returns for the year and will be warmly
welcomed.
Miss Hutchinson, the popular and sue
cessful principal of the.Primary Dept. of
the Model school, will also return to her
position for another year. This depart
| ment was never in so tlourIshing condi-

the urgency of friends here, and II ma

SAFE BLOWING AT GARDEN CITY

Mr.. Fri ID. Evans store ut Garden City was
entered by burglars about two o'clock Monday
morning, the safe blown open and the building
con siderably damaged 1t seems that couple
Of young men were in Garden City, Saturday,
tookldnncr with Majo Evans, and went into
the country us they pretended, To visit an old
school-matc. On the afternoon train they
started for La kc Crystal, but at the crossing
| about half mile this side of Garden City they
slipped or and il is presumed concealed them
selves in the vicinity until the time above
stated
Entrance To the store was secured by cutting
out pane of glass. The safe was charged
with very large blast, and the explosion
caused the total destruction of the safe,
knocked down nearly all the light shelf goods,
smashed quantity of crockcry, shattered the
| entire front of the building leaving not Il
whole window glass in ii, and started the joists
in the rear Of the building from their fasten-
ings.
The explosion was plainly heard at dis
lance Of half mile, and Major Evans was
| aroused from his sumbers. Some one had
been tumpcring with the Majors chicken coop
| only night or two before and he thought the
villain was still pursuing them. So nc arose,
shouldcrcd his gun, and went upon tho porch
tn wayIay MIR Chicken Hobbcr But after ten
or fifteen minutes Mr. L. made up his mind
that he was troubled with the night-marc, and
returned Ia his couch.
Monday morning Major Evans came To the
city and reported to our officers of the deprcda-
ton. Later on Fri Is. came down and pur-
chased II stock OF window glass with (which to
make repairs. Arriving home on the after
| noon train, the Major telegraphcd To this city
that Harry Shaubut had seen TWO follows near
Good Thunder headed for Minnesota lake,
and suspicion rested upon them as being the
| guilty parties So the Major wen! over tn
| Good Thunder and Sheriff Monks arri yed there
| on the Monday evening train. The sheriff
did considerable tclegraphing, and learned
that two men had taken the freight trai n and
! were somewhere between Webs and Albert
| Lea. So the officer continued to that point,
but found no trace of the suspected parties
| He returned Tuesday morning to Good Thun-
| der, took n team AMI started out. He found
the two young fellows, but they proved to- be
the sons of Frank and Ed wilkins, of this
| city, who were on their way to Mr.. Taylor's
| farm near Mapleton.
! MIR. Evans lost no money by the operation
| as he leaves none in the safe ht night, Some
private papers and correspondence were 'lift
! ed" As they are Of no possible use to- anyone
| except the owner, II is probable they will even
tualy turn up I'm some brush pile. Mr.. f. pia.

The State convention having been
called for Sept. I'D, at least Il week later
than was anticipated by the county com
mittee, an effort should Ice made 20 have
but one convention, or else set a date
for holding the convention for the sclec-
ton Of delegates to the State convention
at a much earlier date than was provided
for. Something should be done without
question. To hold two conventions with
i'm two or three days of each other is al
together too much of II good thing, and
had the call for the State been out prcvi.
Gus 10 the meeting of the committee, il
II safe to say that the dates which now
confront us would not have been made
While we are convinced that two con.
ventions wonld be preferable To one in
many WAYS, we do not believe the dates
decided upon are calculated Ia
meet the case, and unless some
thing more satisfactory can be arranged
bv the committee, we trust they will do
away with the second convention. A
large number of people who favor two
conventions would rather have one than
TO have the two come i'll such close
proximity, and We believe the commit
tee will be unit on this point. If,
however, the dates can be SO separated
as to be satisfactory, there is no reason
why the committee should not hold the
two conventions.
