At l O'Clock Monday morning
September 14th, &c. S. Fassett
passed from busy life to the
great beyond.
The funeral services were held
Wednesday at 2 p. m at the fam
lily residence on the lawn and were
attended by nearly,all the citizens
of Monte Vista and many from
the surrounding country. Rev.
VIM. Kerry conducted the services,
assisted by Rev. F. l., Blowers, of
the Baptist church, and Rev. NJ.
NJ. Nelson of the Christian church.
The front of the house was
banked with flowers and many
beautiful floral offerings rested
upon the casket In testimony of
the love of individuals and socie-
ties.
Never before hes Monte Vista
been called to mourn the death of
a citizen moro universally loved
and honored. All seemed to feel
that in the death OF Mr., Fassett
that each, individually, had lost

NORTH POLE IS MOVING.
Possible Explanation of Why Elk
plorers Can't Find 1t.

Victoria, B. c., March 23.-That the
North pole is shifting and the climate
is changing, making the northern
territories of this continent warmer
and northern Asia colder is the theory
to support which Nose B. Colworth
of York, England has been gathering
evidence in Alaska from where he
has returned on his way to England.
A curious effect of this change 1t is
said may be a number of boundary
difficulties between Canada and the
United States, especially in the eastern
portion. The boundary is fixed by lati-
tude, and if the North pole is really
moving, the latitude changes also,
rendering it advisable that the bound
airy be speedily marked everywhere
by permanent monuments, whe q it
has not yet been SO marked al-@=-ty.
This movement, ColWorth says is
caused by the immense accommodations
of ice along the Canadian shore Of
the Arctic ocean. and especially in
'Baffins land and Greenland.
The incalculable weight of the in
conceivable mass is by the force of
gravitation. slowly pushing the crust
of the earth, and consequently the
North pole and the Arctic circle gen.
orally over towards Siberia, where
there are no immense accumula-
tons of glacial ice to counterfeit the
movement.
The result is that North America
and Europe are getting warmer and
Siberia and Asia generamy colder.

OPENED OUR MAIL.
Venezuela Postoffice Officials Guilty
of Serious Offense.

Caracas, Venezuela, March Is, via
Willemstad, Curacao, March 28.-W.
w. Russell, the American minister
to Venezuela in a note dated March
81, advised DR.. Jose De Jesus Paul,
the Venezuelan foreign minister that
three pouches of official mail that
were brought into LaGuaira on March
Is, by the steamer Zulia for the
American cruiser Tacoma had been
opened in the La Guaira postoffice
The Tacoma arrived at La Guaira,
March IS, and is still there. Mr.. Rus
sell said it was a very serious thing
to break the seal of navy correspon-
dence and he asked for an investiga-
ton.
DIR. Paul answered Mr.. Russells
note yesterday, enclosing report
from the La Guaira postmaster. He
said the opening of the pouches in
question was accidental and was due
to the fact that the seals on them
were similar to others in use in the
La Guaira postoffice. In addition DR..
Paul said that only a prejudiced mind
could call this occurrence very Sc
rious,'' as the contents of the pouches
had not been disturbed.
