New Rural Route Rules.

The Postofice Department
has issued new rules for the
Rural Carriers that will be of
vast interest to all patrons of
routes. See that they are observ-
ed and the carrier will be saved
lots of trouble. Following are
some rules that must be carried
out.
/. On aud after July l, 1906,
patrons of the rura, delivery SER
vice'wi be required to display
signals on their boxes when they
leave mail in them for carriers to
collect, as, after that date carriers,
when serving their routes, will
not be required to open and ex-
anime any mail boxes except
those to which they have mail TO
deliver AID those on which sig
nails are displayed to indicate
there is mail for carriers to col
lect.
2. Those patrons whose boxes
are not provided with signals
must attach thereto some device
which, when displayed, will plain
~ show passing carriers there is
mail to be collected. 1t is not
necessary that such device shall
be either com plicated or costly;
a very simple arrangement will
answer the purpose.

Little Girl Attacked
By Dogs In Atlanta
From Atlanta Journal.1

From Atlanta JournaL1
Leonora Null, IA year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. c.
Null, of 79 East Harris street,
was attacked by four dogs while
proceeding along Ivy street late
Tuesday afternoon and painfully
bitten upon the calf of the leg.
The child, who is a bright
pupil of Crew street school. left
her home about 6 o'clock on an
errand. While on Ivy between
East Harris and Baker streets,
she suddenly found herself in
the midst of dogs that we're
barking and snarling in vicious
manner. She screamed for help
at the top of her voice but before
assistance arrived one of the
CANNES had fastened it's sharp
teeth in the flesh just below her
knee. 1t is supposed that the
cries of the young lady frighten-
ed away the dogs, otherwise she
might have received frightful in
luries.
Despite her lacerated limb and
the nervous shock incident to the
frightful experience, the child
bravely proceeded TO her home
where medical aid was quickly
summoned. 1t is is not believed
that any of the dogs were mad
and DR.. Coleman, who examined
and dressed the wound, stated
that the injury would heal
speedily, provided no complica-
tons develop.
The anxions parents are of the
opinion that the city authorities
should take some action, regula-
ting the custom of allowing dogs
to run at large over the commun.
ity.

William Fl. Keeper.

Born at Mount Holly Springs,
Pa. Dec. 21st 1872, died at the
Stratford House in this city,
Thursday May 31st. at 9;45 P.
M.
Prof. Klepper had been sick
but few days and his untimely
death was a shock to the commun-
ity in which he bad spent less
than two years and in that time
made many warm friends with
our very best people.
He came here from Pennsyl-
vania in September 1904 and had
Just finished his second term as
superintendent of public instruc-
ton. The graduating exercises
set for Friday evening May 25th.
were postponed on account of his
sickness and in the hope that he
would be able to attend Monday,
but Monday he was much worse
and did not improve during the
week, dying Thursday night,
in spite of the very best atten-
ton and medical skill.
Prof. Klepper was known here
as a man of cleanest Christian
character and instructor of tact
and ability, full of energy and
perseverance.
He had just been elected to the
third term as superintendent and
had planned to prepare himself
more thoroughly for the work
during his vacation.
He was a graduate Of the State
Normal School of Pennsylvania,
he attended the Uni
versity of Western Virginia and
Cornell in New York. He was a
teacher eleven years and honored
his chosen profession.
But the saddest of his untime-
1y end is the widowhood of his
young wife. On June goth.
1905, nearly year ago, he was
married to Katrina Wassarman
at her home in Tal1apoosa. She
had been a teacher in the schools
and their close association cul-
minated in their marriage, and,
as Mrs. Keeper, she continued
her d:ties as teacher here until
the close of the session colncl-
dental with his sudden death.
A beautiful church service was
held at the Central Methodist
church Friday afternoon, at
which a throng of people showed
their respect to the dead. After
the service the local lodge of Odd
Fellows took charge Of the body
which was sent to Tallapoosa on
the 7:55 A. B. & A. train accom-
panied by Mrs. Keeper and DR..
l.. S. Osborne, of the school
board.
The Enterprise joins the COM
munity at large and the many
friends of the family in sympathy
for the widow, the mother, two
brothers and four sisters who
we're so sadly bereaved.

some men with ia miliar faces.
Curiosity turned these men to
the stranger, who i'm mediately
recognized them as the hunters
who we're seen in the forest at
| the time Of the arrival of the
caravans, and who were now
mum bered among the cjty's
most prominent and prosperous
men.
At this moment the old man
was attracted by the various
noises on the street. These
noises were caused by the pass
ing of traps, automobiles, and
trolley cars. The hunters in
vited he old settler TO join them
in trolley ride about the city.
Ia a few moments they were
passing through streets that
were swarming, and whirling,
and quivering with the motley
life of an active city.
Soon the car passed an impos-
ing building of artificial stone.
This" explained the hunters,
''is the court house of Northen
County, AS the cars sped on
beautiful park lay before them.
Over the large arch gate that led
into it was the sign, "Blue and
Gray Park" Through the
park we're spread fair gardens, a
tangle of shade trees and flowers
watered by score of fountains
and made musical by lnnumer-
able birds.
Passing along the boulevards
he could see here and there thro
the leafy trees, beautiful dwell
ings with the outward appearance
Of peace and plenty. Coming
to little e minence where a birds
eye view of the city could be
taken, be saw dotted about the
city numerous domes and spires
reaching almost to the sky, and
giving the appearance of piety
and love these were the numer-
erous churches of every denomi-
nation.
The hunters now told the old
man that the two things which
were the pride of the citizens, re-
NAMED yet to be seen.
The visitors now noticed for
the first time. that a merry river
flowed thro the city, and he
wondered how it cam to be here.
He was told that 10 the year of
1908 the course of the Ocmulgee
river was changed and brought
thro the city in order that there
might be a complete sewerage
system. Small channels running
from all the streets, emptied in
to this river some distance below.
This sweet, merry river flowed
through the main part of the
city with an abundance Of water
which supplied the pool and
spouting fountains.
A few yards in front of them
through the crowded truuks of
trees was a huge gray structure
rising up aud lifting its top
above the sea of foliage. AS
they came nearer aud stopped,
the stranger was charmed at the
sight of this marvellous piece of
architecture with its massive
artificial stone columns. AS he
stood gazing with unspeakable
admiration, clear ringing voices
were heard and :mmedlat ely
groups of merry children were
lseen pouring out of the building
from the front, sides, and back,
and going off in every direction
This he was told was the Great
central Public School Building.
This school building said the
hunters, aud the magnificent
system sewerage you have just
seen, are the wonder of all strang'

PAYS TOKEEP HENS
Mr. and Mrs. Heeter Get Fresh Eggs
 Right Along.

Mir. and Mrs. Heeter have a lot of chickens, probably the first ones ever attempted to be wintered here. They are housed in a well-warmed cabin and are thriving perfectly.
 Among the number are thirty hens, which have been laying since before the advent of cold weather. A dozen eggs were secured in one day last week. The average up to the present time has probably been seven or eight eggs day, which would be very fair showing even for springtime.
 The cost of feeding the fowls is con- siderable, but it is reckoned they more than pay for their keep. They are fed cracked corn, oats in the straw and a variety of other stuff, including salmon, which is kept hanging in reach SO they can peck at it whenever they please.
 It is proposed to raise several broods of chicks next spring Indeed it is said an effort was lately made to hatch a brood, but something went wrong with the incubator and failure was the re- suit. When MT. and Mrs. Heeter were asked what the difficulty was, they only smiled and intimated that they would know better next time.

HAYNES TO GROW
Development of Rainy Hollow to
 Make the Place Important.

The prospect for building large and thriving city at Haines is excellent, SO the Skagway Alaskan believes. It says Haines will certainly be the gateway to the Rainy Hollow country that is to be developed, and it is not unlikely that it will be the gateway to the copper and placer fields of the White, Copper and Panama rivers There is no section of Alaska with brighter prospects than Lynn canal.
 The Alaskan says that great things will follow the recent sale of the Rainy Hollow mining claims to rich English company. The proposition is to set three or four hundred men to work right away, and as quick as developments will warrant it the number will be increased to four thousand.
 At least, that is what was indicated by J. w. Richmond Lee, the mining engineer sent to report on the property. The company has subscribed and paid in 5000, 900 capital for the Rainy Hollow deal. It is capitalized for $15,OOO, 900, every cent of which is in sight when wanted. In addition to working the mining properties in the Rainy Hollow district and the railroad connecting them with the coast, MT. Lee said it IS the purpase of his people to operate smelters and refineries on the ground. The discovery of an excellent vein of coking coal of high grade fifteen miles south of the copper properties, which has been secured for their company, makes this possible.
 Mir. Thomson, who closed the bargain which secured possession of the Rainy Hollow property for the English people, has control of the White River pros poets, and the continuation of the rail- road from Rainy Hollow there, and even to the headwaters of the Copper and Panama rivers, is among the possibili- ties of the future.

BOY
 DIES OF RABIES
Bitten by a Mad Dog in August, He Suddenly is Stricken and Dies
 Within an Hour.

Little Willie Lyons, years old, sud- denly developed rabies and died within an hour at Graehl, Fairbanks district, Nov. :.
 In the latter part of August the child was playing in the yard. Mrs. Lyons was suddenly aware that something was wrong by the screams which came from the child, and she found dog biting viciously at the little fellows face says the Fairbanks Times. She immediately armed herself with club and drove the beast away, but not before the little chap had had his cheek torn badly.
 Physicians were called and followed all the latest laws regarding the care of such wounds. Strange to say, the wound healed at once, there being no pus or other indication of poisoning.
 On the afternoon of the child's death, J. Lyons, the father, called on the at tending physician and said the little fellow was acting rather peculiarly, wanting to be carried in his mothers arms and exhibiting signs of fever. The doctor gave some directions for his care and said if he was no worse it would be all right, but that if he should show any signs of growing worse to call him inn mediately. This was early in the even ing. About o'clock the doctor received a hurry call and hastened to Graehl, only to find the little fellow had passed away
 An examination showed that he died from hydrophobia, the rabies having developed suddenly and carried the little fellow away before any aid could be ad- ministered In fact, nothing could have saved him.
 The strange part of the whole affair is the suddenness of the development of the rabies. Within few hours the poor little boy began having fearful thirst, yet water or liquids were repulsive to him: he frothed at the mouth and had spasms and all the horrible symptoms of genuine case. And yet the wound on his face had healed quickly; in fact, as we'll as though the boy was in the best of health.
 A man named Powers was bitten on the hand by the same dog. Powers is on the outside now, and there may be such thing as him suffering the same fate as Willie Lyons.

NO PLACE FOR PoLLARD's CASH
ser@eant-at-Arms of House Says 1t
Belongs to Pollard and Not
10 Government.
From a Stan Correspondent.) }

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-(speciaI TeIe-
sram.)-The attempt OF Congressman Pol
lard to refund 1851, representing salary
paid him from March to July IS, 1906. will
probably prove futile. II was the conten-
ton Of his opponent in the late election
that as he was first elected on a later date
at special election to nil the unexpired
term Of Senator Burkett he was not en-
titled TO salary for the period when he was
technically not a member Sergeant-at-
Arms Casson is not in the city, but his
assistant said there was no precedent so
far as he knew for such an action on the
part Of a congressman and he could not
say positively just what might be done
with the draft from Pollard when It ar
rived, except of course, It would be Rsid
until Mr.. Casson returns. He expressed
the opinion, however. that the draft would
be returned To Mr.. Pollard. Mr.. Pollard
he said, Is clearly legally entitled to the
money and Mr.. Casson could not take IT
unless Mr. Pollard Is so anxious to get rid
OF his cash as to make present Of the
draft 70 Mr.. Casson personally There
seems to be no way to cover this money
back into the treasury except through one
avenue, and that would be to send # direct
10 the treasury and have it placed in what

Chairman of Committee Delighted
with Endorsement OF Work
Of rounrems


NEW YORK, Nov. 9.--The republican
campaign committee closed
it's headquarters in the ST. James building
this afternoon. Before Mr Sherman left
for his home IN Utica tonight he said:
The result OF the congressional campaign
throughout the country IS eXceedineiv
gratifying 10 this committee The Stxtisth
congress will be republican by hfty-eiRht
majority These figures correspond exactly
with the prediction given out by the COM
mtttee on the Thursday before election
OF the districts throughout the United
states which the committee marked as
certainly republican we failed IN CARRYING
but four. or these that we marked doIbf-
ful We have carried more than We markcd
as probably republican. The result shows
that the people emphatically endorse the
administration Of President Roosevelt and
approve the work Of the first session n
the Fifty-ninth congress. IL shows that the
people desire a continuance OF prosDeritv
and shows their belief that prosperity can
be depended upon under republican admin
istratiOn and the belief that II would SURELY
disappear under democratic rule
The election means that the great eco
nomic and financial tenets OF Republican,
lam are stin approved by Americans.

lieved the robber was well acquainted with
