THE HATTER OF
THE PARCELS POST
Congressman Pollard Says
it Will Hot Come Up at
This Session
Some time since the Journal pub
lisher signed two petitions relative to
the proposed snide parcels post system,
and on receipt of which Congressman
Pollard replies as follows:
Mr. R. A. Bates:
Plattsmouth, Neb.,
Dear Sir: The two petitions which
you signed, relative to the proposed
parcels post and H. R. 13147, and at
hand. I am every much opposed to the
principle involved in II. R. 13147, and
I do not look with favor upon any form
of a general post. It seems to me,
however, that a system confined strict
ly to packages originating at a central
postoffice or on the rural routes run
ning out from that office would be of
great benefit to the farmers and the
merchants in the smaller cities and
towns and in no way assist the great
mail order houses.
I have talked with the chairman
and other members of the commit
tee having these bills in charge,
as well as to a great many other mem
bers of congress, and I am convinced
that there is not vthe slightest chance
of any of these bills being even taken
up for consideration during this con
gress. Very truly yours,
Eknest M. Pollaro.
Dictated April 3,
Brought Hilt Martin Home

proved and was able to be brought

thought he is on the way to recovery.
The little fellow has had a very severe
time and it is earnestly hoped that he

covery. The operation which wa? ex
pected to have taken place in the light
of after developements, from the time
he was taken to Omaha, was not made
and it is hoped will not have to be.

Band Boys Wrecked
The town portion of the Union Band
had a double wreck last Saturday night
while enroute down to Will James'
home where they had planned to meet
other members for practice and a good
time. James Rainey's carry-all was
chartered, the load was made up of
Amos McNamee, Alva Stites, Roy
Austin, Sam Stites, C. L. Graves and
Geo. Stites, and on the way Will Rey
nolds and his big tuba joined the crowd.
All went well' for awhile, but in the
darkness the team drew the carry-all
over a bank and the first wreck was a
reality. Finally the boys got from un
der, and an inventory showed no seri
ous damage to person or property, and
getting the vehicle on its feet the jour
ney was resumed. Every fellow joined
in the fun of the accident and the mirth
rolled out in big chunks for exactly 11J
minutes when ker flop went the veh
icle again, and wreck No. 2 was in sight.
Some of the boys jumped for life, but
McNamee and Al. Stites died at the
throttle or would if Tuba Reynolds
hadn't caught the team at the right
time. Then another inventory was tak
en and showed Al Stites with a cut
head and bruised back, Amos McNamee
was minus a section of ear, Roy Aus
tin and Sam Stites had a pair of trom
bones bent and twisted for playing cir
cular music, Will Reynolds' eyes pop
ped out like a pair of full moons, and
Georgie Stites stood speechless and
chewed a corner of his shirt tail to
drown his grief.
The boys got things to rights once
more and unanimously voted to abandon
the trip, and returned to town without
further accident. The Coon factory is
the only place that can figure a profit
out of this trip, as some instruments
had to be sent in for repairs, and the
band's records will contain a resolution
to the effect that Jim Rainey's carry
all is the band's 13. Union Ledger.

Died in Indiana.
Last Saturday word was received by
telegram from Dr. J. E. Hall of Alex

died. As so many living here knew
Mrs. Hall during her long residence in
Weeping Water, the news will be noted

cellent christian lady, and her loss will
mean to the husband and children more
sorrow than words can express. We
expect to receive more complete news
later. Weeping Water Republican.
