party which passed through Omaha,
The committeemen! planned to meet Mr.
Howell in Omaha, but later received a
telegram that he "would, meet them In
Denver."
It waa an agreeable quartet of trav

the National Democratic committee,
whoae every want was looked after by
William J. I-eahy, first assistant gen

that no one present knew, he said:
"By the way, who Is the fellow who
lias the World-Herald now?"
Anxious to know the feeling In the

newspaper men like long loat brothera
In the buffet car where they were trav

gallivant anal Bryan Wilt Klaa.
The questions about Mr. Sullivan and Mr.
Bryan being' reconciled provoked good hit
;triorrd answers at first. Mr. Sullivan took
hitch at the screaming purplo cravat
which ornamented the visible part of hie
ihlrt bosom, loojced out of the window and
tapped The sash, a la Richard Mnnsflcld.
"Tell us, confidentially," have you kissed
and made up? Insisted a reporter in a
coaxing voice which would take a secret
away from a man who had been dead a
month.
Norman Mack, newspaper man. came to
tha reacue. "Come along with us to Lln-
-oln and sea m kiss." lie said.
At the train passed over tiie Missouri
river, Roger Sullivan, once excommunicated
democrat, looked for the white post which
marks the line wliere Nebraska and Iowa
part company. . .
"We are in Nebraska." said the passen
ger agent. "Nebraska, tiie home of Bryan."
Cheer for !braekaa.
Itoger Sullivan lifted Ills hat, arose from
his seat, said something about hoping the
slate would go behind Its candidate with
a vote, and gave a faint hurrah for Bryan
Tha other three members cheered lonif.
But whether the cheer was In earnest or
waa In the. nature of a Jok could not be
' determined by an eye witness. A heartless
wag aboard aald an heroic statue of Bryan
would be seen when the train reached the
end of the bridge. The party looked out
the window on the black amokestacks of
busy Oman 4, thinking It might be true, and
then rebuked the wag.
AH thoughts now turned to Mayor Dalit

form, not 'With hla reata.o throw over, the
party, but With hla suit cuse. bland smile
and evidence that he waa a day or two be
hind with the barber. The mayor of Omaha
waa given a warm greeting by the party

"I have never received a letter from

Retrenchment at Writ Point.
WK3T POINT. Neb., Jan. 19. iHpe
rial.) The policy of the nuw republican
Board of Supervlwors of Cuming county
has been announced as ono of retrench
ment and reform. While no charge of
extravagance can or haa been made
against the outgoing board, It la rea
lised that tho coat of running the
county has materially Increased In re
cent years. The first step taken In this
direction was In cutting down the
amounts allowed "to county officers for
clerical help. The treasurer's applica
tion for a clerk at $600 per annum was
rejected, and $200 allowed for clerk
hire; ' The deputy treasurer will receive
$700. In the county clerk's office a
deputy at $700 has been allowed, but In
stead of a recorder at $00, clerk hire
to the amount of $250 was deemed suf
ficient. Sheriff and superintendent's
salaries were fixed at $1,200.

RIO JANEIRO, Jan. 1.-Rear Admiral
Roblcy D. Evans, commander of the Amer
ican fleet, took occasion today to express
ppreclatlon of the magnificent reception
accorded tha fleet by the Brazilian govern
mcnt and the Brazilian people. A serious
attack of rheumatism, from which lm suf
fered soon after leaving Port of Spain and
which has persistently troubled him ever
since, has prevented his enjoyment of the
many receptions and entertainments or
ganised In honor of the visitors, but has
In nowise lessened his appreciation of tha
efforts of the nation to make the sojourn
here a pleasant and a memorable one.
The admiral Is now anxious to press on to
his destination. All the vessels are In ship
shape' and have taken on their supplies
awaiting only the signal from the flagship
to weigh anchor and begin the third wing
of the Journey to Magellan, a distance of
Z.60O miles or morePunta Arenas, on the
east coast of the Brunswick peninsula, the
most southerly town of any Importance of
the world, will be the next stop.
Admiral Evans said today that he did not
anticipate any difficulty lnthe passage of
the strait of Magellan by the fleet in
regular column formation. The so-called
dangers of the strait he does not consider
serious and he believes that tha fleet of
battleships under his command, with the
accompanying flotilla of torpedo boats, will
make the tortuous trip without a Jar.
Midshipman F. 11. Roberta, the executive
officer of the destroyer Hopkins, which
arrived here with the flotilla yesterday
was removed to the battleship Vermont
today suffering from a fractured leg. As
alstant Paymaster T. K. McMillan of the
Virginia has been transferred from tha
vessel to the Truxton.
Paymaster William II. Doherty of the
Missouri, whom Admiral Evans ordered
before a general court-martial for absence
from duty without leave, has been ac
quitted.
There waa great excitement among the
Jackles today over a race among the twelve
oared cutters of the battleships Minnesota
and Louisiana. The course was three miles
straightaway and the Minnesota crew Won
after a lively strufctle. The jackles bet
their money on their choice with great
enthusiasm and It Is said that nearly $12,000
changed hands as a result if the victory o
the Minnesota's men. The winners will
race against a crew from the Illinois to
morrow over the same course.

The cable used to haul the cage from
the third compartment of the shaft snapped
and thousands of tons of rocks, debris and
timbers fell down Into the shaft. From
the bottom of the 'compartment In which
the men were working to the pumping sta

of rickety ladders offered the only means
of escape.
With falling rocks'' and timbers streaming
down upon them the five men struggled
up these ladders. . Hulf way up falling

Here for the first day after the cave-In
the men crouched, while at Intervals they

At first It was thought that all the men

FROG OLDER THAN BUTTE'S
ant postmaster general and later received
from him the following letter:
"Referring to youV recent personal call
at this office, I beg to enclose herewith a
copy of a pamphlet containing a compila
tion of the 'Postal Laws and Regulations
Pertaining to the Second Class of Mall
Matter.' The amendment referred to Is
embodied in paragraph 3, section 436, on
page 10.
"Publishers are probably unduly appre
hensive as to the effect the new regula
tions of the Postofflce department govern
ing expired subscriptions will hsve on the
ordinary newspaper. "It is not the purpose
of the department to in any way embarrass
the business of legitimate publishers, but,
on the contrary, to be of material help to
all such. Its sole. aim Is to correct the
flagrant abuses of the second fleas mailing
privilege Which have arisen through the
Inclusion in alleged legitimate lists of sub
scribers of the names of persons whose
subscriptions have long expired, and the
mailing of excess numbers of Sample cop
ies based on such lists. This will be made
cles to you by a perusal of the enclosed
marked copy of an address delivered before
the national convention of Postmasters of
First Class Offices, held in EYle, Pa., In
August, last, relative to the 'Attitude of
the Postofflre Department Regarding Sec
ond Class Mail.'
Higher Hate for Drllaejnents.
"The new regulations do not provide
that copies of publications may not he
mailed to persons whose subscriptions are
not paid In advance and that where cople
are so sent the publication Is liable to be
debarred from the malls. Tou will see by
reading paragraph I of sVtlon 43$ that they
merely provide that expired subscriptions
which are not expressly renewed within a
certain limit after the time for which paid
'shall not be counted irt the legitimate
Hat of subscribers,' and that copies of the
pnibltcatlon aent In fulfillment thereof
may not be mailed at the pound rate of
postage, but are chargeable with the tran
sient second class rate 1 cunt for each
four ounces or fraction thereof, to be pre
paid by stamps affixed. This Is the rats

club has been Insisting that a great deal
of distribution work on the eastern divis

division. This tho department has refused
to do and will not remove any of the

helpers for the western division, thus In
creasing the total force, but not decreas

riea for Broken Bow Land Office.
Register John Reese of tho Broken Bow
land office, in a letter to Senator Brown
pointing out the reasons why the land of
fice there should not be discontinued, as
planned by the Department of the In
terior, says:
1. There are over 1,000.0"" acres of land
vacant and subject to homestead entry,
and over LSUi.tm) acres now entered as
homestead entrlus on which proof will be
made In due course of business within the
netx flvo years.
2. It Is more convenient for" the people
who bave made homestead entries, as at
least 90 per cent come from tho east, and
75 per cent make their applications In
person nt the land office.
8. It Is more convenient for those who
contest homestead entries and claimants
in contested cases. A large majority de
sire to have these cases tried in the land
office. There were 500 witnesses at cases
tried at Broken Bow during the first eleven
months of 1907.
4. It Will be more convenient for the large
number of homestead entrymen making
proof within the next three years, about
1,800 in all.
5. There Is a large amount of business
transacted at thla office as evidenced by
the records for tho first eleven months of
the last vear, as follows: 581 homestead
entries. 11 final proofs, 82 cash entries. 122
plats. 87 applications to purchase Isolated
tracts, now pending In the general land
office; 82 applications to amend home
stead . entries, 51 eaaes of United States
against homestead entries disposed of,
homestead applications and final proofs
rejected and other business which did not
appear In the report of the office; 4,077 let
ters written, besides a large number re
turned to writer with reply endorsed on
them.
6. The business of the office pays all ex
penses and a surplus to the government
of about $6,000 per year at t lie present time,
and this revenue will Increase very ma
terially in the near future.
7. Broken Bow can be reached at much
less expense than any other office adjacent
to the lands ln the district.
R. There never has been a time since the
Broken Bow land office was established,
except the year when the Klnkaid act be-
came a law, that this office has been In
greater demand by the public or more
greatly needed by them than now. as thero
are yet 1.000.0U) acres subject to entry and
thousands 'of entrymen getting ready to
make final proof. f

him, have been tent to that place for the
purpose of apprehending him. One of the
