Maple Sugar.

The season for making maple sugar
has almost arrived. Those of our cit
liens who own sugar camps have
been busy for several days getting
their keelers and the evaporating
pans in condition to handle the pro-
duct. Weather conditions and the
degree of energy displayed by the
husbandman in gathering the crop
alone regulate the supply. If the
weather be balmy and dry the crop
will be large; if cold and wet the re-
verse will be true

PAN-AMRRIcAN POSTAGE STAMPS
Lancaster Office Among the First to
Receive the New Issue.

The PanAmerican stamps have
made their appearance. There have
been numerous calls for them at the
local postoflice. Postmaster Webb
was one of the first to tile an order
for consignment of the new stamps
and as result the Lancaster post
office received them nearly as soon
as did Chicago, Milwaukee and the
larger cities.
They were hard to obtain. the de-
partment being behind with its print
ing, and naturally there is a biz de-
mand for the ..Pan-Ams.
The local office has them in
the ordinary denominations most Of
them, of course, being of the two-cent
variety According to the orders Of
the department at Washington. these
stamps are not TO be sold to the eN-
clusion OF the regular supply Of ordi-
nary stamps, but will be given out
only when called for. The stamps
are very pretty design, being print.
ed IN different colors for each denom'
ination and the design on all being
different.
The one cent stamp has the picture
of a lake steamer and the inscription
East Lake Navigation under it
The two-cent stamps contain the pie
ture of an up-to- date railroad train
with the inscription Fast Express.
The four-cent stamp is printed with 5
picture Of the latest style carriage
with the werd Automobile" under ii
The five cent stamp is engraved witt
a bridgeand the inscription is Bridge
over Niagara Falls" The ten-centert
contain line steamship, the inscrip
tion being Fast Ocean Navigation.

where it is crossed by the cemetery
road a couple of wagon-loads Of old
shoe uppers had been dumped and
deemed it wise to demonstrate against
such work. The Council surmised
the identity OF the fellow who did the

to see to it that certain swarthy-
featured, industrious resident of the
18th ward lost no time in removing
the mess to another point for dump

finances did not allow any great ex-
penditure. Matter of rebuilding old
walks left TO the committee on side

struct the walk in front of his resi-
dence property within ten days or re-
turn material obtained from the city

Ruling on Money Orders.

Some months ago the postofliee de-
partment decided to make money
orders payable at any office, regard
less on what one they were drawn.
The comptroller of the treasury has
just decided that postal money orders
are payable only by postmasters upon
whom they We're drawn. and to whom
notice Of the issue thereof has been
sent. 1t has been the practice here
tofore to cash money orders at post
offices other than those on which
they were drawn and for the post
masters cashing such orders to turn
them into the postoffice department
as vouchers.

Now Down the Dandelions.

1t is discouraging for the owner of
a nice lawn to see how dandelions
flourish on adjacent premises Tn
less all work against the pests the
pretty yellow is soon succ eeded by the
feathery balls that presage a bigger
crop the next season. If the careless
or Indifferent people were the only
ones to pay the penalty there would
be no kick due from others, but the
seeds from one lot are waited over
wide areas AMI the industrious, care
ful and painstaking ones get the bene-
fit.
Ii the people would run their lawn
mowers over the dandelions wien
their yellow heads are at their height,
aud would rake the slaughtered beau
ties and put them where blossom
are impossible. they would easily and
quickly reduce the growth Of the COM
ing year

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
The Project no Longer an Experiment
but a Permanent Feature.

OF the four rural free delivery mail
routes from the Lancaster postoffice,
three have been in operation over a
year, having been instituted May l,
1900 and the fourth was established
June 4th of last year.
The routes were located by the
special agent to serve the most people
possible in the miles travelled by the
carriers and to put the routes on the
best roads. In delivering the mail in
the rural districts the postoilice de-
partment requires that the residents
shall keep the roads in good repair
and keep them open in case of storms
in the winter. There is no discussion
in regard to the roads; if they are not
in passable condition the service is
simply discontinued. As the people
have become accustomed to depend on
the delivery of their mail every day
and place great value on the service,
il will be one of the greatest promot-
ers of good roads. Columns and vol
umes have been written about good
roads with too little effect, but the
farmer who is deprived of the reading
of his daily paper on account of bad
piece Of road in his neighborhood will
see to it that the needed repairs are
made. Even during the short time
the service has been in operation it
hoe c,;vop eeraat aticfaatior 70 tho no
irons. many farmers consider that the
value of their farms has been greatly
enhanced and all are enthusiastic in
their praise ofthe service. Other con-
veniences besides the delivery of mail
are afforded by the service. Carriers
sell postage stamps, cards, stamped
envelopes and newspaper wrappers,
deliver and receive registered letters
and parcels and take applications for
money orders, thus bringing to the
farmers door every convenience al
forded by a postoflice. In addition
carriers are permitted to do errands
and deliver unavailable packages when
the work does not interfere with the
prompt delivery of the mail. The
number of patrons of the Lancaster
routes is increasing daily by giving
service to those who live short dis
tances from the roads travelled by the
carriers. 1t seems great undertake
ing to deliver mail throughout the
country districts of the United States;
but carefully conducted experiments
hich have been carried on by the de-
partment during several years past,
have proven that the new departure
was possible, and Congress has ably
supported the department by appro-
priations and the personal assistance
of membe to whom all applications
are referred before action is taken.
AS the benefits Of the service become
better understood by tie people APP
plications for the service have been
filed in such large numbers that the
department is simply unable to give
them anything like prompt attention.
and congressman who were enabled to
secure action for their districts are
considered extremely fortunate. Lo-
cally the routes established at Lancas-
ter have added $500 annually to the
earnings of the people.

SERVANT GIRL PROBLEM.
Travelling Evangelist Offers Solution
TO the Perplexing Question Con-
fronting Housewives.

Wisconsin housewives are rejoicing
over what they believe to be solu-
tion Of the servant girl problem and
many have contributed money TO
bring about the desired results. A
travelling negro evangelist, working
in the interests of his people, pro-
poses to introduce large number Of
southern girls into Wisconsin, where
they will be placed with responsible
parties to work for their board as
house servants and at the same time
gain advantages in education which
they never could acquire in the south.
The plan is meeting with the hearty
support OF many people about the state,
clergymen of various denominations
having endorsed it. The first of the
c1lored servants is expected to arrive
early ia the summer and will be dis
tributed among the towns and cities
Of Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Fond du-
Lac, Oshkosh and Appleton receiving
the greatest number.

HORSE THIEVES CONFESS.
Equine Purloiners Captured Near
Wyalusing Admit Their
Guilt.

Our Patch Grove and Bsscobel cor
respondents speak elsewhere of the
contiscation of team of horses at
Boscobel Thursday evening last. and
we will endeavor to refrain from re-
hash of their statements concerning
the case. The two thieves are in Gus
tody OF Sheriff Dickinson at the coun-
ty Jail. They were put through
sweat-box examination by the sheriff
and Dist. Atty. Brown Monday and
before leaving the sheriff 5 office mace
a full and complete confession of their
guilt in writing, to which they at
tached their names as Al. Miller and
Ed Rice. The former claims to have
hailed from Chicago and the latter
from Minneapolis. Both are young
| and might be properly termed 1.-THE
long and the short men," one being
sstockily built and the other tall and
Alm.
Unless some special dispensation is
granted, the prisoners will remain
J confined in the county Jail until the
regular term of circuit court in Octo-
Der, when they will plead guilty and
receive sentence. The law prescribes
penalty OF two to fifteen years.
After securing the team at Bosco-
bel the thieves went north, crossing
the Boscobel bridge. They travelled
Crawford county thoroughly all day
Friday and Friday night and lost their
bearings, fading themselves at
Bridgeport Saturday morning. Cross
ing the bridge at this point under the
dead run on account of the fact that
their identity had been discovered
while passing through the village, the
robbers drove to point midway be-
tween Bridgeport and Patch Grove,
where they alighted, embarrassed the
team. carried the buggy bodily to a
ravine ten feet from the road, again
hitched up and drove up side hill
some distance where they deposited
the buggy. They went farther and
left the harnesses, then farther and
turned the horses loose. At this point
they were but short distance from
Wyalusing and their main endeavor
was to contiscate skiff and escape to
the Iowa shore, giving up all hope of
retaining possession OF the team.
Under Sheriff Cox and posse of
men in the meantime were securing
the woods in their rear, while Sheriff
Dickinson, surmisiDg correctly their
Intentions, took post of sentry on
he Highway short distance from
the timber and but a half mile from
Wyalusing He engaged two trusty
assistants and patiently watched and
waited Between ten and eleven
O'Clock the pair much wanted came
along and very neatly dropped into
the sheriff's ambush. Not positive of
their guilt the officer by strategic
methods finally accomplished a divul-
aon and they were then closely
guarded until the following morning
when they were brought to this city
and confined in county Jail.
Mr.. Miller, owner of the team at
Boscobel, offered a reward of S25 for
capture of the thieves and return of
his team. and the county added $40
additional. Sheriff Dickinson refused
to accept the county reward, and gen
erously divided Mr.. Miler's fund be-
tween his two assistants at Wyalu-
sing.
