limantic, Conn., was called upon In the
courthouse here Tuesday to administer
the last rights OF the church to the
man he charged had feeced him out OF
$4,000 and when he was suing for that

Father DeBruycker's suit was being
tried before Judge Wheeler, and the de-
tendant, Anthony Elum, q Boston
broker, was telling of Investments the
priest had made with him in a West
ern mining proposition, when he col
lapsed- Physicians who were sum-
moned said Elum might die at any mo-

thought, could not be reached in time.
When Father DeBruycker heard this

OF the man he accused, give abaolIi

Elum recognized the priest and asked
Father DeBruycker to shrive him. Soon

RICHMOND SALOON is
ROBBED FOR THIRD TIME

r I c II M OND, VAS p e ecial.-
For the third time in four
weeks the saloon and cafe of
William kTOuSe, located at IL
West Broad Street, was entered
during the wee Sma' hours of
Wednesday morning and the cash
register robbed of 50 in currency.
For some reason the yeggmen left
a nest egg of about 81 in change.
The perpetrators of the job, as was
the case in two former instances, left
absolutely no clew to their identity.
The most puZZling feature of the
robbery lies in the fact that, as far as
outward appearances would indicate,
the yeggmen entered neither by the
several windows.
picked. In fact, the modus operandi
of the burglars is wrapped in SEEM
ingly impenetrable mystery, and,
judging from the fact that the police
were unable to turn a trick" on the
two previous cases, the sleuths are
apparently stumped.
The robbery of yesterday morning
was discovered shortly after the sa-
loon opened for business at o'clock.
AS the place Is open until midnight,
the yeggmen, If such they might be
classed, presumably got in their fine
work after the clock had struck IL.
Upon locking up at night 1t has
been Mr.. Krouse's custom to leave
several dollars in change in the cash
register, the drawer OF which recep-
tacie he In wont to leave open as a

precautionary measure. This is done
in case the place Is robbed. 1t at
least saves the yeggmen the trouble
OF smashing the register.
Several weeks ago the place was en-
tered and the cash register rified in
practically the same manner. on this
occasion, however, the miscreant left
neucleus OF 81. Previous TO this the
place was robbed OF about $14, and
each time the robbers CONSIDERABLY
took only a portion OF the contents.
The various robberies have, in turn,
been reported to the police, who, how
ever, seem to be baffled.
When seen by Journal reporter
this morning Mr.. Krouse could offer
absolutely no explanation as to the
manner in which the burglars enter
ed the place. He himself is sorely
puzzled and says he would give some
thing pretty to learn how the trick
has been turned three times I'm the
past four months. Why the burglars
should always leave a balance is hard
to divine.

superintendent Eggleston, of the
Department Of Public Instruction, said
today that there was a misunderstand-
lag as to what had taken place in
the meeting of the State Board of
Education last evening. True, the
matter OF regulating the certificates
issued by the colleges and the schools
which are Of the grade between the
colleges OF recognized standing and
the high Schools, occupied a good
deal OF the time of the board, but the
discussion was wholly friendly. and in

matter at great length, and they
agreed on the end desired, but the de-
termination Of the method whereby
this could be reached was the matter
which occupied the time of the board.
The discussion was general. all the
members participating and there was
nothing to indicate that anything but
harmony obtained.
There is little doubt Of the fact that
the Doaru, IN holding It's sessions be-
mind closed doors, is itself RESPONSE
bic for the impressions which have
obtained currency.
The doors are shut and TODAY thev
were locked when a reporter for The
journal tried to gain admittance. Mr.
Eggleston said today that there had
never been an issuance of certificates
by the examiners, which was not en-
dorsed and approved by the State
Board of Education and under the
direction of the board. In that re-
spect there has been no change. and
there is likely to be none, save that
the classification Of the certificates will
be determined.

Two weeks ago, state candidate
sent us So, and notice of his candidacy
for state Office. 1t was not really
sufficient to pay the bill as ordinary
advertising is paid at regular rates but
we published the card because we are
quite sure that he had paid all he could
afford for the service rendered. Now if
he sent similar announcements to every
paper in the stare-as be should do.-
than what with postage, other expenses
and S2 to each he would expend about
$1,000 which would be a large share of
one years salary for one insertion of
his card in each paper in the state.
While this is but one item of his ex-
pense in political campaign, it is in

but what it will benefit you compared
with the cost. is the question for you to

business men of Cavalier, but last

yet Bro. Farchild is fighting for the
county seat as though he had the busi-
ness men of Cavalier behind him. 1t is
quite evident that the business men of
Cavalier are not in favor of the removal
of the county seat. In fact, as ever

happened to go to heaven soon, the
county seat agitation would be transfer

.ExcEss MILEAGE" SAVINGS.

The Cavalier Chronicle and the Caya-
lier county seat removal boomers ali rel
terate to the listening taxpayers the won
derful and extraordinary expense to
which the taxpayers of the county are
put because it is farther from the west
ern part of the conuty to Pembina than
it is to Cavalier. Scarcely an issue of
the Chronicle for the last six weeks but
has made the statement that "the saw
ing in the excess mileage alone would
build new court house at Cavalier in
twenty years." Now the extreme excess
mileage that anybody from anywhere
could claim from the county for an off.
cial trip to Pembina over Cavalier is
twenty five miles. That is coming and
going SO miles, which at 5 cents mile
would make $3.50 excess. But as half
the people of the county are about as
near Pembina as they are to Cavalier
the extra $3.50 is confined to The jour
neyings of the other half alone. A mo-
ment's figuring with pencil and paper
will show that if each and every voter
who could thus collect $3.50 came to
Pembina once every year for twenty
years the saving would be less than
S75,0O. But of these 1900 voters, not
more than 100 come yearly to the coun
ty seat on necessary business connected
with the court house. Any voter can
verify this by simply asking himself
how often he, himself, has been required
by business to come to the court
house at Pemblna, and then ask him
self the same question about his neigh
bors.
Why, talk of excess mileage when
$4,000 pays for a million miles of legal
travel! According to the. figures given
elsewhere in this paper it wou d
require a saving Of more than 4,OOO,NO
miles Of ''excess mileage or sc, 600
trips at $3.50 each from the western
part Of the county to save $500, ,O0O-a and
