Proves Our Case.

For some time past the HERALD
has been trying to induce the post
master of this place to give the peo-
pie better service. The HERALD has
contended that mails should not be
closed until 8 O'Clock p. m, A week
or SO ago this paper told of the delay
OF q very important letter. Last
week the Dispatch published the fol-
lowing letter from Mr.. Handy, who
is the party who mailed the letter the
HERALD referred to:
PHILLIPsBURa, Ks, AUG 4, 1900.
I suppose am the insurance agent
referred to IN the above article, pub
lSshed in the HERALD of last week,
and in the exoneratlOn OF the post
master at PhillIpsburg. 1 desire to
cay that the letter in question was
not mailed until after $50 p. m on
the 10th of July, and it was mailed
in the outside box. When I mailed
It at that hour I knew that the post
Office had been closed for fully an
hour and I did not expect it to be
dispatched in the mails until the next
day, July II. The letter in question
left Phillipsburg on the first train
that carried mail after the Office was
opened the next morning, and I did
not expect the outside box, where the
letter was deposited, to be opened
until the next morning and it should
have been received by the company
the next morning. There was no
delay IN diEpatchiDg the letter in
question, neither has there been any
complaint made by the company on
account Of any delay of said letter, to
my knowledge.
The letter was addressed to Denver
and left Phillipsbur1 at $3.50 D M,
on the night of july II, and not at
1850 q. m. on the 18th as stated in
the HERALD, and this is the very first
train that it could go on. and the first
one I expected it to. Il A. HANDY.
Note that the letter was mailed
after $50 p. m. on the 18th and left
this place at 9:35 of the IL, and re-
malded in the postoffice twenty five
hours and five minutes before it was
sent out. Quick work, amt it. The
great mass of men are not quite so
good nstured as Is Mr.. Handy and
want their letters got off q little
quicker. The facts as printed in last
weeks HERALD were all obtained
from parties interested and no state
ment made by the HERALD was print
ed except such that were based upon
remarks made to the writer, and
which remarks were taken by the
writer to be truthful If the HERALD
was misinformed the fault is not
with it.
The HERALD would suggest that
Mr.. Royce prepare a statement of the
arrival and departures of mails. to.
getheT With the time of closing them
at this Office. and submit it to the
department.. Dare be do it2

TRUANT LONDON CHILDREN.
Many of Them Brought to School by
a Monkey Trick.

Monkeys are very amusing creatures.
but one hardly thinks of them rs useful
in educational work. However. their aid
has lately been sought by the London
school officers, with admirable results.
1t seems that in one of the school dis
tricts there were not as many children
reported by the parents as being OF
school age as the officers knew there
ought to be-so, to ascertain the real
number they called in the monkey to
help them, in this way:
Two monkeys were gaily dressed. nut
in a wagon, and, accompanied by brass
band, were carried through the streets Of
the district. At once crowds of children
made their appearance. The procession
was stopped in a park. and the school
officers began their work; distributing
sweets TO youngsters, they tool, their
names and addresses They found out
that sixty parents kept their children
from school This ingenious method
brought to school about two hundred
boys and girls,--Indian Witness.
