With the democratic central
committee in other counties in

The city of Detroit within the
last year made a profit of $35,000
from its city prison. All prison
ers who were able , were compelled
to workIf more cities followed
the example of Detroit and com
pelled the lawless element to
work , while in the custody of'the
law instead of allowing them to
lay around and consume rations ,
our prisons could be made to bear
a portion of the expense required
to maintain them.
The Standard Oil Company
has recently declared a quarterly
dividend of $15 per share. With
such evidence of prosperity on the
part of that concern , the fine of
$29,000,000 imposed on it by
Judge Landis of Chicago will
only tend to cut down its annual
dividend. It will require more
than a fine to compel these crim
inals to obey the law. A few
weeks or months behind the bars
would be a better remedy.
A Chinese editor , while lectur
ing at the Y. M. C. A. associa

advocate of the "square deal. "

NOTICE TO RURAL FREE DELIVERY
PATRONS !
To the Patrons of Rural Free Delivery , Falls City , Neb.--
Pursuant to recent orders from the Post Office Department , box
holders are required to have their box number and name plainly
and durably Inscribed on the outside of their mall box. If you have
not already done so , or if you have and for any reason the same has
been obliterated or erased , kindly have your name and box number
Inscribed thereon , in a conspicuous place.
I Would suggest that you direct your correspondents to Include
route and box number In their addresses.
At the suggestion of the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General I
desire to call attention to the practice of some patrons , of placing
loose coins in their boxes each time they desire to dispatch letters ,
Instead of supplying themselves with postage in advance of their
needs. The practice imposes undue hardship on rural carriers , in
removing loose coins from boxes , and delays them In the service of
their routes. You are therefore urgently requested to provide and
keep on hand a supply of stamps , consistent with and In advance ol
your needs. It is also very desirable that rural patrons place in
their mail boxes , small detachable cups of wood or tin , In which to
place coins when necessary in purchasing supplies of stamps.
G. J. CROOK , Postmaster.
Money otten lies idle awaiting opportunity for invest
ment , but these opportunities do not come every day , or
week or even month. In the meantime this money should
be earning something , and it can , if placed m this bank.
Will explain it to you on application.
