Owen today re- ceived instructions from the fourth assistant postmaster general to re- move the two street letter boxes on the corner of Front and North streets and send them in to Little Rock. The let ter stated these instructions were sent In accordance with recommendations from inspectors that they be with drawn from service, no reason for the action being assigned Postmaster Owen stated that he had made appli- cation for additional clerical aid at the postoffice, and he presumed the de- partment had withdrawn the boxes from service in orde rthat the work might be carried on without an addi- tion to the force He said, however. that he thought it would be only a short time until free city delivery would be installed here, and letter boxes placed at convenient corners throughout the city.

CITY BUYS WATER PLANT
TERMINATES FIGHT IN COIN GIL OF SEVERAL YEARS
 DURATION.

Fort Smith, June 24.-A fight dat. ing back seven years ago came to an end yesterday when the city took over the Municipal Water Company's plant.
 The formal transfer took place st 10 o'clock this morning. The plant was purchased at price exceeding a half-million dollars for which the city issued bonds. When former Alderman W. J. Johnston introduced a resolution in council seven years ago to buy the plant the resolution received only his vote. Johnston continued the fight and it was through his efforts that the city acquired the plant.
 The water company's 20 year fran chise expired in 1905. It contained z provision giving the city the right tt buy the plant at the expiration of the franchise.

FAMILY IS SICK,
 CAN'T GET AID

J. A. Patton of Wooster telephoned the Log Cabin Democrat today that his wife and four children are i'll with typhoid fever, and he desires through this paper to get some one to aid him in nursing the sick ones. He said he would pay anyone literally to come and assist him at once. Mr. Patton stated that the neighbors were afraid to lend him assistance on account of a report that the illness of the family was of a highly contagious nature, but the disease, he states, is nothing more dangerous than typhoid.

Postmaster General Will Establish Postal Banks in

sending their surplus savings to their
home countries
In New Yorl, City alone last year the
money orders sent abroad amounted to
about 100000. and a considerable part
of this sum represented the savings of
foreign-born residents. The foreign-born
population Of Greater New York amounts
to over 1,50o,00o, and II Is from these
foreign-born Americans that the demand
for postal savings has been most per-
sistent Similar conditions exist in Chi
cago, st. Louis, and Boston. In Chi
cago the foreign-born population amounts
to 100000, in St Louis 10000, and in Bos-
ton 100000. The value OF tho money Or
ders sent abroad from these cities last
year was as follows:
From Chicago. s5.50o,ooo from st. Louis,

New York City is to have a postal
savings bank. Postmaster General Hitch
cock issued an order yesterday directing
the main post-office in New York to re-
ceive deposits after August l. Postal
banks will be opened on the same date
in Chicago, st. Louis, and Boston. These
are the first cities of this class to be
designated. The Postmaster General is
SO we'll satisfied with the success Of the
1000 or more banks already installed in
second-class offices that he has decided
to extend the system rapidly among the
larger cities. New York and three other
cities have been selected, not only because
of their prominence as regards popula-
ton, but also because in each there Is
a subtreasury of the United States, which
will greatly facilitate the heavy banking
transactions that are likely to result from
the postal savings business.
While the patronage OF the postal saw
ings business will naturally come from all
classes of citizenship. 1t is expected that
the system will prove TO be particularly
popular with the vast number Of foreign
born Americans in New York and SINH
