Independence, Feb. 27. The post
office was broken into this morning
after 3 o'clock and over $600 was se
cured ; tho amount of cash was $212.95,
and stamps $400. An entrance was
made by taken out a window pane in a
rear room, and then a panel of the door,
thus giving admission to the ollice.
The tools were stolen from a black
smitn snop in town. A nolo was
drilled in the outside door of tho office
safe, just abovo the handle, and tho
hole In the Inuer door was made just
above the combination lock, and powder
was used to blow the safe open.
The robbery was not discovered until
about 10 o'clock today, when several
dollars' worth of stamps wero found be
hind the adjoining harness shop by W
H. Craven, which led to an iuvstiga
tion. It Is thought that the thieves
havo been in town for tho past two days,
and could be easily identified. The
money lost belonged to Postmaster J.
A. Wheeler.

Lomhm. Kl. sn.-Hxlniots from
Colonel Ibidon-Powell's letters to hi
relatives are published In an Illustrated
weekly. I lu writes:
"Here I sit In my bomb-proof bu
reau, writing these letters. Around
mo Is a telephonic, communication
with each one of my outposts. At
eauh of those outposts a toleseoiH) keeps
constant wnti'h on tho Hoor outposts
and guns. As soon us It is seen which
way their tire is ultout to bo directed,
tho wiiu communications are sol to
work and a bell, with which emh '
fensivo quarter is provided, filings lit
that p.irt of town whero the shell is
about to fall; and all in the open go to
tho ground like rabbits. Generally
speaking, mint of us, unless duty takes
us out, keep pretty oIumi during tho
dav; but we eumo out and take tho air
at' night. Tho liners usually finish
pounding us toward evening, or just
send us a few shells before the sun
goes down."
One tiling Colonel linden-Powell has
not neglected, llo has effectually
swept Mufoking clear of all suspected
traitors. Those who are not outside
are shut up in particularly strong
quartern. Ho says:
"I have 47 prisoners, including the
Into station master at Mafeklug, all ol
whom were rather more than suspected
of treasonable corresondineo with the
enemy."
Tho paper goes on to say: "One
dark night, it few weeks ago, a KiifHr
Htlll.l uu-nv from tho outnsts of tho lit
tle boleagured township. With the
subtile instinct of those children of the
veldt, which has been lost to civilized
man, ho made his way through tho not
work of encircling trenches and laagers
ami set his face to the north and lliilu
wayo. lie carried a couple of assegais,
a few mealies and a pipe. The latter
may havo si'omed of littlo luiiortance.
but hi tho stem of that pipe lay tho
message from tho cheerful, confident
chief, which, after a journey to Debt
goa Hay, gives to us at homo those in
teresting details of tho resistance offer
ed bv tho town to thu lioor siegu."
He tells how, even at Mafekiug, be
fore war came to them, people were
ready to underestimate tho chaructei
of tho hostilities likely to ensue, and
pooh-iioohod tho necessity of making
any special provision against Rocr artil
lery. Rut Colonel linden-Powell was
not tho mau to bo swayed by such
ostrlch-liko conduct.
"1 havo come hero to hold this
town," ho said. Straightway, ln-fore
any enemv aititeared on tho horizon, Im
set about marking out tho Hue of his
exterior defense works, and, with thai
common sense which is the vt tost ol
tho true soldier, at once directed tho
construction of ample shell-proof cover ,
against tho guns which at that time I
seemed so chimerical to tho people ol
Mafekiug. I
"Each ono of tho outworks," he'
writes, "all around tho town was at
ouco provided with underground shell
proof accommodation for the whole of its
garrison. The town itself was divided
into three or four sections, each of
which had its own arrangements for
defense. In each, big mounds of earth
havo been thrown up, with good inter
ior apartments, all constructed of the
handiest material, sucli as wall sup
ports and roof cross beams of railway
metals, with panelings aud roofings of
corrugated iron."
He then tells us how ho converted
the collart of soveral houses into safe
retreats of a similar kind, and, by
means of banking lingo mounds of earth
immediately overhead, they rendered
good service to the garrison and the
inhabitants on tho day when tho Boer
artillery began to rain shot and shell
on the devoted littlo town.
But the perfect, machine liko system
which holds sway at Mafekiug is per
haps tho most interesting fact about
the siege. ' Go into uny well known
optician's store and you will find the
men hard at work turning out as many
glasses as they can mako in tho short
est possible timo, chiefly telescopes of
great range, now urgently needed by
our troops in South Africa. The in
adequacy of our supply ut the front has
put us to serious disadvantage through
out tho thoater of war. Not so at
Mafekiug. Her wily chief, from the
earliest moment, saw to that, ami ho
tells us how he has them in constant
uso. In thu center of tho boleagured
town is a big traverse or mound of
earth. Inside this mound is tho brain
of Mafekiug, Radon-Powell
