Milwaukee Sentinel. "Lincoln, Neb., has recently been mado the distributing point for all the mall bags used In the western railway mall service," said A. R. Talbot of that city at the Pfister. "Denver was formerly the distributing point and the change has been brought about by the great Increase In population through the southwest. The government has to take into consideration railway facilities and location In making a selection of this kind and for that reason the change has been a source of a good deal of gratification to Lincoln people "The Lincoln postofflce ranks as twenty sixth among the postoffices of the United States, though the city in population ranks payable to The Ilea Publishing Company. hospitality."

The Immediate cause of the outburst of cheer and hopefulness is the determined opposition of the mayor and his purpose to exhaust all honorable means to defeat the measure. The mayor has ten days In which to consider the measure and he Intends taking every minute of the time allowed by law In cementing the oppos. Ing forces for the purpose of sustaining his veto when It is handed in. The meas ure passed both bodies almost unani mously, and effective work is needed to divide the compact strength of the men behind the grab. The first stroke of tha mayor was the suspension of three chiefs of departments, the most important In the city, each with a salary of $10,000 and each controllng a large amount of po litical patronage. Besides the upheavals produced by the mayor's action, public meetings are being held in every ward, the offending councllmen are being har assed by Indignant constituents, and all organised commercial bodies are aggres sively rallying to the support of the mayor, determined at all hasards to de feat the consummation of the gas deal. of America, Is printed at Lincoln and dis tributed through the postofflce there.

"Soon after the pensioner had drawn the pension due March I, 1904, a rumor was put In circulation that the soldier had se cured a divorce from the said pensioner, and that, therefore, she was unlawfully drawing a pension. "Steps taken to discover the facts re sulted in a long, tedious hunt. Tha history ot the search would be too uninteresting to relate; suffice to ssy, that the soldier was divorced from the pensioner some twenty years ago. They wera both old then. The pensioner Is now over SO years old, and has lost her mind to the extent that she can remember but little of the past. "You will find Inclosed with the pension certificate a New York draft calling for VM.40, the amount unlawfully drawn.
