BUSINESS
IS GETTING
TOO HEAVY
Postmaster Farrar Appeals
For Help 10 Carry on
Work

The steady growth and prosperity
of this section of the Willamette val
ley is best reflected by the rapid in
crease in the amount of business
transacted through the postofflce,
and especially the volume of business
done in the money order department,
and this work. which was formerly
performed by the postmaster, has
now grown to such proportions that
the postmaster has applied for and
secured an additional clerk to waie
upon money order customers, and
will be Obliged to have one or two
more before he can find time to look
after the regular executive duties de-
volving upon him.
This congested condition also ex-
lists In the mail delivery department,
and, although the force OF carriers
has been increased by two since Mr..
Farrar's incumbency, the force can
not cover the territory In the allot.
ted time. and It will be necessary to
put on at least two more in the near
future. There are now seven car
riers on the force. and. being almost
in the midst OF the holiday rush 1t
is growing apparent that the postof-
fee employees will be literally buried
with work before the close of the
year. Postmaster Farrar reports
that the money order business has
increased over 80 per cent over that
OF year ago at this season.
He also states that a shipment OF
dozen more posts for mail boxes
for the new districts is expected to
arrive daily, when the boxes will be
put up Immediately. He also ordered
and received new cards for all OF the
street boxes, bearing printed instruc-
tions concerning the hours of col
lecting and closing of mails, but the
railroad has adopted new train
schedule since the cards were print
ed, and Il will be necessary to have
them changed to conform. This
work, will be done by the postofiice
force. The old cards have done SER

MkS. GRAY.
SCARES A
BURGLAR
PrOwler Discovered In House
and Routed Before He Sc
cured Booty

After having gone to the trouble
OF effeeting an entrance into the
residence OF Charles A. Gray, at 76S
State Street. shortly after 2 o'clock
this morning, and finding his way up
stairs and into the sleeping apart
ments of Mr. and Mrs. Gray. a bold,
bad burglar was discovered in the
act of searching the pockets of the
son, George William Gray, and was
frightened away before he could Sc
cure the scent piece that was in one
OF the pants pockets.
The intruder evidently gained an
entrance to the house by turning the
key in the kitchen door lock. as the
door was found unlocked after his
departure. made his way up stairs
and had just begun operations when
Mrs. Gray awakened and sounded the
alarm. He had been In the chamber
for several minutes before Mrs. Gray
realized that IL was none OF the fam
lily, and awakened Mr. Gray. The
burglar was in the act of searching
the sons trousers pockets, but he
fed preclpltately at the first alarm.
There was nickel In the trousers
pocket, but the would-be robber
overlooked Il in his haste. and there
was also considerable amount of
money in the house, scattered about
In different receptacles. but the
burglar did not have time to locate
II. There was evidence this morn
ing that he had made a search OF the
basement before entering the house,
but not single article OF value was
missing.
Oflcer Longcor, who was lmmedl-
ately notified of the incident. hurried
10 the Gray residence. but no trace
OF the midnight prowler could be OBJ
taIned. II Is believed that he is the
same party who committed the series
of burglarles in Yew Park last week,
and the officers are on the lookout
for some clew that win lead to his
Identity.

Strength Comes
Not for What You Eat, but From
What You Digest.

Most people eat most foods with
out discrimination it matters little
what, Few stop TO think what that
food does for them. This Is the
FIRST turn on the road to dyspepsia.
Reckless disregard of tho proper
choice OF foods. rapid eating and inn
proper masticatlon. are the unques-
toned causes of all stomach disor-
ders from the slight ache TO the ma
llgnant cancer
There Is nothing more revolving
than dyspeptic stomach-a very vat
for putrefaction. sending forth rs
poison throughout the entire system,
depressing the brain, befouling the
breath, souring the taste, deadening
the muscles. ineapacitating the liver
and kidneys for their work, deblli-
tatlng the heart, choking tho lungs
and ologglng the bowels,
All OF these dlsagreeable and dam
garous conditions are due To the im-
proper digestion of food and the con-
sequent assimilation of poison. What
else can be expected? II the food
lies In the stomach. II the system Is
constlpated, fermentation ls the ma
tural outcome. Il shows itself In
sour watery risings, belehings, hear'-
burn and painful breathing.
There Is only Que way TO relieve
this condition. II the stomach re-
fuses to digest your food put some
thing into it that Will, Stuart's

digestives. They are not a medicine
They work when the stomach will

"Smart" Men In Politics.

The following taken from an
editorial in the Globe Democrat
of recent date expresses a fact
so well known to observers of
politics and politicians that we
cali special attention 20 it so the
reader can take pleasure in pick
ing them out among those he
knows.
THAT there are smart" men
in Missouri politics can 90 with
out the saying. There are men
in the politics Of this state inca
pable of understanding how sue
cess is to be made possible with.
out a trick. Their enthusiasm
is not for the success of a man or
a cause. but the success of some
crooked device. The intellectu-
al processes of practical politics,
the formulation of arguments
calculated to convince, the organ
ization of separate units Of
strength into compact bodies an
mated by the common purpose
of serving the end in view, are all
foreign to them. A concession
Of everything which is a fact, as
preliminary to u close analysis
of all the facts in the given case,
is beyond them. and their def
cheney prompts them to a distor-
ton of premises rather than
their recognition and their use
in reaching conclusions favora-
bic to their cause. In all of these
limitations such men are smart
but not wise; tricky, but not
trustworthy; nit for employment
in fetching and carrying, but not
in the larger work of politics.
This is to be clearly seen in the
unfortunate complications which
have arisen in the contest for the
seat in Congress of the 18th Mis-
souri, district"
There is no need TO name them
the reader can pick them out in
all parties. Even among the re.
formers.

To the Citizens of Bates County.

The work assigned to US as

1t proper under the circumstances
to give the priaeipal items of our
report as wide publicity as possible
among our citizens, for this project
for the reclamation OF the overflow
lands along the MaraiS des Cygnes
River, has been the subject of much
discussion. and we doubt if there is
a man who keeps in touch with the
affairs of our county, but what has
expressed himself either for or
against this proposition.
We have located The main ditch
as asked for in the petition, as we
decided on looking over the groun,
that no other route was nearly so
practical.
From The initial point (Msrvel

the new channel will be 30 feet
wide at the bottoms with q slope Of

depth about eleven feet, making
the width at the top a little more
than 90 IL.
