ODD FELLOWS MAKE GOOD PROGRESS
 AT MEETING
SETTLE QUESTIONS WHICH HAVE AGITATED MEMBERSHIP FOR
 SEVERAL YEARS

SEATTLE, Sept. 21.--The sovereign grand lodge of Odd Fellows today de- cided two questions that have been un. der discussion for years.
 The delegates refused to reduce the age limit of membership from 2l io IS years, and also voted not to make the restriction against members in con, nection with the liquor traffic any stronger.
 It is said the liquor amendment, voted down today, would have excluded even grape growers if literally enforced.
 The question of giving sanction to the Muscovites, an amusement branch of the order, on the lines of the Mys. tic Shriners in Masonry, is to come be. fore the sovereign lodge. The Ladies Militant, composed of the wives and other relatives of the Patriarch 's Mil tant, are again seeking recognition, af- ter frequent rebuffs.

H|NTz ASKS MONEY HE SLIPPED ID
 H [ N BY
FORMER EMPLoYE OF SANITARY DEPARTMENT HEARD FROM
 IN TEXAS TOWN

Fred Hintz, an employe of the health department, who disappeared suddenly while charges of grating against for mer Sanitary Officer Charles Henry were being probed into, is now living ir Knippa, Texas.
 Hintz's place of residence was dis. closed yesterday when a letter was re. ceived from him by Mayor Alfred Kin. ney.
 Hintz claimed before he left tha he had paid Henry various sums, aggrc. gating sS, in order to hold his position. His letter contained a request that the money be forwarded to him.
 That amount was deducted from tbc salary of Henry, when he received his last check from the city, but it is hari. ly likely that Hintz will receive tho money. It cannot be paid except upon application of Henry and it may be tho latter will not care to make request for the money.
 In his letter, Hintz intimated that he left town because his presence here wgs not desired either by Charles Henry or former Poundmaster Herman Wolf.

COMMENTATOR NEW POSTOFF|CE IN
 BUILDING
BEING INSTALLED FOR OPENING NOT LATER THAN FIRST

MORE THAN 25O0 LOCK BOXES
OTHER EQUIPMENT WILL MAKE OFFICE ONE OF MOST COM
 PLETE IN ARIZONA

When the Globe Building company announced, on taking the contract for the new postofliee, that when the office was completed it would be one of the finest in the territory, something very near the proper report was circulated.
 The new fixtures are now being in stalled, affording an excellent idea of what the office will present by way of appearance when finished, and the i'm. provement is remarkable.
 The entire south side is taken up by lock boxes, of which there will be $500 or more. At the rear, two general de livery windows are provided. On the north side, are located the registry, money order and stamp windows.
 Ample room will be provided for the patrons of the office and with two general delivery windows, there should be little waiting to secure mail
 To facilitate the general delivery work, a set of special letter cabinets will be installed
 These are arranged with the names aiphdDetlcalil ulNiueu 50 tnat each compartment will contain the mail of only few people. When this system is put to use if will be matter of see. onds rather than minutes, for the clerks to determine whether or not there is any mail for given person.
 The work room for the mail clerks is very complete, everything being ar ranged with convenience and saving of time in view. Ample space will be provided for pouch racks, permitting several sorting clerks to work at one time. In every detail regarding the handling of either incoming or outgo. ing mail, little in the way of time or labor saving devices has been over looked
 The new lock boxes are n decided ini- provement over the present type. Only one knob is used, turn to the right and left, to the proper numbers, releas- ing the catch.
 In spite of the simplicity of the lock it is practically non-pickable. There is nothing to indicate the possible combi- nation and the act of opening the box throws the tumblers of the lock so that

JUDGE LEWIS VISITS PROPERTY IN
 DISPUTE
HOLDS HEARING IN CHAMBERS YESTERDAY IN RIGHT OF
 WAY MATTER
WILL REACH DECISION TODAY
RAILROAD MUST PUT UP CASH BOND BEFORE PROCEED
 ING WITH WORK

In an effort to reach an agreement as to the amount of cash deposit which shall he furnished by the Gila Valley Glohe k Northern railway before the work of constructing the Arizona Com merciaI extension to Copper Hill may proceed through the property of II. ! Anderson and l. B. Blake, n lengthy legal battle wus waged before Judge Lewis yesterday, by the attorneys of the two factions.
 The railroad company was represent cd by Samuel Patee, of Tucson and r C. Jacobs of this city. Rawlins & Lit tie appeared in the interests of Ander son X Blake.
 The matter was taken up in a cham Der session, the object of the hearing being to establish the probable amount of damages which would be incurred by the building of the road through the property in question.
 Witnesses for the plaintiff company testified that the damages would prob. ably not exceed 5000.
 On the other hand, witnesses for An. derson & Blake held that the property would be damaged to the extent of from sl5,0O0 to $20,OO0.
 Judge Lewis was hardly satisfied with the evidence, and in order to in form himself more definitely with re. gard to the probable value of the prop erty, he visited the Anderson < Blake property, in company with Attorneys F. C. Jacobs, F. c. Little and Charles D. Reppy, right of way agent for tho Ran. dolph system.
 The property was thoroughly inspect ed. Judge Lewis asked for further ar. gument from the attorneys, however, before fixing the amount of deposit and as result, it is probable that de, cision will be reached today.
 Under the present territorial laws, it is necessary for the railroad company to put up cash in sum satisfactory to the judge before whom hearing is had. Work can then be carried on, pending the final settlement of the con demnation suit. which is now pending
 This suit will probably be ;hrashed out early in the November term of court.

when closed it cannot be opened again without turning the knob to the proper figures.
 As far as possible the patrons of the present post office will be given their present lock box in the new office. This win be impossible in quite number of cases owing to the fact that the numbering system is different. Practi cally everyone, however, whose box number ends in numeral not larger than : will receive the same number as the one now assigned to them.
 The work of fitting up the new office is going rapidly forward and it should be finished in ample time for formal opening October first.

BETTER WITHOUT THE PILLOW
Doctor Declares That sounder and
More HeaIthfuI Sleep is Secured.
Without Its Use.

Pillows are little more than fad,
and rather harmful one at that"
said doctor. 'They should really
only be used by those who sleep on
their sides. as they are injurious to
others. When you sleep on your side
your shoulder prevents your head
from lying level on the bed, and pill
lows are useful to raise the head to
this level. The natural and most
healthful position for the ordinary
person in sleeping is for ones head
to be kept perfectly even, just as it
would be standing up. Now, for the
one who lies on his back while sleep
ing, no pillow is needed to keep the
head in this position, and yet 80 per
cent. Of the persons who sleep on
their backs use pillows, while those
who sleep on their sides use far more
pillow than is necessary. People get
used to having their heads and shanl-
ders propped high up, and imagine
they could not sleep any other way,
but, as a matter of fact. If they would
try sleeping with little or no pillow
they would not only find that they
would feel better in the morning, but
also would actually be more comfort
able in bed and sleep much sounder
throughout the night"

ported to have resulted in the resig-
nation of Henry G. Cox, Ralph Law

devised plan also contemplated by the
annexing Of the hitherto affiliated
school of music, as one of the recog-
nized colleges in the institution. rank
ing with the college of liberal arts,
college of music, etc. Because Of these
plans, concerning which they were not
consulted, the three members of the
faculty entered their designations, ac-
cording to report. 1t is also under
stood that Effie Mae Proffitt, the d.
rector of the school, is threatening to
resign.
Henry G. Cox has been one of the
7ainstays of the musical interests of
Iowa City. He organized and drilled
the Choral Society of Iowa City. and
was INC moving spirit In all musical

TO PRISON WITH HUBBY
ottumwa Woman's Request to Be
Sentenced to Anamosa Reformatory
With Husband is Complied With by
the Court.

Ottumwa, May 10.-The resembla nee
of the wife's fidelity to her husband
with the clinging ivy TO the garden
wall, was amply illustrated in the dis
trict court, when rather than be sep
arated from her husband, Mrs. Charles
Shultz, after being granted a new trial,
begged with copious tears streaming
down her cheeks that she be given
sentence with her husband in the re-
formatory in Anamosa. The court
granted her request and the thought of
undergoing the period of punishment
in the state reformatory was as nothing
compared to the joy visible when she
learned that she might be with her
husband.
Charles Sfultz gave his age as 90
years. and owing to this being his
first conviction, ten years in the re-
formatory at Anamosa was meted out
to him by the court, who told the
prisoner that his sentence was of the
indeterminate character and would
not exceed that length of time, but
by proper behavior might be lessened.
