TO MEASURE ROUTES.
Carriers to be Supplied With Special
Kind of Cyclometers.


Rural free delivery carriers are be-
ing supplied with continuance for
measuring their routes, in order that
the postoffice department may be
enabled to adjust salaries and other
matters on an ednable basis. The
machine is a bicycle wheel. larger in
diameter than the ordinary wheel,
and having attached co it CYCLIC
meter. 1t is accurate. because it re-
cords the actual distance travelled bv
the vehicle to which it is attached,
and not the length of the main roads.
If the wagon is Obliged to go around a
mud hole the faithful cyclometer re-
cords the fact, and the distance thus
forced upon the horse and the driver
by bad road is placed to the credit
of both.
There are about l0c of the machines
in operation now, and more are being
purchased and distributed whenever
the demands of the service call for
them. 1t will therefore be compare
lively small matter for the depart.

ured and the many thousand miles

The farmer sits beside the fire,
enjoying all his hearts desire; all
care and trouble he forblds, as he

matters down in Panama. but on
his face there comes a frown, as
hogs, he sees, keep going DOWN. ~

IRREGULARITY rs FOUND
Appointment Of Election Judges Attacked
by the Democrats Of an I'LL
nois County.

Bloomington, ILL.,, Oct 1s.-An ir-
regularity in the appointment Of eiec-
ton judges for Mclean county for the
November election may tnvalidate the
result. The Democrats allege that at
the last session of the board OF super
visow section 33, chapter 46. of the
revised statutes of Illinois was vio-
lated by the Republicans It provides
that mo more than two persons OF
the same political party shall be ap-
pointed judges of the same. election
district or precinct"
In Bloomington township the super
visors appointed a solid Republican
board of election, and the Democrats
assert that in other townships the
same condition of affairs exists. It is
probable that proceedings will be
brought to have Democratic represent
alton on the boards. or if this is re-
fused an effort will be made to have a
special election

George 81. Pratt. head hog buyer for
Armour, In a recent interview In
Breeders Gazette says that the great
majority Of farmers treat their hogs no
better than twenty years ago. The
prevalent immunity from disease is
due solely to scarcity Of corn. That
article of feed has been scarce for
three years In succession, and It has
been given to hogs sparingiy in conse-
quence. Give us a bumper yield Of
corn, and It will be thrown to hogs as
recklessly as ever, and mortality will
increase rapidly. Canada. never has
sick hogs for the simple reason that
It Is not surfeited with corn.

/ "A friend inquiries why so many
of the oak trees are dying all over
the country the. past few years.
The cause is mainly. found in the
fact of settlement and the occup-
ancy of land for farming purposes.
This process upsets forest condi-
tons, the tramping of stock and
the growth of matted blue grass
robs the tree of moisture, and it
falls an easy victim to drought.
Theback oaks go first, followed by
the death of the bur oak, one of
our hardest trees. It is not climatic
condition which cause the death of
the trees, but civilization.

The Dat Crop.

Careful watch should be kept Of the
oat crop If intended for feed. It should
be cut in the dough. No grain will
then be lost by Smelling out and the
straw will be worth much more as a
feed. If oats are to be used for seed
they should, Of course, be thoroughly
matured.

Word came to the sheriff's office
Saturday that team of horses and
top buggy had been stolen the night
before at Dubuque, giving descrip-
ton in detail, with instructions to
arrest and hold the two young
men in charge. They were appre-
hended at Falrplay before they got
this far by East Dubuque officers,
giving their names as Rube Balm
bridge and Ed KEGS and were taken
to Dubuque and placed in county
Jail on charge Of horsestealing. The
young men reside near Fairplay.
w. S. Lathrop, the Lancaster
caterer, held his opening reception
in his new apartments yesterday.
The High School Orchestra furnished
music from a platform at the rear
of the diningroom, and large
numbers of Mr.. Lathrops patrons
called to wish him success in his
new location. Each one was pre-
sented with some article which
they might select from the stock of
goodies on hand as souvenier of
the occasion. The Lathrop restaur-
ant as it stands today outclasses
anything of it's kind in southern
Wisconsin or northern Illinois,
both in appearance and excellence
of service.
Complaint has been made of the
quality and quantity of the grub
served to students at the State
School for the Blind at GAINESVILLE,
OF which institution G. R. Showal-
ter is superintendent, and an ofic-
ial investigation will follow. The
dailies Immediately took the matter
up and, as would be expected, car
ried it into politics. The Free Press
naturally terms Supt. Showalter a
stalwart, which statement is as far
from being the truth as a great
portion of the trash that rag dishes
up daily. Think of it, A. stalwart
holding position in a state institu-
ton under the governor and his
board of control! We know moth.
ing in regard to the charges made
against Mr.. Showalter, but we do
know that side issue of several of
his recent visits to Lancaster was to
quietly look after the governors
fences here-and it's expected Of
him so to do.
