The Washington postoffice requires 462 clerks while Cleveland, with greater revenues, requires but 1S5. The en- tire difference is due to the franking privilege accorded government offic- ials.

ROBBERS MAKE BIG HAUL.
Two Men Loot n Bank Vault at Union,
no, and Secure Fifteen Thou
sand Dollars.

st. Louis, Dec. ga special to the
Post-Dispatch from Union, Mo-, says
the bank of Union was hurglarized
between one and two o'clock Satur-
day morning, the vault being blown
open with nitro-glycerine and $751;
900, the entire contents of the safe,
stolen. The robbers were two in
number, and are believed to be pro-
f~essionals. They escaped. A little
after one o'clock a loud explosion
vas heard and several shots werc
fred around the public square. Most
of the citizens who heard the noise
supposed it vas caused by some boys
out OF a lark celebrating Christmas,
and paid no attention to it. Oscar
Busch, a hardware dealer, living
ros the street, realized that the
bank vas being robbed, but when he
went to the window to look out was
covered with a revolver. He con-
cluded that discretion was the best
part of valor, and kept quiet. Others
in the vicinity of the bank were also
kept quiet by a display of revolvers.
About so shots were fired to terror
ize any who might want to venture
out. Some say seven men were
seen around. But Mr.. Busch says but
two men left the bank after the
robbery.

VIRTUE WAS REWARDED
for sample P~OIiteness and Free
dom from Vices.

Items telling how young men and
young women have been rewarded for
returning packages of money and bags
of diamonds with gifts varying from
to five dollars have been so III
merous recently that the old adage
about virtue being it's own reward has
been beautifully eXemplified, accord
ing to the Milwaukee Sentinel. In the
face of many evidences of a lack of
generosity toward those who are truly
good, it is pleasant news that an Ohio
boy has received So, 100 from a stranger
to whom he was polite.
The name of the fortunate boy is
Frank Provost. He is 10 years old,
and he drives a delivery wagon. The
other day, when a man asked him for
a ride, he obligingly gave the unknown
a place on the seat beside him. When
the drive was ended the stranger in
pited the young man to take a drink.
Frank refused. Next the tempter Of
fered q chew of tobacco. This was de-
clined. Lastly a cigar was used as a
bait. Frank was still adamant. Mod
estly he announced that he had none
of the common vices. In a few days
Frank received a check for $1,000 from
the stranger, who disclosed the fact
that he was a San Francisco million
aire, able to recognize virtue when he
found it. Up to last accounts Franks
head had not been turned by his sud-
den good fortune. He had put his
money in a bank and he was still driv-
ing a delivery wagon. In two years
he intends to start a business of his
own, and, ifhe does, of course, he will
become one of the money kings of the
future.

WILL GET MORE PAY
An Increase of 5000, 900 a Year
to Northwestern Men.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-Increases in
wages amounting to 100000 a year
are to be granted locomotive engineers
and fremen employed by the Chicago
& Northwestern railroad and it's
branch lines through an agreement
reached between officials Of the rail-
road and committees. representing the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen.
The new scale will go into effect
Jan. l. 1t provides for increases Of
approximately s per cent in the pay
of the members of the labor organiza-
tons. Engineers will receive from
$3.50 to $40 for each run of 100
miles. They are now paid from 1910
to $f.70. The high rate is paid to the
men who run the larger and newer
engines. The number of these en-
gines is constantly growing and it is
said, a. majority of the men will re-
ceive the $4.70.
The advances made to the firemen
are not as large proportionately as
those obtained by the engineers. The
company has agreed, however, to eX-
cuse the men from the work of clean
ing portions of freight engines, and
this concession is regarded as import
ant as the increase in wages. Under
the new scale the firemen are to re-
ceive $2.25 to $2.75 for each run of 100
miles. The present scale is from $500
tc $3.50.
OF the firemen and engineers who
are benefited by the new arrange
ment $500 are employed on the Chi
cago & Northwestern railroad. The
other $500 are employed on the st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha and the
Elkhorn, Fremont & Missouri Valley
railways, which are under Northwest
ern control.

SALVATION SANTA.
Good ST. Nicholas Visits the
Children Saturday Night.

Though a little laLe in arriving. vel
thanks to the Salvation Army, Santa
Clause so far as known did not miss
a single little boy or girl in oskaloosa.
1t was Saturday night when he reach.
ed the barracks, and there he found
assembled about two hundred chill
dren-many Of whom had not tasted
OF the sweets of Christmas before.
Two hundred bags of sweetmeats-
each containing about half a pound of
candy, some nuts two apples and an
orange were given out, and the feast
that followed was a joy alike to those
VINO took part as we'll as the older
ones who looked on. A full fedged
CHRISTMAS tree with candles and
strings OF pop corn and candy decors
ated the stage, and from beneath its
branches over n hundred useful and
needed presents were given out to the
worthy boys and girls. The presents
consisted principally of shoes and
suits of underwear. A new garment
OF some description was given to each
child and the glow of pleasure that
lighted their cheeks as they received
the packages showed the hearty ap-
probation that welled up in their
young hearts.
The treat was made possible by the
efforts of Capt. and Mrs. Omann and
members Of the army, and the gener-
Gus assistance of the business people
OF the city. 1t was a success in ev-
cry way, and was well worth the cost.
The barracks were crowded with
children, members Of the army, and
others who came to look on. An in
formal program was rendered, con
sisting of songs by the choir, solos by
Carey and James Long, James Ark
Jess and Mrs. Omann, and short talks
by Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Long, Mrs.
Parks, Mr.. Flanders, Treasurer Cole
and others.
