A M6sTEa DEAL.
Coordination " Clothing Makers o.
the County, in Prospect.

y" l"sL'cCS.
Chicago manufacturers of clothing,
representing All aggregate capital OF S15,-
100000 to s2o,000,OOO, met and decided 10
form an association which will combine
with similar bodies throughout the United
States. The step was taken as the result
OF a visit of eastern delegates who nave
for years been trying to effect a combina-
ton of all the large manufacturing houses
in the United States.
While the leaders in the so called ASSOC
citation deny that any efforts TO regulate
prices are contemplated, the combination
will be more powerful and will represent
more capital than almost any of the rccs
ognlzed trusts. Already the New York
association has a total capital of upward
of $780, OO, 900, and with the factories of
six other eastern cities in the union an.
other 500, 900, 900 is added.
The Chicago merchants were the first
westerners to join. Their decision, il is
SAID, will bring the houses of Milwaukee,,
st. Louis, Cincinnati and other towns into
the national association. Later San Fran
cisco's cooperation is to he sought, and
the south will also be visited. III is the in
tention of the promoters to affiliate with
every large clothing factory in America.

ANOTHER RUSSIAN FAMINE.
Fearful State of Destitution Prevail,
iipE in Siberia.

1--WE IN siberia.
Famine has again appeared in Russia,
this time in western and central Siberia,
while in eastern Siberia the people are
on the verge of van In the two for
mer sections of Siberia the famine was
brought about by drouth, not a drop of
rain having fallen during the spring of
1900. AS Il consequence the crop was n
failure and eve the grass was burned
under the glaring heat of the sun. For
want of fodder the peasants had to sell
their cattle at ruinous prices. Thousands
of immigrants who settled in that section
of Siberia within the past few years and
who had little or nothing to fall back
are now wandering from town to
and perishing by scores. The more
settlers are reduced to eating
l%icorice. weeds and bread mixed with
cla:-.
In eastern Siberia the conditions are
moi much of an improvement over those
in the other sections. All last summer
it rained constantly, flooding the fields
and rotting the crops. Bread has risen
600 per cent in price and children are dy.
ing from conditions consequent upon in.
sufficient nourishment.

bushels of corn in store here on delivery

100000 and 5000, 900 which the bears
have contracted to deliver him, but at
