RURAL FREE DELIVERIES

Senator Bacon's Flying Trip to Washington Re-
suited in His Receiving Positive Assurances
From the Postoffice Department on This
Subject--Senator Also Had Georgia
Artillery officer Transferred
From Honolulu
BY R. M. LARNER.

Washington. Sept. Ex-senator Clay
paid a flying visit to Washington to-
day to consult the Postmaster General
relative to the feeling of alarm pre-
vailing all through the South, owing
to the threatened curtailment of the
rural free delivery service.
In the absence of Postmaster Cen
eral Payne, the senator had a long
conversation with Acting Postmaster
General Bristow. Senator Clay, stated
that the feeling exists all through the
Southern states, that the rural free de-
livery routes, already established,
which do not have 100 or more patrons,
are to be abolished. He explained how
convenient and satisfactory the pres
ent service is, and as a member of the
Postoffice Committee, he desired to en-
ter his solemn protest against such a
proceeding.
Senator Clay stated that he was en-
tirely familiar with the spirit, and the
intent of the existing law relative to
the rural free delivery service, and 1t
is not contemplated by the trainers of
that law, that the service should be de-
MED one locality and given to another.
After going over the subject. Mr..
Bristow, gave the senator his personal
and official assurance that the POST
office Department will not interfere
with any of the rural free delivery
routes already established, even if such
routes do not serve 100 patrons. The
routes now in operation will be con-

of His Infuri-

Niagara Falls. N. Y, Sept. 12.-Chief
of Police Maloney, of this city, to-
night made an attempt on the life of
w. H. Davey, a we'll known business
man who is locked up on charge of
attempted assault on Elsie Christie.
Lizzie Sacht, and other little girls be-
tween and 13 years of age.
1t was only tonight that Chief Ma
loney learned that an attempt had been
made by the man to assault his own
daughter. Maloney had Davey brought
from his cell and when his daughter
identified him Ma1oney drew his re-
volver and endeavored to shoot him
down. A police sergeant jumped on
him in the nick Of time and disarmed
the chief.
This afternoon Judge Horne fixed
Daveys bail at $4,000.

tinued, all reports to the contrary not
Withstanding.
This information and assurance from
Mr.. Bristow was very gratifying TO
Senator Clay and it will set at rest
much unauthorized and wild specula-
ton now prevalent. relative to the
adjustment of hundre DIS of small routes
through the United States.
Mr.. Bristow added that in laying of
new routes in the rural delivery serv-
ice no iron clad rule has been fixed
by the department as to the number
of patrons required to justify new
routes. Senator Clay said he hoped for
the future routes, but his present mis-
sion was to secure a definite ruling
from the department relative to the
routes already established. He said
the statements of Mr.. Bristow would
relieve the anxiety among those per-
sons who feared thew were about to
be deprived of their present postal
facilities.
While here Senator Clay called at
the War Department to request that
Capt. Pearce of the artillery branch
of the service, now stationed at Hon
olulu be relieved and ordered back to
the United States. Sufficient reasons
for the request were forthcoming, and
before Senator Clay left the War De-
partment orders were issued trans
ferring Capt. Pearce from Honolulu to
duty at Fort Washington, on the low
err Potomac river.
This will be pleasing news to the
many friends of Capt. Pearce in Geor-
gia, and especially in Atlanta, at whose
instance the request for transfer was
made. Capt. Pearce was appointed a
cadet at West Point by former Rep
resentative Tom Watson. He gradu-
ated seven years ago, and has an ex-
cellent military record.

Emperor Williams SOLDIERS.

Weissenfels-on-the-S aale, Prussia,
Sept. 12.-The army maneuvers were
this year more than ever a vast spec
tacle affording a gorgeous background
for Emperor Williams massed cavalry
attacks and storming of batteries. The
Emperor turned the working out of the
dry, strategical problem prepared by
the general staff, into a glorified sham
battle that delighted many thousands of
spectators assembled on the elevated
ground.
The value of the maneuvers, as usual.
is again seriously discussed. Every
one appears to agree that they have
the political result of stimulating in

a mortal spirit among the Germans.

Catarrh of the head is liable to spread
to other organs. 1t is the direct cause
of many severe stomach arrangements.
Catarrh of the stomach and nervous
ness go hand in hand.
Nervousness is a vague term which
covers all of those ailments which re-
suit from a bloodless condition of the
nerve centers. Systematic catarrh is
very frequently the cause of this condi-

ton. Every mucous membrane in the
body is slightly deranged by systematic
catarrh. This leads to complete de-
moralzation of the digestive and assim-
ilatiVe organs, and a bloodless condi-
ton of the nerve centers ensue. Nerv-
business is the result; fretfulness, irri-
liability, worry, complaining-all of
these mental conditions result from
starved nerve centers.
The only cure is to remove the ca
tarrhal condition of the mucous mem
brane.
Peruna is the remedy that will do
this.
Peruna is not a nervine nor a quiet
ing medicine. Peruna cures just the
condition-catarrh
Peruna cures catarrh of the internal
organs, and the nervousness disap-

Commissioners of each of the twen-

cation for convicts to be worked on
the public roads under the new law,
inviting the chairman of each board,
or some representative of the county,
to meet with the Prison Commissioner
at the capitol on Tuesday Oct 6, for
the purpose of discussing this decis-
ion upon rules and regulations under
which these convicts are to be work
ed.
1t is the desire of the Prison Com
mission to work in thorough har-
mony with the county authorities and
to subserve their interests as well as
those of the state The twenty-five
counties that have applied for felony
convicts under the new law will be
entitled to receive a total of $50 on
a basis of one convict to about 900
inhabitants. This will leave few
less than 1900 able bodied convicts
to be leased to private parties and
as there is a demand for at least 3
600 the price will no doubt be quite
high.
The commission has already receiv-
ed several tentative offers, though no
formal bids have been made. The
highest of these offers is 1902 each
for 200 men. 1t said the lessee can
work the convicts profitablY at a fig
ure as high as $240.
The total income to the state will
be somewhere between 100000 and
$35OO0 of which about 100000 will
go for expenses of the penitentiary,
system and the balance to the school
fund. By taking her 10S convicts I'M
