WHO'LL BE THE NEXT
SELLER OF STAMPS?
Said to Be Settled that George
Rogers Will Not Succeed Whar-
ton as Postmaster.
MAYOR JIM DECLINES THE JOB

The most luscious plum still re-
naming on the plum tree in this
vicinity is ripening rapidly and will
be full grown and ready to pluck in
February.
1t is the postmastership of Omaha.
John G. Wharton's term expires in
February. The plum gatherers are
already congregated in considerable
numbers under the tree regarding
the fruit with watering mouths and
getting their step ladders ready.
Colonel Charlie Tanning called upon
Senator Gilbert NJ Hitchcock this week
and whispered honeyed words in the SEN
atar.a. Tho. .Gist. n,lyport and obisct
on these words was that Coiofef tiiiiiils
would esteem it a great favor II Senator
Hitchcock would pluck the plum and drop
Il into the hat OF Colonel George Rogers
Nothing Doing for George.
Senator Hitchcock is reported to have
turned ana to have responded with dignity
and wormwood in these historic words;
'I don't know who will be appointed,
but 1 do know it won't be Rogers"
Exit Colonel Tanning, r. ID.
The scene changes to the high-ceiled
office OF Patriot James Charles Dahlman
Honeyed words are being dropped into
his ears by more or less important re-
tainers. It is suggested that he would
make an extraordinarily good postmaster
Mayor Jim" is reported to have risen
from his chair and TO the occasion and
assuming Patric Henry attitude. to
have declaimed in words TO this effect;
"I would not accept the position OF
postmaster IL it was offered to me-"
Might Phase Jim.
Naturally his friends stood In awe and
admiration at the spectacle of Mayor
Jim" calmly declining a $e.O0O-a-year
steady Job The fact that the job hasn't
been offered to the mayor and is not at
all likely to be offered to him detracted
somewhat from the sublimity of the
scene. Still. It was striking.
1t is suggested by some of the faithful
that It would be fine thing for the job
TO be offered to Mayor Jim publicly
and officially in order that he might de-
cline It.
This. however. has it's Disadvantages in
the eyes OF those who may shake the
plum tree because the mayor might ac-
cept.
From an authoritative source. also.
comes the disturbing word that Senator
Hitchcock may not have the appointment
in his power Which would make Colonel
Fanning's experience sad illustration OF
loves labor lost.
Senator Hitchcock will leave for Wash
ington in time to be present when the roll
is called in the senate next Monday
Plead for flaming.
Late yesterday afternoon a committee
of twenty business men Waited on Senator
Hitchcock to speak in behalf of Colonel
Tanning himself for the job. Tanning has
heretofore turned deaf ear to all who
even suggested that he should be CON
sidered a candidate. Frank Ransom was
the chief spokesman of the committee
and he set forth in glowing terms the
fitness of Colonel flaming for the post
tion and the debt the democratic party
owes to him for his years Of labor I'm its

As is usual upon the advent Of
September, preparations for the oys-

the lower river and dredgers and
tongers are already at work. While
some oysters are consumed during the
month of September, the trade does
not become active until later IN the
year, or until the water shall have
become chilled.
In by-gone years virtually all the
oysters which reached this port were
brought in sailing vessels. The bulk

boats in barrels. Motorboats, contrl-
vances unknown a few years ago, are
now used in the transportation OF
oysters, and numhe Of Alexandria
