Runaway Accident

John Noble very nearly lost his
life Monday afternoon near the old
dipping corrals. John is camptend-
er for Sam Galloway and had start
ed for town from the corrals with
his team. In some manner the
neckyoke became detached from the
wagon tongue, the latter burying
itself deep in the earth and tossing
the front end of the wagon high
in air. Just as the wagon box was
highest in air the horses broke into
a furious gallop, dragging the driver
from his seat to the earth, who
struck the ground, face foremost,
with terrific force, rendering him
unconscious, and he remained in a
dazed condition until his wounds
had been dressed by Drs. Smith
and Mather, about s o'clock that
night. His severest injury is in
the face, his right cheek being bad
lv bruised and cut and part of
his mustache being scraped away
as cleanly as if done with a razor.
He. is otherwise painfully bruised,
but no bones are broken.

FOR POSTAL
SERVICE

Washington. Nov. 21.-Postmast er Gen
eral Cortelyou recently completed and
forwarded To the secretary OF the treas
ury the estimates for the postoffice de-
partment for the fiscal year ending june
20. 1907. They show n reduction Of eN-
penses wherever Il Is believed It will not
impair tho service, but provision for de-
veiopment OF postal facilities to meet the
growing needs OF all sections Of the coun-
try.
The estimates for the postal service
at laree--the field service-aggregate 1898, =
co., 900, an Increase over last years ap-
preparation OF about 12.Coo.oo0. This In
crease represents the normal growth OF
the service based upon what the postal
authorities regard as the most careful and
conservative estimates.
The principal items in the Increase are
the rural delivery service, railroad mail
service, compensation to postmasters and
their clerks and the compensation for
letter carriers.
For the maintenance OF the rural de-
livery service and It's proper
over SO. 200, GOO will he required. This Is
an increase Of S3,Gc0.ooo over the appro-
p~riation for the current year.
The estimates for tho railway mail and
railway mail transportation call for an
increase OF about So. sCo.o 600 over the cur
rent appropriation.
To provide for the compensation of
postmasters and clerks I'm p~ostohices an
Increase Of nearly 100000 will be neces-
sary for the coming year and Tor city
letter carriers an increase OF more than
$500 900 will be needed.
That the extension OF the pneumatic
tube service is contemplated is shown by
the fact that the estimate carries S,S22,
600 more than the current appropriation.
A number OF other and comparatively
minor increases have been asked for In
order 20 alloy for the natural expansion
OF the service and 10 meet the constant
demand for improved postal facilities.
Curtailment has been recommended
wherever possible and many decreases arc
shown. OF which the following are ex-
amples:
Railroad transportaitno, special facili-
ties. Si67. 900: letter carriers new offices,
SIS. 600: free delivery service incidental ex-
penses. 800. 900; incidental expenses, rural
delivery. 5000; advertising schedules OF

PUBLICITY
PROMOTES
INTEGRITY

Albany. y. Y. Nov. 2l.-Bishop william
Crosswell Doane in his annual address
before the convention of the diocese OF
Albany. OF which he IL the head. dealt
with subjects Of interest to the diocese
and especially with those OF divorce and
the ethical preaching called for BY tho
times.
The bishops remarks on divorce had
special reference to The adoption by the
general synod OF the Canadian church Of
the following canon:
y Clergyman within the jurisdiction
OF the church OF England IN Canad shall
solemniZe a marriage TIVE persons
either OF whom shall have been divorced
from a person now living.
II could have wished, 20 said the bishop.
that We. upon whom the presence OF the
danger and the pressure of the duty are
set much more strongly thar upon the
Canadian church. could have led in this
movement. M ! ave great heart OF hope
thai we shall follow AZ our next con-
Vention." u
Bishop Boane remarked especially pom
the recent dictum Of Supreme Court Jus
tlcc w. j. Gaynor, that a civil decree OF
divorce has no effect upon the ecclesiasti-
cal bond of matrimony. az held by the
cnOfCn. WHOSE ODllRdllONs Dllu the parties
Said the bishop:
1T Is a strong, clear and timely state
ment. from which IL seems to me that 1t
Is only right for the church 10 take the
ground first, that only the state which
dissolves the marriage can rightly or safe
ly deal with the question OF remarriage.
and secondly that II the religious bond.
as Justice Gaynor says. is not severed by
the state. the church certainly cannot tie
that bond again where IT has not been dis
solved"
On the subject OF preaching called for
by the times the bishop said:
"In spite OF the headlines OF newspaper
sensationalism and the temporary one
sidedness which shields the taker OF a
bride. or the coward who can be In
nuenced by blackmail under the sweep
ing exposure OF the bride or OF the black
mailer. | believe the ventilation OF the
wrong done I'm public service Is an indica-
ton OF high standard OF official integrity
and a sounder state OF public opinion.
Nothing Is more dangerous and deadly
than concealed wrong. The bold and
constant insistence upon the ethics OF the
gospel as binding upon the conscience OF
every Christian man, rather than political
diatribe Of personal denunciation, IL the
duty OF the preacher of the gospel today
