AN 0LD.TIME TELEGRAPHER.
In 1871 II. E. Burke Was Operator at the Bur.
lInston Depot In Kansas City.

The following from last Tuesday,
Kansas City Times refers to a brother
of DR.. J. L. Burke, of Laclede.
"H. E. Burke, Of Sabetha, Kansas
station agent for the St. Joseph &
Grand Island railway, was at the un.
ion depot here last night on the way
to Lathrop. Mr.. Burke was an op-
orator employed by the Hannibal &
st. Joseph railway in Kansas City in
1871. He worked in the little frame
depot that stood where the union de-
pot now stands in the west bottoms.
At that time the west bottoms was
only sparsely settled.
"'Thls was one of the loneliest
places on earth Mr.. Burke said. L
used to sit in the little telegraph Office
at night and listen to the frogs in a
half dozen frog ponds surrounding
the depot. My company at nights
was seldom more than a stack of buff
falo hides on the depot platform.
While l was here paid $75 for a
horse, and I have often thought what
that $75 invested in those frog ponds
would be worth to me now. | could
have bought good patch of ground
here then for that much money.
"I remember one summer evening
in IT, Mr.. Burke continued, "a friend
of mine named j. M. James and |
went across to little store on what is
now Union avenue, and bought a wa
termelon. We didn't know where to
20 to eat it. But we took the melon
in our arms and walked little ways
east from the depot. There, on the
side of the bluff, we sat down in a
pawpaw patch and feasted. There
were no cable cars then, no incline,
no bridge, nothing but brush. ="

Ignore Inquiries by Phone.

By new rulingof the postoffice de-
partment, postmasters and post-ofice
employees are prohibited from answer
ing inquiries made by telephone re-
garding mail matter in the office. Pos
tai employees are not permitted to give
out information concerning mail mat
ter received or delivered except to the
persons to whom it is addressed or
their authorized agents, and the de-
partment holds that this order can not
be strictly adhered to where answers
are made to queries over the telephone,
as the identity of the person making
the inquiry can not be definitely es-
tablished. Persons who are in the
habit of using the phone in this way
are requested to bear this new depart
ment order in mind, as it is matter
over which the postmaster has no
control.

The Election.

At the election held Tuesday, the
entire republican ticket was elected
without opposition with but one ex-
ception. No democratic ticket was
put out, but O. F. Libby had an ex-
ira lot of republican ballots printed,
and by scratching off both republican
candidates and substituting his own
name, succeeded in defeating E. K.
Welsh for justice of the peace by
eleven votes. Mr.. Libby is recog-
nized as one of the best judges of law
in the county, and his fitness for the
place is what elected him, while on
the other hand Mr.. Welsh is one OF
the best citizens and farmers of this
community and he would have had
no use for the Office whatever. The
road overseers elected were George
Glenn, 1. r. Wellman, E. K. Welsh
and Peter Ausmus.
