Postmaster Trevitt haS made another
change in the Sunday delivery system
of the Wausau post office. Hereafter
three carriers wiR be allowed 10 enjoy
their Sunday afternoons at home, while
four do the work at the office. They
change about each Sunday, one man
handling the mail of the business sec
ton of town Fred Becker's route,
while each of the other three will have
the mail of two tables to look after
The plan will be little awkward to
them at first, but meets with their
hearty approval If there is little
more delay than usual at the window
for few Sundays, the public will have
patience, for the plan, which is APP
proved by the department, gives three
of the boys much needed rest on that
day.
Herman Ramthun, chairman of the
county board committee on public prop
erty, accompanied Sheriff Chellis To
Waupun Sunday night when the latter
took Gustav Baranowski to the state
prison, and while at the state lnStitu-
ton made an examination into the
merits of the Bertillion system OF
measuring and recording description
of prisoners for future identification
purposes The committee for some Tune
has been of the opinion that 1t would be
good idea for this county to adopt the
Il tx,,fx, MIR Tah u
Oshkosh, Fond du Lac and many second
class cities of the state and has long
been in use in all of the large cities. 1t
has often proven great saving to
county for by it crooks can more easily
be detected and convicted; the Chicago
police station now has a picture and
description of almost every criminal
that has operated in this country, and
when suspect is arrested 1t takes but
short time to establish his identity.
