last the tailoring store of J. Van Orden, just
above Tenth on J street, was burgiarized,
and about $50 in value of clothing and mate
rails taken. Entrance was effected through
door opening out upon high back porch
A ladder was brought by the thieves from
the adjoining premises, by which means the
porch was reached. a portion of the door
panel was bored out near the fastening
through which the bolt was drawn back and
entrance made. Much care was exercised by
the burglars not to disturb any roomers near
by, who might be anxious to sleep, as was
evidenced by the floor being well covered with
overalls taken from the shelves, to prevent
the sound of their steps being heard. They
were also placed over the porch floor, where
the store desk was taken and rihed of its con-
tents. None of the overalls were thought to
be missing, probably because they didn't fit,
as several pairs presented signs of having
been tried on. as shown by the legs being left
partly turned wrong side out.

including correspondence, was completed in
most systematic manner. The rooms, how
ever, occupied for the Department of Public
instruction, have been used continuously so
long that they are sadly In need of general
renovation to make them suitable for the pur-
poses for which they are now set apart either
as being desirable for occupants or as a pre-
sentable appearance for the credit of the
Skafa "
tied not only by the leading educational and
representative people from all parts of this
State, but also very frequently from other
States and it should be placed in condition
and maintained in such manner as to be cred
table to the State.

Just north of the new depot. They were
planted closely together and are intended to
break the force of the wind, serve in shut

in time become dense and pleasant grove.
The trees are CT three varieties-e eucalyptus,
walnut and catalpa The latter tree is not
widely known here, being of comparatively
recently introduction, 1t is indigenous in
