he other place visited was the
home of S. II. Peace, on Liberty
street. Mrs. Peace had been sick
for several days, and Mr. Peace sat
up with her for some two or three
or more nights. Her condition was
so much better 1 ueeday night that
it was not necessary for him to do
so. At 12 o clock, however, he was
up ana at mat lime nis pants were
undisturbed. This morning a win
dow was found raised a few inches
and the pants, which were about
fifteen feet away, were gone. In
order. to do this it was necessary for
the robber or robbers to tie two or
hree poles together In the end of
the spliced pole was a nail, which
was used to hook the pants.
The pants were carried off, to
gether with a three-cent piece, a key
and a handkerchief. Mr. Peace
says u the robbers will bring bis
pants back, they can have the three
cent?.

in Europe now.
On the contrary, we are in .debt

come available for export there will
remain a firm foreign exchange
