With Informal ceremony In the mailing

Tuesday evening Postmaster Lew Utter of
South Omaha transferred his keys of of
fice to Postmaster John C. Wharton of
Omaha, and the consolidation of the two
postofflces waa In effect. By tho transfer
South Omaha becomes n part, of the
Omaha postofflce department, and Post
master Lew Etlcr becomes superintendent
of the South Omaha office, over which
e has presided as postmaster and ass
istant postmaster for the last twelve
years. Present at the transfer were tho
officials of the Omnha postofflce and
those of South Omaha, together with a
largo number of the solid business men
of South Omaha.
Postmaster John C. Wharton of Omaha
arrived a little after 4 o'clock. Preceding
him were his assistant, J. It. Woodward,
W. J. Mettten, superintendent of malls at
Omaha, and Charles F. Wllley, superin
tendent of the money order division at
Omaha. Postmaster Wharton was re
ceived by Postmaster Lew Etter and his
assistant, Charles Miller, together with
the attaches and office force of tho
South Omaha office.
Among those present wero George Mc-

were presented to Postmaster Wharton
who placed them In a vase on the desk In
the postmaster's office. I To said the roses

wedding of the two cities.
Kttrr's Vnledlctorj .
Surrounded by his clerks and carriers,
'ostmoMcr Etter, standing side by sldo
with the now postmaster, addressed tho
gathering. Ho said It had seemed fit to
the. postal authorities to unite the two
offices. Ills duty was to turn the office
over to Postmaster Wharton. In doing:
so he took occasion to rccnll that In all
the twelve years of his service he had
never had a word or difference with his
subordinates, whom ho commended in the
highest terms to tho new postmaster.
PostVnaster letter Raid he loved 'every
man .In his office and felt grateful to
them for their loyalty and devotion. Ho
expressed his thanks to tho people of
South Omaha and promised that, as In
tho past, his efforts would be bent toward
ho said had been the sole controlling
reason that moved tho department, to
order the merger. He then turned the
keya of tho office over to the new post
master. rostmaster Wharton, wtioso democratic
manner with his subordinates had nlready
won their attention, eliminated all qUcs
ttons of politics from his speech. He
enlarged on tho benefit that has coma to
South Omaha by reason of tho merger.
His speech In full follows:
At tho close of tho year 1D12 we stand
upon mo tnresnoid or a great event in
the life, smrvlco and of flcleney of tho
postal department of Omaha and South
Omaha. Wc' aro now about to blend our
heretofore separate and Individual postal
offorts Into ono combined and concen

Pleiian hour In mind that by tho union
and consolidation of theso two offices we
aro taking nothing from you. You will
attll havo the same woratng force in
numbers, and more If wo can obtain
them, that you havo heretofore had. The
genial and pleasant Mr. Etter, Mr. Mil

connected with tha South Omaha postof

This Is not all that we bring to you;
but with our prestige and Influence wo

iir Assistant Postmaster James L

or mails, together with tha combined
wisdom, experience and ability or tho

office, known as the postmaster'H cabinet,
which combined with tho present exceu
tlvo personnel of the Houth Omaha post
offtce. together with tho experience and
cinergy which has dominated and con
trolled this office up to the present time
ought to produce greater results and bet
ter advantages to the citizens and patrons
of the South Omaha postofflce.
Strength til Union,
We are told that In union there Is
strength and we have demonstrated the
truth of the axiom so frequently that It
has become a self .evident proposition.
Man's greatest strength and usefulness Is
only achieved after he has successfully
wooed and won the heart and hand of
one of Clod's nobleat creatures, a charm
ing woman, as a helpmate In Hfo and by
the union or the two, the home la estab
lished and another bulwark ror govern
dental defense Is erected and man then
rises to the dignity of his strength and
manhood. And so by the wooing and
winning of tho South Omaha bridal post
office we expect to rise to the strength
and dlanltv of a greater postofflce. whloh
will row It lu better advantages, both to
i l)0 brirt
tho bride nnd bridegroom, in reducing
tho cost of handling the mall, lu the
efficiency ot Its operation. In the ex
cellence of Jts service, and In tne peculiar
accommodation It affords the people for
a moro speedy and rapid delivery of the
mall. Trusting that our future relations
may bo pleasant and most agreeable and
that universal harmony and co-operation
may exist between. employes and. heads of
department of what has hitherto been
the two offices, now merged Into oneV arid
wishing you all a happy and prosperous
New Year, and that God will bless and
keep you all, I now bid you good after
noon. Approvnl In Ijrnrrnl.
Approval of the merger Is more than
general now. Some who were ready to
sacrifice, themselves a few weeks ago In
tho Interests of the people havo seen a
great light and are now making the
"amende honorable'' to everybody con
cerned with a stlght reservation as to tho
happy coming of the new regime.
Tho general Impression ecems to be that
the order will stand and that tho demo
cratic trglmo Is not going to play battle
dore and shuttlecock with the postofflce
department. Of those who appear to
have seen tho light tho following taken
from J. M. Tanner's paper yesterday
speaks for Itself and the business men of
the town who wero said to bo opposed to
the merger; ,
This Is the last day South Omaha will
have a nostmnster. for a time at least.
Tho republicans saw fit to Issue an order
recently making this a branch office, and
mo order win bo put into effect Janu
ary 1.
At first It was thoiiEht that this order
was brought about upon tho recommenda
tion of Omaha without consulting1 any of
tho local patrons of the office. But later
developments Indicate that the whole
uffalr wan threshed out by at leait some
of tho heaviest patrons of the office down
here, and their O. K. wan put on tho pro
ject. If thlrt bn true then the authori
ties at Washlngtou cannot be Justly
Jacked-up. If the biggest customers of
the local postofflce petitioned for the
merger and It waa granted by the postt
master general, that official ought not
to bo criticised.

GOVERNMENTJAS BALANCE
First Half of Fiscal Year Shows
Two Million Surplus.
REVENUE RECEIPTS INCREASE
WorUlna Balance nf Treasury,
Wlitcu. la Actual Cash In Uncle
.tatn'a Pocketbnok, Anionnts
to KIshtr-r.lKht Millions.
WASHINGTON, , Jan. l.-Uncle Sam
closed his accounts for the year 1912 with
plenty of money In his pockets and n
balance sheet of receipts and expendi
tures that beepoko tho prosperity of the
nation.
For the first half of the current fiscal
year ending today disbursements exceeded
receipts by between 12,000,000 and J3.000.000,
according to estimates of treasury offi
cials, the exact figure for December not
being available. Tho deficit a year ago
was over ja.KW.OOO.
This Improvement over last year fs due
to the remarkable Increase In customs
and Internal revenue receipts during the
last six months. Receipts from all
sources from July to December were ap
proximately J353.000.000, or more than J23,
000,000 greater than during the correspond
ing period of 1911.
The aggrcgato expenditures for the six
months ending today were about J356.000,
000. This was nearly J5.000.000 greater
than for tho samo period last year, the
Increase being due mainly to. large ex
penditures for tho army and the Increased
pension payments as n result of tho pen
sion legislation of the last congress.
The general fund of tho government to
day contained upwarda of J140.000.000,
whllo a year ago It held only J126.926.000.
Tho working balance of tho treasury,
which Is tho actual cash In Undo Sam's
pockctbook, today amounted to about
JS8.000JOOO. The year 1911 closed with a
working balance of J71.476.000.
The treasury holds nbout Jl, 253.661.000 In
gold. This Includes J1CO,000,000 In tho re
serve fund, the greater part of tho re
mainder being represented by gold cer
tificates in circulation.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1. The year 1912
In tho financial district waa far from
satisfactory. In tho stock market lower
prices and restricted business wore the
most adverso features. Of the various
commodity markets the cotton exchange
almost alone had an active, and profitable
year. Tho enormous crop of cotton waa
In Itself a preventive of such disastrous
and spectacular markets as were wit
nessed In tho "booms" of recent years.
Tho dullness In tho stock market found
partial reflection In tho operations of
local hanks and trust companies, but all
theso Institutions aro believed to bo In
better condition than at any tlmo since
tlvo end of 1907, and many havo added
handsomely to their resources nnd surplus
nccounts. Banking honsoe, especially
those with International connections, have
felt the effect of the world-wide harden
ing of money, tho congestion of the se
curity markets hero and In Europe, and
1 utterly tho dralu caused by the Balkan
war.
Refunding operations nnd maturing obli
gations of a miscellaneous character
threaten to press hard on tho domcstlo
money market during tho next fow
months, quite apart from any freah
financing. Actual loans of clearing house
banks last week exceeded deposits more
than J17D,000,COO, and this is. Indicative of
conditions at many Important reserve
centers. Kor this reason, It Is pointed
out, tho money situation is being regarded
with Increasing solicitude, and must nec
essarily bo tho most accurato barometer
affecting all home projects for some time
to come.
