40 IL Away Win Aend n great mANv
stamps. small articles in
the mail. According to the plan Of Mr..
Madden, this sort Of matter can be sent
out In bulk instead Of sticking stamp
on each circular. The whole package
can be weighed and the amount OF
postage due paid at the point OF trans
mission. In speaking Of the new regu.
1ation, Mr.. Madden says:
''Of course we will continue to sci.
one-cent stamps and they will have 4
limited use for mailing merchandise.
But nine-tenths Of all one-cent stamps
heretofore sold have been used by BUSH
ness firms that send out large quanti-
tes Of circulars and which will now pay
the postage due by check. This law
will break up the business OF lot Of
Fagins who keep stamp fences IN the
large cities. Business men are cor.
stantly complaining about thefts Of
one-cent stamps by Office boys and
messengers who dispose of them at
reduced rates to crooks. We think the
adoption of the bulk law will put
stop to this petty thieving."

the secretary is DESTROYS that most Of
them be filed by western boys The
appointments will be made BY the
middle OF November and the presi-
dent agrees with his secretary that the
west is entitled to big share Of
them .ts, .4
During the last year there have been
about so appointments of lieutenants
in the marine corps and the naval reg
lister shows that at least sevsn-eighths
of the appointees came from eastern
states. The majority of them are from
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,, New
Jersey, Virginia and the District OF
Columbia
Appointments to the marine corps
are now considered very desirable po-
sitions in the navy. Formerly this
branch of the naval service did not
have the standing of tho line and en-
gineers. It has become exceedingly
popular, however, since It's brilliant
achievements In Cuba. the Philippines
and in China. It has been greatly In
creased since the breaking out Of the
war with Spain and the corps now
embraces something like 5000 men
and officers and will probably be
increased couple Of thousand more
very soon.
The examinations for appointments
are restricted to persons between the
ages of 81 and ~ years. A candidates
personal aptitude and fitness count for
much, although he must pass physi-
cal and professional test. The latter
examination covers such subjects a.
English grammar, arithmetic, algebra
geometry. surveying, geography. his
tory and the constitution. The lowest
position is that of second lieutenant,
in which the salary is $1.400 a year.

TOWN RULED BY OUTLAWS.

Federal troops have been asked for
and are being held in readiness to be
sent to Bonesteel, South Dakota, pending
a promise by the gamblers that the
"grafters" shall leave the city at once.
Thursday night the mayor in a signed
statement notified Superintendent Nc
Phaul, of the government registration
office, that he was unable to cope with
the situation and requested that troops
be called for. Two hours later the re-
quest was withdrawn. At midnight the
request was renewed by the city author
tiles. Yesterday meeting of citizens was
held, and Mr.. McPhaul issued an ulti-
matum to the city authorities, saying
that the rioting and disorder OF Thursday
night positively would not be permitted
again and that he would remove the
registration office from Bonesteel TO an
other point If repetition of the rioting
occurred. Yesterday Mr.. McPhaul noti-
fed the government authorities that the
town was past control of the local author
tiles aud advised the sending of troops.
Yesterday a man was held up in front of
the Citizens Bank and was robbed
Of $50. Shortly afterward another bold
robbery was committed on the main
street. A farmer was askedby gamb'
Ter TO play. He refused, saying he
