vaccinating Sugar Mill Men.

MARTINEZ, April l0.-The man
ayers, of the California and Ha
waiian Sugar Refinery at Crockett
have employed eight physiciars
and have peremptorily ordered the
400 employs at the sugar works
to submit to vaccination. The
order said that any employees who
refused to submit to vaccination
at once discharged, Thus far ak
teen men are reported to have ac-
cepted the alternative OF losing
their jobs rather than suffer the
medical men to inject the vaccine
into their systems Three cases Of
alleged smallpox in a boarding
house at Crockett is given as the
cause OF the order for wholesale
vaccination.

a CRISIS IN ENG AND.
Ministry Puts a wer Tax on Bread

Ministry Puts wer Tax on Bread
LONDON, April ID "A crisis in the
affairs OF the British Government
was reached this afternoon, when,
| to meet the expenses OF the Boer
war, bread tax was imposed.
Almost before the announcement
had been completed in the House
OF Commons by Sir Michael Hicks
Bsach, Chancellor OF the Exchequer,
the streets were ringing with the
newsboys' cries OF "Tax on Bread, y
1t caused great excitement. The
bulletin board, before all the news.
papers are beseiged by thousands Of
intensely interested citizels
Angry criticisms OF 1.-THE Ministry's
action are heard on every side. 1t
is feared that the bread tax will
cause the overturning of the Sails
bury Ministry. The military and
the police have been warned to be
prepared to suppress rioting.
The House was greatly surprised
when the Chancellor recon- mended
the reimposition of the ancient
registration duty on all grain i'm
ported into the kingdom, which
means tax OF 6 cents on each liz
pounds. He also imposed tex oil
10 cents on each ll2 pounds Of -four
This virtual resurrection OF the old
corr laws in mild form OF tax will
affect the United States more than
any other country. 1t is a startling
departure from highlands tradition
al free trade policy, as the grain tax
is tantamount to protective duty,
although it is levied only TO raise
war revenue.

A LIssoN IN ADvIRrIsrHo.

"Montgomery Ward & Co. and
Sears, Roebuck & Co. of Chicago,
and many other like firms, are
being patronized by people who
are certainly under obligations to
trade with their home merchants.
Only this week one of the above
firms sent out circulars to the
effect that Mrs. So-and-So, your
neighbor, had just received their
mammoth catalogue and she would
be pleased to show it to you so
you can make selections. Con
don Times.
This trade naturally belongs to
the home merchant provided he
makes the same attempt to reach
the customer as the above Chicago
firms. The. secret of the whole
matter is the fact that Sears, Roe
buck & Co. ct. al, advertise their
goods and prices, wherein the
merchants of some home towns do
not. 1t is no wonder the business
and money is sent to Chicago, for
a glance over the columns OF some
Of the home papers, would ind;-
cate to the prospective buyer that
no firms in these towns wanted
business. 1t pays to advertise L.
Ultimately, frankly and continu-
ously for then your name becomes
household word in the commu-
nifty. When every cent, paid to
your home paper for acquainting
its readers with the fact that your
goods are put on the shelf to be
sold, is begrudged, then it is no
wonder business is dull and the
orders go to the firms that adver-
tise.

transforms. The downpour made the roads
almost impossible and the party was re-
tarded every mile or so by booming streams

beginning to be feared that the doctor and
his party had been killed by hostile In

that he will bubble with wit, humor, remi-

of pearls to drop out. In Washington, not
SO long ago, Timothy Murphy, preceded by
his reputation for story telling, was called
on by a reporter, who began: Mr.. Muir
