Every ono Is interested in tbo working of
the postofllco department , yet few know but
llttlo of the manner of it , other than tlmt
they drop a lotttir Into a street box and some
eilont Influence picks It up , dolUers It , over
many thousands of miles , lo Its destination
nml returns an answer.
Without the perfect working of tuo nost-
Dfllcc department btislnois wonltl bo almost
paralyzed and every branch of commercial ,
| Klttlcal and aoclul life seriously aflcctcd and
tbo marvel Is Unit tbo local department can
meet tlio demands made upon it with any
thing like ItH present measure of succois.
TLcro are 175 strcot letter boxes In the city
from ninny of which collections are mndo
four times a day and the drop boxes In tbo
ofllco proper must bo emptied during the
busy hour * almost every live minuts. Tlio
young men whoso business It Is to fare mid
slump all thcao with ttio naino of tbo ofllco
and the hour of receipt must work very rap
idly mul become very export. So , too , these
who throw them to iho different routes they
must take to reach their destination. Ono
young Italian , who commenced as n mes
senger , can now read nnd throw over
Bovcnly-flve letters n minute. Accuracy and
rapidity are essentials In this department.
Loiters nro received and handled un to the
very last moment posstolo before the de
parture of mull wagons for tbo various
trains.
Ono who hnd not personally seen the vast
amount of matter brought In by collectors
unit deposited would scarcely bcllovo so
Jnany letters wcro written oven In a city of
this size. Tbo inconiiiii' malls are very rap
idly opened and back-stamped and four or
llvo distributing clerks quickly scatter them
to tbo various carriers and boxes , and ono
wonders how so much matter can bo tmndlod
with so few mistakes. It is very evident
that if letter writers were as careful In ad
dressing their letters as tlm postofllco em
ployes uro in handling them scarcely any
mistakes would occur. All lottcri and pack
ages should bo addressed to strcot and num
ber nnd linvo a return card of ttio sender In
tbo corner. If this wore done very few let-
tir.i would go astray.
One experienced clerk Is kept very busy
bunting up addresses trom tbo directory.
Another In changing addresses und forward-
jnir. Another has returned under cover to
writers for wrong addresses loiters In the
last thirteen days. Another sends nn average -
ago of1UO to iho dead letter ofllco each week.
Letter writers are very careless and still
blumo the postofllce. Every day letter.Taro
mailed without address , and very often with-
uuiMuumi. jv low uuys since n icucr was
dropped In the ofllco containing $175 ad
dressed 13 a box without minio or city and no
etaint ) . The postmaster got It back to the
writer. If properly addressed and return
cards placed thereon this would bo avoided.
The1 special delivery system is being
more appreciated every day. As
noon as a letter reaches the ofllco with n
special delivery stamp thereon n special
messenger in uniform Immediately carries it
to Its destination. Six hundred nnd nlnoty-
ono such letters wcro delivered during April.
Forty-flvo carriers handled 1,777,211) ) pieces
of mail matter during the month of March ,
nnd although working moro hours and being
only two-thirds in number of those employed
In Dcnvor , Kansas City or St. Paul , and
doing fully as much moro work , It is very
satisfactory to the postmaster to hear 30
many kindly expressions of their work
nnd their courtesy , The Omaha ofllco is
very short of carriers , and in order
to give the scrxico to which the
people nro fully entitled there would bo re
quired at least txveiity Additional carrier" ,
Tor xvhlch tt most Vigorous request has been
made , nnd the r-ostmastor has reason to hnpo
that by July 1 ho can promise as perfect ser
vice in Omaha us any city of its size in the
country.
The question of room to do the business of
the olllco until the now building is completed
Is a very serious one. At present the em-
jiloycs are so crowded Unit the olllco looks
like n bee hlvo In busy hours , but the post
master is making a strong effort to secure
the rooms immediately over the working de
partment , now occupied by the United States
court room and United States attorney. If
this Is accomplished the money order nnd
registry departments will bo put
up stairs , the stamp department changed to
the present money order.room , which will
greatly increase the facilities of the olllco
nnd give room enough for the next 11 vo yearn.
A look back and comparison of llgure.s
shows the wonderful Increase of the otllco
and groxvlh of the city. In 18SO the expenses
of the onlce were $12,000 , the income from
sales of stamps mid envelopes f(12,000. ( In
1885 , expenses $10,000 , Income $118,11. . In
IS'.H ) . ' income The
, expenses W..OOO , fiftS.-lUi.
registry department 1s increasing in equal
proportion. It now takes live oxi > crieiicod
men to run this branch of the nUlco , working
thrco during the day und txvo at night. All
valuable matter should bo registered , The
system is so perfect that registered matter
can scarcely miscarry or bo lost.
The money order department is an nnomalr.
The sales of orders have decreased annually
for thrco years , while the payments of orders
have correspondingly increased. Tlio Omrdia
ofllco pays out In money orders two and a
quarter times as much as she receives from
the sales. Received in ISM , t2 : ' . ) , UIl.S ! ! ) from
the sale of money orders and notes ; paid o.a
during .samo time on orders and notes , iCiT'J-
4IK1.28. These , with remittances from other
ofllccs , make n business of over $2,000,000 per
annum in tills department.
Of ccurso , In un ofllco employing
BO many people and dealing xvlth
BO many in so sacred n business
us handling their letters , it is not to ho ex
pected that mistakes will not occur , and yet
they ere comparatively very few , and the
postmaster considers it a favor that errors
nnd carelessness bo reported , as It is not pos
sible to correct xvhat ho Is not advised of.
The envelope always tells tlio tale , and should
bo sent in as u basis on xvhlch to trace er
rors.
rors.Tho postmaster Is tilling a long felt want
In the community by having gotten 0111 by
one of the enterprising railroad companies a
complete compendium of the rule * and reg
illations of the postofllco department , rates of

Ho Is In hoprs of havinglt In the hands ot all
patrons of the olllco in u week or ten days.
Anxious to make the postoftlco u comfort
Instead of mi annoyance and anxious that It
shall equal in It.s management any other olllco

DEMOCRACY'S ' BIG MAJORITY1
Statistical Glance at the Ojmpoiition of the
Next Congress.
SIXTEEN SOLID STATE DELEGATIONS.
'Ililrtvon InVlilcli tlio DcniournlH
Jlnvn n Miijoi'lty Where tlio His-
liiibllcaiiH and Ki
Alliance Come In.
WASHINGTON' , May 10. fSncclal Corro-
Rpomlciico of Tin : Uii.1 : Some interesting
figures ntnl deductions ere furnished by the
printed lists of members-elect of the next
housu of representatives. The list Is un-
ottlclal , but It is occuralo ,
Ot the 833 members tuero are 437 demo
crats , eiylity-sevcu republicans and elfiht
members of the fnrmers' alliance , who will
HO Into cither party uiuieus. There nro other
members In southern state * who were elected
on tlm alliance platform , but they will vote
on party questions with the dcmuorats.
15 Glancing over the list by states It appears
thiit tliero are , of the forty-four states , no
less than sixteen with solid democratic dele
gations and thirteen moro where the majority
of the delegation is democratic. There are
ten states with solid republican delegations
mid two with republican majorities. Of the
remaining thrco states two have alliance
majorities , wtnlo In the remaining state ,
Minnesota , there are three democrats , one re
publican and one alliance men , so that the
delegation on a vote Is democratic. Summing
up , the democrats control the vote of thirty
states , the republicans twelve , the alliance
two total forty-four.
There aru sixteen solid democratic
delegations and ten republican. The sixteen
solid democratic delegations Incl'ldo ' n mem-
oership of 100 , while the ton solid republican
delegations number a total membership of
llftccn. The frightful disparity lies in tuo
fact ttiat of the ten solid republican delega
tions seven of them Colorado , Idaho ,
Novadn , North Dakota , Oregon , Washington
mid Wyoming consist of ono member each ,
who Is a solid republican. There remain
thrco solid scales , of which two , Soutli
Dakota mid Vermont , have two members
each , and the state of Maine , with Messrs.
Uecd , ISoutclle , Uliigley and Mllllken , form a
very solid delegation of four.
The solid democratic states are almost ap
palling. Missouri alone has fourteen , nearly
as many as the entire force of the solid re
publicans. The others are Alabama 8 ,
Georgia 10 , Louisiana 0 , Maryland 0 , Missis
sippi 7 , South Carolina 7 , Texas 11 , Virginia
10 , West , Virginia 4 , besides such odds and
ends as two each from Florida , Now Hamp
shire and Hhcao Island and ono each from
Delaware nnd Montana , where the spirit is
willing but the flesh is evidently weak.
In the thirteen states whore the democrats
have majorities in the delegations there nro
in nil 11. ) democrats and -17 republicans , n net
majority of ( W ; It. the two republican
states there are ± ! republicans ! and 12 dem
ocrats , n not majority of 10. Here , again , tlio
democrats control , with the exception of
Pennsylvania , all of the largo delegations ,
the status standing : Illinois , 14 to 0 ; In-
di.mn , 11 to 2 ; Kentucky , 10 to 1 ; Massa
chusetts , 7 to 5 ; Michigan , 8 to 8 ; Now
York , 2 ! to 11 ; North Carolina , 8 to 1 ; Ohio ,
14 to 7 ; Tennessee , 8 to 2 ; Wisconsin , S to 1 ;
Connecticut. U to 1 ; Iowa , 0 to5 ; Now Jewcy ,
it to 2.
The republican delegations are Pennsyl
vania , 18 to 10 ; California , 4 to 2. Of the re
maining states there nro in Kansas flvo al
liance men to two republicans and in Ne
braska two alliance men to ono democrat ,
giving the alliance those two states , while in
Minnesota , as already stated , there being
three democrats , ono republican and ono nl-
lianco man , the control of the delegation is
with the democrats. This , then , Is a sum
mary :
Democrats Solid delegations , 10 ; majority
delegations , 14 ; total , 30.
Hcpublican Solid delegations , 10 ; majority
delegations , : ] ; total , 12.
Alliance-Solid delegations , 0 ; majority
delegations , 2 ; total , 2.
On a division by states upon any question
therefore the democrats would carry ttio
vote by thirty to twelve , or u majority or
eighteen.
It is not out of the range of the possible
that such a question may arise in the next
house. That question would bo the
most Important In the history of this
country. It would bo the question of
the next president of the United States. U
seems almost certain that the politicians in
the farmers' alliance will try to torco that
organization to place u candidate for the
presidency in the Held. Who ho may bo no
one can guess , it is said mat senator u
Stanford of California could get it if ho
wanted It. in any event it is among the pos
sibilities that the determination of the presi
dential question next your may bo loft to
congro < s , which makes Interesting if not im
portant the analysis of the political complex"-
Ion by states.
Should the house have the controlling vote
In the presidential contest all the states
would moat on a common level and the 50.000
whites , blacks , half-breeds , mongrels , Chin
ese and Indians of ttio Nevada mining camp
would bo as powerful in electing a president
us the many millions of intelligent residents
of the state of Now York , and Mr. Uurtino
would bo as big a man as Mr. Flower , as the
states would vote as states , and not us Indi
vidual members of the delegations. So big
is the democratic majority , oven as
the unit vote by states , that they
could elect the president , oven if not a single
republican was present. The constitution
provides that there shall bo present a quo
rum consisting of u member or members
from two-thirds of the statei , so that with
their thirty states the democrats could legiti
mately elect the president without the at
tendance of a single republican , The deep
interest which both the democratic and the
republican parties toke in tbo alliance's en-
LLUU llllU IUU 11U1U UL UiUlUllIU I'UllklU3 Uilll
therefore bo very readily understood.
Still another feature presents itself In case
the alliance throws the vote Into the houso.
There would then probably bo a democratic
president and a republican vice president.
i''or tin ; same article of the constitution which
makes tlio nouso elect the president
throws the election of the vice presi
dent in thn senate. Hut hero there is n
difference. In the llrst place , tha list ol
oliglbles for the vlco presidency Is confined
to the two niinr's having the highest number
of votes cast for them in the electoral college ,
instead of three , as Is the case in tbo pro-l-
dent. Hence in tlio present senate Messrs.
Irny and PolTcr , the alliance senators , anil
Mr. Kyle , the Indo-crot from South Dakota ,
would bo compelled to vote for either the
democrat or the republican. Another Im
portant dlfforenco Is that the unit rule foi
states does not hold in the senate , for the
constitution provides Unit in electing the vlco
president the quorum for the purpose shal
consist of two-thirds of the whole number o ;
senators , and n majority of the whole num
ber of senutois ( not states ) shall DO
necessary to a choice. The republicans have
a majority of six In the senate now. They

CHECK
If signed by a chronic dead beat , is not worth the paper it is written on. It's so with an advertisement.
Its value lies more in its signature than in its contents. Its an easy matter for anybody to advertise a
certain thine : at a certain price , but its another thingto live up to the advertisement. We have in the
past four years and a half advertised a great many bargains. The man , woman or child don't live
who ever read an advertisement signed by the Nebraska Clothing Company who did not find the goods
in the store exactly as we claimed , if they looked.
AN IMMENSE PURCHASE.
Our resident buyer who lives in N'cw York , and who docs nothing but buy goods for us , has re
cently closed out several big lots of Men's Suits. They arc suits which manufacturers ( who are already
at workmen goods for next fall ) are anxious to close out. They didn't want the goods and did want the
room. The suits arc first class in every way , made by the leading concerns in the country , arc cut ,
lined , made and trimmed in superb style. They come in an almost endless variety of stylesJen of one
style , twenty-five of another , fifty or a hmilred of another. Not a suit but what is worth' fifteen dollars ,
and many should sell for eighteen. They were bought cheap , bought to sell , not to keep. "You know
our way. " Today we put them all in one grand lot and you can take your pick for
.7
BL.AOK OJUAYS.
We will also put on sale several big piles of suits made of tin's popular fabric , in sacks
and frocks , cut , lined and trimmed just as they should be. These suits ought to bring eigh-
tenn or twenty dollars , but we divide with our customers and sell the
S13.OO. Krodvs cxt SIS-BO.
YOUNG MEIM'B SUITS-
We will also sell ( on the second floor ) two hundred all wool black Cheviot Suits for
young men , ages 14 to 18 , coats and vests made with patch pockets , and pants with nobby side

MOORE'S LIFE
Eginiton , 111. , Aug 11 , ' 80. Dr. J. P.
Moore Dear Sir : 1 had been sick for throe
years until I began to take your Tree of Life
about eight months ago. For two years I
was unable to do any work. I was atto idad
during the time by seven dill'erent doctors ,
but found no rellt-f , but was rather worse.
Eight month < ago I purchased a bottle of
your Tree of Ufa and began taking It I
have taken five bottles and now for about
four months I have been n well man , able to
eat and do men's work. It was a God-send
to me whtm Aa Parker brought the Tree of
Life to my no.ice. I want to ih.ink you be
sides for the good It hiibdjueine. Voi-y re
spectfully , W. W. WENKS.
