OF INTEREST no LADIES.

What is more uncomfortable to lady
in hot weather than close air tight cor
set? If this question could be asked of
congress of ladies. the answer would be
with one accord, Nothing!' And they
would be right Last year, Beard, the
Stationer, realizing the need of cheap
summer corset, had one made to order
that would be reasonable in price, yet
durable and comfortable. These were
put on the g Bargain Counter at 29c.-
The ladies saw them and the consequence
was, Beard could not get them fast enough
to supply the demand A large supply
has been secured for this year at the same
price, all sizes, and the ladies are respect
fully asked to call and examine them.

FREE ADVICE TO MEN.

1t is rather early to talk about spring
clothing, but just want to put you on your
guard. Jefferson county is chuck full of
so-called tailors to the trade. Grocery
stores, blacksmiths and even railroad
agents are in the business. The whole
thing in nut shell is, that they are TAX
ing orders for ready made clothing, and
the man that places his order with them
is paying from three to five dollars more
for suit of ready-rnade clothes than he
could have one made to order for at c.
E. Reininger's. He is making suits to
order from $1,000 up, and pants from
$3.50 up. Beware of the sweatshop
agents and see Reininger's assortments
of the latest novelties in suitings before

NO RUSH TO KLoNDIKE.
Material Falling on shown by Con
suIar Report.


The State Department is in receipt of
the following from Consul Smith. at Vic
toria, =. c.:
There has been a decided change in
the volume of travel north since my re-
port of February 10. 1895. Then it was
largely in excess of the estimates: but
the rush eliminated about March /. and
since then has decreased to one-fourth of
the travel during February. The diff
Guilty experienced at that time to secure
transportation for the prospectors has
changed, so that now it is a problem for
the various steamers even at reduced
rates, to secure sufficient patronage to
defray expenses. Instead of adding to
the large fleet then engaged in the trade
between Puget Sound and Victoria and
the different Alaskan gateways TO the
Klondlke region. several vessels have
been withdrawn from the service and
are now lying idle, at serious loss to the
owners and lessons. The vast crowds
during January and February caused
several vessels to be leased at rates vary
ing from S400 to $500 per day for the sea-
son; but since March l several of these
ing it less disastrous TO let them lie idle
than to run them with scarcely enough
passengers and freight TO pay for the
coal consumed.
The demand for miners licenses at the
custom house in Victoria has dropped
from an average of two hundred per day
sometimes even reaching six hundred
or seven hundred) to an average of less
than fifty per day. The same great fall
ing off is shown at all the points where
licenses can be obtained.
THE correspondence at this consulate
in regard to the Klondike has almost en-
tirely fallen off, and the callers here of
Americans on their way to the Yukon
desiring information or assistance have
also dropped to a very small number.
Several transportation companies have
been compelled to temporarily suspend
business, having suffered serious losses.
The defeat of the proposed Stikine.
Tesln Railway subsidy bill in the Cana
dian Senate is regarded here as an aban.
donment of the proposed railroad for this
year. and the provincial government has
determined to Immediately build a wagoI
road along the same route. A large
