! KNOBEL BANK SAFE
BLOWN BY BURGLARS.
Nitro-Glycerine Tears Large Safe
Into Fragments—No Money
Secured.
Knobel, Sept. 9.—Burglars en
tered the Bank of Knobel last
night at 11:15 and left it a mass
of wreck and ruins. A heavy
charge of nitro-glycerine tore
the large safe into fragments and
completely demolished the front
room.
There is no clew at this time
: as to who committed the act. No
i money was secured, as the alarm
was given before the money box
Could be opened.
The authorities have been hold
ing a man about 5 feet and 4
inches high, weight 175, light
hair and mustache, gray eyes,
fairly well dressed; carried a
satchel and claims to be a miner.
He left here supposedly for Mem

ELECTION OF POSTMASTER.
. In the latest issue of Mr. Bry
an’s paper, the Commoner, the
suggestion is made that postmas
ters be elected by popular vote
and the following pertinent ques
tions and observations relating
to the present method of appoint
ing those officials are made:
Why should a president be per
mitted to turn the postoffice de
partment into a partisan machine
and have thousands of postmas
ters as paid agents to advance his
political fortunes? He should
not. Why should a metnber of
congress be permitted to build
up a personal organization com
posed of the postmasters recom
mended by him but paid by the
government and use this organi
zation to defeat other congres
sional aspirants in his own parts?
He should not. Why should a
chief executive be permitted to
fill the most frequented office in
the community with a postmaster
objectionable to the community
and reward him for his services
with the money paid in by the
community? He should not.
Why should the “Great Father
at Washington,” as the Indians
call him, be permitted to election
eer among the colored voters of
the north by appointing black
postmasters in the south against
the wishes of patrons of office?
He should not. And yet all these
things are openly and notoriously
done today. The election of
postmasters by the people whom
they are to serve will harmonize
with democratic principles; it is
consistent with the doctrine of
local self government. What ob
jection can be raised to it? Can
a president know the aspirants
more intimately than the com
munity and be better judges of
their qualifications? Is he more
interested than the community
in prompt, honest and efficient
service ? By leaving the appoint
ment, the Removal, and rejection
for cause in the hands of the pres
ident but by restricting appoint
ments to a list furnished by the
community, the rights and inter
ests of both the federal govern
ment and tha various communi
ties can be protected. President
and congressmen will then run
on their own merits and not on
the machines which they built
up; the public service will be
improved and communities will
be protected from the imposl ions
that are now practiced upfen
them._

and he is of the opinion that it
should be used if it can be sup

Mr. Caldwell also is of the
opinion that the -Batesville stone
should be used. He says it is
the best to be obtained, and de
clares that the only drawback is
the seeming inability of the
quarry people to supply it
promptly.

CLERK BOARD OF HEALTH
Of Jacksonville, Fla., Endorses
Pe-ru-na.
C. D. Taylor, Clerk of the City Board
of Health of Jacksonville, Fla., has
occupied that position for the last ten
years. In a recent letter to the Peruna
Drug Mfg. Co., he expresses his approval
of their famous catarrh remedy Peruna
In the following words:
“ The health of the poor of a large city
Is always a question of vital interest not
only to the city officials but to every
citizen. It has been a source of much
satisfaction to me to find that so large a
number of working people in moderate
circumstances have accepted Peruna as
their family medicine. It nas cured a
large number of cases especially of ca
tarrh of the head, lungs and stomach
and building up the general health ii
cannot fail but prove a help and blessing
to any community where it is generally
adopted and used. 1 have found it an
honest reliable remedy and am pleased
to endorse it.”—C. D. Taylor, Clerk,
Board of Health.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
