POSTOFF|CE SAFE At
ASHW0OD BLOWN
OPEN AND ROBBED
NEARLY $3.50 TAKEN FROM THE
SAFE AT THAT PLACE BY UN.
KNOWN ROBBERS.
PART OF IT GOVERNMENT MONt !
Between $75 and 500 Belonged 10
Uncle Sam-Both Doors of the
Store Left Open When Thieves Left
With Their Booty.

The postofice of Ashwood was rob
bed Thursday night of SIS to 500 in
money, when unknown robbers blew
open the safe there. They also took
from the safe $145 of the money be-
longing to c. ]. Davis & Co., in whose
store the postofice is run. 10Th
doors OF the building were found un-
locked this morning, when the store
was opened by Mr.. Davis, and the
safe was evidently blown open by
nitro-glycerine.
c. ]. Davis is the postmaster at
Ashwood, and he placed the money
and stamps belonging to the United
States in the safe when he closed the
office Thursday evening. The stamps
were undisturbed, and nothing has
been missed from the safe except the
money.
1t was evident from the fact that
both the front and back doors were
unlocked this morning that the rob-
bers were supplied with key to the
door, and that they were in no hur-
ry to get away. 1t is thought that the
thief may have hidden in the store
during the afternoon, just before the
closing hour, and when all the clerks
had left, could have come out and
blown open the safe. The door was
drilled with several small holes and
the safe was a total wreck.
officers were notified at once of
the robbery, and government detec-
tive will be on the scene as soon as
possible to look for the criminal.
Ashwood is located about six
miles from Columbia, and the office
at that place is under the Jurisdiction
of the Columbia postoffice. A remit
lance of the funds of the Office would
have been made to the Columbia Of
fee Immediately had not the money
been stolen.

Costs You Nothing to Try Stuarfs
 Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Men, as a rule, are first discovered by their enemies. Their antagonists turn on the searcf1light, and the proof of merit will lie in being able to stand the flash. It was only in this way that MT: White ever knew that dyspepsia was one Of MT. Blacks worst enemies.

 MT. White ordered a little of each.' MT. Dyspepsia Black ordered crackers and glass of milk. T had such a big breakfast this morning" he said, company" But MT White could not be deceived; T am afraid you can't stand the gleam, MT. Black Why don't you say you have dyspepsia and be done with it? You'll always have thar hungry look anyhow as long as you have dyspepsia Now listen My stom. ach was in just as bad condition as yours at one time. But now l can eat anything, at any time. For instance, this clam chcw0er or sirloin steak or even the lobster would be just as wei come to my stomach as your crackers and milk. You don't realize how this dyspepsia business is robbing you of your spirit of your energy and ability to think quickly. I can't help notice 1t. You haven't the cheer and sociability you had three months ago. Now I'll tell you what to do," and thereat the cheerful MT. White took a vial from his pocket and extracted wee tablet. There. there is a tablet that contains an ingredient, one grain of which di- gests 5000 grains of food. For even the worst dyspeptic it's the only thing that really gives relief. The reason is it relieves the stomach of nearly all the work it has to do, digests every thing in the stomach and stimulates the gastric juice. I can't get along without them.

 Leads State on Quick Service.

toastmaster ana among those who spoke were District Commercial Mana ger Gray, Manager John J. Hogan, Dis trict Traffic Chief Charles Dow, Chief Operator John c. Darby and James r. Woods for the district plant chief, MT. Mills, who was out of town.
 Among the good things told of the Norwich district was the result of the tests made in the state by the observ- ing boards, showing that Norwich gets high mark for quick service on tele- rhone calls. The observing board tests ara made by locating the board in a rocm away from the operators and keeping watch on each call as to the time required to make each connection, marking the quickness with which op- eratcrs answer calls as well as the ouiekness with which subscribers an- swer the cali of the operator.
 Some of the other cities show quick CT answers to calls by the subscribers, but for general quick service Norwich leads the state. The Norwich service is to be further increased by the in stallation of 500 extra line addition to the switchboard which will be com- rleted this week.
