TO BE AT FAIR

Manager w. N. Owen of the Faux
ner County Fair Association this
morning received letter from the
stock company, composed of the farm
ers of Guy, Mt. Vernon, Damascus
and Bee Branch, asking for the re-
tainment of stalls for their horses,
and stated that they would also bring
their $4,000 Jet Black English Coach
Horse. The horse weighs 100 pounds
and is three years old. Several of the
local horsemen have been trying for
some time to induce the stock COM
pany to bring this horse to the fair,
but until now have not been able to
make arrangements. However, the
letter received this morning positively
states that this fine horse will be
amcng those owned by the company,
and that the group will be sent from
here to the state fair at Hot Springs,
which opens the week following our
fair.

Fashington, Dec 17.-A parcels

 subjects that the present Con-

 mpfons of this movement feel con-
 ent that some definite steps will
 taken toward the establishment of

 The fact that both President Taft.

 General Hitchcock in his annual port, have recommended the rural reels post, has greatly strengthen
 their hopes, and they believe that II once a system is established for tne rural districts, it will only be short time before it is made general James l.. Cowles, founder and sec retary of the Postal Progress League says that a vigorous campaign will be made this year in Washington to bring about the enactment of some parcels post legislation. ' Should we fail," he continued,'' we sfaH urge the president to call a soe- cial session of the 62nd Congress to take up thk matter.
 Every effort is being made by the members Nof our league throughout she countrt to bring about the elec- ton of seniors pledged to a parcels 7ost system. We feel confident tha. majority the House members are h favor such legislation. and now is our timA to make sure of the 5euata

Postroads.
 Representative Weeks of MassacLd- setts, the chairman of this body, has expressed himself very forcibly IS opposed to any. legislation of this kind, and he appartntly has the SUD- port of the majority of the commit tee. With the end of the present ses- sion, however, ten of these lose their stats i'm the House, and there will le new committee with new chair 1..an, when the 62nd Congress opens
 The arguments for and against a parcels post are many, and have been reiterated time and again, and 1t is safe to say that they will be present ed il alnpliflad form at this session.
 Representative Sulzer's bill ,is as follows:
 Be it enacted, etc., That the con- mon weight limit of the domestic pos tai service of the United States is hereby increased to II pounds, the
  I1nion1 and that in the general busi- less of the postoffice the one cent an ounce rate om general merchandia, fourth class mail matter be, and is hereby reduced to the third-class rate, 1 cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof
 Sec. 2. That the rate on local lot ters or sealed parcels posted for de- livery within the free delivery ser vices is hereby determined atl2 cents on parcels up to four ounces, one cent on each additional two ounces; at nondelivery offices, one cent for each two ounces.
 Sec. 8. That all mail matter co. :. lected and delivered within the differ cnt rural routes of the United States is hereby determined to be in one class, with rates, door to door, be- tween the different houses and places of business, and the postoffice or postoffices on each route. as follows On parcels up to one twenty fourth of cubic foot. Or by by 12 inches in dimensions and up to one pound in weight, 1 cent; on larger parcels up to one half cubic foot, or by 12 inches in dimensions and up to- Il pounds in weight, 5 cents; on larger parcels up to cubic foot, by 12 by "A inches i'm dimensions and up to 25 pounds in weight 10 cents.

That on all unregistered prepaid mail matter without declared value an indemnity up to $10 shall be paid by the Postoffice Department Tor such actuat loss or damage as may occur through the fault of the postal service, and this without ex- tra charge Certificates of posting shall be provided on demand. On registered parcels of declal ed value, and on which the fee for reg sstratfon, insurance, and postage has teen duly prepaid, the Posto6fice De- partment shall pay the full value of amy direct loss or damage that may occur through the fault of the postal serwice.

 Of course, this is not in accordance with the recommendation of the pr ss- ident, as he suggests only parcels post for rural sections. while MT.

 They argue that if the bill is made
 q law as it stands, Uncle Sam will get
 all the long hauls, where losses are
 incurred, while the express compa-
 nies will get the advantage of the
 sh ort hauls as, they will be able to
 Quote cheaper rates. In support ot Sheir statement they make the fol- lowing example:
 Suppose "a merchant in New York City desires to ship ten pound par eel to Buffalo. The rate by parcels lost would bye 79 cents, while the ex-
 press company carry it for 50 cents Of course, the express company wolld get the business. But suppose he
 wishes to ship it to Seattle Wash. The
 express company's rate would be, $215, while Uncle Sam would carry
 it for the same price, 79 cents and
 of course, would get the business. As
 the greatest percentage of hauls are

 press companies, of course, would get
 all the profit.
 Other supporters of the movement say that this difficulty can be over come by the government taking steps to prevent the express companier /, from hauling packages under the II
 pound Limit. At the last session of Congress, Representative Murdock
 oi Kansas, introduced a resolution calling upon the postmaster general I for information whether the govern nlent had taken, steps to protect it's monopoly in carrying the mail agains. the incursions of the express compa- nies.
 The resolution declared that under existing laws, the government has a
 monopoly for carrying all letter and
 packages. The law specifically de lclares for ''letters and packets According to MT. Murdock pack ,ts" cover most of the packages hand led by the express companies. all though the postoffice officials con strue it to mean packets of letters in accordance with an opinion given by Attorney General MacVeagh in 1881.
 MT. Murdock declared that the Macveagh opinion was not founded lon law or fact. Nothing definite came of the reso- lltion, but the matter will be taken up in the near future, and every ef- fcrt will be made to have congress lcok into 1t.
 Frederick c. Beach, editor of the Scientific American, and President of the Postal Progress League. seems greatly pleased with the progress that is being made.
 Parcels post legislation is bound to come and come soon," he said in an interview with representative of the International News Service "All the leading nations in the
 world have 1t, and 1t has proven not only great time and money saver to the merchants, but .s also great
 source of revenue to the government. "In Germany the government Will
 carry packages up to no pounds for

 under our present laws, the govern

Pa Rourke Will
Pay Reward for
Ball Players
Offers Cash for Information that
Will Lead to Contract with
Good Men.

Here's chance for you: IL you know
where to get n ball player who can de-
liver the goods, sehd his address to Pa
Rourke. and you will receive a cash re-
ward
This offer is made in all seriousness
Rourke is willing to pay well for any
Information that win lead him to con-
tract with a real ball player. lie has used
all other means OF getting in line with
some one to strengthen his team and
break it's awful streak of luck. Letters
and kilograms by the dozens have peer
sent in all directions. but nothing tha'
offers encouragement has been received
in return Ball players who are able
bodied and fit to play ball can not be
found. It seems.
Louisville announced that It had re-
leased two players to Omaha, and the dope
book said they were both good. lnspec'
ton proved that Sullivan was 80 crippled
up as TO be unable to play; he even de-
cined on his own motion to report, while
Moriarty, who did report, is not in con-
dition to play. The big clubs have plenty
OF cripples to sell, but Pa has enough OF
these on his own staff.
Tim Flood Joined the team yesterday, and
will soon be in the game. Persons was
released, having failed to deliver.
Pa Rourke is not discouraged, although
he has reason to feel disheartened. 1t is
the first time In his career as a manager
that he has faced such fierce run OF
adversely. His efforts have always been
to give his patrons the very best of ball,
and his record at Vinton Park more than
supports this. Omaha has always been up
and fighting for the prize before this sea-
son. When he started this year, II was
with bright prospects, but trouble has
camped on the trail of the Omaha team
from the very outset and has remained
there ever since. Not once in weeks has
a single ray OF good fortune shone on the
team. In Sundays games, Lincoln came
mighty near making a record for double
plays, pulling off five, feat Of highest order
and all against Omaha. Even under the
adversely OF steady losing, the team is put
ting up o good game in the field, fighting
always to hold down the other fellow, but
failure to hit when hits are needed most
accounts for the loss Of game after game.
II Welch or Kane could only get his eye
on the ball again, different story would
be told.
Pa is figuring on doing about ten days
scouting on his own hook in the hope of
picking up a player or two. He will start
some day this week for a swing around
some OF the ball towns, and hopes that he
may be able to land somebody who VIII
be serviceable. In the meantime his offer
to pay for info: nation that will lead to a
ball player holds good.

off sure triple.
Young has worked in something like

TIM FLOOD IN GOOD CONDITION
veteran SecOnd-SRcker should BE Big
Help to the ROurke Family.

Tim Flood, the veteran second baseman
whom President Rourke has signed from
Nashville, Is in good form and has been
playing grand ball.
In the last ten games down south he took
fifty-ftve out OF total of fifty-siX chances
at second base having but one error and
in the country has or can beat that record.
These figures are culled from the box
scores as they have appeared in the Sport
ing News.
If Flood can keep up that lick, Omaha
is all right at second, the hardest corner
Of the infield, and Flood says he knows
Of no reason why he cannot.
I feel finei never better" says Timothy,
land am at peace with the world. l cut
out my fighting some time ago and am
down to business"
Flood is a high-priced man; has always
been, and he cost Pa good sum and VIII
draw good salary. Omaha would not
have got him but for the rigorous applca-
ton of the player-limit rule in the South
ern league, which, allows no team to hold
more than fourteen men. Manager Bern
hard, the old CleyelRpd pitcher, had more
than the limit and Was UP against 1t. He
wanted to keep Flood, but between Pas
tempting offer and certain other. circum-
stances within the team, decided TO let
Tim go, which happened to be much to
Tins liking.
If any man thinks the Omaha players
are discouraged, he should visit them at
the Smoke House,
II guess we are the first team that ever
lost ten in a row." chuckled Johnny Gond-
ing, the Old Reliable. well, once heard
of a team that lost eleven straight. Don't
worry, we are not We are not going to
finish as low down as we are now, either"
With all the tough luck that has befallen
Omaha this year, it is no worse than has
come to other Western league teams in
time Lincoln last year practically gave
up long before the season was over. 1t lost
SO many games and here 1t is this year
fighting with the leaders Des Moines was
as bad off in 1908 and yet the next year
1t won the pennant
Pa Rourke has started on his scouting
tour and expects to bring back the bacon.
He is in touch with all the big league
sec ats, but they are having their troubles,
too.
