have been applied to have responded
quickly. The railroads have given free

Aid for Oroutlk Sufferers*
The question of how to look after suf
ferers, says the Lincoln Journal, from
the unprecedented drouth until the
next regular session of tho legislature
was taken up by Governor Crounso sev
eral months since, llo appointed Rev.
L. 1*. Luddeu, who was secrotary of the
old relief commission, to make inqui
res as to the amount of assistance need
ed in Nebraska and the localities where
most needed. This involved a great
deal of systematic research, including
inquiry of country officers as to the
number of calls for aid and the ability
of tlie counties to provide for their own
needy. This work has been done, and
his excellency, the governor, appointed
a relief commission to co-operate with
llev. Ludden in giving relief. The com
mission so appointed consists of \V. N.
Nason and l)r. Joseph Duryea, Omaha;
S. B. Thompson, Brolceu Bow; R. R.
Greer, Kearney; A. J. Sawyer, John
McClay, J. 11. Hartley and C, J. lCrncst,
Lincoln. To each of these Governor
Crounso has sent the following letter:
"The severe drouth of tho present
season has brought with it much dis
tress and has occasioned the necessity
for relief. The matter of looking after
the needy until the next regular ses
sion of the legislature has been referred
to the several counties and localities
thus afflicted. Still, there is a demand
for help beyond tho ability of the sev
eral localities to meet which calls for
outside aid. In order that this aid may
be furnished and met hot! given to its
distribution, 1 have called to my assis
tance the Rev. Luther I*. Ludden, who
for some time has been engaged in
making inquiry as to the amount of as
sistance needed and the several locali
ties where most demanded. With the
view to assisting him in thisgood work
and giving an opportunity to the char
itably disposed to make donations, 1
have to request that you will co-oper
ate with him in soliciting and distribut
ing such donations us you may be able
to secure.
"I trust that you may find it agree
able to engage at once in this labor, as
the time has come when these needy
people should have prompt attention.
Please advise me at once whether you
will kindly engage in this good work.”

NEW CIVIL SERVICE RULES
EXTENSIONS OF GREAT IMPOR
TANCE MADE.
SEVERAL REV ORDERS JOST ISSUED
Changes of Importance In the Custom*
Service, the Fostofflce Deportment
and Other Branches of the Gov
ernment Are Ordered—Other
Important Changes Are
Under Consideration.
Washinoton, Not. 5.—The president
has signed several orders of great im
portance in connection with the civil
service reform movement, mak
ing important extensions of the clas
sified service to offices heretofore un
classified and revising existing classi
cations in branches of the service
already classified, so as to bring
within the classification many places
heretofore excluded. These are as
follows:
First—A revision of the customs
classifications so as to bring within
the service all employes not serving
merely as workmen or laborers, with
out regard to compensation. Here
tofore this service has been classified
on the basis of compensation. All
employes receiving a compensation
of less than SHOO have been excluded
from the classification, and therefore
not subject to the civil service rules.
This action of the president brings
the classification of the customs ser
vice into harmony with those of the
other branches of the service.
Second—An amendment to customs
rule 1, extending the classification to
include all customs districts in which
there are as many as twenty em
ployes. The present limit is fifty em
ployes and under that limit eleven
customs districts have been classified.
The extension of the classification to
include all districts in which there
are as many as twenty employes will
bring into the classified service cer
tainly eleven additional districts and
probably several more.
Third—An amendment to the class
ification of the department at Wash
ington so as to include in the class
ified service, and subject to the civil
service rules in all the departments,
messengers, assistant messengers and
watchmen.
Fourth—An amendment to the civil
service rule abolishing the right of
transfer, upon non-competitive exam
ination, of persons appointed to ex
cepted places after one year’s service
in such places to classified non-ex
cepted places. Hereafter persons ap
pointed from the outside to excepted
places in any branch of the classified
service cannot be transferred at the
end of one year into the places cov
ered by examination.
Fifth—An order extending the clas
sification of the postoffice department
so as to include in the classified ser
vice to the department the clerks em
ploye^ in the offices of the postoffice
lbspeetors.
Sixth—Amendments to the postal
rules withdrawing from the excepted
class a very large proportion of the
places now excepted from examina
tion. This will transfer from the
excepted class in the classified post
office to the non-excepted class prob
ably not less than 1,500 places, the
whole number of excepted places in
classified postoffices now being in the
neighborhood of 2,300. Hereafter it
will not include more than 700 or 800.
Seventh—An amendment to the de
partment rules withdrawing from the
excepted class in the department of
agriculture the chiefs of the divisions
of entomology, economic ornithology
anil mammalogy and pomology and
chiefs of these divisions.
Eighth—An amendment to the In
dian rule providing for the appoint
ment as assistant teachers in the In
dian school service, without civil ser
vice examination of graduates of the
masses at tne &aiem, ure.
Santa Fe, N., M., Haskell Institute,
Lawrence, Kan., Carlisle school, Car
lisle, Pa., and Hampton Institute
Hampton, Va., upon their certificates
of graduation, but before they can be
a^vanec<l to teacherships they
shall be required to pass the regular
civil service examination.
Ninth—Allowing appointment witli
out examination for not exceeding
thirty days to places which may be
filled by non-competitive examina
tion in the departments at Washing
ton m cases of emergency, pending
an examination by the commisson
No appointment made under this
thi'rtyrdayy.sean C0DtiDUe longer thaD
The president has had these
changes under consideration for some
time and before his return from his
vacation notified the commission that
immediately upon his return he would
consult with them in reference tliere
Other important changes involving
an extension of the classified service
are still under consideration and onlv
await arrangement of minor details
through conference between the civil
service commission and the heads of
various departments.
