The latter work should b undertaken
at once. Bonds for the bnildinR OF The

than that received for the others. The
city will never receive the full benefit for
the outlay already n de uutil this is
done, aa the steep hill on Jaakson and
Eighth streets is almost impsssabls for

Nou, most Of the batidings are old and

greater than the value Of the land they
stand on.
Our pet burglar continues 10 furnish

5rter never has goods and chatteIs that
dishonest men can pilfor, aud therefore
be can ehroni1le the Q occurrence with
ss0ical philosophy. Al q very early
hour yesterday morning the house Of
Mr.. Milham, the expFessman, near Lake
Union, was entered and ransaeked with

aud clothing we're taken, Of perhaps SIS
Ia value. About 3 O'Clock in the morn
ing the house Of Mr.. ID. B. Ward, real
estate agent, was also entered. A hole
was cut Ia the kitchen dosr, near the
lock, but IN handling the key tn fellow
dropped it. He then eut large pane
Of glass ous OF the windoS and stepped
into the kitohea. little dog gave the
alarm, and Mr.. Ward get out Of bed
and started 70 90 into the kitchen, when
the door opened aud q man stepped

instant striking match. Mr. Wards

for an instant be thought IL was the
latter, and spoke. ''Is that you, Olar-
ence7" Instantly the man sprang back

later through the window, and disap-
peared In the darkness. Dressing hasti-
~, Mr.. Ward made search about the
premises, bal could fad no further trace
Of the burglar. The pane Of glass cut
out Was large one, and had been care
fully set down on edge IN place OF
safety. The alarm given BY the little
dog undoubtedly saved the loss Of valu-
ables, as there we're watches and other
portable property lying around, and aa
the pFowleF moved 30 softly that Mr..
Ward could not hear. although be vas
awake. there 10 little doubt that the Eel

IN safety had tbs family been aslesp.
