DARING ROBBERY AT EARLY HOUR YESTERDAY MORNING TAKES PLACE AT rouniAui CITY. WOOLMAII & THOMAS' SAFE Is Dynamited and Fifty Dollars SecuredThieves Were Experts. (Special to the Palladium.) v Fountain City, Dec. 9. This peace ;ul little town was startled this Xfiorning to learn of a daring and successful robbery of a safe in the "roeery store of Woolman & Thomas. The robbery is believed to have occurred about two or three o'clock this morning and there is not a clue or a suspicion as to who the thieves are. The robbery is believed to have been the work of experts for the "job" was done in a neat and skillful manner. The robbers entered the store by breaking in the glass in the front door, and after gaining admittance this door was unbolted, probably to make escape easy in case of detectives. The door of the safe was next dynamited, blowing it all ovar the room, but so skillfully that not a soul in the village heard a sound. Mr. Thomas stated this afecnoon that about $50.00, including 600 poinies and $10.00 worth of old coins, .was taken and $25,00 mostly in silFver, left on the floor. This gives rise .to the suspicion that the store was saved from farther pillage because the thieves evidently thought they heard some one coming and i'i iheh haste to escape left the money lying on the floor. No strangers were seen in or about the town Thursday and no resident of this place is suspected so the officers are at a loss howto proceed with the case. Several people this morning reported that at an early hour before day break they heard a horse and buggy pass through the town, going at a fast pace. The impression among some is that the robbery 'was committed by two or more people who drove into the city after midnight, committed the crime and then drove rapidly away. .. Sullivan to Box Andrews.

MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION HOLD MEETING IN NEW ROOMS IN MASONIC TEMPLE MERCHANTS' INSURANCE Program Advertising Put on the V Black List An Interesting Meeting. The members of the Merchants' Association held a very enthusiastic meeting in the association's rooms in Masonic Temple last night. Secretary Scott, who recently assumed his position was introduced to the members of the association and a number of the merchants became acquainted with him. The question of advertising claimed a large part of the time last evening. As a general thing the merchants do not approve of outsiders coming to Richmond and giving an industrial history of the city, but the association thought that a history prepared by local people and giving a correct account of the different industries of the city was all right. The question of merchants' insurance was also brought before the meeting and discussed at great length. The new plan of insurance will lesson the cost to the merchant for insuring his stock about 40 per cent. The merchants decided not to give advertising to any lodge to be used in an entertainment program. Several lodges at the present time have plans under consideration to give entertainments during the win ter and the merchants desire to have an understanding about the matter of advertising in the programs for these events before the advertising solicitors are put to work.

PHYSICAL CULTURE COMPETENT MAN TO TAKE CHARGE OF ATHLETICS 'RESIDENT R. L. KELLEY Makes a Statement in Regard to the New Position Requirement for Graduation. Earlham College will have a phy sical culture instructor next year. The director of this department will be a man competent to take charge of all of the athletic work of the -chool. For the past two years the members of the faculty and the student body have been discussing this question and yesterday morning 'resident Kelly gave out a state ment to the effect that at the be ginning of the school work next fall a physical culture instructor would be connected with the school. It is nobable that the gymnasium will al so be improved, this together with a eader in athletic work will do much o increase the interest of the stu dents in athletics of all kinds. The statement of President Kelly was as follows: "At the beginning of next year, Earlham will have a permanent phy sical director. He will be a man ompetent to take charge of all forms of athletics and also will serve as a director of the physical culture classes in the gymnasium. Moreover he will be a man thoroughly ac quainted with athletics as they are aught and played in Eastern coleges. I am not at liberty to give t i ? out Jus name .lust now. out it nas een definitely decided that he will )e here next year. "This action is the result of sev eral years' deliberation on the part of the faculty and board of trustees. They have had the matter under consideration and one of the principal drawbacks has been the lack of room in the gymnasium. "The college has taken steps to arouse interest in physical culture and with this end in view has made work in the gymnastic classes worthy of credits. Prof. E. P. Trueblood has charge of the boys' classes and Miss Marshall directs the girls' classes. Next year physical culture work will be made one of the require ments for graduation and will be just as much a requirement as any of the other subjects in the college curriculum." U. B.
