ral schools. Tho display will bo a most
varied one, and after vejfring It, one

vored country oven though rain does
not fall as frequently as wo desire.
All day yesterday Secretary Sebas
tian and his assistant were kept busy
receiving exhibits, and a dozen men
and women weft) employed in ar
ranging nnd placing them. The first

the work of Platte Valley school pu
pils. There aro many individual ex

in numbers as tho hours pass.

Two stores wore robbed some' time

day morning and the oillcers aro on
tho lookout for the robbers. Property
that can bo Identified was taken from
tho North Sldo hardware store and the
Louden grocery store on tho north
sldo was also robbed of merchandise.
Facts wouhl tend to show that tho
samo robber or robbers did tho three
Jobs that were dono over Sunday. All
three have the appearance of being
done by a man that was not an amo
tcur at tho Job.
The hardware store was cntored
from tho rear window and was robbed
of five revolvers, some ammunition,
two razors) two flashlights and other
small articles. The money drawer
was also opened, but they failed to
find very much there. A marked
nickel that was In tho drawer was left
by tho robber. Tracks discovered yes
terday morning would tend to show
that the robbery was committed Sun
day night, as otherwise tho foot prints
would have been washed away.
Tho Louden grocery store was
entered Saturday night and several
articles were taken. The robbers con
fined thoir plunder at that place most
ly to tobacco, although some other ar
ticles were missing. Every possible
search is being made for the robber
and officers from all around liavo been
cautioned to bo on the lookout If or men
wishing to dispose of revolvers or ra
zors. The robbery of tho hardware
store some time ago was traced down
and the man identified by means of the
revolvers he had with htm.
