SOME STARTLING FACTS.
The Discovery Of the Cause Of Most On
timely Deaths that Como upon
tho Community. !

The Official returns Of the City Of New York show
that nearly three-fourths Of all deaths are from
consumption When We stop 70 calmly think over
this fact. tt u really awful And yet every case
without exception started from small beginnings.
A cough In the morning; tickling In the throat;
. thick phlogmy discharge ohilliness at night;
dinaeult breathing; . tghtness across the chest;
these and many more symptoms indicate the pres
snos Of that terrible disease which, unless checked
means certain death with long and painful suffer-
ing.
In view Of such serious and everpresent facts
the suggestions and advice Of the most sminens
physicians arc Of the greatest value.

Geians in London. says: "scienss. common sense

CUTTING GARMENTS FOR iiEN.
How Ready Mado Clothing Is Mado ts
Fit tho Average Customer.

Every man Of we'll proportioncd figure
can 60 into u ready made clothing cstab-
llshmcnt and purchase suit that will ut
him tolerably well for very little money
There was u time when tho piiccs were
not SO reasonable md tho fit of tho gar
nlcnts not so satisfactory. The ready
made business has been carried to n de-
gree Of perfection during tho past few
years that has made hankrrpts Of many
custom tailors. Deductions have been
drawn from experience experiments have
been tried, and the human figure has
been SO carefully studied, that M average
measurement has been established where
by ninc out Of every ten men can bc fitted
to their satisfaction.
The syst"li of cutting garments adopted
by the lc.linI establishments is known rs
the progressive method" 1t starts from
the chest measurement and works accord.
Ing IL '"w o. progression. 1t hns been

inches across the chest the other proper
tions increase progressively threc.fourths
Of IN inch around the shoulders and one
half an inch ut the shoulder blade for every
additional inch Of chest measurement.
Tho trousers arc secondary matter.
They are made Of all sizes, to suit long
and short legged men alike.
or course many men cannot be fitted

made for the average figure, and not for
the peculiar build Of badly formed men.
The progressive method" has proved so
successful that even custom tailors have
adopted the chest measurement to start
from making other notifications in the
cut OF the garments nfterward to suit the
proportions Of their patrons. Some tailors
advertise by circulars to make perfectly
fitting garments from the measurement Of
the chest alone.-New York Mail and

There arc not more than nfty pug dogs
In st. Louis, and yet they are In great do
mand. Tho reason they cannot be sup
piled Is because they arc hard to get.
Their race peculiarities arc strange, and
hence they do not multiply as rapidly rs

are had ut one litter, and they will not re-
tain their breed II crossed When thus
crossed with other breeds the puppies loso

scnble the crossed breed. This Is good
explanation OF their rarity. IL was only
In the last flfty years that these pets OF
society could he obtained by everybody.
They were formerly bred by certain mem-
bcrs Of tho nobility Of Europe, and the
strain remained u family possession. The
qualification Of being rare was not tho
only ono that rendered the pug valuable.

a case where n pug dog had the rabies.

THE afternoon reports bring the
startling intelligence that Emperor
William, Of Germany, 10 dying, and in
all probability before closing the re-
ports for the night word will be re-.
ceived Of the fatal termination OF his
illness. The attack is n very sudden
one, but the death of Emperor Will
liam will not take the civilized world
by surprise, as he was lar advanced
in years and his dissolution could
not have been postponed much
longer. He is one of the most CON
spicuous potentates of the present day,
and his life, 30 long prolonged be-
yond TINT Of tho great majority oi
men, has been IL remarkable one
William l. (Wilhclm Friedrich Lud-
wig) king Of Prussia and emperor of
Germany, was born in 1897 and Is
therefore ninety.ono years OF ago.
He has been at the head OF the des-
tiuies of the German empire for
many years, and has built it up to II
place among the first nations OF the
earth. His reign has by no means
been an entirely peaceful one, but he
proved warrior king when called
into the field, and won his spurs on
many ensanguined field. He was
found as terrible in war as he was
generous and noble in peace, and
after compelling his enemies to
respect him he paid attention to inn
proving the condition Of his subjects.
Under his benign rule Germany has
prOspered as no other country in
Europe, and his loss is serious blow
TO that country. That he was be.
loved by the whole people there needs
but the universal sorrow that will be
shown among the race, upon his
death, not only at home but where
ever the language is spoken. The
death of Emperor William, which will,
it is expected, be soon followed by the
demise Of the Crown Prince, leaves
Germany in u very unsettled cUndi-
tion, and is especially unfortunate at
this period, when the clouds of
gigantic struggle seem to be gather
ing over that part of Europe.

THE END OF THE CHAPTER.
The Last Act In a Very Interesting
and Singular Drama

Last May barke, per well known
here was found dead at Spokane
Falls, with IL pistol bullet in his tenn
Pile. The coroner's jury, after invest.
eating the circumstances of his dealt
returned verdict of suicide, which
was supported by the evidence. The
chief OF police OF Spokane Falls was
positive that it was no' n case uf
suicide, and thought that Fallon had
been foully murdered by his wife Efiie
and oi.e Mike Liebold. He also
wrote u letter to u gentleman i'm this
city, expressing his belief in the MUIR
der theory. Six days after Fallon's
death Liebold and Effie Fallon were
married in Spokane Falls and came
here with the intention of opening,
saloon, but did not remain long.
They then went to Gilroy, Cal, where
Mrs. Liebold died very suddenly
about three months ago. Liebold
soon left Gilroy, and nothing more
was heard of him. Yesterday u busi-
ness man OF this city received u letter
from Deputy Marshal J. F. Hamilton
OF San Jose. CAL, who states that
bold was killed February 28th, at a
small town forty-ive miles south Of
San Jose. He got into a row withL
gambler while playing poker, and was
shot dead. Liebold was not very we'll
known in Portland, his Visits here
having been very brief. He is said TO
have killed u man some years ago ut
Vancouver B. c., and that he was run
out of the Occur 'Alene mines by a
vigilance committee. Among the
articles found on him when killed was
the busin IS card Of the gentleman
who received the information of his
death.-Portland Oregonian.

ONLY few days ago an item was
published in this paper, taken from
q California exchange, giving a sensa-
tional account of the queer capers of
the spirit of Etfie Leibold, relict of
Tom Fallon, the individual who
made his exit from this life by the
pistol route, whether fired by his own
hands or others interested in his eter-
nal absence being mooted question
which the public acquainted with the
circumstances have never satsfac.
torily settled in their own minds. II
it were a murder, and everything con-
nected with the terrible and sudden
eclipse of Fallon's existence tends to
confirm that suspicion, tho facts will
never be known, for the last of the
trio that figured in the bloody chapter
of life has met with tragic end. Lie
bold is reported rs having been killed
in fracus in small California town
on the 28th Of last month. The death
Of Fnllon will ever remain q mystery,
and it little matters now, for his COM
panions in life, and maybe his.execu-
TONERS, are beyond all earthly punish
ment. 1t seems strange that fatality
should follow up this couple SO rapidly
and both should meet with violent
deaths within less than year after
the dramatic scene in a dimly lighted,
rcpulsive looking dive in Spokane
Falls. Vengeance is mine, sayeth the
Lord, and in this instance Ho made
no mistake in getting there with both
feet.
