It was then necessary to close the
general delivery window at noon and
at other times Of the day. while the
mail was being distributed. The
doors to the postoEice were locked
nights, and after ten o'clock on Sun
days. Now the general delivery and
parcel post windows are both open
all day. and the lobby doors are new.
er locked.
That Mankato has grown, especially
as business center, is shown by the
postal receipts. which have increased
from about $4,000 to over $4,000.
Then there are about four times as
many two cent stamps sold as one

Spoke Highly Of Clerks.
When Mr.. Veigel was seen by q
representative of The Free Press this
morning. he was busy making out his
final reports. He said he had always
liked the work in the postoffice and
that after spending most of his time
there for seventeen years, he did not
know whether he could 60 by the
building without stopping or not. He
spoke very highly OF the clerks and
! carriers I'm the Office and said he did
not believe there was another post
office anywhere. which had an equal
number Of cheerful, willing, accom-
modating and conscientious employ
eea. II has been n pleasure to work
4, with them.
! Mr.. yeigel said he was very CRATE
. full to the patrons of the postoffice
and especially to the business and
professional men in the city, not only
for the loyal support they gave him
when n candidate for the office. but
also for the kind and considerate
treatment the postoffice has received
from them. which has been shown In
so many ways.
When asked what he intended tC
do after leaving the postoffice. he
said he did not know yet. but hopeo

Charles E.Wise Takes Up Duties
As Postmaster
from Mondays Daily.

Charles L. Wise. the new post
master of Mankato, took charge of
the post Office today. Adolph J. Vel
gel. the retiring postmaster, made
the transfers of the Office and govern
ment properties to the new incum-
bent. The growth of the business in
the federal institution here since Mr..
Veigels connection with IL has been
stupendous.
When l.. p. Hunt took charge of the
pOstoffice on June |, 1898, Mr.. Veigel
became connected with the office as
assistant postmaster. He succeeded
Charles Z. Wise as assistant at that
time. That was over seventeen years
ago, and Mr.. Wise today found many
changes I'm the Office since that time.
At that time there were four post
office clerks. and the highest salary
paid to any of them was $500 per an
mum. Now there are fourteen clerks
besides four clerks in charge Of post
nj stations, and nine of them receive
salaries of $1,000, one s1,400, etc.
There were then six city carriers,
the highest receiving $3.50 per year.
Now there are thirteen regular city
carriers. and eight rural carriers. six
teen of whom receive $1,000 per an
mum. and four Of them receive an ad-
ditional $500 for horse hire.
Jacob F. Herold and Harry j. Wildes
are the only two clerks remaining who
worked under Mr.. Wise. John G.
Hoerr, John Rud. William II. Girvin.
William G. Bradley and William p.
Schwanenberg are the only carriers in
the service now who we're here then.
Robert b. Girvin also received his ap-
pointment before that time.
There are now forty-seven men
employed at the postoffice. and only
the eight given above will have work
cd with Mr.. Wise before.
Changes In Postal Service.
Many changes have taken place in
the postal service during that period.
There was then no rural delivery. no
postal savings department. no parcel
most, no insured or c. D. ID. mail, etc.
Many changes and improvements
have been made in the conducting of

In the circumstances Of the people and
how conditions had lhedn greatly i'm

eminent.
"The Spaniards did not allow their
servants to enter their homes except
In native garb." he said. "Since the
American occupation they have taken
to wearing coats and shoes. The ma
tives make good servants and are
faithful. but not overly clean. No
white person in the troops thinks OF
doing anything for himself after the
first year there. IL takes him that
long to learn how to act He would
mt think Of carrying his suit case
to the door. or even up stairs. You
have heard of the Call of the East.
Kipling has written of IT, Well that
cali soon gets to be oh. boy. do this
or do that and the boy is any sery-
ant.-no matter how old"
Captain Hughes told of the amuse-
, ments of the natives. how they love
to play baseball. and to hear and play
musical instruments, and OF many OF
their interesting ways and customs,
and described many places In the
country in a vivid and entertaining
manner. giving a number of amusing
"reminiscences. After hearing the cap
