Postmaster Webb received know
ledge yesterday Of his re-appoint-

postmaster Of Lancaster, making
his third consecutive appointment.

Sam never looked after postoffice.
Congressman Babcock recommend

One Trust About Busted.

= 1t is interesting out here to get
news from New York that the con
tinuous production of eggs during
the winter has created a desperate
situation among the stores of the
commodity in refrigeration last
summer. Those stocks should have
been salable for two months past,
and would have been, but influence
Of the fine, mild weather prevailing,
henshave continued laying through
outthe winter, an unprecedented cir
cumstance, and everyone prefer ing
fresh laid to ice house eggs, have
left the latter severely alone
AS the result, an overburdening
quantity of refrigerator eggs re-
nam, estimated, in New York and
the coolers Of Jersey City, at least,
100000 cases; over 100000 eggs;
$1,000 cases in Albany and Troy,
] 100000 eggs; 40, 600 cases in Chi
cago, 4,250,OO0 eggs, together in
those thl ee placed, $3.50, 600 eggs,
while there are numerous houses
about the country all holding stock,
which would probably bring the
total up to 10, 600, 900 eggs for which
there is yet no devlsable outlet.
With the moderating of the
Candlemas cold snap, there can be
scarcely prospect of weather dur
ing the remainder of the winter,
severe enough to stop the produc-
ton of new eggs to any ap-
preciable extent. There were more
receipts of them in January than
ever before, the excess over January
1904, being $4,000 cases., $50, OOC
eggs.
Greater New York's weekly con
sumption of eggs is about $4,000
cases, which is considerably less
than the current new production,
which leaves scarcely a ray Of
promise for the millions remaining
in the ice houses.

Entire Family Poisoned.

Mineral Point Tribune: After
partaking Of breakfast Monday
morning Of this week Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed, Woolrich and daughter, resid-
ing short distance east of this city,
were all siezed with a peculiar
sensation or sickness. DR.. Bailey
was at once summoned and he
found the three suffering from poi
son. The poisoning was traced to
the coffee drank that morning. In
preparing the coffee water which
remained over night in a copper
tea-kettle was used, and it was also
ascertained that ground where their
cistern was located was strongly
impregnated with copper and that
a spring had forced it's way into the
cistern. Mr. and Mrs. Woolrich
partoOk of the coffee freely and
have been very sick, nigh unto
death, while the daughter had
diluted her coffee till it was Iabout
fifty per cent, milk and consequent
ly suffered proportionately less. All
danger is now passed.

St. Valentine Day.

This festival, celebrated on Feb
ruary IA, was established in Eng
land, Scotland and Frapce about
the fifteenth century, and was
popular among the upper classes
and at many European courts.
On ST. Valentines eve spinsters
and bachelors were accustomed to
meet in a social way, write upon
bits Of paper the names of a num-
Der Of spinsters and bachelors OF
their acquaintance, throw them IN
to a basket, and then draw them
out, one at a time, care being taken
that each should draw one Of TIE
opposite sex, the person drawn be
ing the drawers valentine.
The festival was introduced into
America at an early date, with much
observance for a long time, but has
undergone one material change,
being now limited to an exchange
of anonymous communications be
tween friends, though the commune
cations are often made the vehicle
of sundry verses and cuts Of varying
sentiments, not always compliment
tary to the receiver.

Jos. 7. Bennett for Mayor.

After being prevailed upon by his
friends for several weeks to become
candidate for mayor JOS T. Ben
nett, the we'll known druggist, has
consented to having nomination
papers circulated in favor of his
candidacy and will be an active
mayoraltY candidate.
Mr.. Bennett enters the campaign
rather reluctantly, having business
interests that will be sacrificed in
accepting the position, but never
theless ho believes that if his friends
desire him to accept the toga he
should not disappoint them.
It is unnecessary to mention Mr..
Benefits qualifications for the
place, his executive ability being
unquestioned.
It will take mighty good man TO

Story Of a Sealskil-' sacque.

There's a husband, a business
man, quite well off. Then there is
a young man who has permitted
himself to care too much for the
business mans wife. About month
ago the friend bought for her
sealsk1n sacque. The wife decided
it never would do to take her
present home with her. She con-
suited earnestly with a friend of
the family, and it was decided to
pawn the sacque for a small sum.
The sacque was pawned. That
evening the wife said to her hus-
band: ooh, James, | found this
pawn ticket on the street today
It's numbered, but I can't read the
writing, 50 | don't know what it
calls for. You might, go down
sometime and see."
Good" said the husband, 'I'll
do it,"
For two days the wife waited.
She didn't want to betray anxiety,
but at length. after dinner one
evening, she said: Il forgot to ask
you about that pawn ticket I found.
Did you ever
"Oh, yes, 1 forgot it, too" said
the husband, putting his fingers in
his vest pocket. Il did go to see
about it. 1t was for this little ring;
not worth much, but I gave mp $12
for it, just to please you"
The wife was furious and she was
frightened. Did her husband know
all, as the heroine says? Again she
waited two days; two days and
nights of worrying. She determined
to hunt up the friend of the family
and once more consult. She wanted
| that sealskln sacque.
She couldn't find him at his place
of business. Noticing it was about
time for her husband to start home
ward, she went to his office to meet
him. The stenographer, a young
brunette, was just leaving the office.
The wife started. The stenographer
bowed rather coldly and passed on.
She could afford to. She was wear
ing the sealskin sacque.
This is where the story should
end, but it doesn't alas! A lawyer
said yesterday afternoon that the
wife had sued her husband for
divorce. And, remember it's all
true.

each plate was two large gold
colored hearts tied with gold

prOpr1ate verse beneath, at the

THE COUNCIL WANTS
 CARNIVAL COMP ANY
But An Ordinance Passed a Year Ago Remains on the Books Unre- pealed.

At the last meeting of the city couu- cn a committee consisting of Council men Cisney and Christy was appoint ed to consider and act upon what privileges of the streets would be granted a carnival company for the week of the territorial fair. A meet ing of the committee was held last evening. but little was accomplished in the way of reaching a decision. Both of the members of the committee it ia understood are in favor of putting the carnival on the down town streets bus am ordinance now in force and effect prohibits the erection of tents within the city limits.
 It is known that a complaint would be filed against the carnival company should the ordinance be violated. MT. Berger the manager Of the Doris theatcr having already signified that to be his intention. It has also been suggested by the fair associatiou. who are anxious to have all the different plans of entertainment going on in the city during the week of the fair and especially at nights, that the carnival company make a violation of the or dinance and be allowed to pay nomi- nal fine each day in addition to the li- cense charged by the city. To this plan the city recorder raises an ob- jection contending in support of his objection that law violated onca might be passed with a nominal fine but the second offense Tor in this case. the second day could not be passed by without the fine being increased.
 The ordinance could be repealed on

Hundreds of extra papers were sold on the street this morning and many peo- pie came to the office for papers, and some of them subscribed for the paper for a period of from one to four months. Some of the contestants who are a little behind in their score have reported at scholarship headquarters that they can find no one who does not already take The Republican. But there are certainly quite a number in town now who do not have it delivered regularly, as the sales of yesterday demonstrated.
