The public will heartily endorse
the following suggestion from the
Examiner, and hope the T. s. o. c.
will take advantage of the nice
Spring weather and move its passen-
ger depot up town:
''The travelling public complain
about the location of the T. & o. G.
depot. Passengers coming in from
the south complain that they are let
off the trains before reaching the
city, while on the other hand passen-
gers from the north complain that
they are hauled past the principal
thoroughfares and dropped of below
the city. This is practically true.
The accommodations of the building
at its present location are very
meagre, too, and not at all in keep
ing with the business the road Is now
enjoying. Bellefontaine Is the best
passenger point on the entire line
and should have more convenient
depot. There are two good locations,
either of which can no doubt be Sc

property on west Chillicothe, and
the other the lot just west OF the
Keller & Dowell warehouse on west
Columbus avenue.

RObt. Young Guilty.
.hio state Journal March %.

Ohio State Journal March ~.
After one of the most bitterly con-
tested short cases tried in this county
for some time Robert Young was con-
victed yesterday of having made
fraudulent use of Mt. Vernon rye
whisky labels.
A motion for a new trial was made
Immediately by Young's attorneys
and he was released on $500 bond
pending the hearing of the motion.
Young was found guilty on two in
dictments, charging the misuse OF a
label and bottle imprint with the
trademark OF the Cook -Bernheimer
Company of New York. The convic-
tions are probably the first secured
not only in Ohio, but in a number OF
States having similar laws, seeking
to prohibit the refilling of bottles OF
not only whisky, but proprietary
medicines and the like, under a pen
atty of $500 fine or l2 months imprison'
ment, or both.
The ok-Bernheimer Company
charged that Young had taken its
empty bottles and reflled them with
other whisky.
The whisky in question was found
TO be impure, but this was not taken
into consideration, the charge being
emphasized that the bottles had been
refilled and the labels misused.
Young acknowledges having refilled
the bottles, but declared that they
were refilled from barrel contair ing
the same whisky.

families were rescued in boats by the
police force. All of the lower part
of the houses along Buck Creek dis
trict are covered with mud and water
and the household goods are ruined.
The water has fallen greatly leaving
wrcckage and ruin in its path.
The street cars did not start until

DARING ROBBERY
OF The DEGRAFF :
POSTOFFICE.

Degraff. Ohio, March 2S.-At 6:S(
this morning the discovery was made
that the Degraff postoffice had been en-
tered and robbed during the night.
A rear window had been removed
and access easily gained to the room
The safe was wrecked and the drawer:
robbed OF stamps and money. The Of
fee was not otherwise disturbed.
Several people heard strange noise
in town between 2 and this morning
but had no suspicion OF crime OF any
kind. The sound OF horses being
driven rapidly away from town was
also heard between 2 and 8, but while
at the time nothing was thought o
the matter, it is now known what it al
meant.
The postoffice is located in the Wei.
Ter block on the corner OF Main and
Hayes streets, in the room Jewelel
Miller, OF BellefoDtsine, formerly oc'
cupied. The safe was the one also
used by Mr.. Miller and sold by him
when he left here. 1t was a strong
safe with q sheet OF hardened steel
about the combination which it was
supposed could not be drilled through.
The outer door OF the safe was
wrenched of and the explosive used
on the inner door.
The damage to the building from
the explosion was slight.
OF course the number OF the robbers
is not known but that they were ex-
perts is a certainty. They performed
the job with neatness and dispatch
and covered their tracks cleverly.
Word OF the robbery was sent tc
postoffice officials and to Postmaster
Campbell at Belleiontsine.
A few postage stamps were left in
the safe and q lot OF nickels and
dimes were found scattered about the
floor OF the office.
The clock in the lobby vas discov.
cred to have stopped at aN,uarter o
three O'Clock and it is supposed thai
the explosion occurred at that hour.
1t is thought that all OF 81 900 wa:
taken. 1t being the end OF the quarter
it is supposed that big haul wa;
made.
The tools used were secured a
Startzman & Morton's blacksmith
shop. Pieces of the safe were scattered
all over the room in the explosion anC
the glass in the window was broken.
Third-class postmasters, as a rule
keep their money and stamps in thei
offices, in towns where there are nj
National banks, and Postmaster Ir
wins safe was good one and located
in public place.
A man named Green, who rooms
across from the postoffice, ia said II
have been awakened by the explosion
and to have gone to his window il
time to see two men leave the post
Office building, but this is only hear
say.
1t is generally supposed that nitro
glycerin was used by the robbers.
| Nobody knew OF the robbery unit
the employees went to the Office at tn
usual hour this morning.

out no statements concerning tn

Fine Home Burned

Spring Hills, were burned to the
ground Thursday night, situate on a
beautiful knoll. the McCrosky home
was one of the prettiest in Cham

is thought to be of incendiary origin.
A carriage house between the dwell

hounds were sent for, and the prem

BelIefOntdine Schools
Short of Funds

Although the school tax is the larg-
est of all the levies made, and nearly
one third of our whole tax, it fails to
provide enough money to run our
schools. Hundreds of new scholars
have come into our town without add
ing much to the tax duplicate.
The School Board is in financial
straits; the teachers are unpaid and
from present indications there will
be no money for any of them until
June when the Board viii receive an
other supply of money from the semi
annual tax collections.
The shortage of funds at this time
of the year is not a new situation,
but in the past II has been tided over
with loan and the bills were regu:
larly met, but since the Municipal
Code went into effect and the State
Accounting Bureau with Its inspec-
er was organized, there Is no power
by which the Board may borrow
money, and in fact it is in violation
of law for them TO do so. The inspec-
tor who was last here cautioned the
Board particularly about this.
AT the meeting of the Board held
Friday evening at the home of the
president, John E. West, the situa
tion was gone over in detail and Su
perintendent MacKinnon was author
ICED to visit Columbus next week an(
confer with the School Committee
of the General Assembly and see
whether some provision can be made
for this difficulty which annually oc
ours, but which is now more aggra
waited than ever before. Many othel
cities suffer the same Inconvenience
for different reasons, but in Belle
fontaine It is accounted for by tn,
fact that the population is increas
ing at greater rate than is the tal
duplicate and the levy which tn,
law permits does not produce enough
money each year by about $1,000.
The pay roll for teachers amount
to about $1,000 each month ant
