c1rY's BUSINESS EXPANDING.

THE business of the postoffice is good in
i dication of the commercial pulse OF the
city and, judging by the figures Of Mr. Conrad,
the city is still on the forward march. The post
office receipts during the last few years have
shown a remarkable increase, and that they are
climbing steadily upward shows there is no halt
in the progress of Wilmington.
For instance, during the last quarter the re-
ceipts of the office showed an increase compared
with the same period Of the previous year. These
figures indicate that more business is being trans
acted and there is no lag in the prosperity of the
city.
Wilmington undoubtedly has promising fu-
ture before her We are just beginning to awake
to the possibilities Of the city and it remains with
Wilmingtonians themselves to push their home
forward in every branch OF industry.

The distressing Marvin kidnapping problem is
no nearer solution than ever. An the resources of
the State and those of some of the best detective
agencies of the country have been exhausted in
vain search for the lad The father OF the boy
still believes that he is alive and there is some
hope that the little fellow will be restored finally
to his home. That the lad could have strangely
disappeared in country like that where his
fathers home is located, is one OF the inexpc-
able mysteries that has baffled the wit of man to
unfathom.

Miss Davis of Redpath Bureau Elk
plains as to Coupun Tickets

The following statement is fur
nished by the Redpath Bureau. re-
speeding the matter Of entertainments
to be furnished at the coming Chau
tauqua. This explanation should set
tie all questions as to the number of
entertainments to be given.
These season tickets contain but
twelve coupons. One for each after
noon and evening. The tickets must
be shown at the gate for admission to
morning lectures. This form is used
because three coupons would make an
awkard ticket to handle.
There will be sixteen entertain
ments. If there is shortage it will
be related according to shortage.

Not Miss a Number.

After several months of delay the
Review is now definitely able to an
nounce the resumption of its splendid
Magazine Section. The matter has
been the subject of much anxiety to
us as we found that no feature of the
Review has ever given greater
pleasure to its readers. Early in
March the company printing the
Magazine Section found itself in
financial difficulties and after strug-
gle of few weeks was obliged to
quit the field The work of organic
ing a new company on a firm basis
and of securing the necessary lists
have taken some time and it is only
this week that we are able to announce
its resumption.
We congratulate our readers and
believe the magazine feature will add
greatly to the strength of the already
popular Review The Review already
sets more type than any other exclu
sive weekly in Iowa and that it is APP
preciated is evidenced by the fact that
its list is increasing by leaps and
bounds. The $500 mark has long
been passed and we are now we'll on
our way to the 5000 goal.
For the first month the Magazine
Section will be sent to EVERY
READER after that time we shall
adhere strictly to the rule of sending
it only to advanced paid subscribers.
The new Magazine costs you nothing
extra-ail we ask is that YOU keep
your subscription paid in advance.
Not necessarily year in advance.
you can pay it every month if you
wish-but keep it paid ahead if you
wish the Magazine.
The Magazine will contain 16
pages. with cover in two colors. and
it will be filled with choice reading
and illustrations and printed on good
