Uncle Sam is supposed to have the
best trained and most accurate employees
to be found. The postoffice department.
of his business is usually conducted
with machine-like accuracy, but mis-
takes will Mapped in the best regulated
business, as In the best regulated fam
ilies' and as a result of the most mex
plicable carelessness
For instance. the Goldheld News today
received q letter plainly directed to
"Goidneld. Nevada" but which has been
visiting around the various towns of
Goldneld throughout the country. look
ing for the News. The letter, which
bore the post mark, Waterloo. Iowa,
June w." was irst sent to Goldfeld.
Iowa. The postmaster at that point.
in spite of the fact that Goldheld. Me-
vada, stood out plainly on the envelope
as big and clear as a signboard. for
warded the letter to Goldfeld. Colorado.
AS there was no newspaper of the name
at Goldfeld. Colorado. the postmaster at
that point, returned it TO Goldfield. Iowa.
The letter at that point fell into the
hands of some one in the postoffice who
could read, and 1t was finally forwarded
to Goldheld, Nevada, and reached its
destination in the Goldneld News Office.
The letter bore $3.50 subscription
money. and in the meantime the sub
scriber has complained bitterly OF The
News for not having sent a receipt.
Postmaster Collins is enjoying the
incident. ours is not the only office
in the country that can be complained

as much mail as the other two offices

GOOD PRODUCTION AT TONOPAH

Is hardly a doubt hat the Midway vein
will be encountered.
There is a speck Of trouble at Miller.
where is located the mills of the Tono-
pah and the Belmont companies. The
men there want an eight hour day
straight, and although there has been
no demand yet. from the union upon the
ompan some of the men have walked
out. The trouble originated In the SAM
ping works OF the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company. and none of the men
rave left the big mills. The men were
getting $50 n s. a day at the sam
pier, and some are working by the hour
at forty cents an hour. These men
work ten and twelve hours. The $3.50
men walked out of the sampler, and
have put the matter up to the Blair
branch of the Western Federation. Mo-
body here believes hat the trouble will
be far reaching enough to cause a shut
down OF the big mills of the Tonopah
and Belmont companies.

Weber, in the death of their young son.
which occurred last Sunday. The little
fellow made a brave fight for life, but
one serious ailment after another over
took him, beginning with poisoning from
preserved milk, and everything possible
to restore him to health was done, and
at times he would rally and seem to be
nearing his normal condition of health;
but he was taken worse the latter part
of last week, and the family started for
the coast in hopes that a change of air
and altitude might benefit, but word
came by wire hat the little fellow had
died on the train en- route. So much
love and attention was lavished upo the
sick child. that his restoration to health
was hoped for by everyone, and the news
caused sadness everywhere.

MEAT TRUST EXACTIONS.
Controlling the Market, IL Pinches
Both Farmer and Consumer.

From the Philadelphia Press
The steady rise in the price Of meat
under the manipulation Of the meat trust
deserves the vigorous attention and ac-
ton Of the Federal Department OF Jus
tice.
Not even the Standard Oil comes so
near the daily life and daily expenditure
Of every home rs the meat trust It's
combined firms fix the price the farmer
receives and the consumer pays The
former has diminished, as the fall in
hides shows The latter has increased.
as the advance in meat shows.
Like the Standard OIL the meat trust
owes lis control and profits 10 railroad
rebates in the past. The Chicago Rail-
way Age. watching the situation closely,
declares that rebates have begun to ap-
pear at that railroad center in new forms.
As the trade COnsOlidates il widens
the margin between cattle and meat, Civ
ing the farmer less profit and the con-
sumer dearer food. For this advance
now there is no excuse. In seven years
population has grown about a seventh,
mich COWS have grown a fifth. other
cattle doubled, sheep increased two-thirds,
and swine one-half.
In the face Of these figures an Increase
in the price Of meat is extortion, and It
can only be accomplished by combina-
tiOn ia restraint OF trade. which calls for
action by the officers of the law.
