THE
new YORK WORLD
THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
Read Wherever the English Language
il spoken.

The Thrlce-a-Week World was a brilliant
success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of ap-
prOval on the Thrice-a- 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 year 1908, will make
its news service, if possible, more eXten-
sive 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-a- 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-W Week Worlds regular sub
scriptiOn price is only $1.00 per year and
this pays for 1856 papers. We offer this un-
equaled newspaper and The SMYRNA Times
together one year for $1.75. The regular
subscription price of the two papers is $500

A Bill Tint Never Passed.

Congressman sometimes adopt queer
expedients to gain the good will of
their constituents. Years ago a mem
ber from a western state was very
much afraid he would be knocked out
in the approaching campaign. He had
not managed to make himself power
in congress. In fact, his constituents
had never heard Of him doing any
thing besides voting with his party
when his name was called and draw
ing his salary. He was desperate.
Something must be done to please his
peopIe at home or he would be buried
out of sight. A bright young woman
to whom he had described his troubles
said to him:
"You live near the center Of the
United States, don't you?"
"Yes"
'gThen why don't you introduce a
bill to have the capitol moved to the
principal town in your district"
"The very thing"
And he introduced the bill. 1t work
ed to a charm. The people Of his dis
trict at once concluded he was great
man and with much enthusiasm sent
him back for another term, so that he
might press his removal bill and Sc
cure its passage. In the next con-
rress he reintroduced the same meas
ure, and, though it was promptly
pigeonhoIed in the committee room
and of course he never got chance tc
make a speech on it, his people stood
by him and gave him third term as
a reward for his genius.

Tourist Gave Bad Money to Conductor
Who Wouldn't Stop.
The conductor was talking to the
motorman, both looking ahead, as the
car bowlod merrily on. A woman
standing in the rear seats motioned in
vain for a stop.
Hey" shouted man in golf clothes
and q tourists cap, this lady wants to
get on"
Another twist of the lever and the
car ran with greater speed.
"Oh. dear, dear!" exclaimed the
woman.
This remark was not especially adj
dressed to the man in the tourists cap,
but he thought it was. Jumping from
his seat he grabbed the leather cord
nearest him and yanked it viciously
five times.
Who did that?' asked the conduc-
tor, savagely.

you, to run past three streets without

a coin.

Des Moines, March IA. = Mrs. 'Sher-
man Dye, of Boone, the alleged send
er of the package of poisoned candy,
which killed Miss Nelson of Pierre,
South Dakota can vet escape without a
trial, owing to the failure of the Iowa
legislature to hastily enact "a law which
VIII permit of eXtradition in such
| cases.
Acting upon information from Boone
which seemed to show conclusively
that the Dyes We're preparing to leave
that city. and might be beyond the
reach of Iowa authorities before the
| legislature passes the law demanded
by the governor, a committee of two
prominent citizens of Boone called at
the office of w. c. Macarthur, clerk of
the federal court Saturday, with view
of having Mrs. Dye arrested and held
| on some minor charge, such as misuse
of the mails. Then it was that the
startling discovery was made that the
federal statutes do not even reach her
case in this manner. Statutes exist
which prevent the sending of anything
through the mails with intent to de-
fraud and also prohibiting sending GER
| tain unavailable matter which is OBJ
pectionable owing to it's nature, such
as explosives, but there is nothing that
prohibits sending poison through the
mails with intent to kill.
Thus it is that Mrs. Dye and her
husband may carry out their plans to
| leave Boone more quickly than they
have permitted anyone to believe, and
| may be beyond reach of the law before
the legislature can act.
Safe if They Leave Town.
Certain it is that if they get outside
of Iowa Mrs. Dye cannot be brought to
trial unless they go to some other state
where the legislature, is sitting and a
special statute is enacted for their
benefit such as that which is proposed
here. Attorney General Mullan says
Iowa is the pioneer in legislation of
this kind and that he is especially
careful in preparing the bill that is to
be presented to the general assembly
Ion this account.
Mr.. Mullan explains that in the case
of a man who fired across the bound
airy between South Carolina and Ten
nessee, killing a man. it was held there
was no law to permit of his prosecu-
ton.
From Boone it is learned that Dye
| has been discharged by the Northwest
| ern Railway, with which he has been
employed as telegraph operator and
that he and his wife state that they
| are going to move somewhere else,
| they know not where. He is looking
| for job. AS an evidence that Dye
I was not much in love with Miss Nelson
and doesn't seriously mourn over his
| wife's predicament it is stated that he
went hunting Friday and had a jolly
| time.
No one at Boone seems to credit the
theory of Minneapolis paper which
published sensational story from
Boone intimating that some sus-
pect Dye of being the guilty one. Ev-
| erybody at Boone scouts this theory.
