Cadott. Attempts to revive him have

Convicted of Mans1aughter.

Frank Birkle of st. Nazianz, who has
been on trial in Manitowoc charged with
murder. was found guilty of manslaugh-

was out all night. The penalty is from
four to seven years in the penitentiary.
Birkle shot and killed Louis Bahrs of
Kiel at st. Nazianz, on the night of Oct.
10, in saloon alteration. The strong
est evidence against Birkle was his ad-
mission that after the first trouble he
had left the saloon, returning to his home
and securing a revolver, which he had
on his person when he again visited the
saloon. Birkle is 81 years of age. His

MONEY BY MAIL.
Amply Protected by Registration, but
Not by Special Delivery Stamp.


Not by Special Delivery Stamp.
The recent discovery of the post
office inspectors of New York City
that mail clerks have been stealing
letters bearing special delivery stamps,
and that many of these missives have
contained large sums of money, has
revealed to the department that there
is, apparently, pretty general miscon-
ception in the public mind as to the
function of the special delivery sys-
tenn. The arrest of one mail clerk in
that city, in whose pocket were found
several bank notes that had been
marked and placed in a decoy special
delivery letter, furnished proof for a
suspicion the inspectors had enter
tanned for several months.
'The special delivery stamp placed
on letter." said an official in the de-
partment, "does not mean any more
security of the letter than there is
for any ordinary letter People seem
to believe that because the charge for
the same and for other reasons vary
ing with different persons, letter is
guarded as closely when it bears a
special delivery stamp as when it is
registered.
This is not true. A registered let
ter is watched over during it's entire
trip, from the time it is mailed until
it reaches its addressee, each clerk or
postmaster receiving it into his Gus
tody giving receipt and taking one
when he surrenders it to another. The
only receipt required in the trans
portation of special delivery letter
is from the addressee. If the letter
does not reach him there is no means
Of tracing it. The receipt he signs is
not so much to insure the safe deliv-
cry Of the letter as to furnish a record
for the department, none being made
when the special delivery stamp is
sold. OF course, it serves, too, to keep
tab on the special delivery mail car
rier, the time it is given to him and
the time it is delivered at it's destina-
ton being closely marked. During the
trip each special delivery letter is
placed on top of bunch Of letters and
not buried in it, and each clerk must
use all effort to speed it on it's way.
But this does not mean much addi-
tional safety for the letter EN- route"
continued the official, according to the
New York Times ''The misunder-
standing that it does has led hundreds,
yes, | believe thousands, to put spe-
cial delivery stamps on valuable pack
ages when such packages should have
been registered. In the postOffice de-
partment, as we'll as in every other
department of business, there is here
and there a crooked clerk, and he
has not failed to learn Of this. The re-
suit has been that we have had hun
dreds Of complaints of the disappear
ance of special delivery letters. We
are conducting a thorough investiga-
ton and hope to ferret out those who
lave been robbing the mails. But it
would be better to relieve the temp
tation and secure safety in the first
instance by inducing the people to re-
frain from sending valuable packages
and letters containing money by spe-
cial delivery, but to use instead the
registry system"

Battles with Wildcat.

Farmers living in the eastern portion of
Calumet and the western portion of Man

late by the depredations of wildcats.
Many dogs have been killed, fowls and

Henry Kautzer, who lives two miles from
st. Nazianz, in battle in which he final
ly slew the beast, was terribly clawed
about the face by one Of the cats.

dusk. when a carriage, evidently from
the country. drove up to the door Of
"Anson King. Stationer," and young
woman alighted and entered the little
shop
She asked to see some thin station
cry, and after selecting what she de-
sired she hesitated for a moment.

Certainly. madam" said the station
er. with great promptness. Are you

''Nno." said the young woman.
''Ah, a clergyman's daughter. then. ="
said the stationer as he began to tie
up the paper in a neat package.
"N-no," said the young woman. Then
she leaned across the counter, and
spoke in a confidential and thrilling
whisper: But if nothing happens I

4 ROW ON BETWEEN
TELEPHONE SYSTEMS

Speaking of the new telephone prof.
been made to discredit the Automatic
Telephone system, by circulating
through the mail, an article written
by manufacturer of the Manual Te1e-
phone apparatus and of course a re-
Vival of the Stronger Automatic sys-
tenn, to which, the best answer seems
10 be the fact that the Stronger Au-
tomato system has been installed in
more than sixty cities of the United
States, from Portland, Maine. to Los
Angeles, Cal.
In Chicago about 10000 subscribers
have already been secured by the
company operating the Stronger Au-
tomato system, in Dayton. Ohio, 5000,
and in Columbus. Ohio. there is a sys-
tenn with 5000 subscribers.
The annual report of the Citizens
Telephone Co. of Grand Rapids. Mich,
shows that the capital stock issued
has increased from $4,000 in 1896 TO
S1.609.2S0 in 1904, in its city service it
had SS2 telephones in use in 1896, and
IN 1904, with its country connections, it
had 16.3SS telephones in use.
This company is a purely cooper
atiye company (such as it is desired TO
establish here in Honolulu), and was
formed by the citizens of Grand
Rapids who wanted a reliable telephone
service which the then existing Bell
Telephone Co. had not been giving.
and notwithstanding the fact that the
Bell Co. in order to crush its infant
rival offered to put in new instruments
rent free for three years, local patriot
ism looked beyond the present and
