While wiring nn old frame building
on the corner of 1) and Lighth streets
Friday afternoon the electricians found
nn old deserted robbers' roost that had
not been occupied for several yenrs,
from its appearance. The discovery was
made by cutting into the building from
the gable end. The room between the
ceiling and the roof was well lifted up
with boxes for seats and good wool
blankets for carpets. There were sev
eral boxes which had apparently con
tained goods from some general store,
cigar and tobacco boxes and boot mid
shoe boXivs.
There was a strongbox that was
locked with a heavy lock. The menus
of entrance was through the roof by
a trapdoor, which was ingeniously made'
to lit the shingles, which was opened
by means of a string, leaving no out
ward sign ot entrance. The means of
getting onto the roof was from a low
woodshed that stands in the rear of
the frame store building. Several decks
of playing cards, covered with dust,
were tound. The blankets still had
the under side their trade mark.

Professor M. It. Signs, superintendent
f the M ed ford city schools, was not
compelled by the school board to apol
ogize to tin four students expelled by
him for having playing cards in their
possession, or even to reinstate them.
Mis apology and the reinstatement was
voluntary and the board never acted
linally on the matter. This is the stuto
ment made by the school board today.
Furthermore, the board is unanimous
in asserting that Professor Signs' term
does not extend beyond the present
school year ami that he could not resign
to take effect at the end of the school
year, as he has nothing to resign, not.
having been engaged for another year.
Xo end of a commotion has been
caused ill school circles over the deck
of playing cards found Tuesday on
Willis Denton, Kverett ( 'orey, Walter
and Kmcrsou Merrick. The mutter was
considered by t he board, but t he su
perintendent 's voluntary apology to tho
st udeut s he Imd expelled em ted neces
sity for action.
The members of the school board ex
press themselves an being opposed to
the exhibition of playing cards ill the
stdiool room, but do not regard it nn it
serious enough offense to justify expul
sion. The ipiest ion is, Why d id Professor
Signs resign at the time he did?

In answer to ih.. first question, 1
would like to ink, "Mas tin- moral

of the greatest in the advancement, of

have advamrd hand in hand, and if
hi- stage were a corrupting influence,
how could morality have so flourished
luring this great dramatic epoch?
The fh-t performance of "Othello"
