the belief that persistent efforts have
been made to have Dr. narvey W.

special interests whose welfare in life

Wiley in connection with the person-
nel board's recommendation for his

CASE OF CHOLERA
AT N.Y. QUARANTINE
First American to Develop Disease.
Several Immigrants
, Have It.
(By Associated Press)
New York, sjuly 15.—The death
today of Peter Cuahing, a resident
American and former watchman at
the Hoffman Island quarantine sta-
tion, from Asiatic cholera, has arous-
ed some apprehension in New York
that the disease may spread beyond
the limits of quarantine.
Vigorous steps were taken today to
stamp out any possible sources of in-
fection, though Health Officer Doty
says there is no cause for alarm.
Strict quarantine has been establish-
ed at the home of Cushing's widow.
He died at Swinburn Island hospital.
While Cushing's death reveals the
first native case of cholera in the
present epidemic, three deaths from
the disease have occurred at Swin-
burn island in the last three days.
According to Dr. Doty, six other
cases exist at quarantine, two of
which are serious. Three of the
*ix were brought from Naples.
Two hundred and five steerage
passengers are now under observa-
tion at quarantine.

THE V. S. POSTAL DEPARTMENT
GIVES DAILY TELEGRAM BOOST
Through the Efforts of Postmaster Darling this Paper Gets Another
Early Morning Outlet, Which Materially Enlarges Its
Circulation Field.
The letter from the division super-
intendent of the department of rail-
way mail service, published below,
was yesterday received by Assistant
Postmaster Pike. It la in response to
an application In behalf of The Dally
Telegram, made by .Postmaster Dar-
ling just before his departure for the
north on his vacation trip. The let-
ter is, In a measure, self-explanatory,
and means much to The Dally Tele-
gram. It means that a new and
exclusive circulation field is opened
up for this paper, by reason of the
fact that we'will now be able to
reach the towns enumerated in the
letter early each morning, far ahead
of all other morning papers, some-
thing which we have heretofore been
unable to do for the reason that the
first morning train north on the
Santa Fe leaves before our publica-
tion, and No. 12, which leaves at 7
a, m., does not carry mail.
The fact that Pendleton is tot in-
cluded In the list is evidently an over-
sight, and Assistant Postmnstor .f ?ke
has written the department to have
that town added, and it Is hoped tnat
the necessary authority will be re-
ceived by next Thursday, the ?0th,
at which time the order goes into
effect.
The section of country Included In
this list of towns represents a rich
field for The Daily Telegram, our
only handicap In the patt holng the
fact that we could not reach there
first.
This will open up a new and lucra-
tive field for some of the numerous
contestants now working for The
Telegram, and the field will be ripe
for them after the 20th of this
month.
Following is a copy of the letter re-
ceived by Assistant Postmaster Pike
yesterday:
DEPARTMENT OF U. S. RY. MAIL SERVICE
Office of Superintendent
To Postmasters at
Moody, McGregor, Crawford, Valley Mills,
Clifton and Meridian.
Gentlemen: The Postmaster at Temple ad-
vises that the Temple Daily Telegram has a large circulation
among the towns mentioned above, and in order to further ad-
vance the newspaper mail from that publication, canvas mail
sacks, coi^aining newspapers only, will be forwarded from
TEMPLE, to Moody, McGregor, Crawford, Valley Mills, Clifton
and Meridian, on Santa Fe train No. 12, daily, effective on
and after July 20*
This refers only to newspaper mail, as letter
mail will not be handled on this train.

Authorizing Extensions of Paving in

Street Signed Up.
Conntv Tax Collector in Temnle to
Issue Transfer Certificate*.
Monday It Last Day.
There is a splendid sign, showing
that corporations and Individuals are
not going to slacken the pace"which
Temple has struck, in the renewal of
street paving activities.
There has been considerable paving
talk, and negotiations for big stretches
have been on hand for some time, and
it Is expected that oui of this will de-
velop contracts. Hut the paving talk
is not all for the future. There is
work going on now, and contracts for
more h*ve been signed.
Recent work, begun by Oekander
Bros, provides for paving on Avenue
B from Fifth to Seventh street, and
from Avenue A to Avenue B, on Fifth
street. Ail but one property holder on
this street has signed for the work,
and as stated, operations have com-
menced. This will complete the pav-
ing abutting on the Santa Fe'^ulld-
inga.
Also, the city has authorized the
paving in front of the lire station, on
Thlrtf street
The city executed contract some
time since for its share of of the pav-
ing ou North Main street, this being
a pretty expensive proposition, Inas-
much as tiie city will have to payi for
staudpipe lot frontage and also ar-
range for the 150 feet adjoining the
government lot. In addition to paying
for the street intersections.
Contracts with the property own-
ers on North Main street are being
executed, and the contract with th»
city calls fur commencement of work
within ninety days from July J. All
ihe work will be pushed with the ar-
rival of brick, which has been causing
the delay in pntting ou big forces.
The gocAl work of paving Is to pro-
ceed, and with the "better business
outlook there will doubtless be prompt
closing up ot deals In several' sections
where negotiations have been under
way.

If y»u have moved, and if you ex-

idence since last January? 22.
Collector Ensor Is at the command
of the public, to issue transfer^ cer-
tificates. He can not do this after
Monday. So, If you have moved from
some other county to this since Jan-
uary 22, or If rou have moved from
country to town, or town to country,
or from one town ward to another
town warvl, or from one country vot-
ing precinct to another country
voting precinct—if you have poll tax
or exemption certificate, and have so
moved subsequent to January 21, you
will have to secure the transfer from
Mr. Enaor, or you will not be allowed
a vote next Saturday.
Quite a number of transfers »ere
made yesterday, but the fact wa» not
generally known> that the collector
would b« In Temple. It Is probable
that a large number of citizens of Tem-
ple and surrounding country have
need of these transfers. They cost
nothing, and the man who falls to
Becure same will have nobortly to
blame but himself, should he be cut
out from voting. The elctlon officers
at each voting box will have lists of
the transfers, and unless a name ap-
pears on the regular poll tax list or
on the supplementary one showing
transfers, vote will be denied, and If
appearing on the regular list, where
removal from a voting precinct ha«
been made since .terroary ft, tfl rote
