JOSEPH CONNOR AND SON
 STORE BURGLARIzED THURSDAY NIGHT

The third burglary in little more than month occurred some time Thursda2 night or early Friday morning at th' store of Joseph Connor X Sons. of S8-7i Water street, wholesale grocers and tr- hacco dealers, and large quantity Of cased goods were stolen by the thief who made a clean getaway.
 The break was discovered Friday morning by Joseph Connor when the store was opened for business. Inside the store there was evidence that a burglar had been busy and an invegti- gation led to the discovery that a pane Of glass in window on the Main street side of the store had been broken, the burglar making his escape that way.
 A peculiar incident was that outside the building leading from the window with the broken glass the tracks made by the burglar leaving the building are plainly visible in the snow. These tracks lrad away from the store and although a search was made on all sides of the store no tracks could be found showing that the burglar had made an entrance into the store. MT. Connor believes that the burglar evil dently made the break into the store by way of the roof, or had entered the building during the day, hid somewhere in the building and made his cleanup and escape after the help had gone home for the night. The fact that the tracks of the mans feet are noticed leading away from the building seems to s11bstantiate this belief. and also to point out that the break was on=- man job.
 There is every evidence that the burglar believed himself to be entirely safe from detection, as evidence within the store shows that he must have been

at work there for a number of hours before making his escape. Knowledge that the burglar worked inside rns store for some time is gained by marks on a heavy door inside the store that leads into the room where thousands of dollars worth of tobacco is stored. This heavy door had been battered and hacked by some instrument but with stood the attack and afte= working sn it wi<1out success the burglar gave il up and paid attentisn to window that opened into the tobacco department. This window was heavily bolted ana showed marks of a heavier instrurnN Nnt. Like the heavy door, the window alsn withstood the attack of the burglar and only by the fact that such safe meth ods were taken by Connor x Sons to protect this valuable stock was 3 greater loss prevented
 The police were notified of the break Friday morning and made an invessi- gation. A search of the premises out side of the building led to the discovery of jimmy, evidently used hv the bur glar ;n his endeavor to force the doo1 and window leading into the tobae2; department No other clues could ne store showed that the burglar has taken his time and selected only tbt best stock to take with him.

INSURANCE POLICIES FOR
 ATLANTIC, CARTON EMPLoYEs

The Atlantic Carton corporation in the past has give neach of it's employees S5 as Christmas gift. This year the off, cers of the corporation presented each employe life insurance policy. the cost of which is fully paid by the corporation, and the insurance remains in force as long as the insured remains in the organ ization. The minimum policy is for $500 and increases with each year of service $1o0. Those who have served the cor poration for several years received poli- cies for $1 900, which is the maximum amount of insurance.
 The policies offer an additional feature of total and permanent disability so that in case of total incapacity for work the amount of the face of the policy becomes due to the. insured.
