G. Coleman, at Lyons, and forced an en trance in the building. They then rifled the cash, being rewarded for their trouble with about fifteen dollars in coin and bills of small denomina tion. The amount of merchandise that the marauders bore away is not known, though it amounted to some considera ble quantity. Beyond a strong clue as to the iden tity of the parties, Mr. Coleman is in the dark, but he thinks he has enough information to ultimately bring the thieves to justice. When Mr. Coleman had locked up his cash and straightened out his books for the day, he went to his home a few yards away. Very soon thereafter he returned to his store, a customer hav ing called at his home and asked for some article of merchandise. Other customers came in and when they had been waited on, Mr. Coleman again returned home, but this time he left his cash box on a counter. The thieves took advantage of this oversight, and made away with the cash and merchan dise. Mr. Coleman is railroad and express agent at Lyons, running his office and store room in the same building. Dr. Hunt Convalescent Everybody is glad to see Dr. J. Gra ham Hunt out on the streets again af ter having so lately been desperately ill.

The debate was held in the Jeffer son Hotel Auditorium before a small but select audience, the mayor of Rich mond and other distinguished men be ing. present. The query was: "Resol ved, That national banks should be permitted to issue, subject to tax and government supervision, notes based on their assets." The Judges were a bank cashier, a college professor, and the State librarian. The ballot show ed two for the negative, represented by Messrs. Hester nd Johnson, and one for the affirmative.
