ROBBERS AGAIN At
MARSHALL STORE
MAKE A Big HAUL
FOR FUORTH TIME VILLAGE OF
cAMPBELL's STATION Is VIC
TIM OF BURGLARS.
CITIZENS Are MUCH AROUSED
At informal Meeting Funds Are Sub
scribed for Purpose of Discovering
the Perpetrators of Outrages-A
Large Quantity of Goods.

For the fourth time within the past
two years the store house of o. M.
Marshall at Campbells Station was
entered last night and robbed of a
considerable amount of merchandise
and some money. 1t is roughly esti-
mated that some SIS or $500 worth of
goods were taken. About $40 in small
change was also taken by the rob-
bers.
Although the postoffice at Fountain
Creek is located in Mr. Marshall's
store. and there were considerable
stamps and some change in sight al
most they were unmolested. Evident
ly the robbers did not care to get
mixed up with the postoffice inspec-
tors.
There is intense indignation and
much excitement among the people
of Campbells over these repeated out
RACES in that section. There was an
informal meeting this morning in
which a number of the leading citi-
zens were present and considerable
sum of money subscribed to procure
bloodhounds and for ferreting out
the perpetrators of the crime.
In addition to the robberies at the
store of Mr.. Marshall there have been
a number of instances of petty thiev-
cry Several prominent farmers have
| been the victims of nocturnal visits to
their hen roosts. One of the success
| full farmers of the section stated this
morning that five of his pitchforks had
been stolen lately, his apple orchard
had been several times raided and
he did not know how much other
property had been taken.
All these things taken together
have aroused the people to the neceS-
sity of some concerted action to Sc
cure convictions and prevent future
depredations. Campbells Station is
one of the best communities in the
county. The people have such con-
fidence in one another that smoke
houses, store houses, corn cribs and
residences are seldom if ever locked.
The result has been comparatively
easy picking for the thieves.
The robbers last night evidently en-
tered the store some time near mid
night. Some of the residents of that
section heard noises about that time.
The front dods of the store were
priced open and when Mr.. Marshall
reached his place of business this
morning he found things in much
disorder He missed a dozen -or more
pairs of shoes, a large number of
wooden sweaters, probably twenty
pairs of heavy gloves, a lot of over
alls, trousers and coats and small
amount of little things. The cash
drawer containing small change to
the amount of $40 was rifed
Several clues were left by the rob-
bers One was a lantern, another
pocket knife. While there is no proof
against any one the belief seems to
be general that the robbery was per-
petrated by some one familiar with
the surroundings. The dogs from the
penitentiary came down on No. 8 this
morning and Sheriff Goodwin and 9TH
err officers at once went to work. I'M
portant developments are expected.

CCLLEOKAN'S
MAKE SHIPMENT
CATTLE AND HOGS SENT TO
MARKETS FROM SOUTH
END OF COUNTY.

Hickman and Murphy, the stock
dealers of Culleoka, made a shipment
of considerable Importance this
morning, sending out car load of
cattle and carload of hogs.
Both of these consignments were
of the best character of stock, and
will doubtless command fancy prices
on the markets Monday.

ARE MADE.
SPLENDID FINANCIAL SHOWING
Receipts From All Sources Aggre-
gate More Than Ten Thousand Dol
Iars-An Average of Sixty Inmates
in the Home During the Year.

1t was estimated that more than
five hundred persons were fed at the
Tennessee Orphan Home Thursday at
the called meeting of the board of di.
rectors and the reunion of the friends
of the institution, and Columbia again
was made proud of the great work
that is being done there for the I'M
fortunate children. And the hand
ling of this immense crowd with the
facilities, was done in such an order
lily and quiet manner as to attract at,
tention and comment from many OF
those who were in attendance from
a distance
Among those who attended the
gathering were persons from many OF
the states of the South, but Lewis
burg carried away the palm for the
largest delegation with the exception
of Columbia, and the speech of Dr.
Hardison from that place was one
among the most felicitous, practical
and encouraging of the many that
was heard.
Among those who spoke were S. F
Morrow, E. A. Elan, Isaac Hoskins
R. l.. Whitesides, DR.. Hardison, Ell.
der Derryberry and DR.. A. G. Din
widdie. "~a-o@
The report of the treasurer and SUI
perintendent for the year just closed
was the best that institution has had
and was commented upon in the most
encouraging terms. The directors
were well pleased, and these reports
show the institution in a prosperous
condition, and gives evidence of the
fact that the character of the work
being done there under the direction
of the superintendent is encouraging
and attracting support from various
sections
There are now Ga in the. home and
the average for the year has been 60
During the year twenty-one have gone
out from the Home and thirty-three
have come in. The average cost per
child has been $104.96.
During the year there has been no
serious illness in the Home. There
was an epidemic of measles in the
spring, but this was handled so skill
fully that aside from two or three
days of necessary care, no trouble
resulted
At the beginning of the year there
was a mortgage of $4,000 on the
Home This has been reduced out of
the current receipts $4,000, leaving a
balance of $4,000 It was decided
that strong effort would be made by
the directorate and the friends of the
Home to liquidate this at once and
leave the institution free from any
obligation whatever.
The receipts from all sources
amounted to $10,19S.2S, Tennessee
leading the states with $6,747.S4, Ken
lucky, $214.15, Alabama $1S4S9, Mis-
sissippi $31OO, Florida $4,000, Virgin

TELEPHONE HEARING BEFORE
COMMISSION.

The State Utilities commission will
hold public session at the new court
house Friday, May %. The secretary
of the board has asked Manager Bar
nett to give publicity to the hearing
and prepare a suitable place therefor.
The county board has assigned the
public meeting room on the ground
floor of the new court house for the
hearing Manager Barnett will have
the room seated and the public is in
vited to attend.
The question for consideration Is
the petition of the company asking
a revision of rates after the installa-
ton of the new system for the Dodge
City exchange. The petition was sign
ed by a majority Of the patrons OF
the exchange and submitted to the
city commission early in February
The city commission having no sur
veyor competent to make a survey OF
the plant and not wishing to put the
CITY to an expense of a survey, which
would still necessarily go to the state
commission, passed the petition 10
the state board without comment.
Under existing law, the state COM
mission has the authority to increase
and lower rates of public service cor
porations and this hearing is to learn
if the expenditure proposed is .justi-
fled and to fix a rate that will be fan
to the patrons of the service, anu
give the company a Just return on It's
investment.
The proposition of the company Is
to build new and complete exchang
building, put eight blocks Of down.

residence service lines, to install the

NO PENlTENTIARY TwINE UNTIL
FALL.
Probably in Time for the Binding Of
Feed.

Topeka, May 16.-Word was receiv.
ed recently from T. W. Morgan, chair
man of the state board of corrections
that he had purchased the machinery
for the new penitentiary Irvine plant
and that it would be shipped within
a few days. The prison board has Civ.
en- up trying to get the machinery
into place to make some Irvine for the
harvest this year. The machinery now
cannot be installed and ready for op-
GRAFTON before July Is. The plant
will be able to supply all of the Irvine
used in Kansas for the corn and for
age harvests this year as the machin-
cry will be in place and ready for
work before the feed harvest begins,
and the capacity of the plant is suf-
ficient to supply all the Irvine needed
The state has had trouble getting
Irvine machinery. The original plant
was built from old machinery that
had been used in eastern mills. The
mills had been purchased by the twin
trust, or the business had been pur-
chased and the mills were standing
idle. The state bought the machin-
cry. Last year it bought some addi-
tional machinery from one of these
old mills and when the plant burned
it was expected that all the machin-
cry needed for the temporary plant

THE TRUE HOME MAKER.

The following little article, cleaned
from one of our exchanges, contains
a sermon. There's food for reflec-
ton in it for, alas, too many mothers,
and for fathers as we'll, in this fair
land of ours.
A lady received the folliwing reply
from a neighbor in answer to a ques-
ton as to why she allowed her child
rem and her husband to litter up ev-
cry room in the house. The senti-
ment will find Judgement in the
heart of every loving person in the
land.
"The mark Of the little muddy feet
upon the floor can be more easily
removed than the stains where the
little feet go into the highway of sin.
The prints of the little fingers upon
the window pane cannot shut out the
sunshine half so much as the shadow
that darkens the mothers heart over
the one who is but a name in the
coming years. And If my Joe finds
home a refuge from care, and his
greatest happiness within its -four
walls he can put his boots in the
rocking chair and pile his coat on
the floor any day in the week. And
