THE OMAHA BEE
Less than a penny
" svnd better than any.
An eight-ton stone column crashed
throuBh two stories of the north end of
the west wing of the new high school
building, now tn course of construction
and caused damages to the extent ot
about Xf yesterday morning. Singularly
none of the workmen was Injured, though
about eight of them were dangerously
near.
The accident was caused by the col
lapse of a derrick which had been rigged
on the second story wing. The maxslve
column, twenty feet, and eight Invhes
long and two feet In diameter, was be
ing hoisted. It was suspended about forty
feet above the ground and was being
swung to a position avove the half com
pleted structure, when the boBm of the
derrick buckled.
With a thunderous crash the column
shot downward to the ground floor. Its
tremendous weight demolishing the ma
t-onry. Only an estimate of the dam
age can be made at this time, but Thomas
Stafford, superintendent of masonry,
thinks the loss will be about $8,000. The
building is being erected by John H.
Harte, on whom the loe will fall.
. Masons Have arrow Karaite.
About twenty brick masons were work
ing on the second floor of the building,
directly under the boom of the derrick
when It began slowly to twist nnd
crumple. A shout from one of the work
men caused several others to look up and
Jump to one ride ae the heavy mass of
Iron buckled and swung around, then,
with a sudden snapping, It fell between
the parting of workmen. Charles Mack,
FYed Webber and XV. H. Young were the
closest and missed being struck by about
two Inches.
The damage done amounts to the break
ing In two of part of the eight-ton atone
column and the wrecking of considerable
temporary flooring. A "cap' made of
stone and weighing avout two tons was
knocked off the northwest corner of the
west entrance by the swinging boom and
waa demolished. In falling the boom
smashed against the side of the building
and shattered several pieces of stone til
ing which had already been placed.

Rent is Increased
In conformity with the postal regula
tion which says that lock box rent shall

Postmaster Thomas has Issued the notice
that beginning' January 1 boxes formerly
renting for 11.60 will cost 2. Boxes rent
ing for 3 will be Increased to 14 and 14
boxes will cost $5.
The old rates were In effect as long aa
the Omaha postorrice did a business less
than $1,000,000, but now the postofflce has
grown so that the business ' handled
amounts to between 11,000,000 and H5.000.000,
and the Increase must go into effect Mr.
Thomas says that when he prepares his
yearly report he believes that the figures
will show that almost twice as much
business was handled In 1911. as in 1910.

Christmas Shoppers!
To those shoppers who have not already
finished their Christmas shopping for this year,
we want to say that shopping during the early
hours of the day has many advantages. There is
less crowding on both the street cars and in the
stores, and both you and the sales people are
not as tired as later in the day. And when
shopping in the afternoon, we urge you to
start for home before 5 o'clock, if possible,
making it possible for those compelled to re
main down town later to find room in the cars.
