Results From Violating Postal Laws

Results From Violating Postal Laws.
Wausau Pilot
A Mr.. Moore of Pelican Lake, a
postofice inspector, was in the
city a portion of last week for the
purpose of checking up the books
in the local office. His visit here
is regretted by three parties-not
connected with the local Office.
but ones sending mail. While in
the city he deemed it advisable to
open some of the third and fourth
class matter, for the purpose of as
pertaining whether or not the
senders were violating the postal
regulations. In three different
packages he found letters He
ascertained where the parties live
and calling on them with the
proof of their guilt he requested
them to each pay fine of $40 or
5s and prosecution, which would
mean larger fine. They willing
II paid their fines and were glad
to be let off so easy. Some
months ago an inspector visited
Wausau and found four or FIVE let
ters in packages, and collected
fines from each sender. This fact
was duly noted in the local press
and should have been a warning
to the ones caught by the inspect
or last week. 1t is easier, more
economical and less embarrassing
to buy &c stamp for your letter
than it is to take a chance of senG-
ing it in package and be requir-
ed to shell out ten hard earned
"plunks" of your Uncle Sammuel' S
money. 1t does not pay to try to
defraud the government. You
will always get the worst of it.

The Genius of Love.

Durable love is a sublime drama
played by two actors equal in talents,
a drama where the sentiments are
catastrophes, where desires are events
and where the lightest tho ight causes
a change of scene. But how will you
find in the flock of bipets which is
called a nation man and a woman
possessing in the same degree the
genius of love, when taleated people
are already so rare in other scier ces?

Old Shell Exploded.

A curious scene occurred on the
premises of a Paris locksmith, recent
ly. For the last Is years a shell,
which dated back to the siege Of Paris
in 1870 had been used by a rag and
bone merchant as a sort of pestle.
The merchant attached a handle to
the shell. Some time ago the handle
broke off, and the lOCksmith was ask
ed to repair it. Having made a new
handle red-hot, he drove it into the
orifce of the shell. There was a ire
mendOus explosion. The locksmith
and his apprentice were blown several
feet away while pieces Of the shell
were driven clean through the wood
work and the window Of the shop, and
were found buried in the brick walls
of the courtyard. Every window in
the house was smashed, and large
pieces of the shell were found buried
in the ceiling, but by a miracle NO"
body was hurt.

SYMPATH|zE WITH STRIKERS
Citizens of Oxford, Miss Give West
ern Uuion Operator a Very Cool
Reception

Oxford, Miss, Oct I4-An effort
was made here to reopen the West
EN- Union telegraph office today, but
met with a dismal failure. G.. A Nc
FseTiand, of Aberdeen, was SEM here
by the head officials TO reopen the
Office but he received such a cold
shoulder from the CITIZENS that he
closed up the office and left for his
home in Aberdeen at once. The peo-
pie here have shown a hearty sup
port and appreciation for the de-
mands of the telegraphic strikers
from the first, and this demonstra-
ton on their part has placed the
telegraph company in an added bad
plight. 1t was thought by the com
pany that so long continued close
of the office would make the op >nine
a relief, and they were doomed to q
bitter disappointment. The citizens
will stand by the local strikers TO tho
end.

SCORE THE FARMERS union
Declare They Will Never Deal Di-
rectly With Producers-Harvey
Jordan Calls Upon All Union
Farmers to Stand Pat for Rights

Galveston, Tex. Oct. I4-The Eu-
today, while en- route on their South
ern tour, announced that they would
never pay fifteen cents a pound for
cotton, demanded by the Farmers
sever in their de1unciation OF what
they termed the unions exhorbitart
demand, and also that they would
never deal with the producer upon
such a scale.
The statement OF the spinners
created a profound sensation here
and throughout the South. The an
nouncement was telegraphed to every
prominent cotton center. Harvey
Jordan, president of the. Southern
Cotton association, when told of the
spinner's attsA14xs expressed himself
as not being SO g. s much surprise
He advised the faf>aers however, to
stick to their demand for fifteen cent
cotton, adding that this price,
is perfectly in accord with the visibl :
supply He said that the spinners
had grown rich at the expense OF the
farmers in past years and it is now
time for the farmers to assert their
rights. All he asked was that the
cotton raAsers stakd together and
make the spinners pay the price ask
ed
It is an undisputed fact that had the
European spinners made known their
determination to- fight the union al
the outset of their trip through the
South the reception rendered them al
every city they visited would not
/ have been so cordial. Their statement
is being received as very bittei

a hard and bitter fight for their de
