Duties of Rural Carriers.
Postmaster Hacker has received au
official order from Washington defin
ing and prescribing tho duties of
rural mall carriers. The order is as
follows:
"That rural carriers are not per
mttfnri to solicit business or receive
orders of any kind for any person,
firm or corporation.
"No mallablo matter may bo hand
led by rural carriers wmio serving
Abelr routes, unless tho prop' r post-
ko has been propald, with tho single
exception of county newspapers, which,
under tho law, aro permitted to uo
carried freo throughout tho county
i which, thoy aro published, to actual
subscribers, and -such newspapers ad
dressed to subscriber", residents on
rural routes, must bo deposited at tho
postotflce the snmo as papers for
other subscribers,
"Tho hlro for merchandise carried
on request of the patron of rural freo
delivery must be paid by the patron.
Carriers will uot bo pormltted to ro
cevo auy compensation from the
seller of such merchandise.
"Articles or packngoe, which are
mailable, which aro handed to tho
enrrier or deposited at tho postofllco
or in n rural letter box or in a collec
tion box located on a ruval route, with
a request that the rural carrier deliver

gulating mall matter, including tho
paymont of 'postago thereon.
"Articles or packages that aro not

rural carrier to carry, must bo deliver

carriers aro not permitted to leave

Lincoln Letter.
Lincoln. Neil, Juno '22,
Tho proud old commonwealth of
Massachusetts has come to Nobtiisku
to borrow again, aud again her young
western sister has decided to uccomm
date tho applicant. At its meeting
last week the state board of education
al lauds and funds decided to urohaso
$100,000 worth of .Massachusetts bonds
at 'i per cent. In addition to this
heavy invest ment it has been decided
that about $100,000 worth of warrants
may bo purchased with entiro safety

Gaino Warden Carter has received a
number of inquiries from persons who
wish to know whether or not it is law
ful to take beaver in Nebraska, and
investigation bus disclosed the fact
that these furry inhabitants of tfio
creeks aud ponds have increased very
rapidly during tho past two or throo
years. Tho law does not protect them,
as they were supposed to bo practic
ally extinct.

Tho governor's family left Monday
for St. Louis to see tho exposition.
Governor Mickey had arranged to no
imintmiiv them, but was obliged to
abandon tho trip on account of tho
assessment board's failure to complete
its work according to expectations.

Since Auditor Weston has reported
that S'280 000 of the state debt has been
wiped out within tho last six months,
tho administration has been encour
aged to bellovejthat tho state indebt
edness may bo entirely wiped oi.t
without making any material increase
in tho revenues. Tho next half year,
however, will bo an expensivo one aud
tho drain on tho treasury will bo heavy
on account of tho great buildings
which aro being erected, at Lincoln,
Norfolk, Koarney and elsewhere. In
years when no such extraordinary
expenditures aro necessary, and with
a state administration as careful and
economical as tho present one, tho
debt ought to grow steadily smaller
and a decade of careful management
ought to wlpo It out.

Kuy P. Teelo, of Washington, in tho

per cent, or about eight per cent great

found by sale reports which linvo beeu
compiled in the ofllco of Laud com

uot yet agreed upon a distribution of
tho values, but It is thought that des
pite the vehement protest bf General
Manderson and other representative
of tho interested corporations, tho
unit system will prevail, aud main ami
branch lines will bo nssossod nt'thc
