NEW GOVERNMENT BUILDING IS
OPENED TO PUBLIC TODAY.
EVERYTHING SEEMS STRANGE
Because of the Changing of Boxes , the
Key System and the Difference In
Location , Everything About the
Place Will be Queer.
"Moved ( o now Kovi't'iimunt build
ing"
Tluil IH Ihosordlng of a Hlgu which
IIIIMKH In Iho door of the vacant room
In the I'ntilllo block , where formerly
WUH Ihn Norfolk poHtolllco. And that
HII | ; tcllH nvory unknowing passerby
JiiHt whi > ro the poHtollluo IH located to
day.
After all of the inullH of last night
hud been dlHtrlbuted In thu boxen , jimt
an iiHiiiil , the clorkH and employes of
the poHtolllce took off tholr coats mid
begun to evacuate. In purfuct order
the main army rotruatud through the
trout door , marched down Norfolk nv-
entio , made a Hanking movement at
Fourth Htreet and captured the mag-
nlllcont new federal building on Mad-
IKOII aveiiiiu without a struggle.
It WIIH a great catch. Costing one
hundred thoiiHaiid dollars , with every
detail perfect and admirable. , It Is ono
of the finest Hlructures today In all
NebniHka and probably the very llnest
ftMleral building In a city of Norfolk's
sl/.e , the country over.
There will ho coufitHloti In the now
building for noino days to come. With
the rearrangement of hojces , and un
til the employes got tholr bearings ,
everything will scorn straugo. The
malls , for Instance , which remained
ever lu the boxes at the old postolllco
hist night , were wrapped up and car
ried Into the now olllco's general de
livery. No one owned a box when the
doors opened today. And ovoryoiio
had to pay box rout In advance and
make a deposit for throe keys , at
twenty cents each , before the box
could bo turned ovor.
The box numbers are not the same
lu this as In the old ofllco. There are
no combination boxes In this all , all
bolug of the lock and key variety.
And ono of the Unltod States laws re
quires that no moro than throe Uoys
shall exist for each box. It Is a violation
lation of the law to have duplicates
mado.
Already the new workroom for the
postal puoplo Is crowded. Tlio t'uriil-
turo required for the dispatching and
receiving of Norfolk's mall has about
all of the space that can ho pluchod
In the now quarters right at the start.
The furniture Is all handsome lu every
way , complete and durable. Postmas
ter Hays has a private olllco prettily
appointed.
The furniture In the old postotllco Is
the property of John Kooiilgstolu , own
er of the building. Kor a number of
years Mr. Kooulgstuln has rented that
room to the government at the rate
of $10 per yoar. Saturday's News will
contain a detailed description of the
now structure.

"Klgln has a building that cost $100-
