TOWN TOPICS

Once more We are compelled to re.
mind our readers that there is a new
postal law ia vogue. We have received
a letter from Mr.. Lawshe, third assist.
ant postmaster general, giving addition
al evidence that he is very much in
earnest in his determination to enforce
the new regulations governing second
class mail matter aud arrearage sub
scriptiOus. With Mr.. Lawshe's letter
was copy of the new postal laws, and
discussion to some length Of the rul-
ing. Among other things in this dis
cussion We read "As matter of law,
an expired subscription is no subscrip-
,ion at all, aud the Postma9ter-tieneral
is under no obligation whatever to recog-
nize II as "a subscription. or 80 regard a
list composed solely or partly of such
subscriptions. If the subscriber does
not renew his subscription, then he il
not a subscriber, and strictly the pub
Usher has no legal right to include him
in the list of subscribers for single
day after the term for which the sub
scriptiou is paid has passed.
Thus it is argued that "a list not paid
in advance is not legitimate list and
not entitled to the special privileges of
the second class of postage.
The HERALD is doing its utmost to
bring its list to comply With the ruling.

Presentation to F. w. StoIte.

After more than fourteen years serv-
ice in the Custom House, Mr.. f. W.
Stolte, with his family left town last
Saturday for Buffalo, n. Y, where he
will take a position with the Buffalo
Specially Company. This community
will miss greatly the presence of these
genial people who have taken such an
active interest in all its affairs.
On Friday evening, Mr.. Stote's asso-
ciates in the Customs service, with their
wives, surprised him, his wife aud
daughter, by calling ell masse at the res
idence of l.. B. Jones to bid them good
bye, and extend best wishes for their
happiness and prosperity III their new
home. Mr.. Dale, Deputy Collector in
charge of this port, while presenting
Mr.. Stolte with a watch chain and ma
sonic charm, the gift of his present and
former Office companions, said that Mr..
Stolte's course Of action was unique in
that it ives an almost unheard of event
for government officer to resign his po
sition unless obliged to do so. He spoke
feelingly of the loss the office would sus
tain in the departure of Mr.. Stolte, not
only on account of his ability as a gov.
eminent official, but more especially, he
being of such disposition, that he hac
gained deeper affection among his fel
low workers than he probably realized
himself.
The recipient responding, expressed
his regret at leaving place where HI

PITY FOR PREACHER.
Byers Incident and Rev.
McClure's Apology, Still Dis

GAMBLING HOUSES CLOSED
GAMBLING HOUSES CLOS
Majority of Citizens Are Rejoicing
Over That Fact - General Opinion
is That Mcclure Was Driven to Un-
fortunate Apology by Members OF
Congregation Opposed to Byers.
Special TO Times Republican.


Council Bluffs. Jan 29.-The second
chapter in the law enforcement cru
SADIE in Council Bluffs, was fully as
dramatic as the first, tho perhaps not
as effective as to results. Only pity
is expressed for Rev. Mcclure, VINO
publicly and from the pulpit of his
church. offered an apology Tor inc
Byers meeting of one week ago.
That Rev. Mcclure was driven to the
act by members of his congregation
who politically are opposed to Byers,
is the concensus of opinion. Had he
STONED at that and refused to ac-
knowledge the affront to Byers, he
would not have been criticised. but
unfortunately for him, he saw fit the
following day to make a denial that
he had made any apology yet admit
ting that he had not been misquoted
in the newspaper accounts OF his Sun
day talk to his people.
The fact remains that the gambling
houses were closed the day following
Mr.. Byers' appearance and address
here, visible evidence that his strict
ures on the officers had had some
effect And aside from "a very few
who have lived long in the belief that
the city could not be run without the
blood money taken from the gamblers.
the people of Council Bluffs are re-
jocing that the houses are closed and
they will see to it that they are kept
closed.
An evidence that the ministerial as
ISOLATION as body does not share
Rev. McClure's feeling concerning the
Byers address, Rev. Charles Mayne,
president Of the association, was in
structed at meeting of that body
yesterday. to write letter to MIR.
Byers, correcting some differences
which the latter. it is thought, might
have drawn from newspaper articles
regarding the public statement of Rev.
Mcclure.
The formal resolutions embodying
the views of the association We're pass
ed, but the concensus of opinion, as
expressed by several speakers. was
that the attorney general might have
been expected to take some latitude
in his remarks, and that, in view of
the feeling that the main purpose of
the association in having him come
here, had been attained, his political
utterances and personalities should be
overlooked.
