Burglars Thought George Maths Had
Money at Home But He Didn't

The home of George Maths, 3zz West
Gordon street, was entered by burglars
Friday afternoon while the family was
absent and the house was thoroughly
ranSacked-
There was no money in the house. but
the burglars evidently believed that
there was, for they examined the house
from garnet to cellar. The stoves were
examined, the pipes taken down, carpets
were torn UP, the bedding was scattered
over the floors and the contents of the
bureau drawers were thrown around
the rooms Nothing was taken and it
was evident that the burglars wanted
nothing but cash.

This table is highly encouraging to
those interested in the welfare of St
Paul, for it clearly shows that the city
has again started upon healthy growth
During six years of the past decade
there was practically TO increase in pop
ulation but the directory of 1899 shows
an increase Of 9,159 and the 1900 edition
an increase Of 1927, or half Of the total
increase for ten years preceding.
The present conditions resemble in
many respects those which existed IN this
city in July, 1884. We were then recov-
ering from the panic Of 1873, and every
thing was favorable to prosperity, when
the presidential compaign, labor troubles
and drouth put a damper upon business,
which practically amounted to a panic;
for several months preceding the cleo
ton everything was at a standstil The
conditions which followed during the
years 1885 and 1893 are familiar to all,
and If we estimate the future by the past
we may expect the mC~t prosperous con-
dition of the city's history to ensue
The following table shows the total
considerations of transfers and the esti-
mated cost of buildings for which per-
mits were issued during the first six
months Of 1899, compared with the first
six months of 1900
