MAIL POUCH LOOTED.
Robbery Is Committed in Cheyenne
Postofffce VestibuIe.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 19.-The pos
tai authorities are wrought up over a
strange robbery that occurred at mid
night yesterday, when a pouch of reg
istered matter was opened and 20
packages stolen.
The registered pouch was delivered
to the postal clerk by the night force
at the local office. The clerk signed
for it and left the pouch with other
mail in the vestibule in the rear of
the office while he hunted up the
mail transfer man.
The pouches were taken to the de-
pot and placed on a truck, while the
clerk ate his breakfast. He did not
discover the robbery until he started
to work the mail en- route east.
The thief had removed the lock
from the pouch, evidently using a key
for the purpose, and then took the
packages.
Detectives have been working on
the case, but thus far have failed to
find a clue. The postoffice authorities
are reticent and the value of the stol-
en- packages has not been learned.

STATE AID FOR
GRADED SCHOOLS
SUPERINTENDENT CARY APPoR.
TIoNs FUND OF $4,000.
MORE MONEY NEXT YEAR
Legislature Raised Requirements,
Gave State superintendent More
Authority and Increased Fund to
t2o,ooo-Some Schools Lose Aid
Because of Failure to Comply.
Madison, August 15.


State Superintendent Cary yester.
day announced the annual apportion.
ment of state aid for graded schools.
The fund was $4,000 for the present
year, but will be increased by so per
cent next year and made $4,000 in
accordance with an amendment enact.
ed by the last legislature. This year
a number of graded schools were de-
MED state aid because the local
school officers were at fault, sither
in failing to make the required report
or neglecting to carry out the recon-
mendations of the state superlntend-
ent. The law increasing the fund
for this purpose also raised the quail
ifications required OF teachers and
gave the state superintendent larger
powers in requiring equipment prop
er heating and yentilating facilities.
This apportionment is made among
the graded schools according to the
size and number of departments
maintained Glass one includes
schools which maintain more than
two departments and otherwise meet
the requirements as to teachers,
length of school year and sanitation,
as laid down by the law and the state
superintendent Glass one schools
are entitled to $500 a year each
Class two includes the graded schools
which maintain two departments.
These are entitled to $500 a year If
they meet all requirements. This
year there are 1913 schools of the first
class and 215 of the second class.
Before the apportionment is made
the salaries and travelling expenses OF
the two state graded school inspectors
is taken out, according to a provision
of law.
An amendment passed by Inc last
legislature will assure the two depart,
ment schools hereafter special aid to
the amount of 5000 annually The
same law provides a change in the
legal qualifications of the teachers in
second class state graded schools.
All teachers hereafter must have
had successful experience The prin.
cipal may hold only second grade
certificate, but If a second grade,
that person must have had at least
two years successful experience. The
assistant teachers may hold third
grade certificates, but must have had
at least one years successful expert
ence. The statements of successfua
experience must be signed by the
county superintendent and a copy
filed with the district clerks No state
graded school hereafter win be en-
titled to receive state aid unless each
and every room is properly heated
and ventilated. or. in other words,
maintained in a sanitary condition.

of the existence of an abiding and
Astounding faith the men Of those
times were able to create those i'm
pressive monuments. Although such
reasoning surely is inverted. we all
may hope that a satisfying, If not
far-reaching reformation may attend
their efforts. Meanwhile it must be
conceded that as a part of the munich
pal scenery, as one of the items of a
community's wealth, as landmark
along the pathway of art, a cathedral
building may be fairly held to be
worth its cost, whether in fourteenth
century guise it seems to ape the
work of the men who created the
style or whether, like the Westminster
cathedral, 1t seems to explain more
clearly the humanities of the day
that gives it birth. Even then It viii
be found bordering the question, Is
the modern cathedral really erected to
the glory of God, or of the bishop or
of the architect?

BoNDsMEN ARE RELEASED.

Waukesha, Wis, Aug. f3.--Judge
Griswold has rendered an important
decision in the county court in the
caes of the United States Gypsum
company. Illinois Brick company and
Wilbur Lumber company against
Michael Gleason, declared bankrupt,
October 3, 1904, and his six bonds
men. T. E. Ryan, Samuel Breese, John
Brehm, M. ]. Moore, Conrad Frank
and August Dieman, dismissing the
complaint and holding that the bonds
men are not liable. The case con
tains a question never before settled
in the courts of this state and an ap
peal will probably be taken to the
supreme court.
The suit was brought to recover
for material furnished Gleason when
he had tLe contract for building the
county insane asylum. The contract
paid him $31 500 and he gave bonds
which bound him to pay all valid
claims for material used In the con
struction of the building, and six
bondsmen signed Gleason was then
considered a stable contractor. In
his decision Judge Griswold found
that there is ne the United States
Gypsum company s2,90620 and inter
est from May /, 1903; the Illinois
Brick company $187740 and interest
from December &c, 1903, and the viii
bur Lumber company $1070.1G with
interest from September 2, 1903,
but that the bondsmen are not liable
for the same and dismissed the com,
plant.
