WASHINGTON, Aug. e.-(special TeIe-
gram)-senator Willard, accompanied By
Assistant Postmaster James Woodland Of
Omaha, had a conference with Assistant
Postmaster General ~shalienberger today
In relation to securing better service IN
the handling Of mails between the railroad
stations and the city postofnce. There hes
been a great deal OF complaint recently
over the slipshod manner IN which thu
mails have been handled and Il has been
deemed advisable to ask relief at the
hands OF the Postomce department. I'm
der the present arrangements mail vans
used In transporting mails from railroad
terminals to the city postonce would be a
disgrace to a city half the size OF Omaha
and instead Of mails being handled expe-
ditiously they are delayed ln-franslt and
consequently their local delivery IL slow.
making It impossible for an answer to 90
out on the same date. II was suggested
by the gentlemen who called on Mr.. Shall
lenbereer today that the street car COM
pany would build stubs from their main
tracks to the Union n Burlington sta
lions II the Postofice department would
put on mail cars. General s~hallenberger
stated that while he would like to see THE
Improvement made, he felt tina Il would
P" nAN ~ tUU kItML an faX~
pense for cars necessary TO meet the de-
mand- He stated. however, that he would
take up the question OF lettering the local
service between the stations and the city
postoflee n II necessary would recon
mend cancellation OF the present contract
and ask for new bids with a view OF meet
ing the demand OF the people Of Omaha.
Senator and Miss Willard left for Chi
cage this afternoon. After amending . dav
In that city they viii go on to their home
In Omaha. Before leaving the senator
stated that hts VISIT to Washington had
not been productive OF any great amount
o. good for his constituency In view Of the
absence Of so many heads Of departments
on their vacation. He intimated taAt Nd
would probably have to return 10 wash
ington within a short time in order 70 take
up some minor matters pending in the de-
partments.

"A Scrap of Paper"

a full house greeted the presentation
Of the drama, last evening, given under
the auspices OF the High School Alumni
Association. When the curtain went
up on the first act nearly all of the
seats We're taken and the audience
We're in just the mood for what was to
follow. The cast as published "a short
time ago was fully competent to
handle the somewhat difficult piece and
they did full justice. W. G. Atkins
who had the lead, was in his element,
and his conception of the character
was fine, and MS stage appearance
was Of the best. Herbert Douglass, as
the Baron, was completely at home in
his part, and sustained it well to the
end. Frank Wad5worth had the part
OF the landlord and naturalist. viii
Pierce, as Anatolle, (Brisemonche's
Ward). was exceptionally good and the
difficult character was ably handled by
him. Prof. Powers made good i'm
preston as the butler and servant. Mrs.
Lucrctia Tyler as Susanna de Rus
seville, was all that could be desired
and all of her difficult scenes were car
riei out very successfully. Mrs. Fred
Drake as Madame de Ia Glaciere, was
fine and in her emotional work, as i'll
the other, was at her best. Miss
Rachael Moulton was an ideal Matilde
and throughout the play sustained her
first good impression. Miss Alice Rich
ards was perfectly at ease in the
character of Zenobie, and the
character assumed by her was
one of the prominent ones of
the piece. The part of Nine. Dupont
was given true to the character by Miss
Sarah Jewett, AMI the dignity attend
ant upon the part made it very ac-
ceptable. Miss Cassie Young in the
maid servant part, as Pauline, caught
the audience from the first and was
during the entire play among the first
in the cast. Taken together the pre-
sentation was among the best and
most elaborate of any local affair of its
class. The stage settings were n
change from the usual settings of q
local piece. and this taken with the
other fine features united in making a
most acceptable performance. Miss
Shepard. under whom the piece was
worked up to its high state of excel
lency. is deserving of great credit and
her success made itself known in the
smoothness and ease with which the

The Republican caucus held in City
hall. Thursday evening, was in all re-
spccts Il record breaker. An atmosphere
of refreshing vitality was emphatically
noticeable from the beginning and as
the situation developed the contest
WaXed exceedingly warm.
The caucus was formally called to
order by u. X. Jewell of the Republi-
can city committee. and ]. w. Fuller
ana John Il. Gould We're appointed
chairman and secretary respectively.
II. p. Clearwater offered q list of del
egates for the consideration of the eau
Gus. He explained that although the
delegation if elected would go TO thu
Augusta convention without specific in
structions. it was to be understood
that they were i'll favor of the re-elec-
ton of Andrew L. McFadden to the
office of sheriff. The delegation fol-
lows:
lcgates-Frank I<ittredge. F. B.
Wood. c. II. Dudley. George +. Sim
mons. George F. Church, William Fitz-

Mr. Stinson made an appeal for con
sideration of the matter in contest from
a HallowelI point of view. He was in
favor of the election of a delegation
which could go to the convention I'M
pledged; delegation empowered to vote
inteligently and considerably for the
best man. While not to be pledged or in
structed in any way. the delegation could
be considered as opposed to the election
of McFadden.
The city committee was appointed a
committee to receive, sort and count votes
