reached the conclusion to cut off the
salary of the clerk who assisted Min

neither rendering service to the gov

There was a suggestion in the ' de
partment today that when the end of
the post office year is reached March
31, 1D04. a way may be found to con
tinue Minnie on the rolls by establish
ing a post office near Indlanola and
putting her In charge. It is not con
sidered likely, however, that the post
master will be willing to settle in the
Indlanola district, every Inducement
having already been held out to her
to return to the Indlanola office and
resume work.
Since the office has been shut up by
the president the people of the town
have organized a special mail service
from a neighboring post office, suffer

Rome, July 25. After obsequies con

Among the funerals of great men, in

the statements that Mr. Rand and Mr.

the last session, a"nd that Mr. Hedges

opinion In the post office department
that Mr. Rand will not be touched.
It may be said that the foundation
for this belief Is in the action taken
by Postmaster General Payne In the
cr.se of Mr. Ilcdres. Before leaving
here the postmaster general gave In
structions that the case against Mr.
Hedges should be referred to him for
final action. When It did come back
to the department It was found that
Mr. Payne had ordered tho dismissal
of Mr. Hdgrs on minor charges affect

Ignored the accusations that he bad
used his Influence In Congress in favor
of a war claim. It is pointed out,
therefore, that failure to connect Mr.
Hedges with the claim also clears Mr.
Hand, and It Is freely remarked In
the post office department that Mr.
Rand will return to his desk In the
department nnd continue In the service
of the government.
There have been no new develop

from the district rupreme court are
that Indictments against some minor
officials may be expected Monday.

Solemnity there was none among the

Soon after 6 o'clock Cardinal Oreg
