RURAL CARRIERS PAY.
New Schedule Is Completed dates
From Iuly Isl.

Washington, July l9.-The new salary
schedule for rural mail carriers has
been completed. The new hedule APP
plies from July LIST. The last congress
raised the maximum salary from 5000
to 1920 a year.
1t was found that the maximum route
was "a miles long and to carriers on
routes ef this length, numbering about
1900, the maximum salary will be paid.
The salaries of carriers on routes short
er than the maximum was fixed by de-
Quoting SIS for each mile less than "a
The net result has been that slightly
over two thirds of the whole force of
24,500 carriers have received increases of
500 year in their salaries. The re-
manning carriers have received increases
of less than this sum.
This schedule takes into consideration
the expense for equipment and makes
what is stated to be liberal allow
ance for such expense to carriers on
routes less than the maximum length.
1t leaves about the same appropriation
available for new service during the COM
ing year that the department had dur
ing the last fiscal year.

DOLLAR BILLS GALORE.
They Will Soon Predominant Over
Silver in the West.
From Tuesdays Daily.

from Tuesdays Daily.
As result of the announcement that
no more silver do AIS will be coined by
the government mts, the west will soon
be using as mut paper money as does
the east. Heret fore silver has rather
predominated.
The announcement garding the coin
ing OF silver was made at Portland, Ore,
recently by George L. Roberts, director
of the United States mint The only
chance there is of more silver dollars,
declared Mr.. Roberts, is the election of
a l6-tol congress.
So much currency is used in the east
that the fastener shifts when forced
to accept silver money in the west. The
cigar stands in the leading hotels of
the west always makes it a point to
have a supply of paper money on hand
in order to please their customers.
rendering much silver to an east
erner means that he will go elsewhere
to buy, provided he can find place
where paper money is to be had. The
westerner does not like to carry about
whole pockets full of heavy dollars but
he has not the aversion to accepting
it as change that his Atlantic brother
has.
Residents of the west will easily fall
into the new order of things, because
the most enthusiastic jingler of silver
will admit that it is far handler to car
~ paper money than cart wheels"
"The west has been gradually COM
ing more and more to use paper money"
said Charles w. Farwell, assistant cash
Ter of the Northwestern National bank,
yesterday.
$50 much paper money is handled in
this city that we send large packages
of worn out bills to the treasury depart
ment twice a week. All worn out bills
are collected when opportunity is given
and they are exchanged for good money
at Washington.
Every precaution is taken to prevent
spread of disease through paper money
and 1 think the thing is so well looked
after that there is practically no danger
from the bills of today. Of course, there
is little more danger than from silver,
but paper currency is the natural and
handy currency to carry. Once used, al
ways used.
did you notice how anxious people
always are to exchange their silver dol
lars for paper ones? The use of paper
money will increase right along now
and 1 think it is good thing Min
neapolis Times.

WHAT FOSTER PREDICTS.
Weather Prophet Says There'II Be
Trouble on the Ocean.

Washington, d. c., July 19.-The last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross the continent July Is to 10,
warm wave July IA to Is, cool wave
July IL to 81. The next disturbance will
reach the Pacific coast about July 81,
cross west of the Rockies by the close
of July %, great central valleys July 3d.
to July 25, eastern states July 26. A
warm wave will cross west of the Rock
les about July 81, great central val
leys July %, eastern states July 25. A
cool wave will cross west af the Rockies
about July "a, great central valleys July
&c, eastern states July %.
All the storms of July, August and
September will be of more than usual
force and this one will become fierce
and dangerous out on the north Atlantic
steam ship route to Europe and there
fore it will be an unsafe time to cross
those waters.
This disturbance will come in the
and it will be exceedingly hot all over
the continent, not on the same day, but
as the hot wave progresses eastward, its
time to reach the Mississippi river be-
ing about July "a.
The cool wave following this distur-
bance will successfully bring very low
temperatures to all sections of the con-
tinent as it progresses eastward, its
time to cross Mississippi being about
July 26 or July 81.
Heavy rains will accompany this storm
wave, the belt of rains reaching Missis-
sippi river near July 25 and the threat
ening weather continuing from July "a
to July %.
Very severe storms are expected about
and Immediately following the date of
this bulletin, preceded by high and fol-
lowed by low temperatures. These tenn
peratures are not expected to go to such
great extremes as will those of the
next disturbance and rainfall following
July IL will not be so great as following
July "a.
Temperature of the week ending July
26 will average very much above normal
and rainfall below normal.
Indications are that September will
be the hot month of the summer in
most parts of the country. The back
ward condition of crops will need that
warm September for maturing, particu-
larly in the northern states. Frost is
expected very far south not far from
September %.

ner that excites admiration and wonder.
She is human, however, and in trying
cases the demands upon her strength
prove excessive. She fulfils her duty
nobly to the last moment but, as soon as
she is relieved she is compelled to build
up her own weakened powers. She
naturally wants the remedy that will re-
store her efficiency in the shortest posi-.

sensible one and a remarkably good
guide for everybody else.

Lum Mathis in Custody.

Lum Mathis, who was suspected of
robbing Sibert's Drug Store Thursday
night and of having had a baud in the
robbery OF knight Bros. Book Store
Monday night was rounded up by the
officers last night He tearfully de-
MED all knowledge Of either robbery
and protested his innocence. He has
been kept in custody since last might
but as yet no positive evidence that
he is guilty has been secured. John
Mack and Frank Ross who had a purse
apiece that were stolen from Knights
Book Store claim that Lum Mathis
gave them the purses. Lum claims to
have found them under ventillator
grating to the Tuomey Block. Frank
Ross feels very much aggrieved that
anyone should associate his name with
that of Lum Mathis, "a common Mig
ger that aint' none of my company"
not to mention suspecting him Of
stealing.

Knights Book Store Robbed.

The book store of knight Bros,
was entered by burglars Monday night
and about fifteen or twenty dollars
worth of goods, principally fine purs-
es and pocket books, stolen. The
burglar endeavored to rife the cash
till, but did not succeed in getting it
open, although it was battered and
broken so that it was ruined. The
till contained only few cents, how
ever, and the burglar was wasting his
time, for Mr.. knight never leaves any
money in the till when he closes the
store at night.
The burglary was kept quiet and an
effort made to discover and arrest the
thief. Lum Mathis, Frank Ross and
John Mack we're suspected of the
theft as they were found in possession of
some of the stolen purses, but there
was not sufficient evidence to make a
casee against them, SO no arrests were
made. The store was entered
through the transom over the back
door, the iron bars being pried loose
with iron rod.
