SUNDAY MAIL IN SUBURBS
of Delivery Brought 10 At
tention of Postmaster By
Numerous Complaints.

The Omaha postofice Is being besieged
with complaints from some OF the patrons
OF the suburban postoffice stations OF the
city relative to an apparent delay in the de-
livery of mail to the general office on Sum
days after II is deposited in the sub-stationa.
Said Postmaster Palmer in reference to the
matter:
1.-THE trouble is not so much the fault
of the postoffice as II is of the patrons.
Hitherto II has been the rule to receive
mail at the sub-stations until noon, at
which time the pouches were made up and
the mail sent down TO the main ONCE. OF
course, any mail deposited after that hour
would have to lay over until Monday
morning. We have, however, Just estab-
lished rule to receive mail at the SUBJ
stations until l o'clock p. m. Sundays, at
which time the pouches will be made up
and sent to the main ONCE in order to
catch the afternoon mails"
Apropos this matter It will be noticed
the mail boxes at the Sixteenth street front
of the postofice have been removed. This
was done for the reason that many people
were in the habit Of depositing urgent mail
in this box, instead OF going a few steps
further and putting it direct in the post
ONCE. AS consequence urgent mail de-
posted in that street box did not receive
any more attention than mail deposited in
other mail boxes about the central part
OF the city when the regular scheduled
collections were made. Hence in many
cases urgent mail was delayed from one TO
several hours. This trouble has been OBJ
Waited now by the removal of this box,
so that all urgent mail may now be placed
directly in the postofice. where II will re-
celve immediate attention.

Adams Expects New Trial.

R. A. Adams, the murderer of Mr..
Jaques of Colleton county, is now in the
Walterboro Jail where he has remained
since being taken there from the State
penitentiary at the last term of court fol-
Colleton county to : be re-sentenced.
Adams, it is said, has no desire now fol
escaping Jail. His hopes are grounded
on the fact that he will be given new
trial. After being duly tried and con-
victed and sentenced to pay the penalty
of his crime, the plea for new trial SVas
entered. We are informed by RESPONSE
BILE citizens of Colleton county that Ad-
ANS is a guilty man, that he deserves to
be punished as decided by the jury.that
sat upon his case. This fact is not deni.
ed by any one who knows anything OF
the case at all. And yet Judge Town.
send upon the plea of the defending attor-
neys, granted new trial. The prosecu.
ton then appealed to the Supreme court
and it vet remains to be seen whether OF
not the order of Judge Townsend will be
sustained. It is said that the best people
of Colleton county are very anxious to
see the verdict of the jury sustained,
when Adams will be re.sentenced and
hanged, as he deserves to be.-Dorchester

Marked Originality.

The late Gen. Isaac J. Wistar, of Phila-
delphia, says the New York Tribune, had
a multitude of anecdotes that he could
draw on to illuminate an idea.
Gen. Wistar was for number of years
the president of the Pennsylvania Aca-
deny of Natural Sciences. At one Of
the academy's meetings a rather odd and
original method of reaching the North
Pole was suggested. Of this method the
president said, smiling:
"It reminds me of the way two San
Francisco friends of mine once took to
get rid of some guests.
"These guests came to spend the even
ing. and didn't know when to depart.
NV friends were patient with them, very
patient; but when II, 70, and finally 1
O'clock struck, the husband realized that
something must now be done. =.
"He was an original chap, and, in his
original way, he looked over at his wife
and said, mildly:
".My dear, hadn't we better get up to
bed! Our friends may want to be going"

Barney Had Been Observant.

They called him Barney the Blunder-
err because he made so many mistakes.
He had been working for coal dealer
about six months, and was earnest and
honest soul, but he did not seem to learn
anything concerning the details of the
business.
One morning, after having delivered
coal to two wrong addresses, he was
rather short and crusty in answering a
regular customer, so the proprietor dis
charged him, saying: "Go to the office
and get your money. I've been as patient
with you as I could be, but you are too
thick.headed to ever learn anything"
Gall roight, SIR" answered Barney.
"Mebbeo Dim t'ick-headed, as yez say but
Olive learned wan ting anyway"
"If you have really learned one thing,
and learned it well, I'll not discharge
you," said the proprietor banteringly.
"Now, tell me what you have learned"
"Oi've learned, sor, that seventeen hun.
dred makes ton in this place." replied
Barney, and he went back to work.-No'

The Companion as a Christmas Gift.

Can YOU think of a gift more certain to
be acceptable than year g subscription
to The Youths Companion? Is there
any one, young or old, who, having once
had the paper in his hands and looked
through it, did not wish to possess it for
his very own? It is gift which, far from
losing its freshness as Christmas recedes
into the past, grows more delightful, more
necessary to ones enjoyment week by
week. o..
The boy likes it, for it reflects in its
pages every boyish taste and every fine
boYish aspiration. The father likes it,
not only for it's fiction but for its fund
of information of the practical sort. The
girl likes it for the stories, anecdotes,
Sketches and editorial articles printed in
each number especially for her. The
mother likes it for its stories OF domestic
life and family affection, for it's children's
page and for its medical article.
On receipt of $1.75, the yearly subscrip.
ton price, the publishers will send to the
new subscriber all the remaining issues OF
The Companion for 1905 and the Min
utemen" Calendar for 1905, Autographed
in twelve colors and gold.

A Common Sense View Of it.

A Common Sense view OF II.
Many men think that newspaper men
are persistent dunners. By way OF CON-
parison, let US suppose a farmer raises
one thousand bushels of wheat year and
sells this to one thousand persons in all
parts of the country. A greater portion OF
them say, II will hand you dollar IN a
short time" The farmer does not want
to be small and says, "All right" Soon
the one thousand bushels are gone, but
he has nothing to show for it and he then
realizes that he has fooled away his whole
crop, and it's value is due to him in a
thousand little driblets, consequently he
is seriously embarrassed in his business
because his debtors, each owing him one
dollar, treat it as small matter and think
it would not help much. Continuing
this kind of business year in and year out,
as the publisher does, how long would he
stand it? A moments thought will con-
vince anyone that publisher has cause
for dunning sometimes.

He Spoiled it All

W. Caryl Ely of Buffalo, the president
of the American Street Railway associa-
ton, according to the New York Tribune
was talking at the convention in Philadel'
phia about motormen's and conductors
adventures.
"a conductor came to me with a smll-
ing face the other day." he said. "He
wanted to tell me what had happened on
an incoming car.
1T seems that middle-aged woman
and her little son, lad of or years,
got on the car, and as soon as they were
seated, the woman took half-dollar out
of her pocket and handed it to the young
ster to pay the fare with.
"The 10y held the coin in his small, fat
hand, and examined it closely and SOL
emnly.
"The conductor appeared for the fares,
and the youngster gave him the half-dol-
lar with owlish solemnity.
"The money was pocketed and 40 cents
in change was put in the small extended
hand.
"As soon as he got his change the boy
laughed, wriggled in his seat and shouted
gleefuliy:
"'Oh, ma, he's taken the bad half.dol-
lar!''
