GIRL ON MAIL ROUTE.

Lena Mcbride, II Years Old, Has Re
sponsibIe Position at Colby.
AT the time the effort was made to
get H. n. Schen out of the penitentiary,
who was serving a two year sentence
for killing a GOOdland man, his seven
teeu-year-OId daughter, Eva Schell,
was given considerable newspaper note
because she was carrying mail for
Uncle Sam on a rural route in Sherman
county to earn money to keep the wolf
from the door of the children of an
imprisoned, father The mail route was
between GOOdland and NaviIle, two
trips being made a week. Rob ScheIl
was really the carrier, but was assisted
by his oldest sister Eva.
The heroic in Kansas women, as well
as in her men, is every now and then
found in the heart of a modest but de-
termined girl, and this time it is a
Thomas county girl, Lena Mcbride, II
years old, who makes a sixty-mile
drive three times a week carrying the
mail from Colby to Oak Ranch. She
is Kansas youngest mail carrier.
Miss Mcbride uses two horses on the
long journey, driving one fifteen miles
out from Colby and then changing for
another which she drives the remainder
of the distance. She eats dinner at
the ranch, then returns over the thirty
mile course, changing horses again at
the half way station. Her buggy has
become one of the familiar sights
along the way and cattle herders and
farmers all know her.
A few days ago she found that the
owner of a big ranch that lies between
Oak Ranch and Colby had run barbed
wire fence across the trail over which
she usually drove. To 60 around the
ranch was entirely OF the question
and she did not intend to 90 back to
her starting point. She took from her
buggy a pair of wire cutters and clipped
the four barbed strands that barred
her progress. The next trip she found
the fence repaired and again cut the
wires and left the gap open. The owner
Of the ranch demanded to know why
she did it.
81 am carrying the United States
mail, was the smiling reply, "and
am going through if can get through. "
The owner threatened arrest, but she
was not frightened. On the next trip
a new gate was found across the road
and she still uses the familiar trail on
her tri-weekly journey.

LIGHTNING sTRucK HARD.
The smaIIey' House Badly Damaged by
a Bolt Sunday Morning.

The SmaIIey' House Badly Damaged by
a Bolt Sunday Morning.
Lightning from the highly charged
storm of. Sunday morning cast a vicious
bolt upon the J. W. Smalley house, one
and one-half miles east of town, doing
so much damage to a part of the house
that repairing It will be something like
building an addition to the farmhouse.
The lightning spent its force on the
north L of the house, which isPaTtition--
ed of into a bed room, kitchen and a
pantry. On this part, the roof was
badly torn up, shingles torn of and
even the roof boards, studding and raj
ters were broken. Windows were bro
ken out, doors slivered, corner post
studding slivered and plastering knock
ed of the walls.
In the living room in another part
of the house, a mirror was thrown down
from the shelf and articles beside it
scattered about the rooms. The kitch-
en- stove was struck, the griddles blown
of and the atmosphere filed with par
ticles of ashes and SCOT. Ralph Small
fey was sitting in the kitchen near the
stove reading the Goodland Republic.
He was hurled as by a bomb from MS
chair clear out of the kitchen into the
bedroom and landed in the SCOT and
dust under the edge of the bed, but was
not seriously hurt.
House cleaning was more than the
term ordinarily implies, as a number of
wheelbarrOw loads of plaster and de
bris had to be taken out to clear the
floors. Several members of the family
happened to be out doors at the time
the lightning struck the house, and
happily, the incident passes without
the record of fatality.
The Smalley boys were in GOOdland
Monday buying glass, lumber and Plas-
tering material tO-Tepair the damage.

Body Pound I'm Tsrd by Her Brother
nike Pronislzf.
The body Of Mrs Anna Leach, who
has been living with her brother, Nike
Proniski, on his farm three miles north
west Of GoOdland, was found FRUSTRATED
on the ground in the door yard at $50
O'Clock Sunday afternoon by Mike
PrOniski, who was returning home from
Catholic services in GoOdland. Mrs.
Leech was lying face downward. and a
casual examination revealed the fact
that she was dead Clyde Douglas.

Proniski's, CHANGED to be passing by,
and stayed with the body while the
brother of the dead woman went to
town to notify the authorities.
DR.. A. c. Gulick, coroner, and Sher-
If Bradley went out to the Proniski
home Immediately upon receiving the
information, finding the body where it
had fallen, near the dOoryard gate lead
ing to the barnyard. The dead wo-
man was taken in charge and an ez-
animation made.
Mrs. Leech has been subject to cpl
lepsy for many years, and since it was
evident from the examination that she
had fallen in a fit and died of natural
causes, no inquest was considered nee
essary. The probable cause of death
was heart disease complicated with
epilepsy.
The funeral was held from the Cath
ole church Tuesday, and burial made
IN the Goodland cemetery.
The deceased was S. years of age,
and had been a widow for many years.
Her only son, Joe Leech, was drowned
one night several years ago on the
South Beaver about four miles from
town, las he was trying to cross the
stream in a food caused by a tremend-
Gus thunder storm.
Father Fleming, of the Catholic
church, Oficiated at the funeral, and
she was buried under the form and
rites of the church of which she had
been a member since childhood.

SOON TO BEGIN BUILDING
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK BLOCK TO
HAVE AEoTEER LARGE BRICK.
To Go Up on the KoIaney Lot Now Own
ed By Arpnsburg & Cullsn-The KO-
fancy Tailor Shop 20 he Removed
-Hest0n Brothers May Join

The building era Of GoOdland seems
still TO be at high noon mark, with no
immediate prospect Of a setting sun.
And the first building of importance to
90 up will be a large two story brick
on lots just south of the Coleman hard
ware store. When the people that
keep their ewes on the chessbOard Of
GOodIand's business life found out
last week that Arensburg & Cullen,
druggists, had acquired the KOlancy
property, they volunteered the state
ment that that meant building. They
knew that jim Cullen had been try
ing to get that lot for year but he
could never make deal with the tailor.
Just recently ". S. Coleman managed
to get hold of the Kolancy property for
$500, and since then the bare lot has
been sold to Arensburg & Cullen. A
reporter called upon Mr.. Cullin rela-
tive to the erection Of a building on
that lot, and, since he has always held
to the philosophy that doing something
is better than talking about it, the
than to make any statement what was
going to be done, threw out the sug-
gestiOn that next week would be
good time to report the matter when
something visible might be going on at
the new location. In this case, seeing
is very naturally put before believing,
but with the public it is different, for it
believes yet not having seen.
There seems to be no doubt that Jim
Cullen, or possibly the firm, will build
a twO-story brick, twenty-five feet 'front.'
age, on the Kolancy lot in the near
future; and that on the lot Immediately
south will be built a twenty-five foot
front, two story brick by John and
Marsh Heston. Arrangements will be
made to construct the buildings at the
same time, forming not two completely
separate bricks. but both so built as to
require but one wall between the build
ings.
Arensburg & Cullen will, of course,
use the first floor, the north IS feet for
their drug store. What the Heston
building will be used for is not yet been
limited to the public. But is said the
up stairs Of both buildings will be par
toned of for Offices.

RAILROAD SHOPS ARE CLOSED
SHUT DOWN WEDNESDAY, EvKETEe ~
NOTICE IRON EAsTKR MECHANIC.
with the Reduction Made Monday, About
Half Hundred Men Are Throun out OF
Empl0ymeat-Speculat On the
Reason OF the shut Down.

The back shops of the Rock Island
works here were shut down at six
O'Clock Wednesday by order of the
company through its Master Mechanic
W. W Leeman. Monday g men were
laid of, which, including the number
affected by the shut down, aggregates
about so employees. W. D. Van Scoyk,
OF the carpenter shop. nailed up the
doors after the men had laid down their
tools for the day.
In the afternoon the following notice
was posted at several places in the shops:
tOfice of Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific railway, GoOdland, Kan,
August 10, 1904.
''All Shop Employees:
With the closing whistle today the
shops viii be closed temporarily until
further notice. This is to avoid, if
possible, making any further reduction
in force Yours truly,
". W. LEEAIAN,
Master Mechanic. -
Constant discussion has been going
on as to the reason for this closing.
Some contend that It has a political
significance and can see the shadow of
hard times beneath the great hand of
the big corporations. Others say the
Rock Island is going in the hands of
the receiver, which seems to be more
reasonable. A receivership for the
Rock Island has been predicted for a
long time, and many freight cars going
through here have been stenciled
with the name of a mortgage company.
A temporary shutdown is all that is
looked for by the people here, and in
case of a receivership this might expedite
the placing of the road under new
control.
There IS work to be done for all of
the men that have been let out by the
closing of the shops, and railroad men
who know say that the Rock Island in
this part of the country is doing as -four
ishing business as at any time in its
history here. The necessity for shops
at this point is beyond question, and
repair to rolling stock can not be car
RED out in the round house alone,
neither would it be economical to send
much of the work that might be done
in the Goodland shops to their nam
moth shops at Moline III OF course the
company has not given a clear reason
for shutting down, but the fact remains
that the shops here are a part of the
necessary economy of maintenance in
the operation of the Rock Island in
western Kansas and in Color ado. And
the resumption of work here in a short
time is confidently looked for.

sRYAN's NEW ISSUE.
POstmastsrs should BE Elected BY Il
People, the Nebraskan says.

POstmastsrs Should Be Elected By the
People, the Eebrsslzan says.
In the COmmoner Of last Friday, Mr..
Bryan has an article favoring the cleo
ton Of POstmasters by the people. He
says:
why should a president be permit
ted to turn the Postofice department
into a partisan machine and use thous-
ands Of POstmasters as paid agents to
advance his political fortunes7 He
should not. Why should a member of
congress be permitted to build up a
personal organization composed of the
POstmasters recommended by him, but
paid by the government, and use this
organization to defeat other political
asPirants in his own party? He should
not Why should a chief executive be
permitted TO all the most frequented
Office in the community with a postmaster
objectionable to the community, and re-
ward him for his services with the mon
ey paid by the community? He should
not. Why should the Great Father at
" e-o4AAE -oA1 - L-AG 4AuAdLS Iell llA4t
be permitted to electioneer among the
colored voters of the north by appoint
ing black pOstmasters in the south
against the protest Of the patrons of the
Office? He should not.
And yet all these things are openly
and VIGOROUSLY done to-day The cleo
ton Of pOstmasters by the people whom
they are to serve will correct all these
abuses. 1t is in harmony with demo-
cratic principles; it IS CONSTANT with
the doctrine of local self-government.
What objection can be raised to It?
Can a president be more intimately &C
quainted with the aspirant than the
community and a better judge of their
qualifications? Is he more interested
than the community in prompt, honest
and efficient service? By leaving the
the removal and rejection
for cause in the hands of the president,
but by restriction Of appointment to a
list furnished by the community, the
the rights and interests of both the fed
eraI government and the various COM
munities can be protected. Presidents
and congressman will then run on their
own merits and not on the machines
which they have built up; the public
service will be improved and cOmmuni-
ties will be protected from the imposi-
tons that are now PTacticed upon them. |

Walter Runt Can File on Rosebud Claim
II he Wants TO-Drew No. 1910.
In reporting last week the fate of the
GOOdlaud people in the drawing for
Rosebud Indian lands, at Chamberlain,
S. D., this paper said that not any of
the GOOdland people were successful,
which happened to be true with one ex-
cePtion. Walter Hunt, a conductor in
the freight service of this division, drew
No. 1910, and will have the privilege of
fling on a Rosebud claim if he wants
to. His number came out pretty well
down the list, but maybe he can find a
desirable piece of land and become a
farmer.

The barn to the rear of the John

and burned to the ground. The flames
were well under way before discovered
and little attempt was made to save the
building because that was next to i'm
possible. With the building burned a
couple of saddles and some other ar
ticles. The origin of the fire is IN
known, but it is thought to have been
started by some boys playing with fire
or lighting cigarettes. The loss amounts
to about 500.
