RURAL MAIL SERVICE
May be Inaugurated Here
About July |.
ADVAN TAGE TO FARMERS
System Has Worked Success
fully in Eastern States.

The rural free mail delivery system,
which has been so successfully carried on
in other states, will no doubt be in
augurated in Sedgwick county in the very
near future. In fact, arrangements are
now being made. For some days the
rural delivery inspector who has charge
Of such matters, has been expected IN
Kansas, and when he comes he win act
upon the several petitions now on file
for routes in this county
There seems to be no question but that
several routes will be established in this
county, but it is not known whether or
not any will be started from this office,
for the present at least To obtain this
free delivery service in the country dis
tricts it is necessary for the farmers TO
petition. OF course they will be estab-
lished in the districts most thickly set
tied. There are many advantages to the
farmers in having this system.
II the west the rural mail service is a
new thing and the country people are
largely unacquainted with it. but if the
system is established in this county it
will be very advantageous. The routes
are mapped out by the inspector. who al
lots certain districts to each carrier. It
is likely that route will be established
from the limits Of the city north along
the Little Arkansas river and back, and
one from Derby south, taking in Salem
township. The eastern route. as con-
templated, will extend 20 the county line
and back
The rural free mail devilery will work
very satisfactory to the farmer and will
enable him to receive his mail daty,
which will offer many conveniences. At
present the farmers do not come TO town
more than twice week and sometimes
only once. Under this system all the
government requirements is that each
farmer shall erect a mail box along the
route to be determined upon later, as the
carrier will not be allowed to take the
mail TO the house. In some instances
the houses may be off the main route,
and in this case the farmer can get his
mail by going to the public road, or on
the mail route It is not expected that
every farmer in the county will receive
the benefit Of the contemplated service
Immediately. as only a few routes will
be established for the present.
The matter of granting the petition has
reached no definite dimension and cannot
until the inspector arrives and it is
barely possible that the Wichita office
will not be the starting point In the
east it is generally the case that the
smaller towns are made the center of
operations. This is on account of the
carriers having to go so far before the
rural district is reached. In many cases
the inauguration OF the system abolishes
fourth-class postoffices, but this is not
to occur in this instance.
Assistant Postmaster Ed. Jewett ex-
poets that the system will be adopted
about july 1.

cert. The members were given a royal

JudSe Kirk Decides lie Is Not En-
titled to Damage.

Yesterday Judge Kirk Of the city court

defendant. The corn was to be deliv-
cred as soon as possible on cars at
Wichita Heights. Mr.. Vandergrift had
delivered go bushels as agreed, but did
not deliver the rest until the market
had gone down and the plaintiff had in
CURED considerable loss
Mr. Vandergrift proved that he had
not delivered the balance Of the corn
for the reason that he was unable TO get
the Santa Fe to set a car at his station.
The judge decided that under the cir
cumstanees. the defendant was not re
sponsible for any loss which might have
been incurred by the plaintiff. and gave
him the decision.
The other case was the suit brought by

Washington, July Io.-Treasury officials
from information from various sources
during the last two weeks have reason to
believe that there will be over 10000

to the states so they will not have to en-
dure the hardships and sufferings bound to
come next winter. The question with the

MAIL IN THE COUNTRY.

The statement of the ways and
means for securing free rural delivery
given by Post Office Inspector Flint
shows that Hawaii Is In a better posi-
ton to obtain this system than any
State or Territory OF the Mainland.
Inspector Flint himself has full author
ity to establish. these routes and 1t is
certain Governor Dole will render
every assistance possible. Hawaii
is not required to await the action OF
Congressman or Delegate. The people
San proceed Immediately, and the sys-
TEN can be promptly set in motion
upon a demonstration that the contem-
plated routes have the required number
OF families willing to go to the expense
Of placing a proper box at their gates
The ease with which country resi-
dents can have daily mail facilities
ought to rouse the people throughout
the Islands to prompt and aggressive
action. The mail carriers salary OF
$500 may not appeal to the individuals
who look for large salaries when work
ing for the Government, and the same
objection may be raised as has beer

postoffices-there's not enough In II

CONVENTION.
One Continual Round Of Good Judg-
msnt and Harnony---Ths
Largest in Years.

A more harmonious convention never
convened in the state than the Demo
cratic convention that met in Yankton
last week to join hands with the Popu-
lists in nominating state and congres.
sional ticket and presidential electors.
The convention exceeded in numbers
by 100 delegates. any gathering Of that
party for years and as for harmony and
enthusiasm. it was second Kansas
City convention, only smaller. Chair
man Bowler called the convention to
order at 8 p. m. Wednesday and by
supper time no business, other than the
temporary organization was attended
to. The convention could not have
made a better selection than they did
when they selected H. II. Smith OF
Sioux Falls. temporary chairman.
Upon taking the chair Mr.. Smith made
a speech that opened the eyes of all as
the necessary work Of the coming cam
paign and he also had much to do with
bringing about the unequaled harmony
which prevailed. The committee on
permanent organization reported after
supper recommending John r. Wilson OF
Deadwood. permanent chairman. which
recommendation was adopted. Everett
Smith Of Mitchell was greeted with
continuous applause when he read the
resolutions prepared by the committee
appointed for that purpose. and more
especially when he read that para
graph referring to Senator Pettigrew.
Several ideas in regard to the formation
of the conference committee were pre-
sented, but it was finally agreed that
Maris Taylor, True A. Childs and q. Il.
Smith should represent the Democratic
convention in conference with the COM
mlttee of nine selected by the Fopalist
convention. After selecting a new
state central COMMITTEES with John
Pusey of Miller, as chairman, the CON
vention adjourned for the night. The
first report gave to the Democrats q
congressman, secretary of state, state
auditor and commissioner of schools
and public lands, but it was evident
that it was not congressman that the
Democrats were after, but a portion of
the electoral ticket. The conference
committee retired and in an aour,
brought in the report giving the Demo-
Gratis two electors. secretary OF state,
state auditor and commissioner Of
school and public lands and also state
treasurer. This report was adopted
with whoop, and the convention
headed by the Sioux Falls band pro-
ceeded to the Populist convention to1
notify the latter body of the action OF
the Democrats. The Populist conven-
ton took an adjournment 80 as to ac-
cept the invitation of the Democrats tol
participate, in street parade, in which.
over 1 200 were in line. At this point
enthusiasm was at its height. After
an hour the conventions returned to
work and the selecting of the ticket
was taken up. Two presidential elect
ors were named before supper and the
four state officers In the evening. after
which the nominees of the Populist
were endorsed in due form.
There being no other business the
usual adjournment motion was put
and carried.
