conveyance. Daye Brown, who was in
charge, says the - -! Ill
wheel collapsed and didn't give him a
-! moments notice, but landed
him on the road too -! -! quick.
The two attempted burglaries in
Yale during the past couple of weeks
should be warning to the people to
be prepared to give these marauders a
warm reception should they make
another attempt. A load of buckshot
or the contents of revolver rightly
applied would have the effect of Kidding
the universe of one or two of these
scoundrels.
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any

refuses to pay for it. Under the law
the man who allows his subscription
to run along some time unpaid, and

"refused" and have postal card SEM

liable to arrest and fine, the same as
for theft.

short, it is your local paper that men,
tons the thousand and one items in
which you are interested during the
year, and which you do not find III the
city papers.

easy chair and examine it at your lei
sure. Never mind putting back the
type-the printer can do that after
you have finished.

show given in Central hall last Tuesday
evening by the Reynolds Melville dra
matte company. They were billed tC
play "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. HYDE" but
there was u split in the company a
Croswell and as some Of their members

IL couple of farces. With the eXcep
ton of one black faced character the
troup is no good, and fell far short oI
giving satisfaction.

20 often by more able speakers, die
not have the justice done to it that il
should have received.
