The East Exchange Street S te.

Dispatches from Washington Tuesday
night announced that the treasury de-
partment had selected the East Ex-
change street site for the post Office
building in Owosso No official news
to that effect has yet been received by
Postmaster Dewey, nor has he received
any other information concerning the
matter than that contained in the dis
patches to the daily papers of the coun-
try There seems little reason to doubt
the correctness of the report, however.
The announcement caused considera-
bic surprise on the part of many people
who had favored some one of the other
sites, and who had supposed from some
reason or other that there was no likeli-
hood of this one being chosen, but
satisfaction was generally expressed
after the surprise and it is quite gen
orally conceded that the site chosen was
at least the second choice of more peo-
pie than all the other sites put together
could have mustered. In fact when
Special Agent Field was in the city he
casually inquired of many of the parti-
sans of the other sites as to their second
choice and the greater per cent of those
who named any location as their second
choice mentioned the East Exchange
street site. The location is in full view
of Washington street at the intersec-
ton with Exchange 1t is on broad
paved street, in close proximity to the
oldest established business houses in the
city and the grounds themselves need
no filing in to make them ready for the
building. The choice is a good one.

Additional Mail Service.

Orders have been received by Post
master Dewey making an allowance for
horse hire for another of the city car
riers. A great improvement in the
service, especially in that given to the
west side business men and the facto-
ries will thereby become possible at once.
The new order goes into effect Tuesday.
Carrier w. G. Eggleston has been des-
ignated for the new work
The new mounted carrier will serve
the factories and the west side business
places, also the business places ON the
east side south of Comstock street 1t
is expected that five deliveries will be
made, the same number which the
down town business districts now re-
ceive The down town business district
will be reduced slightly in size by p T.
tions served by the mounted carrier,
but service will be given five times a
day on it as heretofore
Various other changes will neces-
sal'ily be made in the residence districts.
The present mounted carrier, being re-
lieved of the factory and west side
business deliveries, will be able to take
more of the territory on the outskirts of
the city and to make two full deliveries
each day. The remainder of the resi-
dence portion of the city which will be
left in more compact form will be
served by the four remaining carriers,
the different parts of the city being
served for the greater part by the same
carriers who now serve them. The
changes will make it possible to give
the service to a number. of families not
now served. This improvement is made
possible by the work of Congressman
Fordney.

Screen Door s. Window Co.

The Screen Door & Window Com
pany, Limited, was organized Friday
afternoon at the Citizens Savings Bank
with the following officers, who are of
course stockholders: President, G. W.
Detwiler; treasurer, l. II. Keeler; secre-
tary, j. II. Laverock manager, John
Laverock. The balance of the stock
holders are Arthur Laverock, H. c..
Frieseke, A. E. Shannon, F. w. Pearce,
and w. W. Palmer. The company in
corporates at $1,000 OOO. of which $37, 500
is now paid in.
The new corporation-the articles
We're filed with County Clerk Martin on
Saturday-takes the business of the
Laverock Screen Door d Window Co.,
at present located at the corner of
Water and Exchange streets. The fac
tory was founded four years ago by
John and Arthur Laverock, and has
doubled its business each year, far out
growing its quarters.
In the spring the Stever car oiler
building on South Shiawassee street
will be remodeled and repaired and the
machinery will be moved in. The COM
pany has deed of the property, which
is to be used this winter as a stock
room.
There is no reason why the new ven
ture should not be entirely a success, as
there is an ever widening field for
screen doors and windows, and the
company is officered and backed by con-
servative and experienced business men.

MOB SOUGHT TO
LYNCH BRUTE.

Pine Bluff, July 2.-Dan Kidd, a young negro man, is badly wanted in Pine Bluff, and if captured hereabouts within the next several days it is hardly probable that he will escape being lynched. Some days since Kidd, an employe at the mill of James w. Sanders, formerly Frank J. Murray's plant, assaulted MT. Murray's five year old daughter. An examination and investigation yesterday revealed Kidd's criminality and MT. Murray yesterday called Kidd into the office of the mill and accused him of the crime.
 Kidd is alleged to have admitted his guilt, whereupon Murray attacked him. The difficulty attracted the attention of men near by and they, knowing nothing of Kidd's misdeed, separated the two, Kidd fleeing be- fore MT. Murray could explain. Last night thorough search was made for Kidd, but it was fruitless Officers and posse are still in search and Kidd may be captured tonight.
 It developed tonight that Kidd was captured west of the city after dark and taken to Little Rock by Sheriff Mccoy for safe keeping
