telegram from Washington announces
that r. c. Logan has been confirmed
by the senate for postmaster at this
place. His name was sent in by Presi-

bitter fight waged against Mr.. Logan
by leading Democratic workers of this

permanent the wide breach in the par
ty. He is a distant relative Of Con-
gresham John Connolly and the lat
ter stuck to him Loyalty throughout
the entire fight. The report published
in a Topeka paper Tuesday that D. B.
Dyer, present postmaster, had resign
ed Is untrue. He will hold on until
Mr. Logan's commission arrives.

Literary Notes.

w hen the midsummer heat Is too intense for physical eNertion, or when one is going on long journey, reading is the pastime which naturally appeals to one for whiling away the time pleas antlv and proiitably. In most cases, it is fiction that is desired-interestin fiction, not too deep or highbrowish' but with lots of action and a plentiful sea5oning of sentiment, Lippineotl's for July offers an especially attractive table of contents of this kind. The complete nove. is "Northborough Cross," by l.. Cope Cotnford, distin. guished British author. This is "bu- ried treasure" story of new type. The scenes are laid in staid English village-that is, it was staid before the incidents narrated in the story began to happen. ExtraordinaryEchsracter 1 drawing and remarkable local color characterize the story, and the plot is com mmendably new.
 Owen Oliver contributes vivid short.story entitled The Wisdom of Folly" Thomas Grant Springer's of fering is "Babes in the Woodsu-the "woodsn in this instance being the great city of New York, and the "babes9 youth and girl who arc alone and stranded there. That Blooming Azalea, ' byApnes Edwards, has d subtly humorous touch and may help to solve veNing probemtt tthat is bothering more than one woman. "A Communal Execution,n by Francis James Mac Beath, is slragic without be- ] ing grewsome or terrible. "Bnm O Reilly, Philanthropist, by Lucy 1 Gopinger, is funny yarn about a tough school. boy and his teacher, who displays distinctly feminine trait.
 John Reed has written for the July Metropolitan big, smashing story oI the strike war in Colorado. This sto " was written on ithe ground and de 1 scribes conditions that one can scarcely believe to exist in this supposedly civ ilized ,country. with Villa on tho March" is the title of John Reed'i fourth Mexican article. In this he de scrbes the life of the men in the Con slitutionaist Army. "What the So cialist Movement Is,n by AIgernor Lee, tells Of the beginning and tn growth of tlhe Socialist Party and i the introduction to series of article written by prominent Socialists in al parts of the world The number con tuins fiction stories by EaU Derr Big gers, Joseph Conrad, Justus Miles For man, Peter B. Kyne and others. Ther are the usual departments and pictori al features, including six pages of rota rygravure.
