NEW P0ST0FF|CE
Government Decides to Locate It in Library Building on
 Main Street.
COPPER QUEEN co.
 OFFER IS ACCEPTED.
Walter Douglas Says Three Story Building Will Be Erected and Ready for De- CupanCY by September 1.

Letter mailed accepting proposal of Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company. Notify company"
 Coming from First Assistant Post master General Hitchcock of Wash ington, D. C., to Postmaster Cassidy late yesterday, the above telegram settles the controversy that began some time ago over the location of the postoffice in this city.
 It means that Postmaster General Cortelyou, selecting between the prop ositions made by the Copper Queen Company and Jake Schmid, has de- cided to accept the offer of the for mer, which means that the postoffice will be located in a building to be erected on the site of the present Copper Queen library on Main street.
 Schmid's proposition was to keep the postoffice where it is now sit uated in his building in Brewery gulch, with the addition of a large amount of floor space, which was to be gained by the addition of a large room on the north side.
 Schmid was backed in his proposi- liou Us SSNeTdl Oi tue iHtECnduIS anu business men of Brewery avenue, who had agreed with him to pay so much per month to make up the part he would lose by renting to the govern ment at a much lower figure than he could obtain from a business renter.
 While the offer made by the Copper Queen has never been made public, it is stated that 1t agreed to furnish the the government with adequate post office facilities at a nominal rental. In accepting its offer and placing the office in the library building it is but moving back to where it was located for number of years prior to being located ip Brewery gulch.
 Asked last night regarding the ac. ton of the government, Walter Doug las stated that he had received no in formation other than the telegram sent to Postmaster Cassidy.
 MT. Douglas stated that the new library building, three stories high, would be completed by September l. Drawing of plans had been somewhat delayed pending a decision from the government. The question of whether

Two Outlaws in Little Danger of Arrest - AIvord Taking lip With Man Who Betrayed Him Cause for Surprise,

While officers aer watching for them along the border and at points in the United States, Burt Alyord and Billy Stiles are said at the present time to be located in the southern part of Mexico, where they have settled down on a cattle ranch under assumed names and are leading an honest life
 That Stiles and Alvord should be together again, after the manner in which the former several times be- trayed Alvord, making possible on one occasion his capture by officers of this county, will cause some doubt in the minds of Disbee people who know both men.
 However, 1t was stated yesterday that after Alvord was released from Yuma several months ago and went to Los Angeles, where an effort was made to arrest him, he left that city and went by steamer to one of the ports on the southern coast of Mex ico. where he was shortly after joined by Stiles.
 Both Stiles and Alyord are now wanted for robbery in Sonora below Cananea. it being charged against them that they robbed the Tener party of sS 900 in gold bullion, killing one CT more of the members of the party.
 Tener had warrants issued for the arrest of Alvord, expecting to get him as soon as his time expired at Yuma, and hc was released. Through an CT TOT in calculating the time, Alvord was released from prison several days l before his time was up, and when the officers went there on the day he should have been released they found that he had gone.
 Alyord was traced to the home of his sister in Los Angeles. While the Los Angeles officers were waiting to get the proper papers to arrest him at the request of Arizona officials ne became suspicious. When they fin ally did get the papers and went to the home of his sister they found that he had again disappeared.
 Since Alvord dropped out of sight in Los Angeles, no trace has been | found Of him. It has never been learned how he got out of Los Ange | les or in what direction he went, but
 it is believed that he made his way to San Diego and there boarded a steamer for Mexico.
 Stiles and Alvord are said to be in little danger of arrest at the hands of the Mexican officials in that part
 of the country in which they are nov located, the officers being more than | friendly with the two famous outlaws

War on Cash Funds.

LINCOLN-If Governor Mickey does
not make war in cash funds which
have been created at state institutions
without color of law, it is believed
Governor Sheldon may have some
thing to say to the legislature in his
inaugural message. Fifteen years ago
a cash fund at a state institution was
the exception. Now nearly every in
stitution has from a few hundred dol
lars to $4,000 or $4,000 in cash which
it is said ought to be in the state
treasury. The money is derived from
the sale of state property, but instead
of ~depositing the money in the state
treasury, the heads of state institu-
lions retain it and spend it to suit
themselves. There is no authority of
law for the creation of such funds.
The practice has grown up by per-
mission of governors and boards of
public lands and buildings. Either the
governor who appoints heads of state
institutions, or the board Of public
lands and buildings which passes on
the expenditures of such appointees,
can stop the practice. Both author
tiles have given tacft consent to the
practice and it is assuming consider
able proportions.

No Passes to Land AGENTS.

OMAHA-The power of the inter-
state commerce commission to change
conditions in an entire community by
an enforcement of the new law was
brought out forcibly Saturday. when
the Union Pacific railroad decided,
upon advice of the legal department,
to recall all passes issued to land
agents Immediately. Representatives
of the passenger departments of all
western roads met with the commits,
sion a week ago Friday in Washing
ton, and on a complaint of the Illinois
Central to test the commission on
that subject, the commission, while
not making a ruling, conveyed the idea
and expressed the sentiment inform
ally that the granting of free trans
p~ortation to land agents was unlaw-
full.
Gerrit Fort, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Union Pacific, re-
turned from the east Saturday, and in
regard to the question of land agents
said:
1.-The passenger department of the
Union Pacific has consulted with the
legal department and has decided i'm
mediately to annul the passes of land
agents. We are ~telegraphing to all
we can reach today and will stop all
as soon as we can get to them. We
consider it unfortunate the commits
sion took this view of the matter. as
the stoppage of free transportation
will have a tendency to retard prog
ress in western Nebraska, which new
er had better prospects than at pres
ent. We had several hundred agents
who worked at this work exclusively"

As to ~Dipsomaniac Law.

LINCOLN-An effort is being made
by DR.. J. T. Hay, superintendent OF
the Lincoln hospital for the insane,
to find out just how much benefit the
dipsomaniac law passed at the session
of the legislature two years ago has
proved. DR.. Hay has sent out in
Quiries to the intimate friends of the
$50 men and women who have been
treated at the hospital since the pas
sage of the law, either for the drink
or drug habit. On the answer to
these letters his statistics will be
based. Some of the replies already
received show that permanent cures
have been effected by the treatment
at the asylum. Others tell sad stories
of backsliding on the part of the pa
tients into the old habits.
DR.. Hay declares it to be his firm
belief that in most of the cases in
which the treatment has been proved
tc be of but transient benefit, the fault
is mainly to the mistaken zeal of the
friends of the patient. Often, as soon
as the liquor or drug has been entirely
withdrawn from the patient and he is
beginning to exist in comparative
peace without it his friends begin to
clamor to have him sent home. This,
DR.. Hay says, is a serious mistake. He
believes that patients in the dipso-
maniac ward should be kept in the
hospital for at least a year after the
liquor or drug they crave has been
entirely withdrawn from them. In
hat time the weakened power of the
patient viii have a chance to reassert
itself and he will have much less diff
Guilty in resisting temptation than he
would if removed from restraint with

FIGHT on the Amendment.

It is reported here, says a Lincoln
dispatch, that the railroads intend to
fight the amendment to the constitu-
ticn providing for a railway commits
sion by going into court at an early
date. The report is that the railroads
will enjoin the canva of the vote on
the amendment by the legislature and
endeavor to stop proceedings right at
the start. The suit will be based, if
it is brought, it is said, on the theory
that it is illegal to adopt a constitu-
tional amendment by counting for
the amendment every straight party
vote cast when the party has endorsed
the amendment in its state convention.
