The inevitable bee been announced. Prom authentic source, the new. cornea to Tbe Herald that a commlailon has been appointed to investigate the count- leu rumor, tbat bave cast the reputation of several official, in this district under a shadow, and placed a blot on the fair name of South East Kootenay. In ever; otber district in the province Ibe commissioners and license inspectors bave been appointed; but this district still re- mains without an) one appointed to these positions. Tbis is not due to neglect on the part of tbe officials at tbe coast, but with a desire to have the rumors sifted down and the truth secured. This is what The Herald has maintained from the start. If one or more of tbe members of the license board bave been guilty of taklog money from applicants, let this fact be blazoned forth. If only two have been guilty and one innocent, let the innocent one be freed from tbe burden of suspicion. And if none are guilty, if none have been in fluenced by money or other considerations in tbeir decisions, Ibis fact should be proven beyond all question of a doubt, and tbese men placed in a position in this district where no discreditable rumors cau reach tbem. It is not pleesant for any man holding a public. position to know tbat be is viewed with suspicion and that his official honor has been attacked. No innocent man need fear an investigation and a free and open inquiry should be hailed witb joy and thanksgiving. It is understood that the investigation will be no whitewash affair, but on tbe contrary it will be thorough aud far teaching, including all offi rials connected with the granting of licenses. Subpoenas wiil be issued tor all whom the '.'ouiuiissioners have reason, to think are iu a position to know anything of any wrong doing, directly or indirectly, and evidence is being secured at a rapid rate. Tbe commission Mill have In deal with the questions of money paid other than tbe law provides, and influences exerted. If it 'inn he shown that such has beeu the cas,', ihere wili be a lot of i.<-w oflje ials iu South Bust Kootenay. It it can* not be pruv-.ii even to a rensonable ex tent, then Ibe men who have beeu subjected to all kinds of indlguiiies as the victims of tbese rumors will be doner ated. The Herald wauts to see fair play, aud uo blame attached to any innocent man, It alao wants to see fair play with Ihe people, and if tbere is a member of Ihe board or any one connected with it, wbo haa taken one cent directly or indirectly from any applicant for a license, The Herald hopes that his name uuy be held up to the scorn of the people of Ihe entire district and tbe produce. There are honest men in South Bast Kootenay and if there is a dishonest man holding office, if there is one who holds an official club over the beads of tbe people for tbe purpose of compelling mem to disgorge, tben let him be scourged ficm utbee, and an honest man put in bis place. That ia wbat Tbe Herald wants, and tbat is wbat tbe people want. Saturda-f,' last aa w tha Brat friendly contest between Marysville and Klmberley foot ball teams. It was a closely contested game from atari to finish, the play beiup bard and fast throughout. Everything went smoothly until near the end of tho aecond half when Mr. Elwell of tlii Kltnberley team aide stepped on a stone, twisted hla ankle and broke a ligament. Tbe. score at tbe ond of full timo waa oaa to nothing In favor of Maryaville. A'. Bales scored the lucky and only goal. Wm. Olark refereed tbe game tn a most satisfactory manner. Tha return game was played at Klmberley on Tuesday evening, which wit* nessed a hard fought contest In which neither side wonld claim much en-sari* orlty over the other. When there waa no goal scored during rail time It waa decided by the captains of both teams to play ten minutes each way. Daring the first ten minute, the Marysville team scored and during tbe laat ten minutes Kimberley scored evening It np. Wben tbe eatra time waa played It stood 1 to 1. Tbe Marysville teem forced tbe play all the way through tha first half. In the second half Klmberley palled themselves together and were on tne aggressive, Dick Joyce waa hurt ln the first half. He got Into a pretty rough mix up and came out with a bleeding nose, a black eye and a slight fracture of tbe small bone beneath the eye. He had to retire from the field. In the aecond half Fred Halnea got into a mix up and received a bat on the head that put him oat of business for a few minutes. Water waa applied and Fred way soon game for anything. Tbe goal for the Miryevllle team was scored daring tbe first ten minutes by a prettv comoluatlon between Kelaey, Hill and Haines. During ihe last ten minutes Klmberly scored and Walter Ilartln was the lucky man. Joe. L'ndsay acted aa referee. After tbe name the team was Invited by tbe Klmberley foot ball club to dinner which was awaiting them at the North Star botel. When the boys had done full justice to tbe sumptuous repast tbey were asked to remain and a'j y a quiet dance arranged by the kindness of Mr. Drew. The music was supplied by Messrs. H'gh«*arden and Elwell and de.plte th • tidy1 feelings was well timed by the boys and their lady friends. At 13 o'clock Mrs. Soper provided a charming and tasty lunch which was et joyed by all. A large crowd drove up from Marysville and also from the North Star mine. The dance bn ke up abou*. 3 o'clock, all well pleased with lie evening's enjoy* ment and everyone hopes It will not be the last. It Will Advertise District and Province.

When this question had been put on tbe shelf pro tern the very urgent question of a school was taken up. The difficulty here was the manner of organisation. After a good deal of discussion from men with families and others, the meeting decided to take some action In the matter and finally Mr McNeill was authorized by the people present to correspond with the authorities to state the present need uf a school In Marysville, The meeting then adjourned, Copper la March.

Moyie Leader In Its Filth Year. Our older slater the Moyie Leader has entered her fifth year and we take this opportunity of wishing her many bappy returna as also her genial and bright tidy pa-pa; Editor Smyth. Smyth deserves credit for tbe way ln which he and his paper have stayed wltb the country ln good weather and ln bad, and those of our readers who know the ever smiling "Fred" will, we know, agree wltb us Mr. Smytb tells us, In a very short and modest paragraph, announcing the entrance ef the Leader on Its Sth year tbat tha business people have give him "liberal and stedfaat There appears to be some dissent support during good times aod dull among the Liberals of Fernie from the | times," We are glad to bear It because acceptance of E.

Thare la no donbt In tha world that British Columbia, aa a province, has been handicapped so far as growth and development ara concerned. There are many reaaona for this. Situated, aa our Province ia, on the very western fringe of tbe Dominion, aeparated from the more populous parts of tha country by great atretchee of r*lalne and seas of mountains It baa been left out in the cold, lo to speak, and Ita wonderful resources have been as an nncnt book to tha people In tbe east. To tha people of Europe, except ln a very exclusive mining circle ln London, It has been a .veritable "terra incognita," Time and time again the British Colombian meeting a friend ia England, wben on a visit there, has been addressed thus: "Oh yes British Colombia, South America somewhere." People don't know and don't care where British Columbia Is and get it mixed ln their minda with British Honduras, British Becknanaland and the hundred and cae British eomethlnge tbat are scattered all over the world. As we have mentioned ever since the Marysville Tribune haa been published, which by the way Is alx months count- log this Issue, the people of British Columbia should do all tbey can to let the outside world know what we have In our country. The government do, It Is true, get out some pamphlets and so do the railway companlea which are more or less distributed throughout the east and Europe; but more than this is wanted. There are vary few persons residing ln the province who have not at least one friend or acquaintance In tba east or lu the old country who would be interested in knowing something about British Columbia and even If they are not materially Interested themselves they in tarn will know some one that Is, and will tell them what they have heard and by thia means the story of tbe resources of this great western province will be scattered abroad very much ou the endless chain principal. A word from one satisfied settler ln the province Is worth more than a hundred government pamphlets. We will know thlt; wc, everyone of us take the word of a friend and value It much in .re than anything we see In print. We say, therefore, keep telling tho outside world that which you know to be true aboat British Columola. THIS YEAR'S ESTIMATES. South East Kootenay Will Receive Only $14,500. From the Herald— The estimates for tbe coming year have been handed down. The revenue is expected lo amount to $2,13-1,568 65, some of the chief sources of wbicb are: Property and income tax, including arrears, $535,000; Dominion government, $.105 968.05; land sales and rentals, $117,* 000; Chinese re.triction, $40,000; limber licenses aud royalties, $80,000; timber leases, $110,000, and from tbe fisheries, $35.ooo. A summary will abow how largely the province is dependent upon the mlniug industry for ita revenue. Some of tbe details are: Free miners' certificates, $175,000; mining receipts general, $80,- 000; mineral tax, $130,000; royalty on * coal, $130,000; making a total of $515 000, whereas tbe mining districts bear their ahare of all the other sources of revenue including the $150,000 that ia expected from tbe poll tax. Tbe expenditures are expected lo total $1486,11731, distributed as follows: Public debt, $493,140; civil government, $263 ado; administration of justice, $111,- 112; legislation, $44,195; public irstitu- lions (msintenance), $198,390; cbaritiea and bospitals, $74,800; administration of justice (otber thau salaries), $110,900; education, $411,140; transport, $21,200; revenue service, $17,000; miscellaneous, $137,370; aud public works, $662,210, msde up of, works and buildiugs, $200,150; government house, $4,700; roads, streets, bridges and wharves, $395,350; surveys, $12,000; and contingencies, $50,000. Cranbrook gets another teacher, making four in all. Tbe district of South East Kootenay gets $14,500 for this year, tbe same aa North East Kootenay, which will not permit of of much in the way ol roads, trails and bridges. Interesting Facts oa East Kootenay. R. L. T. Galbraith of Port Steele, recently made hia annual trip to the ln. diam of West Kootenay. While in Nelson be waa interviewed by the Miner on the conditions in South East Kootenay, and gave the following businesslike account of the situation: "In Hast Koolenay at present business is dull except nesr tbe coal mining centers and along tbe line of the Crows Nest Southern. Portal la one of tbe latest towns to come Into existence in Bast Kootenay. It is situated close to the 'international boundary, where the Kootenay river flows into the state of Montana. It was formerly known as Linklighter's Hudson's Bay post, and is in tbe midst of a rich farming and stock raising country. A considerable number of settlers have come Into the country there during tbe last year, and tbe prospects ft r tbe ensuing year are good. A customs house ia stationed there. Nortb of Portal, the next town on the new railroad ia Elk Mouth, where the line crosses the Elk river. The track ia now laid to that point and aa soon as the bridge is finished, which is expected to be about May 1, tracklaying on the other side of the river will be proceeded witb. The next station is at Crows Nest landing, on the Kootenay river, a few miles from Blko, which is ■ point of call for for the ateamer. The grading on the road from Elk Mouth to Elko is nearly completed and work is being pushed vigorously, operations being carried on both day and night by tbe army of men employed by tbe contractors. At Elko times are very good at present, the business men doing a good trade. At Morrissey considerable building ia in progress, but tbe townsite is not yet on Ibe market. Fernie ia alao busy, and Michel is a lively town, a large amount of coal being taken out. "At Maryaville work is progressing steadily on tbe smelter, and the prospects of both Kimberley and tbe first mentioned (own are bright. At tbe latter about 50 men are employed on development work at the Nortb Star mine, and the reports are most encouraging. On the Sullivan, it ia tbe intention of tbe management to put a large force to work aa soon as the smelter is completed to supply it witb ore. Port Steele is quiet, but the mines, especially on Tracy creek, are showing up well. On Wild Horse creek there will be considerable placer mining done tbis summer, tbe results of the last aeason's operations having beeu tbe best obtained for some yeara in that district. Ou Perry cteek a great deal of work haa been done during tbe winter, particularly on the deeper propertiea. A party of Wisconsin capitalists have purchased a number of placer leases and nre putting in a hydraulic plant ou thia creek to work not only the bed of the creek but also Ibe bench plncer lands. Craubrnik is progressing fiivor bly, and at Worthier a sawmill is to be put in which will probably help the town considerably." Cap- tain Armstrong, of the steamer Nortb Star, bad just passed through before Mr. Galbraith had left Port Steele, on his way to Tobacco Plains, and it ia his intention to run the North Star between tbe boundary and Port Steele during high water. A good deal of prospecting will be done through the entire section this season, and altogether. Mr. Gal- braith thought that aa soon as the silver- lead question was settled Soutb Hast Kootenay would be tbe best section of British Columbia. He was one of the first to reach Eaat Kootenay, and is as enthuslaatic as ever as to its wonderful resources, and knowing it tborougbly has good reason to speak aa he does.

Advice Abont Fire Insurance. A very proper and Indeed neceaaary step has been taken by the Dry Goods section of the Toronto board of trade ln Issuing to retail dry goods merchants in city and country a circular which contains worda of warning with reaped to fire Inaurance. One aentence In this circular urges merchants to seek tbe best and most reliable companies In which to place Insurance, and adds wbat Is quite true, namely, that mer chants buy Insurance as they buy nothing else, frequently giving a line to an agent with whom It Is well to be on good terms or whom they wish to favor. It Is poor compensation for the "favor" an Insurance has dona bis friend tbe agent, to find after he has been burned out, that the company is onable to pay the loss or perhaps contests the claim on Insufficient grounds.—Monetary Times. II Will Make Thia Tows th« Busies! in III of Soulh East Kootenay, It begins to look aa If tbe Great Nor* thern wonld take the Initiative In getting a road up the St. Marys valley. As soon as the road between the Great Northern and Fernie ie completed, it Is pretty generally understood that that company win proceed to build from E ko north to the St. Marys rlvar, and up tbat valley to the Purcell range also securing lake terminals, and connection with Hill's road In Weat Kootenay. Thia would give tbe Great Northern a complete circuit through tha rlebeat mining diatrict of Brltlah Columbia, and a atrong pull for future business. It Is a question, of course, aa to whether tbe C. P. B. will sit down and tamely submit to this invasion. In all probability, there will be a pretty fight, and Marysville will be the center of the contest. The building of a railway is going to make lively times hero this summer, and Marysville promises to be one of the best towns in Eastern British Columbia. There are the very beat of reasons to believe that one of the roads will build tbis summer and possibly both. The St Marys valley Is an Important link to tbe Jim Hill system In British Columbia and It Is fully as Important, If not more so to the C. P R. Of course the latter road has already a survey made up the valley several miles. Tbe Great Nor. thern baa a charter In tbelr handa and can build wben they aee fit. Which ever way it goea, Maryaville Is bound to profit, as It will be headquarters of all opentlons. Elko Is pretty lively during the construction of the Biltlsh Columbia Southern, but Elko la not in it to any extent to what Maryaville will be as soon as this road starts up the valley. There will be not only the railway, bnt the smeller, tha two saw mills, and the large mining interests that will contribute so largely to the business prosperity of Marysville. Cranbrook News.

We rowed right around her, looking for a convenient place to climb on Iter deck, hut llndlng none we just made fust io the mn in channels hy the pointer, and I, being the youngest, scaled her side nml jumped over her mil m ber deck, Jum abaft the main rigging. Everything wns as nent as iiitiepeuee. Tlte ropes were all coiled snugly mound the belaying pins, nml there was uo sign of disorder nbuut the decks. I throw over tho end of cue nf Iho running genr into the bunt so that the skipper might hang on to it and clamber up. The old man caught hold of it nud. having u lot nf low cunning, Just tried Its strength. It wns su rotten that It ported at once. The skipper muttered an oath and looked daggers at inc. Finally he climbed up with the help nf the painter, and after passing the hunt astern, with oue hand In Hike care uf her, we pro. ceedod tn investigate. The vessel hud evidently been a clipper. Her skylights wore beautifully carved, and Ihe cuiupaiijuiiwiiy lending to her cub iu was as elegant as thnt of u yacht. The door, however, wus lucked. A thick blue mold iiieriisted the glass uf lhe skylight nn the inside, and the frames would uu! lift up. The hatchway leading to the fuioeasllc was olnsely burred and hulled, while the fure nud main hatches were tightly buttoned down. rnpiuin flu,liver, while cruising nruunil the decks, stumbled across an old rusty noli crowbar, and with I lit.** he pried open he doors uf l-bo nfler cniiipaiiiunwuy. He peered down heluw. and it was dusky and murky us u liiiuu. He sung nut: "Below there! Is there unyhnily below?" And then he hesitated ns if in a quandary. This wns she first time I ever'saw Ihe old fellow show the white feather. After a lillle while he braced up anil, seizing the cruwbur. broke open the cabin skylights, using, as il seemed to me. uu necessary force in su doing. A mysteri .ins. pestilent odor ascended frutn the aperture. "Ou down below. Hill," said the skipper to une uf liis bunt's crew, "and see whnl there is." "Captain, I'd rather jump overboard and never come up again than go down lhat there cunipniiiniiway atone," was the reply nf tho Beared sailor, whose timber*, actually shivered wiih fear. "Vou wretched coward, you've drunk your last mt uf grog aboard my ship!" roared lhe skipper ns lo plunged down the cabin steps. I followed him ut a cautious distance, being far more frightened thnn be was. The stairs led down into a handsome and lofty saloon, beautifully hung witli oriental K.'ipostry. In a mn hog ny swinging tray abnve lhe cabin table were decaliters ntu! tumblers of cm glass. Although everything was covered wiih b'ue mold un inch thick, ii was evident thut a careful steward hud been acellsl-UUied tn rule over the destinies uf tbe snlunn. On either side uf tho iiiuin cabin wore n number nf doors leading Into staterooms. The skipper tried ihe one nearest the stern un the starboard side. It was luck oil. "Pass down ihat crowbar, Hill," said the enptnin iu quiet tones. He no longer put on the air of a swaggering blusterer, hut acted as though be was iu church listening to a sky pilot. The crowbar wns handed him, and witli it he pried upon lhe stateroom dour. ' A strange and startling spectacle was revealed, Willi her head buried in the cusli- inns of n low couch, on ber kuees before the image of the Blessed Virgin and with her jet black linir' hiding her chocks nnd descending in raven torrents down her back was a beautifully dressed woman, Beside her wore u hrcvinry and a rosary. The skipper started back ns though ho had been shut. The woman actually seemed to hoar the "Excuse inc. madam, for Intruding," he began, but at thnt moment, realizing that she could not he olive, he look hold nf her gently.

High above the statiun. ou a bluff that commanded Ibe finest view In town, was the home of the president of the company, a man wbo bud fought ■I-- ny up nud who now boasted his .- .lis. The president was a toll, dork man, Willi Kteru features, hut a kind heart, and uflou 1 watched blm with envy as he alighted from bis private car and entered the handsome Victoria which carried blm behind bis spanking team up lo bis home on l.nkevllle heights. Often the president did nut go up to the city, and on these occasions lie wired me ou his private Hue, und I wiled to the city for blm. One day, chancing to alt at tba in strument, there came n call on the president's wire, find, responding. I received this message: "Let me know If the rood Is clear." - — A minute tutor I colled up his private wire ond tapped.' "The road Is elonr." "All right." came bnck the answer. It was a simple enough message, but lt set my pulsus throbbing. Mechanically I touched the button und repeated the message, "Tbe road Is clear," and Immediately came back the words, "All right." I sat nt the Instrument like a man in a dream, nnd my thoughts were with Dick, who bad sat at the same spot live years before find bad touched that same Instrument. What was there In that reply that so fascinated inc. or was It the anniversary of poor Dick's death that made me fanciful? That afternoon tlie president come dowu lo the station ou business, nud I looked nt blm closely. He must have seen me watching him, for be shifted his position uneasily and nervously handled the Instrument, I may say thut be was an expert operator und preferred telegraphing bis messages to writing Ibem. As I watched blm I remembered bearing the strange story of bis rise; bow from nn operator on a distant road he bad suddenly become u stockholder, s director nnd Dually the president of the road, und how his wealth and holdings were known far and wide. lie seemed III al ease lhat doy. and I withdrew my eyes uud busied myself elsewhere. But more .an once be caught me 'noting at him. Twice that day tho president drove down to the station, and slowly he drove home again, ns though be were* disturbed about something. The third time he enmo It was almost (lark, and I heard him send bis coachman home, telling him that he would follow soon on foot. Kor half an hour the president busied himself around the station, n most unusual thing for him, aud when bo finally took leave it was to walk hurriedly away iu tbe direction of tbo churchyard, a Journey which I ofuu took myself. Scarcely realizing what I was doing, I pulled my cap over my eyes and started after blm. What excuse I would make If be turned und saw me I knew uot. I only understood that bohk. force was pulling me onward nnd that same force wits taking mo over tho same road aud in the very footprints of President Greydon of the l.nkevllle and l.aska railway.

Springing to bis feet, he turned and faced me, uot ten feet nway. Willi a cry of rage he sprang toward me. "So you followed me!" be cried fiercely between bis teeth. "You dogged my steps!" He wns u powerful man, but In the struggle which followed I enslly mastered him and hud him pinioned, white and panting. "Do not add another minder," I said fiercely, "to that of Dick Ilauisey." "How tlo you know?" he whispered, "1 recognized your hand upou the wire. I was the agent ot the next station when you—too!; Dick's place—you remember—live years ago—today!" "Oh. tlod, yes!" he cried. "Shall I ever forget? Wheu I had to come to this cursed place to live. I thought It might disappear after awhile. But II grows stronger every day.

Tbe Story of a Man Who Was Thought Fit Only to Blow Bugle Calls. BT EDWARD B. CLARK. t ' '*^-i^.*»->.«-tIr-a^."-a>«>-»-».»-*|-«^"-*>-»-«>*»» Hans Mueller used to toot a trumpet In the Third cavalry. Hans wns more or less of a butt for the Jolys of- tinmen of bis troop. He took ull kinds of gibes with a good nature that was us perfect as it was stolid. The trumpeter knew more about music thnn be did about muskets. When for awhile he tried what the ether men called straight soldiering, he was continually getting tangled up witb bis ciiulp- lueuls, uud on several occasions at skirmish drill bo enme within nu ncc of sbootlug himself. His comrades told Hans that as long us be confined his efforts to killing himself tbey would offer uo strenuous objection, but that If he got real careless and shot the head off some one else be must look out for trouble. As a matter of ftict, lip did oue dny come pretty close to putting a bullet through the heart of Scr- geuut Peter Nelson, who forthwith thrashed Hans In uu approved style. Captain Kobcrts called Haus "gross" and said thnt he must stick to his trumpet. The edict of bis cblef mnde Haus feel bad. Ho blew the whole scale of calls from reveille through fatigue, recall and drill to tops, but his soul wasn't In his music. Down deep lu Hnus' soul tbere enme tbe thought that somehow be was not like other men. Tbe smartness of appearance which characterized Sergeant Nelson, Corporal Brady nnd a score of privates bo knew could never be bla. There was lacking ln his mnkeup that something which gives dash to a soldier. Huns used to fall over his feet In a most tin- military way, and his unnds were never In the proper places. Tbere wns one thing, however, that could be snid for him, be always tried to obey orders Implicitly. He generally blundered while making tbe attempt, but the Intent wns right, nnd that covers a,multitude of sins much more serious In nature than mere blunders. The Third cavalry was In the Wyoming country ln the Elkhoru creek region. There bad been n good deal of trouble with the Nez Forces, nnd L troop had been kept on the Jump most of the time for a month. L troop was Hans' outfit. There had been one constant succession of scoutlngs. It had been necessary to send small squads In half a dozen different directions ut one and the sumo time. The trumpeter had been forced to stay with the main body, which was not n very big main body at that, at ull times. He had been In everything in which the whole troop was engaged, but tbe Idea of sending Hans out on n reconuolssniice where coolness nnd the subtlety of Ibe devil were necessary for safety was the last thing thnt ever entered the head of tbe troop commander. One dny, however, one of the coldest duys of tbe second winter mouth, It became necessary to send n scouting paity to Investigate the rumor of Ibe approach of n band of savages. Now, it hnppened thnt the whole command was fagged out, and this iu a nutshell Is the reason why Hans Mueller found himself for the first time In his life In a position of neute responsibility. He wns ordered by Coptnln Roberts lo proceed with Sergeant Nelson nnd two privates northwest until something was "folt" or until tho sorgonut was satisfied that a wrong report bad been turned Into tlio camp. When the little body set out, the fatigue of tbe Individual members of the troop showed that It was uot, so to speak, Rtrong enough to keep these sumo individuals from giving Hans a sendoff. Hans hod a carbine and n revolver. His trumpet wns hanging up on a peg. One of the bystanders said to the sergcantin command: "Look out for Hans If you happen to get Into n scrimmage. Tho first thing you know he'll forget himself, nnd he'll try to blow 'retreat' on bis cnrblne. You may lose one man If Hans puts his moutb to the wrong end of tlie borrei." Then they said u few other things to HniiB. He wns told to be sure not to get bis canteen mixed up wltb his cartridge belt and to mnko sure thnt he took note of the Inndmnrks on tho wny out so lie could get bnck to camp In a hurry If be happened to hear un Indian shoot off his gun. Hans took all this well enough, because the thought of uctually going out on a scout wns sufficient to knock all other things out of his head, resentment along with tbem. They hnd left the camp fur behind them. Sergeant Nelson, who *ivns nn old and tried campaigner, turned to his men and said. "We nre getting near lhe place where we tuny expect to see something." Then ho spoke seriously to Hans. ".Mueller," bo said, "you're not half ob bud perhaps as the troop makes out, but I tell you honestly tbnt I'm kind of afraid of you wben it cuiiics to n pinch. Do lhe best you can ami don't run. Ah a matter of fact, 1 think Hint .Um Crosby was pipe dreaming when bo brought the rumor of reds lu this vicinity lulu crimp, but you may have a chance to sec trouble and If you do nlcase stick." That waa a pretty tough thing to have to aay to a aoldler wltb Uncle Sam's uniform on his back. Stick! Mueller's face went almost white under realization thnt the true significance of that admonition wns that tbe sergeant had n pretty stiong fear In tils heart tbat this trumpet tfioter was n coward. Stick! He would show tbem If be was only given a chance. Sergeant Peter Nelson wns an old -.un tried campaigner, maeed, but that dny he made n mistake. He led his throe men straight Into nn ambush. There were a score of painted Nez Forces straight across their track. The Indians had very little cover, but tbey used It so artfully that the old soldier sergeant bad actually thought that the bit of embankment and the few scattered bowlders did not offer cover enough to conceal a Jnck rabbit. The first Intimation of tlio Indians' presence was a volley. Sergeant Nelson went to the ground with n wound In Ills side. One of tho privates, shot through tbe shoulder nnd leg, fell with him. The two men crawled behind a couple cf rocks and secured temporary shelter. At the savage volley Hans Mueller's heart went to bis throat. With the other private, who. like nans, was iinlilt, he fell back about forty yards and went behind an adequate cover. There for live minutes tbey exchanged shuts witli the reds, who, In accordance with Indian custom, would in t charge across the open, but depended rather upon being able to pick off tbe Soldiers and then tu go forward without danger and take the scalps. Hans Mueller found that he could use his carbine. His heart went down out of- bis throat. He locked nruund him nnd saw Unit there was some chance of holding the savages off for hours. Out beyond he saw bis two stricken comrades. They were not dead. He knew tbat because lie saw them move and occasionally weakly r.-ilsi- themselves and send a shot In the direction of the red foe. Ho ns said to himself, "Those men must be brought bnck here." Tben ho handed his enrbino to his comrade nnd with It his belt nnd nnlmunltlon. "You mny need these," he Bald, "If those fellows hit me." Then he Jumped over the rock In front of blm, und with his long, shambling, nngnlnly stride he made for the side of Sergeant Nelson. The Indians pumped nt him. The balls whizzed by bis head, cut his clothes In three places nnd spat spitefully Into the dust nt his feet. Telling Nelsou to grab his carbine, Mueller raised the sergeant In his nrtus and mnde bnck fer cover, his track all the way marked out for bim by the shots of the savages. He dropped the sergeant under the shadow of the rock and then stood ou bis feet. •'Where you going, Mueller?" said Sor/jeniit Nelson feebly. "I'm going after Dodds," snid Mucl Ior, and bo cleared the little rock to the front once more. "God bless you. Mueller." wns whnt be beard above the cracking of the rifles to bis front. He reached the side of ibe wounded Dodds, raised blm and started back with blm across tbe strip of hell. Twice he staggered ns volleys rang out, but lie reached the side of his comrades and placed Dodds between Nelson and the unwounded trooper. Then linns Mueller fell dead. Relief came to the three surviving cavalrymen. The two wounded lived.

"I've hunted everything from gray squirrels to grizzlies," snid a veteran Philadelphia sportsman, "and the nearest 1 ever cume to being seriously injured by any sort of game was one time when n wounded bird attacked and tried lo kill me. "I wus a boy then nnd went down to a creek that flowed through my father's farm to watch for a mink. It wns early In the evening, and n blue heron came and sat within tempting gunshot I knew it would spoil ray chances at mink to shoot the bird, nnd I didn't Intend to do It; but, kidlike, raised the gun nnd took aim just to see how I could kill It If I would. I lowered tbo gun nnd then raised it again, Every time I raised It I would touch' the trigger gently. After nwhlle 1 touched It too bard, the gun weut off, and I started toward the heron, which wns wounded. "I thought It would be a good scheme to catch tbe bird and started to do so, wben Its bill shot out like a sledge bummer nnd Btruek me between the eyes. When I enme to my senses, lt wns dark, and lt was several minutes longer before I could remember where I was or what had happened. A littlo harder und the bird would have killed inc. 1 shudder even yet wheu I think what would hnve been the result if the bill had struck one of my eyes." The f,aet Gladiatorial Combat. Gladiatorial games were prohibited by an edict of the Emperor Constantino In A. D. S25, but from some cause, probably tbe loudly expressed disapprobation of the people, the edict was allowed to fall Into disuse, and its penalties wcro never visited on Its violators. Daring the reign of Honorlns the defeat of the Goths In Italy was celebrated by games, but In the niliist of the lights ln the amphitheater ot Vespasian a monk named Telemnchus found bis way Into tbe arena and parted the combatants with a large processional cross. The populace swarmed over the barricades and tore tho monk to pieces, but tbe moral effect of the heroic net was permanent, nnd In A. D. 404 an Imperial edict abolished gladiatorial sports In the Coliseum aud shortly nfter throughout the Roman empire. The fight stopped by Telemnchus was the last In the Coliseum, aud that structure Is now consecrated to tbe honor of Telemnchus and the Christian martyrs wbo perished In tbe persecutions by Nero and otber emperors. Two Cruel Panlabmenta. Tbe gantlope, or gantlet, was military and naval punishment for theft. A man bad to run tbe gantlet of a long file of bis fellow soldiers, each provided wltb a switch, and to prevent tbe sinner going too rapidly and to see that no man. Impelled by motives of friendliness or kindness, fulled to strike bard, a sergeant walked backward, facing tbe aald sinner, with a halberd pointed at the hitter's breast. After a lengthy experiment this was found to be Inconvenient nnd degrading, so recourse was bad to another method, a variety of the same species of torture. Tbe offender was tied to four halberds, three In a triangle nnd a fourth ncross. The regiment or company then filed off, the cnt-o'-nine-talls was placed ln the bands of the first man, who gave the culprit a Insb and passed on, handing tbe cat to the second, wbo also gave a lash, and so tbe game went merrily on until tbe offense bad been expiated.—London Graphic.

We venture to suy that m our town of a,000 inhabitants few business men are bctOer known that Mr. SI. A. Gauthkr, the young and hustling butcher, of Slain street. He wasn't however, us energetic or as hustling a couple of years ago as he is today, and for a good reason—he wasn't well. Having gone into business ere reaching Ins majority his de- sre to succeed was such that no hee*i wus paid to keeping the body in tlie slate of health necessary to staml a strain, and in conseiquuice of the extra demands upon the system It became run down to such an extent that epihitsy or falling sickness resullt^l, and these lupsx-s into unconsciousness becoming alarmingly freciuenl he consulted physicians aud took some remedies, but without beneficial results. Finally seeing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills udverlistd ns a cure for falling sickness he djcided to give tlKiu a trial. As to th-:; result the I'ost uannot do better .than give Mr. Gauthicr's story in his own words : "'Yes," said Sir. (Jauthier, "for nearly four years I suffered from epihpsy or falling ills, which took me without warning und usually hi most inconvenient places. I am just twmty-four years of age, and 1 Uiink I started business too young and the fear of failing spurred me to greater efforts perhaps than was good for my constitution, nnd the consequence was that 1 became subject to those attacks which came w'thout any wanning whatsoever, leaving me terribly sick and weak afur they had passed. I got*to dread their recur- ren«*-j very much. I consulted doctors and took their remedies to no purpose, the fits still troubled me. ] saw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills advertise^! and determined to try them. I did so, and iho medicine helped mo so ttyuch that I gol more and kept on taking them until today I am as well, yes bettor, than I ever was, and am nut tro-ubled at all by efpilepsy or the fear of the fits seizing me again.

Then he nud his companion quietly stole nwny. Ills wonderful voice on one occasion placed the great tenor Mnrlo In n somewhat Invidious position. When traveling wltb some companions in Spain, he fell Into the hands of a party of marauding gypsies, who demanded tbe customary ransom. Mario, tickled nt the situation, answered their request In Impromptu song, which be delivered with such exquisite mock dignity that bis captors with unanimous acclamation elected blm captain of their band. Tbe singer diplomatically acquiesced In their decision, but lu Ihe course of the following day contrived to make bis escape with his friends. On another occasion In Madrid the same singer, as he was returning late one night from the theater where he wus engaged, was arrested by the police In mistake for a political discontent. In vain he asserted his Identity. He wns carried before their chief, who likewise smiled Incredulously at the captive's asseverations. Greatly angered, Mnrlo vehemently demanded that his friends should be forthwith communicated witb, but tbe odlcial shook his head and remarked that If Indeed he were the grent tenor be possessed in his voice a sure means or proving the truth of his words.

The pain would go away for a time, but return with greater force, and a strange feature of his case was that after the pain would leave any part, il lefl behind il that prickly "pins and neodles" sensation. He thought Umt perhaps his smoking tobacco had something to do with it. and he gave this up, but re- received no benefit at all until he used Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Often Leads to Serious trouble Unless Prompt Stops Are Taken to Check it—How This Can Best Be Done. Indigestion is a trouble that is very common is infancy and early childhood, and unless prompt measures are taketn to control it the result is bery often. It prevents the vents the proper growth of the child and weakens the constitution, so that he is unable to resist other disease that are more dangerous. Fortunately, however, the trouble Is aa that is easily controlled. l'ro|ier food—not too much, but absolutely pure—plenty of fresh air and Baby's Own Tablets, freely administered according to the directions, will soon put tlie sufferer right, and make both mother and child happy. Mrs. W. E. Bossum, of Kingston, Ont., is one of the many mothers who has proved the truth of this statement. Sho says ; "When my little girl was about three months old she had indigestion very badly. She was vomiting and had diarrhoea almost constantly. She was very thin, weighed only four pounds, and although she hod n ravenous appetite her food did her no good whatever, 1 had tried several medicines, but they did mot help her. Then I heard of Baby's Own Tablets, and procured a toy, After giving her the tablets for a few days, the vomiting and diarrhoea ceased, she began to improve at once and grew plump and fat. I nlways give her Iho tablets now when she is ailing und tho result is always good. Baby's Owm Tablets are the best medicine I havo ever used for a child." These tablets will promptly* cure all the minor ailments of little ones, such as sour stomach, Indigestion, colic, constipation, allny the irritation accompanying the cutting of tenth, etc. They are good for children of all ages, and crushed to a powder or dissolved in water can be given witli absolute safety to tho youngest infant. If you cannot obtain Baby's Own Tablets at your druggists, Ihey will be sent postpaid nt 2.1 cents a box by addressing tlie Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Broekville, Ont. A GUARANTEE*-"! hereby certify that I have mode a careful chemical analysis of Baby's Own Tablets, which I personally purchases in a dru.2 store in Montreal. My analysis has proved that lhe Tablets contain absolutely i:r> opiate or narcotic ; that thoy can lie given with perfect safety to (lie youngest infnnt ; (hat they are a safe and odlcknt medicine for the troubles ihey are Indicated to relieve and cure."

Cranbrook Herald— A, Dick, inspector of mines for East Kootenay, returned laat week from visit to Victoria. In an interview he stated that the coal mining industry of the Crowa Nest Pass is making rapid progress. At Michel tbe company ia taking out 600 tone of coal a day and ia putting up 212 coke ovens. A large number of tbe miners from Nanaimo and other Vaucouver Island mines have come over recently to work for the company at Michel, and the town is building up rapidly. While a tunnel was being run fiom lhe line of the tipple near the creek to connect with No. 4 tuunel a magnificent vein of coal 10 feet thick waa discovered of tbe hardest and best lump coal tbat has yet been discovered in this part of America, Tbis coal is an ideal domestic coal. Thia new tunnel is to be 700 feet in length when complt ted, and all the coal from No. 4 tunnel will be brought out through it. It is expec. ted that it will be completed next month. At Coal creek quite a little town has sprung up near the mines, which are increasing in shipping facilities all tbe time. Of the six veins that bave been uncovered for working, into which eigtit tunnels have been run, Nos. 1 and 3 are IS feet thick. The mlnea are turning out 2000 tons a day from these veins Fernie is very lively and a good deal of building is going 011. At Morrissey the coal company has erected buildings sufficient to accommodate about 200 vtork- men. Considerable development has been done in opening up the veins and an immense lot of coal is ready for shipping, aud is ouly awaiting the completion of tbe Crows Nest Southern to oe shipped. Quite a town has beeu built up tbere, waiting for occupancy for the arrival of tbe railway, wheu a Inrge force of men will be put to work The town site baa not yet been put on the market, but Mr. Dick said I e thought lhat it would be a good town very quickly. Bellies the dtifiing 011 the veins thai lias been done, ventilating apparatus has been put iu and all made ready, so that wheu the railway reaches the 1,1 ne, pro viding an outlet fur tlie product, shipping enn be commenced immediately.
