Robbers Worked Boldly.

A wagon was filled with goods in the place. and all the cash available was taken. The sheriff and city officers were on hand early this morning but tney could do nothing, as there had been light dew during the night and had made work for the dogs impossi- ble. Goods to the value of s2OO were taken. Not satisfied. apparently, with what they obtained from the Rauscher store, the thieves then ventured into the yard of nearby citizen and stolo from the chicken roost eight fine hens.

LUMBER PLANT SOLD
THE MEYERS COMPANY CHANGES
 HANDS.
Reported That Pennsylvania Capital ists Have Purchased the Concern at . Price Said to Be
 a2O0yOO0.
Advertiser Bureau, .

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Nov. 1s.
 It was said here last night and this morning that the plant Of the Nevers Lumber Company. on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad at Catts, between Linden and Myrtlewood. had been sold to party of Pennsylvania capitalists who had inspected the property the mast week. The capitalists passed through this city Friday on their way home, and it is believed that the re- port current in regard to their pur- chase of the plant is true.
 1t seems to be the opinion that the price paid for the plant and the other property of the Meyers Lumber Com pany was s20o,ooo This included the lumber mill, logging road, and about J0 900 acres of timber lands. It Is said to be the purpose of the new owners to bring South large number of white families who will settle on the lands that have been cleared up by the mill. purchase of the plant by the Pennsyl- vania capitalists, it is said, will be given out tomorrow.
 VIII Run No Special Train.
 For the past few days an effort has been made to get the Louisville and Nashville Railroad to run special tTdin tniS Ctty AoCS01y so as to give the people on the road between Fiomaton and this city a chance to come to Selma and see the circus that day. Without a special train to reach here in the morning they will have to leave their homes Monday night and stay in the city all day Tuesday and return home We'd nesday morning.
 A petition was presented to the local officials of the road from here So Cam den and in the other direction. The local officials made an effort to get an extra train for the day. Yesterday. however, it was announced that on ac- count of the scarcity of coaches 1t would be impossible for the road to run the special train. This will prove q great disappointment to the patrons of the road in that section of the State who are anxious to come to Selma to see the circus.
 It is expected that one of the largest crowds that has ever been In Selma will be here Tuesday. From every di- rections 1t is reported that all trains running into the city will bring large crowds. On the Linden branch of the Louisville and Nashville train of nine passenger cars has been asked for that day.

However. it is the popular belief that
the Chinese originated the art. AS early
as so years before Christ the orientals
are known to have made impressions
upon paper, from engraved wooden
blocks.
England first became acquainted with
printing through William CaSton. whose
name has become immortal through his
Introduction of the art into the British
Isles. He printed several editions Of
CHANGER S works. and these are now
pointed TO as the first printed books
which the Britislsers eve read. John
Gutenberg holds for himself the honor
of establishing typography. However.
he has a strong rival in L, ]. Co.'S
ter. a Hollander who acquired some fame
through his inventions of wood type and
later metal.
The system. employed by early Chi
nese is interesting in the extreme. The
work which it is intended to print was
put on thin transparent paper. Each
OF these sheets was then pasted down.
ward upon a block of wood and an en-
graver with suitable tools cuts away
the portion of the block and paper upon
which nothing is drawn, thus leaving
the characters in relief and producing
a printing block. To print the block

the proof is pulled" The Chinese are
credited with having used movable tyne
as early as the twelfth ansd thirteenth
centuries, and such types are now used
extensively by European missions in
China. The chief difficulty in using
movable types for Chinese work is that
each word requires a separate charac-
ter instead as in European languages. Of

OLD PRINTING PRESS.
HAS BEEN IN USE IN THIS
COUNTRY SINCE 1888.
It Was the First Printing Machine
in Use in the American Col
onies-Did Good Work
for Harvard.

The ancient Daye printing press,
which up to a recent date had been III
use at Harvard university. is now on eX-
bibition in the rooms of the Vermont
Historical society, at Montpelier. ms
press has seen service since 1858 ana
was the first instrument OF its KIND IN
use in the colonies. 1t was brought from
England and set up in Cambridge,
Mass. the same year that John Harvard
founded the university that bears his
name. stephen Daye saw prospects for
the establishment of a prosperous print
ing business in the colonies, and with
such plans in view he left England and
set himself up in the college town.
The first American books, the earliest
editions of state laws. colonial money
and early newspapers were printed upon
this ancient press, and for more than
1850 years has remained in fairly good
condition.
It's first production was a broads1de
of the Freeman's Oath, then the Alma
nae circulated for New England, and in
due course the Bay psalm book.
Dave carried on the printing business
until 1G49. when Samuel Green and
Marinadalle Johnson came into posses
sion of the Office and press and con
Quoted the business.
The Daye press passed into the pos
session of Harvard college in 1856. In
17l4 it became the property of Timothy
Green. a Boston printer and descendant
e C.-o,,o1 Gwonn uyhn rornnuad M MoU
London. Conn, taking the press thence.
The press remained in the Green fam
ily until 1772, when it was purchased by
Alden Spooner and set up by him at
Norwich. Conn, in the printing Office in
which Alden Spooner, Judah Paddock
Spooner and Timothy Green were part
ners. 1t was next moved to Vermont
and set up in Dresden.
According to the best obtainable i'm
formation the first printing done at the
Dresden Office on this press vas a PAM
phlet containing the sermon preached
by Rev. Aaron Hutchinson before the
constitutional convention at Windsor,
July 2. 1777. The pamphlet bears no
date. but it is reasonable to assume
that the sermon was printed soon after
the Spooners became state printers"
Although the story of the career of
this ancient press is practically the his
tory of early colonial printing itself, the
colonies were comparatively late in
adopting the art. with regard to its in
PRODUCTION in other parts of the new
world.
The first press in the new world was
established in 1910 at the City of Mexico,
and was followed by one at Lima. Peru.
A years later. stephen Daye estah-
lished the printery at Harvard univer-
sity and although late Improvements
have been added. the old University

MINING IN MONTANA.


TOWNSEND, Mont, Dec %. E. J,
Morrison arrived here few days ago,
being followed by a car of tools, sup
plies, ETC., as starter for work on the
Indian Creek Gold Extraction com
pany's ground, about two miles from
town. This company owns several
hundred acres of ground on Indian
Greek, adjoining the ground formerly
worked by John Murray, but now being
worked by James Smith of Helena.
The company will work its ground by
what is known AS the semi-dry process,
which requires about one tenth of the
amount of water usually needed in
placer mining, and they will save all
flour gold, as well as the coarse. The
weather has no material influence on
this process, consequently they will
work the year round, employing about
forty five men in the shifts. They ex-
pect to have their first machine in
operation by May 1st and the second

some of the leading mining men of

ground coupled with Mr.. Morison's
ability should mean good dividends for

over this ground picked up a nugget
weighing over $3.50. Mr.. Morrison, the
promoter, has resided in Montana for
twenty-five years, and is we'll and

FAVOR WIDOWS ISLAND.
Trustees of Insane Hospitals Recon- mend
Property for Summer Home.

Trustees of Insane Hospitals Recon- mend
Property for Summer Home.
The annual report of the board of
trustees of the insane hospitals has
been issued. The document calls at
tention to the crowded condition of
both the Augusta and Bangor institu-
lions and recommends their enlarge
ment. Concerning the building on
Widows Island, the report says:
Among the various matters affect
ing the condition of the insane in our
State institutions we would respectful
ly call attention to the real estate and
buildings on Widows island located
near Vinalhaven and about II miles
from the city of Rockland. These
buildings were erected by the United
States at an expense of about $75, 900,
and the national government presented
the property to the State Of Maine with
the proviso that it be used for some
we'll defined public good. The execu
tive department of the State in No
vember called the attention of the
trustees OF the two insane hospitals to
the question of using these buildings
as summer home for the durable in
mates of the institutions. Early in
December, 1904, the trustees according
ly visited the island and made careful
examination of the real estate and
buildings thereon. It was a beautiful
day and the visit was satisfactory
one. While the general feeling of the
board was unfavorable to the use of
the property as a sanitarium for our in
sane, still all the trustees present were
greatly pleased with the general appear
ance of the large and commodious build
ings, as well as with the thorough work
manship and fine material used in their
construction; and all were of the opin
ion that, so far as the buildings them
selves were concerned. they fully met
the requirements of a proper summer
home by the ocean for judiciously Sc
lected company of insane inmates.
'lt is estimated that the rooms of
the building would accommodate Is pa
tients, and that an expenditure of So,
O60 would fully equip it for occupancy
While the trustees were not prepared
to advise the immediate use of this
property, they considered the question
of sufficient Importance to.bring directly
to the attention of the next legislature,
in order that the whole subject might
be fully investigated, with the idea of
occupying this valuable real estate if
the best interests of the insane could
thus be promoted. The judgment of
one OF the trustees was against the use
OF the building and real estate for the
purpose already stated"

The Maine Ice Harvest.

GARDNER, Me-, Jan. s. The recent
snow and rainstorm threatened to destroy
the ice-cutting operations in Maine, but it
was OF too short duration to be ruinous.
On the Kennebec river operations have

are houses with capacity of 10000 tons.
At present $4,000 tons are under cover.
The snow and rain threatened to sink all
ice fields, but the cultivated fields are not
injured and should the weather be cold
enough, cutting and housing will be resumed
Monday.
A large New York ice concern will begin
operations on the Penobscot river and at
