BURGLARs.-The house breaking fra

this part Of Iowa, reached our city last
Tuesday night, and between the hours of

ter two in the same apartment, and all in
Munson'a block. Between the hours
named the night Waterman is required by
order of the authorities to transfer his
vigilance to the vicinity Of the depot, and
his absence enabled the rascals to work
unmolested.
Entrance to both stores was e ff.cted by
breaking lights in the rear windows and
raising the sash. At Waggoner's the
thieves secured lot of gold pens and
about IS in change from the drawer, the
whole amounting to about 800. The
Post Office and Ames & spraguc estab

took three revolvers, dozen Or more
pocket knives, meerchaum pipe or two,
and other minor articles, the whole val

haul was not valuable. The thieves in

nothing Of any amount. The robbery
was discovered by Mr.. Sprague about I
o'clock unpon entering his store. From
indications, he judged that the burglars
were yet in the post Office, and unwilling
to encounter them alone and unarmcd,
he ent to secure assistance but when
he returned the birds had flown.
The police arc utterly at fault for clue
to the rascals, and thus far have made no
progress toward their detection. Spec

Thursday to investigate in behalf Of the
P. 0. department, but with no better sue
cess than the officers. In the meantime
oil parties are glad that 1t was no worse.

GONE TO REST.
An Inmate of an Uptown BagniO
Commits suicide.

Early this morning one of the girls a
Miss Nellie Steele's establishment, No
40 Washington street, entered the room
of another inmate, Nellie Melrose, anC
found her dead in her bed. 1t was dis
covered that she had taken morphine
and when found, as one of the inmates
described her, She looked like chic
that had gone to sleep, with her face
buried in her hands" Our commits
siouer, accompanied by Messrs. Barindi
and Worsham, who acted as escort and
guides, visited the scene of the suicide
and cleaned the following particulars;
The deceased woman's maiden name
was Needham, daughter of Mike Need
ham, who resided here before the war
and was imprisoned insthis city on the
charge of killing his wife, mother OF the
deceased. Nellie was brought up at st.
Peters Orphan Asylum. Four years
ago she married Frank Pratt, by whom
she mad one child. Pratt left her two
years afterwards and filed bill for di-
vorce in one OF the courts of this city.
About a year ago she commenced lead
ing dissolute life Not many months
since Nellie attempted to commit suicide
at Union street bagnio but was pumped
out and saved by the attending physi-
clan. For some time she has been
in bad health and has been suffering from
depression of spirits. She often of late
threatened to kill herself. For few
days past she had been using morphine
in small doses. Yesterday she went out,
purchased morphine and went to the
house of her washerwoman. She was
brought back in hack and went to bed
apparently in good spirits. The deceased
was aged about nineteen years, bru-
nette and quite attractive in appearance.
When Intercepted by our reporter as to
the burial of the dead woman, Miss Mel
lie Steele replied: G. will have her
buried this afternoon; the girls have sui
scribed something, aud have ordered
metallic case at nolst's. We have to
stick to each other in death as well as
life. If girl dies at my house l think
it my duty to bury her. This is all any
person can do for the dead" This fore
noon Esquire Miller held an inquest on
the body Of the deceased, the jury return
ing verdict of Death by suicide" etc.
