RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
Hall of Central Lodge No. 1888, A.
F. & A. M, Peoria, Iowa:
AS the ruthless hand of time often
breaks down the strongest cedars of
Lebanon, SO death has entered our
ranks and taken from our midst one
of our most loyal members, stalwart
citizens and upright men in the per-
son of Bro. Peter Appel. He was a
man whose sterling integrity and
tenacity of purpose the community
fully appreciated. he was one of the
workers who patiently took up the
every day duties of life and built that
which endures. Therefore be 1t
RESOLVED, That we deeply mourn his
loss.
ReSolced, That in the death of Bro,
Appel the lodge has lost loyal mem
Der, the community a pure and true
friend, the family kind father and
affectionate husband, the county at
large just and upright citizen.
ResoLUed, That we extend to the be-
reaved family our sincerest sympa-
thy.
ResolUed, That copy OF these reso-
lutions be spread upon the minutes OF

Provision for Disabled Clerks.

Mr.. Shallenberger urges that better rail-
way mail cars be constructed. Discussing
the railway mail service relief and super
annuatfon measure. he says:
Attention is invited to the fact that
Congress is urged to provide some plan
whereby clerks of the railway mall service
permanently disabled in line of duty or
worn out through long and faithful service
may retire on an annuity.
while the question of some general leg
islation looking to the relief of all super
animated clerks in government employ IS
under investigation. 1t may be well to call
attention to the views of the general super
intendent, railway mail service, who urges
that the railway mail service being extra
hazardous and it's work peculiarly exacting,
special provision might be made for Its en-
ployes, which need not be considered
precedent for civil service employees as
whole.
ut would seem that aside from the army
and navy the life-saving service Is the only
other government service that approaches
the railway mail service in danger to lire
and limb and in taxing mental and physical
endurance If, therefore, some feasible
plan can be devised for deducting a small
percentage from the salary OF every en-
ploye of this service. thereby creating
fund for the retirement OF superannuated
and incapacitated clerks. incline to think
it would result in great benefit TO the
service" ---.'.f--.-t-
The appropriation for the current fiscal
year, on account of offices, Clerks ana
other items of the railway mail service, is
So, 140, 3O1.
The sum estimated as necessary for the
fiscal year ending JUNE 80, 1865, is SIS, &c.,

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
She was good-natured happy-looking
Irish woman that walked into a German
town store few days ago and asked the
price of collars that were displayed in the
window. The clerk replied that they were
two for quarter.
The woman then asked: How much
would that be for one?"
Thirteen cents" answered the clerk,
quickly.
The old woman pondered, and then, with
her finger, figured on the sleeve of her
coat little longer. After her effort she
demanded:

soap removes the natural oil given by the
Almighty to protect the body, and thus ex-
poses IT to rheumatism, chills, disease and
dirt. This writer evidently has the cour-
age of his convictions, for he boasts that
he has not used soap for thirty years,
while all the time he was doing the hard
est kind of work at sea, and yet never had
a twinge of rheumatism or any other all
ment. While the consensus of opinion OBJ
tanned by the Times through interviews Is
distinctly favorable to the saponaceous
side of the question, the Lancet goes so far
as to admit that soap is not calculated TO
make the skin supple because it removes
the natural oil, but says that cid cream
is a remedy for this. 1t adds: Neverthe,
less, not a few people maintain personal
Cleanliness without the use of soap at ALL

my last annual report for increase in force
of railway postal clerks have proven in
adequate to handle the unprecedented in
crease of postal business. The recent
weighing in the middle west demonstrated
the fact that the increase during the past
four years in volume of mail handled was
1896 per cent, as against our previous esti-
mate of 10 per cent. This explains the
fact that our clerical force has proved in
adequate to properly handle the increased
business thrown upon it, and 1t becomes
necessary to ask Congress to provide in
the urgent deficiency bill for 300 additional
clerks of the various grades"

reference was made in my. last annual
report to the fact that In lieu of favorable
action upon the full reorganization and re-

FEDERAL GRAND JURY RETURNS
ANOTHER LARGE BATCH OF
INDICTMENTS.
Attorney AGATIN INVOLVED
CHARGED WITH CONSPIRING TO
DEFRAUD IN STONE AND TIM.

Duluth, May 20.-The federal grand
jury returned another batch of indict-
ments during the day against several
local men, chief among whom is At
torney A. L. Again, register of titles
under the recently enacted Terrence
land system. Mr. Agatin, who is
charged with conspiracy to defraud
the government in connection with
stone and timber entries, will be ar.
raigned in court and furnish bonds
for his appearance at the October
term. The names of the other men in
dicted have not been made public, but
it is reliably stated that in the list is
another we'll known lawyer and two
members of one Of the most prominent
logging firms at the head Of the lakes.
These indictments, coming on top
of the true bill that was found
against c. P. Maginnis, former receiv-
er of the landoffce at Duluth, have
created considerable of a sensation in
this city and it is said by persons in
a position to know that the list of in
dicted persons is by no means CON-
plete
Less than two months ago a special
agent of the government visited the
Duluth landoffice and started an in
vestigation into reports that fraud was
being committed in the matter of
stone and timber entries in this ter
ritory. The result was that 1900 en-
tries were held up pending a further
investigation.
