LINCOLN On. 4 Bnaoiai.) Nebraska
postmasters tn session here today organ
isid a state association by adopting a con
stitution snd electing Edward R. Siser of
Lincoln prerldent and W. J. Cook of Blair
secretary and treasurer. Four vice pres
loents. one from earn of the four classes of
postmastft-s, and standing committees are
to be appointed. After the organisation
the assor-latloa was addressed by Edward
Rosewater and Congressman Hinshsw of
the Fourth district and then went to Have
lock In a special train to Inspect the shops
as 'the gue-ts of tbe Eurlingtcn officials.
Tonight the aasociation adjourned after
enjoying a smoker given by the Commercial
cliih. One hundred and fifty-six postmas
ters were registered
The meeting was held In the federal
court rooms of the postofflce snd the post
masters er welcomed by Ms vor Adams
and Poftmaster Sixer, who was later chosen
president, and J. W. McDonald, president
of the Commercial club. Rernons-s were
made by J. R. Hays of Norfolk' and
Frxr.k McCartney of Nebraska CMy. Consid
erable pleasantry was Injected Into the
proceedings at tbe outset when Mr. Mc
Donald Invited all of the postmasters to
the CommerclnJ club smr-ker. Mr. Slrer
remarked that this mode of entertslnment
might not be scceptable to the postmis
tresses present. This brought Mr. MoCart
r.ey to his feet with the announce Trent that
he neither smoked nor drank and oonse
Quently was In the same boat with th
women. Chairman Siser Immediately ap
pointed him chairman of the committee to
look after the entertainment of the women
with power to select as many unmarried
postmasters as he thought would be needed
to ssow the women a good time.
The object of the association, as defined
by the constitution. Is to benefit postal
service by the exchange of ideas. 60m
little discussion was Indulged in over tbe
dues to be charged and whether C of the
proposed C&0 to be charged should be
paid for a subscription to tbe "Postmaster
E very m here." this to be the official paper.
After most of the postmasters hsd takes
a hand In the talk the tbe official paper
was shut out cf the enforced subscrip
tion. teasarea Postal terrier.
Mr. Rosewater addressed the associa
tion In the afternoon and his talk was of
the postal service of the United Ststes and
England. In beginning he stated that
while the postmssters hsd formed a union
he believed that none of Ha members would
advocate a strike, st least until afterhls
term of office had expired. He told of the
superiority of the English system, of the
relationship of the Dress to the mi.i.
tand of Ita progress, largely due to news-
1 paper men. or the changes during tbe last
iwmiy-nve years In the nnMil 1.
he said none had been more noticeable
man us alvorcement from politics. He told
that twenty-five years ago it was no un
common thing for rsilwav mn 1 1..
Nebraska during a campaign to put oa
""ull no were in every way In
competent while tiiey went out and worked
ior ine election of that senator or that
congressman for months t m
that postmssters and employes were con
sidered assets of the members, of congress.
In this day and age, however.' he said,
the clerks and employe r.r th ..-.i
vice were emancipated from politics.

tea are never asked to con
tribute to the controlling party.
Mr. Rosewater then spoks of the time he
was a member of the pootsl congress and
of his experience in the old country when
he Investigated the postal system twelve
years ag-o. In Berlin be said the authorities
said their only ectlon to their sy stem
was that they could not discharge aa em
ploye without he had done wrong or was
not competent This he considered was the
strongest point of their system. In Swan
sea, Wales, he said he learned that post
masters were appointed and promoted for
efficiency from one town to another mak
ing It possible for a person starting la as
postmaster of a small town to become the
postmaster of the best town In the coun
try. He found that the emplove was ab
so'utely free so far as politics' were coa
ceraed. and If any political leader tried to
coerce aa employe the matter would at
ones be taken up by Parliament
The postmaster at this place not only
held that position, but was the head of
the telegraph and aartnga bank and was
the Internal revenue collector. There were
fifty-six substations within a radius of
forty miles that reported to the central
office.
After stating that he believed the postal
service would be revolutionised by the tele
graph Mr. Rosewater c!osed his address
with this quotation from a letter writtea
to the Chicago Record-Herald by William
E. Curtis from London during th last few
weeks:
Make Paetal ftervlee Pay.
The British postal service 'psys a big
revenue because it Is so well conducted.
No people on earth use th mails so mack
as Englishmen. Last year their postofflces
bandied rS7l.SMi.wia pieces of mail, aa av
erage of B. I for every man, woman and
child la the kingdom: sW.Mt.sts) postal cards,
which Is 11 for each person ; KeVsno.M
packets, which is 111 per capita; mWiO
larger parceia, or 11 per capita, and 17a.
4ftu.su newspapera. or 4 2 fr capita, which
is a total of tltl.t.. or Mi pieces f
snail per capita of the population. This is
aa Increase of 11 over the previous year
The rat of Increase Is Urger to tbe rural
districts thaa la London for the reason
tkat the people in tbe interior are now
receiving a better service thaa before.
&HU about per cent of all the mail la
handled in the London postefflce. The tn
crease In th express delivery service has
beea li per ceat since last ) ear,"
Blaehasr Cite Adslea.
Congressman Hlnshaa's address was
short and full of humor, receiring a Just
share of applause. He stated fhat th
postmaster la each tows was the only
representative of the national government
aho came la dtrect contact with the people
and that his apputatmeat could cause ss
much trouble as tas eiectioa of a president
He ssid tbe postmaster could be a petoe
maker and could do the government a great
sci 1 lea by attending strictly to business
and being courteous to everyone. He did
not believe though that a man, because
hs had beeB mass a postmaster, had ts
lose his poetical rights, but advised him ts
get oat la the primaries and to the con
ventluos and assist la putting good mea ia
office. Ha thea told of tha Cleveland idea
of a partisaa officeholder. A republican la
Indiana was removed, b said, by President
Cleveland because he was charged with
1114 a lanieaa tad uauua; bis tBc ia Um
Interest cf politics. The sam rhsrg was
brought against a democrat In Pennsyl
vania, bat tbe mas wss art removed, be
cause Cleveland held that partisanship In
office was "opposing the party la power."
He thought It would not be showing too
much partisanship la hustling ap votes for
President Roosevelt He believed tn civil
service reform and wss mighty glad that
tbe postmasters In tbe Fourth district were
allowed to serve four years after their ap
pointment
In discussing the rural routes, which Mr.
Hlnshaw considered a most Important
branch of the postal service, be sdvlsed the
carriers not to be too sggressive. By this
he meant for tbem not to gobble up tbe
routes of other carriers or other towns
thst were not so enterprising. In showing
that the rural routes were the means of
disseminating education Mr. Hinshsw said
at Wahoo. where they have four routes,
snd are fighting for a fifth, they now dis-
tributs to tfc farmers 250 dally papers
where before tbe rural routes were estab
lished but three were taken.
At the conclusion of this the association
went to Havelock,

WEST POINT. Neb.. Oct r. (Special.)
At no time within the last twenty-five
years have tbe republicans of this county
been tn such good position politically as
they are this year. Tbe prospects for an
almost entire sweep of the ticket are good
and tf tbe present indications continue to
election day the result is assured. Tbe
democrsts ar divided Into two parties of
about equal numerical , strength and great
animosity la shown by oam to the other.
Fusion with th pepullsta was very dis
tasteful to the majority, bat Is was forced
upon them. They openly threaten to bolt
the ticket at th poll. Th democratic
ticket is singularly weak, ia great contrast
to th republican. It would seem thst they
had scoured tbe county, with one or tw
exceptions, to secure candidates whose
past record and present qualifications
would engender criticism snd promo!
strife in their party Another factor tend
ing to give th republicans great courage
is tbe fact of tbe democratic majorities
being rut down steadily from year to year.
A few year ag-o they carried this county
by 70S votes. At tbe last general eiectioa
their majority was less than 300.

gram.! Frank J. Kobes, proprietor of the
Crete brewery, attempted to commit sui
cide at an early hour last evening by
shooting himself In the right temple. Tbe
failure of his attempt at self-destruction
was due to the fact that the bullet, instead
of penetrating th brain, glanced around
to the front of the cranium, lodging some-
where near tbe nasal bone. The loal
physicians who attended the victim today
express hope for his recovery, though tbey
lave not yet definitely located the bullet
which, la Its passage, destroyed the sight
of the right eye. The cause for the deed
Is unknown, though it ts commonly at
tributed to a temporary fit of despondency,
which seemed to have possessed him yes-
terday. He spent most of the day In his
room st home, not coming down for din
ner until his wife sent for Mm quite lata
In tbe afternoon. He seemed very gloomy
