feather bed, the latter belonging to

in such manner as to Inflict a very
severe cut in one of his wrists. It was
feared for a time that blood poison
ing might set,in, but he is now doing
nicely and danger from that source
is believed past.
At about the same time, his son,
while attempting to vault a line he

The Dead letter OfFice.
A hospital for letters, parcels. How
do they get there? By not being
properly addressed, no street num
ber, if in large city, perhaps moved,
left no address. The letter bearing
no return address, in the upper left
hand corner, not being delivered
from post office to which it is mailed,
held for 30 days hoping the adressee
will show up to claim his mail. If he
fails to call all that can be done is
to send the letter or parcel to the
dead letter office, where it is disect
ed for tho purpose of finding the
sender and if you have enclosed your
full name and address the letter is
returned to you in an envelope from
the dead letter office for which you
pay 2c upon delivery.
More than a hundred years ago the
need for such an office was found to
be necessary. At first all undeliver
able mail was handled at Washing
ton, D. C. But when the volume piled
up to over 25;000,000 pieces the con
gestion was so great something had
to be done; so the postal author
ities divided the country into four
dead letter districts. ': .. .-; :
This happened in 1917, headquar
ters at "Washington, with branch of
fices in Chicago, New York, and San
Francisco. The dead letter hospital
for this area i3 Chicago. It costs
about a million dollars annually to
run this dead letter morgue. About
$15,000 in exces of what Unble Sam
realizes from the sale of dead parcel
pot, loose money, stamps and other
valuable mail. More than $125,000
is realized annually from sale of un-
deliverable parcels Containing mer
chandise, that was unclaimed or
could not be returned. With over a
half million unclaimed packages sent
to this hospital, about one-third are
finally traced and returned to the
sender or assignee, one-sixth is de
stroyed a3 of no value, remainder
disposed of at public auction.
So if you want your gifts and
letters of Christmas cheer to go thru
before the season is over, shop now
and mail early, wrap and tie securely
address plainly, giving street num
ber if in city, and do not forget to
place your own address in upper left
hand corner of all outgoing mail.
Help yourself, your friend3 as well
as all postal workers to spread the
Christmas cheer around the world.

and Beschorner.
The contest for secretary of the
state senate, a job worth in the past
around $2,000 for three or four

Gruenther of Omaha, and L. E. Chad
derdon of Holdrege in the list. The

two new names. Senator Banning of

for secretary of the senate, has not
come forward with a substitute can
didate. "I think it lies between Gruen
ther and Gus Beschorner of Lincoln,"
said Senator Banning on his arrival
in Lincoln Tuesday afternoon. Re
garding the report that E. A. Wal
rath, candidate for secretary of the
senate, had gone to Washington to
resign his federal place in the con
gressional bill room, Banning said
Walrath had better hold on to his
job. He pointed out that Horace M.
Davis, a candidate for the secretary
ship, also has a job as state inspector
for the state fire marshal.
Gruenther ha3 served as reporter
on an Omaha newspaper and has
done political work for former Sen
ator Hitchcock. His friends say he
is well quaificd fcr Eecrctary of the
senate. Gus Beschorner served as
bookkeeper of the senate some years

society circles and politics.
Lieutenant Governor-elect Jurgen
sen say3 he is taking no part in con
tests in the senate.
Trennior Cone, who has removed to
Lincoln, is working on a grist of

years ago, one relating to "anti-discrimination"
and the other fixing a
unit for prices.
