FREE DELIVERY SERVICE

E. e. Frazier, U. S. post office
inspector of La Crosse, Wis, was here
Friday afternoon, August IL, for the
purpose of dividing the city into four
free delivery districts. After looking
over the city he said that the work of
naming the streets, numbering the
business places and houses and build
Ing Of side walks was not sufficiently
advanced for him to make a report to
the government. He therefore left
word with the postmaster with these
instructions: that as soon as the
improvements were made we were to
write to him and inform him that the
city had made its preparations for the
free delivery service. Therefore as
soon as it is possible for the city
fathers to push these necessary
matters to completion, it will hasten
the free delivery service in Grand
Rapids. The question of free delivery
is now wholly up to the city fathers
to prepare for it, and it depends
entirely upon them as to whether it
is secured for us or not.

THE REPUBLICAN
PRESIDENTIAL FIELD

An usual and most interesting
situation exists as respects the re-
publican hunt for the presidency.
Each state that figures ia the specu-
lation is accredited with two candi-
oates. This, if no change takes place.
must lead to some strenuous prelimi-
nary struggles.
We are asked TO believe that Mr..
Fairbanks may find an opponent in
Mr.. Beveridge. The senator Is young
when the presidency is considered.
But so he was when the senatorship
came along, and he captured that.
He is rattling good campaigner as
is Mr.. Fairbanks also. and should they
clash for control of the HoOSier dele
cation to the republican national con-
ventlon the banks of the Wabash
would reSound with the noise.
Then in Ohio there are Taft men
and Foraker men, with both sides
convinced that the Buckeye state
should have the nomination. Of the
two leaders Mr.. Foraker has had the
larger experience in politics, and
probably has the larger acquaintance
among managing politicians, but
Judge Taft has made profound i'm
preston on the country, and enjoys
much favor. outside as we'll as inside
his own state.
Turning then to Wisconsin we find
Mr.. SpOOner and Mr.. La Toilette
figuring in the talk. The latter now
has the state pretty we'll in his hands,
and of course will endeavor to keep
his grip on the organization after he
leaves the governors chair for the
Senate. But Mr.. Spooner is much
admired the country over, and that in
pinch should count at home.
Iowa is harboring the booms of
Gov. Cummins and Secretary Shaw,
both of whom have been highly
honOred by the state. A contest by
them for Hawkeye delegates should
SUR the whole commonwealth.
No sooner had Mr.. Root decided to
return to the cabinet than his name
was added to the presidential pos
sibilities, and no sooner was that done
than talk of inducing Mr.. Roosevelt to
run again revived. This gives New
York two men.
1t is not until we reach Illinois
that we find anybody playing a lone
hand. Mr.. Cannon is sitting tight,
and all by himself. Gov. Deneen is
too young, and ex-Gov. Yates hardly
strong enough for the presidential
race, and Mr.. Cullom wants only to be
returned to the Senate. Will "Uncle
Joe" profit by his good luck at home?

YELLOW FEVER PLAGUE
Shows Signs of Abating Since
City is Cleaned Up.

The Yellow fever plague that has
held New Orleans in it's grip for the
past two weeks and more, is considered
by many to be at it's height now, and
it is expected to begin to abate this
week. Thus far there have been just
few less than thousand cases re-
ported with $50 deaths. This is a
large number, but the death rate is
but 16.5 per cent, against twenty-five
per cent at the time of the last great
plague in 1878.
Beginning with yesterday, Monday,
every citizen who was able to work,
volunteered to help in cleaning up the
city and by noon there were over
10000 men at work with more than
5000 teams, which carted the refuse
away and left it out Of the danger
zone. The city was given a thorough
cleaning from one end to the other,
and as a consequence, physicians say
that there is perceptible change for
the better in conditions today, Tues
day. Aid is being sent to the stricken
city from all over the United States
to help in the fight against the terrible
plague. There are a few cases re-
ported in New York, but the health
authorities have it thoroughly in
check there, and there were no deaths
reported from there today.
Among the prominent men who
have succumbed to the disease in
New Orleans, are Archbishop Chap.
pelle, whose death occurred last week
His remains were given private and
unasSumingl burial, and his nephew
has gone to the city to take charge
OF his affairs. Another who was over
come by the fever was Surgeon T.
Berry, sent by the Federal government
because he was considered immune
having passed through the Cuban wal
and having had the disease, according
to report, while in Texas.

will set up. No appetite, loss of

PENSION DECISIONS

Marriage and Divorce-Evidence.-
It having been admitted by appellant
that both she and the soldier on
account of whose service and death
she claims pension, had been married
previous to their marriage to each
other, it is incumbent upon her to
establish the dissolution of said prior
marriage by either death or divorce
before she can be regarded as the
lawful widow of said deceased soldier.
Navy Pension-Navy Hospital
The naval home in Philadelphia is a
navy hospital within the meaning
of section 4Sl3 of the Revised Statutes,
and pension due to inmates thereof
must, under the provisions Of said
section, be paid to the secretary of the
navy.
Disloyalty-Ther records Of the War
Department show that claimant, a
citizen of Iron county, Mo-, was
captured December 3, 1864, and con-
fined at Alton, ILL.,, unit! March l6,
1865, when, with other confederate
prisoners, he enlisted in the U. S.
army. Held: That such record
raises the presumption that claimant
voluntarily engaged in. aided OF
abetted the late rebellion against the
authority of the United States, and
the burden of proof is upon him tC
show the contrary.
Mistake Pension-Where
in the adjudication Of an invalid
claim the Bureau makes mistake in
the nature of a clerical error, which
does not require proof to establish that
fact, and it is brought to the attention
of the Bureau, the Commissioner
should correct the error as well after
as before soldiers death, and his
widow will be paid all accrued pension
due him.
Pathological SeQuence-ParalySis
(hemiplegia) occurring at the age of g.
years, and thirty-four years after
discharge, can not be accepted as q
sequel of neuralgia or piles for which
soldier was penSioned.

TRICKS OF THE CHARMER.
Snake Lady of Side-Show Tells How
She Manages Her Danger
Gus Pets.

While the barker outside the Coney
show was believing to the crowd that
the snake charmer within had a hyp-
motto eye that cowed the venomous
reptiles into submission the sturdy
parsonage herself was telling a curl
GUS visitor some Of the tricks Of the
trade, relates the New York Herald.
"The only secret of the game" she
said, us to attain fondness for my
loathsome pets and knack of hand
ling them without arousing their
anger. When irritated they show it
by slow movement of the tail after
the manner of cat. Indeed snakes
have many other feline characteris-
tics. When this occurs have to put
the snake back in the cage, for the
quick tightening Of the muscular coils
when I place the python around my
neck would be death to me-"
For this reason have to have four
or more pythors, which represents an
investment of over two hundred dol
lars apiece. The main reason, how
ever, is that these constructors eat
only once every IL days, and then they
go on the sick list for several days
during digestion.
Where help is always handy the
python is not to be dreaded by skill
ed performer. Still, the blow that an
angry snake will deliver on the chest
is a triple extract of the shocks adj
ministered by Jim" Jeffries, Mis-
souri, mule and racing automobile. If
the python could follow this up by call
ing about the body my bones would be
reduced to jelly in short order.
"My biggest constructor is now on
the sick list, as 1t is now dangerous
and venomous. The big fellow is now
totally blind, for he is shedding the
film or skin from his eyes, and he will
strike out at the slightest provocation.
IT. a short while this reptile will have
a new pair of eyes and be my star
performer"

Plain Words to Motorists.

Motorists are very small fraction of
the population, and they all inf1ict some
annoyance upon the population at large.
The best of them cause smoke, smell and
dust, while adding very appreciably to
the tear and wear of the public's nerves.
Smoke and smell are nuisances in towns
and the clouds of dust extending for a
mile or more in the rear of motor are
a nuisance and often a danger in the
country. If motorists could only be
made to travel in their own dust their
recreation would lose much Of its at
traction.-London Times.

PEARY AFTER THE POLE.
Many Great Difficulties in the Way
of the Explorers Sue
cess

NOW that the nose of Peary's Arctic
exploring steamship is pointed north
ward, there is time for a sober ap-
pralsement of the chances for and
against the achievement of Peary's
main purpose, says the Philadelphia
Ledger.
No expedition which has started
tor the frozen north has been so well
provided with ship and engines es-
pecially designed to meet the condi-
tions to be encountered, and few ex-
plorers have had the long experience
and training in the particular labor to
be performed that must be credited
to Commander Peary. The elements
OF the experimental and the unknown
have been eliminated so far as is
humanity possible, and, the enlistment
of the aid of the Arctic highlanders
adds a feature of strength to the
whole undertaking which it would be
difficult to underestimate. In attempt
ing to form a judgment as to the
chances Of success, we have to con-
fess that the whole thing rests upon
climatic conditions which it is impos-
sible to forecast.
Peary's plan, stated in the barest
outline, is to force his base-that is,
his ship and supplies, his dogs and
sledges-to position about three hum
dred and fifty miles nearer to the pole
than has heretofore been possible. In
this way he would avoid the long and
exhausting carry to the advanced base,
and would be in a position to make an
earlier start, with fresher force, on
the final sledge Journey over the ice
pack which he believes will bring him
to the coveted 'farthest north"
No particular difficulty should be
encountered until the Roosevelt
reaches the head of Smith sound, at
about 70 degrees north. Other YES
sells of much less power have gone
farther, but from that point north
ward the alternately wide and narrow
channel is filed with ice. If the win
ter in northwestern Greenland has
been unusually severe even the Roose'
velt's engines may be inadequate to
force the barriers, in which event
Peary will be no better off than he
vas when he was forced to winter on
Mccormick bay. If, on the contrary
he is favored with open waters, he will
enjoy the enormous advantage indi
Gated. The other great element OF un'
certainty is the ability Of men, dogs
and sledges to travel across the ice
pack between the shores of Great
Land and the pole. Peary has tried it
and has failed, but his confidence In
his ability to overcome in the future
the difficulties of the past is the chief
feature upon which our hopes of sue
cess are built.
In the last analysis any speculations
upon the outcome of an undertaking
as to which the essential conditions
OF success or failure are wholly un
known must of necessity be akin to
the famous forecasts of the immortal
Bunsby. If all goes we'll, If the Ken
nedy and other channels prove nav
igable, and if the ice pack on the polar
sea is traversable, Peary may win the
goal If the barriers Of cold and ice
prove to be too formidable, the pole
will not be achieved this time.
