your corn with tar, it renders il imper-
vious to moisture, preventing it from

sentence he acknowledges that was

caused by too much tar.

A New Trick at swindling.

A few days ago package was re-
ceived at Atalissa, on the r 'ck Island
road, by express, valued at several thou
sand dollars. The route messenger in
structed the Atalissa agent not to have
the package in the Office over night, but
to take it home, or deposit it in a safe
place elsewhere. That night the ex-
press Office was broken into and robbed,
few trinkets of no value being taken,
though the Office was thoroughly ran
sacked. This is trick which has been
frequently played upon the express
company. A package of silk, as in this
case, or snide jewelry, is directed from
an eastern Office to some rurai Office in
this state, on which is marked q large
value. The night following its delivery
the agency is robbed, and suit follows
to recover the value of the valuable
package stolen by the swindler who sent
it, and who has followed it to its desti-
nation. 1t won for time, but the ex-
press company has learned the game,
and now immensely valuable packages
sent to small country Offices are not kept
where they can be stolen. Hence the
precaution of the route agent saved the
company the loss of several thousand
dollars on a snide package.
