POSTOFFICE BUSINESS.
The Receipts for the Year VIII
Amount to S52S.O 600.

If the receipts of the postofice to-day
amount to 81 $40 the office will pass into
the $4,000 class" This means that the
postmaster's salary will be increased $1,000
year, that the other attaches will ad-
vance to a higher class and that the office
will be justified in asking for more clerks
and carriers The fiscal year ends with
this month. and il is estimated that then
the receipts of the year will have been $685.
600 The receipts yesterday were $500.
The increase this year has been not less
than $4,000. Last spring a newspaper, in
the hope of advancing the office to a high
er class, doomed the stamp sales, and bust
ness men anticipated their purchases. This
of course hurt the business of the year be-
ginning last April l.

Justice would compensate the injury or
loss sustained for the benefit of the suf-
ferer, or, in cases of death, for the next
of kin of those who were killed
It is accompanied by Il petition signed
by Mrs. Mary C. Blandin, widow of Lieu
tenant BIandin: by Harry S. Mccain and
Charles Adams, for themselves and 9TH
ers. and sets forth extracts from the
opinion of the majority OF the Spanish
Treaty Claims Commission sustaining the
demurrers. ..s ...-,
One Of the extracts quoted from the
opinion of the majority OF the commits
sion, after saying that the injury to the
sailor is merged in the wrong done to
his Government and explaining the view
of the commission is:
''TIe (the sailor has yielded the priv
ilege of making any personal nemand
upon a foreign Government for money in
demnity for an injury to him for which
the Government is liable. He has ac-
quired the privilege of having his per-
sonal injuries made an incident of his
nations claim against the Government re
sponsible for the wrong done him, and
he rests secure in the certainty that his
Government will recognize his Injuries
and recompense the wrong in full and
liberal measure,
Again the petition quoted from the
opinion:
''Nor does the commission undertake
to say that the United States has fully
discharged its obligations to the sur
vivors of the Maine catastrophe and to
the families of the lamented dead"
The petition goes on to say:
''The United States has, by act OF Con
gross, frequently compensated persons not
guilty of contributory negligence for in
juries received by them while in its en-
ploy. 1t did this in The case Of the Ford
Theatre disaster, where compensation
was made in some twenty eight in

not resulting in death. in some one hun

Very Remarkable Cure of Dlarrhoea.

long years l have suffered more mis-
cry and agony than L can tell. 1t
was worse than death. My husband
spent hundreds of dollars for physi-

Finally we moved to Bosque county,
our present home, and one day l hap
pened to see an advertisement of
ChamberIain's Collie, Cholera and Di-

of man who had been cured by it..

sympathy for England.

In the recent disaster at st. Vim
cent the United States was among
the first to extend sympathy. to Eng
land and also to offer assistance to
the fortunate survivors. Giving sym
pathy is a very appropriate way of
showing our feelings for those in dis
tress, but the person who is unable
to eat or sleep on account of a weak
or disordered stomach needs more
than sympathy. He wants a medi-
cine that will cure him. Then Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is needed,
because it positively cures loss of APP
petite, belching, flatulency, indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, insomnia or nervous
ness. Every sufferer should there
fore try bottle of it at once. Good
health is sure to follow. Don't ac-
cept a substitute. The genuine has
