POSTAL DEFICIT DECREASING.

A Good Year I'm the pose-Oalcs De-
partment--The General
Recommends Parcels Post on Ru-
raj Routes.
Washington. Dec lin the
space OF twelve months q reduction
has been made In the deficit Of the
Post-onice Department OF s11.soo.-
900. according to the annual report
OF General Frank II.
Hitchcock. made public to-day.
In view OF the vanishing postal
deficit IL is believed that IL the mag
azines could be required TO pay what
it costs the Government 20 carry
their advertising pages. the Depart
ment's revenues would soon grow
large enough to warrant ope-cent
postage or first-class maii," said Mr..
Hitchcock
Newspapers are not included In
the plan for a higher rate on adver-
tising matter because, being chiefly
OF local distribution, they do not en-
ploy the mails TO any such extent as
IhC hAdb11AAG5-
While the loss resulting from the
low postage rate on second-class mail
Is the greatest in the postal service.
the loss on rural delivery service is
very considerable. The appropria-
tions annually granted to maintain
the rural delivery system, however,
as pointed out in the report, are ex-
pended In the interest OF a vast pop
ulation. Mr.. Hitchcock urges the
wisdom of further extension OF this
system, even at considerable loss to
the Government. He points out,
also, the business wisdom OF the
consolidation during the last year of
the star route and rural delivery sys-
tenn, the consolidation having been
the means of affecting a large saving
and of increasing the efficiency Of the
service.
Mr.. Hitchcock reviews the work
already accomplished looking to the
establishment OF postal savings
banks.
A trial of the new system will be
made, beginning January l, 1911, at
one post-office in each State and Ter
ritory of the Union. The amount ap-
propriated by Congress for this trial
was 100000. All of the offices Sc
lected for the trial are Of the second
class, wage-earners being particular
ly benefited. 1t is expected that the
new postal Savings system will be
extended to many other Offices before
the end of the current fiscal year.
A renewal of the previous recon-
mendation for a limited parcel post
service on rural routes is made. MIR.
Hitchcock expresses the hope that
Congress will authorize the delivery
on rural routes of parcels weighing
as high as eleven pounds. This
scheme can be put into operation
with little, if any, expense to the
Government.
A recommendation is made that
Congressional authority be given the
Department for the issuance Of postal
notes in amounts not exceeding $40,
at a lower fee than is charged for
money-orders.
Mr.. Hitchcock believes that many
abuses of the franking system could
be prevented, with marked economy,
by supplying special official envelopes
and stamps for the free mail Of the
Government. In the present circum-
stances, it is impossible to determine
the cost to the Government of the
franking privilege, but if it were
hedged about by such plan as Mr..
Hitchcock suggests, it would be pos
sible to determine definitely the cost
of carrying free mail for all execu-
tive departments and for the Con-
gress.

Lincoln County.

Another letter from Lincoln Coun-
ty, explaining the Democratic victory
there says:
Practically every man in this
county, so far as ! know, who is liv-
ing on a fixed income, voted against
us on account Of high prices, claim
ing that their income Is now no
greater than it was several years
ago, when the prices Of products
which the farmers and wealth-pro-
ducers raise and sell were much low
er than they are now. In this con-
nection, it is noticeable that this
class of our people voted almost SOL
idly against US, while the farmers
and wealth-producers, who are get
ting the direct benefit of high prices,
and who for the same reason should
have voted solidly for the Republican
party, very largely voted according
TO their previous party prejudices
and labels or stayed at home.
I'm addition to this, it is proper to
call attention to the fact that the
Democratic party had and used more
money in this campaign than ever
known before in this county, and
many of us are curious to know
where they got the money. l Won
der if they got it from the trusts.
because they did not pass an anti
trust law with teeth and because
they have not indicted or attempted
to prosecute a single criminal trust
Another very large element that
entered into the situation was the
whiskey used by our prohibition
Democratic friends on the day of
election and before. While We were
disappointed at the result of the cleo
ton, yet I think these facts explain
fully the result, and l think besides
that these are facts which show that
there will be a great reaction at the
next election "

Tyrren County.


Another letter from Tyrrell Coun-
ty says:
In Scuppernong Township the re-
turns were not sealed as required by
law, and that the Democratic regis
trar who was appointed to take the
returns to the coutny-seat, brought
them to the county-seat not only un-
sealed, but exhibited them publicly
to a number of people before filing
them in a sealed condition as re-
quired by law.
There were also irregularities in
at least two other townships. In Gum
Neck Township, one of the poll-keep-
ers, Mr.. J. w. Harrington, was a
candidate for justice of the peace at
this election. Does this not violate
the law, and does it not vitiate the
election in this township? In Kill
kaney township, / am reliably in
formed, the polls were closed before
sunset, when the law requires that
the polls shall stay open until sun
set. Will not this vitiate the cleo
ton in that township?
Halifax County.
An earnest Republican in this
county writes US as follows:
While l am disappointed at the
result Of the vote in the State and in
Inls county, yet am not disaproint-
eo at the result in this county.
am satisfied that men voted the Dem
'eratic ticket in this county who had
lever seen the registrar before they
.o'eo on the day of election. Under
Ine present law, it seems that this
seai most Of the devilment was done
through the registrars. But the
"orst trouble we had this year, as I

A Pleasant Party,

Mr.. and Mrs. E. d. Hamilton enter
tained the whist club Wednesday eve
ming in honor of DIR. and Mrs. Grant
Babcock at very unique party.
The guests arrived early, so that the
bride and groom were the last to ap-
pear. AS they descended the stairs to
the strains of a wedding march, they
were proceeded by flower girl and
ring bearer. At the foot of the stairs
the bride and groom were met by one
of the gentlemen dressed as a clergy
man, who led them forward to an arch
IN which hung q huge wedding bell.
there they were made to take vows
that were satisfactory to the club, after
which they were pronounced man and
wife. After each one had extended
their best wishes they were presented
with cut glass dish. Later in the
evening delightful lunch was served
at one long table, each of the guests
having prepared suitable toast some
very original ones being given. The
house was decorated throughout with
cupids and hearts. The gentlemen
wore white ties and chrysanthemums.
The ladies were dressed in white.

Ssdswick Team Triumphant.

In game of basket ball between the
high school boys of Sedgwick and the
high school boys OF Julesburg., played
Sedgwick team was triumphant and
won by a score of 2l to l6. 1t was a
good game from the spectators point
OF view, and both teams put up we'll
fought battle. There was slight ten
dency toward rough playing at the be-
ginning of the game, but both teams
quieted down in the second half, and
the best of feeling prevailed on both
sides during the remainder of the game.
The Julesburg boys were in the game
every minute of play, but the Sedgwick
team showed better form and were
steadier in their work. Captain Bene-
dict, of the Sedgwick aggregation,
went into the game with a crippled
thumb, but nevertheless he played his
usual good game. The work of both
umpire and referee was satisfactory to
all. The score was as follows:

Dr.. ard Mrs. N. l. Babeoek
ntertain.

Perhaps the most brilliant social
event of the season was a reception
given Friday evening by Dr. and Mrs
Myron l.. BabcOck for DIR. and Mrs.
Grant Babcock. For the entertainment
the Babcock residence was beautifully
decorated in ferns, roses and car
nations. Entering the library the
guests were greeted with pretty
sight. On the table was an enormous
bowl of pink carnations and ferns,
while the decorations in the parlor were
all in green. From seven O'Clock un-
til eight Mrs. William Labaree
and Mrs. C. W. Rook had charge of
the guests. and those in the receiving
line were DIR. and Mrs. M. l.. Babcock,
DIR. and Mrs. Grant Babcock and DIR.
and Mrs. ID. NJ. Cook. Over one hum
dred and fifty invitations had been sent
out and few regrets were sent. As a
result the spacious rooms were filed
the entire evening with gay party.
The decorations in the dining room
where refreshments were served, were
of the same color as those in the par
lor but more extensive. In the middle
of the room the dining table was
stationed. In the center stood a cut
glass vase containing boquet of pink
La France roses. Artistic loops of
pink satin ribbon added color, and hand.
some silver and pretty china were usec
in serving the guests. The Misse.
Homedew, Yates, Clayton and Labaree
served the guests during the evening
They were attired in pretty, ligh
dresses.
Mrs. E. F. Clayton and Mrs. Joe
Labaree looked after the guests tn.
second hour. Mrs. Clayton wore F.:
beautiful tan messaline and Mrs. Lab
aree was becomingly attired in ligh
blue.
From nine till ten was the youns
peoples hour-the Misses Homedev
and Yates assisted with the guests durinl
this hour. 1t is not surprising that the
young people forgot when 10 o'clocl
came, for DR.. and Mrs. Babcock provet
a charming host and hostess through
out the evening.
Mrs. M. l.. BabcOck wore becomin.
mulberry rough silk and Mrs. Gran
Babcock was attired in a handsom,
rose silk with lace trimmings.

A Novel Affair.

Perhaps one of the most novel affairs
ever seen in Julesburg was 1.-The Mid
way" given at the opera house Friday
and Saturday nights. The affair was
given under the auspices Of the Ladies
1. Hid 81 fsthe gUh1 dtonal Church, ind
much praise is due them for their un-
tiring efforts to make it success.
And it was success-both financially
and in an entertaining way. Individual
mention of all those having parts in it
is almost impossible, but some are
especially worthy of mention.
The Japanese booth, where lemonade,
punch and Japanese novelties were sold
was very artistic. This booth was in
charge Of Mrs. Chas. Petersen and Mrs.
N. T. Harmon, and they looked very
pretty in their Japanese costumes.
The Dutch booth in charge of Mrs.
Cox also attracted much attention.
The minstrels were a scream and the
songs they sang were rendered in true
coon fashion. We are sure that some
of these people will miss their calling
unless they join the Georgia Min
strels.
Mrs. Kelsey as palmist was perhaps
the busiest person ION the grounds"
and no doubt could have read palms for
another week. Miss Winterbotham was
right there with a "good fortune for
the many who wished to know what the
future held for them.
The Rogues Gallery, where the photo
graphs of all famous citizens of Jules
burg were on display, with few lines
beneath the picture telling of the
reason of it being there, proved quite a
drawing rd-especially to the men,
The wild west, the snake charmer,

busy taking in the cash
The ladies with the ice cream and
cake started into business with too
small capital. They "cleaned up"
before the show was half over.

noon, little Ruth Kinds, the minister's |
baby took the prize.
The band boys, we mean the little /
fellows, furnished music and made |
themselves useful in the work
The midway was "A grand success and .

Commencing to Crow Young.

While the Sedgwick Sun is only four
weeks old, it has commenced to crow,
and tell about the wonderful things it
can do with type, ink and paper, mar
shaled in column by a left handed
printer-the only one at large. The
Sun is rather neat and tasty in its ap-
pearance; but when it commences to
think that it outshines us all it is time
to take the youngster across your knee
and give it what Paddy gave the drum.
Not being content in claiming that it
can out-print any other shop in this
region, The Sun throws down the
gauntlet to Sears & Roebuck another
name for the emporium of wisdom and
fine printing, located on Second street.
For the information of The Sun we
will say that Mr.. Sears has drifted out
with the tide, but old Roebuck is still
stubbing around with his enlarged ego.

TOMBSTONE, Arr, May 9.-There
is a decidedly better feeling in Tomb
stone To-Day than there was Tor sew
eral days last week after the fail
ure OF the boilers in the pumping
pant OF the Tombstone COnsonualeu
Mining company. which resulted IN
the drowning OF all the pumps Tor
the second time. The better feeling
TO-DAY Is caused by the publication Of
a telegram from F. NJ. Murphy star
ing that those in charge OF the en-
terprIse need not be discouraged, as
the success Of cOnquering the water
would come with the next trial.
The old pumps which were drown
ed last fail had almost been reached
as the result Of the new plant in
stalled when on Tuesday last the
boilers went TO the bad, rendering il
impossible 20 operate the new pump
ing plant This resulted in the wafer
again filing the shaft and submerg-
ing the new pumps.
The amount Of water which has
been handled in the main shaft Of
the Tombstone company is almost
beyond conception in amout and cost
but the announcement of Mr. Murphy
shows that il viii be continued until
, the water is conquered and the large
ore bodies brought to the surface.
