DES MO 4 Oct. 31.—(Special.)— Early this mo. , the Des Moines police were asked by tewephone to send detectives to Unlon county to work on a bank robbery cage at Arispe, on the Great Western rail- | road, sixty-five miles from the city. The discovery that the bank bad been robhed was made this morning. The deed was done during the night while a heavy rainstorm prevented suspicion and covered the tracks of the robbers. The bank is a private_one, managed by Burr Forbes & Son. The safe was blown open and about $400 take lefly in silver coin and small | pieces |and considered perfect. The door was blown off with dynamite or nitro-glycerine and the safe wrecked. A larger amount of money in a smaller safe nearby was mnot socured. It has been customary for the bank to have on hand between $3,600 and $4,000, according to the bank's Des Moines | correspondents. 1t Is believed at Arispe that the robbery was committed by two men and that they departed following the Great Western tracks northward, but the heavy rain which fell during the night makes it impossible to get any trace of the men 1t 18 believed here that the robbery was committed by the same cracksmen who opened the safe at Huxley, in Story county, Monday night. But at Huxley the safe was an old one and easily broken into. The lsafe at Arispe was a fine one, valued at $1,000, and the bankers had recently heen in Des Moines and hid made arrangements to take out Insurance with a casualty com- pany. In neither case did the robbers leave anvy clue to their identity, though at Arispe some of the tools used were left behind. These two are only a part of a large num- ber of bank robberies or attempts at rob- bery in lowa duriog the last summer and fall and the wituation is regarded as calling for some action to put & stop to the in- dustry. It is is probable that the Bankers® { association will set detectives on the trail of the thieves and a strong effort made to round them up before they get away. In no case has the 1685 been great, but the robbers seem to be becoming bolder and they may tackle a large bank some night.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31--Hon. Ellls H. Roberts, treasurer of the United States, in his report of the transactions of his office duripg the last flscal year says that the treasury was never stronger than at the close of that period. The operations, which were of the first order both In variety and magnitude, resulted in noteworthy changes in the paper currency, as well as a steady and healthful growth of gold in the treasury and in the general stock, The net ordinary revenues for t ar woere $587,683,337, an increase of $20,444.485 over those of 1900, which were tne next highest recorded. The increase came from each of the heads of resource, but chiefly from Internal revenue, On tho side of the expenditures the total of $509,967,353 has been exceeded only four times, in 1868, 1864, 1865 and 1899, The surplus of $77,717.894 was slightly under $2,000,000 less than in 1900. Inclusive of the transactions affecting the public debt the aggrregate receipts were $1,146,480,806 Isml the aggregate disbursements $1,077,- 063,052, For the first quarter of 1802, although the act of March 2, 1901, was operative, reducing the revenue, the recelpts were only $3,417,960 less than for the like period of 1901, while the expenditures for the same months were reduced by almost exactly $20,000. The reserve of $150,000,000 in gold re- quired by the financial law of 1900 bas been kept intact by the daily substitution of gold coln and bullion out of the general fund for the notes redeemed, These redemp- tlons, which amounted to $24,607,858 for the year, do not indicate uny preference for gold over paper, but simply the desire for large denominations, which are most con- veniently supplied in gold certificates.

Tommie MoGuire and Ed Higghibotham had fifty feet of telegraph wire stretched across the street at Twelfth and Chicago. One end of it was (wisted about a fences post and the other was held by the boys, who were concealed in the shadow of a friendly doorway. It was difficult to see the wire in the dark, and now many an ill- starred citizen can testify as to the quality of the pavement in that quarter. The boys were brought in by Officer Leahy. Johnnie Loux, Johunle Thompson and Paul Haller amused themselves by rolling empty barrels down a stairway at 621 Souta Chirteenth street. They, like the lads um- der the sidewalk, listened for approaching footsteps and then so timed the starting of the barrel that it would meet the passerby at right angles at the foot of the stairs.

The issue of the 2 per cent consols of 1030 in exchange for the loans maturing in 1004, 1907 and 1908 was continued up to Decem- ber 31, 1901, from the time the total amount of the principal converted reached $449,490,750. These transactions involved the payment of an aggregate sum of $10,- 409,607 in money. On April 1 was begun under the order of the secretary of the treasury the purchase of bonds of the same loans, at a price com pited to earn 1.726 per cent. Up to June 3v the purchase amounted to $1 principal, at a cost of $16,267,928. By this process and under a notice of the secretary of the treasury September 10 fnviting of fors to sell to the government $20,000,000 of bonds Including the loan of 1905, pur chases were carrled up.to $40,477,900, at an ageregate cost of $49,438,136. Of the funded loan of 1891, on which In- terest ceased August 18, 1900, bonds with tace value of $21,705,250 were redeemed during the year, leaving a balance of $274,« 600 outstanding and in the pew fiscal vear payments reduced the balance to $12,500.

Incrense In Money Stock. The monetary stock of the country re- celved during the year an increase of up- ward of $88,000,000 in gold, $37,000,000 in silver coln and nearly §16,000,000 in notes and certificates. The circulation per capita was $26.50 July 1, 1900, $26 July 1, 1801, and $28.52 October 1, 1901, Up to the last date, from July 1, 1901, there was an in- crease of $463,130,458 in the stock of gold, which was then estimated at $1,180,353,790, and of this there was $108,718,438 in ciron- lation in the form of coin or certificates. By October 31 the gold in the treasury, consisting of the reserve, the security for certificates and the sum In the general fund was $542,822,849, the highest in the history of the country and more than was ever held under single control elsewhere In the world, except once for a few months. The recelpts in New York for customs are nearly all in gold certificates and balances between the clearing houses and sub treasury are settled almost entirely in the same medlum. To the extent that gold certificates, which are of the denominations of $20 and upward, have taken the place ot other large paper, It has been possible to supply small notes and certificates much more freely than formerly. It is reasonable to believe that over $140,- 000,000 of paper will by influences now at work be changed from denominations of $10 or smaller so that the annoyances which have heretofore arisen annually from the overwhelming demand for small notes may be expected to diminisl On October 1 the total amount of out- standing paper money of the denominations of $10 and under was $330,121,921. The in cresse in these denominations In the last four fiscal years was upward of $166,000,000, Notes Will Be Insued. Arrangements are completed, subject to generous action by congress, for putting out notes and certificates {n the beginning of the calendar year 1902, at the rate of 135,000,000 pleces annually.
