rency until they come into possession
of someone desiring to send money
through the mail Then the blank
spaces are filled with the name of the
payee and his address, and two-cent
stamp is placed in a space provided on
the bill for that purpose. BY this
simple and inexpensive process the
bill is transformed into a check, with
many of the safeguards. and few of
the complications of the present
money order system. The scheme
would not change our financial sys-
tenn but would merely change the form
of small notes.
The process of redemption, cancella-
ton and reissue would be simple under
the proposed law. The post-checks are
to be paid at any money order post
office, where they will at once be can

and sent to the United States treasury

ment they could go direct to the treas

Mr.. Henry A. Castle. auditor for the
postoffice department, has prepared a
statement which illustrates both the
difficulties of the people and those of
the government under the present
money-order system. "A bureau of the
treasury department in charge of the
auditor for the postoffice department,
with nearly 900 employees, now handles,
and audits the accounts involved in
handling, about fifty million money-or-
der vouchers annually" Speaking of
the public's waste of time with the
money orders, he says: "Assuming that
ten hours d day for 800 days per an
mum constitutes the full working year
of an individual. the time consumed

people than the permanent retention

Ankeny should be given all the honor
and credit due him for his efforts to
hold the fort, not much praise is due

prevent the creation of q railroad

prevent unfair determinations and to

Never shall forget, writes Julia Daniels Moseley, in the Four-Track News, the magic of Q certain garden in the south. ip sunny Florida. x. The stars down there have a way of seem ing to hang out of the sky, like Q jewel placed high in the setting. The moon was full and the magic of her yellow beauty bewitched everything, enhancing the very shadows. There is an abandon about that spot that takes away the stiffness 50 often found in large, formal grounds, and, as you walk on and on, there seems to be no end to it, but it is as though all the world was sumptuous gar. den; and when you lift your eyes 10 the matchless night blues, it seems as If the very dome of Heav- en had opened to charm yeay yisiOn.

CONNECTION ASSURED
 IN NEAR FUTURE.
Completion of Searcy and Des Are Branch to Main Line of
 Rock Island.

It was stated at the office of the Rock Island in Little Rock. this week that the work of lay-- ing the steel for the Searcy and Des Arc branch would probably be completed some time during the coming week, and that trains. would be in operation by the first. of November. This is the time. specified in the contract of the constructors, and there is no doubt that the road will be open ed at that time.
 The people of Des Arc are pre- pairing to give a great demon stration in that town when the first train over the new line is run. The opening of this line will give the people of the Searcy section much shorter route to to Memphis and other eastern points than formerly. The new line connects with the Memphis line of the Rock Island at Mesa. a small station three miles west of Devall's Bluff.

LOUISIANA SHERIFF
 ELUDES MOB.
Escaped With Prisoner While Lynchers Were Preparing to
 Storm Bastile.


 El Dorado, Oct. 23. Sheriff Kirkpatrick of Claiborne parish, Louisiana, passed through here yesterday with a white man charged with killing his half sister and her son near Athens, La.
 The sheriff called out the mili- tia that night at Homer and while a mob was about the jail slipped the prisoner out, eluding the mob, and came to Junction City before daybreak and took the northbound train. His des- tination is not known.
