Bobinger was sentenced in the District Court today to eight year's imprisonment for robbing the post offices at Cobden and Willisville, 111.

'Bobinger is also'acciised of planning the blowing up of the Murphysboro jail a few months ago to liberate friends. He is known to have instructed a boy in the use of nitroglycerine to blow up the jail. Bobinger will remembered as the desperado who, with a pal named James Kelley, drew their guns on Conductor Harris, C. train No. 52 south this city on July' 4, last, and attempted to take possession of the train.

For this offense Bobinger was fined and costs and sent to the county jail, found that After bis arrest it was he was a much wanted criminal, having been implicated in post office robberies at Cobden and Willisville a short time before. was also claimed that he was implicated in a robbery at Alto Pasa, also in the robbery of the Illinois Central baggage room at Murphysboro when several trunks and valises were stolen.

September 12, 1905. THE STATE LAW Compels Children of School Age to be in School. Now that the schools are reopening: it is well that parents of pupils be fully advised as to the law governing school attendance in this state. Under that any person having control of any child between the ages of 6 to 14 yeara shall annually cause such child to attend some public or private school for the entire time the school attended is in session, which period shall not be less than 110 days of actual teaching. Exemption is provided where the child, has been or is being otherwise instructed for a like period of time in each and every year in the elementry branches of education, by a person or persons competent to give such instruction or whose physical or mental condition renders his or her attendance impracticable or inexpedient, or who is excused for temporary absence for cause by the principal or teacher in charge of the school which said child attends Failure upon the part of a parent or guardian of a pupil to comply with the above provision renders such person liable to pay a fine of from $5 to 820 and to commitment until such fine anc costs of suit are paid.

"Another section of the law provides that any person having control of a child, who, with intent evades the provisions of this act, shall make a false statement concerning the age of said child or the time such child has attended school, shall for such offense, forfeit a sum of not less than $3 nor more than twenty, for the use of the public schools of city, town, village or district.
