January I, l'li cries will lit; made
lo the houses, those sending par
cels will have to post them, tak
ing I hem to th' postollice or to
I he stations which are to be
designated by the postmaster as
receiving stations for such mat
ter. However, persons living on
a rural route may give their par
cels to the carrier to In; mailed.
Another repiirement is that
special stamps will have to be
used on (he fourth-class mail
mailer after the law goes into ef
fect at the first of the year. Par
cels post packages mailed bearing
ordinary postage slumps will ho
held for postage, according to in
formation sent in a bulletin just
issued by the postmaster general.
This, it is believed, will probably
cause some delay and confusion
at first until the patrons become
familiar with Hie regulations.
Another requirement is that all
parcels must boar the return card
of the sender, otherwise they will
not be accepted for mailing.
Shortly before January 1 each
postmaster will be furnished with
one or more copies of the official
parcels post map of the United
States, showing the unit area in
which his postofflce is located, and
also the eight postal zones, in
dicating the distance on which the
rates are based. The special
parcels post stamps will lie placed
on sab; after January 1.

From Saturday's Dally.
Last evening the four classes
of tho High school came together
at Coatcs' hall for their annual
basket ball games and it resulted
in many surprises.
In tho opening game between
the juniors ami the freshmen, the
freshmen sprang a surprise on
their opponents ami hung a large,
sized defeat on them, winning by
a Hcore of 28 to 18. The young
sters had evidently practiced a
great deal more than the juniors,
as they lead the light all the way
"through the game.
Tho BcnloVs badly outclassed
the sophomores in their contest
and were able to throw baskets at
w'H, the sophs being unable lo
stop their clever plays. Arrios
ami luncan of the senior team
are very clever basket ball play
ers and had no trouble in gelling
the ball into Hie baskets at all
limes. The Until score of this
game w as 2 to 2 in favor of I he
seniors.
In the championship gain' be
tween the seniors and the fresh
men there was considerable feel
ing displayed by the players on
the freshman side and the referee.
The game was hard fought, both
sides playing a good game. The
dual score was 48 lo no in favor

Lincoln, J3V. 2. The Nebraska su

rendered. An opinion was handed
down in the suit denying the right o,
the Roosevelt electors to preferential
place on the ballot; also in the case
of A. M. Morrissey, who sought ii
vain to prevent the Progressives fron
going on the ballot at all.
The syllabus in the ease won by th(
Taft electors Is as follows:
"Persons nominated by a political
party al a primary election as candi
dates for presidential electors, are
nominated, not as electors to vote foi
any particular candidate then known
but to vote, if elected, for the persons
who may subsequently be nomlnatec
by the national convention of suet,
party as candidates for the offices ol
president and vice president.
"It Is a well settled rule at coinmor
law that if a person, while occupying
one otllce, accepts another Incompati
ble with the first, he Ipso facto vacates
the first otllce. and his title thereto is
thereby terminated without any other
act or proceeding. .
"In such a case one of the tests ol
lncompatibllltv Is whether the nature!
and duties of the two offices are such
as to render it Improper, from consid
erations of public policy, for the In
cumbent to retain both.
"Where It appears that acts or
events have occurred rendering an of
fice vacnnt, the authority having the
power to fill such vacancy may treat
the ofllco as vacant and proceed to
elect or appoint, according to the form
of law. another to fill It.
"Dy tho sfcittttes of this state every
voter has the right by a single cross,
or by one manipulation of the lever ol
a voting machine, to vote a straight
ticket for the candidates of his party.
And It Is the right of the governing

right.
