QUITS TALKING SENATOR DEPEW, NOTED FOR INTERVIEWS AND STORIES,
 A SPHINX.
Refuses Either to Affirm or Deny the Report That He has Resigned
 His Seat.

New York, Dec. 5.-'l am tired of making denial, to unpleasant ques- ticus. an. resolved not to talk fur ,her to the newspapers will deny nothing nor will affirm anything. l nave learned a lesson from the past
 This statement which came from the ps of United States Senator Cilauncey Mitchell Depew, was even more startling to his old acqutaint- ances that an announcement that he had decided to resign every office he holds. For it was through the inter- views that he gave freely to all who came and the countless stories that he told in his postprandial speeches that Senator Depew achieved fame.
 Hitherto there as been no public man more affable and willing to talk for publication than Senator DepeW lie has been willing to see reporters at tines when other men would send cnr message that they Were engaged. Now this is all changed, Chauncey is a sphinx.
 Takes Cue From Platt.
 Before sealing his lips forever however, the junior senator from New York. dropped a "t.p' which may explain his action.
 "Reporters used to go to Senator Platt." he said, with their questions, but he grew tired of figuring in all sorts of idle gossip. Finally he ac- ouired the habit of consign;ng them 10 anoth6r locality that is warmer than New York
 All this came about because of the rapidly growing rumor that Senator Depew had resigned his seat in the upper house of congress. The sen

 Postoff:ce Patrons.


 Editor of the Pine Bluff Graphlc' oi'S Tear Sir: I would appreciate II vou womb k ndly publish the follow ing in your valuable paper for the hest interests of the patrons of lhls office:
 Notice.
 As the holiday season appfoacHeS tat=e t,,js means to reque st all pa irons of this office who desire to send gifts to relatives or friends to 1or- eia1, ,ountl es to do so at least h1teeh days before the holidays, as at thl9 lime of the year the division of tor eicn mails at the postoffices at Ne" York. San Francisco, Detroit, st. Louis. etc., are gong to be conges'eo to such an extent that a considerable delay in transmission might occur. TO prevent this, this timely notice is given.
 invite the publics attention to the fact, also, that all carr!ers m residence districts will accept parcels, letters. etc, for registration if prop erly prepaid by stamps and the addl- tional registry fee of eight cents. These carriers must issue the proper receipt for them, and are as safe Ill their hands as if they would be brought to the office. l urge that patrons in residence districts take advantage of this method, and there- by save probably long waiting at the office.
 Any inattention by employees, car riers especially, in this matter will ..eca ve due attention If complaint Is made.
 Sail and packages intended for eastern large cities womb receive prompt delivery if mailed and dis patched not later than December 2l, as the accumulation ot mail on trains at this time of year is unusually heavy in the east, and especially mail intended fer large cities. This is merely a suggestion.
 ask the cooperation of the pa irons of this office so that no delay may occur in the delivery of mail matter intended for Chr stmas gifts and that it may arrive in time. Yours very truly,
 FRED C. FTRTH. Postmaster.

is the height of absurdity, as a self.
expression. The sky laughs at us.
We know it when we look in a tele-
scope. Time and space are Gods
jokes. Looked at strictly in its outer
language. the whole visible world is a
joke To suppose that God has ever
expressed himself to us in it. or that
he could express himself in it, or that
any cne can express anything in it,
is not to see the point of the joke.

ROD AND GUN CLUB
Meeting To Be Held This Week By
Njmr0dS of lewistOwn

A movement Is on foot to organize
a rod and gun club in Lewistown for
the purpose of creating an interest In
the preservation of fish and game and
seeing that the game laws are strictly
adhered to. Trap shooting contests
will be held under the auspices of the
organization and the general purposes
of a rod and gun club will be followed.
Sam Weaver and Frank Ware were
among the first to propose the form
ing of the organization and large
number of the disciples of Nimrod
have already ranged shemselves under
their banner with tue result that a
sufficient amount of interest has been
aroused to justify the holding OF a
meeting for the purpose OF orgar1iz-
ing The club, when in full running
order will undoubtedly be Of great
benefit to the county in the way of
stopping the violation of the game
laws, attending to the trout fisheries
and generally acting as a curb upon
those who kill game and fish in an
unsportsmanlike manner.
AS Nimrod's disciples are always
among the best of good fellows, it is
conceded that the social side of the
organization will leave nothing to be
desired.
1t is thought by some o. the gentle
men already interested that the fair
grounds may be used for trap shooting
purposes. The enterprise is one which
deserves the financial and moral sup
port of the community and the opin-
ion is that the 'Lewistown Rod and
Gun Club will be an entire success.

Petition the Railroad Company to
Change Name of Ubet Station.
Helena, Mont, March Is,

Helena, Mont, March Is, '05.
To Whom it May Concern:
When the Montana Railroad located
the station now known as Ubet, there
seemed to be diversity of opinion as
to what its name should be. 1t was
our desire to preserve the old geo.
graphical name, and at the same time
to conform as nearly as possible to the
wishes of the people who were inter-
ested. The name of "Ubet" had been
on the map of Montana since about
1882, and had become identified with
the Judith Gap. We made numerous
inquiries and decided that the name
Ubet would be more satisfactory to a
majority of those interested. The
name was therfor adopted.

The political hangers on of the party
are doing considerable outpost duty,
but with what satisfaction TO the
party is only known to the inmOst
bunch of the inner circle. There Is
absolutely no slate to the democratic
party and the issue of the convention
is absolutely in the hands of the dele

Dear Sir:
Referring to the article in
your last issue, criticiSing the man.
agement of the Montana Railroad for
changing the location of Straw Sta
tion let me say:
Before the Montana Railroad was
constructed, we made definite agree
ment with the owners of the land at
Straw, for a certrin tract at certain
price for townsite purposes. Town
site facilities are almost as important
to railroad as station grounds.
Depending upon this contract, we
located our station, built side track.
section houses, etc. When we called
upon the land owners to fulfill their
parts of the contract, they declined
to do so. thereupon notified every
body who seemed to be interested in
that particular location, that the sta
tion would likely be moved. We let
the matter drift for nearly year,
when we decided that something def
mite would have to be done, and as
the owners of the land persisted in
their refusal to comply with the con-
tract, moved the station to point
where we could get the necessary ia
cilities. Railroad companies are not
interested in the real estate features
of small townsite, except insofar as
they are necessary to the economical
operation of the railroad. We keer
our agreements and we want other
people to keep theirs. The preset sit
uation is brought about by the failure
to keep an agreement to sell land
not to give it away,

St. Petersburg, March IS, l:50 a. m.
Decided anxiety is felt regarding
the fate of the Manchurian army un-

military developments during the last
three days having been received. The
only dispatches from the front are the
brief announcements yesterday that
General Linevitch had assumed COM

of rumor that Kuropatkin had COM
mitted suicide, and the Associated
Press Changtufu dispatc h filed the

the station of Kaiyuan, which was
then held by the Russians. In this
correspondents opinion no pause in
the Japanese advance is probable for
some time. The Russians are losing
heavily in the rear guard actions, and
Japanese9 columns are reported to be
pushing northward as fast as possible
to complete the enveloping movement
of the Russians.
