salary this year.. took $3.50 from the
rental for the %postoff1ce received by
j. Buchanan & Sons and kept two
deputies in the Office working long
hours each day-all because the re-
ceipts at the Office fell that small
amount short of the sum necessary to
put the Darlington Office into the Sec
ond class.
Next July, however, the office will
return to the second class and Post
master Halaas will receive a salary Of
$4,000 annually. In addition. three
clerks will be employed instead Of two
and no one in the Office will be requir-
ed to work longer than eight hours
daily. The pay to the assistant post
master and two clerks will also be less
than at present. The general delivery
window will not open Sundays after
July /, but Mr.. Halaas announces that
lock box mail will be distributed. The
Sunday closing is brought about by
the government providing for the
eight hour day but making no allow
ance for Sunday work.
Under the new order Miss William
son is to be clerk and John Dick as
sistant postmaster. Another clerk Is
to be appointed o to receive 30c
an hour until after passing a civil ser
vice examination when the, salary will
be put at $500 annually.
j. Buchanan & Sons will receive
$3.50 more annual rent for the build
ing in the future.

No sooner was the news of the vast

No o was the news of the vast
inheritance of Marius Bonnaud
flashed through France, than women
from all parts of the country began
making him offers of marriage. The
modest and demure ones wrote. while
the impatient and imaginative hurried
to a telegraph office. Seven million
dollars. thirty-ive million francs. to an
unknown shepherd of Sernhav from
an English uncle he had never heard
of. was romance enough to hold
French attention for three days, dur.
ing which Marius became famous.
Then came the news it was all a
mistake: no such fortune had been
left. When Marius was informed he
could not believe it. particularly as the
offers of marriage still continued to
come in every mail, the late wooers
declaring their eagerness to wed the
good-looking young shepherd, money
or no money. Today he Is saving:
II shall wait: l am not yet ready to
choose a wife," Some Of the love sick
women offer substantial fortunes of
their own. and this may help in the
solution of the perplexity of Marius.
The shepherd has many friends who
believe in his inheritance. and he him.
self seems to be convinced that he will
yet receive the fortune. Nevertheless,
he takes his flock daily to the pastur-
age. and in the evening considers his
many offers of marriage.
The municipal authorities Of Paris

measure would prevent accidents SIM

Another ~preventable accident Of the
same kind was caused in Paris a short
time e by a chauffeur fainting on his
box. The proposed device which the
technical committee Of the prefecture
Of the Seine have before them for con-
sideration, is said to be easily applied
to any automobile at a cost Of about
ten dollars.

sisted on the amendment to make
1t. statute book" instead of official
state paper" which would permit suf-
1ering- land owners to unload a little
more of their landscape upon money
ed foreigners. Senator Osborn de-
manded an amendment to the first
section. whereby the bill would not
affect existing contracts for the sale
OF land to aliens. That covered Lord
Scully's options. Senator Murdoch
objected to that amendment on the
grounds that Lord Scully had con-
tracts for a lot more land in Butler
county where he already owned too
much.
Then Senator H. p. Kelley topped
up and asked If the bill would wipe
No? Then the bill was imperfect,
and should he so amended as to chase
the alien out of the state. And with
a restriction of one quarter section
to each land-hungry alien the bill
passed the Kansas Senate on January
30. 1889, by a vote Of 80 yeas and 8
further evidence of the case in the
old newspaper files. it might be gath
cred that the bill was either killed
upon its second visit to the Senate
or met with the disapproval of the
Governor, as the General Statutes
printed since that time do not. men,
ton Its passage. -
When the Mohler bill got to the
House it was at the tail end Of the
session. A certain Mr.. Jones moved
that consideration thereof be post
poned indefinitely. Mr.. Hoch,i of Mar
ion (name sounds. fafmiliar), opposed
the motion and wanted the bill pass
ed right away.
He called attention Ito, the fact that
~ n onnotndnoon <o <1A tpnneklk<34~ -
the effect hat ownership of land by
aliens may be regulated by legisla-
tive action had carried by over 20o.-
900, and he thought the bill should
be passed as amended. (By, that time
II had been amended to a point where
1t made it all but a lynchable offense
for an alien to own anything but his
shoe strings in Kansas.) And the
bill passed in that form and was sent
back to the Senate.
Things We're coming to a focus in
tn Senate. There was plenty Of
poison and e%loquence waiting for Lord
IScuily,F but there was also a large
number Of local bills and personal
pets to be cared for: It is evident

River. They wound VI with a grand

measures. but Lord Scully. who had
been viewed with alarm as a danger

his tack-rabbit garden.

and 100000. No insurance was car

1t could not be stopped. The last per-
son in the barn had been there short
ly after 8 o'clock. No one occupied
the building at the time.
