Tuesday evening Mrs., Chas. l..
Smith entertained the crowd which
che chaperoned on Gaming trip to
Neosho river recently. And the
crowd made just as much noise and
"cut up" in just such manner as
they did while in camp. Games of
various kinds were played and
luncheon was served at II o'clock.
Mrs. Smith says che won't entertain
another crowd of that kind, however,
because the old man seems to for
get he is married. Those present
were Misses Rebecca Hartley, Mag
gle Hartley, Myrtle Hodgkins, Mary
Hileman and Creta Peters, and
Messrs. Walter Macdonald, Park
Hartley, Harry Hartley, and Carl
Hileman. The old man admits that
he tried to chow them all a good
time.
1t is believed that two of the con-
victs who escaped from the federal
penitentiary at Leavenworth last
week were seen at c. W. Harvey's
place in Quaker Valley Tuesday. A
son of Mr.. Harvey saw two men
skulking around in the orchard,
and thinking they were hunters,
went out to warn them away, where
upon they ran. Upon further in
vestigation, young Harvey found
two saddled horses tied in the or
chard and on one of the saddles
was a sack of chickens. The horses
were taken to Galena and turned
over to the officers. but the fellows
who tied them in the orchard have
not been found.

ABUSES OF MAILS.
Second Class Matter Will Hereafter Consist of Legitimate Publications.


 Washington, July 5.-Within the week stmaster-GeneraI Smitl will issue an order designed to correct the abuses in the acceptance of second class mail matter. Officials of the de- pertinent, after an exhaustive investi- gation, have come to conclusion that they can be reached and corrected in desired particulars through an order from the executive head of the depart ment
 It will be the purpose of the order to restore and insure stricter enforce ment of the law governing the trans mission of second class matter. Some time ago letters were sent out by the department to the proprietors of the leading legitimate publishing concerns of the United States asking them to send in opinions as to second class mail matter evils and methods to correct them.
 Hundreds of replies have been re- ceiyed from publishers of daily papers and magazines. and the order proposed will probably be based upon the, sug- gestions made by these publishers. 1t will not be designed to affect in any way legitimate publications, but, it is hoped, will cut off fake publications which load the mails with circulationS brought about by merchandise offers or guessing contests, which, the depart ment holds, are either fraudulent or re- iIeI9u ol s9lgI uoIlgInoI!o 0ql comp nominal sums.
 The order will be directed in part against serial publications or books which, through subterfuge, have been received at postoffices as second class matter. Second class matter now ham, dled by the department embraces al- most three-fourths of the entire weight of all mail matter. It brings in a rev enue of less than $4,000,000 year. The entire annual postal revenue is more than S110,000,000.
 It can be seen that, while it furnish es three-fourths of the weight carried in the mails, it produces not more than one-thirtieth of the revenue. The gov ernment pays out S60.000,000 year for the expense of handling second class matter above what it receives. All of the complaints which have come to the department have arisen from fake pub- lications, and there has been no com plaint growing out of the handling of legitimate daily newspapers and maga- zines.

DEPENDENT CHILDREN.
Governor Mclean Signs the Bill Con
 corning Committing Them.


 New Haven, July 5 The announce ment that Governor Mclean has signed the bill authorizing officers of the courts of the state to commit dependent and neglected children to private and sectarian asylums when public homes, such as county homes, are overcrowd- ed, was received with great deal of interest in this city. The bill affects the people of New Haven almost ex- clusively, although the law is q gen. eral. one in it's nature. It's passage was advocated by Senators Bree Ken nedy, Kenealy and Representatives Donovan and Housel of this city. The bill passed both the house and senate without serious opposition, but it is un- derstood that great pressure was brought upon the governor to induce him to veto it. The governor made careful inquiry as to the merits of the measure and decided that it ought to become law.
 Under the provisions of the law it is said quite q number of children now i'll homes in Fairfield county will be committed to the St F'rancis's orphan asylum in this city. X number now in the county home on Dixwell avenue may also be committed to the institu- ton on Prospect hill The county home is said to be over-crowded and application will be made to have q number of the Roman Catholic chil- dren transferred to the St Francis asylum.
 4 number of instances have arisen where it would have been manifestly better for all parties concerned to have certain children committed to the Cath oiic asylum, but under the old law this could not be done. The principal argu- ment advanced against the bill was that under it's provisions money would be diverted from the state treasury to private asylums. In its original form the bill was objectionable, but later it was changed so as to become general in it's provisions.
