his visitors that he has deep interest
in carrying out the tariff revision
plank of the republicans party in good
faith, and he is seeking detailed in
formation as to the makeup of the
next congress. He expresses deep in

BELONGED TO GOV. DEWEY
Valuable Relic Owned by Tate &
KleinpelI of Cassville.

An old rifle still in good condition
and formerly owned by Governor
Dewey, can be seen at Tate & Klein
pell's hardware store. They secured
the same from VIM. Kirschbaum
through an exchange. Mr.. Kirsch-
baum came In possession of the rifle
about twenty four years ago, when it
was offered at public sale. The
rifle bears the stamp of Adolphus
Meier & Go st. Louis, and is per-
haps fifty years old. The barrel is
octagonal and is fully forty inches in
length, the stock extending the entire
length of the barrel. The stock also
has a so-called checkrest. Tate &
Kleinpell prize the relic very highly
and nothing could induce them to part
with it.-Cassville Record.

Mine Explosion at Platteville.

Platteville, Wis, Nov. 20.-At
2 o'clock this morning John Tanzey,
working at the Clare-Piquett mine,
upon going down with fifty sticks of
dynamite, discovered that the drift
was on fire. Throwing down the
dynamite, he FASTENED to get out of
the way, at the same time calling to
his brother Joe, who was working in
the forehead, TO stay where he was.
At his brothers. cry, Joe Tanzey
turned round at the same instant of
the terrific explosion. Besides minor
injuries, he was struck in the head
with piece of rock. resulting in
conclusion of the brain. Although
the injury is very serious, it is ex-
pected that he will recover. Strange
to say, John Tanzey, who carried the
dynamite down escaped without in
jury.

HE RUBBED 1T IN.
Western Union Manager Gave Tormen-
tors the He Haw on Election
Results.

Results.
A good little after election story
comes from Macon, Mo-, where John
G. Schweikhaus. manager for the
Western Union there, has his office
across the street from a news stand
where the local Democratic wiseacres
fortelI events. Occasionally when
things were warming up Schweikhaus.
who is an ardent Republican, would
step across the street to chat with the
boys. His appearance was generally
signal for straw vote on the presi-
dency and the govelnorship. The
average result of these votes was !;
Bryan, %; Taft, l. Cowherd. 26 j;
Hadley, l.
Then they would kindly tell John
he ought to get in the baud wagon ;
that he was too good man to be
running around with a crowd SO
hopelessly IN the minority. They
seemed to have inside information
from all over the country, and when
they got out their paper and pencils
and figured it up there WASH t ghost
of show for the Republican party to
win anything. Taft was beat any
way you looked at it. The boys at
the news stand were all Schweikhaus
friends, and he had a good deal of
confidence in their political sagacity,
but they rubbed it in on him so hard
that it stirred his dander up. They
could outfgure him and outvote him.
but he had a little brass cadingus
over in his shop that began making
roar Tuesday night a good deal
louder than all the Democratic dis
course and argument across the way.
When the manager of the telegraph
company began posting his bulletins
thew thought it was only a quiet little
dodge to get even. But by and by
the newspapers and the long distance
telephone showed Schwekhaus had
been putting out the genuine goods.
When confidence was thoroughly
established in his service, which was
about noon Friday, Mr.. Schweikhaus
bethought himself of the way they
had shot it into him before the cleo
ton, and he got busy grinding out
some little homemade kilograms that
looked for all the world like the real
thing.
WHAT THE MESSAGE SAID.
To say that the local Democracy was
startled on reading this apparently
authentic information on the bulletin
boards is drawing it exceedingly mild

County Clerk Tuf1ey has received
statements from portion of those
who were candidates for Office in
this county, both previous to and
after the primaries, as to the amount
of money expended by them for cleo
ton purposes. The highest of these
is, of course, the account of A w.
Kopp, republican nominee for con-
gress, and includes his expenditures
in all of the counties in the third
congressional district, also taking in
his assessments by the various com.
mittees. The next highest is that
of the successful candidate for sheriff
j. NJ. Harcleroad. Of the % candi-
dates who have filed statements seven
claim to have spent nothing whatever
and three others spent less than ole
dollar each. If they are ever charged
with having run Doodle campaign
they ought to have but little difficulty
in proving an alibi. +" Here's the

information In Which General
Public is Concerned.
Mailable Matter Weighing Less Than
Four Pounds Cannot Be Carried
Outside of Mails.

There are some government regula-
tions concerning rural mail carriers
with which the public are not familiar
and which a reading of the following
paragraphs will set people right upon :
POST CARDS
Post cards, that is cards printed on
such material and of such size as are
prescribed by law, whether written
or printed require but one cent for
their transmission. If however these
cards are made of other material than
card board such as birch bark. leather,
cloth, or have on them any rough
substances such as require that they
shall be enclosed in a envelope, it
they have writir g on them require d
two cent stamp.

PACKAGES

Carriers are often asked to take
packages to patrons living on their
routes This they would be perfectly
willing to do il paid for the trouble,
but the postal laws do not permit it
except in two cases: Either the
matter carried must be of such a
character as to make it unavailable.
Or it must weigh more than four
pounds.
Unavailable matter is not always
easy to determine but generally
speaking it is such matter as fruit or
vegetables liable to decomposition,
comb-honey, guano, any matter ex-
haling bad odor, poisons, matter
liable to spontaneous combustion. or
vinous or other liquors canuot be
carried in any case.
When patrons wish carriers to
bring articles which are not mailable.
they must themselves request the
carrier so to do, must arrange to have
the package delivered to him and
must pay him for carrying it. The
government does not permit carriers
to carry anything for hire that can
be mailed and the rate for all mer
chandise is one cent an ounce.
