BIG POSTAL DEFICIT
EXCESS OF EXPENDITURES IS
GREATEST IN HISTORY.
PARCELS POST PLAN IS FAVORED
Postmaster General Suggests Such
Measure as Remedy for
Conditions.

Washington, d. Gin announe-
ing for the last fiscal year the biggest
postal deficit in the history of the
country, 6,910, 27S.99, Postmaster
General Meyer suggested THURSDAY a
means by which such deficits a be
prevented in the future. He wants a
special local parcels post established
on rural routes.
81 am firmly convinced" he said,
that this would tend to wipe out this
postal deficit, and would finally make
the rural delivery self-sustaining, be-
sides being of convenience to the far
mer, and a boon to the retail country
merchant. There are nov in opera
ton more than 10000 rural routes,
serving a population of about 1S,0OO,-
900 people, and should an average OF
So pounds of merchandise be carried
by the rural carrier on each trip
throughout the year, it is estimated
that $4,000, 900 would be realized.
The rate would be S cents for the first
pound and 2 cents for each additional
pound up to IL pounds, the maximum
weight of a package"

WIRELESS DANGER SIGNAL.
Union Pacific Tests Device for Warn.
ing Engineers.

Omaha, Neb.-To be able to
signal the cab of a moving
locomotive has long been considered by
railroad men as the most desirable
achievement in the effort to prevent
wrecks, and this, it is believed, has
been accomplished by the Union Pa
cific as the result of a series of ex-
periments extending over two years.
By mean of wireless telegraphy a
station agent is enabled to signal a
train between stations and notify the
engineer of danger. A neat contriv-
anc is placed in the cab of the loco
motive consisting of a signal device
similar to that used in the block sig
nails. A bell and a red light are used
to attract the engineers attention.
The wireless signal may be operated
in connection with the block signal
device and it is so arranged that a train
may be stopped after it has passed
a station at which it should have been
stopped and thus avert impending
danger.

PEONAGE IN FLORIDA
GOVERNMENT CHARGES WORK
MEN WERE HELD AS SLAVES.
GUARDED TO PREVENT ESCAPE
In Effort to Win Discharge, Says At
torney, Some Refused to Work
and Were Brutally Beaten.

New York, N. Y.-What was as
serted to be the practical NARROWING
of 5000 men in the wild regions OF
Florida and their detention there I'M
der hard labor for a period of several
months, was dealt with at length
Wednesday before Judge Hough and a
jury in the circuit court, in the course
of the trial of the governments case
against employers and agents of the
Florida East Coast Railway company
for alleged violation of the statute
prohibiting "peonage, slavery and en-
forced servitude." The men under in
dictment are Francisco Sabbia, Ed
ward j. TRAY, David E. Hardy and
Frank A. Hugg.
Deputy Attorney General Glenn E.
listed outlined the prosecutions case,
%contending the treatment accorded
the workmen supplied to the Florida
East, Coast company by the defend
ants was nothing short of slavery.
The government would show, he said,
that in 1905 men had been induced by
alluring advertisements to apply for
employment in the South. Through
out the long journey they were given
nothing but stale bread and bologna
sausage, and when they reached the
land end of their journey, many re-
fused to leave the train. A hose was
turned on them, and in this manner
the entire consignment had been driv-
en- aboard a waiting steamer.
When the ultimate destination was
reached, said Mr.. listed, the men
found the paradise that had been
promised them vas a barren wilder
ness, overrun with reptiles and rel
omous snakes, where no place to sleep
had been provided for them.
Their high wages" the prosecutor
declared, were slips of paper ex-
changeable at the company's store.
The escape that many sought was i'm
possible.
Thinking to be discharged, some
refused to work. These" Mr.. listed
said, were threatened with death,
and brutally beaten. Finally, some
were able to smuggle letters through
to relatives, and in this manner the
government had been apprised of the
conditions existing"

GLENN SCORES COMMISSION.
Says Talks Look Like Attempt to
lnjure the State.

Raleigh, N. C.-Resenting the as
sertion of DR.. Charles w. Styles
of the Public and Marine hospital
service before the meeting of the
Roosevelt commission of country life
here wednesday that the blood Of the
children of this state was deficient in
color, Gov. R. B. Glenn issued a state
ment Thursday night in which he
said: .
Il am not at all pleased with the
character of the talks made at the
meeting here, as they had more of the
appearance of being an attempt to
injure the state than to improve it.
Il do not believe that the coming
of such commissions tends to do any
good when the statements made by
them are in direct conflict with true
conditions and are given out without
any thorough investigation by actual
v~isitations among the people"

UPWARD START
After Changing from Coffee to Postum.

Many a talented person is kept back
because of the interference of coffee
with the nourishment of the body.
This is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as is
often the Ease with talented persons.
There is a simple, easy way to get rid
of coffee evils and a Tenn. lady's ex-
perience along these lines is worth
considering. She says:
almost from the beginning of the
use of coffee it hurt my stomach. By
the time / was fifteen I was almost a
nervous wreck, nerves all ulstrung, no
strength to endure the most trivial
thing, either work or fun.
There was scarcely anything /
could eat that would agree with me.
The little l did eat seemed TO give me
more trouble than it was worth. /
finally quit coffee and drank hot
water, but there was SO little food ]
could digest, / was literally starving;
was so weak ! could not sit up long
at a time.
1T was then a friend brought me a
hot cup of Postum. l drank part of it
and after an hour l felt as though l
had had something to eat = felt
strengthened. That was about five
years ago, and after continuing Post
UNI in place Of coffee and gradually
getting stronger, to-day l can eat and
digest anything / want, walk as much
as want. My nerves are steady.
Il believe the first thing that did me
any good and gave me an upward
start, was Postum, and I use 1t alto
gether now instead Of coffee There's
a Reason."

rate of increase fell from 9 per cent,
where it has been for the last few

SOME REMARKS FROM MINNIE.
sofa EDITORS.
what They Think Of Western Canada


A party of editors from a number OF
cities and towns of Minnesota recently
made a tour of Western Canada, and
having returned to their homes they
are now telling in their respective
newspapers Of what they saw on their
Canadian trip. The West st. Paul
Times recalls the excursion Of the
Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to
the Pacific Coast ten years ago. Re-
ferring to what has happened in the
interval the writer says: Thousands
of miles of new railway lines have
been built, and the development Of
the country has made marvellous
strides. Millions of acres, then lying
in their wild and untouched state,
have since been transferred into grain
fields. Towns have sprung up as IL
by the wand of a magician, and their
development is now in full progress.
It is a revelation, a record of conquest
by settlement that is remarkable"
The Hutchinson Leader character
lies Western Canada as "a great coun-
try undeveloped. The summer out
Ing" it says, was an %eye-opener to
every member Of the party, wen those
who were on the excursion through
Western Canada ten years ago, over
considerable of the territory covered
this year, being amazed at the prog
ress and advancement made in that
short space of time. The time will
come when Western Canada will be
the bread-basket of the world. 1t
was a delightful outing through a
great country Of wonderful POSSIBLE
tiles and resources"
Since the visit of these editors the
Government has revised its land regu-
~lations and it is o possible to Sc
cure 100 acres of wheat land at $500
an acre in addition to the 100 acres
that may be homesteaded.
The crops of 1908 have been splen-
did, and reports from the various dis
tricts show good yields, which at pres
ent prices will give excellent profits to
the farmers.
From Milestone, Saskatchewan,
there are reported yields Of thirty bush
els Of spring wheat to the acre, while
the average is about 20 bushels. The
quality of grain to be shipped from
this point will be about 100000 bush
els. Information regarding free lands
and transportation will be freely given
by the Canadian Government Agents.
