All this week we will again
demonstrate the power of Cash
as applied to our store-Why
bargains unheard of elsewhere
can be found here. Why it
pays to be progressive. Why
Streicher's is a household name
to the money saving public ev-
erywhere.
We buy from the manufacturers
direct in large quantities lower
than any wholesalers outside of
New York; hence, we en- job
to dealers at good profit We
prefer to sell Is to 90 per cent
cheaper at retail, however, for
SPOT cash, rather than carry
accounts with various firms and
take chances ON losses.

WASHINGTON. March mo matter
what may be the result of the Maine

ban belligerency is assured The re-
publican platform Of 1890 pledged the
administration to this course and the
pledge will be kept. President Nc.
Kinley had well.detned programme
In relation to the Cuban question, and
while the Maine disaster has obscured
all other questions Of public concern,
there has been no change in conditions
which may require Encouragement of
the Cuban policy beyond that of war
II treachery is shown in the Maine in.
vestigation, The senate resolution ac-
cording belligerent rights to the in
surgents, now in the custody of the
house committee OF foreign affairs,
is constant temptation to the
overwhelming majority of Cuban
sympathizers in the house, and,
unless there is very decided evil
dcnce proving that autonomy has
been successfully inaugurated in the
unfortunate island, IL will require no
suggestion from the president TO have
the senate resolution called up for con-
sideration. Western representatives
are almost a unit for the Cubans,
and the sentiment in the east in favor
Of the struggling patriots is greater
than most people think. No one be-
lieves that Sagasta can produce shred
Of evidence showing autonomy to have
been anything but a dismal failure, so
Cuban recognition can be confidently
regarded as probability Of the imme-
date future.

MEAT INSPECTION.

Federal Judge II gers Says the Govern.
ment's Action In E.tablishlng 1t Is Void.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-. March 1.-The en-.
tive system of government inspection
OF meat. which has been established in
the packing-houses of the United
States. was declared to be unconstitu.
tional, ineffective and void in an opin-
ion handed down in the United States
district court here by Judge John ?.
Rogers federal Judge at Fort Smith,
Ark, who is sitting for Judge Philips.
An indictment against Harry Boyer,
foreman of the fresh meat depart.
ment of the Jacob Dold Packing com.
pany, charged with attempting to
bride government meat inspector,
was quashed on the ground that con-
gress had no. power to create the Of
flee OF meat inspector, SO that even II
Boyer had attempted to bride an in
spector, as was charged in the indict-
ment, he did not commit an offense
against the government.
The effect of the decision ia to de-
clare invalid the law by which people
who consume the products Of American
packing-houses are protected from i'm
pure or diseased meats. It's probable
that the decision will make necessary
complete reorganization of the
bureau of animal industry Of the de.
partment of agriculture.

Death Of y Recluse In california Reveals q
story OF Misfortune and Devotion.
OAKLAND, CAL, March 1.-The death
of Henry Odenkerchen, who was for
many years almost a recluse in the
lonely hills Of Altamont, has revealed
story of lost fortune and devotion to
a dead wife's memory. Thirty-fve
years ago he was one of the
wealthiest inhabitants of New Ha.
ven, Conn. He was identified with
the Winchester Arms company,
having many large contracts with
that corporation. He lost his
fortune through shipwreck, which
carried TO the bottom cargo OF am
munition and arms in which he was
heavily interested. Before he came TO
California his wife died. Her remains
were inferred in New Haven cemetery.
AS the city grew it encompassed her
resting place. A short time before his
death the husband refused to accept
$4,000 for the plot.
