POSTOFFICE OFFICIALS
 MAY HAVE A CLASH
Postmaster General Wynne Makes Sweep ing Change Among the lnspectors-Says He is Acting for Best Interests of Service-Fourth Assistant Bristow Is Opposed to the New Order and Will Fight

Washington, Jan 12.-Postmaster- General Wynne has issued an order transferring the entire corps of post. office inspectors from the jurisdiction ot the fourth assistant postmaster-gen eral and placing them immediately un- der the postmaster-general.

The order is effective next Monday. It affects over 200 men scat. tered throughout the country who ever since the creation of the office. of fourth assistant postmaster-general have been under the complete direction of that official. The order is one of the most important issued by the postoffice de- partment for long period and may create significant developments.

THE GOOD
 FLEETWOOD.
It's The Popular Favorite
 Everywhere.

On all sides you can hear the praise of the Glenwood Range and we'll you might. for the Glenwood is the one stove that housekeepers like all the time. Glenwoods don't cost any moro than other kinds since the HampsoD- Sellew store took the agency. There- fore the Glenwood is the stove to buy. There is at very conservative esti- mate between two and three thousand Glenwood Ranges in use in Water. bury, a strong testimonial to the pop Illarity of 1t. Glenwoods can be bought at the Hampson-Sellew store as low as 5000, and the grades run in gradual advances of a dollar or so up to S60O0. The Glenwoods ranging in price from $35OO to S45.OO are ex- tremely popular, and are from five to ten dollars less than the same grades used to be sold for before the Hamp- son-Sellew Co put them on sale. Be sure to get a Glenwood, and you are going to be pleased now, and in tha years and years to come.

IN SUPERIOR COURT.
Miss Rooney Told Her Story Ts The
 Judge To-Day.

The Rooney vs Woolworth case is still on before Judge Roraback in the superior court. The plaintiff was on the stand till noon and then Dr Henry c. Anderson went on. He was strong witness for the defense. Most of the questions asked him were hy pothetical and many of them were yard long. It is admitted that the plaintiff sustained the fall in the way she alleges, that is. as she was leaving the defendants store she stepped into an open cellar way. But contributory negligence is the main point of the de fense. it being maintained that had she been ordinarily careful she would have seen the open cellar way by the light from the restaurant open.

FOG, RAIN. ICE.
Dasiness h New York Was Paralyzed
 AfAin To-Day.

New York. Jan PA light rain which continued through the night. freezing as it struck the ground. by to- day had transformed the streets of this city into q great skating rink. Pedestrians, transportation lines an,; horses in street traffic found them selves alike practically helpless. A dense fog which settled over the city during the night added to the serious ness of the situation and harbor traffic suffered almost as seriously as the land transportation lines. The fog com bined with the ice coated rails to dis arrange schedules on elevated and sur. face lines and thousands of persons were from ten minutes to half an hour late in reaching their places of bust ness. The icy sidewalks made walking hazardous and many severe falls were experienced It was the horses. how ever. that suffered most severely Oi, account of the icy pavements
 The blanket of fog continued to hang ever the city during the forenoon. and as the temperature remained near the freezing point. the improvement in condition was very slow.

SHOOTS DEFENSE
Attorney Holzheimer Called to Stand to Tell. About
 Political Conditions.

Washington, Jan 12-The defense in the Senator Shoot Investigation be- fore the senate committee on privil- eges and elections to-day called to the stand r. H. Holzheimer, a lawyer of Pocotelo, Idaho. He lived in Utah about 20 years before going to Idaho about two years ago. He belongs to the Episcopal church and said he al ways had been democrat except for a time in Utah when, in common with all Gentiles, he belonged to the Liberal party.
 The examination of Mir Holzheimer was confined almost entirely to politi- cal conditions in Idaho. He was a member of the last democratic conyen- tion which adopted an anti-Mormon plank and served on the resolutions committee. He declared that he had opposed plank flor the extermina- tion of polygamy and polygamous CO., habitation and the separation of church and state" on the grounds that no plank of that character was need ed as there had been no plural mar riages in the state since the manifesto. The witness said majority of the delegates were opposed to the plank but that the resolution was forced on the convention because it was under stood that former Senator Heitfeld, who had been endorsed for governor, had made pledge to the national con vention that it should be adopted. Afterward he was nominated by the convention for congress, but declined to run because the party leaders pro- posed to conduct campaign against the Mormon church. These leaders called it campaign of purification of Idaho homes.
