(Special) Loot valued at about $20, including a silver compact, a watch, eilk-lingerie, and a small sum In change, was taken from the home of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Ditto, 2U8 Vj street, Springfield, at about 4 o'clock yesterday morning. Entrance and exit were made through the front door, which had been left unlocked during the night. Though only one man entered the house, as far as could . be learned, two men were partners in ,' the robbery, according to Chief of Police Charles Nolf. : The thieves, one of whom , wore about an eight shoe, and the other about a number six and a half, made a tour of the grounds, leaving their footprints sear the house and under two or three windows which they .tried to force. The one who entered ithe house bound his feet up with nap ikina which were hanglng on s line on Ithe back porch, after he found the i front doer unlocked. Muddy tracks 'were not found through the house, due to this device, but the discarded napery was left. i The room occupied by Mrs. Ditto was entered, and she was awakened by feeling someone touching her face. ' Bhe screamed, and summoned the rest of the household, but not before the .thieves had made their escape. It is thought that the robbera were after I her jewelry, since she bad worn to !bed three valuable rings, a wrist watch, and a bracelet. The silver .compact was taken from the dresser, 'the watch snatched up from the din ting room table, and the sum of money from a dish in the cupboard. The silk lingerie, which was stolen from the bedroom, waa found later in the day ' along the railroad tracka a few 'blocks from the Ditto r'esldence, where the burglars had evidently dls carded it either because of Its bulk or because they feared they could not dispose of it. Mr. Ditto's room had evidently hot been entered yet, since his pocket- hook was lying on the chair by his bed. The silverware was not touched. The burglars, whoever they were, 'left behind them as a clue two largo I yellow apples, evidently tnken from their pockets and laid on a window ill. Police are working on the case. !J E Fire damage In Eugene In January, 1 11)24, $85,000. ! Damage in January, 1025, $2.45. The foregoing report tells its own . story, says W. E.

Second Coming of Christ Declared to be Hearing By A. H. FREDERICK (NBA Service Writer) T.na ANOBI.EH. Cnl.. Jan. 81. His church believes Implicity that'the world will end in a few days. Meantime Business ss usual. " says Dr. F. E. Fullmer, chief dlsclplo of new religion here. "That's what we are do ing, even though wa msy have but a few days to live." This new religion Is the Seventh Day, Advcntlsts Keformed church, an offshoot from (Be scvenin way tin ventlsts. . From obscurity they have iidtlenlv ' enruns into nationwide prominence. because the end of their world the seine worm we a is duo February 6. 1 In November, 1023, Margaret W. Rowan, to them an inspired mouth piece from the supernatural, spoke from a deathlike rigidity: "The socond coming of Christ is nearing. He will come person ally, literally and visibly to res urrect the righteous and trans port the elect to heaven." "Thst was more tan a year ago," declared the doctor, speaking solemnly in the cubbyhole kltehcn cabinet, which is his medical office sanctury and study. "And through nil the in tervening period, the signs nave ue- como clearer. . "We expect the prophecy to bo ful filled, though the only preparations we are maklngnre sunh pjivuto dues as a man facing death might he ex pected to make." Besides convincing evidences thot Mrs. Rowsa is receiving iessages from some Indeterminable source. states the doctor, there Is the word of Scripture. Ho otters this from 12 Daniel: "At the time of the end msny L shall run to and fro and there shall be a great increase in knowledge." "What is more descriptive of life today';'' asks the doctor. "The Jasa age, an age of running to and fro, and our sudden vast increase in .scicn tific knowledge perhaps surpasses the combined increases of all other gen erations." Mrs. Rowan, who started It all, has not much to say. She is consider. ed a mere interpreter of visions, ouc who from a moribund trance speaks a messago given her, scarce knowing its Import. However, other predictions of hers have come to pass, avow members of the sect. And the group is willing "stand to full stigma" should this most momentous prediction fail. , "I am not rcody to soy just whnt wo will do in cubc this test should fail," declares Dr. Mullmer. "In such case, I will bo here practicing medicine, and doubtless the others will go ahead also." Dr. Fullmer, denies that tbo Re formed church plans any special cere monial such as going en masBo into Hollywood hills for a better .skyward view, Whether there Is yet time for the sinners to gain redemption is doubh ful, sccording to tbo sect's doctrines.
