NEW POST OFFICE ORDER RECEIVED.

A new postal order has been issued
which will be of interest to merchants
and others who are accustomed to
send packages to farmer patrons by
rural carriers.
Under false construction of Sec
tion 98, Postal Rules and Regula-
tions, a sort of parcels post system has
recently sprung up among rural free
delivery carriers generally that was
quite handy for local merchants and
patrons of rural free delivery routes.
Under the rule carriers are allowed to
handle unavailable matter, and
packages weighing more than four
pounds outside the mail for hire. This
they can do if they do not depart from
their regular course TO collect or de-
liver such packages, and do not in any
way interfere with the regular mail
service.
Bot practice eventually grew up
whereby merchants and others de-
sirous of having mailable packages de-
livered by rural free delivery carriers
would by adding brick or other ex-
traneous matter of no obvious value,
causing the package to weigh in ex-
cess of four pounds. Thus the carrier
was able to earn an extra five or ten
cents fee on each package so carried,

postage and the carriers fee. while

sands annually throughout the whole
country.
But the post office authorities at
Washington finally caught on to the
leak caused by an erroneous construc-
tion Of the law, and the result was a
general order under date Of June Both
strictly prohibiting the addition of
extraneous matter of no obvious value
and matter not ordered by rural
patrons and enioining upon post
masters and rural free delivery car
riers strict vigilance in this matter
Thus merchants and others inter
ssted should take notice that only |
articles, and all the pack
ages weighing in excess of four
pounds can hereafter be carried out

hat the addition of extraneous matter
II no obvious value will not be toler
tied hereafter.

MARKETING EGGS.
Some Wholesome Advice Concerning Pure
Food Law and How to Keep Eggs.
by H. H. WOldum.

We call the attention of producers
and dealers in eggs to the pure food
laws of 1907. which provides that no
person shall deal in or sell for use as
food any filthy, decomposed, diseased
or otherwise unwholesome food or
dairy products.
Violators of this law are liable to a
fine of $50 or Imprisonment for sixty
days.
All producers are warned not to
offer eggs for sale which are not fresh
and wholesome and all dealers who
buy or deal in the stale or rotten eggs,
will be prosecuted.
This department will enforce this
law with special reference to the sale
of the above mentioned food articles,
and prosecutions will follow against
offenders wherever evidence can be
obtained.
Now, when the warm weather has
set in for good. we warn all farmers
selling eggs to very carefully gather
them in every day and sell at least
once every week. oftener if possible.
Keep your eggs in good cool place.
but be careful that it is not damp, as
nothing spoils an egg so fast as damp
ness. Don't put your eggs in the
cellar unless it is very dry, and then
not over one week, at the most. More
eggs become worthless from being
stored away in a cellar than those
which are rotten when gathered.
Don't wash an egg in warm weather
as that sroils them in two or three
days H. Fl. Woldum

MACHINE PREACHING.

There are great possibilities in the
canned" sermon. says the Sioux
City Journal. The monograph has
greatly enlarged the opportunity for
the ministerial product of the barrel.
There are clergymen who will go off
on their vacations this year with a
clearer conscience than ever before.
They will leave photograph to talk
for them, and curiosity is expected
to help the photograph out. The
preacher can leave his best things,
and he can exchange with the leading
pulpiteers of his acquaintance. The
audience will miss the pastors clothes
and his gestures. but it will have the
opportunity for a change-a needed
rest-along with the pastor. There is
churches of variety. and the innova-
ton will afford opportunity to study
the variety of the photograph. The
machine will be subject to criticism.
That may hurt the operator, but the
machine will not be affected by it,.
There may be reflex harm to the
preacher for it may be said the ma.
chimes preaching is superior and re-
form may be started to cling to the
machine the year around. 1t may be
urged that machine preaching is
cheaper, and it may prove an opening
wedge to the reduction of salaries
The young man or woman operating
the machine may prove more attrac-
tive than the divine. 1t may be the
means of opening a syndicate business
in preparing monograph sermons, and
the spirituality of those who 60 into

it seems risky to leave the photograph
as substitute. The audience may get
gay. Ii may even excuse the appear.
ance of Taft or Bryan. Spellbinding
in campaign times may be popularized
in the churches. In that event no one
can tell what might be offered the
photograph as a temptation to draw
the people together The experiment
is full of danger, as might be pointed
but at length. In short, and seriously,
let it be added that no machine can
Jake the place of man of God.

Running a newspaper is just like
running a hotel, only different. When
a man goes into hotel and finds some
thing on the table which does not suit
him, he does not raise hades with the
landlord and tell him to stop his old
hotel. Well. hardly. He sets that
dish to one side and wades into the
many dishes that suit him. 1t is diff
erent with some newspaper readers.
They find an article occasionally that
does not suit them exactly and with
out stopping to think it may please
hundreds of other readers make a
grand stand play and tell the editor
how paper should be run and what
should be put into it. But such people
are becoming fewer every year.

PRICES ON THE
DOWNWARD GRADE
(By Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-No effec-
tive obstacles interposed to prevent
the downward drift of prices Of
stocks today. which seemed on a
much diminished volume of business
from that which has been evident
for many days past. The pressure
to sell showed no signs of urgency,
but the benevolent control which has
been apparent since the present week
was withdrawn, leaving the market
to its own tendency. Very definite
rumors are in circulation regarding
the contents of special message
from the President to Congress, said
to be intended for an early date and
bearing on the new employers liabil-
ity law, enlarged privilege against
discrimination for union labor and
drastic restrictions on speculative OPP
erations in markets under the guise
OF anti-gambling regulations. Bonds

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLES
ACCOUNT OF BRADFORD
SHOCKLEY NUPTIALS.

The San Francisco Chronicle has
the following account of the wedding
of W. H. Shockley and Miss May
Bradford of this city, who returned
from their honeymoon this week:
Miss May Bradford, daughter of
Mr., and Mrs. S. K Bradford of Palo
Alto, was married Sunday at the
Fairmont to William S. Shockley, a
mining engineer, well known in this
city.
Miss Bradford enjoys the unique
distinction of being the only woman
in the United States who has ever
held the Office of United States dep
uty mineral surveyor a position
which she was filling creditably at
the time of her marriage.
After graduating from Stanford in
1902, where she specialized in math
ematics and fine arts, Miss Bradford
went abroad to study portrait paint
ing with Richard Miller in Paris.
Before returning home she Travelled
extensively on the Continent, going
to a number of the unusual places,
such as Servia, Dalmatia, Monte
negro and Roumania, besides visiting
the principal cities of the Old World.
ION her return to San Francisco
she decided to give up art and went
| into business with her father, a min
eral surveyor at Tonopah, and there
qualified for the duties of the Office
| to which she was appointed by the
Surveyor General two years ago. The
| position carries with it much respon-
sibility, as it is upon the result of
! the work of the mineral surveyor
that the United States grants to in
dividuals the titles to government
lands, and much of the practical
work of her office, which has stood
the test of being carefully reviewed
by the Land Department, was done
by Miss Bradford herself.
Mr.. Shockley had many years OF
experience in Nevada and California
as we'll as having travelled extensive
ly in the pursuit of his duties il
) many countries from China to Peru
He has made a number of Journeys
to northern China, having been sen
there to report on the vast iron ant
coal fields of the province of Shansi
; and has written a number of article
; on the mineral resources of Corea
Mongolia, Manchuria, Siberia, Aus
tralia, Africa and South America, t,

BIG PROFITS FOR
Steel WORKERS

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-An extra
dividend of approximately 65 per
cent will be paid the employees of the
United States Steel Corporation who
subscribed for the stock in 1903 I'M
der the profit-sharing plan devised
by George w. Perkins and who have
retained the stock to the present
time. These stockholders have re-
ceived regular per cent dividends
on the stock and also a bonus of 5
per cent a year, according to the
terms of the profit-sharing plan. In
Guiding the SIS per cent extra divi-
dend they will presently have re-
ceived a total of $125 a share in
dividends in five years.
Employees took about $4,000 shares
in 1908, getting the stock at $3.50
a share. 1t was provided that an
annual per cent bonus be paid on
all stock thus taken, but that those
who sold their holdings should
thenceforth forfeit the bonuses. The
fund from which the extra dividend
will be paid has been built up prin-
cipally from these forfeited bonuses,
1t is estimated that about 10000
employees will be benefited by the
extra disbursement.

MASQUERADE BALL
A GREAT SUCCESS
WAS AN ENHANCING SIGHT
COSTUMES BEAUTIFUL AND
ORIGINAL.

The masquerade of the Cotillion
Club at Miners hall last night was
a great success in point of attend
ance, in the glitter and dash and
originality of costumes, and the tout
ensemble. There were not less than
two hundred guests in the early part
of the evening, and while the crowd
was little too much for comfortable
dancing, the Kaleidoscope of color
was an enhancing sight to the on
lockers There was the oldest col
lections of characters ever witnessed
and the various countries of the
globe were represented.
There were Mexicans from Mexico,
and Indians from Indian Territory.
Jim McQuillan was Mexican. There
were Egyptians from the Nile, and
there were Nihilists from the Nile.
Arthur Buel was one of them. There
were counts and countesses, and sol
diers and sailors, Red Cross nurses,
bespangled dancers, dukes and duch-
esses, captains and admirals, and all
sorts of characters from every day
life, miners, sports and millionaires.
There was much to admire in fem
mime beauty, dainty slippered feet
and graceful ankles, some brief
skirts, very pretty, and long court
trains, some decollette gowns, and
some decollette, not. There were all
styles, and the sight of bobbing
heads to well timed music, and slid
ing feet, and swishing skirts was
most fetching and harmonious
whole. There were some very strik-
ing costumes. Mrs. Annie r. Hol-

MISS HARPER
PORTRAYS "ZAZA"
GREAT ACTRESS DRAWS LARGE
CROWD TO PAVILION
THEATER.

Tonopah has seen ''Zaza," and has
seen Miss Harper in one of her best
performances. Notwithstanding the
counter attractions. there was a large
crowd at the Pavilion theater. and
Miss Harper was en- rapport with her
audience from the moment of her
first appearance and held the interest
with her wonderful personality toI
the last. She played Zaza with all
the abandon of that wicked and low
ing little siren that We could expect,
and not infrequently shocked the
sensibilities with the tempest of her
passion. She made us like the char
acter, and condone all her faults, for
she garnished vice with the varnish
of impudence, and clothed vulgarity
with the aroma of chic.
We saw only the best side of the
character, for she was the woman
all through and not the wanton, save
for the touch of high life in her early
scenes with Bernard She saw no
sin in their attachment, for it was
the way of her life. Her environ
ments had taught her no better, and
love in a cottage for her and Ber-
nard, was at the worst but a fools
paradise. Her comedy was excellent.
her love making the work of a mas
ter hand. The delicate touches of
a dawning love as portrayed by her
were irresistibly sweet, with the coy
ness of the debutante and just dash
of the boldness of the woman who
had played at such emotions.
Rarely has a stronger scene been
enacted than that when her lover,
aroused with passionate jealousy of
the sanctity of his home, filings
scornfully at her the distinction be-
tween wife and mistress, and then
her sin in all it's nakeduess is ex-
posed to her. She was a glorious
creature in her upbraiding OF the
recreant lover She was the woman
aflame with resentment, but ever
then, her love struggling with hel
scorn, was the passion consuming
her, and while her voice was driving
him from her side, her heart wa!
calling to him to return. And wheI
he was gone she was the weak wo
man again, and she tottered afte
hun, calling to him when too late
ana falling in heap on the floor
from the excess of her emotions. l
was wonderfully real, and a fine bi
, OF acting.
The saving grace of ZaZa is TIL
! last act, when Iaza is herself again
off with the old love. and Bernar,
} tries again to win her love, and sh
} gives him his conge-not in bitter
