Perhaps no order ever issued by an
executive department has produced the
CONSERVATION incident upon the rul-
ing of Postmaster General Payne to
the effect that women in the service
may not marry; losing their position
in case they do. Il is said that many
weddings on tapis have been indefi-
nitely declared off and one separation
has occurred. The latter was case
of man who was drawing 81, 800 and
his wife $l,400. The wife informed
the postmaster general thet she and
her husband had separated; that each
party had in fact spent the money
received by them in the past; they
were not particularly congenial,
anyway, and rather than lose the
salary had concluded to each go i,
alone. OF course in a case of this
kind the postmaster general has notn
ing to say.

VIM. Owen Not at His Best.

The presentation of 'The School

company at the Grand last Thursday
evening attracted only small
audience. Mr.. Owen, Mr. Mcconnell
and Miss Reynolds are perhaps the
most popular theatrical trio that
visits Decorah regularly, bnt this play
does not appear to be especially adapt
ed to their style of acting, and did
not give the satisfaction generally
had by their performances. The COM
pany is much better in Shakespearean
roles. through which they have attain
ed considerable prominence.

The record shows only one error fol

mail and "a. 600, 900 packages. During
the year nine clerks were killed, 81
seriously and 500 slightly injured.
The appropriation this year makes
provision for such causalities. Tht

The annual report of the state rail
way commission for the year ending
June 80, 1902, has been filed with the
governor 1t shows a large increase
in the gross and net earnings of the
roads in Iowa. The gross earnings
increased from $54, 764, ,635. 80 in 1901
to $50, 106, 101. Al. The net earnings
increased from $17, ,Sl4, ,664. So in 1901
to $40, ,266, 1896. SO in 1902. The net
earnings a mile increased from 81 ,S51.
06 in 1901 to $2,O03 9S in 1902. The
mileage also increased from 1858 in
1901 to 9,614 in 1909. Altogether the
year ending June 80, 1902 was. one OF
unexampled prosperity, the gross and
the net earnings of the roads being
greater than in any previous year,
One of the noteworthy things about
the report to the railroad commits
sioners is that it shows the gross earn
ings for the year ending June 80, 1909
were over three millions greater thar
the gross earnings reported to the ex
ecutive council for taxation purpose
for the year ending Dec. 81, 1901
The not earnings mile reported t
the council were also but l,766
against net earnings a mile Of 81, ,00S.
SO, reported to the railroad commits
sioners. While the reports cannot b
condemned as inaccurate in eithe
case, it is regarded as somewhat re
markable that in years ending bat si
months apart there should be so larg
an increase in the net earnings
mile. Decreased compensation to EN-
ployes is shown by the report.

DREDGING CONTRACT SIGNED.
Work in Outer HarbOr VIII Be Com
menced shortly.

A contract for the work in the lower
part of the harbor from Fort Ogle-
thorpe to quarantine station has been
signed by P. Sanford Ross and Capt.
CassiuS E. Gillette and sent on to the
chief of engineers of the United States
army. A notification of the approval
of this contract is expected every day.
AS soon as this notice is received
the work of deepening the harbOr will
be commenced. The plans and speci-
fications stipulate that the work must
be commenced within sixty days after
the approval of the contract by the
United States engineer, but as much
of the machinery of the contractors is
already here, it is probable that the
work will start at once.
The other contra cts, for the dredging
in the upper harbOr and the work to
be done in the Brunswick harbor,
which are to be entered into by the
Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Company of
New York and the Morris and Cum
mings Dredging Company, respectively,
have not yet been drawn up, but it is
thought that these will be prepared
within a few days. Each contractor
is required to give a bond of 100000,
conditioned upon the faithful perform
ance of his contract.
The work which will in few days
be begun by the p. Sanford Company
viii involve the expenditure of nearly
100000 dollars by the govern
ment, the other dredging bringing the
amount up to something less than a
$1,000, 600 dollars. The work to
be done by the Ross Company is the
dredging Of q channel Is feet deep at
mean high water, $50 feet wide in the
straight stretches. and from $50 to 500
feet wide in the bends. from Fort
OglethOrpe to Fort Pulaski
The work also includes the removal
of portion of the oyster lump on the
south side of Tybee Knoll channel, be-
tween the jetties, one and a quarter
miles below Fort Pulaski, it being in
tended to dredge to u feet, at low wa
ter, to within 100 feet of the Cockspur
Island training wall The contract con-
templates the removal of about 100000
cubic yards of earth.
The contract for the work in the up
per harbor. which will be signed in a
few days, contemplates the removal of
nearly 3,250,000 cubic yards. The Ross
Company will be required to dredge at
least 100000 cubic yards for the first
two months after the commencement
of the work. and thereafter the pro-
gress must be at least $4,000 cubic
yards, until the contract is completed.
All work is to be done under the su-
pervision Of Capt. Gillette, the captain
of engineers.

GATHERING OF NAVAL STORES
EXPORTERS IN NEW YORK.

In naval stores circles much interest
centers in the absence in New York of
several large exporters. Their going is
not attributed altogether to coinci-
dence by Others of the trade here. If
there is any move on foot the pro-
moters have certainly kept their plans
well to themselves.
Among those away are S. P. Shotter,
president of the S. p. Shooter Co, t.
F. Cooper Myers, vice president of the
company. II. Weibert Of the Antwerp
Naval Stores Co, and James Earle.
Jr. 1t is reported that Herr Speth, of
the Antwerp Company, is in New York
from Antwerp, and that Mr. Knight
of Nickoil & Knight of London is also
there. The presence of these gentlemen
may account for that of Mr.. Weibert
and Mr.. Earle, who represent these in
terests.
The talk incident to the simultaneous
absence of all these exporters points
to nothing definite. The coincidence
has merely caused inquiry among the
trade.

SUWANNEE SPRINGS FIRE.
Only Main Hotel Building Was
Burned.

burned.
No particulars could be learned here
yesterday of the destruction of the
main building of the Suwanee Springs
Hotel property Thursday night.
1t is known that only the main build
ing was destroyed, as was stated in
the dispatches in yesterdays Morning
News. The other buildings, consisting
of Rock Cottage, eighteen smaller cot
tages, the altering and bottling plant
and out buildings are intact. The main
building contained the Office, dining
room, parlor, writing, pool and billiard
rooms on the ground floor and seventy
five bedrooms on the upper floors.
Mr.. Andrew Hanley of Savannah, the
principal stakeholder and president of
the Suwanee Springs Company, is at
the springs, but nothing beyond a short
telegram. stating that only the main
building had burned was received from
himas the telegraph and telephone sta
lions were destroyed with the build
ing, and no other stations are within
several miles of the place.
The springs are far-famed for the
medicinal properties of their waters,
and many Savannahians, as well as
tourists from all over the country, go
there yearly for their health, also to
spend their vacations and enjoy the
natural advantages of the surrounding
country.
Mr.. T. J. Dinkins of the Andrew
Hanley Company of this city and a
director of the Suwanee Springs Com
pany, said yesterday that as the fill
tering and bottling plant had not been
destroyed the water would be bottled
and shipped a. usual.
1t could not be learned just how
much insurance is carried by the COM
pany, nor at how much the building
was valued, but it is stated the COM
pany will suffer a loss. 1t is believed
that Savannah agencies carry all the
insura nce, of which Train & Harty
carry approximately $25,OO0. Mr. An
drew Hanley, Jr., left last night for the
springs.
