NEW POSTAL RULE IN EFFECT.

The new rule of the postoffice de
partment restricting second class
matter has begun to take effect and
il is expected that il will be In full
operation before the end of this month
As the department looks TO this reg
ulation TO do much toward wiping out
the annual deficit. its working Will De
watched with considerable interest by
the more observant part OF the public.
These rules may be grouped broad.
ly under three heads First, a prohi-
bition upon the return OF unsolG
copies OF periodicals at pound rates,
either by news agents TO publishers
or by one news agent TO another, sec
ond the exclusion OF anything which .s
properly a book from the privileges
extended to periodicals. no matter
whether the book appears under the
guise OF a serial publication or not
and third. the exclusion Of periodicals.
which depend for their subscription
list not upon their merits as purycy-
ors OF news and literature. but upos
the offer OF various premiums"
The prohibition upon the return Of
unsold periodicals became effective
oct. /; but the other provisions Z ;iie
new regulations will come into opera
tion gradually. Naturally some time
must elapse before il will be possible
to determine what effect the new it'le
Is TO have on the receipts OF the ie-
partment. In several cases publica-
tions now enjoying the pound rate
may suspend while others not unlike
~ will continue 10 use the mails az
the increased rate OF $ cents a pound.
But in any event there would be a
saving. The government now loses
and has been losing every year by
these publications as second class
matter. so that even we're they taken
out OF the mails entirely the depart
ment would gain.
The reform will move slowly. and il
may take several months 70 get il in
20 smooth running order. But the
step is in the right direction and will
encourage the hope that many other
such steps toward economy and more,
rational management may be made,
and that in time the conduct OF the
postofice department may compare
favorably with that Of any large pri-
vate industrial or mercantile establish
ment in the country.

The following case is but one of
many similar occurring daily in Rock
Island. 1t is an easy matter to verify
its correctness. Surely you cannot
ask for better proof than such con-
elusive evidence.
Patrick Rooney, bricklayer, says:
Taken with a soreness across my loins
and other evidence of kidney complaint
went TO a physician, who treated
me at intervals for three years. Re-
ceiving little If any benefit resorted
to advertised sure-cures, but the
trouble resisted all my efforts, the in
tense pain in the small of my back
and limited control over the kidney
secretions being always in evidence.
Learning of Doan's Kidney Pills /
procured a box at the Harper house
drug store. Ii that one box had not
helped me / never would have fol.
lowed up the treatment and bought
five more. 1 have been exposed tC

success Of Kicks was grounded upon
the fact that the season IS three or
four weeks delayed in his district and
that the farmers would trust TO the
traditional democratic majority in
the district and fail to vote.
Against this contingency the var
ious county committees in the
district, strongly supported by Chair
man Hopkins and the state commit
tee, have been working necessarily for
several weeks. 1t was difficult to adj
vertise the date of the election among
the rural voters. as the constitutional
time for a supreme judicial election
is the first Monday in June.
This was special election, called
by Gov. Yates for the purpose of Sc
Letting a successor to the late Justice
PDillips. Phillips was reelected in
1897. and therefore Mr. Kicks will
serve the unexpired term, five years
He will take his place on the bench as
soon as the election certificates are
filed by the various county clerks
with the secretary of state.
