The Baltic

Last Friday night about ten O'Clock
a telephone message was received in
this city stating that Mr.. N. L. Helm,
agent for the Milwaukee railroad at
Baltic. was held up by two strange men
and robbed Of some two hundred dollars
of railroad money. The crime was a
daring one and was committed on the
depot platform. Mr.. Helm was at the
depot alone. The freight had just passed
ann Mr.. Helm had counted the cash on
hand and found there was something
over $500. He put this money in his
pocket and stepped out on the platform.
He hsd no sooner stepped out of the
door Of the depot than he was con-
fronted By two strange men n OF
whom stuck q murderous looking gun
in his face and ordered him to throw NJ
his hands. The frightened agent was
not long in complying. While n OF
the men kept him covered with the gun
the other went through his pockets and
relieved him of the money and a golt
watch. After the robbers had satisfied
themselves that they had secured every
thing Of value which Mr.. Helm had OF
his person, they backed away into TIT
darkness and disappeared. As soon a
Helm recovered from his fright he sum
moned a number of residents of tn
city and informed them of what hal
taken place. In securing the town ant
surrounding country no trace OF TN
daring robbers was secured. The mex
morning o posse started ont and tn
nearby towns were also notified, bu

From the Omaha Bee.

From the Omaha Bee.
A few months ago President Roose-
welt appointed commission charged
with the duty OF investigating the busi-
ness methods In the various depart
ments and bureaus OF the Government.
The object of this was to ascertain
what reforms could be introduced. what
could be done IN the way OF dispensing
with or modifying certain red tape
methods long Ia vogue and which were
believed to be an obstruction to busi-
ness. and what was desirable IN order
TO simplify and facilitate business.
This commission has been actively
engaged In the work assigned TO IL since
It's appointment and II Is stated that
the work is now reaching point where
II Is likely TO take some definite form
before great while, either In the
way of actual plans for changes In
methods or else OF suggestions and
recommendations regarding the steps
that had better be taken. The Wash
ington correspondent of an Eastern
paper remarks that the commission has
been somewhat under fire ever since its
inception and that various newspapers
Identified with local interests have from
time to time given it rap as Oppor-
tunity offered. But this correspondent
says that so far as can be judged by
unprejudiced witnesses. the methods
pursued by the commission i'm its in
vestigations have been more careful.

have been followed out by any investi-
eating body appointed by the Govern
ment for good while. 1T seems to
be clear. although the information
gathered by the commission has not
been published that It has succeeded
in getting many results of very great
interests and value. while there can be
no doubt that in a number Of different
respects conditions in the different de-
partments have already stiffened up

KILN DRYING or WOOD
Forest Service Studies the Subject to

Drying is an essential part OF the

originated in the effort to improve or
shorten the process. BY subjecting the
wood to high temperature, or to a
draught OF heated air. in a confined
space of kiln, time is saved and a GER
tain degree OF control over the drying
conditions is secured.
There are two points IN the manu-
faeture OF lumber at either Of which IL
may be kiln-dried. With soft-woods

kiln-dry the lumber at the saw mill be-
Tore 1t is shipped. This practice. how
ever is III adapted to hardwoods. in
which il would produce such checking
and warping as would greatly reduce
the value OF the product
kiln-drying is so important a process
that need is keenly felt for fuller in
formation regarding it, based upon
scientific study of the behavior of vari-
GUS kinds OF woods at different temper-
atures and under different mechanical
drying devices. In the effort to develop
il TO the highest efficiency. a variety OF
methods have been employed. but as

when he brazenly gave his reasons for
upholding the voters assistant law that
it enabled the vote buyer to know

made himself ineligible for the position
