There will be no election oe c Presi- dent General at the Congress of 1902 to disturb the minds of the delegates and consume valuable. time, but it will be a year for legislative measures.
 The law regulating representation cannot be effective till 1903, but as the weight of sentiment is on the side of a great reduction, no time need be vast ed in arguing this point. It is greatly desired that the State Regents, when they come together, can frame a law exactly suited to the situation, and which will provoke no contention.
 Forty-five State Regents ought to be able to settle the question satisfacto- rily, or, as for that matter, forty-ive intelligent. practical, sensible. loyal D. A. R.'s who are not State Regents, ought to be able to do so.

 Mrs. Slocumb was Mary Hooks; she was born in Bertie County. N. C., about 176O. Her father moved to Dup lin County when she was ten years old. Mir. Hooks. the father. was an open hearted hospitable man and very pop ular. He settled in that part of North Carolina called Goshen. still famous for the frank simplicity of the man ners of it's inhabitants and their pro fuse and generous hospitality.

 Dear Mrs. -: Your letter re- ceived. The relic you allude to is a Continental bill belonging originally to my husbands grandfather, -: who held thre commissioned offices in the Revolution, that of Lieutenant, Captain and Major. His first service as a sol- dier was as a volunteer in an expedi- tion against the Tories in South Caro- lima, his native State. This was in l775. In May. 176, while he was absent from home, on a trip to Charleston. a volunteer company was organized in his neighborhood and he was elected First Lieutenant; he received his com mission in June, signed by John Rut- ledge. then Governor of the colony of South Carolina. mention the above facts to show the money was paid to a Revolutionary soldier of our family, and we value this relic very highly. see your Chapter is named for General Sumter.

UNCLE SAM AS A PEDDLER.
Rural Free Delivery Men Make Troub
lie for Department.

Washington, June 27.-Superintend-
ent Mashen, of the rural free delivery,
is wrestling with problem which has
quickly assumed gigantic proportions.
He has discovered that the carriers of
the rural service have become sales
and delivery agents of wholesale
houses of big cities like Chicago Phil
adelphia, New York and st. Louis,
and that they are performing their
self-appointed duties so well that they
are undermining the country mer-
chants ia the districts where they de-
liver letters. This is not the most SER
ious aspect of the activities of the car
riers. They have entered into ar
lrangements with several wholesale
liquor firms of Chicago that have dis
covered the advantages of the new
system and are selling and delivering
wines and whiskeys in considerable
quantities. This traffic is carried on
not only in states where there is no
prohibition or local option, but in
states like Iowa, Kansas and Maine,
where the sale of liquor is prohibited
or seriously restricted. The depart
ment is afraid that If its carriers keep
up the traffic they will get into trouble
with the local authorities, and Super
intendent Mashen is anxious to avoid
this If possible. A rule, prohibiting
the carriers from becoming agents for
Whistles, beer or alcoholic beverages
of any description will be promulgated
at once. The problem of preventing
the carriers from selling groceries and
supplies of city wholesale houses is a
different thing, however the depart
ment may experience difficulty in put
ing an end to it. Country merchants
whose business is being interferred
with and members OF congress from
rural districts are flooding the depart
ment with protests against such prac
tice, which has become almost univer
sal with rural free, delivery carriers

MORE INJUNCTIONS|
Eldon and Keb Saloonists Feel the
Weight Of Abrams Hand.
HEARINGS SET BY JUDGE ROBERTS
Part of Them Fixed for July 10 and
Remainder for July 1-BeIieved In.
functions Will lssue-Hard at Work
on Another Petition for County.

The work of H. H. Abrams, of Des
Moines, state superintendent of the
Iowa anti-salon league made itself
again manifest in Wapello county to-
day when petitions for injunctions to
restrain Keb and E1don saloon-keepers
from doing business were filed with
the county. clerk. Judge Roberts set
the time for hearing the cases for
July 10, with the exception of one from
Eldon, which will be heard Monday
morning, July !. The cases as filed
today are as follows, the name of the
second defendant in each case being
the owner of the building in which the
saloon is alleged to be conducted con-
trary to law: Arthur Devlin VS.
Thomas Bagnall and D. J. Morgan, of
Keb. Jaques & Jaques are the attor-
neys for the plaintiff, J. G. Burbage
VS. Geo. Cline and Mrs. Anna Kane, of
Eldon. l. H. Tomlinson is attorney
for the plaintiff. These cases are set
for hearing at 8 O'Clock, July 10.
The third case is that of A. l.. Criley
VS. Geo. Horrocks and S. M. Reese of
Eldon. This case is set for hearing
at 8 o'clock July 1.
Gets All Outlying Places.
With the petitions filed June 25, it
is believed these cover all the saloons
in Wapello county outside of Ottum-
wa. Mr.. Abrams stated to a Courier
representative upon the occasion of
his visit few days ago that he would
close every saloon in Wapello county
outside of the city, and it begins to
look as though he would make his
word good If is understood that all
the petitions are based on the same
ground, that of an illegal petition of
consent, and as one case has already
been decided, that of Caruthers of
Blakesburg, who was closed about a
week ago, it is believed there is no
question but that an injunction will is
sue.
Another Petition.
1t is said that the saloonkeepers of
the county are busily engaged in Sc
curing signers for a new petition, and
that they have every assurance of be-
ing able to have one to present to the
board of supervisors at it's next meet
ing. What action Abrams will then
take is not known. He has said, how
ever, that he would not interfere if
saloon was run according to the mulct
law, and if this is the case the county
will probably have it's saloons going
again before the snow flies.-
