DEATH BIGGEST IN HISTORY
Chicago office Expects to Break Rec

The Affectionate
Documents.

CHICAGO, Feb 14-Valentines may
be cherry, undeniable proof that love
is not dead, but in the opinion of a
majority of Chicago postal clerks and
mail carriers they are nothing but
sentimental nuisances. TIE reason is
obvious-the postal stations are
swamped with valentines of every va
riety from postal cards to complicat-
ed lace-paper fabrications in fancy
boxes that carry special delivery
stamps, and cost the sender 80 cents
to dispatch.
Postmaster Campbell visited the
mailing division Of the postoffice yes
terday and found the clerks hid be-
hind piles of love missives.
When he returned to his office he
said that the department had prepar-
ed fc:. the greatest rush in its his
tory and was finding this to be more
than justified.
The comic valentine, especially thai
of questionable taste, is conspicuous
| by it's absence this year, and the
work of the censor, SO far, has beer
light.
The valentine rush comes at the
close of record-breaking month

The first judicial district comprises

Court is held in keokuk and in Fort
