Tuesday night. about I2 O'Clock,
while Marshal Sullens was making
his rounds, trying windows and doors,
he heard scme one run across the
Krauss stores, apparently in his bare
feet, and so he decided to examine
further, and at the rear he found
loose window, and could hear some
one inside. He went over to Stover's
store and woke him up, and as soon
as dressed they went back to the
krauss store, and the Ma,shal, leav-
ing Slower, with his rife, to guard
outside, raised the window and went
after the burglar, or burglars, he
didn't know, or seem to care how
many OF them. After getting in and
calling on MIR. Burglar to come
across, one of them did cross the
light and Claud blazed away at him,
unfortunately missing him, breaking
a plate glass window in front. Then
they decided to give up, and lining
the two up in the light Stovel
searched them, but nothing more
dangerous than razor and pocke
knives were found. Then Sherii
Williams and Mr.. krauss were callet
up, and the prisoners tagen to Jail

she could manage, fell down stairs

times, fshed out Of the fish pond

Quick Work and A Good Catch.

Mr.. Krauss had called up Arthur

store where Marshal Sullens found
the third man hid under a counter,
so badly scared he had not even tried
to get away. He was searched,
nothing dangerous found on him.

Mox Joachimi, talking of the burg.
larry at the krauss store Wednesday
morning, says it is just new industry
recently organized, a new trust or
monopoly. A gang, like the three
sent to Versailles, size a town up,
and if they find store with a larger
stock than seems their trade would
justify, or better grade of goods
than necessary for the class of custom
ers. they gather up what they readily
Can get away with, take it to another
town and dispose OF it at about IS
cents on the dollar, thus keeping
down the cost OF high living and keep
ing the stock of goods more evenly
distributed. 1t is mighty lucky for
Mox that they haven't started in on

SCHOOL LIFE OF CHILDREN.
Alabama Educator Talks on Their
Proper Care at Church.

Declaring that ''if education is life. the
school process must be life-giving, never
ife-taking" Mrs NJ. l.. Johnson. principal
of the School of Organic Education at
Fairhope, Ala. last night at the H Street
Christian Church, on II street near Az
street southwest, lectured on the proper
care of children during their school life
Mrs Johnson said that If conditions in
the schools were such as to subject chill
dren to nerve strain. eye strain. to i'm
peril the childs health in any way. the
conditions must be changed. as the proper
function of the school is to provide such
exercises and occupations as will pre-
serve and perfect the entire organism of
the child.
IF the brain cells and nerve centers
are not strong enough to engage safely
in the work Of reading and writing before
nine ten years of age said Mrs.
Johnson, 1.-The school must provide other
occupations at six seven which will
develop the organism, and leave the more
formal work until later.
The child should have a motive for
his work. He cannot have a true motive
when required to study things in which
he has no interest. Working for grade
or a mark or to be promoted. or sim
ply to please those in authority. without
real interest in the result. is weakening
to the will power"
