Circular Issued to Directors.

County School Superintendent Sho-
walter has issued circular directed to
school officers, urging them to the per-
formance OF certain duties. One is to
exercise special care to enumerate every
child over five and under 21 years OF
age residing in each district. The new
revenue laws will give considerable more
money per child, SO it is importent to
get all on the rolls. Directors are di-
rected to use care in the selection of
teachers. "If you have a good teacher, y
says the county superintendent, "employ
her again if possible if not look for a
good one early before the best have
found schools elsewhere" Every district
is urged to have nine months school if
possible. Do not send special levies be-
fore the 1st Of June. New school laws
will be ready for distribution about the
lst OF June.

SAFE CRACKERS GET
BUSY WITH DYNAMITE
Bank and Postoffice at Elberton
Looted of Cash.
Cracksmen Evidently Old Hands at
the Business Safe and Contents
Are Insured Robbers Escape by
Team and Railroad Velocipede.

Under date of April 26 dispatch from
Elberton tells of the bank and postoftice
robbery at that place the night previous:
Robbers looted the postoaice and dyn-
amited the vault of the A. K. Metz bank
in the same building, at 2 O'Clock this
morning, secured 800 OF the postal
funds, which were inside the bank vault,
and made their escape without being
seen.
Although a number OF residents in the
town heard the explosions they made no
effort to investigate, and it was not
until morning that the robbery was dis
covered.
The vault door was blown off and also
the outside door of the safe inside the
vault, but the force OF the explosion
iammed the door to the strong box in
the interior, in which the bank funds
Cover $2OOO) were deposited, and it is
believed the robbers failed to open it, &C
cording to George Penn, now in charge
of the bank for Mr.. Metz, who is i'll at
his home with scarlet fever.
1t is believed two men we're implicated
in the robbery, and they are supposed to
have driven to Elberton from Garfield
with buggy and team taken from the
stable OF William Cox, which was found
early this morning tied near the Inland
depot.
They made their escape from Garfield
on a railroad velocipede stolen from the
Northern Pacific section foreman, but
whether they left over the Inland, the
Northern Pacific or the 0. r. L n can
not be determined, as no trace of them
since they left Garfield can be discovered
Sheriff Carter and Deputy Sheriffs Ro-
tan and Cole Of Cofax and a number OF
special deputies from towns in the vicin-
ity are on their trail, and the officers in
every direction have been notified.
The cracksmen were evidently old
hands, for they made their preparations
with a deliberate thoroughness that
marks them as professionals. In order
to facilitate their escape they cut the tel
egraph wires near the Elberton depot
and smashed the Instruments before at
tecking the bank, as the Spokane opera
tors discovered the break at 1:20 q. m
Sheriff Carter telephoned to CoIfax
this afternoon that the bandits did not
leave Garfield until after O'Clock this

County Seat Is Good No Room

Last Saturday the streets OF COlfax
presented metropolitan appearance.
Crowds lined the sidewalks, the stores
were filled, business was moving. The

business conditions in CClfax are not as

pessimist is always around. Flush times

the least lull in business conditions, the
least manifestation of curtailing ex penses

Our Diaries Are All Riaht.

F. H. Bothell of Spokane, deputy state
dairy and food commissioner, was in
Colfax last Friday inspecting the dairies
of this district. 1t is agreeable to report
that he found everything in and around
Coliax above the average. There is
room for Improvement, however, but the
dairymen have promised to make the
Improvement. Mr.. BothelI tested the
specific gravity and butter fat, and with
one exception found them all right. In
the exception noted the specific gravity
was little low, although the fat con-
tents was high. This work ia being done

heading this way The horses started
to run, and Notwithstanding Daley is a
heavyweight and an expert horseman,
he could not hold the animals the result
being that he was throw n out OF the
buggy, receiving a few bruises and was
badly shaken up. After Daley WAS
spilled out Hamilton jumped, not think
ing it safe to stay longer in the vehicle.
The horses ran fully two miles before
they were caught, parties who saw the
accident taking after them on horseback.
Strange to say no damage was done to
the rig or to the horses. Daley was
llmping around for several days, but
lives to run another day.

orderly fashion in which they arrived.
the times are not disiointed, business
must be in healthy condition, the peo
pie are prosperous.
Still we find business men in COlfax
who say farmers and their families come
to town but they spend no money. In
the face of every manifestation such a
statement ia an absurdty. There is a
difference between spending money and
throwing money away. Business condi-
tions we're never in more healthy con-
dition in Colfax. There is no room for
the alarmist.

Later DEVELOPMENTS,

Since the above was in type we have a
lew additional particulars to offer. The
safe rified was Diebold, made of the best
manganese steel, weighing probably 1900
pounds. 1t was enclosed in a vault. The
knob OF the outside vault door as
knocked off or broken by a sIedge ham
mer and then jimmy used to pry the
door open. These tools were stolen from
near by shop. The inside door of the
vault was opened by charge OF nitro
glycerine. Once inside the vault the sale
was attacked. At least two charges Of
nitro glycerine were used to demOlish the
outside door Of the safe, but the inside
door, which protected the gold in the
bank, resisted the attempts to demolish
it, although at least two attempts we're
made to wreck it with nitro-glycerine
In the outside apartment, on shelves. was
about 500 in silver and many valuable
papers. About $40 of this money be
longed to the postoffice, the balance to
the bank. The papers, of course, were
torn and scattered and their loss is really
more discOuraging than the loss of the
money. The robbers took the money in
sight, evidently leaving in haste An g..
ounce bottle OF nitro-glycerine was found
near the sidewalk next morning.
The inside door of the safe was opened
by John f. Davis of Portland, agent for
the Diebold safes in that city, who hap
pened to be in Dayton and hearing Of
the robbery came over. The safe is a
wreck and Mr.. Metz is negotiating for a
new one. 1t should be stated that the
safe and contents. barring the money be-
longing to the pOstoffice, was fully in
sured, so Mr.. Metz loses nothing, al
though Uncle Sam is out $40.
At this writing the sheriff's office has
nothing to give ont. 1t is said the
sheriff and his deputies are pursuing a
still hunt, hoping to bring the robbers,
who are undoubtedly professionals, to
bay in the near future.

The hypersthenic subject is always on its verge. while the neurasthenic be- comes infuriated only by a sudden bound of reaction excited from with out But at that moment when they are let loose the two are alike, save that the strong man is a binder brute, while the weak man is some what of an actor and seems to aim at effect
 Prof. Lange, of the University of Copenha gen, holds that ''all emotions are due to disorders of the circulation of the blood. and anger, in particular, to very intense dilation of the small arteries of the brain" He describes redness and swelling of the face as constant sign of anger, forgetting the white rage" which is so frequent and impressive
 But he has brought into strong re lief this capital fact-that anger Is a state of general Representation.

Miss Hobson was most popular with the two young and unmarried mem bers of Centreville's school board. They did not propose to have any change of teachers in District Number Three.
 Do you think Miss Hobson pays quite enough attention to discipline?' suggested one of the elderly, married school committeeman one day.
 Discipline, Why, of course she pays great deal of attention to it," as serted Ed Porter, hastily.
