.
She fits about big Moses Brown,
Who holds her hands to keep her
down,
And thinks her hair golden crown,
And his heart turns over once!
His cheek with Mary's breath is wet,
II gives a second somerset!
He means to win the maiden yet
Alas, for the awkward Ounce.
Your stoga boot has cruched my toe!"

The girls and boys have taken wing
And have brought their roses out!

Busy Stamping Coin.

"Our mints," said Director Roberts,
"have gone to stamping out gold coin.
Our Chistmas trade in nickles and
one-cent pieces is Overland we are try
ing to catch up on the larger denomin-
atlons. We are coming at only three
places--Philadelphia, New Orleans
and San Francisco. Just now the
presses in New Orleans are running on
silver dollars, and with slight excep-
tions the presses at Philadelphia and
Francisco on twenty-dollar gold pieces
which are the money of the bank re-
serves. 1t beats all how the demand
for particular kinds of coin shows it,
self by seasons. There Is just as dis
tlnct a Christmas trade for the pro-
duct of the mints as for the toy shops.
Last year, particularly during the fall
months, the run on nlckels was phe-
nomenal, and almost unaccountable.
The good times, of course, had most TO
do with it"--New York Evening Post.

He shunneth water as a mad dog, and

deslreth to raise HI he planteth a
neighbor, and 10. he reapeth twenty
fold.
He riseth, even from the cradle to

the ammunition of his cousins uncles

Yea, verify, his life is uncertain and
he knoweth net the hour when he may
be jerked hence. He goeth forth on a
journey half shot, and cometh back
on shutter shot. He riseth in the
night to let the cat out, and it taketh
nine doctors to pick the buckshot out
He goeth forth in Joy and gladness

A Big Ship.

Last month the Deutchland was
launched. She is to be competitor
OF the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse.
The following description will give
an idea of the stupendous proportions
Of the new steamship: Length over
all, 6S4 feet; beam, 81 feet; nodded
depth, A feet displacement, loaded,
22,200 tons; measurement, 1920 tons
registered; horse power, .00O;weight
at time Of launching, $500 tons.
Steam is supplied from IL double
and single boilers, with 112 fires,
which drive Two six-cyIinder quadru-
pie expansion hammer engines of 49,
900 horse power. The I'd propeller
shafts are each 40 meters (l31.23 feet)
long and $50 milllmeters (24.S inches)
in diameter; each Of the bronze pro-
pellers being meters (22.96 feeO in
diameter.
The ship has double bottom ex-
teGning its entire length, which is di-
Vlded into "A bulkheads extending
from keel to main deck and one longi-
tutinal bulkhead in the engine room
divide the steamer into II water-tlght
compartments. 1t is claimed that If 2
adjoining compartments were to fill
with water the ship would not sink.
The Deutschland is supposed to have
accommodations for 1857 passenger
and crew of SIS. She is conslderab-
ly larger than the Kaiser Wilhelm but
smaller than the great Oceanic. But
they think she will be faster than
either.

Parnell had some pet superstitions,
according to his biographer. Barry
O'Brien. He would not pass another
person on the stairs. He was horror
stricken to find himself sitting with
three lighted candles; the fall of a
picture in the room made him detected
for the entire afternoon, and he would
have nothing to do with an important
bill drawn up by colleague because 1t
happened to contain thirteen clauses.
He also thought green a most unlucky
color-a strange and inconvenient feel
ing for Nationalist leader-and the
sight of green banners at the political
meetings he addressed often unnerved
him"

Secretary Long Very Hopeful.

Washington, July 23.-Secretary
Long says it is great victory for the
state department of the United States.
Every country in Christendom was
employing every agency in its posses
sion to obtain authentic news of the
besieged ministers, and the United
States is the first to give to the world
authentic and absolutely reliable word
direct from Pekin. There is now good
reason to believe that the ministers
will be able to hold out until reliev-
ing force reaches them. If they have
been able to stand the siege for almost
a month after the outside world had
given up hope there seems no reason
to fear that they will not be able to
hold out little longer.
