In every case IT will be seen that the
rate IS lower Tor 1901 than for 1897. One
very high birth rate is that of the Rus
sian empire which for 1897, the latest
year for which statistics are available,
was 40 3 Der thousand.

was entered and robbed. An entrance was
effected by cutting the shutters While the
proprietor of the store does not yet know
just what his loss is. he is satisfied the
plumber was bulky and was removed in a
vehicle. AS soon as he discovered that the
robbery had been committed he locked his
doors and telegraphed for the detective ard
his dogs. and also notified his brother in
this city of the affair.
The store of Mr.. Willis was robbed about
six months ago at time when a band of
robbers visited a number of stores along
the line of the Southern railway and made
big hauls. At some of the establishments
the property taken was bulky enough to fill
several large dry goods boxes. 1t was be-
lieved at that time that there were sevarl
members of the band. and that they went
about the country with team Some resi-
dents of the counties were of the opinion
that the, robbers lived in that section. and
that they shipped the goods after keeping
them under cover short time.
The property taken from the stores during
the winter included clothing revolvers
guns and general merchandise.
