RURAL DELIVERY GROWTH.
Its Remarkable Expansion Almost Beyond Belief—The Success of the Plan.
Indianapolis Journal: A. \V. Machen. general superintendent of the free delivery service of the postoilice department. was in the city yesterday arranging for more commodious quarters for the headquarters of the middle division of the rural free delivery service, of which F. M. Dice is the special agent in charge. Four rooms were secured in the Majestic building for the headquarters. Tho middle division comprises the states of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri and Kentucky. There are twelve agents in the field who report to Mr. Dice.
Indiana is the pioneer among states in rural free delivery service, and its members in congress are among tho strongest advocates of the service," said Mr. Machen yesterday. "By October 15 the government will establish in Delaware county, at the special request of Representative Cromer, what is known as free county service, covering the entire county. Grant county will be the next to have this service, and Marion county will soon be covered, as I have arranged to-day with Representative Overstreet for the new routes. "The rural free delivery service will solve the problem of good roads, as efficient rural service cannot be performed over poor roads. The department has recently made investigations to ascertain the condition of all roads covered by rural delivery which require repairs, and local road superintendents are being notified that a lack of attention to these roads, if continued, will endanger the permanency of the rural service. The department is receiving assurances that all the roads will be repaired before the winter weather sets in. "There has been no feature introduced in the postal service which has proven more satisfactory than rural free delivery. The other features of the postal service are, of course, great conveniences, but to take advantage of them or to use them the people must go to the postoffice. Rural free delivery dilTers from these in that it goes to the people and carries with it all other facilities of the postal service for the rural carrier, besides delivering and collecting ordinary mail, registers letters on the route, accepts money for money orders, sells stamps and stamp ed envelopes and, wherever possible, delivers the daily weather forecast. "The department is aiming to make this service as complete and accommodating as possible even to the extent of allowing the carriers to act as news agents and to perform various private commissions for patrons on the route.
The rapid growth of the rural delivery exceeds all previous records in the development of the postal service. Four years ago there were but forty three routes in operation. To-day there are almost 5,000 serving 3,(300,000 people in rural communities. At the close of this fiscal year there will probably be 8,500 carriers delivering mail to the doors of 750,000 farm families. "From the surprising manner in which the people take advantage of the facilities offered them by the rural service the department is convinced that the new branch of the service will soon be self sustaining. Too much credit cannot be given to Postmaster General Smith for the prompt manner in which he established and conducted the experiment, which within very brief period has proven so successful as to make the service no longer an experiment, but a permanent expanding feature of the postal department."
Mr. Machen's visit to Indianapolis and the opening of new headquarters for the middle division of the free rural service will end the talk that the head quarters might be removed from this city.
Death of Mrs. James McCoy.
Mrs. Laura E. McCoy, wife of James McCoy, died of consumption last Tuesday at 6 o'clock a. m., at the home. 613 south Green street. She had been a sufferer for several years and her death was not unexpected. She was forty-two years of age and leaves a husband and two sons. She was a woman highly esteemed by all who knew her. The funeral occurred on Thursday afternoon at half past two o'clock, interment at Oak Hill.

It Will Be Opened About October 1st, By Col. Weldon. of Portland.
Portland Commercial: Col. H. O. Weldon, for nearly eighteen years connected with the Merchants' hotel, is preparing to take his departure from Portland, and will, about October 1, opau the Ramsey at Crawfordsville, one of i.he most substantial hotels in the state of I ndiana.
Mr. Weldon has been packitig his household goods for several days, and early next week will see his departure, something which will be genuinely regretted hero. At the sama time the traveling public visiting tho city of Crawfordsville can have the knowledge that when they make that place they will find a hotel which will be up to the times in each and every particular, equipped with all modern conveniences, and in the hands of a gentleman who is familiar with every detail of running a hostelry from looking after the cuisine to welcomeing the guests from behind the office desk.
The Commercial has it that the Ramsey is a very line house, one fur above the average in all respects, and surely no better man could be found to take charge of it than Mr. Weldon.

THE RAMSEY HOTEL. CARRIE IS CRACKED.

A Pretty Home Wedding.
On Wednesday evening, Sept. 4, at the home of the bride's parents, three miles west of Mace, occurred the marriage of Miss Anna S. Galey to Mr. Herman A. Bratton. Promptly at seven o'clock Mrs. Rev. W. M. Elliott began the beautiful wedding march on the organ. To this music Rev. W. M. lilliott, followed by the bride leaning on the arm of the groom, came gently down the broad stairs. They passed to the east parlor and stopped before a beautiful decoration of green foliage, where in the presence of about sixtyfive relatives they were made husband and wife. The bride was handsomely attired in a gown of fine white lawn with elbow sleeves and with a train. She carried a shower boquet of bride's roses. The groom was in the usual black. After the ceremony the bride and groom led the way to the dining room where an elegant supper was served by Mrs. Myrtle Galey, Miss
Mabel Galey, Roy Galey and John Galey. After supper the bride and groom received the congratulations of their many friends. Many handsome and useful presents were received by the young couple, consisting of costly silver and China. Mrs. Bratton is the
daughter of Wm. Galey, and is a young lady of charming personality. Mr. Bratton is a successful young farmer, with a bright and glowing future before him. The best wishes of their many friends go with them. Mr. and Mrs. Bratton will be home to their friends at the home of the bride's parents until spring.
Thursday, Sept. 5, at their home Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bratton gave their son and' his bride a reception which was carried out to the expectation of all present. Dinner was served to seventy guests, with ice cream and sherbet for refreshments.
A COUSIN.
Pronounce It ••Slnllgosch."
Czolgosz, the name of the man who shot President McKinley, offers a lingual problem to nine-tenths of those who attempt to pronounco it. It is one of those names which the English alphabet cannot spell phonetically, and which the average English-speaking person stumbles iover in trying to express after hearing it spoken by a Russian, Written according to its sound, the name of Czolgosz, or its nearest equivalent, is "Tchollgosch," or more broadly speaking, "Shollgosch."
The former pronunciation is that one given by Sergeant Ter-lsaian, the Chicago detective, who is a Russian, and who is familiar with the varied dialects in Polish Russia, from whence the parents of Leon Czolgosz carne to this country. 'Cz" is represented in the Russian alphabet by a character which is pronounced much the same as though one were suppressing a sneeze—*tch." The next two letters—"ol"—are pronounced in combination as though written "oil," and the remaining letters of the name -"gosz"—may be given the sound of goscli."
Jewish New Year.
Rosh Hashona, of the Jewish church begins this evening with sundown. It is the celebration of the holiday season, which in the Jewish calendar begins with the now year, the first day of the month Tieri. There is no date in the Julian calendarj,which corresponds to the date of the Jewish New Year. Last year thei new year fell.on Sept. 24.

The Vituperative Old Bird Screeches That She is an Anarchist.
There are in Crawfordsville a few sappy individuals who have been maintaining all along that Carrie is a good thing. For the benefit of all such we reproduce, without comment, the following press dispatch from New York: "Mrs. Carrie Nation's anti-canteen zeal led her into an intemperate declaration against President McKinley at Steeplechase park, Coney Island, where she was lecturing last night. "The audience resented criticisms of the wounded executive, and all but visited personal violence on her. She was hisbed and jeered and her invective drowned with cheers for McKinley. Concluding the lecture she said: yQ 'Bill McKinley deserves to die. He is tho friend of tho brewer and the drinking man. I have no care for him. He deserves just what he got.' "Jeer?! and hisses interrupted the speaker. Indignant comments were, made all over tho house. Many arose and advanced toward the platform, with menacing gestures. Mrs. Nation's manager tried to persuade her to leave the stage, fearing violence. "Tho situation was relievnd by Julius
Harliarr, of Newark, who proposed three sheers for the President. Three ringing cheers and a tiger were given. Mrs. Nation was enraged and stood on the edge of the platform, shaking her fist at the people in front of her. As soon as she could make herself heard she screamed: 'You hell hounds! You snakes! You can jeer and hoot as you like.' "More jeers and hisses followed her outburst, and Mrs. Nation's manager hustled her off the stage. "To-day, in the Coney Island police court, Justice Furlong designated Mrs.
Nation as 'an Anarchist and^'a criminal.' "Carrie did not deny it. She had been arraigned on a charge of disorderly conduct, inasmuch as she smashed a cigar stand. "When Policeman Ryder tried to stop her sho fought him*andhad to be roughly handled before she was finally bundled into a patrol wagon and locked up. Carrie acted as her own lawyer, and admitted that she smashed the stand. She said everybody was drunk who had any hand in her arrest and that the air was'full of beer. "The proprietor of the stand said he did not want her punished, that perhaps she meant well, but £was a half crazy, misguided woman.. "Justice Furlong, afterftelling her that she was anl anarchist, found her guilty, but suspended sentence. 'If you raise any morejdisturbance here,' said the justice, 'I will place you where you will be harmless'(for a while.' "Carrie silently stole away."
Thompson Reunion.
The third annual Thompson reunion was held Thursday, Sept. 5 in the beautiful grove near the old Thompson homestead, about two hundred relatives being present. A literary and musical programme was rendered, which was excellent. The exercises opened with the singing of America, by the audience, Mrs. Pearl Layton at the organ. Especial mention should be made of Miss Bina Thompson's rendition of the tobacco subject. At the noon hour a sumptuous dinner was served on a table sixty-five feet in length, loaded with good things. After dinner the programme was resumed. Music was furnished by Mrs. Lizzie Hankins, Miss Grace Howard, Miss Mary Schenck and C. B. Wi'liams. Miss Schenck read a letter from her uncle Daniel Thompson, who was unable to be present. The letter was very affecting, and brought tears to many eyes. Many of the friends were absent on account of sickness. The Thompson reunion has became a permanent organization, and this one passes into history as tho most pleasant one yet held. The following officers were elected to serve the ensuing year: President, James Thompson secretary, Miss Clara Oliver, Mary Schenck, qommlttee on arrangement. The reunion will be held at the same place the first Thursday in September, 1902. A FRIKND.
The Hospital Bids.
The hospital committee met Monday evening and opened the bids for the construction of the proposed new building. There were two bids for the whole work and three bids for the plumbing. None was accepted. The plana will be somewhat altered and resubmitted. Only local bidders submitted propositions Monday but It is likely that outsiders will compete for the work next time.
Fir«t Cultivation of Potatoes.
The first potatoes were cultivated in the Andes, somewhere between San Diego, Chile, and Lima, Peru. Potatoes still grow wild in the mountain districts of South America.
W.lVnst Army of Pickpockets. -4
Some idea of the enormouB extent to which pocket-picktag flourishes maybe had from tho fact that in London alone over 100,000 men, womea and children exist on what they can relieve other pooplc of.
