CASH BASIS.

FIorence, Colo, Feb. I3, l9Ol
We, the undersigned laandrymen of
Florence, beg to inform you, that on and
after the llth day OF March, 1891, we
will adopt the cash system. This is made
necessary by the rapidly increasing num-
ber of accounts 'tnd our inability to col
lect same. This system may be new in
Florence but in other cities it is the only
one in vogue. With great many of our
customers we regret to be obliged to pur-
sue this course, but as we positively can
not discriminate, we trust that you will
appreciate our position.

Annual Reduction Sale
PoSToFFICE GROWING.
Present Business Promises Office
of the Second Class.

Postmaster Rant DO said this
morning that if business keeps in
creasing in the next few months
as it has so far during this fiscal
year, the Florence postotfice would
be entitled to the privileges of
second class office. The fiscal
year in the postotfice department
begins on July 1st. During the
first quarter, or rather from july
lst to October lst of last year, the
increase in sales of postage stamps,
stamped envelopes and box rents
was 5000 over the previous quar-
ter's business. The end of the
second quarter found an increase
of S700, and the end of the third
quarter which will be March 81,
will find gain corresponding to
that of the second To obtain the
privileges of second class Office
$4,000 worth of business must be
transacted yearly. This volume
of business must come from the
stamp department and box rentals.
The business of last month alone
in these departments amounted to
1000 and the business of the
present quarter will amount to
fully S2,400
If second class postotfice is es-
tablished here the building will be
used for no other purpose than for
postotfice. There will be no
stationery store occupying the
front part.
Postmaster Rambo is pleased
with the way the business has in
creased in the last seven months
and if the increase >ntinues in
another year, Florence, the Lilly of
the Arkansas, will be entitled to
free delivery.

Labor Unions Growing.

The labor unions of the city are
stronger today than at any time
since the movement started, the
ombined forces represent from
100 to 1900 men. The Mill q
Smeltermen's union is the banner
organization in strength in the
city, having in the neigh borhood
of 500 members and new applica-
tions are coming in at every meet
ing.
Eleven unions are affiliated with
the Trades Assembly and another
one probably will be shortly. The
blacksmiths have movement on
foot to organize union. All of
the organizations are growing
rapidly and are in prosperous
condition.

COMPULS sorry
FREE VACCINATION

Every person who has not been
successfully vaocinated within the
past five years must become so at
once.
That there may be no excuse for
anyone to object to vaccination,
the Board of Health has author
lied the physicians of Florence to
vaccinate all applicants. free of
charge.
Vaccination within FIVE years is
an absolute preventive against
smallpox and the most potent
means we have of stamping out the
disease.
Persons who fail to see that all
within their household are vaccin-
ated are liable to be quarantined

SECRETARY RooT has failed to
convince congress of the absurdity
of compelling the cadets at West
Point to go into the army on grad

knowledge of modern heavy ord

of all his efforts to remedy the
anomaly, the West Point appro-
priation bill contains no provision
for the new battery repeatedly
urged, and the cadets must con-
tinue to study ordnance with the

most of the manufacturers will grant a
raise to begin with and that no general
strike will ensue.
Representatives of the employees Of
Silk mills in Scranton, Pa, have arrived
in Paterson to induce the Paterson
Weavers not to work on any of the goods
that the Scranton firm is sending from
its mfil to have finished in the Paterson
mill. The committee met a number of
weavers. but has not yet been able to

A meeting of the weavers in Paterson
will be held tomorrow and action on the
request of the Scranton strikers will be
considered. The weavers say that it

mean general tie-up in Paterson, and.
working in conjunction with the weavers
in Pennsylvania, would create the big

A CUT AT OUR IRON MAKERS,
Heavy Tax on Iron in Revenge for
Sugar.

New York. Feb. 1S.--Count Cassini. the
Russian ambassador, is quoted in a
Washington dispatch to the Herald as
saying of the present American Russian
tariff situation:
Russia does not want, nor has she
any intention of engaging in a tariff war
with the United States. The application
or maXium rates to American cast iron
ana steel manufactures. machinery and
tCols was not dictated by any desire to
embark upon Il policy of vengeance be
cause of the decision of the secretary of
the treasury to collect the cOuntervailing
duty on Russian sugar. AS | have said
RuSsiaS feelings for the United States
are as they have always been, of the
most cordial nature. ! am sure that my
government and the Russian people re.
eret deeply that it was necessary to i'm
pose the maXium rates. American goods
are highly appreciated in Russia, not ouly
because of their cheapness but because of
their superior quality, and besides, they
come from Il land in which we have a
most friendly interest. Yet it was i'm
possible for my government to do other
than it has done. Our commercial inter-
csts demanded protection. Russia has
always strongly desired to increase her
commerce with the United States, and
1t has given us pleasure to witness it's
growth. Consequently we regret the
more deeply that anything should have
occurred to hamper it's development. So
| am confident that the action taken in
applying the maximum rates to certain
American imports has no reference what
ever to Russias historical attitude of
friendship toward the United States and
it will continue to be our policy to main
tain cordial relations with the United
StateS,'

in fact, the highest of all nations Now
If this additional duty is imposed upon
