FOR N0PALITA
RURAL DELIVERY
POSTOFFICE INSPECTOR HERE TO
LOOK OVER PROPOSED ROUTE
on WHICH LAST REPORT MADE
WAS UNFANORABLE.
1T Is BELIEVED CONDITIONS NOW
ARE MUCH MORE FAVORABLE
AND SERVICE MAY BE ESTAB-
LISIIED SOON.

\ \. 0. Chapman, [. 5. postoflice inspec-
having been detailed to come here to in
spcct the proposed free rural dcliverw
route through the Nopalita section.
Mr. Chapman was taken out over the
proposed route today by Postmaster
L. Il. Rcntfro. accompanied by Mrs.
j. T. Hughes. of the Nopalita district.
A list of the families to be served has
,lso been furnished him. showing a much
larger number of families than those ac
counted for i'm the last report OH this
matter.
During the recent visit Of Mrs. Wheel
pr Of The Herald in Washington City
she took up the matter Of the Nopalita
routc with the pStmastcr general. Upon
investigation. it was found that the last
report made on the matter was during
last December This report was very
adverse to the proposed service. Ii sta
ted that there were not over twenty-five
families on the proposed route outside
of West Brownsville. which the report
stated was not truly rural. but would be
merely Il continuation Of the free city de
livery. The roads along tire proposed
route were condemned by this report aS
being unfit. the crown-wOrk being de
clared bad. and general conditions re-
ported rs unfavorable. Among other
things il was stated that the greater
part Of the population to he served would
be McXicans of the poorer class. chiefly
day laborers. who il was stated, work
for not over 30 cents u day. and hence
would not patronizc the service to any
great extent.
Mrs Wheeler Informed the department
that considerable work had been done on
the Nopaita road. and that she was as
Surcd that the situation was much bet
ter than represented in this rcpOrc. The
department Immediately telcgraphd for
an inspector to be sent, and Mr.. Chap
mans visit il the result,
Mrs. Hughes has taken great interest
in the matter. and prepared the last peti
ton which was presented 10 the depart
ment, asking for the establishment of the
NOpalita route She stated today that
she would take the inspector over the
entire route. and see that he was fur
niShcd with AL information which would
be favorable to the project.
Mr.. Blakcslee. the fourth assistant to
the postmaster general. informed Mrs.
Wjeeler. that, if the proposed route
could bc extended to not less than twenty
four miles. and the number of families to
he served increased to one hundred. the
department. would allow $l.1O0 for this
service. It is thought probable that the
route could be extended, so as to comply
with the requirement to obtain the
mount named Postmaster General Bur
Lesson stated that the free rural delivery
service il being extended as rapidly aS
possible. and that if the Nopalita dis
irict fulfills the requirements. the pro
posed route would be established without
delay.

TION AWARDING CONTRACT FOR

ING SCANENGER WORK
AUDITORS REPORT SHOWS DEF
CIT IN STOBART'S ADMINISTRA-
TION-S SANITARY COMMITTEE. TO
HAVE SLAUGHTER PENS FINED.

The council sidesteppcd the police list
yesterday and ricochettcd off the city
bids with many IA rumble. grumble and
bump. Every time it was touched some
body was right there with the oil to see
that the matter retained its Statu quo
and the whole affair was deferred until Il
more convenient time.
Only two bids were considered. The
bidders were Mason Transfer Company
and \. j. Lieck The friends of each
were anxious to attend the obscquies of
the other, but each was afraid that the
wrong corpse might be put i'll the box.
So the soft pedal was put Oh and the
dirge will be continued in our next.
Alderman A. \. Browne, who was alb
sent from the city and consequently not
in attendance OIL the meeting. was looked
upon as the Lconidas by one side III the
bid matter. and as the Achilles by the
other side in the matter of police ap
pOintmcntS. The one was afraid the
bridge might be lost, and the other re
fused to bcsicge Troy, until reinforce
mentS came up
Outside of the little tilt with no blood
split. ami draw decision i'll the bid mat
ter, little was done by the council eX
ccpt to accept the report OF the auditors
on the books of the water and light de
partment during the incumbcncy of Sup
crintendcnt Stobart.
The report shows a deficit of over
s.. 400 in the accounts of the department,
and steps probably will be taken to col
lect the amount from the bonding com
pany in which Mr.. StObart was insured.
The mayor read the summary of the
report, and ii was referred to the city
attorney for immediate action.
The council was convened at 30: pres
ent: Mayor Cole. and Aldermen Cain.
Kirk. Dworman. Thorn, J. \. Browne
and :. BenayidCs.
Under the question of the appointment
of the police force ..I6crman Dw0rman
raised the question as to the legal stand
ing of the men serving on the force now,
calling attention TO the fact that the ap-
pointment of these men had not been con
tirmcd by the council. Alderman Craig
suggested that the council get busy and
confirm them MavOr Cole said that he
was ready to remedy the defect by having
the Ivlicemcn on the roll confirmed right
now. but that he did not think now was
the time.
During the informal discussion Of the
police list. Alderman J. 4. Browne want
ed to be enlightened about the carrying
of guns by SupernumerarlcS. stating that
he had seen one eX-policcman with gun
on him. right after he had been dis
missed from the service The mayor cX
planned this by stating that this man was
appointed for few hours TO keep the
street clear for the working of the force
making repairs OH the day of the break
of the big main on Elizabeth street.

New York, Aug. 2.-Dr. John F.
Halloran, veterinary surgeon at
StapIeton, S. L, awoke at 3 o'clock in
the morning from a dream Of peace.
His wife was shaking him by the
arm.
"John!" she whispered. There's a
burglar in the house,"
You've been dreaming" yawned
the doctor. GO to sleep"
The doctor heard a mUffled fumb-
ling and, urged by his wife, went
downstairs to investigate. Every
thing seemed safe.
Outside waited Nellie, a big chest
nut mare, belonging to Thomas Nor
gan, contractor. Halleran found she
had bad attack of collie. He treated
the horse and put it under shelter.
Nellie, feeling sick in the middle Of
the night, had broken the halter,
walked out of the stable and gone to
the doctor.
