THE RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
The People Appreciate Its Advantageous
courthouse.

The rural free mail delivery routes
which are now in operation through the
county surrounding the city are meeting
with the approval Of the people and have
proven. a great convenience and help. The
laws governing the rural service require
each carrier to carry with him stamps,
money order blanks, registered letter
receipts, and, in fact, be prepared to serve
the people at their doors just as promptly
and safely as they could be at the post
office windows. In other words, the car
rier is a sort of walking postoffice, and
org other things carries a cancella-
ton stamp, which he uses to cancel
stamps upon letters to be delivered on
his route One neighbor can write to
another and the letter will be delivered
without it's going through a postoftlce.
These advantages the people are appre-
ciating.
In honor of the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Mckinley yesterday the Stars and

BOARD
MEETS NEXT WEEK
It is Hoped That at That Time the
Guarantee Fund May be
in Sight.

The Board of Directors of the Carnl-
val Association will meet at the rooms
of the Il. p. A one week from tonight
in regular session II is hoped that at
! that time the subscriptions to the guar
antec fund of $4,000 will be of such pro-
portion as to warrant the association in
going ahead with arrangements looking
to u greater success than even that OF
last year.
The Subscription Committees are still
hard at work, and it is thought at car
niyal headquarters that a good sum will
have been subscribed by the end Of this
week.
In the meantime the Carnival Club is
pushing ahead. a large order for hand
some little buttons has been given, and
in a day or two club boxes will be dis
trbuted among the clubs, hotels. anu
newspa per offices. in which all who de-
sire to join may do so by inscrib:nS their
names on a card and dropping twenty
five cents each in the box Each mem
Der is entitled to one of the club put
tons, which in itself will prove quite
souvenir.
Mr. Isaac Held, treasurer of the club.
has q large number of names already
on hand. and one person has sisnifed
his intention of securing 100 of the but
tons as soon as they come, to send TO
his friends in the country.
The funds derived through the CLUB VIII
be turned over to the treasurer OF the
Carnival Association at stated intervals.
Those who desire to join the club may
so signify by sending a postal card to
Mr. Held, at the City Hall. and when
the buttons arrive the subscribers will
be sent one.
There are universal expressions OF en-
coura cement in the movement looking to
a successful carnival, and the only wish
is that those who are to be most bene-
fitted would not be slow in placing their
names on the subscription lists.
