TRADE DEMORALIZED.
st. Louis Solicitors Have Knocked the
Profits Out of Decoration Work.

st. Louis, Jan. 2O.-The flower trade
of St Louis is demOralized. The bet
ter class of florists complain that I'M
scrupulOus dealers are soliciting bust
ness at ruinOus prices. AS a result,
house and church decorations are far
below the standard in eastern cities,
and the profits of the florists are cor
respondingly poor.
Things must soon reach a crisis"
said well kaOwn Olive street florist
to a reporter yesterday. I'VE are get
ting less and less decoration work ev-
cry day. Soliciting has taken the place
of regular buying and selling, and peo-
pie who go in for cheap work are con-
Eliminating first class customers.
How do these trade killers know
whom to solicit? Very simple. They
watch the records of births, mar
riageS and deaths. These are the times
when decorations are generally en-
ployed. Not all of them ply their cal
ling in cases of funerals, and birth cele-
bratiOns are somewhat rare, but mar
riages make the harvest. Suppose
there is to be q. marriage in WeStmOre-
land place next week. The fact is an
nOunced in the society columns of the
newspapers, or otherwise made public.
The unethical florist pastes the notice
IN his hat, and makes a Decline for the
bride-tO-be's home. He tells what mag
nificent decorations he can furnish at
extremely reasonable prices. The wo-
man, with her eye out to save a dollar,
seiZes the chance. She doesn't know
what good decorations are-Very few
people do unless they have had much
experience in the matter She accepts
the solicitors offer to supply every
thing needed in the line of flowers and
plants for the wedding for one-half, or
perhaps as low as One-foUrth, the cost
charged by a florist who turns out
only the best quality of work The
wedding day comes. Mrs. So-and-so
tells her guests how cheap the decOra-
tions are, and how lovely. Yes. indeed.
they're beautiful, the guests respond,
and when they next require a florist
they go to the one who supplied the
starvation prices.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-Representative
johnson of North Dakota does not IA
vor the proposition of Senator Jones of
Arkansas to appropriate $3.50 for a
portrait of Sitting Bull. Mr. Johnson

a medicine man and not a warrior.
During the fight he was with the
squaws, out Of harms way, in the rear,
cooking mysterious herbs, dancing and
chanting lamentations to the devil Call,
Grass, Running Antelope and Rain-in-

MAIL GIVEN THE WORK.
The County Printing Awarded to Edi-
tor Capper's Paper.

The Mail won the fight with the Capital
for the county printing. J. G.. Wood rep
resented the Capital before the board. Ex-
County Clerk Charles T. McCabe spoke
for the Mail The Capital offered, as an
inducement, to print all the county
printing in the Sunday Capital free. All
three of the commissioners voted for the
Mail.
The point in question about the rate to
be charged for printing the delinquent tax
lists was settled by the board not disturb>
ing the rate. The county will pay half
legal rates for all county printing except
the tax lists and the full legal rate will
be allowed for that on account of the
complications that may arise over tax
sales.
