NEVADA MARCH 18 1910 A DIRECTOR OF POSTS.

The time has come, says the March Review of Reviews. when the whole country will demand that the one great business department of the government should be run in a business-like way. Protracted studies by sional committees have pointed to this precise conclusion. It has been recommended that there should be director of posts, immediately answerable to the postmaster general. The reform scheme would abolish the four assistant postmasters general.

In place of these there would be a group of bureau heads, perhaps seven or eight in number, representing a scientific rearrangement of the business and forming a postal council of administration, working in constant touch with the director of posts. Until the postoffice can be made a thorough going business affair it will pot be feasible to make any changes in rates or classification. If, indeed, it could be put on a strict business basis there would be no need of advancing the cost to the people of the United States of any of the services that the postoffice now renders.

THE KANSAS CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET Correspondence to SOUTHWEST MAIL. KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS March was nothing the matter with the cattle market Monday, from the sellers standpoint, as all kinds sold at strong to 15 higher prices. The run of 8000 bead Tuesday was about equal to the demand, and most of the sales were on a steady to strong basis. Late in the day rumors of a tie up in the railroads, account of a threatened strike of the locomotive firemen begin to stir up some anxiety, and late sales were 10 to 15 higher. Prices Tuesday were the highest this year, and the highest on record for the month of March, full loads of steers at $7 85, and odd steers at $8, bulk of steers $6.50 to $7.60, and nothing under $6 25.

With bulk of the she stuff selling at $4.50 to $6 35 and top cows at $6.50, and top heifers at $7, killers search dili gently for the low priced steer to substitute, and take them away from country buyers ina good many cases. Bulls are worth $4.50 to $5.90, veal calves $7 to $9, stock calves $4.50 to $6, stock cows at $3.25 to $4.35, stock heifers up to $5.25. Extraordinary prices are being paid for feeders, as high as $6.60 this week, and $6.50 paid for a four car bunch of Colorades weighing 1073 lbs Monday. Medium class feeders sell at $5.60 to $6.10, stock steers at $4.40 to $6.

B. ROBINSON Sox. PROF. VAUGHN'S BODY MAY BE RE- EXHUMED Question of Disease of Spine Is What Most Replevining of Organs Termed Illegal by Attorney for State. PARIS, March 15.

-With the prediction freely made that the body of Prof. Vaughn, reinterred at Monroe City, February 4, may be exhumed a second time to determine the manner of his death, interest in the case has been revived at Paris, and friends of the contending families are against aligning themselves. Yesterday's coup at Columbia worked by the defense replevening the viscera of the dead man and hurrying them away to parts unknown, revived the excitement and criticism of Dr. Schweitzer for giving up the organs is not spared. An attorney for the state said tonight that the viscera were still technically the property of Coroner Wilson of Monroe county and that the replevin suit should have been brought against him and not Dr.

was only the Coroner's agent and without power of Schweitzer, who any kind to dispose of the organs committed to his keeping. "It was illegal from start to finish," he said, "and only makes a bad matter worse for the defense. They insisted on a pathological examination, maintaining that the kidneys were diseased, and the results showing this untrue, even according to their own experts, they now replevin the organs as property of the widow and spirit them away. "No one seriously believes a chemical examination will be made and even if it is nothing will result. The coup was worked too late.

Dr. Schweitzer has eliminated the poison. The contention that the brain and spine were diseased, set up since they got possession of the viscera, is also void, as the brain has received a close patholegical examination and showed no signs of disease." It is on the latter contention that the prediction is made here that the body at Monroe City may be exhumed to get the spine and determine whether or not it was affected as claimed. Both sides may make an effort to exhume the body and in such an emergency exciting things may be expected. "INSURGENTS" TURN CANNON DOWN AGAIN Second Defeat Sustained by Speaker Is More Decisive Than the First.

WASHINGTON, March 16-Although the republican organization of the house took radical measures today to insure against repitition of yesserday's defeat at the hands of the democratic-insurgent republican combination over the question of maintenance of an automobile for the speaker, the allies scored another victory over the regulars even more decisive than that of yesterday. On an appeal from a decision by Speaker Cannon in the matter of precedence for a joint resolution, the house voted against the speaker 163 to 111. In addition to the full democratic vote and the thirty insurgents who have stood out against the speaker, a dozen other republicans heretofore regular, voted to turn down the ruling of the chair. The campaign for office in Vernon county opens today, at least to the extent of placing men before the people for nomination by the democracy. B.

F. Chatman announces for the nomination by the democrats of Vernon county forCounty Recorder. Mr. Chatman is a well known Democrat and has spent some of the few years of his life in the service of the party, and when formerly a candi-32 date he was defeated by only a small margin. This time he hopes with the help of his friends to be successful and only asks for one term.

He is thoroughly competent and if the people elect him he will certainly prove efficient. CITY MAY HAVE TO VOTE BONDS The Northwest Main Sewer Should Be Extended to the River. Now Empties on City Forty Acres and Refuse Is Objectionable -Damage Suits Contemplated, The City of Nevada is once again facing a serious proposition, one for which Mayor Ingram and the City Council have tried hard to find a solution. The matter has been considered for some time, and it now seems that the only solution is a bond issue of $12,000. The city is in a position where it will be 1 necessary to extend the northwest main sewer to the river or face damage suits.

Both, of course, mean the expenditure of money, but the extension of the sewer will not only be the cheaper course to pursue but will settle the matter for all time. Damage suits in this, and in every other city of any importance, have been found to be very expen sive, but they never cease. The Council is now contemplating calling a special election in the near future to vote bonds to be used for the purpose of extending the sewer to the river. and this seems to be the only remedy at hand. As is well known, the main sewer, which serves the northwest part of the city, empties on what is known as the city forty acres, which is situated south and west of the asylum.

The refuse from the sewer has been exceedingly obnoxious to those living in the vicinity of the city's forty-acre tract, and it is also said to be killing stock. In dry weather the conditions seem to be almost intolerable and residents of that vicinity have complained time and again, but the Council, although anxious to remedy the condition, has been unable to do so. Damage suits have been contemplated and conferences have been held, and the Council and Mayor, realizing that something should be done, diligently sought for a means of relieving the objectionable condition and have reached the conclu sion that the main sewer must be extended to the river, so the refuse can be carried away. The distance from the sewer will have to be extended is between 10,000 and 11,000 feet, and the estimated cost is placed at $12,000. In order to raise this money it will be necessary to hold a special election and vote bonds.

If the sewer is extended this will give relief to those suffering and will relieve the city from further trouble and damage suits. The extension of the sewer seems to be the best and only permanent relief and the most economical course to pursue. TO PROSECUTE "ICE TRUST' Attorney General's Assistant Wants Local Suit Started First. JEFFERSON CITY, March residents of Kansas City are so firmly impressed with the idea that an ice trust exists in the Kaw town that they telegraphed to Attorney General Major today to know if he would prosecute the same in the event convicting evidence is furnished him.

JEFFERSON CITY, March 16-The right of property owners in any section of a town or city to prescribe building restrictions within a specified district and to compel purchasers of property within such district to comply with them was upheld by Division No. 2 of the supreme court yesterday. The case in which the decision was rendered was that of Annie F.

King of St. Louis against the St. Louis Union Trust Company. The plaintiff sued out an injunction in the circuit court of St. Louis to restrain that concern from the construction of buildings within the Rex subdivision of the 3900 block on West Pine boulevard which did not comply with the building ret strictions.

An injunction was granted in the lower court and the trust company appealed. The supreme court held that it is the duty of a purchaser to inquire about building restrictions and incumbrances before purchasing and failing to do so does not waive compliance with them.
