Here's to Colonel Hubert A.
Allen, and many are the friends who
will join US in extending congratula-
tons in the successful outcome of
Mondays election. AS announced
in last weeks issue, the election for
the position of lieutenant colonel
was held in the Fifty-third regiment
l. N. G., on Monday. The vote was
not a heavy one, and it is figured
here that heavier vote would have
added more numbers to the majority
of Major Allen. Major Fisher, of
Waterloo, and Col. Clapp, the pres
ent incumbent, were the formidable
opponents to Major Allen. The
total vote stands, Major Allen, 255;
Major Fisher, 50; Col. Clapp, II;
Major Allen having majority vote
of 70. The position holds good for
term of five years. Major Fishers
home company at Waterloo stood Is
votes for Allen against ID votes for
Fisher, many not voting. The rigid
examination imposed will be taken
by Major Allen some time within
the next thirty days. ......... Miss

resulted in victory for Jackson by

The rural mail carriers were
brought up against ruling of the
general postoffice department. last
week, the result of which is that the
business Of "a carrier is circumscribed
pretty closely to the duties of collect
ing ond distributing mail and no.
thing more. In the case of the
Hopkinton carriers, the matter was
brought about by any inquiry sent
to the department by G. Gathaus, the
clothing man. II. B. Sill carrier on
route No. 4, has pursued the bust
ness of soliciting for Chicago
clothing and tailoring company as
side line to the mail business. An
order issued by the department last
year announced that rural carriers
must not solicit or engage in bust
ness that will in any way interfere
or come in competition with estab-
ished merchants, and it was this
ruling that was invoked by Mr..
Gathaus. The department wrote
thai the original order is to be
strictly interpreted and will stand.
1t was further found that upon look
ing up the departments rulings that
a carrier may not hold elective or
appointive political offices. In con-
sequence Of the discovery and ruling
J. D. Morgan Immediately resigned
the offices Of deputy sheriff, constable
and city marshal, which he has held
and Mr.. Sill announces that he ex.
poets to resign the mail service and
give his time to his clothing busi.
ness and other affairs. He is also
assessor for Hopkinton. The pay
of the rural carriers is $72O pei
year.-Hopkinton Leader.
