Washing ton.S Jam sT.-The annual
legislative. executive and judicial bill.
the second of the fourteen big supply
measures on the appropriation program

passed late yesterday by the senate
after provisions had been written into
it placing all postmasters on the civil
service list forbiddins employees of the

The stipulation that postmasterships

EXPRESS MESSENGER ON NJ. &

PECULIAR EXPERIENCE.
LAPSE OF MEMORY DUE
TO BLOW ON HEAD
Could Not Recall That He Had Been
Employed on Railroad and Other In.
cidents Of Recent Years-Now Grad
uaIly Reganins Memory and Expects
to Soon Resume Duties.

Fort Dodge, jan pa distance of
eight years covered in two weeks is the
remarkable experience Of Louis p. Ro-
denborn, messenger for the Adams Ex-
press Company and the NJ. e. st. l..
railroad who was found unconscious
in the express train at Spencer several
weeks ago.
Mr.. Rodenborn met with an accident
on the train between Spencer 'and
Ruthven He was found unconscious
by a brakeman in the express train.
Little was known as to the cause of
the injury but it was later explained
by piece of heavy hose that was
found in the car. This hose was sus-
pended from the roof of the car and 1t
was thought that lurch in the tram
threw it against his head.
He was taken to the hospital at Els :
therville His skull was slightly frac-
tured but when he recovered con-
seriousness he suffered from lapse or
memory. He was entirely rational but
eight years had dropped out OF his
memory. He could remember none OF
the incidents of the last eight years
but everything previous TO that time
was clear to him. Friends in Esther
Vile he had made in the last few years
were as strangers to him. He had no
recollection of working on the train but
he knew his family.
Some explanation of this peculiar
situation was found in the fact that
eight years ago when 10 years of age
ne had been sandbagged III Reno. New.
Some cog in his memory that connect
ed events was at least temporarily
MI. Rodenborn was brought 10 his
home in Fort Dodge a week ago. HIS
case WAS a great puzzle TO physicians
But gra dually piece by piece his mem
DRY has returned and now the lapse has
been completely bridgea. AS an eN-
per.ence. while an interesting one. it
was too battling 10 be enioya BILE and
there was TOO much agony OF mind
with It both for his relatives
and friends and for himself.
Mr. Rodenhorn has recovered his
health and ii is thought that he will be
able to resume his duties next Monday.

CITIZENS OPPOSE PAVING.
Taxpayers at Hampton Object to Pay
ina for Paving of intersections.

Special TO Times Republican.
Hampton. Jan. 27.--There were over
500 present at the mass meeting held
at the court house Thursday evening
Resolutions were adopted and dele
CATION OF twenty selected to represent
the people at the meeting of the city
council Interesting talks We're given
with reference TO why the paving
should not be laid at this time by sew
eral speakers. The taxpayers resolved
that before they would pay for the in
tersections they would carry their case
thru court The intersections have
been paid for by the city during the
terms of the last three councils and
the people claim that this has thereby
been established as a precedent, and
that they are entitled to the same
treatment in this regard as those who
have had to pave during the past. 1t
is expected that the paving will be
greatly reduced on account of the ac-
tivity of the opposition.
