Franchise Not Granted.

The matter of granting a fran chise to the "Carroll County Mutual Telephone Co.," was up for consideration at the regular meeting of the town council on Tuesday night and after giving the subject further consideration, the council did not consider the proposition feasible one and it was accordingly voted down.
 The local exchange owners represented to the council that it is their intention to give every body square deal and that all lines and exchanges will be put on equal footing, making q flat rate of 9 cents for each phone on lines owned by other companies or individuals.
 Among the bills allowed were items aggregating about $40 to finish paying for the stone walk from Springfield street to Broad way on the south side of Ninth street. The whole expenses of laying this walk amount to S279.95.
 The city is now without funds. Several warrants of recent will have to hold over until the pres- ent collection of taxes is turned in.

Wants Blood Hounds.

A. J. Cox is anxious to go on record as in favor of the county purchasing and keeping in train : ing a pair of blood hounds, so that when a depreciation is com- mitted like the burglary of the post office or fire of questionable origin occurs, the matter can be at once investigated by the use of these dogs.
 MT. Cox would have the hounds kept at the county seat under the command of the sheriff, who could respond at instant notice for work of this character.
 MT. Cox believes this would not only be an effective means of running down criminals but the fact well advertised that the county is equipped with blood hound service would have great tendency to suppress a class of crimes that has become entirely too numerous in this part of the country.
 In discussing the matter Tues day MT. Cox suggested the idea of presenting the matter at the next term of county court and ask for an allowance to make the purchase. It would be only a matter of few hundred dollars at most.
 An equipment of blood hound service would not be bad in. vestment for towns like Green Forest without night watch service. If some agent for the sale of the blood hound breed of canines would come to Green Forest soon we believe he could do some business, if his prices were found to be in reach.

Officials Inspect Line.

The officials of the M. & N. A road went over the company's line from Nesho to the ''front, J thirty miles below Leslie, during last week. They also inspected the proposed terminal grounds in Joplin, and while in the famous mining city, the Joplin News Herald gleaned from them the following facts:
 The Joplin passenger depot of the new lines is to be located north of Broadway and east of Main street.
 Present plans are to install a large park near the depot.
 Vice President George L. Sands says there is a possi- bility of establishing a union depot.
 Space north of the depot ad- joining Main street, will be used, probably, for warehouse purpose
 Trains to run into Joplin from Neosho over from Kansas City Southern tracks for the present.
 Possibility the shops may be located in Joplin.
 Terminal facilities to be the largest in the city.
 Date of resuming work on local terminals not yet set, but indications point to a speedy re- vival of operation s.
 Contr act let to Western Union Company for installing wires along route of the line.
 Route to Kansas City from Joplin not yet decided.
 The article closes thus:
 "The regular operation oi trains between Neosho and Jop- lin will follow the completion ol the installation of a wire service. The contract for this has been let, and equipment will be in- stalled as quickly as possible How long this will take it is i'm . possible to estimate.
 If the plans and specifications of the drawing are carried out the Missouri and North Arkansas yards will be by far the most ex tensive in the city, and a vast territory north of Broadway will be converted into an area fol switch tracks. In regard to the location of the prin cipal shops of the company, Mir. Sands stated that nothing definite had been decided on yet.
 Almost every city and town along the route has made a bid for the shops. It is not improb- able that the shops might be located in Joplin.
 Early Tuesday morning the officials left their private car in the Kansas City Southern yards and made a general survey oi their property. The ground was muddy and slushy from the re- cent rain and they were forced to pick their way carefully. Sev- eral of the officials had not seen the Joplin holdings before and they expressed much satisfaction with the central location.''

THE mail order houses in the large cities want a'parcels post law passed, because it will help their business, but the small shop keepers in the country and the express companies do not want it enacted because it will not benefit theirs. It is just a question who will have the most weight with the great men at the national capitol. It has warm friends and bitter enemies, and plausible arguments can be ad- vanced on both sides. It is nip and tuck with the measure, with slight odds in favor of these who want it killed.

POST OFFICE ROBBERY
Burglars Blow Up Safe and Get Away with About S75

A genuine sensation wal created in Green Forest or Friday morning of last week when it was announced that the safe had been blown open in the post office during the night.
 The robber or robbers had en- tered the building by breaking a ock and prying up one of the rear windows.
 A hole was bored in the top oi the safe and 8 charge of some sort of effective explosive ad- ministered which blew the safe door for several feet, knocking down the railing which separates off the floor space used by the rural carriers.
 The explosion was heard by several parties but no one was sufficiently aroused to get out to see what had caused it. E. s. Foreman got up and lighted a lamp, but hearing nothing further went back to bed. He said the hour was 12:30.
 After ransacking the contents of the safe and relieving the of- flee of about S75, the robbers evidently repaired to the store of Coxsey & Co.,, which they entered by bursting out a panel in the rear door. One of the cash drawers was broken from the counter and some small charge taken. The fact that the safe was not locked evidently saved il from being shot. The inside door was locked and the bur- glars had;made dilligent effort to pick it, but failed, leaving only a few scoars. This was the extent of the damage sustained by Cox sey & Go. as far as they could discover. On leaving the store the burgl ars left 8 brace and two chisels, the former they had secured by breaking into Wise & Smiths shop and the latter from Bryant's shop.
 Several valuable papers be- longing in the post office safe were found in the lane leading around toward Dr. Poynor'a s place. About S200 worth of stamps were damaged by the explosion, but none were carried away.
 There is yet nc tangible clew to the perpetrators although one arrest has been made with the hope of developing something.
 This is the second time the safe in the Green Forest post of- flee has been blown open and robbed. The office was entered on the night of Sept. %, 1903, and the safe blown, while c. B. Grim was Postmaster, the office being kept in the rear end of his store. The safe blown at that time was much larger than the one of Postmaster Rhodes, and in fact contained 8 great deal more booty. The loss, however, was considerably less at that time for the reason that the robbers for some cause failed to pick up the money after they had ex- posed it to open view. Over $500 in currency and about S700 worth of stamps remained unmolested Some $25 or $50 was missing. A sheet t-iron drawer in safe was carried over in the meadow in the Phillips field and opened and dumped, it being ascertained that no money was contained in it.
 Like the present case, there was little or no clew as to the perpetrators. A postal inspector was on the ground early and a reward was offered by the gover- ment and supplemented by the citizens, which aggregated S518.50, but no arrests were ever made.

THERE is a vast difference

THERE is a vast difference be. tween an official who merely looks on his position as means of financial advantage to himself and one whose first object is to perform the duties of his office with an eye mainly to the advan- tage of the general public. Ef- ficiency comes of intelligent effort and careful study of situation, backed by a conscientious en- deavor to render a full measure the service contemplated by the law governing official duties.
