ANONYMOUS LETTERS FOR HER
WASHINGTON GIRL PERSECUT-
ED BY UNPLEASANT GIFTS.
Complains to Post Office Department,
Which Has Put inspectors on
Trail of Offender.

The Post ONCE Department is puZZling
over the mystery of anonymous and sour
rilous letters sent to Miss Olive Cleveland
Of Washington. When not puZzling the
department is laughing over the awful
rage of the woman accused OF writing
them.
Last summer. a season when young men
escort young women to pleasure resorts,
a certain gentleman who shall be name
less went with friends to one or two near
at-hand places where there were merry
go-rounds and chute-the-chutes. ice
cream dancing. fortune tellers and the
like of that.
\ few days later Miss Olive Cleveland.
who had known the gentleman for five
years. came back from her vacation. Then
she began to receive annoying and anony-
nous letters. sundry packages and gifts
of candy. supposedly poisonous.
All the letters referred to Miss Clcve-
land with q great deal of scorn and bore
references to the nameless gentleman.
When the first letter came Miss Cleve-
land says she was so upset she contem-
plated suicide. Afterward she thought
better Of it. She turned the missive
over to the postal authorities. who ques-
toned her closely. and finally got her
TO mention the name of lady who she
thought had sent 1T.
The postal authorities thereupon sent
a man to look into the matter, and re-
ceived a terrific verbal jolt from the
lady. The memory of that interview
brings smiles to every one of the postal
authorities who knows of the case ex-
cept the unfortunate man who conduct
ed the interview.
Other letters came to the Cleveland
home. All of them siZZled with scorn
and uncompimentary terms. All of them
were given to the postal authorities.
a little package containing four pieces
of cheap chocolate candy were left at the
door. A kind druggist volunteered the
informal ton that they were covered with
rough on rats. Another package was
left at the door by messenger who rang
the bell and ran.
The detectives of the Post Office De-
partment are working on as much OF the
case as comes under their jurisdiction
and have not closed the case yet. 1t was
said at the post Office this morning that
the mystery would be solved, If possible.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

In the year 1895 the publisher OF
the Press, together with thousands
of other republicans throughout the
United States. and more especially in
the west, left the party to form what
was known as the silver republican
party, the action being based on the
silver question. or the free coinage OF
silver. The democratic party having
taken up the question. the silver re-
publicans Joined 1t In the contest to
save silver. Since then the discovery
and large output OF gold from Alaska
has eliminated the silver issue. We
have Of late years differed with the
republican tarin policy and now that
the party has modified Its views on
the question, and In the tariff bin
which passed the house yesterday re-
moved protection from the Standard
OIL monopoly and greatly reduced 1T
on the products Of the steel and kin
dred trusts, We feel that we can con-
aistently return to the party. and the
Press will hereafter be aligned with

RICHARD BARRET
PASSES AWAY
One Of the Most Noted Educators of
Iowa Succumbs to Effects
Of Operation.

DES MONIES, Ia, March Ar. c.
Barrett, NJ. A.. LII. B, for years one
of Iowa's most prominent educators,
passed away at the Methodist hospi-
tai Wednesday morning at o'clock as
the result of mastoid operation
which he was compelled to undergo
last week He entered the hospital
about two weeks ago, after suffering
with his ear since the beginning of the
year, and during the last few days
the attending specialists have held out
very scanty hopes for ais recovery.
Despite this fact, Mr.. Barrett's
death comes as a tremendous shock
to his contemporaries and friends. He
had barely reached the zenith OF his
influence, after filling almost every
capacity on his way up the ladder of
promotion, and his sudden demise de-
prives Iowa's educational forces of a
ripened wisdom and trained sagacity
which men We're coming to regard as
OF inestimable value and Importance.
