carlyle SAFE BLOWN OPEN
Burglars Secure Over Two Hundred
Dollars by Successful Robbery
of the Village Post-OfIice.

AT two O'Clock last Friday the safe
in the post-oliice at Carlyle was blown
open and robbed of about two hundred
dollars. OF this amount S20.O 90 was
Government money, about $50. be-
longed to the Presbyterian church of
Carlyle, about $3.50 to the Woodmen
lodge and the remainder to the firm
of Adams & Caldwell.
There is no clue whatever to the
identity of the robbers. Mr.. David
Caldwell, who lives near the post Office
was awakened by the explosion and
ran out onto his porch to try to locate
it. He suspected what had happened
and went back to dress. After getting
his clothes on he went to the office
and found the safe wrecked, but the
wreckers, of course, had disappeared.
That morning a drawer of the safe
was found in freight ca" that stood
on the siding with some checks and
some notes that the burglars evident
ly had no use for.
Mr. Charles Adams, of the firm of
Adams & Caldwell, is the postmaster
and keeps the post-oiiice in the store.
AS the safe was the only one in the
village it was used as sort of bank,
and that is the way the church and
lodge money happened to be in it. SO
far as has yet been discovered the
thieves took nothing from the store,
being wisely satisfied with cash which
could not be identified.
Mr.. Adams came TO lola that morn
ing and wired a report of the loss to
the proper officials of the postal de-
Dartment.

The city by ordinance has given to
the county full right and title 10 use
and occupy the public park with a
court house if it so desires. It will be
remembered that when Iolawas plated
the park was given forever to the pub
lie, which at that time meant the coun-
ty. Later it was found necessary and
eXpedient to improve the park, sod il,
set out trees and fence it. The city
wanted the county to do this but the
county waived its rights and told the
city to take the park and care for it,
This the city did and has spent hun
dreds of dollars on the park and has
absolutely controlled it for years.
Now the law may on this account have
given the city some rights in regard to
the park and hence the city ordinance
was passed and published yielding
any such right to the county, provid-
ed the county wishes to use and oc-
cupy the park with a court house.

Webb Bostwlck,s Canaries.

n. f, Acers tells an interesting story
of the canary birds which Webb Bost-
wick keeps in their real estate Office
For several years Webb has owned u
pair of old birds and last year they
raised pair of young ones. All lived
happily together until recently when
in some way the mothe" bird escaped
while being carried in a cage by a
little girl. 1t was but few days later
that the old father bird, probably
feeling reckless from his loneliness,
went on a spree and broke his leg. He
is almost helpless in the cage but can
flop and buster around The inter-
esting part is the way his children
act. They have deliberately tucked
the old boy in nest of soft clothes
made in can and insist on his stay
ing there until we'll Now and then
he gets up and goes puttering about
and the young ones Immediately set
upon him and fuss and chatter until
he goes back to bed. Then all is
quiet. Mr.. Acers and Mr.. Bostwick
have watched them for hours and find
it hard to understand. Canary per-
son explain it =?

Concert Band Reorganized.

Twenty members of the band got to-
gether at the band room last week
and decided to reorganize the band
and go to work provided enough sup
port would be given it by the business
men. The band will have to hire an
instructor and rent room and will
start out with sure expense of $50
per month. In addition to this there
will have to be new music purchased
right along and there is still debt of
$4,000 on the suits which the boys
want to lift as soon as possible. 1t
was decided to solicit the business
men and If a guarantee of S75 month
can be raised the boys will give con-
cert each week on the night which the
ajority of the business men vote for.
Each man will be asked his choice
when he is solicited and the night
which is picked by the majority of
them will be concert night. 1t seems
that there should be no trouble in
getting this amount guaranteed and
as soon as it is guaranteed the ban
will work. There is no doubt that lola
ought to have a good band and there
is no doubt but that there will be a
good band here if the proper encour-
agement is given.
O. l.. Cowan was elected president,
Roll Ramey, vice president, j. Ander-
son, librarian and Walter Cooper,
secretary. 1t was decided to employ
MIR. OTTO Peterson as director. Mr..
Peterson had the band last summer
and it was acknowledged to be the best
| that lola had ever had.

A Boys Gross Carelessness.

George A. Fry is loser last week
through the carelessness of boy
large enough to be man and know
better, Mr.. Fry owns a fine Jersey
COW which he says he wouldn't take
800 for because she has been a famil y
pet and is gentle and a good mixer.
Friday a youth came to take her
to the country where she can have
pasture and exercise as she will be
fresh soon. Instead of taking her
directly from her feed lot to the coun-
try, the boy took her few: blocks
away, tied his horse to Il post and
tied the COW to the horse. Then the
boy went down town on very urgent
loafng business and stayed. The
cow, being a pet, feared nothing and
stood still while the horse kicked heI
in the head and ribs, again andlagain
Finally the horse wound the Irope
about her neck and tried to choke her
and failing this, broke loose and
started to lead her at gallop to. the
country. Some men stopped him, but
it is question whether the cow lives.
1t is also a question whether the boy
is worth as much as the COW.

does numerous things with his toes

of the lot carpenters have built eleven

nection with the livery, to hold sale

ness has encouraged him to make these
extensions.

Which shows that we have fallen
forty-six short of being as deeply in
terested in the city affairs this year
as we were last year. 1t is to be
regretted on that account and also be-
cause a large, full registration would
have made an excellent basis bywhich
10 estimate noses. But if all who
have registered get out and vote there
will be a good days work done on
election day. A comparison of the
figures shows that fewer men and more
women have registered than last year,
and that may mean something.
