BIT DYNAMITE CAP
BLOWN TO PIECES
ORIGINAL AND CHASTITY WAY TO
KILL HIMSELF.
Especial to The Gazette J

MISSOULA, Mont, Feb. 15-Henry
Klockard, an aged prospector who has
been living in the mountains near
Taft, Mont, chose an original and
ghastly method of ending his life to-
day.
Placing a primed stick of dynamite
into his mouth, he bit the cap and the
explosion that followed literally blew
his body to pieces. He left note ad-
dressed to a friend in Wallace, Idaho,
but no word in explanation of the
deed.

that the goods of this world were meant
to be enjoyed, aud he did enjoy them him
self, as far as it went. But of course he also
meant, that all things might be used but
not abused. Now, it was easy for him
and he felt perfectly sure that the same held
good tor every individual Member Of this
CounCil-Only to use, not to abuse Alcohol
but he was not so sure that the maxim holds
good in general, especially as concerns that
part Of the population whose enjOyInents are
few, and who by the nature Of things would
be declared from the higher enjoymonts
these people would be easily led to abuse
alcohol.
He should, however, not enter further in
to the matter from this point of view,
for, as already said, his aim was not
to moralize, but to try to answer the ques-
ton put i not the gain likely to be greater
than the loss from a pocuniary standpoint
solely.
Now, it is admitted all over the world,
that the abuse Of Alcohol entails 3 things

First, with regard to crimes: Surely
crimes were very rife in this Community.

Governments letter Of 9th March, pub.
Ished IN Report Of Proceedlngs)
The Chairman would, before OPENING the
discussion on the matte, make use Of lis
right to say Il few words first. It will be
remembered that in the last meeting when
laying Governments letter before the Coun-
Gil, he thanked the Government for its at
tentlon and foresight. These were not idle
words; he meant that the Council ought to
Oe grateful to Government for having pro-
cured this valuable information and Stats
tcs and for thus giving the Council a
chance to act accordingly.
1t Wall be remembered that the Govern
ment wound mp by asking Al question which
IN Danish runs thus:
"Men Diet Sporgsmaal Ioder sig like afviso.

supposed that u further increase Of excise

crease of Consumption of Rum that it will
be felt heavily by the Colonial Treasury.
however desirable the increase of sobriety
must be acknowledged to be 2"
This was q question then put to the Coun-
cli, and one for the Council to answer.
He for his part would now try to answer
it, but of course his answer involved no
responsibility for the Council, bat was his
mud his alone.
He would then say, that it was very likely
that the increase of excise would entail first
the eventuality, that rum-merchauts would
take out Of bond a good deol of rum before
April this year and less next year, and that
consequently there would likely be a de-
crease from excise income next financial
year, but he would also remark, that mer-
chants would certainly not take out more
than they could afford aud found convenient
and also that such a thing could only be
done once.
But he would beg to ask a question. Is
it perfectly certain in spite of this, that the
gain would not be greater than the loss ?
Now, he would beg to be clearly understood
He did not mean the gain from a moral or
sentimental point, but n gain IN money, Il
financial gain; that is what he mea in ask
ing the question. He was neither a rigorist
nor an extremist, and he himself thought

No small outlay in money and in days,
these latter being entirely lost to the Com.
munity.
Now, he would beg to remark thai where
as: tho first 3 years 19O4-5-G had an
average of 81 patients with 2O63 days and
an expense Of $516-that is to say he years
before the excise came into force: the 9
years after this, 1907-8 had only 90 pa
TENTS, with 1861 days and an expense of
e337.
He was Of course willing to acknowledge
that the figures were too small to warrant
absolute conclusions, but az far as they went
they were in favour of Excise. But it must
not be forgotten, that the above figures did
by far not represent the whole outlay neither
IN money nor IN working days, for it must
not be forgotten that the perpetrator repre-
sents also a heavy expense In money and
working days, and as a rule o much heavier
loss to the Community, for Arst the perpetra-
tor has to remain in prison III the days re-
CURED to heal his victim and entirely at
public expense, and as a rule n long time
thereafter during punishment-all ut public
expense.
Finally he would beg honourable Members
TO remember that his statistics did only
refer to one half of the Island; there has been
no time to procure information from Fred
enlisted. Ihjs 50 far as crimes are concerned.
As to sickness, he would, without going
into detail, venture to say, that almost SO 90
Of eases sent to hospitals were cases due
directly or indirectly to alcohol, in the form
of doIirium, insanity, heart diseases, kidney
diseases, Oedemata etc. etc.
That Alcohol promoted poverty, improy-
ldence and vagrancy in the class here re-
ferred to, goes without saying.
Now, whereas the eventual loss from a
higher excise would be easily demonstrate
he must admit that the gain rs here set
forth could not be demonstrated in the
same faclIe manner. for all that, he person
ally had no doubt but that the gain would
outweigh the loss, and he would therefore
vote for maintaining the Excise of 2 francs
as already tired for next year, anda should
recommend honorable Members to do the
same.

CONSOLIDATING HIS STORES.

The branch store of the Glenwood
Mercantile company, at this place has
gone out of business. 1t was not a case
of failure, simply consolidation of
stock. f. J. Cummings, who has been
engaged in the store business in this
upper country since the landing of the
Pilgrim Fathers, there or thereabouts,
of late years has been conducting a
large merchandising establishment at
Riverside. A couple of years ago he
concluded to reach out into other fields,
and selected Oroville as promising
point to put in a branch. He built a
large building, stocked it with COM
plete line of merchandise, and his en-
joyed fair share of business. But this
thing of single individual having two
separate stores, quite distance apart,
