Safe Blown Open.

At 1. Is O'Clock Thursday
Morning sleepers in the vicinity
of the Louisiana & Arkansas
railroad depot were aroused by a
dull report. An inspection showed
that the safe of the Southern
Express Company, whose office
was located in the l.. & A. depot,
had been blown open and literal
ly wrecked. The front door had
been blown into fragments, and
pieces of the iron hurled across
the room blowing a hole in the
west wall and breaking a portion
of the ceiling.
The safe stood in the North
east corner of the room near a
door. The robbers effected an
entrance by prying open 4 win
dow on the west end of the build
ing with pinch bar. Their work
and the success of their efforts
indicated that they were experts
in the business. Mr.. p. T.. Aus
brook, the Express agent, says
he is unable to- state the loss until
the Auditor cheeks up the boo ks.
He dose not state that it was any
considerable amount. He had
taken the precautlon. on Wednes-
day as he frequently did. of send
ing a package to another point
for safe keeping. that contained
$400. The debris OF the safe was
scattered across the floor indicat-
ing the use of a heavy charge of
dynamite or other powerful ex-
plosive.
Blood hounds were at ounce
telegraphed for from Ruston and
no one permitted to approach the
safe IN the hopes of getting the
trail of the bold robbers and
securing their arrest. Evidently
the same robbers committed a
burglary at Calvin on Tuesday
night. Before the Sentinel went

The Fire Company.

The Fire Compan, held their
regular monthly meeting in the
City Council chamber last Monday
night with their usual good atten-
dance. No little excitement had
been created during the day when
It had been learned that the room
In the City Hall used for the fire
apparatus had been leased for a
restaurant, in conformity to a
resolution adopted by the City
Council to lease the vacant stalls
ln the market house, placing such
power IN the hands of Councilman
Geo. 2. Long and Market Master
y. U. Payne. There was vigor-
GUS protest against such action by
the Fire Company and no little
indignation expressed at the lack
Of recognition of the organization.
The meeting calmly and dis
passionately discussed the matter
and finally adopted a resolution
to appoint a committee To confer
with the City Council or their
authorized representative in this
matter, as to permanent head
quarters for the company, and to
adjourn until Monday, March Is.
Chief Gibbs appointed on this
committee Will II. Tunnard, D.
u. Payne and A. A. Moss.
Since the above aplicle was
written, it has been learned that
at an informal meeting of the
City Council, held on Tuesday,
the sentiment was expressed and
approved that the department of
the City Hall expressly built and
set apart for fire apparatus, viii
be placed at the disposal of the
members of the WINFIELD Fire
Company, and such other power
as may be necessary will be vested
in the company. The existence
of an efficient fire organization
concerns every citizen who carries
any insurance on his property, as

to press Thursday afternoon, it
was impossible to learn the result
of the attempt to catch the
burglars. This is the bOldest
robbery that has ever occurred in
this place and created no little
excitement.
Later. The amount of booty
secured by the robbers amount To
about 5000. Four hounds arrived
here just before noon on the Rock
Island railroad. They were at
once taken to the l.. & AZ. and
put on the trail of the robbers
and followed it eastward below
the l.. X. & n. depot. 1t is
hoped that the burglars have
gone through the woods, not
expecting such close pursuit and
may be caught before they take
some train on one of the several
railroads leading out of this place.

PROHIBITION AT MARION.
Immediate Benefit Is Noticeable

Marion, January 4.-(Special. )-The first Saturday under the prohibition law brought marked change in affairs at Marion and surrounding territory. From to 5000 negroes can been seen in Marion any Saturday. While the dispensary was open they stood in large groups on vacant lots and drank throughout the day and until o'clock at night; in many instances they were boisterous and required ad- ditional police protection to maintain or der.
 Last Saturday night they had all gone from town by good dark, and reports along the public roads says they were quiet and the rowdyism and swearing heard on the home road of so many had ceased.
 Merchants in town reported an increase in cash sales as well as a more orderly class of customers
 The greatest material demand for pro- hibition in this section was for the bene- fit of the negro, and 1t is gratifying to know that as race a change for the better is so noticeable in the very begin ming of the year.

Sev- eral of the farmers will begin work this week to cut and distribute the necessary poles. The line will be erected under the supervision of G. c.

Nervous Collapse

"I have travelled for thirty years continually. I lost a great deal of sleep, which together with constant worry left me in such a nervous state that finally, after having two collapses of nervous prostration, 1 was obliged to give up travelling all together. I doctored continually but with no relief. Dr. Miles Nervine came to my rescue-I cannot describe the suffering which this Nervine saved me. Whenever I am particularly nervous few doses relieve me-" . A. c. C. LIBBY, Wells, Me.
 There are many nervous wrecks. There is nervous pros tration of the stomach, of the bowels, and other organs. The brain, the kidneys, the liver, the nerve centers are all exhausted. There is but one thing to do- build up the nervous system by the use of Dr. Miles Restora- tive Nervine. Its strength ening influence upon the nerv- ous system restores normal action to the organs, and when they all work in harmony, health is assured. Get bottle from your druggist. Take it all ac- cording to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money.
