EXTREMES IN CLOTHING
Meet Economy and Luxury.
F
OR the satisfactory and economical outfitting of men we
offer certain inducements which never fail to be ap?
preciated by those who understand them.
One of the^e inducements is originality in style, fabric
and every other essential of a gentleman's attire?Not the
Originality that trespasses in the slightest upon good taste
or correct style, but that which rather illustrates and empha?
sizes both.
THERE was a time when the chief distinction to ready-to-wear clothing
was its economy. No man who was indifferent to cost would nave been induced
to stray from the influence of the custom tailor?'tis different now and we have
no hesitancy in addressing ourselves to men who want the best?irrespective of
price?for we have Suits in Better Style than nine out of ten custom tailors can
conceive the equal in workmanship?the peer in fit?the third to a half in price.
That the cost of this clothing is so much less than the best custom tailor's
is only an incident?created through the talent and energy of the 3000 skilled tail?
ors concentrated in the shops of
SCHLOSS BROS. & CO., of Baltimore and New York.
THE GREAT CLOTHES MAKERS.
These are craftsmen worthy of their craft
and if you are as particular about your clothes as
they are in the making them?you will always wear
such clothes as bear this LABEL, a sure sign
of the best made. No fashion plate #an surpass
the style embodied in our Spring Suit Models, and
no matter what build of men, the stout chubby
sort or the tall slender, we can fit them.

Washington, April 3.?The President
has carried out his plans for the reor?
ganization of the isthmian canal com?
mission as to personnel and business
methods generally on the line of legis?
lation he suggested to Congress at the
last session which failed in the crush
of business in the closing hours. To
IfHay, within half an hour after the
President's departure from Washing?
ton, Secretary Taft, directly in charge
?f canal matters, made public the per?
sonnel of the new commission and the
division of duties among them. Only
one member of the old commission was
reappointed, Benjamin M. Harrod,
Otherwise the commission is new from
top to bottom, for there is a top and
bottom, and considerable difference be?
tween the functions and pay of the
commission. Finding he was obliged
legally to appoint seven commission?
ers, he did so, but he carried out his
own plan by making three of them
practically the commission. The other
four men bearing title of commission?
ers not only receive a much smaller
compensation but are assigned much
smaller fields of activity. The Presi?
dent also has carried out his scheme of
dividing up the work of canal building
among the commissioners so that nom?
inally acting as a body on stated occa?
sions, each individual member would
operate in a special field. The head
t of the commission is a trained rail?
way man chosen for his administra?
tive abilities in the financial and pur*
chasing field; the new Governor of
the zone is a lawyer, who also has had
to do with state affairs; the engineer
commissioner is already known for his
abilities in the execution of the practi?
cal work of canal cutting. Tfca other
members of the commission are placed
to comply with the law as to the num?
ber of the commission, but are men of
bigh ability as hydraulic engineers.
Secretary Taft told them today that
they were expected to show results, and
that is said to be the keynote for the
president's action of today.
The personnel of the new isthmian
canal commission is as follows:
Theodore P. Shonts, chairman; Chas.
E. Magoon, governor of canal zone;
John F. Wallace, chief engineer; Rear
Admiral M. T. Endicott, U. S. N. ; Bri?
gadier General Peter C. Hains, U. S. A.,
retired; Colonel Oswald M. Ernst, corps
?f engineers, U. S. A.; Benjamin M.
Harrod.
Secretary Taft gave out for publica?
tion a statement showing the allot?
ments of salaries to the new commia
sioners and his own letter to the presi?
dent, and from the latter explaining the
plan of reorganization of the commis?
sion ; the reasons therefor and the par?
ticular duties to be assigned to each
commissioner. The first reads as fol?
lows:
1 'The president has made an order al?
lowing a salary of $7,500, with traveling
expenses to each member of the com?
mission, and to the chairman of the
commission the additional compensa?
tion of $22,500; to the chief engineer
the additional compensation of $17,500,
and to the governor of the zone the ad?
ditional compensation of $10,000. The
liead of each department is allowed the
use of a furnished house upon the
isthmus, and his traveling expenses
? "when traveling on the business of the
commission. The total is $102,500.
The salaries and allowances under the
former commission amounted to $120,
000. The total compensation of the
governor of the zone and the chief en?
gineer are in effect unchanged.
We carry a full line oi justice's blanks.

The Russian Second Paolflo Squadron
on Its Way to Vladivostok.
St. Petersburg, April 3.?A letter
from Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky to his
wife which has been received here, in?
dicates that the departure of the sec?
ond Pacific squadron from Madagascar
waters is final and that it is now on the
way to Vladivostok. In the letter the
admiral wrote that the sailing of the
squadron had been fixed for March 19,
but naturally he avoided mention of the
route which it was intended to follow on
the voyage eastward. The admiralty
yesterday admitted knowing of the in?
tention of the admiral and stated that
no contrary orders had been sent him,
It ?3 understood that a rendezvous with
Vice-Admiral Nebogatoff's division of
the Baltic squadron is not contemplated.
St. Petersburg, April 3.?General
Linevitch in a despatch dated April 2,
says:
"The situation remains unchanged.
' 'A Russian patrol during the night
of March 27 surrounded a Japanese pa?
trol consisting of six dragoons in the
village of Baichanchtense on the ex?
treme Russian left. Five of the Ja?
panese were killed. A sergeant was
captured. ' '

COMMITS SUICIDE.
Information has just reached us of a
sad affaif that occurred this morning in
Baptist Valley. Mr, Peery Farmer,
who had recently returned from the
Southwestern Hospital at Marion, com?
mitted suicide at his father's house, by

Officials Driven From M nila by the Heat
Manila, April 3.?Gov. Wright and
Vice Gov. Ide, with their families, are
the first of the officials to leave the
city to escape the intense heat. They
have gone to Baguet, where the seat of
government will be located until cooler
weather has set in again. The mem?
bers of the Philippine Commission and
the clerks of the various departments
will follow this week.
Every one who is able to do so is leav?
ing the city. Dozens of persons have
started for Japan. The cost of living
at Baguet is high, awJ consequently the
place is not popular except among the
officials.

as Railroad
President.
Washington, April 1.?President
Roosevelt has completed the reorgani?
zation of the Isthmian Canal Commis?
sion, and the names of the members
will be made public Monday morning.
So far as the facts arc concerned, they
could be made public now, but Secretary
Taft will not return to Washington un?
til Sunday afternoon, and it is ?cdred
that he shall be consulted before the
announcement is made.
TO HEAD COMMISSION.
Theodore P. Shonts, president of the
Toledo, St. Louis and Western Railroad,
is to head the commission. He today
notified the President that he would ac?
cept the offer made to him.
Mr. Shonts came to Washington last
night and conferred with William Nel?
son Cromwell, Secretary Morton and
Colonel Edwards, the head of the In?
sular Affairs Bureau of the War Depart?
ment. He went to the White House
today with Colonel Edwards and had a
long conference with the President, who
told him some of the difficulties under
which the old commission had worked.
Mr. Shonts had little to say on leaving
the White House, except to admit that
he would accept the tender made to
him.
It is understood that the President
will fix his salary at a large figure, to
compensate him, as far as possible, for
the financial sacrifice he probably is
making in leaving his position.
Horace G. Burt, former president of
the Union Pacific road, who was talked
of as the head of the new commission,
will not have a place on the body.
WILL OUTLINE DUTIES.
Mr. Shonts is to have another confer?
ence with the President, at which the
situation .in the canal region will be
talked over in detail. The President
desires a full talk with the new execu?
tive head of the commission. At this
conference it will be determined where
the line will be drawn between the
executive head and the chief engineer.
The President will outline the duties
that are to be performed by each, and
will try to arrange matters so that there
will be no conflict.
Mr. Shonts was bom in Crawford
county, Pennsylvania, and has been in
the railroad business since 1881. He
has been successively general superin
dent, general manager and president of
the Toledo, St. Louis and Western Rail?
road. He is a graduate of Monmouth
College ( Illinois ) and a hrother-in-law
of John Drake, partner of John W.
Gates.

PROBABLY THIRTY DEAD.
Fifty Miners Entombed by Explosion in
Leiter Mine at Zelgler.
Benton, 111., April 3.?Some fifty mi?
ners were entombed today in Joseph
Leiter's mine at Zeigler, by a terriffic
explosion of gas. Thus far fifteen
bodies have been found and more than
thirty are said to be dead. The explos?
ion, rtf is said, was due to the fact that
the Leiter mines are not worked on Sun?
day, thus allowing gas to accumulate in
the lower workings.
When between 35 and 40 miners had
descended into the mine today to resume
work, a terrific explosion blew the
mouth of the mine high into the air. One
of the steel cages was blown to the sur?
face from the bottom of a five hundred
foot shaft.
The shock of the explosion was felt at
Benton, twelve miles northeast of Zeig?
ler, A teamster, driving along a road
half a mile from the mine, was covered
with falling cinders and debris covered
the floor of his wagon half an inch deep.
One miner was killed and four were sev?
erely injured at the mouth of the shaft
in which the explosion occurred.
TNfe work of rescue was begun at once
by miners who were arriving when the
explosion took place. But the main
shaft was demolished, so that rescue
work has to be carried on through the
air shaft. This has hindered the work
of aiding the entombed men to such an
extent that when darkness fell tonight,
only three bodies and one injured man
had been brought to the surface. These
bodies were found forty feet from the
bottom of the air shaft, and this for
many hours was as far as the rescuers
were able to penetrate the shaft.
A committee of union miners from
Duquoin and other neighboring mining
towns, headed by District President
Morris, hastened to Zeigler soon after
the explosion occurred and offered their
aid.
The bodies of the dead are so black?
ened that they cannot at once be iden?
tified. Rolla Campbell is the injured
miner brought out of the shaft, and it
is said that he cannot live.
Campbell is conscious, but he is un?
able to give any explanation of the acci?
dent.
C. E. Childress. a striking Zeigler
miner, last October predicted in a print?
ed article that an explosion was likely
to occur on account of what he termed
improper ventilation of the shafts.
There was much excitement among
miners when the accident became known
because there had been a strike of long
duration, and many conflicts had occur?
red between strikers and non-union
miners.
An all day investigation tends to show
that the catastrophe was due to the ac?
cidental explosion of accumulated gas.

"He has not originated any measure
of importance and has not supported
any except by his vote.

IMPORTANT WORK
OF SUPERVISORS
Architect Employed to Make Plans and
Superintend Construction of Jail
TO BE A MODERN BUILDING
The Briltain 1'roperly Purchased by County
and Will be Annexed to Court House
Square.
The Board of Supervisors of Tazewell
county met on last Friday and Saturday,
but did most of its work on Saturday.
Among the important matters transact?
ed were the following:
Wm. E. Shufflebarger, an architect,
was employed to make plans for the
new jail and superintend its construc?
tion. The plans will be furnished next
Saturday, the 8th inst, and the jail
will be built by a force account, except
the stone work which will be let to con?
tract. The building will he erected on
the Southwest corner of the public
square, in the rear of the court house.
It will be modern in all its appointments
and large enough to answer all demands
in the coming years. Arrangements
will be made to heat the new jail with
steam, using the same furnace for both
it and the court house.
Another very important matter trans?
acted by the Board was the purchase for
the county of the Major Brittain prop?
erty, just west of the court house square,
The purchase- price was $5,000 cash.
This is a very valuable addition to the
county property and greatly increases its
frontage on Main Street. The rear
part of the Brittain lot will be thrown
open and added to the hitching lot now
in rear of the court house lot, and the
alley running from Main street between
the two properties will be closed and a
broad alley opened up between the Brit?
tain property and the Moore property
which adjoins it on the west side. The
purchase of the Brittain property cer?
tainly was a judicious act on the part of
the Board and will greatly enhance the
value of the court house property.
The improvement will also be great
to the town, which the people of the
county ought not to regret. There is a
disposition on the part of some persons
to think that the people in town have
no substantial interest in the county
property and contribute nothing toward
its purchase or support. This is a great
mistake. A large sum in taxes is col?
lected every year in the town which
goes to the county for the purpose of
keeping up and repairing* the public
buildings. The citizens of the town
contribute as liberally to these things as
any others in the county.
In addition to the above important
work the Board audited a number of
claims against the county. No disposi?
tion was made of the old jail or the
vacant lot just north of that building -
ing. Several bids were made for the
vacant lot.
The Board also opened the bids for
medical attention to small pox cases;
and it was found that Dr. Williams, of
Richlands, was the lowest bidder for
Maiden Spring District, Dr. Crockett,
of Tazewell,the lowest bidder for Jeffer
sonvijle District and Dr. Pyott, qf Tip?
top, the lowest bidder for Clear Fork
District.
Tazewell county now has a Board of
Supervisors composed of excellent men,
who seem anxious to guard carefully
the interests of the county. The Board
adjourned to meet again on the 29th
inst.

Death of a Venerable Lady.
On Tuesday night at one o'clock Mrs.
Polly Moore died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Joseph S. Moss, in Taze
well aged eighty-two years. Her death
had been expected for more than a week
and was no surprise to her family and
friends. She was the widow of the late
William Moore, of the historic Moore
family of Abbs Valley that was massa?
cred by the Indians, with the exception
of James Moore. He was the father of
William Moore and for a long time he
was held a captive by the Indians.
About sixty years ago the deceased
was married to William Moore, her
maiden name being Barns. For more
than thirty years she had been almost a
helpless cripple from uheumatism; and
for twenty-one years she had been con?
fined to her bed, Through all these
years of affliction and physical suffering
her mind remained clear and strong and
her Christian character firm and beau?
tiful.
Mrs. Moore is survived by three sons,
Messrs. J. C, W. L. and O. B. Moore;
and four daughters, Mrs. S. J. Mus?
tard, Mrs. R. T. Higginbotham, Mrs,
Joseph S. Moss and Mrs. W, A,
Davidson. She is also survived by
two brothers, Messrs. Clinton and
John Barns; and three sisters, Mrs.
Nancy Harrisson, Mrs. D. B. Baldwin,
and Mrs. A. J. Copenhaver.
For more than sixty years Mrs. Moore
had been a member of the Methodist
Church, and she died as she had lived
strong in her Christian faith.
The remains were taken yesterday
afternoon \o the old home of the deceas?

Rev. Y. Honda, principal of the Aoya- ]

in a recent letter says: "How long'
this distressing condition of things will
last we cannot say. The people are
doing their best and every charitable
agency is taxed to the utmost, but so
numerous have the impoverished fami?
lies become that our means of immed-,
iate relief are utterly inadequate. Could. |
some general fund be raised for this!

of these families, it would indeed be a '
