Extension of the Great Western Into
Council Bluffs.
Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Nov 4-The Great
Western railroad has arrived. 1t came
early last week when hustlng gang
of men threw off temporary trestles and
grades and a narrow double line of rails
followed after. The feeble toot of the
Hall Construction Company engine now
echoes thru the southern part of the
city and the railroad does it's part nobly
IN making street car traffic on South
Main street difficult and tedious pro-
cess.
\ Enc track Is a narrow gauge one, to
be sure, and as crooked as rail fence,
and the engines only weigh little
more than a fat Iowa steer But the
railroad is here, and it is now only a
question of weeks before the eighty
pound rails go down and the 100-ton
engines replace the little narrow gauge
tooters. Like other good things, the
railroad is bound to grow.
The contractors are now on the home
stretch of the extension. The big cuts
and fills along the line are finished, and
the graders are rapidly pushing into
and thru Council Bluffs. The right of
way in the city, which so far has been
marked chiefly by yawning cellars and
general destruction, is rapidly taking
on the semblance of railroad.

MURDER AT ADAlR.
Local Officials Completely Puzzled b,
Case Of w. D. Schenck.

| Local Officials Completely Puzzled BY
| Case of w. D. Schenck.
Adair Nov. a. Local officers are
| completely baffied by a strange murder
| w. d. Schenck was found dead near the
| front gate at his ho,ne in this city
early Saturday morning. He had a bull
let hole in his head and near him on
the ground lay a revolver, In one cham
Der of which was cartridge, which had
been discharged.
The circumstances surrounding the
death of the man are rather mysterious
He was a constable in Adair township
and Friday night was appointed as one
OF the special police to patrol the streets
on account of anticipated depredations
by Halloween parties. He left home
shortly after supper time and the last
seen of him alive was about 8 o'clock
Friday night.
When found his clothes were covered
with mud and his umbrella was found
fully two blocks from where his body
was found. He had evidently been dead
for some hours as his limbs were sti.f
and rigid.
One thing that leads to the murder
theory and discounts any lneoTy oi SUI
eide is that when he left home he was
known to have some money, severa,
dollars, in fact, and when found there
was not cerN in his pockets. Then.
too, his umbrella being found so far
from where the body was found, lends
color to the theory.
Mr.. Schenck was man about 30
years of age and was of good habits.
He was laboring man and by indus
try and economy had laid up sufficient
money to buy a home where his wife
and three children live.
Nothing of interest was developed at
the coroner's inquest and the verdict
returned was that the deceased came to
his death by a gunshot wound in the
head, but the responsibility for the
death was not fixed. and 1t is said there
will be thorough investigation.

Farmers Can Get Their Sunday
Mail by Calling at Post
office
PosTMAsTERs MUST HANDIT OUT
Rural Carriers Will Not Deliver Sum
day Morning Papers and Mail Till
Monday, But Farmers Going to
Church Can Call for Their Mail at
the Postoffice.
Special to Times-Republican.

| Washington, Nov. 4.-The acting gen.
eral superintendent Of the free rural
system has handed down a decision
which will be Of interest to all people
living on the free rural routes. Here
tofore the patrons Of the rural routes
We're unable to secure their mail which
arrived after the carriers left the post
office on Saturday until the delivery
Monday morning. Recently. patrons
living on the routes out Of Charleston,
ILL.,, called at the postof1ice on Sunday
would have to wait till Monday for
the same if it was not delivered at the
window. The postmaster said it was
not his business to deliver rural mail
at the window of the postoffice.
The matter, however, was taken up
by the patrons of the rural routes, and
the superintendent of the system ans
wered the complaint thus:
when the patrons Of rural routes
call at the postoffice for their mail
during the hours the postofnces are
regularly open to the public for trans
action of business it should be de-
livered to them. Patrons are not re-
quired to rent boxes in order to secure
this service"
The ruling will have the effect of
notifying all postmasters of their duty
toward rural route patrons, and 1t ap-
plies to all postofhces in the country.
Should the above ruling be made an
official one, as no doubt it will, it will
be of great convenience to patrons who
live on rural routes and who come
to town Sunday to attend church. This
will enable them to get their Sunday
morning papers and other mail popu-
larizing this service. Gradually the
man on the farm, with rural route,
telephones and delivery wagons pass
ing and calling every day, will soon be
a king unto himself on his possessions.
