ARMY OF SWALLOWS
Infest the Chimneys of the Coart
House.

Take look above the Court House
any evening when the weather is nne
nowadays, and you will see an army
of swallows darting and circling
through the air above the temple or
justice. In the main, the great flock of
birds move ia circular column around
the steeple OF the building, and far
above, but there seems to be very lit
tie order in the movements of any
single bird.
They 60 darting through the great
swarm OF rapid flying birds like SO
many bees in swarm, and with ap-
parently as little regularity, IL you
take the evolutious of any single in-
vidual. The movement on the part
OF the whole army, however is harmo-
NOUS, and no bird ever collides with
bis neighbor, though they fly at In
credible speed.
When the birds have completed
their evening exercise, inst before
darkness falls upon the earth, the
leader darts into the big chimney ia
the southern side OF the court house,
and the whole squad, numbering per-
haps several thousand, follow him In
stantly. Almost before you can count
a hundred the entire army OF birds
has taken refuge for the night ia the
Court House chimney An occasional
straggler, who had wandered far out in
search Of some coveted insect for food,
comes sailing In perhaps minute or
two minutes after his comrades have
retired. Have a look above the Court
House this evening

RURAL FREE DELIVERY ROUTES
No More viii Be Established Until
After July l, Owing to Deficit
in Service.

Washington, May 13-Postmaster
General Payne announced that there
would be no more establishments of
rural free delivery postal service I'M
til July ! the beginning of the next
fiscal year. This is one result of the
investigation of postofice affairs and
OF the discovery that at the present
rate of increase in the number of
routes there would be deficit of 500.
600 in the rural free delivery service
by the end of the fiscal year
instructions have been given to
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow to curtail expenditures by dis
continuing the daily establishment Of
routes and it is expected that the
threatened deficit will be averted. 1t
is not intended. however that the in
vestigation of proposed routes shall
be suspended, and the field work
therefore will continue. Mr.. Payne
estimated that the total number of
routes fairly entitled to be established
in the entire country would be $4,000.
and at the present rate of increase
this would be reached two years hence.

Clark Delegates were present from
all parts of the United States, Canada

remarks had been made by the pre-
siding officer
The hall had been deliberately deco.
rated for the occasion with red, green
and white bunting. typical of the sig.
nal lights on the railroad, and the
national colors.
The first matter taken up was the
submitting of the presidents report.
The report had been published in
pamphlet form and one given to each
delegate. The report shows that
handsome and general increases Of
salaries had been secured during the
past two years on practically all the
roads on the continent under the
scope of the organization.
The report also showed that since
the last convention. held two years
ago, the divisions of the organization
have been increased by the establish
ment of IL new ones The total mem
bership of the order is shown to be
29,199, of which number 4,636 mem
bers were taken into the order during
the past two years.

has maintained a relief fund out of

year. During the past two years also

amounting to $1,206,000 But few
recommendations were made to the
convention in the report, and there
are fewer changes in laws before the
body than it has ever had before

IMPORTANT NOTICE,

For the benefit OF those persons
who contemplate purchasing prop
erty of the Chancery Hill Compa-
ny we desire to say in regard to a
rumor which has been freely circu-
lated, to the effect that we are not
going to build a bridge across
Deckers creek at the foot of Main
street, that the bridge is now in
course of construction at the works
of the Riverside Bridge Company
of Wheeling, w. Va, and will be
erected as soon as the work can be
completed.
The work of experimenting the
construction and erection is in the
hands Of the Osborn Engineering
Company of Cleveland, O., com
pany whose bridge engineers are
second to none in this country.
Any rumors or statements con-
trary to the above facts are with
out foundation.
While unexpected delays have
occurred, incident to the great de-
mand upon the capacity of the
bridge builders, we can assure
those interested in the property Of
the .Chancery Hill Company that
the bridge will be completed dur
ing the present summer,

come several times. When he got a
chance to fix the time and place for
holding the examination he thought
it would be good time to get back

that way.
He wanted to go fishing. When
he reached town be was amazed at
the changes which had taken place
and the way that it had grown.
With all it's excitement he kept
thinking about the fine fishing and
presently he landed splendid spec
linen of pike which had just been
brought to town by the man who
had caught 1t in the river.
We are not informed as to the
price paid for it but it was enough.
The fish was sent back home last
