POLITICAL LITERATURE,
VIII Help Increase Salaries of Eural
Mail Carriers.

The political campaign just clos
ing, will cost Uncle Sam good many
thousand dollars. The new plan of
computing the salaries of rural car
riers is on the basis of pieces of mail
handled, as well as miles Travelled.
The enormous quantities of letters,
circulars, Autographs, cards, ETC., in
cident to the present campaign will
greatly swell the number of pieces
handled. The count on which the
salaries are to be based closes to-
morrow, having lasted during this en-
tire month.
Heretofore two months have been
used as basis, but this time but
thirty-one days were assigned for the
counting and weighing of the mail,
and right in the midst of the cam
paign.

JACK JOHNsON'S CAR HERE.
Negro Champions Famous Racing
Car, Seized for Debt, Was In
City Sunday.

Jack Johnson's big racing car was
in the city and attracted lots of at
tention. 1t is the longest car ever
seen here, having 100 inch wheel
base. The famous car is now owned
by the Old Sanitar;um of Prairie du
Chen, which uses it to advertise it's
rheumatism cure, particularly the
mud baths which that institution has
recently installed.
The car is out on thousand-mile
tour. 1t was built by the Thomas
Flyer Company. The solid alumni
mum body was cast in one piece in
England, no manufacturer in this
country being able to make it at the
time. Its mechanism has a six-cyl-
inder engine, each of the cylinders
being SIC by inches which have
g capacity of los horse power and
will send the machine over the
ground at a speed of 90 miles an
hour. All the parts Of this wonder
full speed demon were especially
made for Jack Johnson and cost
$4,000.
However, the reckless career run
by Johnson in connection with his
famous restaurant in Chicago
brought about the loss of his rights
in this country as well as his Won
derful machine, which was attached
for debt by the Heilman Brewing
Company of La Crosse.

STOPPING THE ROAD HOGS.
Careful, Prudent Drivers Make Au.
tOmObiling Real Pleasure.

The wife of an automobile owner
said few days ago, that she lid
not enjoy driving behind her lLs-
band as we'll as she used to when
machines were less numerous. He
is careful, prudent man, who runs
at moderate speed.
IF you turn out and give the 9TH
er machine a good wide berth the
lady went on, the other fellow US
ually keeps right along in the mid
die Of the road
This is so irritating that many
men will not turn until the last pos
sible moment. Then a slight mis-
calculation, and all hands are in the
ditch.
Automobiles have this year reach
ed the point where if handled with
some judgment, they are as inexpen-
sive as horse and carriage. The is
olation of the farm is broken, a
source OF plesure, health, and profit,
wider horizon, is opened up.
But for careful people, much of
his pleasure is offset by the hogs of
the road. In many cases, the trou-
lie is liquor. To many persons, the
swift panorama of nature, the thrill
of the flying car, are nothing, unless
they can stop and swap a set of
highballs.
Well travelled roads are infested
with a tribe of daredevils, who ought
not to steer any more dangerous We
hicle than a plough. They think of
a county highway as a race track,
where they can show off their specta-
cular driving before the eyes of ad-
miring rustics.
If man escapes accident by a
narrow shave, he considers it a clos
ed incident, and rarely makes COM
plant. Motorists should join for
their own self protection, to give
| information against chronic speed
ers.
VIII it not be necessary, as mo-
tors keep increasing, to have special
road police, who shall obtain infor-
nation about speeders, and file COM
plants? They could initiate pro-
ceedings without mourning ill-will,
where the Ordinary citizen dislikes
to make a formal charge.

Odessa's old time form returned
Saturday, and they defeated Y. M. A
of New Castle II to 2.
Bill Ward retired the side in the 9th
inning with three pitched balls. The
first ball pitched was put to the short
stop, the second to the pitcher and the
third to the first baseman. He allowed
the New Castle boys but hits, and
famed IA batsmen.
Gibbs was right there with the goods
behind the bat, holding Wardie's shoots
in fine style. Out of five trips to the
plate he secured three safe ones.
Bob Heller got on five times and
scored four runs. How is that for go
ing around the bags? Bob connected
with two of Taylor's benders for
singles.
He,dmyer did great work at short
stop, accepting every chance without
an error. At the bat he connected for
two singles.
Dick Cam showed the boys how to
wait out pitcher He received three
passes out of five trips to the pan.
Jones was right on the job at second
base and played in his usual good style.

Visited Newark

A delegation of citizens, including the
Board of Town Commissioners made "a
trip to Newark Monday, to inspect the
sewerage plant recently installed in that
town by L. B. Jacobs. There was
hitch in the program, due to the failure
of some one to notify Mr.. Jacobs of the
visit. The plant was looked over, but
not much information was to be obtained
on account of the absence of Mr.. Jacob
in Philadelphia.
A movement is on foot to apply to the
next session of the State Legislature
for permission to bond this town for a
sum sufficient to install a sewage system
and put an improved pavement on
Broad street and East Main street. The
system of sink wells and acesspools has
contaminated great many wells of
drinking water throughout the town and
a sewerage system seems to be the only
relief.
