CONGRESS AND RURAL DE-
LIVERY.

The subcommittee of the committee
on postoffices and post roads of the
house of representatives has, in COM
pliance with the general demand for
better pay for rural carriers, decided
to recommend an increase from $50 to
$50 per month for each carrier who is
also required to furnish his own team,
with the stipulation that he shall do no
more express business. While this mod
crate increase in pay would be cheer
fully accepted by the rural carriers,
the anti-parcel delivery proviso is re-
garded with disfavor.
The fine italian hand of the express
companies, says the Omaha Bee is
plainly visible to all who read. and
causes the question very naturally to
be asked why the committee should
discommode the very people whom

TO LOSE HIS TONGUE.
Surgical Operation Made Necessary
By Excessive Smoking.

New York, March 10.-Thomas J. Ma
guire, treasurer of a theater here and
widely known in the profession of the
stage, has said farewell to his friends
in preparation for a surgical operation
which will deprive him of ever speaking
again if, indeed, he survives with his
life.
Mcguire came here in 1881 from San
Francisco where he had been treasurer
of two leading theaters. For years he
has smoked 25 or more cigars daily and
this, it is supposed, started a eancerous
growth at the roots of his tongue.
Thinking little of the irritation, Ma
guire neglected consulting doctor until
recently, and then it was found that the
means of saving his life. Mcguire, after
long deliberation decided to undergo the
operation, but so greatly has it preyed
upon his mind that his hair is said to
have turned snowy white in the past six
weeks.

THE WICHITA CONVENTION.


The Republican convention which
named the state ticket at Wichita last
night was run by modern machine
methods. AS Henry Allen says. There
are certain new wrinkles and attach
ments which if not patented I would
desire used on any new political ma
chine with which I might in the future
become identified, provided I favor any
machine"
Stubs was the whole thing as the
boys say When Dick Blue as a matter
of form and to show an ordinary
semblance of power lodged in conven-
tons delegates, moved that the conven-
ton adjourn till o'clock to give the
chairman time to select his commit
tees Stubs recognized the humor of it
and said: THAT is not necessary.
have the list in my pocket It has given
me weeks of thought and preparation"
This holiness took the breath of such
old time machine men as Leland and
Albaugh.
Differences were not settled on a
basis of right, but of might. The seat
ing of the Walker Jackson county dele
gates. fairly and squarely defeated in
the home primaries, and the seating of
the Kelly Miami county delegation. I'M
der similar conditions were two in
stances of the shamelessness of a rule
by a machine which has the power, and
says. What are you going to do about
it?"
The disgrace led Mr. Hoch in his
speech last night to say that the next
legislature, if his wishes be followed
will enact a primary law which will
prevent such proceedings in the future
and such delays to conventions over
contesting delegations,
The Hoch movement was announced
to be one for purity in politics, and yet
the only man who was not renominat-
ed was the best man on the whole
ticket and not a charge of dishonesty
or corruption or inability was lodged
or could be brought against him.
The most loudly cheered and most
thoroughly applauded speech made be-
fore the convention was that by Henry
Allen. who was given an ovation. His
statement that he was proud to be the
friend of Governor Bailey brought out
laundering applause, and his thrust at
State Treasurer Kelly by the state
ment that Bailey had never been
charged by his own county as being
IAN embezzler and THIEF was en-
Enthusiastically received.
Later when the late Dick Blue under
took to answer Henry Allen and said
that he did not wish the delegates to
keep on talking about the goodness OF
Governor Bailey" there were cries OF
noes from every part of even that
convention called to slaughter tbs
governor. and Blue was Kissed to such
an extent that the chairman was oblig-
ed to threaten to clear the galleries
unless the expressions of derision and
disapproval were stopped.
The machine was determined to nom
. mate Kelly, not that it could defend
: Kelly, but because Kelly had certain
elements of personal popularity, wa,

 PREACHER HELD IN BAIL.
Charged With Having Sent Lnscivious
 Letters Through the Mail


 Birmingham. Aug. 10.--(Special,)- Rev. c. w. Green, the Methodist min ister of the Ferndale Lamar County circuit, arrested by the postoffice au- thorities on the charge of sending obscene and lascivious matter through the malls. was held to await the action of the federal grand jury by United States Commissioner Birch in the sum of $500. He made bond.
 The preliminary hearing consumed all of the afternoon. Seven witnesses for the prosecution were examined. in- cluding ladies to whom the letters were addressed. Miss Kittie Simpson. post master at Ferndale, and David Tipton, the assistant postmaster.
 The witnesses were put under the rule and Commissioner Birch did not permit the reading of the letters aloud as they were of a revolting nature A letter signed by the defendant was also introduced for the purpose of making comparison of the handwriting In 1t with that in the anonymous letters. Counsel for the government called at tention to points of resemblance in the chirography and spelling.
 The case was argued at some length by Assistant United States District At torney Steele and c. c. NeSmith for the government and by J. J. Curtis, Esq counsel for the defendant. In the course of the argument 1t developed that the statute in reference to the sending of lewd, lascivious and ob- scene matter through the mails was amended in 1884 so as to include all letters sent through the mail, whether sealed or not
 The defendant is an old man and the theory of his counsel Is that he is the victim of some kind of con spiracy.
 The parties to whom the anonymous letters were addressed are among the best people of Lamar County.
