Nelson took a municipal vote
on an electric supply bylaw yesterday.
The bylaw required a three
fifthB majority to carry it and was
defeated by a vote of 207 for and
150 against.
John Houston, M. P. P., and his
newspaper, the Nelson Tribune,
have added another victory to an
already long list.
Commenting on the vote the
Tribune says this morning:
"The above goes to show that
j'there are two elements in Nelson.
One is in favor of civic ownership
of public utilities, and can always
be trusted when that question is
an issue. The other is opposed to
civic ownership of anything that
can bo operated by private capital,
and they can never be trusted.
' "The Tribune haB helped the
common every day people in Nelson to win one more victory over
the self-constituted 'best class.'
"The Miner started out all right
in tbe campaign that ended at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon, but
it changed1 front on the last day—
and lost ils good character."
Mr. Houston and the Tribune
seem to have a good deal to say in
whatever happens iu Nelson.
Shocking Death of George Carney, a Miner.
THE MAN WAS BLOWN TO ATOMS
Finding the Mutilated Body-Explosion of the Powder
Magazine the Cause-The Police Magistrate's
Son the Victim.
Kalso, November 20.—A very
bad accident occurred at Fry Creek
yesterday morning by which Geo.
Carney was blown to atoms. He
was working with a gang of men
who are doing trail work about one
mile up the creek under J.D.Moore,
and about 9 o'clock went to the
magazine to procure some powder.
A few minutes later a loud explosion was heard and his fellow
workmen saw what they thought
were rocks flying through the air,
but on going to inv st iga te the cause
of the explosion they found that in
gome way the powder had become
exploded while Carney was handling
it. There were about twenty sticks
of powder in the magazine at the
time. All that could be found of
the missing man were a tew frag
ments of his clothes and a note
book, which was picked up in the
branches of a nearby tree.
Part of his clothing was seen in
an eddy in the creek and secured
after some trouble. George Carney
was the son of police magistrate
Carney of Kalso and has lived here
a number of years, being well and
favorably known.
A later dispatch says that the
body of George Carney has just
been brought to Kaslo. It was recovered from the creek about a
hundred yards below tbe icene of
the accident. The head was missing and the right arm blown off
and otherwise badly mangled. No
explanation of the accident has yet
been found. The funeral takes
place here today.

Greenwood, November 20.—Miss
Anna Moffatt, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. R. H. Hutchens of the Mother
Lode mine, was married yesterday
morning to George W. Trehune.
The ceremony wa» performed by
Rev. Dr. McRae of the Presbyterian
church in the presence of some
friends. Bride and bridegroom left
on the afternoon train for'Nelson.
It was reported here yesterday
that a new budy of *gold quarts ore
was struck in the Jewel mine of
the Long Lake Company, believed
to be on the lead thai the prospecting shaft haB been sinking on for
some time paBt. Owing to the
rapid raise in the hill the lead
where now encountered will give
about five hundred feet backs.
This greatly enhances the value of
the Jewel mine, which already haB
a large quantity of ore, averaging
in value about $12, blocked out in
the old working.
The proprietors of the Kootenay
hotel, have decided to give a most
elaborate dinner on Thanksgiving
day and have already placed an
order for over 200 lbs. of fancy
dressed turkey for that date.
Dinner will be served from noon
until 8 p. in.
The complete menu will be published shortly.
The price will not be increased,
but will be the ordinary charge, 50
cents.
Dine at the Kootenay on tomorrow week.

Meeting of the Committee
Last Evening.
REGISTRATION OF LABOR VOTERS
No Nominations for the Present-
Finances Arranged for-A Thorough  Organization.
At the meeting of the committee
of fifteen, of the municipal labor
party last evening, fourteen mem-
berg were present.
P. R. McDonald presided, and
measures were taken to press on
the organization work in all departments.
It was decided that the registration committee should appoint
two inspectors in each ward to
begin at once a thorough canvas
of all voters in order that the committee may secure the name! of
voters not yet registered and a list
of all registration already made.
Steps were also taken to .secure
finances to carry .on a vigorous
campaign.
It was decided not to proceed
with the nomination of candidates
at once, but to devote every effort
to secure full registration of all
workingmen voters in order that
the party may elect all ita candidates by safe majorities.

Northport, November 20. —
Deputy Sheriff Anderson received
the following undated and unsigned letter by mail yesterday : "Anderson, we are going to get you.
This to answer as a warning to
you." The letter was written in
pencil on a scrap of dirty paper and
had been mailed in the local office.
Mr. Anderson said thiB evening:
" I have no idea who wrote the let-
tar and I shall pay no attention to
it." Anderson has made a number
of arrests among the Joplin men
and as he is not known to have any

the threatening letter must have

Vancover, November 20.—Over
a million dollar's worth of Klondike
mining claims is the subject of a
big legal trial now proceeding in
the full court here. The case is
that of Davidson vs. Jones. The
plaintiff appeals from a decision in
the supreme court at Dawson.
The original action was brought
by Davidson to set aside a bill of
sale of some very valuable placer
claims situated on Gold Run, alleged to be given to him by Rout-
ludge Davis, the collector of customs
at Dawson. Davidson claims that
the document iB a forgery. The
signature he admits is his, but he
stales that he had signed a blank
deed and left it with certain parties
for another purpose. Instead of
this the conveyance of his claims
on Gold Run waB filled in the document and registered as a transfer to
Routledge Davis.

THE CAMPAIGN.
If the Rossland Miner is not "entirely crazy" on Municipal affairs
it is uncertainly close to it. That
precious journal iB thoroughly scared at the way matters are shaping
in Rossland, and in its violent effort to sustain an untenable position it, as usual, overdoes the matter, and covers its followers with
confusion and shame.
When the organized labor party
in San Francisco took up Municipal
matters a few weeks ago the daily
press of thatcityadopted very much
the same tactics as the Miner is
employing. The labor candidate
for that city was alternately ridiculed and ignored, his speeches
and meetings were carefully kept
out of tbe papers and the usual
campaign literature of lies and personal abuse was indulged in without stint.
San Francisco had just been
through a bitter industrial struggle
and the community had experienced the joy of scab fellowship. The
possibility of Schmitz's election
was scouted and his supporters were
bitterly attacked day after day.
The result of the election was a
triumph for organized labor. Schmitz, the-straight Union candidate
polled 21,800 votes, Wells the Republican nominee 17,697, and Tobin
on the Democratic ticket only 12,684
That is to say the labor candidate
defeated one of his rivals by over
4,000 votes and the other by over
9,000.
With this recent result staring
the Miner in the face, some different policy might have been expected than that which the morning
paper has adopted. It would have
been wiser, would it not, at the outset to have waited until a candidate and a platform was announced, and then to have attacked labor's nominee and his policy. In
place of this we have columns of
personal abuse and vilification and
a concentrated attack on all wage
earners.as such.
Since May last the Miner has
frequently had to apologize for its
foolish utterances, and in subsequent issues to eat very humble pie
indeed for its previous statements.
If Mr. Macdonald's newspaper will
kindly continue its present policy
on all labor matters it will greatly
lighten the work of the World and
render doubly sure the election of
whatever candidates the Union may
put up for Municipal honors next
January.
BANKERS UNION.
The chartered banks of Canada
have formed a union for protective
purposes, and tbe meeting of the
"grand lodge" was held in Montreal last week.
Commenting on the meeting and
on the bank situation generally,
The Toronto Globe says editor-
ally:
"As it is, some banks are refusing first-class mercantile and manufacturing accounts simply because they have not notes to handle them. They are also refusing
to make call loans on absolutely
safe collateral at good rates of interest because they have not the
notes. They tell applicants that
the security is sound, but they
have not the money to lend, and
do not want any new business.
They are obliged to confine their
accommodation to established customers. That this obstructs the
expansion of trade and industry
requires no argument. A scarcity
of currency must restrict  building
operations. The fact is that, although the banks made extensive
preparations for an increase of
trade, the expansidn has greatly
exceeded their expectations."
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Yes; Mackenzie King, Bela Kadish and Barney Macdonald have
all departed.
Land ownership is the only qualification of many an aspirant for
municipal honors.
Householders are in the majority
in Rossland as in all cities, but
they should permit the minority to
manage all municipal affairs.
Bernard McDonald has wantonly
sacrificed hiB stockholders time and
money and has met in the end contumely, discredit and ignominious
defeat.—Sandon PaysUeak.
Only the land barons should
meddle with municipal affairs.
The balance of the electors should
keep their proper place and not interfere with the ruling class.
An American gentleman has been
pointing out that guerrilla warfare
is not Christian. No kind of warfare is desired by Christians, but
some kinds are regarded aB inevitable. Every nation going to war
regards its own cause as just, confidently appeals to the God of battles
and finds in the scriptures texts
which it regards as justifying its
action. It cannot be said that the
use of the bible for such purposes
is a very profitable occupation. A
man who is trying to discover his
own rights and the duties of his
neighbors, hiB own virtues and the
shortcomings of his neighbors, may
find comfort and support anywhere
bi't the Bible ought not to be used,
or rather abused, in that way.—

How Wilshire  Will   Get
Back at Uncle Sam.
A GOOD  SOCIALISTIC STORY
Millionaire Socialist Will Print His
Magazine in Canada—Refused
Rates in the States,
IM
 FOR	
HOLIDAY PRESENTS.
Postoffice News Stand
I), McMillan,
Proprietor.
H, Gaylord Wilshire, set down
as a millionaire Socialist, and
widely known across the line as
a promoter of socialism, explained
to a good sized audience in Toronlo
last week how he had been made
a martyr to the postal regulations
of the United States.
Ten years ago at Los Angeles,
Cal., he assayed the cause of
socialism, and began by addressing
meetings in the streets and public
parks. But the authorities stopped him. Then he rented a theatre for Sunday nights, the only
nights available, but that was
stopped on the ground that his
meetings were of a political nature, and not in keeping with Sunday . observance. As the last
means of reaching the people
he established a paper known as
the Challenge, which he published
in New York. But the postal refi-
ulations were finally interpreted
in the case so as to practically
prevent the publication of the
Challenge.
According to those regulations a
publication whose primary design
is to advertise has to pay a rate of
eight cents a pound postage. That
is, for instance, a pamphlet bearing upon the face of it the unmistakable evidence that it is published solely to advertise some brand
of soap or other commodity, is
charged the high rate of postage.
The postmaster-general of the
United States held that Mr. Wilshire, through his publication,
was advertising his ideas, and
therefore should be charged advertising rates. Mr. Wilshirt
petitioned the president, but was
referred back to the postmaster-
general. He had had the impression that the laws of the country
provided for a free press, but he
found that he had not even the
right to petition.
After being prohibited from
sending the Challenge through tbe
mails as second-class matter, Mr.
Wilshire published as a monthly
a magazine called Wilshire's Magazine, but it met the same fate as
ils predecessor.
Mr. Wilshire then looked to
Canada, and finally interviewed
the Canadian postmaster-general]
with the result, as he announced
last week, that he may publish his
magazine here at a postage of one-
half cent a pound. He smiled as
he told how he could get back at
Unole Sam. He would publish
his magazine here, send it out at a
rate of one-half cent a pound
and, according to international
postal arrangements, have it distributed all over the United States
without one penny going into the
United States treasury. He read
some passages from his magazine,
and gave the name of some of the
contributors to it, showing that in
reality it was not an advertising
medium for his own ideas, but a
publication of the views of different writers upon socialism and

mines comprising the Meteor, Stray Dog, White
Swan and Given groups, all of which are working
in high-grade shipping ore. A great number of
very promising properties are opening up in the
vicinity. It is surrounded by a splendid agricultural, fruit growing and stock raising country,
unequalled in the northwest, and has a splendid

as $140,000 to the ton, the average of the camp
