Foolish People Kick When
They Lose Money Care
IessIy Sent in Mails.
THEY IGNORE WARNINGS
PERSIST IN SENDING COIN IN EN-
ENVELOPES INSTEAD OF OBTAIN
ING POSTAL ORDERS OR MAIL
ING CHECKS.

BY the number of complaints that
are made to Postmaster J. A. Spoken
hier, concerning money being lost in
the mails, he has about reached the
conclusion that some people are eth
err very foolish or very careless.
Since he has taken his office. it has
been his desire to educate the people
not to send money through the mails
except when a postal order or money
order of draft is used.
Paper money is apt to be stolen by
some INSCRIPTIONS clerk or carrier
and money is apt to wear a hole in
the envelop and drop out. Both meth
DDS are very risky and the only way
the postal authorities advise money
to be sent is by postal order or some
such method whereby the sender is
protected.
Explained Postal Laws.
Less than year ago Mr.. Spoken
hier had printed at his own expense
nearly 1000 circulars explaining the
postal laws, about which every one
should know The effect of these
letters seems to be hardly noticeable
at times as the number of complaints
about sending money through the
| mail ISIS till quite large. The follow
ing is the postal law relative to send
ing money:
Do not mail money, currency or
| coin. in ordinary letters. If not con-
venient to get a money order. regis
ter
The safest and best way to send
money by mail is to purchase a money
order, which may be had at the post
office or any station. Foreign or in
ternational orders may be had at the
main office or sub-stations for re,
mittances to other countries Only
one endorsement can be used upon a
money order to make it payable to
another person. To collect a money
| order, you must be identified by some
person known to the post office peo-
pie if unknown yourself If an order
is lost or destroyed by accident. a
new one will be issued on application
without an additional fee.

Some Doubt Whether Marshall

Indianapolis war. !.
Many persons believe that Governor
Marshall will not sign any kind of a
bill to legalize Sunday base ball. but
the general opinion is that he will. 1t
is pointed out by the former that in
his veto message of the base ball bill
the other day he did not touch on the
question of whether he thought such
a law would be constitutional but de-
cided to veto it on other grounds
They say now, that he is of the opin-

al and that the governor will SO state.
However, the new bill is going along
and will probably be enacted before
the session closes.
Plan New Party.
There is a movement on foot among
the officers of the State Federation OF
Labor to organize a party of their
own and get into politics. 1t is said
that a meeting will be held in this city
outlining plans for the organization
of such party. Disappointment over
the failure of the democrats of the
house to pass a number of bills which
labor asked for is the cause of the
move. The labor party will take part
in the indianapolis city campaign
first and then get ready for the next
state campaign.

indianapolis, Mar. I.
The democrats of the house have
decided to stand by the Behymer leg
islative apportionment bill. the demo
cratic measure, and will try hard to
have it passed. There is little /likeli-
hood, however, that any legislative ap-
portionment act will be passed at this
session, because the house is demo
cratic and the senate republican and
no bill could be framed that would
be satisfactory to both. The Behymer

American public as has this story by
Washington Irving OF the drunken vag-

The perennial popularity OF RIP Van

the sensibilities OF the people. There
is farce in its lines. and there is hum0r:

pathos fingers with wit. Only the ir-
resistible humor OF a Jefferson is
capable of makings plain the varied
moods OF this play There is heart in
every line OF the drama. and there Is
a big heart throbbing in Jefferson's
breast.
There will be no possibility OF criti-

production which Jefferson brings with
him It is scenically perfect and the
company that has been assembled in
support Of the star is said TO be ade-
quate to the last character.
