Judge Conner, OF Denison,
congressman from the Tenth
district, has introduced a bill
which affects the interests of
very many of our people. The
bill is to permit the mailing of
packages not to exceed five
pounds in towns for delivery
only on the R. F. d. route run
ming from that town at the rate
of 5 cents per pound for the
first pound and 3 for each subse
quent pound. Local business
men are very much pleased
with the plan. This arrange:
ment would enable the farmer
to order goods to his point of
departure from his rural route
and receive the same at IL cents
f Or five pounds, or for what one
pound costs at the present post
age rate of / cent per ounce.
If connected by telephone the
farmer would be able at night
to order goods and receive them
the next forenoon at a cost
that would be less than the
wear and tear on his buggy and
team, to say nothing of the loss
of time. Judge Conner has re-
ceived much encouragement and
hopes to get the bill through.
The big department stores in
the cities are against it but the
local merchants are for it. We
hope it will pass.

Sioux City pleased with Bluffs
quick response.
Run t. burning town was %
miles In 95 minutes.

Nonparel, Dec. 25. Cheers
from thousands of voices went
up when the special train bear
ing the Council Bluffs fire crew
apparatus and officials pulled
into Sioux City Friday night in
responce to an appeal for help
in fighting that conhagration.
1t is estimated that at least
1000 people, some frightened
and some curious, gathered
around the Northwestern depot
to wait the coming of the
Council Bluffs special train.
Chief Nicholson and his crew
arrived within two hours after
the call for help was sent out,
but by that time the fire was
under control and instructions
were rushed to the depot that
the hose cart and 700 feet of
hose would not be needed. How
ever the Council Bluffs firemen
were greeted as a godsend by
the citizens of the sister city.
When they arrived the Sioux
City firemen were nearly ex-
hausted, and Firemen Cochran
Oliver, Hough, Bayne and
Walker were Immediately dis
patched to take their places.
They worked until nearly day
light, by which time fire fight
ing relaxed.
Made Remarkable Tim e.
Remarkable time was made
by the special train bearing the
crew to Sioux City. The train
left the Northwestern station at
1901, after a delay of five
minutes to give Mayor Macrae
time to get to the station and
join the crew. The train arriv-
ed in Sioux City at 1876 just
1::35 minutes from the time
they started. This establishes a
record of ninety-eight miles in
ninety-five minutes. The run to
Missouri Valley was made in
twenty -four minutes, and from
point the train had a clear track
stopping only once for water at
Mondamin. A very brief stop
was made at Onawa, where a
regular passenger train was
sidetracked for the special.
The fast run made by the
special was a topic of much dis
cussion in the railroad yards
and offices yesterday. The en-
gine was in charge of John
Wells, one of the most reliable
engineers in the emloye of the
Northwestern.

to the Republican National COnven-
tion, he will be of great service to his
constituents in the District, and to
the race throughout the country. He
is a vigorous fighter, a shrewd politi-
cal strategist, but is respectful to his
opponents, never referring to them in
unkind terms, nor allowing his
friends to do so if he can prevent it.
He stands we'll with the administra-
tion, and holds recommendations
from such men as Judge Pritchard,
Hon. J. w. Babcock, Hon. Stephen B.
EIkins, Mr.. Thos. H. Mckee, the late
President Mckinley and Senator Han
ma, the Hons. Thos. Little, J. NJ. Brow
er, Richmond Pearson, Judge Adams,
Rev. A. S. Billingsley, and a recon-
mendation signed by many white and
colored Republicans, among them be-
| ing Recorder John G. Dancy.
Mr.. Poe mingles freely with the
masses of the people, which is much in
his favor. They feel that they would
at all times be able to meet and con-
fer with him about District matters.
His record is clean, his race pride
strong, his literary qualifications are
fine, and he is unassuming and has
little to say unless occasion require
him to speak
He is peculiarly fitted for delegate
to the Chicago Convention because he
would have to lose no time to learn
what to do as he is well versed in the
work of deliberative bodies. No dele
, gate would enter the convention
| better equipped for the duties to b'
, performed where all of the best brain

He is a member of Metropolitan A

Viewpoint--Hon. James w. Poe
Candidate for Delegate.

In keeping with the policy of The
COlored American, all of the news will
be printed each week in it's columns
anent District politics
There is much doing in political
way and there are many candidates in
the field. Pictures and sketches of
them will be printed each week, and
our readers will enjoy a rare treat.
The subject of the sketch this week
is Hon. James w. Poe, who halls from
North Carolina, but who has lived in
this city for many years.
He served with distinction in the
Legislature of his native State, the
last time being in the session of 1883.
Hon. Lee S. Overman, now United
States Senator, was at that time
member of the State Legislature, Of
North Carolina. Mr.. Poe is a strong
race man and a true Republican, who
once said in a speech: "L am Negro
first, with all that stands for the man
, hood and womanhood of my race, and
then | am a Republican. Twill re
sent any grievous insult to my people
let it come from whom it may. An in
