UNCLE SANS QUICK DELIVERY

The following story comes from
Yonkers. New York:
Uncle Sam set a new record in
rapid postal service when he
delivered at Yonkers the other
day, a letter sent from Geneva, N.
Y. on April %, 1888.
onkers is just 335 miles from
Geneva. 1t took the letter seventy
two years to travel the distance.
Both the sender of the letter aud
the man to whom it was addressed
r dead, the latter forty years
ago. Mrs. Walter Paddock, of the
old Paddock family Of Yonkers,
received it. She is a grand niece
of d. Paddock, to whom the let
ter vas addressed. He was in the
lumber business. Mrs Paddock had
never seen him.
The postman called at her home
with a postofice department
envelope. Within was the tine
yellowed sheet of paper. 1t was
NOT an envelope, for it was written
when envelopes were unknown. 1t
was folded square and the ends
turned in, and a postage stamp was
pasted across to keep them there.
The stamp was cancelled ard the
misivc bore the date, Geneva, n.
Y. April %. 1888. Ben cath this
stamp was another one. which read
Syracuse, N. Y. Dec. 81, 1910.
No explanation of the delay APP
peared upon it. There was no
mark IRON the dead letter off e.
1t probably had been mailed by the
sender, who signed himself
Whitney, and had been mislaid in
the postoffice at Geneva to be found
again just now.

of lumber which Mr.. Paddock was
to make from Yonkers, and con

VICTORY FOR THE
R. R. COMMISSION

Friday morning in the Fedora.
Court before Judges Morrow, Van.
Fleet and harrington, a decision
was handed down that spell:
another victory for the Nevada
Railroad Commission says the Car,
son Appeal.
Some m onths ago the Nevada
Railroad Commission ordered q
general reduction on all lumber
hauled from Verdi to TonoIah and
GOldfeld railroads. The railroads
resisted the order of the commits.
sion and applied for a temporary
injunction against the commission.
The injunction as granted with the
railroads furnishing a bond of
$l5, 900 each. Since that time the
old rates have been paid on ali
lumber hauled 60 the southern
camps by the consumers.
Their railroads, through their at
tVrneys, asked that the injunction
be made permanent and thus
restrain the Nevada commission
from enforcing the reduction. BY
a decision of the Judges in bank,
the temporary injunction was dis
solvel and the permanent in.
junction denied. IL was further
ordered that the railroad companies
refund on all shipments
made since November 20 Of last
year. This is practically n full
victory On all contentious claimed
by the railroad commission.
The case is wherein the Tonopah
Lumber company appealed to the
railroad commission for a reduction
on freight rates on lumber from
Verdi TO Tonopah. The commits
sion cited the railroads before them
and after hearing both sides Of the
question made a ruling reducing
the freight on dressed lumber from
$40 perthousand feet to So, and on
mining timbers from $l3 to 50.

RENO AND ITS INDUSTRIES

Detective Ryan of Cincindati
who spent some time in Reno trying
to get Albert Lewis, wanted in
Ohio for desertion of his family,
gives his opinion of Reno, it's
people and its principal industry
in the following interview in the
Cinncinati Times. Star:
Trimming suckers first, and all
the time-chewing tobacco and
swapping lies between times" was
the answer of County Deceive
George Ryan, when asked what is
the principal industry of Reno, Ne
vada.
Ryan returned home Sunday
night after n month spent in
that western city, seeking to bring
Albert Lewis to Cinncinati 10 answer
a charge of nonsupport.
Lewis was in Reno seeking a
divorce from his wife, Marie, who
now lives in Hamilton, Ohio.
Backed by the entire population of
Reno, Lewis was able to delay his
extraditon for thirty days, and the
case is now set for hearing on
habeas corpus in the supreme court
of Nevada a month hence.
81 believe | know every inhab-
bitant of Reno, including dogs"
RYAN declared. THAT inst much
of an accomplishment when it is
remembereds that Reno, ] as only
5000 population. The city is de-
pendent for it existences al solutely
upon the wants and wishes of the
divorce seeking residents. There
is not a foctory in the place, OK

1.-THE laws of Nevada -equiro
that the divorce applicart shall
live six months in the COZ nty to
gain a legal reside nee Tor the
purpose Of filing a divorce suit.
Then the suit is filed. Other legal
proceedings require 6 weeks to two
months to bring the case to hear

cant being his or her own witness.

Judge or at least that's Il , way
it sounded. Then he adds: Decree
of divorce as prayed fer is
granted Trunks, already packed

divorcee takes the first train back
to civilization.
Some idea of the extent to
which the divorce business pre-
dominates in the courts may be
judged from the statement If the
sheriff to me that during & q last
term Of court all eases heaI d were
for divorce but one. That was n
single suit for $40. Two courts
are kept going every day in the
year but Sundays and legal holidays.
1.-THE number of ten porary
residents waiting to complete their
six months stay in order to file
divorce suits is from 800 to 1900
and has been as high as 1900.
They arrive just as fast as they
leave. 1t is those 900 to 1900 who
support the city's real population
And getting a divorce in Reno is
nc piker's game. The lcas amount
for which an applicant ran live
there is Sc a day. That's more
than $1450 for The eight months,

fees, court costs or the incidental
expenses that a long wait with
nothing TO do piles up. Every
court paper costs $40. The lawyers
evidently do not work for nothing,

OF $4,000 VOLTAGE:
Current Honeycombs Steel Rod,
but First Aid" Proves
Salvation.

Deadwood, S. D., July 24-Although a
live electric wire carrying 26,00O
volts touched her, burning holes In
hands and feet, and also through tho
steel fishing rod she carried, Mrs. Mar
garet Case, OF Fairpoint, had remark
able escape from death. The young
woman, with her husband, were MEM
bers OF camping party near Spearfish
and went out fishing the woman car
tying long steel rod. AS they were
passing the plant of the Consolidated
Power and Light company on the Red
water, the womans pole came in con-
tact with the high frequency wire OF
the hydro-electric plant. Her husband
happened to look back and saw his
wife stretched on the ground.
While he was summoning physicians,
Superintendent Boyer, OF the plant, d.
gining the trouble, was quick to give
artificial respiration and after ali
hours hard work Mrs. Case was re-
vived. A doctor who rushed over from
DeadwooG in an auto. declared that
the shock had caused the heart to stop
beating. but that the quick artificial
treatment had restored action and
saved her life. The current left its
marks on both the hands and feet and
penetrated clear through the steel rod,
leaving holes like pinholes.

IDENTITY OF AUTHOR
OF NIGHT AMBUSCADE
INVOLVED IN DOUBTS
Four Shots at Women Precede
a Violent but Futile Ply
steal Attack.

Sioux Falls, S. d.. July 25.--The au-
thorities have as yet been unable TO
solve the mystery surrounding the
shooting and wounding at late hour
Saturday night Of Mrs. Sarah Bleifuss.
Of this city.
-Four shots were fired at the woman
and mother by an unknown man. The
injured woman now Is in a local hos
pital. 1t is the theory Of the police that
the assailant had robbery for his mo-
tive. Failing to kill either of the women
when he had fired the four shots at
them, he used his revolver as club
and inflicted several cuts and bruises
upon the head and face of Mrs. Blei-
fuss i'm addition to the bullet wound. a,
Accompanied by her mother, MIS-.
Juliette Flanagan, Mrs. Bleifuss was on
her way to her mothers home to spend
the night. The two women were at a
point in the northern portion or the
residence district, near the Sioux Falls
penitentiary, the hour being shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock, when q man suddenly
appeared and commenced firing ae
them, not ceasing until he had fired
four shots. After firing the four shots
the unknown assailant grappled with
the terrified women, who after des-
perate struggle succeeded In escaping
from him and he disappeared.
That Mrs. Bleifuss would have been
killed had not her mother been with
her is regarded as certain.

The newest method Of combating the
domestic nuisance, the house fly, is by
the combination OF a garbage pail and
a fly trap. The trap is gauze bull
which fits over q hole in the top of tn.
can, that is the lid. This opening In
the lid OF the can Is several inches IL
diameter and the gauze is made TO fl,
tightly over it. There are other smaller
openings at the side OF the can through
which the fly is allowed to enter. In
endeavoring to leave the interior OF thu
can the insect will invariably seek tf
do so through the larger opening at thu
top and in this effort it is led into tn.
trap. The device is the invention Of
DIR. c. +. Hodge, of the Clark univer.
sity.

Of agriculture, while working with eX-

grain is terminated the rust grows up
into the plant. In other words russ
is an interior and not an exterior
