pniling six or seven students rooms
in the Burr a Burton Seminary in
lirstclass condition. The suggestion
is based on the argument that a. q
community we net IN fall oar obliga-

~ they may see best. That the stud
ent rooms OF the Seminary stand in
great need Of repairs Is beyond qnes-
tion, and this Institution should receive
our generous support. since il Is the
only high school within a radius OF 30
miles. The donors Of the money are
invited to freely express their opinions
TO Rev. Vincent Raw, who is treasurer
OF the fund.
Our usually quiet yillago was much
perturbed last Thursday morning to
find that during the night Of Wcdnes-
day thieves had entered the stores Of
Coy a. Mcclure and lard's drug store.
In the former place they found about
$500 in small change and in the latter
about 800. Coy 4 Mcclure contribut
ed a light lunch aud we presume that
they RECALLED themselves with some
soda water at the Drug Store. Then
they went down the street and took a
bicycle belonging to Clarence Kinney
and went on their way. This act soon
became noised about town and then
those who are troubled with nerves"
commenced to see and hear all sorts OF
things and the village officials were
kept rather hot footed for several
nights. j. ID. Wright claims TO have
had peculiar experience with the
burglars but we think he must have
frightened them away. Friday morn.
ing three tramps were arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Convey and locked up
in the Jail. In the afternoon they were
closely questioned and allowed to
depart as there was nothing TO show
that they had any connection with the
affair at all. The village authorities
have had patrolmen on nights for
several nights but have not been able
to find any cause for alarm. Ii there
are any people about town who need
experimenting we believe that no effort
should be spared in bringing them to
justice, but we think that an over
wrought imagination is the cause of
most of the trouble. Keep cool and
don't shoot until you can see the whites
Of their eyes.
