Everybody with the perceptive
abilities of a two-year-old will rec

kinds of clothing business. One is
the noisy and sensational, while
the other is the conservative and
neritorious. One deals in the
sham and snowy style of the cir

to the exact style and satisfa action
|of the customer. One will tell how
they sell goods for less than cost,
the other argues on the best quail
ty, and endeavors to persuade the
public that in the genuine is the
satisfaction. One deals in sidewalk
solicitation, button holing the
passer-by, while the other, relying
on the merit of his goods and the
correct principles OF the day,
makes his general appeal in the
legitimate manner and does the
balance Of his business inside his

It is sad commentary on the

HE IS NOW DEAD, SURE.
Dalmaceda, the Dictator, Shoots Himself
at Santiago.

VALPARAISO, Chill, Sept. lex
President Balmaceda is dead. lie shot
himself Yesterday in his room at the
Argentine legation at Santiago. Failing
to escape from the country, he probably
realized that his capture could not long
be delayed, and he knew that meant
death at the hands of the Congresslon-
alists. He evidently preferred to. die
by his own hand rather than by those
of a public executioner, Thus closes
the life of the president and dictator
who risked everything for the power
and wealth which he sought and which
would have been his if the war had
terminated as he hoped and expected.
The Junta was notified, and COM
mittee. immediately went to the house
and viewed the body. AS the news
spread about Santiago great crowds of
people gathered around the Argentine
legation. They cheered, hooted, and
went into a frenzy over the death of
their chief enemy. Above all the dis
cordaut shouts were heard cries con-
graduating the unfortunate Balmaceda
that in taking his own life he had es-
capped worse fate.
Balmaceda's body has been removed
to the general cemetery. 1t was accom-
panied by the members of the family
and friends. The widow of the dead
ex-President was informed of his tragic
death by her brother, Domingo Zorro.
1t is the general belief that Balma-
ceda's death will hasten, in great de-
gree, the restoration of peace through
out Chilli Now that the chief enemy
of the victorious Junta is no more it is
likely that his followers will be shown
mercy, since without Balmaceda to di-
rect them they are very little to be
feared
Italy, France, Sweden and Norway
have followed the lead of the United
States in official recognition of the
Junta. Germany, it will be remem-
bered, was the second nation to do So.
No official recognition has yet come
from England. This creates consider

Interesting Decision of the Treasury De

Interesting Decision of the Treasury De-
partment Tariff Point.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 21.-The
Treasury Department has just rendered
a decision which is Of interest to the
great brewing industry of Milwaukee.
Inquiry was received from the
collector of customs there as to
whether the brewer who used
malt made from imported barley was
entitled to drawback, eQuivalenttot the
duty paid on the barley by the maltster,
or whether the drawback should
be paid to the maltster. The
department decides that it should
be paid to the brewer or exporter and
not to the maltster and adds that the
barley cannot be converted into matt in
bond, but must be entered for
consumption and the duty paid.
The facts of the importation
of the barley and subsequent CONVEX
sion into malt must be final and rest in
the brewing of the exported beer. 1t
must be established at the port of entry
for drawback on the beer.

CANADA'S PRIME MINISTER.


He Dares His Rivals to Investigate Him.
Premier MERCER, of Canada, has
thrown the gauntlet to Lieut. Gov. An
giers, and defies him to appoint a royal
commission to inquire into the Bale DIES
Chaleurs doodle" charges. Mercier's
personal organ, La Justice, says that a
civil war would result before the Lieu
tenant Governor would be permitted
to take any high-handed proceedings.
The French Conservatives are advising
Anglers to dissolve the legislature, and
a most virulent newspaper war is going
on between the opposing factions. Mer-
cier has sent letter to the lieutenant
governor stating that he would not al
low an autocrat to override him and that
he was responsible to the people alone
for his conduct.
The letter predicts that IN a conflict
between a lettering monarchy and the
flag of an uncompromising democracy
the final victory will not rest with the
former. The position taken by MERCER
is that he is prime minister by popular
will and can defeat twenty governors
who will hold their power from source
not in keeping with modern ideas.

THIS OFFICIAL.
Representative of the Sultan on the
NIityIene Picnic.


An officer sent expressly by the Sui
tan has returned to Constantinople from
Mitylene. He brings the report that
there is no sign of British occupation,
but the inhabitants say that British
force landed on the island
and remained there two days,
holding intercourse by boats
with the war vessels off shore. The
facts do not indicate that there was q
picnic or drill party, as stated but that
the British landed there for the pur-
pose of examining the surroundings
with the view to possible operations in
the future.
The British squadron in the Levant,
Admiral Lord Kerr commanding, left the
waters of N1itylene on Sunday last. tits
now learned that it was occupied in ex-
tensive submarine mining operations off
Sigri and engaged in several trial night
attacks with torpedoes. This informa-
ton comes presumably from Admiral
kerr's official report of the proceeding,
which has reached the admiralty office.
No mention is made of the landing of
marines or guns on the island

or thieves must have cleverly
watched for the proper oppor-
tunitv to accomplish the robbery
and to have gained access to an
apartment near the main entrance TO
the bank. This apartment was easy OF

manager of the bank, and II. t. Bill

clined to make any statement Tor publ
cation as to the actual loss incurred,
but it is currently reporter tna'
the amount stolen is not less than 500,
600, and that it may amount to as much
as 81 100000. The bank officers, the
city police authorities and the criminal
investigation department of Scotland
Yard are putting forth the utmost exer-
tons in order to effect the capture of the
thieves. Notice of the robbery has been
sent to the police centers Throughout
the British Isles and on the
continent, and the sailing o9j
every passenger vessel is being watched
Notice has also been sent to all the
banks upon which the bills were drawn,
but the police theory is that no attt mpi
will be made to change the bills in this
country, but that the thieves will have
recourse to the continent, where the
presence of so many wealthy travellers
from the United States make such trans
actions easier than in this country.

of the flood at Consuegra can be gagged
from the fact that the water rose eight

WORK OF A MOB.

DAr1ISaroN, Wis, Sept. 21.-At noon
to-day Anton sieboldt, the murderer
of James Meigan, was taken from JAIL
at this place by mob and hanged.
Since the day tho crime was COM
mitted there have been threats OF mop
law. but the authorities probably really
apprehended no attack on the jail. inns
morning. however, people began
to arrive in the city by two and threes
and half-dozens, until crowd of fully
200 excited persons were in the village.
AS the hour of IL approached the
county Jail was surrounded by the mob.
It was then evident to the Jail officials
that the mob was in earnest. Cries OF
"give us the keys" "bring out the pr's-
oner," "open the door," chatter down
the doors" etc., were raised on every
hand.
The prisoner, who was confined IN
one Of the strongest iron-bound cells IN
the Jail. heard the cries and shouts OF
the mob and trembled and moaned
ard shrieked alternately.
The demands for the keys were lg-
nored bv the sheriff and his deputies.
The doors were locked and protected
by heavy bars.
r.
When the mob saw that the doors OF
the Jail would not be thrown open they
procured axes and sledges and attacked
the panels of oak and maple.
The doors cracked and bent under
the shower of blows, but held firm for
a moment. Then the blows fell thicker
end faster. A cracking and splintering
was followed by crash, and the mob
was in the jail.
Other barriers gave way one after an
other. The sheriff and the jailor at
tempted to protect the prisoner, but
were overpowered in an instant and dis
armed. Straight toward the cell where

the men who had determined to avenge
Meighan's murder. The iron bars gave
way like pipe stems,
A rope was in hand and moose was
put around the mans neck.
Out of the jail hurried the shouting
throng, hustling the prisoner through
the corridor and out into the court
house square.
There was halt but for an instant;
then the rope was over the limb and
half hundred willing hands were jerk
ing the struggling form of the murderer
upward.
Hardly had the body Of the man been
strung up when silence fell over
the crowd that had assembled. 1t
seemed as if until that moment the
mob did not realize what it was doing;
but when the mans life had gone out
there came the knowledge of their aw
full deed.
The lynchers quickly dispersed. But
in their places came hundreds to see
the body Of the murderer and inspect
the jail and the scene of the hanging.
