1.ynchburg, Va. May 1.-THE post

their escape with about 5000 IN cash
and postage stamps. together with
two registered letters, the value of the
latter being unknown.
The robbery evidently took place
and the perpetrators were able to get
away without leaving the slightest
clue as TO their identity.
The safe OF the Office was blown to
pieces by some high explosive. prob
ably dynamite. and tho contents of
value were carried off.
The explosion somewhat wrecked
the interior OF the Office, but Il was
not sufficient to he noticed on the out
side. for the robbery was not discov-
cred until Postmaster Powell went to
the Office this morning about Z o'clock,
TO begin his days work.
Later II resident OF tho Village re-
ported to Mr.. Powell that no was
aroused during the night by n loud ex-
plosion lie went to the window, but
hs everything WAS quiet after the OK
plosion he concluded there was nothing
ainiss. and he went back TO bed Be
fore doing so, however. he looked at
his watch. and the hour was ten MIN

The robbery was reported by tclc-

The line of demarlkation between

that we hold fast to FIT, while they
hold out for DRAPE.
"The American, unlike the Eng
| lishman, is not content to be a type,
but wants INDIVIDUALITY in his
dress"
Berry suits carry out the in
dividual unit; each suit made
separately-each suit a COM
lplete work in itself of the
Itailor's art.
"A stitch by hand is worth
nine by the machine"
Abundant hand sewing
throughout all Berry suits is
the secret of their lasting sat
isfa action.
You see, making our clothes
as we do in our own New
York workrooms, we have no
object in "skimping" them at
any point.
Why?
Because we sell them to the
wearer ourselves; guarantee
them, and maintain an en-
vlable reputation for value
giving, SO we must have
clothing better than the usual
sort to maintain this prestige.

Strange Freak of Lightning

A young man while riding through
the timber country at willing during
a recent storm had a remarkable es-
cape from death in peculiar circun-
stances. A large tree directly in front
of him was struck by lightning and
split in halves. The horse he was rid
ing, becoming terrified, started to
plunge, and jumped through the gap
between the halves of the tree At
that moment the halves came together
with a snap like a rabbit trap and
crushed off a length OF the horses tail.

the tree. The young man received a.

THEY DON'T like IT.
The Doctors Take Exceptions to
Chiropractor Law.

Late Thursday the members of the
! Kansas Medical society in session in
| Representative hall gave Governor
| George H. Hodges and the Democratic
administration a hot shot. Discussion
of the bill creating a state board of
chiropractors brought forth the I'M
favorable comments.
DR.. F. A. Carmichael of Goodland
in referring to the bill called it "a
most fragrant betrayal of public con-
fidence.'' He further stated:
MANY of the medical fraternity
helped elect the present administra-
ton, believing it would be progressive
in the question of public health. In
stead it did not even support the al
ready efficient board of health, but
tried to destroy It, and really did Grip
pie its efficiency for the next bien-
MUM. We doctors can thank our
selves for this legislation. The aver
age physician is proud of considering
himself a public educator; asleep in
the confidence that the truth ultimate
ly would triumph, we were Supinely
Indifferent to the lobbying that re-
suited in setting the state back years
in raising the standard of health.
"Ostrich-like, we buried our heads in
the sands and made our few efforts
the laughing stock of the session. While
we have been trying for higher stand
ard among the members of the pro-
fession. the chiropractors have CEN
tered their efforts on legislation, pros
titutIng the state by opening the pOr-
tails to a lot of quacks and grafters.''
DR.. J. S. Cumnins of Bronson, said:
81 was a member of the late lament
ed and much abused legislature.
The criticism was justified, most of it,
he admitted. but L claim that none
of it should be directed at me, nor
at the other two doctors among the
law makers.
1.-The men who fought against the
board of health, and against all pure
food legislation, almost without excep-
ton had good reasons for SO doing.
We learned this much, we three dog
tors. Most of them either had been
enincbed, themselves for law Violations
or had relatives that had been. The
better the law the more opposition. A
boad of health that did nothing would
not be fought

tapped for rs years, where great care
has been taken, although after that
time they produced only one half
pound to two pounds of sap. How
ever, if allowed to remain untapped
for a period of five or six years they
will produce from three to five pounds
of gum. Authorities differ in regard to
the average height of the sapota and
the length of time required for its ma
turity, but a general average might be
placed at from 25 to 10 feet, and ma
turity is reached in from 40 to so
years. A tree rs years old and pro-
ducing from 20 to Is pounds of chicle
each year will measure 25 to 80 feet
in height and % inches in diameter.
In tapping the trees a V-shaped in
ciSiOn is cut Spirally all around the
tree, the arms of the cut extending
upward, in order to permit the sap to
flow freely to the bottom, where a
receptacle is placed at the end of the
gully. The sap has the appearance
of milk as it flows from the tree, but
it afterWard takes on yellOwiSh col
or and thickens until it is about the
same consistency as treacle. In this
state the sap averages about eight
pounds to the gallon.
After gathering the sap it is carried
to the boiling sheds, and by a primi-
tive boiling process is brought to the
proper consistency. AS the operation
continues it is necessary to knead the
mass from time to time in order to
extract the water me gum, II prop
erly handled, will take on a light gray
color.
Much of the chfcIe is shipped in
rough, uneven loaVes to the United
States via Canada. where it is refined
and dried out to one half of it's orig
inal weight, thereby saving so per
cent of the duty of 10 cents a pound.
The process of manufacture consists
in simply mixing and boiling the gum,
in copper kettles, to a required con-
sistency, and adding some flavoring
extract, such as vanilla, peppermint,
or wintergreen, and sugar, after which
it is transferred to large centrifugal re-
ceivers. Here it is whipped into a
dough, and afterward removed to ia
bles and kneaded in powdered sugar.
1t is then rolled into Sheets cut to
desired sizes. dried, wrapped by ma
chinery in papers and placed in boxes
ready for the market.-New York

Bryan Myths.

Mr.. w. j. Bryan. the new American
secretary of state, is the most indie
fatigable of public orators. Once, dur
ing one of his candidatures for the
presidency. he made no fewer than
thirteen different speeches in thir-
teen different towns in the course of
a single day, his audiences being COM
puted at about 100000. He was to
have made a fourteenth speech, but
when the time came for delivering 1t
he was fast asleep in the train in
which he was touring. 1t seemed
cruel to wake him; so one of the news
paper correspondents accompanying
him, who happened to bear a close
facial resem blance to Mr.. Bryan, bor-
rowed Mr.. Bryan's SLOUGH hat, person
ated him, and made the speech which
he thought Mr. Bryan would have lik-
ed to make. The reporters took it
down, the newspapers printed it as
Mr.. Bryan's and it was not until after
the campaign was over that the Sc
cret of its authorship was revealed
