The committee by a large majority, how- ever, voted not to do so The reporting of the suffrage amendment was a surprise to its sup- porters. The designation of Repre- sentative Walsh of Massachusetts, an anti suffragist, to suceed Representa- tive of Moss of West Virginia as a member of the committee a few days ago was generally believed by many suffrage leaders to have dealt a death blow to their chances of having any sort of a suffrage resolution reported this year.

Newman Grove, Neb., Dec. 14.— (Special.)—The matter of getting mail into this town is still a very serious question. Mail that is sup- posed to reach here at 4:55 in the evening is usually too late to be worked the same day, and the result is that quite often papers are a day old. The service was excellent dur- ing the time last summer when the second passenger train was operated on this line, and since that time the arrival of mail is decidedly uncertain. The new Farmers' Union Co-oper- ative store building is nearing com- pletion and will be one of the finest in town. The building is a two-story brick and will cost about $12,000.
