The Latest Postal Suggestion.

- l;NATUR MASON of Illinois.
- who is To be chairman of the
~ committee on post Offices and
postal laws, thinks that a
good field for postal experiment Is to
he had IN the use OF the telephone
and telegraph for the rapid transmits
sion of mail. "1t is believed by many"
he says, that large share of the
mail between New York and Chicago,
short communications. could be sent
by telegraph or telephone and deliv-
cred by the government for ten cents
and at u profit. 4 short message To
New York, if put in the mail box in
Chicago at ; o'clock, would be deliv-
cred the next morning in New York
by the regular carrier. whereas If it
went by mail it would not reach New
York until the next night and would
not be delivered until the second morn
ing
If we understand the senator's idea.
he would provide in connection with
the postal service and under its STAMP
for a cheaper use of telephones or
telegraph; TOR long distance commune
cation in short messages than is now
available under the retail tolls of the
telephone and telegraph companies.
Thus instead of paying a quarter for a
tcn-word message between here and
New York he would arrange matters
SO that IL ten cent government stamp
would secure it's immediate TRANSMITS
sion from the Scranton to the New
York post office. delivery from the lat
ter to be made in regular course.
This arrangement would be very sat
isfactory to the individual; how 1t
would please the telegraph and teic-
phone companies is another matter.

that if Il perfect forestry system were
applied, three hundred times as much

ton--eighty- times as much In these
eight states. although the population of
the Philippine islands is about one
tenth of the population of the entire
United States. Secretary Root adds:
THE amount cut has proved to be in
adequate to the wants of the conmun-
ity. The inaccessibility of the forests
the absence of railroads and the pro-
hibition against building them, the lack
of proper tools and machinery and
skilled labor. have combined with the
limitations imposed by the forestry
regulations to make ii impossible to
get enough timber for the uses of the

ITALIANS SCRAP.
Get Into a Dispute and Broken
Heads Result.

There was gu te pitched battle
among the Italian laborers workin G
on the surfacing part of the Lacey
change of grade Friday afternoon.
One man, answering to the name of
Cratic Anzalone was very badly
hurt and his injuries may terminate
fatally. There have been no arrests.
There was question raised among
the laborers concerning whether a
certain man had had drink of
water. The dispute that followed
caused sides to be taken and scrap
ensued. The Italians used their
shovels as weapons and there were
numerous bad cuts and bumps. An
zalone was badly pounded and cut
and had to be brought to this city
where his wounds we're dressed. He
was taken to the Brooks Hotel and
his injuries are being cared for by
the company. His skull is fractured
but he is reported to be in a better
condition this morning.

NEW TIME CARD.
Train Schedule Changes Go Into
Effect Sunday.

A new time card went into effect
on the Iowa Central and it's branches
Sunday, June 80 and number of
changes are noticeable. The change
was effective at 1901 o'clock Sunday
morning. The change of time is more
than ordinarily important for it
marks a new era in the passenger
service of the road as the line is ex-
tended to Albert Lee, Mimi, where
direct connections are made for Min
neapolis and st. Paul. This is bid
fora part of the great volume of bus
mess between Minneapolis and st.
Paul on the north and st. Louis and
Kansas City on the south. The Iowa
Central and the Minneapolis and st.
Louis road have thel most direct
route between these points and it
stands to reason that with a fine
train such as are passengers Nos.
and 2 that great portion of the
travel will be turned in that direc-
ton. Going north train No. will
leave Oskaloosa at 6:55 o'clock a. m.
Passenger train No. 2 going south
leaves this city at $3.50 O'Clock p. m.
These trains formerly ran to and
from Mason City. The usual connec-
ton at Mason City Junction with the
Milwaukee is still maintained so that
travel in that direction is not effected.
Other changes are as follows: Pas
seng7r No. north bound from
Peoria leaves at 11:15 in place of
1905 as formerly. Passenger No.
east bound TO Peoria leaves at $3.50
in place of 2:15 as formerly.
Passenger No. north bound from
Peoria departs at 2:55 in place of $40
as by the old card.

ASSAULT AND BATTERY.
Charges Launched Against n Paper
Hanger

There was case of assault in
the mayors court. About eleven o.
clock this morning Chas. Nidiver, an
employee of the limerick painting and
paper hanging establishment, was
sent to measure the rooms of Mrs,
Lizzie Vance $40 B avenue west for
some new paper. Nidiver was some
what intoxicated, and it is claimed
that he made an assault on Mrs.
Vance, who having nothing to de-
fend herself with was badly fright
ened. After a considerable scuffie a
little girl was sent to telephone for
the police, and as soon as she left
the man went off down the road. He
was found at his home 407 North e
street and was taken to the mayors
office, but as the mayor was away
his case was postponed until Monday.

Wind and Rain

There was severe wind and rain
i'm this section Friday evening. A
great bank of clouds came out of the
northwest about 1880 o'clock and a
terrific gale of wind swept through
the city for fifteen minutes. There
was light shower later in the even
ing.
There was slight damage in the
city to shade trees and some electric
light wires and telephone lines suf-
fered but aside from that there was
no damage. The storm was the flag
end of wind and rain storm that did
considerable damage in Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan. Much live
stock was killed and there is a re-
