The present capacity of the Mil
ford Postoffice is inadequate to the
proper transaction of the business,
and it is the duty of the business
people of Milford to see that some
relief is given. The mails have to
be piled on the floor during the
sorting over, while the rural free
delivery men are compelled to have
four work on two tables. The
business Of the Office justifes de-
mand for better facilities, and we
are sure that by proper effort the
preliminary work for the new post
Office can be got underway this
year but in all probability, nothing
will be done if the business people
sit supinely by and let matters drift.
We have the site, now lets have the
building. The government has pro-
vided for it, so get after it. If it |
requires a visit at Washington, we
will be one to make the journey,
with a committee for that purpose.
# those interested will meet at the
Milford Club Room this evening,
omething or some plan can be
VOWED.

Fruit Farmers Get Better Terms From
Railroad Company.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Coma.
pany's first important concession, grow
ing out Of the arbitration meetings with
the fruit growers Of the Delaware Pen
insula came last week.
Division Freight Agent Charles E.
Kingston called at the office of the Pen.
insula Horticultural Society and verb.
ally informed Secretary Webb Of the
several concessions, which will save
the fruit growers a small fortune.
The company had previously worked
hardship upon the growers by issu-
ing an order that no cars would be
shelved, thereby making it impossible
to use the frail "pesch baskets" hold
ing half to five-eighths Of bushel. in
shipping peaches, pears and tomatoes. |
Particularly was this hardship with
the tomato grower, as the cheapness of
this product makes it necessary to use
cheap package or lose money, and
the peach basket is by far the cheapest
After the farmers ascertained that
the railroad company positively refused
to revoke this order, then came the ad.
ditional hardship Of not only using ex.
pensive crates and boxes, but Of paving

return of the package entirely free of C

According to the old rate Of one cent fl
per basket and five cents per crate for v

How many parents or tax payers
Of Kent and Sussex counties have
visited their district schools during
the past school year How many of
you know of the condition of the
school houses where your children
are passing one-fourth of their life
now? You pay your taxes and
think your duty discharged, but you
are making an awful mistake.
Visit the school occasionally. See
that conditions are right and the
work is done properly. You en-

THE price of beef has mounted
to such height that to the family
Provider it is alarming; and there
is no immediate prospect ofits low
ering. All other meats have kept
in line with beef until the question
of living within the income is an
absorbing one indeed. There is a
scarcity of cattle everywhere, and
calves are bringing the same
amount to the grower, that a young
steer did twenty years ago.

is indeed fortunate. More than
half the districts have no pump, or
other means Of getting water for
drinking, or cleaning but even on
these grounds it is hard to excuse
the lack of interest, yet when it is
considered that not five per cent oil
the school houses in the county are
insured, the failure to provide
pump to supply water in case

the same. But even this neglect of

GOOD WRESTLING
MATCH IN SIGHT
Carl A. Brown, Who Once
Defeated GOtch, Present
Champion, Agrees to
Throw Sherrard Three
Times in an Hour

Some time ago Carl A. Brown wrote
the Tribune asking if it would be pos
sible to get on a wrestling match
with Billy Sherrard of this city This
letter was handed to Sherrard and
a. handicap match has been arranged
at catch as catch can between the
men for Monday night for side
purse and the gate money
According to the agreement Brown
is to throw Sherrard three times in
one hour and some good work is look
ed for.
Brown, eight years ago, won over
Frank Gotch, present champion
wrestler of America, in Iowa, and af-
ter that was with that famous wrest-
Ter for some time and is said to be a
very good all round man, though his
age is now somewhat against him.
His home is in Detroit, Mich, but he
has just completed a circuit of north
west Canada and was visiting rela.
tives in the northern part of the state
when he heard of Sherrard and de-
sired bout with him. He is a con-
siderably larger man than Sherrard,
hence the handicap. which Brown
thinks is stiff one, but is confident
that he can overcome it. The match
will take place at the Gem theater
Monday.

in this year of grace, certainly shall
respond to any call which may be
made upon me. l desire it under
stood that in no sense am to be a
candidate for the purpose of defeat
ing Mr.. Bryan or any other man, but
that the only consideration which
would induce me to allow the use
of my name would be a feeling that
might be necessary to the cause.
If the democratic party should see
fit to nominate Mr.. Bryan or anyone
else, the election would meet with
my approval and the nominee would
certainly have my unqualified sup
port, as should expect his support
if conditions were reversed.
In order that there may be no

question, that if the nomination
came to me, I certainly should not

THE WANING Of
INSURGENTISM
HIGHLAND COUNTY INSURGENT
GIVES HIS VIEWS ON THE
SITUATION
SINCE THAT GRAND FORKS CON.
FERENCE INsURGENTlsM IN
BAD REPUTE

Globe-Gazette: A prominent mem
Der of the insurgent or progressive
wing of the republican party in this
county said to a Globe-Gazette man
this week:
II think the insurgent wave is
practically over and especially is this
true in our county. Some democratic
leaders are patting us on the back,
expecting to get support from us for
their nominees again, but I don't see
that there is any gain by cutting off
your finger just because there is a
sore on it.
Zone reason for the insurgents not
being as strong and enthusiastic as
they were is the attitude taken by
those who were supposed to be lead
ers at the Grand Forks convention. 1t
was very evident at that convention
that for every one who was there for
an honest and sincere purpose there
were five who came to build political
fences and get an Office for them
selves. Tom Marshall, who has al
ways been with the old machine, was
there and was SO anxious to get on
what he believed would be a new
band wagon that he knocked several
of the insurgents down in his race for
it.
Senator Hansbrough is making a
grand stand play to the people now
about the International Harvester
trust, expecting to gain a few votes
by it. He also tried to make a
splurge with the Society of Equity to
get stand in with them and now he
is trying to get insurgent support by
shouting Mckenzie is against him.
"Our fight has been for state wide
primary law and against Mckenzie in
the national committee, and against
one man rule, whether it be McKen-
zie or any other man.
Our purpose primarily was just
and sincere, but when all the outcasts.
soreheads and chronic Office seekers
jump into the insurgent ranks for the
purpose of feathering their own nests.
want to be excused asI am neither
sorehead nor seeking an office .
"Do you think there will be an in.
surgent ticket and stalwart ticket
at the primaries in the county, wa
asked.
mo, there will be no insurgent
ticket, neither will there be a stall
wart ticket; we are going to hsve q
ticket which has for years been good
enough for me; We are going to have
republican ticket and we are going
to stand by whoever the majority
the party at the primaries say are the
nominees. The words insurgentism
and stalwartism will be overshadowed
by the word republicanism.'
