BOLD AND SLICK.
Thieves Successfully Capture a Bundle
Of Goats From a Clothing
House.
Tossed Out of the Window While the
Clerks Attention Is Diverted.

Farman's store was Sticky robbed at q
late hour in the evening, by two bold
fellows, who assumed the role of custom
ers and pretended to want to buy some
goods. They were taken up onto the
second floor to be shown some, and after
inspecting without buying buying turned
to go down stairs again. The salesman
who had been showing the goods was
ahead, and the fellow in the rear slyly
and coolly did the plundering unobserved
at the time. The windows of the build
ing along the side of the store, and open
ing on the street, were open, and on
tables were piles of clothing covered with
a long stretch of cloth to keep the dust
off. As the fellow passed along he
pushed a pile of coats out into
the street, through the window,
the coat falling on the sidewalk below.
The clerk noticed nothing at the time,
but after the fellows had left the store he
went back up stairs to turn out the lights
preparatory to closing the store for the
night, and her noticed that the strip of
cloth, used in protecting the goods, was
partially showed out of the window, and
attracting his attention by its strange po-
sition, the loss of the goods was discover
ed. 1t was too late then; the fellows
having had a chance to get away with the
goods they had thus tumbled in the
street. Investigation showed that the
thieves got twelve or fifteen coats at
least.

A Change in the Superintendency of
of the Institution for the Deaf
and Dumb,

The following is the full text of the
resignation of the Rev. A. Rogers as SUI
perintendent of the institution for the
deaf and dumb:
COUNCIL BLUFFS Iowa, July II.
To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the
Iowa Institution for the Deaf and Dumb:
DEAR SIRs: After serving as superin-
tendent for three years | have come to
the conclusion that it will be to the best
interests of the institution to tender to
you my resignation, to take effect as soon
as you select my successor. | am prompt,
ed to decline your re-appointment at an
increased salary, because my inclination,
as well as tthe wishes of my family, lead
me into another field of work.
The material interests of the institu-
ton are now in such good condi.
ton that the SUPPLEMENTARY can
change hands without serious
embarrassment to the good work.
In going out from this work / shall
carry with me al abiding interest in the
prosperity and growth of the Iowa insti,
tuition for the deaf and dumb.
Thanking you for all your kindness in
the past, and assuring you that | can but
feel an interest in your personal heppi-
ness and prosperity, / am, yours respect
fully, A, ROGERS,
Superintendent.
The resignation as a surprise to
the many friends of Mr. Rogers, who
have watched his work with satisfaction,
and who have been interested not only
in his personal success, but in the success
of the institution. Mr.. Rogers is a
Christian gentleman of more than ordi-
nary ability, especially in the pulpit, and
the public will not allow his talents to lie
dormant, but will make new demands
upon his usefulness in some other field.

an impression taken from them. The
department officials are keeping the
matter extremely quiet, in the hope of
working up a clew TO the counterfeiters
Some of these officials denied the story,
but it is defnitly known. One who has
seen the coin says that, placed side by
side with the genuine 81 piece, the elif-
ference can scarcely be detected by any
but experts. The weight is nearly the
same, and can only be detected by the
gold scales. 1t was received ut the
Treasury counters.
