At the present time and during the
next week the postoffices will be easily
the busiest places in the country, and by
the same token the clerks the hardest
worked men and women TO DE found any

Several extra clerks have been added &c

holiday rush.
II is well TO be remembered that the
dead letter office is filled with letters
and packages each year that should and
would have reached their destinations
had they been properly addressed Then,
too, had the senders only been thought
ful enough 10 write their names and adj
dresses on the upper left-hand corners

has been the cause of much needless sor-

The postmaster general at Washington
has addressed circular letters TO all the
the people to be especially careful in
mailing packages and letters during the
rush season.
Some Timely Suggestions.
Among the rules laid down by the pos
tai department for the guidance Of the
general public are the following:
All matter that is to be mailed should
have attached to il the necessary amount
of postage stamps, and otherwise pre-
pared for dispatch before it is brought
TO the postoffice or station
The address of every letter or package
should be written plainly, and it should
include the name and address of the
sender written plainly in the upper left
hand corner. Packages should be
wrapped securely, so as to avoid or les
sen the chance of breakage: but they are
not TO be sealed against inspection unless
paid for at the letter rate of postage,

Work Like Trojans and are

New Fire Engine Does Good Work
--ConflagIation Starts IN a
Barn.

J-altue village was visited by a
disasterous fire Thursday afternoon,
which threatened for time TO sweep
the entire town. Tyre barns wele
totally destroyed, the Baptist church
was damaged and score or mo- e
of residence houses were saved fronl
destruction through the work Of the
1aRue volunteer fire department.
The fire started in a barn owned
by John Alt, located i'm the north
ewst part of town The building was
mass of flames when the fire was
discovered. Tie barn was filled with
hay. coal and a quantity of house
hold goods. A barn owned by ID.
ID. Clifton became ignited from the
blaze of the Alt building and with
In thirty minutes it was in a state of
ruins. Two horses and three bug
giles ware removed from the building
five minutes before 1t collapsed. a
large barn owned by s. r. Riley was
the third and last. barn to be swept
away. The blaze continued to
spread and soon the structure was
enveloped in fire. The roof of the
Baptist church was slightly dam
aged by fire and for a time II was
feared that the large building could
not be saved
AT 80 o'clock Thursday after
noon the firefghters had the flames
we'll under control. Practically all
OF the residents Of the town turned
ont to assist in coralling the fire and
the greatest excitement prevailed.
TIE fire department was greatly
handicapped for a time by not being
a'ple to secure sufficient water from
town wells. Tho hose were finally
laid to the river, and after that the
fire was fought more effectively. The
new gasoline fire engine which was
recently purchased by the, LaRue
council, came In mighty handy and
had it not been for it's services It il
probable that the entire town might
have been swept away.
The damage will not exceed $4,000
and the loss is largely covered by in
suranee.

German Government is Con
sidering a Raise in the
Tax Rate.

Berlin, Sept. j0--Ihe government
Is preparing the public mind for a
far reaching plan tor the increase OF
imperial taxation and the reduction
of the imperial debt which will
be submitted to the reichstag when
this body reassembles in Novem-
ber.
The inequality between income
and expenditures has burdened the
empire with steadily increasing
charges, The imperial debt, (which
rose from $4,OOO,OOO In 1877 to $575,-
100000 in 1900, has increased by
$5O0,O0O,OO0 during the last eight
years so that, including the treasury
bills, the government is now pay
ing every year S4O,OO0,000 in interest
on $1125,OOO,OOO.
The governments present commit
mants for future expenditures show
that this Indebtedness will be in
creased by S5OO,0O0,0OO within five
years unless systematic measures
are applied TO restore the equill-
brium between income and expendi-
ture and unless a permanent scheme
to wipe out this debt by means oi
a sinking fund be adopted.
