 Receipts Stolen.

 After effecting an entrance the burglar clamly proceeded about his work. He opened each of the three cash registers in the store and re- moved all the paper currency, but did not touch the change The days re- ceipts, totalling between $50 and $1O0 were stolen. Nothing else was taken from the store.

He was one of the 'original Wilson men and after the last election was offered several important government posts. He Gc- clined them all, however; and be- came assistant to the chairman ot the national committee in charge of permanent headquarters here. At tho meeting of the national committee hero last December, Mir. Pence was chosen it's secretary.
 For many years Mr. Pence was Washington correspondent of the Raleigh, N. C.. News and Observer which is owned. by Secretary Daniels of the navy department.
 Because of Mr. Fences protracted illness, w. R. Hollister, secretary to Senator Stone, recently was appoint cd as assistant secretary of the na- tional committee and was designated by MT. Pence as acting secretary.
