Another break took place in the Lon
don silver market this week. To all
appearances it was the result of di-
minished demand for the East, with
a pressure of offerings of the metal
from the United States and other pro-
ducing countries. The price of bars
per ounce, however, fell from q 9-16d
to 27 3-16d, with a similar decline in
the New York figures, from 601sc to
$3.50. This was, however, followed by
a rally in the quotations.

A Cure for Cholera Infantum.

"Last May" says Mrs. Curtis Baker Ot BOukwaIter, Ohio, 'an infant child of our neighbours was suffering from cholera infantum. The doctor had given up all hopes of recovery. I took a bottle of Characteristics COlic, ChOl- era and Diarrhoea Remedy to the house, telling them 1 felt sure it would do good if used according to directions. In two days time the child had fully recovered, and is now (nearly year since) vigorous, healthy girl. 1 have recommended this Remedy frequently aud have never known it to fail in any single instance.

vast volume of smoke going up an
 nually from all the coke ovens anc
 factories in the world" said MT
 Albert D. Shrewsbury of Washing
 ton, D. C. in conversation witt
 THE OASIS editor one day last week
 (which science had demonstrated
 dissipated into the air more and
 greater values than those saved and
 used in the furnaces and ovens; and
 realizing that if conserved and saved
 those values would meet an i'm
 mense commercial use, I thought
 it well worth my while to devote
 my time and money to solution
 of the problem of conservation of the unseen forces annually going to
 waste in the production of steam
 and other methods of manufacture
 in which the consumption of fuel
 IS an important factor. So 1 devot-
 ed all the time l could spare from
 my law practice to study of the problem, expending great deal of money in experiments of all kinds, gradually bringing to perfection process and the mechanical applian- ces necessary thereto, until now all the objects sought have been at tained, and patents secured in the United States, and are pending in Great Britain. Canada, Australia, and all the countries of continental Europe. The company organized in Arizona, the articles of incorpo- ration of which are published in THE OASIS, will handle these pa tents and products made hereunder. Our reasons for coming all the way to Arizona to incorporate is the well known liberality of the Arizona corporation laws"
 The gentleman, who is widely known as having been many years associated with one of the principal law firms practicing in the City of Washington, D. C., has found time to conceive, elaborate and bring to perfection a mechanical process which is destined to work a revolu- ton in the mechanic arts, and to incidentally enrich the inventor and all associated with him in the ex- ploitation of his process and the products thereof.
 In short article last week THE OASIS pointed out the great saving in mlrine transportation alone which will be annually effected by using the coke made by the Amer ican Fuel & Product Co. Beside that there are the great values saved by the process from al the smoke now going to waste. A large pro- portion of smoke arising from coke oven or a furnace is coal tar in vaporous condition. By MT. { Shrewsbury's process in the mak- ing of the coke all this coal tar is precipitated and conserved. From z coal tar there are manufactured nearly 400 articles of commercial, | use and value, for all of which | |

President Mckinley is Dead
EEEEE%Sl

Yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock the British Steamer Hating came up the channel with her flags at half-mast. Judge Bach immediately telephoned over to the central office in Juneau for news of the President and an anxious crowd of citizens waited for the reply. In a few minutes the word came that death had relieved the sufferings of the nations chief executive at 2:3O o'clock on the morning of the 14th inst.
 Judge Bach brought out his grand old flag, that has waved over the city on SO many joyous occasions and sad fy raised it to half-mast. The news, posted on bulletin boards, spread rapidly,and the grief of the nation was shared by the loyal people of Douglas Island.
 William Mckinley was born at Niles, Trumbuu County, Ohio, January 29th, 1g43, of Scotch-Irish ancestry. His father William Mckinley was an iron manufacturer. His mothers maiden name was Nancy c. Allison. He was not graduate of any college, although the degree of B. A. was conferred upon him by Williams college. He engaged in the practice of law in early life, which profession he still followed when elected to the presidency in 1896. He was married in 1871 to Miss Ida Saxton who survives him.
 It Is the opinion of many that Wll- liam Mckinley as president of the United States has displayed more of the ability of statesman than any president since the days of Abraham Lincoln. Be that as it may, yet, it is a fact that today the nation mourns not only for the loss of it's chief executive but for the loss of William Mckinley the man and statesman.
 For the third time in the history oi our country, the nation is wrapped in sorrow for the loss of president at the hand of an assassin. Just twenty years ago tomorrow James A. Gar field died at Long Branch, N.J., from the effects of an assassin's bullet, and sixteen years prior to that Abraham Lincoln lay in the sleep of death from the same cause. What fearful com mentary on people, blessed with 8 most wonderfully productive country and a height of freedom perhaps never hitherto attained in any land.

 Mir. J. c. Mitchell, of Seattle, who or ganized the Douglas Aerie, says:
 I left Seattle on the good ship Dol phin. and in due time arrived in Doug las City, and found some of the boys on the dock awaiting my arrival. A meeting was soon called and e bug zards were duly and legally converted into real live Eagles. remained with the boys several days and had several meetings, made necessary by the fact that one-half of them worked at night and the other half in the day time. Douglas Aerie is all right, and will be heard of in the near future as one of the liveliest nests of birds in Alaska.
 The officers are as follows:

rapidly. 40 this age Of sharp competi-
uon, merchants are looking more closely
after prices, and they are finding that
they can buy at wholesale from this house
cheaper than by sending their orders
sway from home and paying freights.
The reason for this is that the Sullivan
Hardware Co. are always wide awake and
make contracts ahead with the manufec-
turer direct; besides they employ a resi-
dent buyer In New York, with branch
offices In other cities. who keep in touch
with all large factories, which gives this
