A considerable amount of mail was
delayed in transit last week on &C
count of bad weather over a wide Sec
ton of the northwest; the new train
service is also causing delays. Last
week "Dannevirke'' did not come to
the Askov post office before Saturday
noon; and "Ugebladet" did not get
there until yesterday noon-this de-
lay however has likely been with the
publishers as there has been no ma
teria1 delay between here and Mime
apolis.
