Tells of Valne of the SerTlce
A amber of Other Inter
estlns Addressee.
A pleasing and at the aame time unex
pected feature of the entertainment of the
officer of the National Rural Letter Car
riers' association and delegate to the con
vention now In progress In Omaha, at the
Grand hotel laat evening by the Iowa state
association waa the preeenoe of Governor
Sheldon of Nebraska, who waa accorded a
most hearty reception both upon his arrival
at the meeting and when he aroee to make
an address.
Governor Sheldon was Introduced by Na-'
tlonaj President Llnsay, who hails from the
state of Georgia, After expressing . his
gratification at being present and meeting
such a large number of representatives of
what the governor termed one of the great
est branches of the postal system. Governor
Sheldon spoke briefly on the Improvement
of the country roads which, he declared,
would. In his opinion, be brought about
through the efforts of the rural . letter
carriers and their organisations.
Tho Improvement of the rural roads, he
said, was a question In which all were in
terested, and while It had been a long time
coming, he believed that it would not be
long before good in place of bad roads
would be the general rule throughout the
country districts.
The benefits from the rural free delivery,
he said, were Incalcuble. The benefit from
an educational point of view was almost as
great aa the public, schools, as through It
the dweller on the farm remote from the
cities was enabled to have delivered at his
door daily the newspapers, magaxlnes and
other aources of Information of the world's
doings. He reviewed briefly the great de
velopment of the rural free delivery system
from the star mall route, and while it
might bo that the rural free delivery de
partment showed a deficit at the end of the
fiscal year, it had paid for itself over and
over again in great benefits to the people
which it waa designed to serve. "It may
not pay In dollars and cents, but It pays
many times over In the Inestimable bene
fits to the people of our rural communi
ties," declared the governor In closing.
Attendance la Large,
There was a large attendance, the big
ball room of the Grand hotel being taxed
to Its capacity snd many had to atand In
the hallway. C. M. Adnms of Davenport
president of the state association, presided
and Introduced the speakers with brief but
pointed remarks which showed he was the
man In the right place. Mayor Maloney,
extended a welcome on behalf of the city
and B. B. Chllds of Nevada, secretary of
the state association, responded.
Postmaster Haxelton of this city on be
half of the Pottawattamie County associa
tion, presented President Adams for the
state association with a gavel, accompany
ing the presentation with a stvert address i
In which he paid a tribute to the rural
mall carriers.
Other' addresses during the evening were
made by Superintendent Pplllman of the
rufal mall delivery department; Special
Agent Thompson, National President Lln
say, W. H. James, president of the county
association; Inspector Funkhouser of Indi
ana, V. E. Bonder, Henry Sperling and C.
R. Long of the tallway mall scrlvce. The
latter spoke on the benefits of organisation
ar.d the Inadequacy of the pay received by
the rural carriers. "Wo are getting the
business men Interested," said Mr. Long,
"and I advise you to do the same. Bring
them in touch with your needs and through

know the congressmen are somewhat hard

choice new merchandise, and our ability
to save you money on what you buy.
The strenuous activity of our buyers
during the last summer to secure the best
goods for the money and the newest up-to.

quantity of dry goods, cloaks, skirts,
ladies' suits, millinery, etc, dally pouring
in upon us.
Thp last two weeks has seen dry goods
come to Hunter's by the carload, large
quantities of them direct from the mills,
and the values we have for your consider
ation in every department are second to
no store in America. That statement Is
an absolute fact, even though It sounds
"big." We are fully aware we do not oc
cupy as much floor space as some of the

We know that it means dollars saved to
you and It means more business for us.

Voting Machines No Good,
Secretary of State . C. Hnywatd today
informed the county numwr of Polk
county that the new voting machines which
j it was expected to use this year cannot be
I iued. The city and county together have
l fBtert something like 15,(00 in the ma-
e, s. One of the reasons given by tho
.ctary of state is that the machines
provide for but forty candidates, while in
I most of the precincts of Polk county there
will be forty-five or m ire candidates. He
further questions whether the machine is
in accordance with law, because It Is neces
sary fdor the voter to vote a straight
ticket first and then do the scratching by
changing the levers afterward. He has
promised to ask the attorney general for a
further opinion, but has Instructed Auditor
Burnett to have ballots printed as formerly.
