Washington. June -. Important
measures extending federal regulation
and control have been enacted at the
first session OF the Fifty-ninth con
gress now rapidly drawing to a close.
The railroad rate and the meat in

food bills, which. though dissimilar in
terms. are both based on the same prin-
ciple Of federal control 1t is the pres

differences before adjournment. There
has been no marked division on party
lines in effeting the above results. the
differences being only as to ways and
means rather than as 10 policy.

1t IS the ambition Of Postmaster Gem

the usefulness Of the rural delivery mail
service as far as possible and TO make
each carrier serve the convenience and
comfort Of the people on his route 10

accomplished is now the subject OF IN

OF the service have been holding FREE

Various plans have been proposed and
some * them have be, recommended
to coneiess. Chairman Overstreet OF
the house committee on postofices, is
taking a deep interest In the subject
There are, Of course, differences of opin-
Ion, but all are agreed that the rural
delivery carrier may be made more use
full than he is. and that the people living
IN rural Districts may get n great deal
more for the t2oo0o,0O0 that is being
spent for their benent than they are re-
aiizing at present.
The proposition receiving the greatest
amount Of attention at present relates
to the delivery OF merchandise, to assist
ing the farming population to purchase
supplies and have them delivered at
their doorsteps. The government de-
livers Information and intelligence. but

GETS 100 MARRIAGE OFFERS
Ella Rogers, Plucky Iowa
Girl, is Yery Widely
Admired.

Webster City la, Jan. 25.-Miss
ella Rogers, a pretty young newspaper
woman Of Ames, Ia, has received
more than one hundred proposals OF
marriage in the past year Miss Rog-
ers was lucky enough TO draw quar-
ter section Of land In the Rosebud In
dian reservation. II is not wholly on
this account that Miss Rogers has re-
ceived so many proposals, but rather
because the young lady, who Is TWEEN
ty-four years Of age, tall. willowy,
graceful and with just enough dare
In her makeup TO be able &c take care
OF herself, announced straightway that
she intended going TO her farm alone
and homesteadIng It without the aid
OF a man Or even woman about the
house
This decision formed the basis for
many a newspaper story, and metro.
politan journals contained not only the
story, but picture Of Miss Rogers as
well 1t was this publicity and the
spirit OF independence displayed by
the girl that has brought most Of her
proposals. They have come from all
over the Unlted States, but Miss Rog
ers IS still single ana announces that
she has no idea as yet OF foregoing
the pleasures OF single life. And
she is still running her big farm alone.
