is spoken.
The THRICE-A- WEEK WORLD was bril-
liant success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing eyer since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of ap-
proval on the Thrice Week World, which
is Widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritory of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue.
This paper for the coming winter and the
year 1908, will make its news service, If pos
sible, more extensive than ever. All events
of Importance, no matter where they happen
are reported accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar year,
gets three papers every week and more news
and general reading than most great dailies
can furnish at five or six times the price.
The Thrice Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns and
Democrat and Republican alike can obtain
in its pages truthful accounts of all the great
political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a-
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction,
elaborate market reports and other features
Of interest.
The Thrice a.Wcek Worlds regular sub
scrlption price s only 500 per year and this
pays for 1856 papers. We offer this unequal
ed newspaper and THE CLARION together
one year for 81 .65.
The regular subscription price of the two
papers Is 50 90.

Our New Cold Storage.

The new meat store and cold storage plant
OF Messrs Late and Gall in the Osler Block
are improvements of which our town must
feel proud. The store room is nicely finish
ed roomy and well lighted; there are two
large cold storage chambers and an immense
big icehouse over and back Of them. The
firm has in view several departures from the
oldtime way of doing business which when
put into effect will prove boon to house
keepers, and we are certain, profit to the
firm. Mr.. Carl Gall, an affable and business
like young man, has charge of the store; the
proprietors are we'll pleased thus far with
the promise of their new venture.

RObberies Of POstOfii ces.

During the fiscal year 1902 there we're
2,746 robberies of postofflces, as compared
with ,635 in 1901; there were II robberies
of mail trains, as compared with 81 in 1901;
l6 of mail messengers, stariOute carriers and
wagons as compared with in 1901; ASS Of
street and rural free delivery letter boxes, as
compared with 1853 in 1901. This large IN.
crease is accounted for by the growth Of the
rural free delivery service. 1t is obvious that
boxes placed along the country highways are
much more liable to depredstions than those
along city streets.
The number of postal cars burned and
wrecked in 1902 was a. in 1901, II. The
number of postcffices burned in 1902 was
869; IN 1901, 643 The number of mail pouch.
es lost in 1902 was Y62; in 1901, 65G. The
number of pouches cut or stolen in 1902 was
TAO, and less than in 1901.
The total number of postal arrests during
the fiscal year was 1721. OF this number liz
were postmasters, IS assistant postmasters,
GA clerks in postoff1ces, IS railway postal
clerks, 20 letter carriers, 43 mail carriers and
10 employed in minor positions in the postal
service. The remainder 1417 were persons
not connected in any way with the postal
service, and among them were 2S7 postoffice
burglars.
