■ Robbed the Post-Office at Linn Wrote. ■ Last Friday night some person broke into the postoffice and drug store of B Oscar Anderson, of Linn Grove and B secured about MOO of the funds of that B office, the most of it being money order B funds. Mr. Anderson, who lives on a B farm had left the postoffice in charge ■ of his brother. The first suspicion B pointed to a tramp that was seen in the B neighborhood, but when arrested he B had no trouble in showing where be . stayed that night, so that up to this B* time they have no clew. The amount B is more than the salary of the office for B one year There will be a thorough inI vestigation so that there will be but | little doubt but what the thief will be ■ brought to justice. ■ Knight* of the Maccabees. ■ The State Commander writes us from B*. A Lincoln, Neb., as follows: “After trying ■ other medicines for what seemed to be a I . very obstinate cough in our two children ■ we tried Dr. King's New Discovery and at I the end of two days the cough entirely left I them.

He received his education in the schools of this county and the High school of this city. He afterwards started in business at Curryville with E. Plank, in general merchandise and grain, where he was engaged until the time of bis death, which came with but a short warning. He was in Decatur on business and started for home, stopping with bis uncle. Edward Leßrun, where the messenger came that called film to the world beyond. He was taken with the grippe and it resulted in congestion of the brain, so that in four days from the time he was taken sick he bad crossed the river beyond. He was a bright, active young man, always readv for any emergency that might arise. The funeral was held at the U. B. church in this city, and was one among the largest that has been witnessed here for a long time. It was conducted by Company B. 4t.h regiment, State Legion, of which deceased was an honored member. His parents and many friends desire to return their sincere thanks to those who so kindly assisted them, for the kindness shown them during his sickness'and funeral.

She was a devoted wife and a kind neighbor always ready to lend a helping hand to the sick and needy. She was a member of the U. B. church quite a number of Sears.
