RAISING PRICE OF RENT
OF BOXES IN POSTOFFICE
Postmaster Carson Receives New In
structions from Postal Authorities
at Washington.

Postmaster Carson has recent
ly received new orders concern
ing the renting Of boxes in the
local postofice. The new orders
make a raise in the prices
Of the boxes, and Mr.. Car
son and his deputies are put
to considerable trouble explain
ing the conditions of the order.
'sBox rent rates have been
fixed heretofore upon no estab-
lished basis, with the result that
at certain large post Offices rates
are lower than at many small
offices; that the charge for
small boxes is in many cases
higher than that which should be
made for large boxes; that rents
are sometimes collected at the
same rate for boxes Of all sizes;
and that postoffices Of like class, in
the same vicinity, equipped with
similar boxes, rents are collected
at widely different rates. In
order to remedy these conditions
and to provide a definite and sat
isfactory rule for the collection
OF box rents the following sched-
ule, based upon the kind and
capacity of boxes and the gross
receipts at post Offices, has been
adopted and will be strictly ad-.
hered to by the Department in
the estab blishment of all box rent
rates, from and after January 1,
1907"
A summary Of the schedule
given shows that the rent of
boxes in the Bemidji postofice
are fixed as follows:
Boxes previously renting for
35c,s now 6Oc; SOC boxes will cost
75c, and the former 75c boxes
require 81 per quarter, and are
due and must invariably be paid
in advance the first of every
quarter.

RESIDENTS OF KELL|HER
HAD A SMALLPOX SCARE
Sam Rogers, Thought to Have Been
Afflicted With Smallpox, Has
Pneumonia.

The residents of Kelliner are
much relieved as the result of
an examination into a reported
case of smallpox in their midst,
which proved to be an acute at.
tack of pneumonia.
DR.. Blakeslee, county physi.
clan, received a telegram yes
terday from William Lennon,
president of the Kelliher village
council. requesting his (the doc
tor's) presence to attend to a
patient believed to be suffering
with an attack of smallpox. The
doctor went to Kelliher last
evening and found that man
named Sam Rogers was sick in
bed, at the lodging house operat-
ed by Mrs. Mcdonald, with an
acute attack of pneumonia. The
mans clothing and the furnish
ings in the room had been bur-
ned, to avoid spread of the sup
posed contagious disease, and
there was much relief when it
was found that Rogers had
pneumonia. DR.. Blakeslee
brought Rogers to Bemldji this
morning and he was taken to the
poor farm. AS both his lungs
are badly effected with the
pneum onia, there is not much
hope for his recovery.

GOODBYE TO BRIDGE WHIST.

Goodbye to bridge whist. It's a
fast enough game for continental So
ciety, but Newport this week decided
that 1t had had enough OF the game
and turned it's attention, so dis
patches say, to roulette. You can
lose more money in given time by
the wheel route than you can the
other way
All the women at the pier are
wild about it and some of them may
be seen daily playing the fascinating
game. The Mills twins, Mrs. Arthur
Scott Burden and Mrs. Glen Collins
are devotees. Mrs. O'Donnell Hitler
is another who loves it. One of this
group, insisting that her age was
twenty-three, played that number all
ofre evening recently, and won al
large sum. She is more than twenty
three, but that didn't hurt her luck.

AFTER ORE TAKEN
FROM BLAIR Mines
BIG SHIPMENTS ARE DEMANDED
BY CLAIMANTS OF
PROPERTY.


The O'AIeara syndicate began an
action against the American Smelt-
ing and Refining company yesterday
to recover the value OF a carload OF
lead ore that was recently consigned
to the smelling company from their
Mcnamara lead mines, In the Pal
metto district, about fourteen miles
from Blair, Nevada. The ore carries
about SO per cent lead and 20 ounces
in silver per ton and the value of the
consignment is about $500.
The suit is friendly one. as it is
not the fault of the American COM
pany that the O'Mearas are kept out
of their money. The ore was not
shipped by the O'Meara's, but by
parties at Blair who had been relo-
eating the mines from which it came.
When it was found that the ore had
been shipped, the O'Mearas, through
their attorneys here, served notice on
the smelling company that the ore
belonged to them and warned them
not to make settlement with the
shippers until title and ownership
had been established. The action
which was started yesterday will
make it obligatory on the shippers to
get to the front and establish their
right to the ore or lose it.
w. P. O'Meara explained yesterday
that the property was an old one that
was purchased from the Mcnamara
estate last year There are thousands
OF tons of ore on the dumps and ex-
posed in the mines, but the new own
ers had done nothing more than the
necessary assessment work on the
property since it's requirement. Par
ties at Blair recently jumped in and
filed on the claims and then pro-
ceeded to ship ore from the ground.
Their first consignment has been tied
up as stated, and Mr.. O'Meara is not
at all alarmed over the outcome: but
to Keep the money from going to the
shippers action had to be brought
against the smelling company.

SUICIDES AFTER
PROTRACTED SPREE

Mrs. W. f. McBoyle made a grew
some find in one of the rooms of the
lodging house last Saturday after
noon, when it was discovered that the
occupant was rigid In death. and had
been SO for probably several hours
before being found. Frederick was
employed b. the valcalda Junior un-

town, drew what money was due him
and proceeded to have good time,
Notwithstanding that he had been
worried for some time before coming

wife.
McBoyle Immediately notified the
coroner that a nan was dead on his
premises and jury YVES quickly en-
panelled to examine the remains,
Drs. Cox and Harper being called to
make post norton examination. A
drachm bottle of morphine, with "a
grains taken out, was found on box
by the bedside, and a knife which had
evidently been used to remove the
cork, was lying on the box also.
There seemed little doubt that Freid.
riech died by his own hand and a
verdict was rendered accordingly.
Inquiry developed that Friedrich
was from Carson City, his parents
living in that vicinity and a brother
in-law residing in Goldfield, who ar
rived in Blair on Tuesday to take the
remains to Carson City, but decided.

went to McBoyle's on the 18th, pay

day, taking it out the day following,
saying that he had made a good
start but had wound up rather poor

spondency at not hearing from the
