NO TRACE OF

POSTOFFICE INSPECTOR FINDS
YEGGMEN TOOK TOTAL OF
$1,000 in POSTAGE STAMPS.

Doland, S. D.-Thus far, the United
States authorities for South Dakota
have Ia,ieu TO secure n trace OF the
yeggmen who recently entered the
Doland p%ostoffice and escaped with
a quantity of stamps and money. A
postoffice inspector who has COM
pleted the work of checking up the
office that the robbers Sc
cured postage stamps to the value of
about $1,000.
Twenty dollars worth of the stol-
en- stamps have been recovered, those
searching for race of the robbers
having found them beside the rail-
road track about two miles from town
where they evidently had been
dropped by the bandits during thier
fight. The greater part of the re-
covered stamps We're of large denoIn-
nation, only a few being of the one
cent variety. A small sack also was
found near the recovered stamps, this
evidently having been utilized by the
robbers in carrying away the plumb
er.
The robbers blew the safe in the
! postoffice, and this was done in a
manner indicating that the robbers
were experts at safe-blowing. 1t is
feared thai the robbers never will be
captured. as they appear to have COW
cred their tracks remarkably well.

Many pedestrians took occasion yes

Tobin's park is completely under wat

ing at the park the river is more than
a mile wide in a number of places.
While the water is mp to the flooring
of most of the cottages, i is not
thought the houses are in danger OF
being washed from their foundations.
Al Whites mill. the dam is three
or four feet under the level of the
stream. In many places it is almost
impossible to determine where the
channel of the river is. The two wag-
on bridges near Tobin's park are
practically impossible. The west APP

depth of about three feet.

ger Of carrying away the Huh bridge
was thought to be serious.
Two miles south of the Hull bridge
in Blendon township hte bridge over
the Firesteel by the Ole Luglan
place was carried away by the high
water. Several other instances of
small bridges being taken out by the
high water have ben rported.

one mile south of the university, last
evening. Win narly over the bridge,
Mr.. Test noticed that the other APP

side when the bridge went down.
Had the structure gone down with
the wagon, the result might have
been serious.

T. A. Polleys, OF st. Paul, tax COM
missioner for the Omaha railroad. in
a letter to Harry II. Hover. auditor
of Minnehaha county, admits the
right of organized townships and
cities TO levy a road tax on property
within their limits. \ copy of Mr..
Polley's letter was received today by
John M. CHAMPION, auditor of Davi-
son county.
A portion of the letter follows:
Il have, today, more carefully exam
ined Chapter 221 of the laws of 1911.
and Chapter 232. of the laws of 1913.
This later examination indicates 10

provided for in those two recent acts,
is properly extended against all prop

organized into civil townships"
In an opinion given to County
Auditor Champion yesterday, States
Attorney Lauritz Miller ruled that
Dawson county had not the right to
levey a road tax against the property
of the railroad located within the

similarly raised the same question in

SINGERS
REVEL in SONG
FAMOUS GWENT CHORUS GREET
ED WITH LARGE AUDIENCE
LAST EVENING At NJ. IL.
CHURCH.

Twelve golden-voiced singers from
Wales, under The name OF the Royal
Gwent Welsh singers, delighted an
audience which filled the auditorium
of the First Methodist Episcopal
church last evening. Their program
of songs from the classic and mod
ern composers was one OF the must
cal treats of the season.
Despite the fact that the chorus is
nearing the end of a years tour in
America. the members sang with a
dash and precision that gave little
intimation of fatigue. They were
more than really to respond with en-
cores to tie enthusiasm of their
hearers and kept the audience with
interest until the close.
One of the favorites of the eve
ming. w. Gwyinne Jones, appeared
early in the program. With his pei
lucid tenor voice, Mr.. Jones sang
with a clarity and ease that made
his 81 Hear You Calling a delight
to the ear. His response, "Macushla,"
showed that the Welsh can sing Irish
songs with d favour of the Emerald
isle.

Presbyterians Observe Day.

The services at the Presbyterian
church. yesterday were in harmony
with the beautiful day provided by
nature. At each service the church
began to fill early and by the time
the services opened the seating. cap
acity was taxed. In the evening extra
chairs had to be provided. Both pro-
grams were carried out as announc-
ed and every part fitted in beauti-
fully with the harmonious whole. The
music Of the day was of excellent
quality and was the best ever pro-
vided in the church. The chorus
work under the able leadership of
IL. A. Williams vas most excellent.
AT the morning hour the chorus sang
two numbers and in the evening
four numbers The special numbers
were of unusal merit. Miss Florence
Charlesworth sang the morning solo,
and her clear sweet voice gave the
words of the selection an added
charm.
In the evening, the duet by the
Misses Charlesworth was also a most
pleasing number. Two other spec
ial numbers were provided in the
evening. Miss Anna Bruce singing

10 accompaniment in a most pleas
ing manner. The solo. "Hosanna"
sung by Mrs. w. G. Brackett. accom-
panied by Mrs. r. c. Raines. was
one of the best numbers of the day
and her splendid voice delighted all
who heard her.
The instrumental numbers played
by a trio composed of II. w. Peter
sen. violin, III. b. Ripsom, cello, and
Mrs. Henry Snyder, piano, provided
three extra numbers at each service
that were heartily received. The num-
bers were we'll chosen and were play
ed with just the right expression.
Special credit is due Mr.. Peterson in
this work for his splendid leadership
Altogether the services OF the day
will long be remembered as a red-let-
ter occasion by the many who en-
loved the excellent programs.
