POSTOFFICE ROB-
Berries NUMEROUS
YEGGMEN CRACK THE SAFE AT
LONG PRAIRIE MON
. DAY NIGHT.
ALBANY TOUCHED LAST Week
COLD SPRINGS ALSO VISITED
=, BANDITS ARE STILL
AT LARGE.

. A number of the Postoffices in vii
lagos in close proximity to Sank Gen.
tire have been tapped by yeggmen dur
ing the past two weeks. First Cold
Springs was visited, then Albany last
Wednesday night, and Long Prairie
Monday evening.
At Long Prairie the safe was
cracked and loot in stamps and cash
amounting to $500 was taken.
The thieves are still at large. 1t is
evidently the work of professionals.
The following is the story of the
Albany robbery as published in the
Enterprise of last week:
"The local postoffice was entered
by robbers sometime after No. B,
Great Northern passenger, came in on
Wednesday night. The thieves broke
into the rear window of the sample
room adjoining the back door of the
postoffice, which they pryed open by
forcing the lock. The letter pouch
was taken.
"The pouch was discovered by
Agent Sauers in box car about nine
o'clock in the morning. Evidences
showed that an attempt was made to
burn the contents as newspaper ashes
were found around the letters and
packages. Postmaster Pallansch was
notified and gathered the remains,
which contained 1853 letters, 80 cir
culars, and "a postals. One special
delivery letter and three common let
tiers were opened and the balance was
not touched, except an insured parcel
marked Handle With Care" was
opened for the valuables but con-
tanned only hair switch. No mail OF
value was lost.
"Upon entering the postoffice on
Thursday morning, Miss Gilmore Pal
lansch, as usual, turned on the electric
light in the lobby and then going to
unlock the door leading into the sam
pie room she noticed it was open and
lalso the window. The tools left by
the robbers were still laying there and
were later identified as the property
of Anton Gruenke.
"The safe was untouched but the
money drawers were pulled out.
Nothing but a few stamps were left
in the drawers but they remained UNI
molested. The floor was Uttered with
tobacco juice. The lock of the pouch
was found on the ground below the
rear window which the robbers came
in. Evidently the lock sprung open
as the pouch was thrown out through
the window. 1t looks as though the
thieves were unaware of this as the
strap on the sack was cut"

OBSERVE PEACE DAY
Interesting Program Will Be Carried
Out At Congregational Church
On Sunday Evening.

President Wilson recently issued
the following proclamation calling for
a national day of prayer, Oct. 4th:
"Whereas, great nations of the
world have taken up arms against
one another and war now draws
millions of men into battle whom the
counsel of statesmen have not been
able to save from the terrible sacri-
fee;
"And whereas, in this as in all
things, it is our privilege and duty 60
seek counsel and succor of Almighty
God, humbling ourselves before Him,
confessing our weakness and our lack
of any wisdom equal to these things;
"And whereas, it is the especial
wish and longing of the people of the
United States, in prayer and council
and all friendliness, to serve the cause
of peace;
Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States of
America, do designate Sunday, the
fourth day of October, next, a day OF
prayer and supplication, and do re-
quest God-fearing persons to repair
on that day to their places of worship,
there to unite their petitions to Al
mighty God that over-ruling the coun-
sci of men, setting straight the things
they cannot govern or alter, taxing
pity on the nations now in the throes
of conflict, in His mercy and goodness
showing a way where man can see
none. He vouch safe his children
healing peace again and restore once
more that concord among men and
nations, without which there can be
neither happiness nor true friendship
nor any wholesome fruit of toll or
thought in the world; praying also to
this end that He forgive us Our sins,
our ignorance of His holy will, our
wilfulness and many errors, and lead
us in the paths of obedience to places
of vision and to thoughts and coun-
sells that purge and make wise"
In accordance with this request ar
rangements have been made for the
holding of union services at the Con-
gregational church Sunday evening at
7:3O. Following a short devotional
service by the pastor, Rev. Brown, the
meeting will be turned over to Asa M.
Wallace to preside. Talks will be
made by Rev. Peter Schaub, Rev.
Brown, DR.. J. A. Dubois, and Hon.
Frank M. Eddy. A splendid male
quartet will furnish special music for
the occasion. The public generally
is cordially invited to assist in max
ing this "Citizens Peace Meeting a
rousing success, and help uphold the
hands of the patriotic president of the
Nation.

SENSATION SPOILED
VIM. K0bler Finds Bones While Ex-
cavating That We're Thought to be
Those of A Human Being.

Wednesday afternoon as VIM. Kob-
Ter was excavating for sceptic tank
on his property South of the G. N.
tracks, he unearthed bundle OF
bones wrapped in what had apparently
been a portion of mans heavy coat.
From the shape of some of the bones
it was thought that they were those
of small infant. They were brought
up town by Mr.. Mcbride and shown to
one of the local physicians. While
some of the very smallest very closely
resembled bones in the ends of the
toes or fingers Of small human be-
ing, the rest Of them were apparently
those of some animal. The physician
said that a four-footed animal would
have bones similar to those in the
toes and fingers in a human body. The
probabilities are that the bones are
the remains of some pet animal buried
a long time ago, instead of some per-
son endeavoring to cover up a crime
committed.

Over two hundred citizens of Sank
Centre and surrounding territory
gathered at the old Grand Opera
House Monday evening for the pur-
pose of organizing Dubois for Con-
gress Club"
The assemblage was called to order
by Asa M. Wallace who stated that
the object of the meeting was to get
behind a worthy home citizen regard
less of his politics, and show to the
people of the district that those who
have known DR.. Dubois longest and
best have the greatest confidence in
his integrity and ability to serve the
people in congress.
There were many old line Republic
cans, Roosevelt Republicans, Prohi-
bitionists, in fact members of all par
ties besides the party with whom the
Doctor has been affiliated with for
the years, in the audience. About SO
ladies were also present.
The Sank Centre band played sew
eral patriotic and lively airs before
the gathering was called to order and
during the progress of the meeting.
J. F. Cooper placed the name of
John N. McGibbon in nomination as
president of the Dubois Club. Mr..
McGibbon is chairman of the Doctors
personal campaign committee, a very
old and close friend, land his selection

BELIEVE IN ADVERTISING.

The Herald notices that its eX-
changes are commenting quite freely
on the large number of mail order cat
alogues that are being received at the
local postofices this fall. One day
recently no less than 26 sacks were
received at the Sank Centre post
office. These concerns know the value
of printers ink, and as the average
country publisher is too loyal to home
business men to sell the mail order
people advertising space, they reach
the people through the catalogue.
These concerns have proven to their
entire satisfaction that advertising
pays big dividends. By the same token
it would appear that the local business
men could do even more effective
work by using the columns of the local
newspaper persistently and intelli-
gently.

Outside Comment

complish for the Nations good. He
did not recognize the present incum-
bent and technical nominee of the re-
publicans as republican from the
fact that in all these years he has
been in congress he has never affiliat-
ed with the party save at primary or
convention time.
Mr.. Eddy paid President Wilson a
glowing tribute and urged the people
Of Sank Centre to stand by the flag
by giving DR.. Dubois, the home candi-
date, their loyal and unanimous sup
port, regardless of party allegiance.
At the close of Mr.. Eddy's address
membership lists were circulated
among the audience and nearly 200
names were secured. The lists are
now at the First State Bank and Mer-
chants National Banks and citizens
from town and country are adding
their names daily. In a short time it
is expected that the membership roll
will pass the 400 mark.
The Herald would urge all citizens
who have not yet signed the member
ship roll to call at either of the banks
above mentioned and affiliate with the
club. If you are interested in the ele-
vationFof Sank Centre man in con-
gress you cannot assist more than by
showing to the outside world that he

ders for any of the other countries
will be accepted for an amount of over
$500, and the department accept no
responsibility whatever for them. In
an order, issued by the postoffice de-
partment at Washington, it is stated
that, until restoration of peace and
normal conditions, persons, who apply
for money orders, should be informed
that the department cannot insure
correct or speedy payment but accepts
such business, subject to delays and
risks incident to the state of war now
existing"
All letters to Germany should bear
5 cents postage.
The foreign mail at the local post
office is being received away late, but
there is not great falling off in the
amount, it being but little under the
amount under normal conditions. All
mail has been opened by the censors
and the flaps stuck inside.

PAINTER DROPS DEAD.

M. Kajose, painter who has been
employed in Sank Centre for several
months by VIM. Diebel, dropped dead
Monday evening about 1890 while
sitting on the porch of the home of
VIM. Bodman, where he was boarding.
The deceased was very heavy drink
er and his death is supposed to have
been caused by acute alcoholism. He
was about so years old. The body
was taken to Halvorson's undertaking
rooms. A brother was finally located
in Minneapolis and he sent an UNDER
taker up from the Flour City after the
remains last evening.

"a meeting is to be held at Sank

Doctor has resided many years in
Sank Centre, and is one of it's most

the citizens of the Centre, where he

feel free of all party obligations for
the reason that there is no Republican

Lindbergh is not Republican in any

his ideas, generally opposed to the
Republican side, and always in oppo-

were in jovial mood. Both were
gray, but each had luxuriant head
OF hair. Near them sat stout party
with shining dome that was almost
destitute of hirsute covering.
The two friends exchanged face

the thinning of the thatch," with
casual references to doorknobs and
billiard balls, much to the amuse-
ment OF the passengers, but to the
evident discontinue of the bald
headed man.
The talk finally developed into an
argument of the cause of badness,
and after considerable jocularity, the
pair turned to the pearly-pated
stranger, and one said:
My friend and have been dis.
cussing the cause of badness, but we
can't seem to agree. Would you
mind telling us what you regard as
the real cause of baldness?"

IoUEEREsT or LIVING THINGS
NaturaiIsts Have About Given Up
Their Efforts to Explain the Turtle
and Its Ways.

According to Macdonald, a Scotch
naturalist of wide repute, the turtle
is the strangest of all living things
and the most unfathomable. He can
live in the water as well MS out Of
it, and can seemingly go for indefi-
nite lengths of time without air or
food OF light.
He is neither fish nor flesh nor
fowl, and yet he has the characteris-
tics of all three. AS for his eating,
it seems quite superfiuous, for he
can remain shut up in barrel for
number of weeks and emerge at
the end Of the time apparently none
the worse for the lack of food and
light and air.
The baby turtle seems also just as
indifferent to its surroundings as its
parents are. AS soon as it comes
forth from its egg it scuttles off to
the sea. 1t has no one to teach or
guide it. In its brain seems inn
planted the idea that until its armor
becomes hard it has no defense
against hungry fish, and so it seeks
shelter in gulf weed and feeds un-
molested until its armor gets hard.
BY the time it weighs 25 pounds,
which occurs the first year, it knows
that it is far from all danger, for
after that no fish. however hungry
or well armed with teeth, can inter
fere. The turtle Immediately with
draws its head into its neck between
the two shells, and all intending de-
'yourers struggle in vain to i'm
