CHANGE MAIL PLANS.
East Dickinson Has q Discontinuance
of Star Routes.

The postofiice department has noti'
fed the postmasters at Chapman and
Rinehart that the star route between
those two offices will be discontinued
on the Slst day Of July and the rural
route changed so that the carrier will
supply that office with locked
pouch. Instead Of going south at
the Betz corner as heretofore, he will
90 east one mile, then south one mile
to Rinehart, then west to the old
route at S. M. Hassler's corner.
The order does not discontinue the
Rinehart office as some think it does,
but simply does away with the star
routes and transfers the locked pouch
to the rural carrier who will deliver
and collect the mail in the usual
manner.
The postoflice department has also
ordered that Chapman be the distri'
buting point for Sutphen beginning
the Slst Of July. This will be an ad-
vantage to the patrons Of the Sutphen
office as it is not nearly so far to
carry the mail as to junction City or
Aida, the present distributing points.

Tho Speaker Surprised to Hear the Re-
port That the Millers Have Grlev-
snce Against Him.

Dubuque, Ia, July 2o.--Speaker
Henderson, in an interview yesterday
on the report about the National
Millers' federatlon's grievance against
him on the ground that he prevented
the passage Of the London dock bill,
said:
81 had not heard anything OF 1t tn
til Saturday last, when first saw an
article on the subject. | was great
ly surprised to see anything of the
kind from the millers, whose friend
have been all the time, and | tried
to get their bill through. l gave
them the floor once and let 1t come
up the second time. but members in
charge Of the measure wanted 1t
passed over, as they hoped for
compromise between friends and
enemies of the bill. This was twice
that the bills friends had an oppor-
tunity. Later proposed again to
have the bill called up by calling
upon the committees, but Mr.. Taw-
ney, author of the bill, was absent
that day and other friends Of the
measure were unwilling TO have II
come up in his absence, 30 that is
three times that the bill practically
had Its day in court, and for the rea-
sons named failed to be disposed Of,
but in no instance was 1t any fault
Of mine. The bill is just one and
ought to pass, and l have no doubt
1t will pass at the short session Of
congress. fear there has been very
thoughtless misrepresentation about
this matter, for it Is not usual for
men to attack their loyal friends"

Who Is E. P. Willets3

Topeka Capital: 1t has developed
that the arrest Of Nancy Monroe and
Page Hawkins of north Topeka on
the charge of adultery was possibly
spite work. The complaining wit
ness who swore out the warrant was
y. P. Willets and Mrs Monroe's story
of the affair is that Willets wanted to
marry her. To prove these state
ments she has exhibited several let
ters which were received by her from
Willets. The letters are particularly
endearing Mrs. Monroe was en-
ployed as Hawkins housekeeper and
refused to 90 with Willets to Abilene
and she asserts that it is on that &C.
count that he swore out the warrant
against her and her employer.

TIE FLOODS In TEXAS,


Dallas, Tex, July 2s.-Flood con-
ditions in Texas are improving. At
Waco the Brazos river began falling
at II o'clock Saturday night and the
observation last night showed de-
cline of five feet. This was suffi-
cient to bring the river back within
its banks. II the river continues to
fall, as is expected, the repairs to
railroads will be sufficiently prog
ressed to allow trains to run on time
to-day.

nYER's GOOD ADVICE.
He Tells School Boards That 1t Pays
10 Fix Up.

County Supt. Dyer has issued a
circular letter to school board mem
bers in preparation for the annual
meeting Thursday. 1t contains this
excellent advice:
ut will be good economy to see
that the building is put in irst'class
shape before the beginning Of the
term. Loose windows, and doors
partly eff the hinges, aud warped and
sagged by age, are not only "a source
Of annoyance to the teacher, AMI dan
gerous to :he health OF the pupils but
also extravagant consumers Of fuel as
well. Pupils are more obedient and
teachers are more energetic in bright
cheerful school room, than in dark
and dingy one. II your walls are
covered with SCOT, dust, and cobwebs
Of years past, can you not brighten
them with good coat OF calcimine
or with some bright and artistically
tinted wall paper9 The school should
be provided with a good water pail,
cups, wash basin, towels, looking
glass and comb. 1t is poor economy
and demoraliziug to the pupils to
have q coal house that cannot be
locked up. During the past year |
have observed some school grounds
which seemed to have a half q ton OF
coal scattered over the play ground.
This indicated poor condition Of ai-
fairs. May especially urge that the
out.buildings be placed in sanitary
condition. II the out.buildings are
too small or badly wrecked by the
storms Of the past, tear them down
and build new ones sufficiently large
and amply strong to meet all re.
quirements.

II two men get to fighting in the street
the State has the right to step in and
separate them. The trouble may be a
purely personal one between the men
but they are disturbing the pnblic peace
and are thus subject to arrest and pun
ishment. How, then. is IL then that
two sets of men can engage in whole.
sale war which not only disturbs the
peace but interferes with the business Of
the entire country and menaces the
whole people with loss, discomfort,
bodily ills. and sufferings through the
shutting off OF the supply Of such uni.

AT the Presidents invitation Mitchell,
the leader of the coal strike, and several
of the chief operators met in Washing.
ton on Friday, the 3D. inst, to consult
with a view 20 settling the differences
between them. The operators proved
deaf to the Presidents appeal TO their
patriotism, and while Mitchell expressed
a Willingness 10 abide by the decision Of
arbitrators TO be selected by Roosevelt
(Mitchells suggestion), yet he was not
willing to yield any point in dispute.
Failure to accomplish the desired result
is the outcome. The situation has
grown critical because OF the almost
total exhaustion Of the coal supply in
the cities, and what little is left is be-
yond the reach of all but those in good
circumstances. Even the latter will be
unable TO procure fuel after the last of
next week. Fortunately the weather
has as yet been moderate, but the re-
suits, should the strike continue, will be
appalling.

This table shows that the state tax in

about % per cent less than last year
In 1901 the equalized valuation Of
Gratiot county was raised from $40, COO,
900 90 sl5,000,0O0 or more than 90 per
cent. This means corresponding in
crease in the apportionment TO Gratiot
county. A little figuring will show
that reckoned on the basis of go, 900, 900
valuation, the percentage Of tax for 1902,
is less than that Of 1900, 1899, and pro-
badly less than any year since 1894 ex-
