A WARNING
TOUSERS Of
PARCEL POST
-
ALL Parcels Must We Parcel
Post Stan
Also All Must Have Al IS Of
the Sender
Fargo Making Good Use Of
the New Pest

The parcels post is being taken ad-
vantage of quite generally and many
packages are being sent out as well
as a great many being received at the
Fargo postoffice. ~.
The officials call attention to two
things which the public is apparently
overlooking in the way of the regu-
lations.
First, it is necessary to have the
sender's name and address, following
the word from" on each package.
Second, only the. special parcels post
stamps can be used on any fourth class
matter now, no matter what the
weight may be; even on the packages
of four ounces and under parcels post
stamps must be used. At least twen-0
ty-five packages had to be held up in
the Fargo Office this morning because
the old style stamps were placed on
them. A great many of these wrongly
stamped packages are discovered at
the windows, but when they are drop
ped into the boxes at night, this error
cannot be called to the attention of the
sender, and when this is done and
there is no address on the same, the
addressee has to be notified of the de-
fficiency. and many times this causes
q hardship as well as delay.
So many of the larger packages were
received this morning that Superin-
tendent Corrigan was compelled to call
one or two substitutes to help in the
delivery of them That is one good
thing in the present regulations, the
postmaster is made responsible to get
the delivery made and is not restricted
in regard to obtaining the necessary
help to have the law fully complied
with.
The postoffice has quite supply OF
the regulations and will cheerfully fur
nish copies TO all who may need them
as long as the supply of pamphlets
lasts Those who wish copies of the
Fargo zone map and the guide, which
contains the unit numbers of every
pestofiice in the United states, can
obtain the same by sending a postotfice
money order for rs cents to the chief
clerk of the postal department, Wash
ington, ID. G.. Many of the business
men of this city have already obtained
these documents and are now making
use of them in their business.
Showing the way the people of Far
go are taking hold of the parcels post
1t is only necessary to mention the fact
that the first shipment of 2 cent par
cells post stamps is already nearly eX'
hausted, but there are still plenty of
the stamps of other denominations,
and another supply Of the twos has al
ready been ordered.
1t now looks as if it would be neces-
sary to secure the additional room in
the way of railroad terminal sta
tion here in order to handle some of
the business which is accommodating
here and it is probable that a store
room will probably soon be rented by
the department, which already has
several leases under consideration.

a son of Horatio and Rhoda (Fol-
som) Templeton, both of whom were
natives Of Vermont. The father was
engaged in farming and the general
merchandise business and died in
Vermont in 1895, aged rs years.
Mr. Templeton was reared and
educated in his native state and at
tended Barre academy at Barre, VT,
and entered Dartmouth college in
1874 and was graduated from that
institution in 1878. He at once be-
gan the study of law at Montpelier,
VT, and was admitted to practice in
December, 1880. During the same year
he went to Fargo and formed a part
nership with Hon. B., F. Spaulding,
which existed until July 1887, he hav-
ing been appointed by Governor
Church, attorney general for the ter
ritory, and he served until October,
1888, and then resigned to accept
the ,judgeship of the old Eighth Judi
cial district, being appointed by Cleve-
land in October, 1883. He was re-
elected in 1889 and 1893 and continued
on. the bench until 1897. Jan. 1, 1897
he resumed his practice at Grand
Forks, having moved to that city in
1899.
He was again elected judge to sue
ceed Judge Fisk when the latter went
to the supreme bench.
Mr.. Templeton was member of the
mont in 1881 to Miss Edna G. Carle-
ton, a native of Vermont. Four chill
dren have been born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Templeton named as follows: Bertha
c., Maude r., Francis H. and Ruth G.

bers of the thirteenth legislative as
sembly and most of the candidates for
speaker of the house. The hotels are
