BURLESON PLANS BIG P. O. SHAKEUP

Removal of Thousands of Republicans is Expected Very Soon if Plans Are Carried Out.

Washington, D. C., May B.—Postmaster General Burleson, acting with the approval of President Wilson, has ordered ’the biggest shakeup of the postal service that institution has experienced in many years. The moves made in the direction of reorganization are:

Postmasters who have aroused dissatisfaction with the service fur.nished their communities will be removed before the expiration® of their terms and replaced by democrats. Postoffice inspectors have been ordered to report all complaints to Washington. All fourth class postmasters appointed without a merit test will be required to submit to an examination of their fitness for retention. Eventually second and third class postmasters will be subjected to a similar test. As a result of the first move the administration of every first, second, and third class postmasters in the country will be investigated. The scope of the order has astonished republican members of com gress who have begun to hear from the postmasters affected. It appears that the chief postofflce inspector issued secret instructions, known as circular order No. 117, in which posoffice inspectors are commanded to “search diligently” in every community for complaints of the service furnished by the postmaster and to report the findings to headquarters forthwith. The inspectors are now at work in Illinois and letters describing their operations are pouring in upon Senator Sherman and the republican and progressive members of the house from that state. The republicans charge that the move is merely preliminary to a replace ment of republican with democratic postmasters wherever the shadow of an excuse for removal of incumbents can be found. General Burleson says that republican postmasters will serve out their terms “unless removed for cause.”

The order affecting fourth class postmasters was signed by the President Wednesday. As a result of the Roosevelt and Taft orders 49,682 fourth class offices were placed under civil service, but only new appointees are required to undergo tests of fitness. About 11,000 under the Roosevelt and 1,000 under the Taft order have been appointed after civil service tests. The Wilson order subjects the remaining 37,600 postmasters in that class to the test. The number of fourth class offices in Illinois and adjoining states follows: Illinois -t, ;. vr.v.~. ............1,325 Indiana 947 lowa 955 Michigan 1,090 Wisconsin 896 Those postmasters receiving SIBO or more a year will be required to take a civil service examination, while those under that limit will be selected by inspectors.

HIGH SCHOOL FOR TWO TOWNSHIPS

Law Requires Superintendent to Build in Union and Barkley— Both Four-Room Buildings.

Unless something unforseen happens two township high school buildings will be erected in Jasper county this summer, one in Union and one in Barkley. The law passed by the last general assembly gives the superintendent, trustee or patron no option in the matter. It says that in each township where the taxable property has an assessed valuation exceeding $600,000, where there have been eight township graduates each year for the past two years, where there is no township high school and no high school within three miles of the boundary line of the township, the township trustee shall establish and maintain therein a high school and employ competent teachers ' therefore.

In any township where there is property • assessed at $600,000 or more, and where there have been for each of the two years last past eight or more township graduates, a high school may bp established by a petition signed by a majority of the school patrons. The former section applies in Barkley and Union and the school authorities are already planning for the construction. The trustee has the right to fix the location, but the patrons can appeal from his decision to the county superintendent. There is already quite a lively contest in Union township, especially between the towns of Fair Oaks and Parr. Trustee Kight lives at Fair Oaks and will probably personally favor that place and it is said a petition circulated by Frank Goff, asking that the school house be built in that town has been signed by a majority of the patrons. In case an appel is taken to County Superintendent Lamson, he plans to try to determine the wishes of the majority in the matter and act accordingly. The buildings will probably be brick 4-room structures and built in accordance with the modern requirements in every manner. The schools will doubtless considerably affect the attendance from these townships in the Rensselaer high school.

Mr. and Mrs. E. Jensen came from Wheatfield this morning to visit their son! Jens, and family and their daughter, Mrs. J. P. Hammond. Averring that his heart had been broken and that he can never recover from the humiliation which has come to him, John H. Fort, of Laporte, Wednesday began action against Mrs. Bowers Williams for $35,850 damages, charging breach of promise. z Z zz Chicago faces a strike of 10,000 garment workers following the organization of unions in nineteen small tailorshops. The first step came Wednesday when 400 tailors employed by M. L. Oberndorf & Co., struck for shorter hours and higher wages. Mrs. Helen Longstreet, widow of the famous confederate general, Wednesday lost her fight for reappointment as postmistress of Gainesville, Ga. Mrs. H. W. J. Ham was nominated to the office after President Wilson had consulted the Georgia senators. Ed Brownell, of Lowell, an agent for the Haynes automobiles, has interested a number locally in that car and this afternoon Granville Moody, E. J. Randle and Dr. C. E. Johnson accompanied the agent to Kokomo by auto, there to further investigate the machines. Otto Chasteen, who has been working for the H. E. Rosebaugh dredge company at Elbertield, Ind., arrived at his former home at Medaryville for a visit of about a month, after which he will return to Elberfleld. He was in Rensselaer today, accompanying John Ryan here in the latter’s auto. E. W. Allen came down from Wheatfield Friday and returned there this morning.

Except for the filing of a demurrer by the defendant in 1891, no other steps had ever been taken by the parties to the case.

Better Order Cemetery Work Done Without Delay.

If you want work done at the cemetery now is the time to arrange for it. The work is more easily done in the spring, the grass gets a better start and it is. impossible to give the best attention to details when the orders are rushed in just before Memorial Day.

Weston Cemetery Association, J. H. Holden, Sexton.

T. G. Wynegar, the Oliver plow salesman who makes his residence in Rensselaet, reports that the water is fast receding from the Williams land near Shelby and that conditions for farming along the marsh are the best they have been for several years. The Williams dike broke through, it will be remembered, during the high water and overflowed, but the dike ditch has carried almost all the water out and already part of the land is being plowed preparatory to planting. Gang plows are finding great favor with the extensive farmers in that section. Mr. Wynegar says that with the lowering and straightening of the channel of the Kankakee the land will be a real garden 1 spot.

If reductions in wages of workingmen follow the enactment of the democratic tariff bill, the investigating powers of the department of commerce and labor will be called in to establish whether they are of a bona fide nature. Secretary Redfield Monday declared that was his purpose. Sustaining the contempt charges against the American Federation of Labor leaders, the district court of appeals at Washington, D. C., Monday afternoon held that President Gompers should serve thirty days in jail and that Vice-President John Mitchell and Secretary Frank Morrisdn should pay SSOO fines. Maj. Robert Wilson McClaughry, for the last fourteen years warden of the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kans., and one of the best known criminologists in the United States, forwarded his resignation to the department of justice Monday. In making known this fact the warden, who is 74 years old, said he thought he “had been on the job long enough.”

A contract was let Monday by the Canadian Pacific railway to the firm of Foley, Welch & Stewart, of St. Paul, Minn., for the construction of the Rogers pass double track tunnel through the Rocky mountains. This company will also build seven miles of double track approaches on each side of the tunnel, making a total of twenty miles of double track, including five miles of tunnel. t '■ The Fall River Iron works at Fall River, Mass., Monday posted notices stating that the seven mills of the plant will be closed for an indefinite period next Saturday. No reason for the shutejown was given. The corporation, which is owned by the American Printing company, operates 500,000 spindles in the manufacture of cotton cloth to supply the print works. It employs 5,000 hands. Um our Classified Column.
