Help From Mail Man.

Many people do not realize how
much more difficult and trying the
work of the rural letter carrier is
made by having to stop at number
of places on his route, delaying him
and benumbing his hands with the
cold at every such place, to gather
up pennies from the box, left there in
place of stamps for outgoing mail.
Winter means cold weather. Your
mail carrier is out in the cold from
five to seven hours, riding from twen-
ty to thirty miles a day, and is in need
of your consideration. With cold fin
gers it is hard to pick pennies out of
your box. Kindly buy supply Of
stamps and keep on hand to afix to
your letters when mailed. 2

pointed Senators Allison and Nor
gan as a committee to act with a
like committee from the house and
notify the President that the 59th
congress was ready for business.
The house and senate then adj
journed to await the Presidents
message, which was received the
next day. The message is of un-
usual length and touches upon
nearly every important subject
with which the government is con-
cerned AS was expected it deals
at much length with the subjects
OF railroad rate legislation, labor
and capital the Panama canal,
and Santo Domingo. The message
is very strong one and is receiv-
ing careful study.
Last Tuesday over three thous-
and bills we're introduced in the
house, but none were introduced in
the senate.
Congressman French has intro
duced bill providing an appro-
priation for public buildings at
Pocatello, Lewiston and Moscow
A bill to the same effect was intro
duced by him last year and it was
favorably reported by the house
committee on public buildings and |
grounds, but as the Omnibus bill |
in which appropriations for public
buildings are included was not per-
mitted to come up for passage, Mr..
French's bills, of course, failed to
pass. This year there is decided Il
sentiment in favor of an Omnibus
public building bill in both the
senate and house, and it will be
very difficult matter for the lead -

LONDON, Jan. 3.--The Daily Nails
correspondent with General Nogi says
the capture Of Wantai involved siS
hours Of the fercest fighting, while the
attacks on the forts to the southeast
were carried on simultaneously. De-
scribing the final siege, the corre-
spondent says:
"The slackened fire at points In
northern and eastern forts seemed TO
show that the Russians ammunition
was failing. The position was now
desperate. Great explosions around
forts proclaimed that the Russians
were exploding their magazines.
Flames and smoke in the harbor were
followed by explosion after explosion,
which revealed the destruction Of the
Russian ships. The Russians also APP
parently blew up two of their own
forts. The battleship Sevastopol was
blown up and the other warships were
destroyed as thoroughly as possible.
The battleships Retvizan and Poltava
and the protected cruiser Pallada
caught fire."

That Japan may not be permitted to
retain possession Of Port Arthur with
out dispute is shown in the fact that
Paris newspapers are already reviving
the claim made in 1901 that the hold
ing of that position commanding the
eastern seas by the Japanese would
be a menace to European powers.
There is an expectation in diplomatic
circles in st. Petersburg that some one
Of the powers may make a tender of
friendly offices, and the intimation is
conveyed that the United States may
take the initiative. Should that be the
rase 1t would only be upon assurance
from both the warning powers that
the tender would be received by them

Early today two Russian torpedo
'aunches arrived at Chefoo, and there
we're then seven Japanese torpedo

Russian officers who have reached
Chefoo relate that the Port Arthur
