RURAL MAIL BY TROLLEY.
Description OF the Invention That
May Do Away With Rural
Mail Carriers.

Nelson S. Howell, of Cumming, Madi-
son county, has established model Of
an automatic rural mail delivery and
collection apparatus, built according to
a device which he recently patented, on
a farm near Cumming. 1t is 80 rods
long and is designed to illustrate the
working Of the system which can be OK
tended to any distance up to 80 miles.
The apparatus consists Of an endless
cable, carried on poles and delivering
and collecting mail by clock work.
The cable in line 30 miles long can be
operated by a l. horsepower gasoline
engine and the cable can run at such a
speed as will permit as many deliveries
in day as are desired. The power is
applied to the cable by drum located
with the engine at any station desired.
The deliveries and collections are made
automatically. For instance, if there
are so persons on the endless chain
route, the mail pouch of No. drops at
his mail box while the other 40 pouches
are carried on, dropping at their places.
The apparatus does not get out of order
easily and the working model on the
farm in Madison county works perfect
ly.
Muddy roads will not effect this rural
mail carrier, nor will billiards. Rain
or shine, muddy or dry, holidays and
all, this apparatus could work without
a thought being given to hardships Of
the mail carrier and how expensive he
finds horse feed. And, too, it's general
use would guarantee to, every resident
of the country, instead of to a favored
few, the conveniences and advantages
Of daily mail delivery.
Its general use would be great fac
tor not only for economy but for eff
cheney in saving of time. For instance,
plant of cable mail carrying routes
supplying an entire county could be
operated from the county seat, avoid
ing delays of transfers by rail and over
worked mail clerks. 1t would simplify
the work Of the railway mail clerks
greatly if they were required to throw
mail to the 80 county seats in Iowa, for
instance, instead of the $500 towns in
the state.

A Maine republican newspaper ac-
cuses Andrew Carnegie of ingratitude
in not spending some of his money to
erect monument to one of the de
ceased tariff statesmen of that state.
That, in the opinion of the Springfield
Republican, is hardly fair to Carnegie.
He has paid all the republican states
men, living and dead, for their services
in the contributions he has made to
republican campaign funds. Carnegie
has lived up to his end of the bargain.
He paid for what he got and probably
feels a contempt for the men that
served him. Surely, he is under no OBJ
legations to raise monuments to their
memory. 1t is doubtless true, as this
exchange says, that "there is every
reason to believe that he desires to
forget it, Certainly he should feel
that way.

The state institutions of Iowa are now
nearly all supplied with large farms as
adjuncts and these are found to be Of
immense value in maintaining the insti-
buttons. Chairman Cownie of the state
board declares that Iowa is now the
most extensive hog-raiser in this part
of the country. There are over 5000
head of hogs at the various state insti-
tutions belonging to the state of Iowa.
At Mt. Pleasant hospital there are over
600 head, and at independence and Clar-
india there are more than ever before.
In fact the state is selling lard and hog
products from these farms, as the herds
of hogs produce more than the state
needs -
