RURAL FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
House of Representatives Takes Meas.
ure Under Consideration.

ure Under Consideration.
Washington, March 3.-Under the
order made last week the house today
went into committee of the whole and
entered on consideration of the bill
to classify the rural free delivery SER
vice and substitute the contract for
the salary system for rural carriers.
1t was arranged that general debate
should be equally divided between the
friends and opponents of the measure
and Mr.. Loud, Of California, should
control the time in favor and Mr.
Swanson, of Virginia, against the bill
The former in opening the debate de-
clared that in his opinion upon the So
luton of the questions involved would
depend whether the rural free mail de-
livery service would cost ultimately
sixty or twenty million dollars per an
mum.
The rural free delivery service up
to this time, he said, had been a po-
litical one, and it had given many
members of congress their first taste
of the sweets of public patronage.
He said the service was the most
extravagant in the public service At
the inception the carriers received $500
per annum. Now they received $780,
If the salary system was continued
they would soon receive $500 or $780,
At the present time $850,000 was being
spent for the supervisory force. The
bill was carefully drawn, Mr.. Loud
said, to provide against the possibility
of a recurrence of the star route scan
dals. Only one contract could be given
to one man. who must live in the dis
trict where the route was located and
who must perform the service himself.

SLAUGHTER OF INNocENTs.
Birmingham Excited Over Mysterious
Murder of Infants.

Murder or Infants
Birmingham, Ala, March 3.-The
county authorities here have a very
disagreeable problem to deal with and
have called on the governor for as.
sistance in their dilemma.
Within two months the dead bodies
of nine children have been found near
Birmingham. Saturday the body of
pretty, chubby white boy baby was
found in North Birmingham park. He
was apparently about 10 days old and
there seems to be no doubt about his
having been murdered, as his little
skull was crushed in two places. His
body was in common wicker basket
and there was nothing about his cloth
ing by which he could be identified.
The governor has been asked by the
authorities here to offer a substantial
reward for his murderer.

which protects the town in the form

WITH COURT HOUSE

Without any warning whatever, but with a premonition nevertheless, that something is radically wrong with the inside workings of that county hostelry in one way or another, a bolt of lightning yesterday hit the court house full ans. fair in the face, There was no damage done, however. and had it not been for the precau- tion taken of providing lightning rods some years ago, it is speculation over what might have happened. No rain preceded or followed the shock, and occurring as it did on the holy of all days, it occasions the be- lief in these days of troubuIous polit- ical times, that gives republicans an etherial tip to place good men before the people, and is also an omen that as the democrats have finished their job, ii may meet with the approval of machine sentiments, but the great engIneer above is yet the master of earthly fates, and is acting in a strenuous manner to right something that must be " fierce" below.
 We are glad that no serious dam age has been done this remarkable political haven of the democrats, and that its magnetism is now relieved of that charm that that party has had a "cinch on for So long.

OFFICIALLY DEAD FOR TEN YEARS
An Incident of Governor 5rodIe'S MiIi.
 tary Record.

Governor Brodie has the unique distinction of having been officially dead for ten years. On the military records at West Point he was marked deceased from 1890 to 1900. It came about through an accident that took place in this valley ten years ago. A report reached West Point that Governor Brodie had been killed. and the writing of his obituary was as signed to a classmate. The class mate called upon another for assis- tance in preparing the data, and the latter wrote to the governor request ing that he write bis own obituary. The governor treated the matter in the light of a joke, and allowed it to pass from his mind. Several years after he learned that as far as the military records went he was dead. When Governor Brodie went east to start for Cuba, and began helping to put down the enemy, he looked over the records and paid five dollars to have a transcript made of his death notice. At the same time he had the record made to read that be was still alive.-Republican.
