Tho discovery that the bank bad been
rnlihnl wns mniln this mom ne. The deed
was done during tho night while a heavy
rainstorm prevented suspicion and covered
tho tracks of the robberi. The bank is a
private one, managed by nurr Forbes &
Son. Tho eafo was blown open and about
$100 taken, chiefly In sliver coin and small
pieces. Tho safe, or vault, was a new one
and considered periect. j ne uoor was
blown off with dynamlto or nltro-glycerlne
and tho safe wrecked. A larger amount of
money In a smaller safe nearby was not
secured. It has been customary for the
bank to havo on hand between W.tOO nnd
$4,000, according to tho bank's Des Moines
correspondents. It Is believed at ArlsUo
hat tho robbery was committed by two
men nnd that they departed following tho
Great Westorn tracks northward, but the
heavy rain which fell during the night
makes It imposslblo to get any trace of tho
men.
It Is believed hero that the robbery wat

In neither caso did tho robbers leave nnv
lue to their ' identity, though at Arispo
some of the tools used wcro left behind. I
These two are only a part of a large num-
her of bank robberies or attempts at rob-
bery ln Iowa during tho last summer and
fnll nnd the tdtuatlon Is regarded as calling
for sumo action to put a stop to the In
dustry. It Is Is probablo that tho Bankers'
association will set detectives on the trail
of tho thieves and a strong effort made to
round them up before they get awny. In no
caso has the U.ss been great, but tbo robbers
seem to be becoming bolder and they may
tacklo a largo bank soma night.

Ono end of It was twisted about a fence
post and tbo other was held by tho boys,
who wcro concealed in thai Bhadow of a
friendly doorway. It was difficult to see
the wire in tho dark, and now many an 111-
etarrcd citizen can testify us to the quality
of the pavement ln that quarter. The boys
weru brought In by Officer Leahy.
Johnnlo Loux, Johnnie Thompson and
Paul Haller amused themselves by rolling
empty barrels down a stairway at C21 Souta
Thirteenth street. They, Ilko tho lads un
der tho sidewalk, listened for approaching
footsteps nnd then so timed the ntartlng of
the barrel that It would meet tho passerby
at right angles nt tho foot of tho stairs'.
Fortunately tno casks mado such an un
earthly rackot bobbing down thn steps that
would-be victims wero forewarned nnd nono
was Injured, but tho cooper shop upstolrn
was all but depleted and tbo street outside
was fairly congested with staves and hoops
when the officer arrived.
Several other boys were nrrcsted for
stealing gates and hoisting them into tree
tops, but In moat cases tho "gangs" that
worked In residence districts were pro
tected against police interference by means
ot sentinels. In theso localities tho slg
nals ot warning and for the, reassembling
of scattered forces sounded until far Into
tbo night.
Among the Hallowe oners arrested last
night wero George Branoff. Alexander
White nnd Nat J. Bets, charged with break
lng down signs near Slxtoenth and Leaven
worth streets. Each lad Is about 1G years
ot age.

Upm the nrrlvnl of the officers

WASHINGTON. Oct. 31.-Hon. Ellis H.

his report of tho transactions of bis office
during tho last fiscal year says that tbo

closo of that period. Tho operations, which
worn of the tlrat order both ln arloty and

ln the paper currency, as welt as a steady
and healthful growth of gold In tho treasury
and ln tho general stock. The net ordinary

Increase of $20,144, 4SS oxer those of 1000,

For tho first quarter of 1902, although
