Note the Postal Law.

From now on all subscriptions
to The Chieftain must be paid in
advance. This is in accordance
with = new ruling of the postal
department which declares th..t
no claims for circulation will be
allowed except those based on
actual paid subscriptions.
In order to be admitted to the
postoffice the label on the wrao-
per of each paper must show
that the subscriber is not in ar
rears or receiving the paper
gratis.
The action Of the postoffice de-
partment makes it necessary for
all subscribers who receive their
paper through the mails, to pay
cash in advance.
While the new ruling may work
a temporary hardship on a few
subscribers it is believed that the
general effect will be beneficial
for all concerned.
Send in your checks now and
thus get square with Uncle Sam
and The Chieftain at the same
time
All subscribers failing to settle
BY April 1, 1908, will have to be
dropped, because Uncle Sam
not we-says so. Failing to hear
from you, collector will call, or
bill mailed.

It is also very probable that Reilly will be accused of breaking into Nolan's grocery store on Hamil- ton avenue some time ago. The po- lice said this afternoon when Reilly sobered up he would be informed that he would have to answer the charge of burglary also.
 Although it is difficult to get an estimate of what damage the fire at the corner of Grand and South Main streets did Saturday afternoon those who should know seem to think that a few thousand dollars will cover the entire loss. Chief snagg said to-day that he could not give good esti- mate of the loss but did not think it anywhere near the figures stated. None of the buildings were badly gut ted and the loss in stock was not at all heavy. The repairing of the building will be done in wood in all probability as the same material can be used unless fifty per cent of the value of the property was destroyed by fire.

SNEAK THIEVES
Rifled Store of William Daly of
 Stone Street.

Sneak thieves paid visit last night to the grocery and saloon or William Daly on Stone street ana after regaling themselves with the best in the place rifed the till or $20 in change left there since the place was closed Saturday nignt. Entrance was effected by lifting up the trap door in ti,e sidewalk and once in the cellar they experienced no trouble in getting into the upper portion of the building. IL is pret- ty lonesome spot after midnight and anybody at all familiar with the lay of the land would find little trouble in doing a few stunts there without much fear of detection. While the proprietor has no idea of who the offenders are it is safe to state th/t they knew the ropes else they never would have found their way through that aperture to the good things in the store and cash register. This is the first thing of the kind that has happened in that part Of the town for some time past, but 1t isn't much of a surprise, for at present and for some years the los between Sylvan avenue and Dublin street have been the rendezvous for an unusually large gang of strangers and 1t is a mystery to the neighbors how they manage to maintain them selves.
 The other evening three or four fellows held up pedestrian on Washington east of Sylvan avenue and were about to search his pockets when they were scared away by a team that happened along from the direction of Dublin street. This and other things of the kind that the police and others hear from day to day emphasize the need of a mounted officer in Wa terbury.
