temperature was slightly lower.
The recession of the waters in some
of the streets was noticeable during
the forenoon.
The situation at critical points was
ameliorated to a considerable extent
today, notably in the neighborhood of
the st. Lazare station. The engineers
now hope to be able within a few days
to shore up the underground workings
and so prevent the collapse of streets
and buildings which has appeared i'm
minent for several days.
Beginning this morning, the au-
thoritieS concentrated their efforts on
the restoration of the crippled public
services, the repair of telegraph cable
and telephone lines and the re-estab-
lishment of the demoralized railroad

of restoring the electric light and

A MURDER VICTIM
Doctors Say Chas. Bjorkland
Was Brutally Slain.
Skull Crushed and Body Badly
Bruised.
HE HAD BEEN KICKED.
Trouble Occurred at a Swedish
Hall.
The Man Had Been Drinking
HE HAD BEEN KICKED.
The Man Had Been Drinking
Heavily.

Charles Bjorkland. who died at 10:30
o'clock Sunday night Of injuries, was
the victim of vicious assault. This is
the conclusion OF Drs. AmiS, Kieth and
Johnson who performed an autopsy
this morning. Injuries which the phys
icians say could. hardly have been made
by falling down the stairway at the
Swedish society hall at 21S West First
street, were revealed officers con-
nected with the sheriff's. Office are now
trying to run down a story of trouble
which Bjorkland had in a drinking re-
sort on West Fourth street Sunday.
About o'clock Sunday afternoon
Bjorkland climbed the steps leading to
the Swedish hall on his hands and
knees. He was refused admission. He
started back down the stairs and fell.
Ii was thought for time that his in
jurieS were received at that time. A
search of the stairway, however, re-
vealed no trace. of blood and it is now
believed that Bjorkland had received
the injuries which resulted in his death
before he went to the hall of the Swed-
ish organization.
Skull Was Crushed.
The autopsy revealed that the entire
upper portion of the left side of the
skull was crushed. The skin was not
OlOhcu Dul oOiNCS VI lllC IlCdQ WOIC
mashed. 1t is believed by the physi-
clans that the wound was made with
club, or similar instrument, and they
say that if he had fallen and struck his
head on a sharp corner, or the edge
of a step the force of the fall would
have broken the skin. On the other
hand it is argued that blow with a
club might have caused the injury
without breaking the skin.
On the lower part of the abdomen
were found many bruises indicating,
according to the physicians, that he
had been kicked. Marks. such as might
be made by heavy shoes were discov-
cred at the autopsy. There We're other
injuries regarded by the physicians as
equally good evidence that Bjorkland
was the victim of murder rather than
accident.
Had Been Drinking
$ Bjorkland began drinking Saturday
night after party, according to stor-
les told today. He did not go home
until O'Clock Sunday morning He
sept until o'clock and then left honse.
He was not seen again by his family
until John Nelson took him home at
$50 o'clock last night. He walked to
his home with Nelson's aid and at once
sank into a stupor which lasted until
9 O'Clock. At that time he was seized
with convulsions and physicians call
eo. He died at 10 o'clock without hav-
ing regained consciousness. While in
his delirium he called every few min
utes: "Get out of here. I know what
you want He scolded Nelson when
| the latter helped prepare for bed.
When physicians arrived they found
| that Bjorkland was bleeding at the
nose. Blood was also dripping from his
| left ear Every effort was made to
save his life but the injury was such
! as to be necessarily fatal. He died
about an hour after they arrived.

TINsEL CARDS ARE BARRED.
Such Cards Sent Through Mails Must
Be in Envelopes.

Postal officials have been forced to
remove a large number of postal cards
that are decorated with tinsel. mica,
sand or other rough material from
the mails. and warn persons that 1t Is
useless to send such cards unless they
are inclosed in envelopes. The rules
of the postal department says that
cards upon which mica, sand. etc, are
TO be found must not be handled un-
less put in envelopes. All cards of
that class not enclosed in envelopes
are sent to the dead letter office and
destroyed.
Some of the postals with tinsel on
them are expensive and the postofiice
people say that persons are foolish to
send them without envelopes because
they will never reach their destination.
Many Thanksgiving cards have been
sent TO the dead letter office, and now
that the Christmas holidays are APP
preaching many more such fancy
cars will suffer the same fate.

OBSERVE Rules;
AID P.O. CLERKS
CLERK IN POSTAL SERVICE
MAKES VALUABLE SUCCESS
TONS ABOUT CHRISTMAS
MAIL.

one OF Uncle Sans capable clerks
in the postal service has prepared an
outline of suggestions to the public
In regard to mailing letters, pack
ages, ETC., during the coming holiday
season. Every year postoffice clerks
are greatly handicapped because pa
irons of the mails write illegible or
improper addresses and the following
suggestions prepared by the clerk If
carried out will insure prompt deliv-
cry and better service to the public:
In writing the addresses five street
and number, box number, or rural
route, city and state. Many pieces of
mail are not delivered for want of
street address, and every day letters
find their way to the dead letter Of
flee because the city or state has been
omitted Write with ink; addresses
written with a pencil become so blur
red that they cannot be made out al
times, and are always difficult to read
by artificial light.
Affix stamps firmly to upper riGlt
hand corner. Placing II anywhere else
may cause delay to the article. The
name of the sender should appear or
the upper left hand corner then the
mail will be returned If for any rea-
son il cannot be delivered.
Wrap every article securely, so 4
will withstand rough handling, for the
sacks are crammed with parcels of al
descriptions, and are thrown from thu
wagon to the car and often from tn
car while the train is in motion.
| Cards bearing tinsel, etc, are un
mailable. except in tightly sealed en-
/ velopes. Despite the fact that thi
ruling is several years in force ant
that daily papers have printed notice
to that effect, these cards are still
mailed either in open envelopes, o
without any and must be sent to tn
dead letter office.
! If these rules are strictly adhere
to the postoffice can handle the ma
with much more speed and accuracy
and the public will get the benefit.

A man talking to a representative
Of CAS-KA the other day asked him
how it was that in the advertisements
Of CAS-KA they always read GAS

CAS-KA cures? The reason is that
a person has to be relieved before he
can be cured And If there is cure

them. II relieves rheumatism by pur-
