Burglars entered the Kenmare
postoffice thru a rear window
sometime between midnight and
morning Sunday and stole S3.OS
and nine two-cent stamps. The
fellows made a bold attempt to
loot the safe which, however,
would not yield to their bung-
ling work. They evidently were
amateurs, or they would have
succeeded in opening the large
safe. They drilled two holes in
the safe, one, an eighth inch,
near the com bination lever, and
another three-eighth hole on
top of the safe. Common gun
powder was used in blowing the
safe. The combination plate
had been knocked OF with
chisel and the lever was twisted
Off. The next morning, when
tie postotiice was opened, the
safe was found covered with
lot Of mail sacks used to deaden
the sound. Some burned fuse
was found on top Of the safe, and
later near a building adjoining
the postottice, a rural mail sack
and some other tools were found.
A two-foot pipe wrench and a
brace were found. All of the
tools, except the brace, had been
stolen from Clemons' blacksmith
shop, and the brace was taken
from j. M. Robe 4 Co.'s shop.
There was a good deal OF
money and stamps in the safe
and the fellows would have made
a nice little haul had they been
successful.
A gang OF men have been rob-
bling the postoffices OF the state
and it is more than likely that
this was the work of the gang.
A good clue has been struck and
it is possible that the guilty ones
will be brOt to time.

Dakota,s Hills.

The Independent is the recip-
lent Of a very pretty little poem
which we publish in this weeks
issue. The writer has been fav-
oring us with poems from time
to time and promises to give us
the best that his pen affords, as
the spirit moves him. The indie.
pendent would gladly let it's
readers know the name OF the
author OF these poems, but the
writer asks us not to divulge his
name. 1t is sufficient to say
that the writer lives on a home
stead in Ward county, therefore
can sympathize with nine-tenths
OF the readers of the Independent:
If you want to study nature,
just get out among the hills:
Listen to the lark croning,
And the ripping of the rills.
Watch the little daisies nodding,
Hear the Katydids odd tune;
Hear the night winds softly sobbing,
Watch the splendor of the moon;
For it seems that it shines big liter
And my heart with wonder nils
At the makeup of creation
Away out in Dakota Hills.
You can talk about the prairies.
On the level with the world,
But give me these hills Of granduer,
At their feet the meadows curl,
ROBBED in mantles so impressive,
But the sickle soon will still
All their hopes Of being equal
To the beauties of the hills:
All is life and animation
And the soil the farmer tills;
When the prairies are exhausted
Therell be richness in the hills.
When the golden sun is setting,
In the far off distant west,
And I see the glimmering twilight
Softly fading DER their crest,
Then there's something that is greater
Than the poets mind can fill;
For they cannot fathom nature
Nor the beauties of the hills.
So I'll leave it with the artist,
With his easel, brush and skill;
If in all his pretty landscapes,
There is one excels the hills.

The announcement OF fire was

But brows have ached for 1t. and

The Osteopathic science has been
assailed as vigorously as ever any

step backward 1t has made great
stride forward. ~

In all our criticism of Mr.. Bryan
we have always given him credit for
consistent honesty Of purpose. but
his recent utterance on Secretary OF
State Roots speech on nationalism.
viewed in the light of some of his
past declarations, bears close resem-
blance to demagogy. We are sorry.
too, for honest opposition to the
government. no matter how able, al
ways keeps the administration in the
straight and narrow path. Here is
what Mr.. Bryan has to say, after de-
Tending the theory of local self-gov-
eminent Ga point never touched up
on by Mr. Root:
II Secretary Root has in mind
the japanese question as it pre-
scented itself in California he
will find the American people
unwilling to turn. the school sys-
TEN over to the federal govern
ment merely to please any for
eign nation, however friendly.
The weeks have scarce merged in
to months since Mr.. Bryan hurled
the bolts of his oratory against the
idea of increasing the navy. The ex-
pressed purpose of the administra-
ton in increasing the fighting force
on the seas was the preservation of
the peace. Mr.. Bryan said ii would
cause war instead of peace. and in
sisted that the best way to preserve
peace Is TO act honorably toward all
nations and court their friendship
Such a bellicose gentleman should at
least be consistent enough TO advo-
cate measures for establishing the
country on a war footing before call
ing attention to the chip on Uncle
Sans shoulder. We greatly fear Mr.

vocated. has Joined the ranks of the
