To Receive $720. ~ All the rural mail carriers out of Decatur as well as out of the county will receive the maximum salary, $720. Representative Overstreet of Indianapolis, chairman I of the congressional committee on j post roads, has prevailed on the : postoffioe department to revoke the i order issued several weeks, ago j grading the slaries of rural letter | carriers, and to issue a new order under which the rural carriers will receive the pay congress understood they were to receive when it passed the postoffioe supply bill last spring. The Indianapolis congresman went to Washington last Saturday and took up the subject with the president and J. L Bristow, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, who has charge of the rural delivery service. Speaker Cannon accompanied Overstreet and the two pointed out that an injustice had unintentionally been done the rural carriers of the country by the order under which it was impossible for cites covering twentyfour miles to receive the maximum salary of $720 a year. It was clearly the intent of the postoffice committee and of congress, both Overstreet and the speaker said, that carriers who were receiving the maximum salary of suoo at the time the new Jaw was passed should receive the new miximum of $720, fixed by this years appropriation bill. Both the president and the Assistant Postmaster-General Bristow saw that the original order was in controvention of the appropriation bill and it was agreed, after Overstreet had explained the situation that the new order should be issued without delay. The order was issued yesterday by Assistant Postmaster-General Bristow. The formal announcement given out , at the department is as in the ad-1 justment of the salaries of rural I carriers in the postal service it has | been decided that all the carriers ! appointed prior to June 30 1904, who were entitled to the maximum I pay of S6OO under the rules which I governed the establishment of | routes at that time shall receive) the maximum piy of $720 butl that the schudule whch became effective July 1 1904’ and recently) announced, shall prevail in fixing the compensation of all carriers appointed since June 3. Visited Stone Plant A representative of this office Friday accepted an invitation* to visit the immense stone plant at' Ridge villa and found an institution which will no doubt m ike that little city famous. The plant is owned by Armfield & Cartwright, Port! md, was opened six weeks ago at an investment cost of s3o'ooo. The company own forty acres of land which is a Compact bed of blue lime-stone, begining at the surface and already a test depth of twenty feet has been made without re aching the bottom. They are working seventy-five men and could use as many more. JThe crushers used are the latest md certainly do the work well, turning out six different sizes of crushed stone raging from screenings to pieces three inches square. A 280-horse power engine provides the power and twenty cars of stone are loaded and shipped each day. As soon as possible an immense steam shovel is to be used, which will more than trippie

! the output each day. It is also said that the company next year will put in a lime plant that will cost $50,000. The institution is certainly a great thing for Ridgeville and a money maker for the | owners. Calvin Miller of this ) county is at present receiving a large amount of stone from this company, having contracted with them for ! enough to build five miles of roads. . The company already has more orders than they can till in months, md as the stone is of excellent quality, will always have a market. Oar represetative was shown over the plant by Manager Levy and Superintendent Nichols both of whom are real gentlemen, courteous, hospitable and thoroughly business like. Resolution. We are deeply moved and our hearts are stirred with grief by the intelligence of the death »f George W. Bergman, a practicing attorney of Jay county, Indiana. He came to us and was admitted to the bar cf Adams county as a practicing attorney and it was in the discharge of his duties as an attorney at law that we learned to love and chiefly know him. As a citizen was friendly and congenial and by his kindly disposition drew to himself a great number of Joyal friends. As an attorney he was always true to the trusts confided in him by hts clients, a close student, he prepared his cases well and was ready to meet all emergencies that might arise in the trial of his cause. It is written that it is appointed unto all men once to die, and looking out upon the current that we see sweeping along down the path way of time into the valley of death of a ceaseless throng of our [ fellows that perpetually remind us ■of the mortality of man. Be it i therefore ■ Resolved, That in the death of I our co-worker 'and fellow citizen > the Jay and Adam county bar have j lost one of thier most active and I worthy members. ! The family of the deceased a j kind father and a true and loving I husband. The community at large | an ‘honest, upright and just man. Be it further Reolved that a page of the order book o' th? Adams Circuit court be dedicated for the rec rd of the resolution in memory of our united appreciation of the friendship, persona] integity and marked legal ability of our deceased brother and that a copy of the resolutions be furnished the family of the deceased brother and to the city papers of Portland.

The Standard Oil company Fridischarged seventeen of their twenty-six pumpers employed in the Jackson township district because they refused to work on Sunday in compliance with a recent order to that effect.

He found seventeen idle J and they were discharged.—Berne News.

Uncle John Rupright spent Saturday at the county infirmary, and like everyone who spends a few hours there, he was extravagant in his praises of the manner and methods of managemetn. A system is in practice that can not be duplicated for perfection, and then everything is so cleanly and orderly. Uncle John claimed that the English language failed him, whenever he attempts to do justice to the management of such an institution. Superintendent Graber and wife are certainly in high favor with every citizen of Adams county, and they deserve it all. DO IT TODAY.
