FRAUD AND
Gompers' Efforts for Bryan Getting
Down t o Ordinary Crime.

New York, Sept. 5.-Union No. 1 of
the National Federation of Postofice
Clerks is aroused over a postal card
bearing a copy of its official seal, to-
gether with a picture of Samuel Com
lpers. which was sent broadcast
through the mails last Saturday.
The officers OF the union said that
the use of the seal was not authorized
and that the purpose evidently was to
create the impression that the or
ganization is supporting Mr.. Gompers
and his views regarding the demo-
cratic nominee for the presidency,
which would be contrary TO the postal
laws and regulations. The postofice
clerks held a meeting and adopted res
olutions repudiating the circulation OF
the card, which is described as a fraud
and a forgery.

Western Roads May Borrow.
I do not believe there can be a
freight car shortage this year. While
some western roads may be equipped
to handle all the trafic offered them,
there Is q very large amount Of empty
equipment in the east which will be
available for them. But there Will
be a al shortage as soon as business
fully ~revives. The railroads are doing
now what they did four years ago.
Then they stopped buying cars on the
theory that they would not have any
more business than their equipment
could handle"

COVERED THE PLoW
TO AVOID RIDIcULE.

Fred Coolidge, formerly of the Mill
brook ranch, but who left here with
his family six or seven years ago to
go to the New Fork country, has
brought his family here for the winter
and may decide to locate permanently.
Mr.. Coolidge and Mr.. Bell told this
morning, with considerable merriment,
of the beginning of agriculture on the
LARAMIE plains. About eleven years
ago they bought a riding pillow from
the w. H. Holiday company. The
pillow had been standing around with
out any offers until Mr.. Holiday told
Bell and Coolidge that he would cut
the price in two If they would take the
pillow out of the way. They bought 1t
and took 1t to the ranch, covering it
in the wagon with a wagon sheet to
avoid ridicule from their neighbors. 1t
was used successfully that year, and
Mr.. Bell declares that was the begin,
ming of the present agricultural devel-
opment of the Laramie plain.

May ArbItrate differences.

Providence, R. l., Sept. 5.-There is
a possibility that arbitration may be
called upon to end the trouble between
the local street railway men and their
employers, which threatens the precip-
-itation of a general strike on the troll
ley lines operated by the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad in
three states.
Arose Over Discharged Men.
Should such a strike be ordered, 49,
900 men would be involved. The trou-
BILE arose over the discharge of fifty
tour men employed by the local COM
pany. Union leaders declare the men
were discharged because Of the preju-
dice of the company's officials against
the union.
