New Mail Order.

Under the new order, the Oriental
limited, eastbound, will hereafter take
on mail at Fergus Falls for western
points. Since the special mail train
was placed in service on the Brecken-
ridge division, the Oriental limited has
been carrying no mail, but hereafter it
will have a mail car for distributing
mail from Fergus Falls eastward.
Mail for such points win be made up
in st. Paul, pouched and locked, and
the three mail clerks will board the
car here and begin the work of dis
tribution, taking on Fergus Falls mail
at the same time. The regular mail
from the east will come in on locals
heretofore.

pieces, without milled edges, and in
high relief, they assert, are subject to
abrasion to the extent of losing much

Under the coinage law" said an
expert In a local bank, ''no change can
be made in coinage until twenty five
years have passed since any certain
issue, unless authorized by special act
Of congress. The $40 gold coin was
changed In 1907 and the SIS and $3.50
gold coin In 1908. Therefore the same
style will have to go for twenty five
from these dates unless congress auth
orizes a change, which think it will
do because of complaints that are sure
to come, when the gold coins will have
to be taken for less than face value.
Because Of their shape we think that
the condition will, arise very soon
THE scent nickel can be changed
without any act of congress, and the
silver quarter and half dollar in 1917
as they were altered in 1892. An effort
is to be made by eastern bankers to
have all the coins changed to a shape
and model to resist wear. A heavy
protecting edge with very fiat relief is
said to be best for that purpose

of the United Wireless Co. that tns

Yesterday the news was given the

Many of them think that they have AZ
much right to use the air for pleasure
as the United company has for COM
mercial reasons, but the Z. NJ. G. A.
directors saw the force Of the COM
pany's arguments.
Phil Bevis, secretary Of the Y. M. 6,

fall number Of the boys became IN
terested In wireless telegraphy and
wished to form a club so that 1t might
be studied. The club was formed ana
the boys had an instrument set UP. 1t
was used very little. but during the re-
cent hobby exhibition at the depart-
ment, they demonstrated it to those
who were interested. We did not know
that it was interfering with the CONF

There are several stations about Du-

the United Wireless Co, f. G. Moe, Ia

they interfere greatly with the mes
sages. None of the outfits in use by
Duluth boys have been constructed by
themselves. They are made usually OF
cheap materials and have power to
carry about half mile. Nevertheless
they are capable of making trouble for
the local station Of the United wireless
Co.
It seems that lately messages have
been greatly delayed on account Of the
amateur stations.
AS all messages are handled in code
there is no objection on the part Of the
officials of the United wireless Co. TO
the boys using their receiving appar-
atus, the principal objection being to
the boys sending, their sending often
interfering with the station while i'm
portant messages are being received.
There are several amateur outfits in
the city and Mr.. Moe is making an eff
fort to get the boys to give them up.
There is at the present time bill he

Prayer M..tina In tn. Commons.

For many years a prayer meeting
has been held in the house Of CON-
mons once a week during every parlia-
mentary session. No one knows who
originated the idea, but the records Of
the proceedings, which are faithfully
noted each week, show that in the
year 1888 the well known Quaker Mr..
4. Fowell Buxton and the evangel-
icals Sir George Grey and Mr.. Zach
AIRY Macauley were in constant at
tendance. The prayer meeting is held
in a room granted for the purpose by
the sergeant-at-arms and is restricted
to twenty minutes. The proceedings
are very simple. At each weekly meet
ing a president for the following week
is chosen On the day Of assembling
Tuesday, at o'clock-the president
for the day opens the meeting, reads
a portion of the Scriptures and either
offers an extempore prayer or calls on
