YArDEYILLE.


 That Christmas shoppers are willing, to tear themselves away from the al- lureinents of the store counters for an afternoon. at the Jacques is sufficient encomium on the character of "She. :" which is the chief feature of the bill. Just now the inclination to spend all leisure time either selecting Yuletide gifts or examining pretty things one would buy if the budget were suf- iciently large, is very strong, and yet the Phoenix avenue playhouse has been crowded afternoon and evening with mem and women loaded with bundles who have dropped In to see the lovelieSt ilfusiSlist of the hour, "She," and incidentally have a few laughs on the side. Not a single word of dissatisfaction has been heard rela- tive to any of the plumbers which have been booked with especial care. 'She" and her marvellous performancn have 5hypnotized all by the soft and delicate beauty of the act, and the spell that sits upon the audience while the tab 1eaux are in view is almost solemn. But there is nothing solemn about Press EIdridge, or the atmosphere, while he is delivering his. funny broad sides. and the graveyard out of which Press could not, resurrect a hearty laugh would indeed be filled with dead ones.

Letters to the President.

The letters addressed to the president average 1900 a day. Eighty per cent of them never reach the eye of either tn" chief executive or his private secrtary. They are sorted by the clerks under the direction of Private Secretary Porter and sent to the proper departments for attention. The largest proportion Of the letters ask for financial assistance. The next largest number pray for the presi- dents assistance in purely personal matters.

SKUNK FARMS IN CONNECTICUT

Readers of the Day will renemoer that the raising and tanning of skunks was an industry established in the northern part of the town of Stonington last year. Two farmers residing In that section engaged in the business at two different points and the venture proved a success. J. Calvin Wilcox is the most extensively engaged in the business of any per son hereabout this year. Rs he already has his yard quite we'll stocked. Tie animals are fed mainly on beef scraps, upon which they thrive rapidly. The skins and their oil is where the profit on the transaction comes from and this amounts to mo incosiderable sum. ---New London Day.

Motor Cars for India.

In as recent report by the Belgian consul at Calcutta it is stated that there is a steady demand for motor cars in1that city, and it Is added that 1t is probable a large business will be done in these cars in the near future. The essential qualities for the Indian market are cheapness and quiet run ming. As the country is extremely dusty, chainless cars are preferred. The motive power should be petrol cum, which IS easily obtainable on characterization Engineer.

the BUCKMAN P0STOfflCt.
KUDER BE0S
LEAVE TO DIFFER WITH THE
FORMER POSTMASTER.

Buckman, Aug. 1, 1904.
Editor Herald: The late postmaster
1T Buckman was evidently much at"
tached to the office, judging from
the tone of his communication to the
Royalton Banner. The fact thespatrons
in general are satisfied with the cou-
duct of the Office while in my charge.
is the best answer to such a screed.
During my postmastership mail could
be.got regularly for ten hours daily,
and mail was distributed promptly
and given out as soon as called for.
while under the old system made
memorable by Postmaster Sitzman,
the 21-hour- -out-of-24 system, mail
was often not distributed till three
weeks after it arrived.
1t seems strange that a republican
had to work for 25 cents day, when
it is claimed that the schedule was
cut down to eight hours. If MIR. Sitz-
man would look at Sec. 81 of the book
of postal laws and regulations. he
would see that what the republicans
claim they have done for the clerks is
fake.
Of course Mr.. Inspector would not
impose on "a female clerk, who in this
case was Mrs. Sitzman, and make her
20 without dinner If he did insist
on it. it is time for the republican
to wake up and apply remedy. We
are sure straight republican or a
straight democrat would not consent
to working 81 hours out of "a day.
Only turncoat would work because
he has no friends.
If it is fact that all the republi-
cans voted for u full dinner pail, 1t
seems that Mrs. Sitzman's had false
bottom to it. "Mr. Mischke knows
more than the Others says Mr.
Sitzman. It might not strain Mischke
much to know more than Sitzman. It
will he nice to have postofioe in a
place where, if q registered letter with a
check comes, the receiver may buy
something in order to get the check
cashed. The small change helps. The
further fact that ladies may hear un-
pleasant talk from some exhilarated
person near by, is probably to be con-
sidered sample of republican doc
trine reduced to practice.
Yours truly,
Frank A. Kuder,
Postmaster.

WILL OPEN SEPT. lST
Farmers Elevator Will
Then be Ready for
Business.

P. A. Kull, q prominent farmer of
Green Prairie and one of the leading
promoters of the Farmers Exchange,
was in the city Monday and talked
Interestingly on the prospects of the
Exchange and what it expected to &C.
complish.
The farmers Exchange will have
their wheat warehouse, bought of A.
Tanner, open for business Sept. 1st.
John Billstein will be the buyer in
charge. The exchange is not going
into wheat buying for the purpose Of
making great profits for itself, but
to preserve profits for the farmers.
and to keep a steady and fair market
price, paying all that the market
allows. and assuring patrons Of fair
grading and dockage. It will not
worry the promoters of the exchange
to see other wheat buyers advance
prices in order to get wheat. The
local warehouse is to be owned and
controlled by farmers, and is intended
to help farmers get good market,
whether they sell their wheat at the
farmers elevator or elsewhere.
The local exchange has practically
made arrangements with s. b. Hall.
the Minneapolis potato man. to
handle potatoes Quotations will te
received. daily, and those selling
potatoes to the exchange will receive
the highest market price obtainable at
the time Of sale. The exchange will
also receive and ship such other pro-
duce as may be deemed advisable.
On Monday E. R. Jackson, presi.
dent o, the county exchange, went to
st. Paul with a carload of cattle
brought in by farmers east of the
city. It is intended to make this a
feature of the work Of the exchange.
eliminating as much as possible

Mr.. Kull believes there is brigh,

politics in it, simply the betterment
Of it's patrons and the agricultural
community as whole, and neces'
sarly, the benefit of all classes OF

DEATH AND PRIMARY

The death of Jos. L. Meyer has
brought up the question as to whether
q name fled for the primary election
can be withdrawn by reason Of the
death of the person filing. County
Auditor Scott of Hennepin county
has decided that he can omit such a
name from'the primary ballot. The
following from the Minneapolis Trib-
une Of Tuesday..will be of interest:
The death of Judge ]. L. Dobbin
has again brought up the discussion
over the primary election law and the
general election law, in which there
is no. provision made for candidates
withdrawing from the ticket before it
is printed. In both laws there are pro-
visions for filing vacancies caused by
death, and also for altering tickets
after they have been printed, but no
provision for keeping names off the
ticket where death or resignation has
occurred. 1t has been suggested that
this ia bad defect in both laws, and
the instance of Ames having his name
on the ticket after he had left the
city and Withdrawn was pointed out
by politicians as a bad defect. How
ever, County Auditor Scott will not
place Judge Dobbin's name upon the
primary election ballot, and will take
his authority from the statutes Of the
state. His only reason, he asserts, for
printing the name Of Ames upon the
last ballot was the fact that he could
not take knowledge of the fact that he
had become a nonresident, and that
could only be done by the matter be-
ing brought into court by another
candidate. The Minnesota constitu-
tion provides in two places for the
contingency. It is especially provided
that district Judge can only be
elected from the district In which he
lives Another section provides that
persons only can run for office who
sre legal voters in this district. Un-
der these sections Mr.. Scott will
leave Judge Dobbin's name of the
primary ballot az a candidate for dis
trict Judge.
