SENATE BLOCKS
MAIL RESOLUTION
Demos Almost Solid Against
Request Made by the House
for Improvement.
SPIRK VOTES WITH THEM

Lincoln, March 23.-(Special.)-
The present unbusiness-like and de-
plorable methods used by the postal
department of the United States,
which are rapidly disorganizing the
mail conditions of the country, are
perfectly satisfactory to the demo-
Gratis of the Nebraska senate, judg-
ing by the action of the senate to-
day when it tabled by strict party
vote of % to 10 resolution passed
by the house calling upon President
Wilson to do something to keep the
system from deteriorating.
The resolution passed by the house
met with little or no opposition. The
members in that end Of the legisla-
ture forgot all about politics and in
an effort to stop what appears to be
utter decentralization of the mail sys-
TEN of Nebraska sent to the presi-
dent resolution which would give
him an idea what his postmaster gen.
eral is doing.
But the senate could see nothing
but the political end. 1t would not
do for a democratic senate to crit
icize a democratic department of the
national government, even if it was
plain that this department was get
ting itself into a hole just about as
rapidly as is possible.
Senator Beal in opposition to the
resolution offered the excuse that the
president had enough trouble on his
hands without bothering him with
little things like this.
This brought out the retort from
Senator Bushee, republican floor
leader, that he admired the nerve Of
a man who roasts another for TAX
ing up time on a resolution after he
had killed half day in the senate
on one of his own no more import
ant" He referred to the fight that
Beal put up early in the week for
his government ownership of rail-
roads.
On the motion to table, Albert,
democrat, voted with the republicans,
while Spirk, republican, voted with
the democrats.

Gering Community Club
EMPLOYS Paid Secretary

Gering, Neb., March 23.-(Special.)
The Community club of Gerins
has employed N. R. Reasoner Of
Hastings as its secretary to devote
his entire time to the civic work. Ii
is believed that this city is the only
one OF its population in the state
which has a paid secretary on the job
devoting his full time to community
work, but it is also believed that the
conditions of progress fully warrant
the expenditure. A budget has been
prepared sufficient to finance the
needs for the coming wear.

mails could have been gotten through on time and mail communication would not have been broken.
 In the light of the experience of the past three years of the Seward-Iditarod mail service, we wish to suggest that the new contract shall provide for not less than the present weight limit in the earlier part of the season, when the trails are not yet set tled; that the limit be increased to at least 600 pounds between Susltna and ldtarod, commencing with December l and that the last mails consist only of hrstcIass matter. In connection with the above suggestions, observance by those responsible for making up the mail consignments of the rules established by the department for their guidance would help materially in allayng the dissatisfaction
 with the service as dispensed during the past winter. If possible the existing contract should be amended to incorporate the above suggestions covering the remaining period of its life.

been doubled up and prepared similarly to the others Around the forehead was a strip of buckskin, from which dangled a few strands of Hurson Bay beads of black, blue and white glass This according to Professor Meany, is an indication that this mode of burial was continued into the time when the whites had come.
 In examining the grave on Glacier island Professor Meany was careful to replace everything as he had found it, only taking g few beads and the board as souvenirs. No sooner had he left the grave than a native canoe shot around the bend and
 me alongside. Nils Anderson, Professor teany's guide, understood the native Aleu-
 m language enough to know that the two natives III the canoe were hungry The guide took out 2 loaf of bread and cut them two motherly sandwiches. After they had aken few bites their eyes began to look over the canoe in which Professor Meany and his guides were riding The natives saw the mouldy boards lying in the front end of the canoe, recognized it, seized thelr paddles and were off like an arrow. They apparently thought the canoe and its oc- rupants were bewitched
 The natives do not seem to mind any tampering with the graves of those buried before the Russians came and taught the natives religion, as the Russians created the impression that all who did not believe as they did were outcasts Those buried in the Russian faith are held sacred Seat lie Times

GHOST OF HANGED MAN
 KEEPS WOMAN WRITER
 FROM RETURNING NORTH

Dread of hanged mans ghost prevents Mrs. Mary E. Hart, Alaskas leading woman citizen, from ever returning to Nome, says q San Francisco newspaper, which tells her story as follows
 She is a big, capable, masterful sour dough, who has homesteaded, mined broke trail and mushed in the widest parts of Alaska for fifteen years Three times she has represented the North at worlds ex- positions, and is q notable cIubwoman and author.
 Until now l have always beer afraic to tell why can never go back to Nome she began 'People today csn't credit ex- periences such as l am about to relate.
 Tt grew out of my unwilling part in the first legal execution in the territory, the hanging of Fred Hardy, a youth convicted of murderng three prospectors at Dutch Flat
 q was then reporting for a Nome paper and had been assigned to cover the execu- ton and try for a confession from Hardy, although he steadily maintained his inno- cence
 Having won his confidence and sn hope for reprieve having gone l believed Hardy would admit his guilt to me at the last if he was the murderer He had but few hours to live when 1 spoke to him through the bars of his cell in the old Nome ice house.
 Mrs Hart, he said, do you believe in life after death? Do you think the dead can make themselves manifest to the Iiv- ing?'
 ~ do he continued, and shall return to telI you about death and about the be- yond-if I will be welcome
 "Yes,' I stammered, with creeping hor- ror; yes, you'll be welcome, Fred What else could 1 have sad to 9 boy about to die?
 T was in my office writing the story of the hanging, which l had witnessed It was quiet, and was alone And then Fred Hardy, whom had seen dashed into cter- nity, came back-,to haunt me for many hideous weeks
 T sat rigid in my chair unable to move or speak It was 2s though 1 were being choked to death-as if I were undergoing what that 21-yearold youth must have ex- pcrenced during his last momerts 1 an confident l would have died but for an in terruption.
 "A girl we knew as Sunshine knocked at the door, entered touched me on the shoulder, shrieked My God Hardy is herer and fell to the floor, alternately faint ing and hysterical
 "She spoke in Hardy's voice, describing death torments- Sunshine, who had wit messed the hanging, speaking in Hardy's low, peculiar voice It was frightful beyond words
 That almost lethal paralysis left my body at the instant Sunshine touched my .houlder but from that day until I left Nome was haunted day and night by that inexphcable presence
 T make no attempt to explain this ghastly experience. But I shall never re- turn to Nome-because I am afraid"
