BIBWIAL 'WEIGHING OF MAIL
Work at lulou Pacific Transfer
Beglna.
Tha blenulal weighing of tha mails to
determine tha compensation the govern
ment ahould pay the various railroads for
it i carriage-hai begun at the Union Pacific
transfer. Tha work la being done under
tha direction of Chief Transfer Clerk W. B.
Hlte.
A larger volume of mall la transferred
at thla point than at any other city west
of Chicago and ft will require a force of
tHrty-flve men to do the weighing, which
will last ICS days. All mall, day and night,
la weighed during thla period.
Soma Idea of tha magnitude of tha task
can be formed from the fact that over
eighty tons of mall matter went out on the
Union Pacific Thursday. Tha bulk of the
mall received at tha transfer cornea over
I the Northwestern. Burlington and Wabash.
I The Northwestern and tha Burlington have
the big transcontinental contracts, while

that this matter should be adjudicated. In

A Printing Cnse Decided.
Newspaper publishers of Taylor county
won a case in th supreme court today In
the matter of -publishing the complete
township vote at an election aa a part of
the official proceedings of th Board of
Supervisors Instead of merely tha totals for
tha county aa la often done to aave money.
The court holds to th view that publicity
Is th main thing and the only way to have
publicity In thls matter la to have th en
tire .vote printed. As to tha charges for,,
the same,- the' court holds that the code
flxei them and they cannot be changed by -.
th court or board.
Township Cannot Employ Attorneys.
The supreme court held In a case from
Mahaska County that tha township trustees
have no right to employ an attorney and
pay him out of public funds. In this cas
J. F. Lacy and J. C. Williams were paid
aa lawyers In a drainage case. A taxpayer
brought suit to compel the trustees to pay
baek the money. The court holds that th
payment was clearly Illegal, aa there ta n
provision In law for the trustees to pay
fees or costs In any lawsuit. The amount
Involved la small.
Ask for Newspaper Fairness.

th Stat Board of Education have written
a letter' ta newspaper In eastern low a

Itfatlon of matter relating to the slate
