BURGLARY.

The dry goods store Of Mr.. E. N. Yates
was entered sometime between Saturday
night and Monday morning, the safe open.
ed, and sboaf 500 in money, and six OF
sevs6 watches taken. The robbery ID
shrouded in mystery.
It is generally conceded that the safe
was opened by some one who had the
combination. Two theories are advauced.
One, that the combination was obtained
from the mandatory through some dis
honest employees, by burglar. Another
that the combination was obtained in
this place, by some one.
Those who are about the store arc !:
Mr.. and Mrs. E. N. Yates, Mrs. Reed,
Mr.. B. F. Yates, Mr.. Jas. McClure-who
stays at the store nights, Mr.. Hyde
watch-maker-who occupies one window
of the south room, and Mr.. Reimert,
tailor--who occupies the other window
of the same room.
WHAT THEY SAY.
Mr.. E. N. Yates says the inside COM
bination was known only to himself. He
put the money in, and locked the safe
Saturday night and unlocked it Monday
morning. The money was gone. Thinks
it was done by some one residing here,
but don't know. Don't know At what
time the robbery occurred.
Mrs. Yates thinks the safe was robbed
at night.
Mrs. Reed thinks it a mystery. Was
not at the store duriag the time.
Mr.. B. F. Yates thinks it is q mystery.
Mr.. Jas Mcclure thinks it was robbed
during Sunday. The doors were always
braced from the inside at night, and du-
ring Sunday. Saturday night was at
the store all the time. Sunday morning
was out to breakfast, but came back and
stayed until dinner, when he was again
away. In the afternoon he was at his
brothers, rs is his custom. Was not out
of the store Sunday night. The doors
were all braced except the one he went
out at. Must have been done when he
was away during the day
Mr.. Hyde was out Of town Sunday.
Can establish where he was from Satur-
day night until Monday morning. Lost
seven watches, all belonging to Gus
TONERS.
Mr.. Reimert was not in the store du.
ring the time.
THE MYSTERY.
The store was occupied all the time
except about six hours Sunday. Moth
ing wrong was discovered until Monday.
Now, how did anyone get into the store,
taking down the braces to the doors, open
the safe, and 60 out, fastening the safe
door, putting up the braces, and leaving
everything just as it was? Would any
,ne be apt to do deed like that in broad
daylight, with people passing on the
street more or less all the time, and with
The almost certainty that the clerk would
be back again in very short time ? And
would anyone be foolhardy enough TO
enter the store at night with person
,leeping in the next room, with open
loors, and 60 to SO much pains and
trouble to fix everything up in such good
Ihape after them? And finally has any
,ne theory that is satisfactory to them
elves about this matter? The mystery
leepens. Further developments are
waited.

sInguIar Death OF q Nurgeop

A Manchester surgeon, named
Harrison, who had been suffering
from toothache, went to have the
aching tooth extracted. The den
tist, Mr., Williams, tried to take
the tooth out without gas; but Mr..
Harrison, being sensitive, wished
to have gas, and it was administed
to him in the usual way. The dem
tist asked him to wave his hand
when he had had sufficient. The
deceased was excited from pain.
and said he had nothing to eat that
day, and could not live on stimu
lants. Mr.. Williams tried, from his
appearance after the gas had been
inhaled, to extract the tooth, but
the deceased said he must have the
gas until he snored. The gas was
then given him until lie snored.
and Mr., Williams extracted two
teeth. AS the deceased did not
appear to be coming round, Mr..
Williams opened the window to adj
NIT the air, and sent for medical
man. DR.. Worsley arrived soon
afterward and found that the pa
tient was dead. The post-mortem
showed that there was a great de-
post of fat throughout the organs,
especially the heart, and that the
cause of death was the sudden fail
ure of the hearts action. The jury
found as their verdict that the de-

abode teeming with men and wo-
men Of most singular temperament,
She writes: "0ne of the most singu-
lar features in the Hawaiian char
acter lies in the fact that the terrible
passion of jealousy is unknown
among them. 1t does not exist any
more than thing that was never

The Hawaiian woman is the most
loving of human beings. Tine Ha-
waiian lover, however deeply he
loves her, Is never jealous of her.
Men may smile upon her, may come
and go, but his soul is unrufiled by
the green-eyed mosster. Native
women are not jealous of native

Mrs. Ann Eliza Young, the rebel
of the harem, in her "Wile No. 49,"
tells of a cousin who had married a
Gentle. The girl parents were
deyout saints, and grieyed over
their daughter as one dead. The
disconsolate father consulted the
oracle of the Lord, who gave him
the following godly advice "Put
Hatten out Of the way; it is a sin
and a shame to have SO good a wo-
man dragged around the world by
a GENTLE" OF course the voice of
the Lord spoke in his chosen SER
want, and in few days came the
startling news that this audacious
outsider had been killed by the
Indians.
