Postoffice Safe at Arden Blown

The safe in the posoffice at Arden, o'clock Sunday morning and $400 talk en, beside a quantity of stamps. The money was postofice funds, which had been kept in the safe as it had been taken in from time to time from the sale of stamps.
 The sheriff of Sevier county was notified and arrived from De Queen early Sunday morning. He took a pair of blood hounds with him and they started on the trail, but up to noon Sunday the robbers had not been located.
 The safe is comparatively small iron safe, and was easily blown open by the charge of nitroglycerin. The robbers are not believed to be eXperi- enced '.yeggs," as they did not blow the door off by "soaping' the cracks between the door and the safe, but hammered off the combination and poured the charge of nitroglycerin into the opening thus made. This broke off the tumblers and forced back the bolts so that it was not difficult to open the door,.
 The postoffice is located in general store. but nothing in the store appar- ently was taken. The robbers evident ly desired nothing but stamps and cash. It is supposed that they were railroad hoboes, who went through there on the Arkansas and Louisiana and decided to blow the safe in the postoffice.

Another Insane Asylum Is Asked.

The Board of Trustees of the State Charitable Institutions concluded it's meeting at Little Rock Tuesday, after adopting the biennial report in re- gard to the State Hospital for Ner- vous Diseases and awarding the con- tracts for the months supplies for the charitable institutions.
 In its biennial report the board rec ommends that the law providing for the lighting of the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases by the plant operat- ed at the penitentiary be repealed; that a central heating plant be in stalled at the institution with suffi- cient power to operate an electric lighting plant. The board states that for the year ending September 30, 1907, the amount paid to the pen itentiary for lighting the institution was $3,255.S0, and for the year end ing September 30, 1908, the amount paid was $5,228.S1, a total for the two years of $8,484.61. The necessity for some relief in this direction is pointed out by the board by recalling the fact CiietI liO iIOiIS Ol luCl anu u0oC Iol 'iAS intitution for the past two years have amounted to $40,59695.
 Attention is called to the crowded condition of the institution and the necessity for the establishment of another asylum. The board recom- mends additions to the present institu- tion or the establishment of a new one in some other portion of the state. The board suggests that another in stitution in some healthful locality, built on the cottage plan, with sew eral hundred acres of good agricul- tural land adjoining, to which could be assigned the chronic insane and the epileptic, might be made largely self supporting, and at the same time be greatly beneficial to the patient.
 In view of the prevalence of tuber- culosis among the cows from which the supply of milk for the institution has been obtained, the board recom- mends that the legislature appro- priate $5,000 for the purchase of new herd of cows of the very best class, all to be examined thoroughly by a competent veterinarian and subject to the tuberculin test before they are paid for. The destruction of the old barn is recommended and that the premises be thoroughly disinfected before the new herd of COWS Is placed upon them.
