1t is said the reason why the de-
partment raised the post Office box rent
was because it wants to discourage pri-
vate box renting where there is free
delivery. That may be all right where
there is free delivery, but it isn't exact
ly fair to patrons of post Offices where
the only free delivery is that of rural
carriers.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY
IN LIVERPOOL MINE.
Mammoth Cavern Rich with
Untold Tons of Lead.

Tuesday evening of this week work
men at the Liverpool mine, in new
shaft near where the mill stands, broke
into a mammoth cavern at depth of
12O feet or more. 1t is at point 25 or
30 feet below the glass rock and what
is termed the third or pipe clay opening.
Investigations thus far prove the cav
ern to be 40 feet wide in places and full
ly 100 feet long, the heighth varying
from 10 to 80 feet The bottom is laden
with loose lead ore in all sizes and
shapes lying in Shiny mud, in dice and
sheet formations. The sides and roof of
the cavern appear to be thoroughly
coated with the same ore.
This mine is within our city limits and
promises to be the richest discovery in
the history of southwestern Wisconsin.

No. 4, where the company has been
working on good body of ore.

Bills By Nelson

Washington dispatches state that
Senator Knute Nelson has introduced
bill authorizing national banks to
make loans on real estate, a pro-
position which has general indorse-
ment OF banks in smal! cities. The
proportion of capital stock which
may be so loaned is to be fixed by the
controller of currency, and it is pro-
vided that the loans shall not exceed
one-third of the actual cash value of
the property. Mr.. Nelson has also
introduced bill to amend the ma
tional bankruptcy act, to provide
that debtors who owe less than $500
may not be able to take advantage OF
the terms of the act. In its actual
operation the present law has been
taken advantage of by persons who
owe small tladesmen for groceries and
household supplies, and the bill is
intended to protect these merchants
from such losses.

CHRISTMAS TREES
State fire Marshall Gives Advice
As to Their Decoration In
Order to Be Safe

Edward Peterson, tate fire mar
shall, issues the following bulletin
relative to the proper handling of
Christmas trees:
A year ago Christmas tree caught
fire in one of the larger churches in
st. Paul during the program of a Sun
day school festival, and a panic was
barely averted. A Christmas tree
should be made as fire-proof as posi-
BILE. 1t is dangerous at best. No
candles should he put upon it; if can
dies must be used, then
Don't put cotton on it.
Don't put paper articles on it.
Don't put candy wrapped in
paper on it.
Don't put celluloid articles on
Don't put lace or popcorn
strings on it.
Don't put candles on weak
branches, because they may shift
position in losing weight from
burning and set the tree on fire.
Don't put any inflammable art
icles under the tree when candles
are lit; a spark from a twig may
set them on fire.
Don't set the tree in a cot
ton-made snow bank; it may put
your house in ashes and turn
your joy into mourning.
Don't leave children alone with
the tree, nor the tree alone with
itself when the candles are lit
Don't place the tree near win
dow curtains; slight draught
may swing them against can
die
Decorations can hardly improve up
OH Natures architecture, as displayed
in q well-prOportioned evergreen, but
if the tree must be decorated, no
inflammable articles should be put
On. And the Christmas shops glitter
with a countless variety of pretty and
cheap ornaments that may be safely
used. a little care in its selection
may save money, joy, homes, churches
fectival halls and lives.

ADDITIONAL LOCALS

The attempt to gel out a good-sized
audience when reserved seats are sold
for 81 90 each proved abOrtive here
last Friday night. "We Are King"
was the attraction at the opera house
and the company of eleven people
good actors-put on we'll balanced
production. 1t is unfortunate that the
audience was so small, but people in
the smaller cities like Sauk Centre
will not pay such high price for
seats. There is a marked improve
ment in the kind plays produced at
the local playhouse since the manage
ment joined the circuit.
The st. Cloud Times says that
County Attorney ]. B. Himsl had a
narrow escape from death at Freeport
Wednesday of last week. Mr.. Himsl,
it seems, was at the Great Northern
station at Freeport, in conversation
with the agent, and tarried too long
after the conductor had shouted sail
ABOARD" In running to catch on, Mr..
Himsl failed to notice large express
truck which had been left standing on
platform close to the coaches. He had
just grasped the hand rail when he
struck with great force against the
trnck. He helu on for an inatant or
two and was then compelled to let 60.
Only because of great strength of arm
was Mr.. Himsl able to keep from drop
ping from the platform in under the
cars. Though the victim escaped with
his life, he received very badly bruised
side and arm and is black and blue.
He counts himself lucky at that.

 The Los Angeles papers give good description of the raid. Gilded youths and Arizona "good things" were round ed up with the crew of gamblers, but
 later were let go. Today the gamblers got out on bail and Us q pretty safe assumption that they are now trekking for Nevada. They had intended to go there anyway, but the raid came a day too soon.

priceless Gift for Queen Alexandria

An aged and wealthy Parsee woman, decked with jewelry and precious stones and accompanied by two dusky sons, arrived in San Francisco yesterday from Bombay on the liner Persia. Like the pussy eat of the nursery rhyme, she, is going to London to see the queen. Mrs. c. ]. Jessawalla is 75 years old. Dur ing her lifetime she has made three visits to England. She met Queen Vie toria and wants to meet her successor, Queen Alexandra. She is taking with her rare gift which she hopes to be allowed to present in person to King Edward E consort.
 The gift is a cap wrought in gold by Mrs. Jessawalla' s own hands and deck ed with priceless pearls. She has made caps, she said yesterday, for numerous members of the British nobility, but all the caps she ever made, she says, are nothing in value or workmanship com pared with this gift for Queen Alex andra.
 Mrs. Jessawalla is the widow of a wealthy Bombay merchant. She was the first Parsee woman to seek an Eng fish education and in so doing was for many years an outeast among her own people She is fond of travel and at tended the Paris exposition in 1878, On that occasion she made an aseen- sion in a captive balloon, and as a sou venir of the occasion wears an immense gold medal, on which is inscribed the date on which, to use the words of one of her sons, ''Mother flew up in bal. loon.

Graneuine catarrh Cure

"I've heard people all over the eoun- try talk of suffering from eatarrh, said A. T. Raines of Mobile, at the Utopia. "An old farmer, living in northern Alabama. once told me to smoke the old fashioned grapevine once or twice a day and blow the smoke through my nostrils and it would cure the worst case of catarrh on record. One day I was travelling through a sec. tion of the country where there was grapevine in abundance. Leaving my wagon l gathered quite a lot of it. l smoked some that day, some the next and kept it up for several weks. l found that the farmer had spoken the truth. It cured me of catarrh, and I we never been bothered with it since. "

"this is the real reason why, with re- duced banking loans and q larger cir medium, money IS abnormaily scaree-scaree in the credit centers. If is not scarce in the mill towns of New England or the mining towns of the west. "
 The trouble with this theory is in it's assumption that the $5 increase in weekly wages--a large overestimate to start with-remains in "the pockets of labor.p A casual examination of the market bills, the grocer's book and the storekeeper's s account of these working people would quickly dispel this delu- sion. The cost of living has outrun, in nearly all cases-especially so with the salaried elass-the increase in wages. If there were this prevalent weekly sur plus it would not long remain in the pockets of the workers who received it.. It would be placed in the savings banks, there reinforcing "credit center,' or he invested in cheap securities or paid in instalments on mortgaged homes. The savings banks statistics show that in many cases more money is being talk en out than is being put in, and the explanation of the officers is that the depositors are buying what they believe to be good securities at "bargain coun- ter prices. !"
 However this may be, it is pretty certain that the wage earners of the country are not adding every week $s0 0,000, ,OOO, or any other appreciable sum, to the pocket money which they carry around, to the depletion of the 'eredit centers meaning the big banks in the large cities. The money supply of the country was never so large as now, nor has its quality ever been better. Just where and how and why it is distributed is one of those things that "no fellow can find out. "
 According to Secretary Wilson. the western banks have an unusually large surplus, and are lenders rather than borrowers. The farmers of that section and of the south are receiving enormous sums for their crops and other products vastly more than all the wage earners and this is already beginning to trickle back to the centers of finance, as shown by the improving collections of our manufacturers and merchants. Within a few days several million school children will resume their tasks, and the usual output for fall clothing and other family supplies will swell the current of money in circulation. As for the pay of labor, low wages have contributed to financial troubles far oftener than high wages have.

BRACE GAME FOR
 ARIZONA SUCKERS
Visitors at the Coast Go Up Against a Sure Thing Proposition Operated by Homer DpBois and Other Former Arizona Gamblers-Joint Is Raided.

The following from the Tucson Citi- zen may be of interest to Globe people who have recently returned from vaea- tions spent on the coast, and to those who are well acquainted with some of the chief performers:
 "There' s sucker born every min ute, v said a fine old grafter many years ago He was right about the quantity, but there's lot about the quality the old sport didn' live to know For in stance to catch a sucker you have to find his habitat and fish for it. Some suckers leave the water and go Hopping across the land in trail of the bait then they are called "lambs" or "lob- sters. ." A high-elass lamb is called a "goat" But in all the encyclopedias, dictionaries or "guff of the profesh " we fail to find the definition for suck CT that leaves his home, goes hunting for the fisherman, swallows hook, line and sinker and leaves his card beside the breakfast table plate, saying he had been there once.
 Therefore people are rather at a loss as to what to term the bunch of Arizonans who dropped their wads into the hands of those amiable sure-thing artists, Homer Dubois, s. J. Spires and Joe Wiley, formerly of Tucson, but who latterly have run gambling hell at Venice, near Los Angeles. Naturally, when the game was rapid Thursday night it was discovered that it was crooked The faro layout consisted of marked cards. The Los Angeles police say the roulette table was also fixed. The Arizona "soft things" never had chance on earth. They walked right in, were bunked, then turned right around and walked right out again. Be ing from Arizona, they wouldn't squeal Last springs suits will do for them this fall and, beside that, one can al ways wear a straw hat in Arizona.
 There were five Tucson easy marks who went all the way to California tC go against a brace game, There were thirty Arizonans from the territory < less cultured centers who did the same If you want to find out who they were just look your friend who came back broke from California squarely in tho eye, double up your fists, get your shoot ing iron ready and ask softly, "Say did you ever go to Venice?"
 The amiable Mir. Dubois is well anC unfavorably known here, as are hi pals. MT. Dubois stopped in the city jail last summer because he tried to run "ioint" here. A fourth one oi the gentry gave the name of H. K Fisher, and showed four ancient Ii censes permitting Fisher to run a rou lette wheel in Benson, Ariz. The req Mr. Fisher departed from this spher' to the sound of pistol shot some tim ago, but trifes like that don't bothe Joe and Homer and CD. J."
 The bunch of gamblers had thing nicely fixed at Venice. "DuBois al ways did know good whisky" said leading sucker on the street this morn
