A Card From M. Strouse.

Do not think because we are selling
ready to wear mems and boys cloth
ing that we do not make fine and fin
esG garments to order. for we do max 10
such exact fits that no tailor, here or
elsewhere can improve on it. We re-
quire no changing or trying on. The
firm of Born & Co. Chicago are sending
us 1000 samples of the newest richest
goods and their prices are from So to
SO below any other tailor. If no fit,
you are free not to take said garments
and the prices are printed and estab-
lished to rich or poor alike. Come
and see and get acquainted with lower
prces and finer goods. Yours.

CREMATION OF THE DEAD.
New York Newspaper Gives Reason
for Its Adoption.


Cremation merely reaches in a
shorter period the same final result as
burial, says Municipal Affairs. Fleshy
parts of the corpse decompose in the
earth in five or ten years: during the
whole period of decomposition they
constitute nothing but a putrid mass
OF carrion. Bones which take CEN
turies to crumble are unceremoniously
carted from one cemetery to another
when necessity compels their removal
and increase the horror of death after
they have ceased to be identified and
claimed. If they are converted, with
the flesh, into ashes in one hour they
are insured against desecration. The
volume and weight of bodies are re-
duced by the process of cremation
some 95 per cent.
If ashes were placed in the grave of
an urn cemetery, as occasionally is
done, the dead would leave more room
for the living than their intact bodies
demand. Two hundred city lots are
now required to bury in the old fash
ioned way the seventy thousand per
sons that annually die in Greater New
York. We probably could save more
than a hundred and fifty OF these pre-
cious lots if ashes of the seventy thou
sand were placed in urn cemeteries,
preserved in inches of a columbarium
or strewn on the waves OF a river. AS
cemeteries are exempt from taxation
the municipality would derive an in
come from the lots which the living
then would use and from the improve
ments they would make upon them.

TROUBLE IS BREWING.
Row Betweet Stockmen Of Canada and
the United States.

Vancouver B. c., Feb. 2O.-Another
matter which is not calculated to inn
prove relations between Canada and

at the first annual meeting of the
National Association Of Canadian stock
breeders. British Columbia viii be rep
resented at the gathering, which Is
to start on March 7, and will last the
best part Of week.
The stockbreeders Of Canada have
grievance against the United states
which is likely again to be much dis
cused. At present no Canadian records
are recognized by the United States
agricultural or treasury departments
Animals recorded in Canadian records
are not allowed to enter into the Unit
ed States duty free to obtain that
privilege they must be recorded IN
American records. But the Canadians
do not like the methods used by the
Americans, claiming that the asso-
Citations are controlled by few wealthy
men. to the detriment of the rank and
file of the farmers.
1t is urged that it is time that Can
ada had national records that the
Canadian department of agriculture and
the dominion railways to refuse to rec
ognize American records, thus paying
the republic back in its own coin, and
that all Canadians should refuse to
support American records.

MINE PROPERTY DAMAGED.
Snow Slides Near sumpter Prove to
Be Disastrous.

Sumpter. Ore, Feb. 2O.-Slides Of
snow, racing down the mountain sides,
have done extensive but at present in
estimable damages at the Alpine and
the Chloride mines. Absence Of
deaths was little short of miraculous.
Snow slides are proving unusually
disastrous this season. For the past
four winters the Blue mountains have
not been visited by any extraordinary
snowfalls like those of former years.
During the last four years most of the
mining development Of the Sumpter
district has been done. and not much
attention has been paid to snow slides.
Mine buildings have been erected in
places that are extremely dangerous
from this point Of view, and mine
owners this season are fast finding that
out. Three or four disastrous slides
have already occurred and with the
coming of warmer weather others can
be looked for. One fortunate feature
of the disasters that have resulted so
far is that not one life has been lost. d.
The two most destructive slides this
winter were those that visited the Al
pine and Chloride properties, the for
mer in the Gable Cove and the latter
in the Rock creek district. These
mines are many miles apart, but both
suffered heavy damage. The Alpine
was covered up Sunday, and the Chic
ride on Monday of last week. A crew
was employed at the Alpine, and de-
spite the fact that many of the mine
buildings were completely demolished,
no one was even hurt.
At the Chloride no doubt different
story would have to be told had any
one been at the mine during that time,

but luckily ii was deserted for the time
being.
The avalanche started fully 1000 feet
above. and came down with a deafen-
ing roar. Every movable object In Its
path was swept along to the bottom.
The buildings of the Chloride We're en-
quilted in the snowy depths, and COM
pletely obliterated from the sight OF
men. Much of the debris was carried
several hundred feet down the canyon,
and there it rests. a mute evidence OF
mans insignificance when pitted
against the elements.
The damage to the property cannot
be estimated until the snow has melted
sufficiently TO allow of an investiga-
tson, but it will be considerable. This
is the third slide that has occurred at
Rock creek this season.

So far as was learned, there were no
further desertions fro mthe dredge
Chinook yesterday. The men who left
the vessel the previous day have not
made any effort to get back their
places, and the work of shipping crew
has gone on. Since the trouble came
up detachment of soldiers has been
on the vessel and the effects Of all the
men were searched before they were
permitted to leave the ship. The Off
GERS of the vessel expect to complete
the crew within a few days. 1t was
stated yesterday that others Of the
crew would also leave, but this state
ments was not borne out by develop
ments, as far as could be learned.

ENLlsTINe FROM CINCINNATI.
Many Young Officers Are Going to the
Far East.

Cincinnati, Feb. 2O.-Agents of the
Japanese secret service are quietly at
work in the United States offering IN
iucements to former officers who saw
service in the Spanish American war
10 accept commissions in the Japanese
army.
In Cincinnati fully 15 young Ameri-
can soldiers, now in private life, have
signed to go to the far east and lead
the Japanese against the Russians.
Among them is Lieutenant j c. Ma
lone, of Rough Rider fame, who made a
reputation for daring with the Ninth
Massachusetts regiment at the battle
of FL canev.
Lieutenant Malone has accepted a
senior captaincy in the royal Japanese
army and viii sail in a few days direct
for Port Arthur.
A Iieutenancy in the regular army OF
the United States pays $1400 year.
American soldiers taking service with
the japanese will receive $500 year
as first lieutenant and $24OO a year as
captains. Lieutenant Malone will re-
ceive $500 a year.
Notice of what the Japanese govern
ment agents propose has been quietly
circulated among Spanish American
war veteran associations, and many
Cincinnatians are answering the call /.
