kind of drama that shows the honest,
noble hearted people of the Swedish

introduced during the action OF the
play by Mr.. Erickson.

RULED BY CIVIL SERVICE
Rural Mail Carriers Must Be Exam.
ined BY Local Boards.
From Thursdays Daily.

GAVIN AhoACNSy Dy'
Rural mail carrier service has just
been placed under the direct control of
the civil service. Heretofore, all candi-
dates for the position of rural mail car
! rier were examined under the super
vision of the rural route inspectors by
whom the papers with appropriate rec
concentrations were sent on to the civil
service board at Washington. Hereafter
the candidates are to be examined as
all other candidates for office under civil
service, under the supervision of the To-
cal secretary, j. F. Herold.
The local postal authorities yester-
day received from the rural carrier ex-
amining board at Washington circu-
lar, stating the rules for the carrier
examinations, as follows:
No person is eligible to an examination
who does not live within the territory
supplied by this postoffice or to be sup
piled through the establishment of rural
free delivery service already investigated
by the post office department.

States.
Who is under seventeen years of age
or over ffty-fve years except in cases

Cost of Rural Free Delivery.

1t is reported from Washington that
the postoffice appropriation bill this year
will carry an appropriation of about
$4,000, 900. One of the most important
items is that relating to rural free de-
livery. An appropriation of about $22,-
100000 will be made available for this
service. 1t will cost the government
$l9,000,OO0 yearly to maintain the rural
routes in operation on July l next, and
this appropriation will permit of the es-
tablishment of 5000 additional routes.
Increased salaries for rural carriers will
run the appropriation up to $22,00O,0OO if
500 year additional is granted.
1t has been decided by the committee
to report favorably on the proposition to
increase compensation, but the amount
has not been definitely determined. Some
members of the committee favor an in
crease of $50 a year, but others urge
that at least 500 should be granted.
From present indications the latter figure
will be agreed upon.
1t is estimated by the postal experts
that the, deficit for the next fiscal year
will aggregate $s,OOO,OOO. The expenses
on account of the postal service are con-
stantly increasing, and a corresponding
increase in the revenues is noted. The
postal bill last year carried $l52, 100000.
Most of the increase this year will be
on account of rural free delivery. The
rural free delivery is fixture. The
people living in the country must have it
and the price paid must not be taken
into account The rural residents are
entitled to these luxuries. Those people
are a part of the great body polite and
they contribute their full share toward
the maintenance of the general govern
ment.

COMPLAIN OF SERVICE.
Madison Lake Residents Not Pleased
With Freight Traffic.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Madison Lake, Feb 4.-Shippers are
finding great deal of fault with the
freight service now being furnished at
this station. Dan Brown shipped load
of hogs Tuesday evening, which should
have arrived in South St. Paul at seven
o'clock the next morning, but did not
arrive until 80 in the afternoon. A
shipper generally strikes lower market
under such circumstances, besides losing
on extra shrinkage. 1t is hoped that the
freight service will be reformed soon.
T. A. Haigh, formerly editor of The
New Era here, now of Cogswell, N. D..

yesterday, He reports business in his

Southwick remained few days longer.

Too Many Youthful Criminals.

The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune is
shocked over the number of boyish Grim
inals that are coming to thessurface. 1t
Is enough to shock any one to read of
the number of youths that has been
rounded up by the police departments of
various cities. Here, there and every
where boys not yet out of their teens,
are under arrest for the most atrocious
of crimes-murder, and thievery, and
robbery; and other offenses against So.
ciety. The horrid deeds committed by
the Chicago car barn murderers were fol-
lowed by the unearthing of more than
one gang of youthful desperadoes in Gin
cinnati. engaged in series of robberies,
and only stopping short of murder. But
recently another Chicago boy, not yet
seventeen years old, coolly admitted that,
with companion younger than himself,
he had robbed till and murdered the
proprietor-and the bloody body of the
proprietor shows that he was murder
ed. while his broken till corroborated the
story told by the boy. A few days since
four boys, none older than seventeen,
were anester at Buffalo, charged with
the robbery of a grocery and the murder
of the proprietor. And again there is a
bloody body and a broken till to corro-
borate the confessions of the four muir
derers. What is the matter?
Alienists and penologists and philan-
thopists continue to discuss the question
of heredity as applicable to the youth
full criminals, of whom there appears to
be large stock on municipal hands just
now. But it might be better if the pencil
igists and the alienists and the philan-
thropists would look to the environment
of the city boy, and bend their efforts at
change in that regard, leaving the ques-
tion of heredity to attend to itself. Less
street roaming at night, fewer lurid
dime novels of easy access, advance in
tenement construction, strict enforce
ment OF the truanC laws ana large Qe-
gree of PARENTAL supervision and control
would work wonders. Something is
wrong somewhere, and discussion of alb
struse questions will not tend very large
ly to righting the wrong Another thing,
the sentimental gush INDUCED in by law
yers in their pleas before juries and
boards of pardon, resulting in the free
ing of desperodoes, has tendency to
cause boys to regard rime-committing
as an heoric act. If criminologists would
deal in less theories and act along prac-
teal lines some good might be done in
the way of preventing youngsters from
going to the bad.

LOOKING FOR MORE FEES.
State Game Commission Wants All
Hunters Licensed.

From Thursdays Daily.
The game and fish commissioners an
nual report to the governor, prepared to-
day, recommends the extension of the Ii
cense system for hunters of small game.
to residents of the state as we'll as non
residents.
1t is pointed out that the state of Wis
consin receives $4,000 year from game
licenses, sufficient to pay all expenses OF
the game board. In Minnesota the reve-
nue. amounts to only about $4,000.
If this recommendation be followed
the commission could double the number
of game wardens employed and increase
the protection of game greatly.
During 1908, 500 resident hunters of
big game were licensed, and 344 non
residents. During the season, 5000 deer
are estimated to have been shot.
The commission destroyed 10000 nets
in rivers.
The commission urges that the United
States government should cooperate
with the Canadian government in build
ing fish hatchery in the Lake of the
Woods.
The capacity of the new fish hatchery
at Glenwood is intended to be 100000
600 pike fry.
1t is estimated that nonresident hun
tiers each year bring into the state $780,
600 in money spent here.
The total expenditures of the board
last year were $2S,l5S.

had covering of one inch of frost for
upwards of month. Mr.. Dumbeck is
an old resident of this county, and is
one of the successful farmers of the
southern part of the county.
