Smith S*iys That the Govermuut Will Live. DUNSMUIR HAS A SURE CINCH The Work of the Last House a Deep Disgrace to the Province. From Cianbrook Herald. E. C. Smith, M. P. P., passed through* Cranbrook Monday afternoon on bis way home from Victoria. Mr, Smith was looking well, and the winter's sojourn in the coast city seems to have given bim* an up-to-date, citified appearance. While tbe train waited he met many of bis old friends and received from all a cordial welcome and a hearty handshake. To The Herald man, Mr. Smith said: '•Yes. tbe house has adjourned, and the people should feel thankful. A proclamation should be issued granting an holiday for two days, so that the people might offer up their thanks tbat at last this legislature bad adjourned. It waa the worst on record, and wbat is more, there were men there wbo voted as they were dictated to, like a lot of jelly fish, and got nothing for it. I am ashamed of the outfit, and I know tbalt the people are doubly ashamed of their representatives tbis year. There were all kinds of serious charges made of venality, and in most every Instance there was no attempt at denial." Will tbere be an election?" 'No, I don't think so. Tbe government has a mnjority and will hold it. They may unseat Prior, but that will make no difference in the hold of tht government. I guess the people of British Columbia will have to stand the burden for two years; at least, until another session. Dunsmuir has gone to tbe Coronation. He succeeded in many of his railway bills and has gone to the Coronation a happy man. I will be er to Cranbrook next week to attend the circus. You see I have been mixed up in the biggest circus in British Columbia for so long, lhat I am afraid that I will get lonesome if I let any pass us by." Mr. Smith, in his legislative career this year, stood by the people upon all measures presented, and fougbt for the province as a whole. But, unfortunate ly, along this line uf policy be was in » hopeless minority. BLAMES THE COMPANY. Cranbrook News. From tho He'rald— J. L. Parker, manager of tbe North Star mine, and I).

Fernie, June so.—Tbe coroner's In- quest into tbe deaths of Steven Morgan, Joseph Saigalla and William Robinson, three of tbe victims of tbe Coal creek mine disaster, came to a close today, tad tbe jury after being out for seven hours brought in the following verdict: "Tbat the said Steven Morgan, Joseph Sangalla aud William Robinson came to their deaths ou Thursday, the 22nd day of May, 1902, at or about tbe bour of 7:30 o'clock iu tbe afternoon, in wbat it known as numbers two and three mines, situated on Coal creek, near tbe town of Fernie, in the province of British Columbia, tbe property of and worked by tbe Crows Nest Pass Coal company, limited; "That we, the said jury, find the initial cause of the explosion being si a point in number two mine aforesaid, not clearly defined, and tbat said initial cause extended from tbe said undefined point throughout the greater portion of number two and three minea, coal du*t being the conveying medium; and we find in consequence that the inadequate method of watering and removing of the dust lelt tbe mine in such a condition to be dangerous, and thereby providing t medium whereby tbe initial cause waa augumented and intensified; tbat we, the said jury, recommend tbe government to take such steps to enforce. "rst—Tbe Immediate installation of ihe most approved system of watering for allaying dust in coal mines. "2nd—That a more thorough inspection be adopted at these mints, through' ont the old winkings and rooms contiguous to the air channel, that are not be* ing worked. "3rd—Tbat the safest explosive and most approved ssfety lamps be used." Throughout the inquest the chief eff it has been to locate the point iu the No 2 mine at which tbe explosion occiinu). The miners and tbeir committee have beeu almost unanimous in their opinion that the explosion originated in thr Nn. 1 machine room, while against this the officials of the company give it as tin Ir opinion that the explosion first occurred in Mi-Donald's level. All the bodies have been recovered witb the exception of three or possibly four. These have been burled in tht mine and may possibly never be recovered. STRIKE AT FERNIE. (Special to Tbe Tribune.)

"In my sou] I sliould feel perfectly justified in refusing lliis meeting, for no principle of real honor is at stake. But were I to buck out now from this 1 should never meet another generous look in Moscow. Every one would point the linger of scorn toward me, nml the word coward would ring always in my cars. It may be a false state of things—I feei that it really is so—but how can I help il ? It is the eur?e of all groat military epochs. Buttle alone makes heroes, and so all must measure [heir honor by the force of their arms. The coun I carries even now upon his brow lhe mark of my blow, nnd all will say lie has a right to demand satisfaction, though I know tluil he provoked the quarrel on purpose. I connol refuse him on the ground of stilllnn, for he is above tne in lhat. I must meet him." "Then," snid ihc mother in a low, oa'm lone, bill with much elTort, "vou shall not feel tlmt your mother would illwiirl your design. If your own good judgment says go, then go ]f ibi'V bring yiiur body lo me in the fieri) grasp of di'iiih.

"I will nol have a fellow being's blood upon my band if I Clin avoid it. Only lo save my own life will I take his. lie has done till ibis himself—all, all. The quarrel was bis own, and lhe first blow was his. Tbe challenge is bis, and now is uot the responsibility bis also?" "II is, my son, so far as he alone is concerned. If you havo a respon- sibilily, it must be to your own soul. Hut tell me, has not the emperor made some new law touching this practice of dueling?" "Yes, but only tho challenger is responsible. The party challenged is held free from blame in the eyes of the law." "Then I shall interpose no more objections," said the mother. She tried to speak hopefully, but bIic could not hide the fearful sadness of Iier heart. "Could fervent prayer avert Ihe blow it should not fall, but ) can only pray as one without power." A long time after this was passed in silence. Both tho mother and eon seemed to havo something upon their minds whicll they wished to fav, bul dared not. But the former at length overcame her reluctance. "Ifuric, mv sou," she said, keep- iris back the tears that struggled for utterance in their silent speech, "is there any little word you would leave—any matter of moment"— "No, no," the boy answered, speaking calmly by cll'ort. "I am yours, and all is yours. But I shall not fall." "Ah, be not too confident, my son. Let no bucIi assurance lead you to forget your God. I have heard of this count, lt was he who slew ltut- ger, and Momjako, too, he slew in the duel. Ho is an expert swordsman and surely menus to kill you if be can." "I am aware of tbat, my mother. But do you know that wo are all prone to overlook our own powers when pondering upon the feats of ■others? I may be pardoned for assuming you that tho only man who has ever yet overcome the count at tbe sword play was one of my own scholars. While in Spain 1 practiced with some of the best swordsmen in tbe kingdom. But, listen, 1 will send ono word. l'or yourself I can tell you nothing which you do not know. But yet you may see Rosalind. If you do, tell her— But you know my soul. Vou can tell her as you please. But I shall not fall." It was now late, and ere long Rurie kissed Ilia motlicr and then retired to his bed. And lhe widow was left alone. Willi her eyes sho followed the retreating form of her beloved son, nnd when he was gone from ber fight the bowed ber bead and sobbed aloud. When she reached her humble couch, she knelt by tbe sido thereof and poured forth her pent up soul lo fjoil. When her head had pressed tbe pillow, sbe tried to hope, sbe tried lo fasten one hope in her mind, but she looked only into the night. Not one ray of light reached her struggling soul. She opened her eyes of promise in vain, for she looked into a gloom so utter that out of its depths loomed only the blackness of despmir. Sleep on, Ruric. But, oh, couldst thou know how thy fond mother's heart is racked tbere'd be no sleep for thee I CHAPTER V.

J-J ■ IB '.'.vm:*m,.:::::'.,.::w.,.:',\ fast table not a word of the one all absorbing theme was uttered. After lhe meal was finished the gunmaker went out to bis shop aud took down from one of the ciosets a long leathern case in which were two swords, both of the same make and finish, only different in size. They were Toledo blades and of most exquisite workmanship and finish, liuric took out the heaviest one, which wus a Iwo edged weapon with a cross hilt of heavily gilded metal. He placed lhe point upon the door, and then, wiih all his might, he bent tbe blade l ill the pommel touched the point. The lithe steel sprang back to its place with a sharp clang, and the texture was not started. Then he struck the flat of the blade upon tbe anvil with great force. The ring was sharp and clear, aud the weapon remained unharmed. "By St. Michael, Paul, Moscow docs not contain another blade like lhat. Damascus never saw n bet- ler." Thus spoke the gunmaker to his boy as he balanced tbo beautiful weapon in his hand. "I think you are right, my master," the boy returned, who had beheld the trial of the blade witb unbounded admiration. "But," he added, "could you not temper a blade like tbnt?" "Perhaps if I had the steel. But I have not. The steel of these two blades came from India and was originally in one weapon, a ponderous two handed affair belonging to a Bengal chieftain. The metal possesses all the hardness of the finest razor, with the elasticity of the most subtle spring. My old master ul Toledo gave mo those as a memento. Were I to mention the sum of money he was once offered for ihe largest one you would hardly credit it." "How much?" asked Paul, with a boy's curiosity. "It was a sum equal to about 700 ducats." "And yet he gave it nway." "Aye, for its price was but imaginary, while its worth to him was only commensurate with the good it did him. If he told the truth, he loved me, and these he gave me as a parting gift as the best patterns I could wish for when making such." After this Ituric put up the small sword, and tben he gave Paul a few directions about the work, promising to be buck before night. The faithful boy shook his head dubiously as he heard this promise, but he said nothing, and shortly afterward liuric went into lhe house. Just then Alaric Orsa drove up to the door. Hurie was all ready but putting on his bonnet and pelisse. His mother was in the kitchen. He went to her with a smile upon his face. He put his arms about her and drew her to his bosom. "God bless vou. mv motherl I shall come back." lie said this ami then kissed her. "God keep—and"— It was all she could say. Rurie gazed a moment inlo her face, then he kissed her again, and again he said: "God bless you, my motherl I shall come back." He dared not stop to speak more. Gently sealing his fond mother upon a chair, he turned and hurried from the place. In tbo hall he threw on his pelisse and bonnet, and then he opened the door and passed out. "Have you u good weapon?" ask- L'd Orsa as the horse started on. "I have a fair one. I think it will not deceive me," returned Rurie. "I asked," continued Orsa, "because Damonoff prides himself upon lhe weapon he wears. It is a German blade, and he thinks he can cut in twain the blade of nny other weapon in Moscow with it." "I have a good weapon," Rurie said quietly, "and one which has stood moro tests than most swords will bear." And after somo further remarks he related the peculiar circumstances attending the making of the sword and bis possession of it. At length they struck upon the river, and in half nn hour more they reached the appointed spot. The day was beautiful. The sun shone brightly upon the glistening snow, and the air was still and calm. The sharp frost of the atmosphere served only In brace tho system up, and Rurie I brew open his pelisse thnt ho might breathe more freely. Ho had been upon the ground but a few minutes when the other party enme in sight around the head of the river. As soon as the count and his second arrived and the horses had been secured tbe lieutenant proposed that they should repair to tbe building wbich was close nt hand. Tbis was a large open boatbouse which was unused and deserted in tho winter, and it was proposed to go in there because the reflection of the strong sunlight from the bright snow was calculated to blind and blur the eye. "Hal What means that?" uttered Orsa as he saw a sledge just turning the bend of the river with an officer in it. "It is only a surgeon," replied Damonoff. "I would not cut a man's flesh without giving him a fair chance to survive it." "And then you may find him serviceable to yourself, eh?" suggested tbe lieutenant. "Of course. There is no telling what mav happen." In a moment more the new sledge came up, and Utirio recognized its inmate us an army surgeon whom he had seen before, though he knew not his name. "Now for the old boatbouse," cried I'rzen. "Aye," added Damonoff. "Let us have ibis business done, for I wonld he back to dinner. I dine with Olga today, and a fair maiden awaits my coming." "Notice him not," whispered Orsa, who walked close by Hone's side. "That is one of his chief points when engaged in nn affair of this kind, lie hopes to get you angry nnd so unhinge your nerves." "Never fear," returned tbe gunmaker. "Be sure ho only brings new danger to himself, for 6ucb efforts will find thoir point in tbe muscle of my arm." The party balled when they reached tbe interior of .the rough structure, and the count threw off bis pelisse and drew bis sword. Ruric followed his example. "Sir count," the latter said as he moved a step forward, "ere we commence ibis work I wish all present to understand distinctly bow I stand. You bave sought this quarrel from the first. Without the least provocation from me you have insulted me most grossly, nnd this is the climax. So, before God and man, be the result upon your own head." "Out, lying knave"-— "Hold," cried the surgeon, laying his hand heavily upon the count's arm. "You have no right to speak thus, for you lower yourself when you do it. If you have come to fight, do so honorably." An angry reply waa upon Damo- noff's lips, but be did not speak it. He turned to his antagonist and said: "Will you measure weapons, sir? Mine may be a mite the longest. I seek no advantage, and I have one here of the same length and weight ns my own if you wish it." "1 am well satisfied as it is," replied Ruric. "Then take your ground. Are you ready?" "I nml" The two swords were crossed in an instant, with a clear, sharp clang. There was some contrast between the two combatants, but not much apparently. The count wns a little tho taller, and Ruric was somewhat heavier. But to a close observer there was a peculiar contrast in the hearing of tho two men. That breast swelling out so nobly and those massive shoulders, made for lhe seat ot physical power, were Kuril;'s aione to possess. Yet Conrad Damonoff was accounted a strong man. In the athletic sports of the court club ho had few superiors and not many equals. But Ruric Novel had never shown his strength there. Now, for the first time, that contemptuous look passed from the count's face. As his eye caught his antagonist's position, as he noticed tho calm, dignified, quiet ease of every limb and as ho caught the deep, mystic fire of those expressive eyes he knew that he had no common amateur to deal with. At length Conrad Damonoff started back, and a quick cry escaped his lips. His antagonist's point had touched his bosom. It had pressed against his heart and had not been driven home. Well he knew that his life was his no longer, for the gunmaker had gained it and spared it. "You fence well," he gasped, struggling to regain his composure. "You nre not a novice," returned Ruric calmly, at tbe same time allowing his point to drop. "Come on," the count uttered, now gathering all his energies for another effort. And again tho weapons were crossed. This time Damonoff was moro guarded. Before he had been impelled by his own assurance, but now be was forced to regard his opponent's power. Ruric quickly found that the other was more careful than at first, und ho carried his own point accordingly. At tho twelfth stroke the count made a feint to the left, then at tho throat, nnd then, with a quick, lightning- like motion, he brought his point to his antagonist's heart. But hia meaning had been read from the first by Ruric. Tho youth caught the motion of tho eye, and he saw that bis heart was tho place looked to. His own movement was almost instinctive, lie received his antagonist's sword midway upon his own blade, then moved his arm quickly forward nnd caught the point under his cross guard; then, with all his power, ho wrenched his nrm upward and backward, and the count's sword went flying across the building. It struck the opposite wall with a dull clnng, nnd the next instant it was half buried in tbe snow. "Fear not, sir," said Ruric aa the count started back, with both hands raised. "I never strike an unarmed man." Damonoff's arms fell to his side, and a deep blush of shame mantled his face. "By St. Paul," cried the surgeon, "your life is forfeited, sir count, and now you should be satisfied." "No, no," the discomfited man exclaimed, starting up with rage and mortification. "Thnt wna but a slip. 'Twm a false steu. a cowardly feint I am not overcome.'* "But, mail of mortality, even now your life is Novel's. He may run you through-now if bo chooses." "But he has not," the count cried, springing to where his 6word had fallen and snatching it up. "Sir count," here spoke Ruric calmly, but with marked contempt, "you should not blame me for what I have done, for thrice have you tried to break my sword." "Then try it again I" Damonoff returned. "Take my sword again if you can." "Perhaps not," our hero retorted. "But be sure your sword shall be used no more after this day." "na! Brag not, but strike. Tf you can"— Tbe conclusion of the sentence was drowned.by the clash of Bteel. At the second stroke the count made another furious thrust at bis antagonist's heart. Ruric sprang quickly aside, and with the whole power of his good right arm he struck Damonoff's blade close to tho haft and broke it in twain. "My other sword, my other sword I" the count shouted, now blinded by absolute madness. "Ob, give me my other"— "Hold!" cried both the surgeon and Stephen Urzen in concert. "You nre mad, Conrad." "Mad? Oh, I shall be mad I Where ia my sword?" tbe reckless man yelled, casting the bludeless pommel down. "But will you not listen one"— "Away, I say! Shall I give up because my sword is broken? By the gods, tho weapon deceived me. Where is the other?" "Deceived thee, Conrad?" repeated tho surgeon sarcastically. "By the Holy Ghost, had thy bond but received a hundredth part of tbe blow 'twould not be upon thy shoulders now I" But the count wns beyond all reason. In his madness he saw not that bis sword had been broken on purpose. He did not see thnt he had been at bis antagonist's mercy. But his friends saw it all. "Hal Whom have we here?" cried Alaric, whoso eye had caught a dark form at the entrance of the old building. It waa Vladimir, the monk. "How now ? Whnt seek yo here?" asked Urzen as the fnt, burly monk wnddled toward tbo party. "1 heard the clash of arms, mv son, as 1 rode by, and 1 stopped to see what it was.

Reluctantly Urzen brought forward the second sword, but ere ho gave it up ho said: "Beware, Conrad. You had better"— "Peace, babbler!" tbe excited fool hissed, snatching tho weapon and then turning quickly upon the gunmaker. Thus far Ruric had remained silent, but he felt it his duly to speak now. "Sir count," he said in n tone so stern nnd authoritative and with a look so commanding tbat the'other was beld in abeyance by it, "1 must speak ono word. You have provoked a quarrel with me, and you have challenged me. I have no fear of death when duty calls for my life, but I would not die thus, nor would I slay a fellow being thus. Six separate times today since our swords first crossed have I spared your life"— "Liar I" —"and twice have I had you before me unarmed," Ruric continued without noticing the interruption. "I had hoped this would havoehown you that I sought not harm to you and, furthermore, that you wore no match for me at this kind of work." "Out, fool!" yelled Damonoff, now fairly frothing with rage, "if you dare not cross swords again, say so, but do not crawl off like a coward 1" "One word moro," uttered Ruric, paling for an instant beneath the unmerciful insult of the senseless tongue that assailed him, and ho stood proudly erect while ho spoke, "before these mon hero assembled and before God 1 swear that thus far I have spared you, but my own life may be tho forfeit if I trifle with you more. So now beware. You have sufficient warning." Perhapa the count really overlooked tho facta of which Ruric had spoken. In his ungovernable rage be may have fancied that 'twas only accident that had worked against him. However, ho started forward once moro and made a furious lunge ut his antagonist. "Now," ho gasped, "play your best, for my sword'B my own." But Rurie spoke not. Ho saw that tho count was stronger than before —for bis rngo Bccmcd to give him a maniac'B power—and that he was earnest only for life or death. Ho struck quickly and furiously, and his movements were strnnge and unprecedented. He threw up all rules of exercise and cut and thrust only in wild madness. Twice Ruric came nigh being run through. He lost all run of liis opponent's play and quickly saw that he must put a stop to tho conflict or run the risk of leaving a childless mother in hia home to seo that day's sun sink.

The subject of hand separators formed the text of an interesting address delivered at a recent meeting of the Canadian Dairymen's association by Professor II. II. Denn, one of the oliielals of the Ontario Agriculture college at Ouelph. After explaining the principles upon wbicb tbe machine works Professor Dean went on to deal with the advantages of the separator and In tills connection said: "Oue of the chief benefits of a band separator in the private dairy Is that It is a cleanser of milk. If you take what Is supposed to be clean milk and run it through a separator, you will lie amazed nt wlmt will come out of the milk. This Is an Important factor In favor of the use of separators, ns clean, pure cream means better butter, "A second advantage Is that It enables the private dairyman to get more of this better class of cream and Hum make inure and better butter. A third gain to the farmer Is that It gives lilin a better quality of sklmmilk."

We lb Ink It would be n good plan to mix some wheat bran with the beans. We do not think It advisable to get along with only silage for roughage. The cow seems to crave more or less dry forage In connection with silage or even with best pasturage. The rnn-Anierlenii Tent. Guernseys won In butter production nt the six months' test nt the Pan- American exposition in spite of the fact that one of the best cows wns sielt several days during the test.

Alfalfa For Dnlrr Cows. Alfalfa is a profitable crop for New Jersey dairymen lo grow for soiling crops, snys New England Homestead. Five crops In a season hnve been eutnt the New Jersey experiment station at New Brunswick, where It Is preferred to bran, as it can be grown nnd thus eaves the money bran costs, while lt Is 10 per cent richer In protein. BALANCE/* Wations It should not be forgotten in compounding n ration (lint the stomachs of different classes of animals vary In relative size, says Hoard's Dairyman. The cow has very capacious receptacles for food, showing that she Is fitted to consume relatively more coarse fodder than other animals, and hence In arranging her feed regard should be hnd both to bulk nnd the proper distribution of the nutrients throughout the entire mass. For example, twenty pounds of tlipothy hay or ten pounds of corn will furnish practically cqulvnlent nmouuts of nutriment, but the cow will not thrive on corn nlone becnuse of the defective digestion consequent upon failure properly to distend her stomachs nnd subdivide the concentrated food. Those of us who belong to the generation that weut "through the war" remember thnt "roughage" was quite as essential as grain for tbe continued well being nnd endurance of the animals. The prescribed nrmy rntlon for the horse contnlns practically an equal amount of roughage nnd grain; for the cow, under ordinary conditions, we think it best to hnve about two-thirds of the dry tnnttcr in roughage nnd one- third In grnln. When feeding heavily for rapid Increase of weight or extra flow of milk, this proportion cannot be maintained, but the roughage should not be materially decreased. An ATernire Radon. After cows due to freshen soon have bnd tbelr calves wo should consider the following comblnntlon n very good, average ration for the entire herd, including those which nre to freshen In the spring. Of course aueb cows will need less feed than those tbat hare recently freshened, and one must apportion the feed nccordlng to tbe ability of each cow to respond: Twenty pounds of bny. four pounds of bran ami four pounds of buckwheat middlings. In the absence of buckwheat middlings use the same nm.niiit of gluten feed or, what would be still better, If the middlings cannot be obtained In quantities to last all winter give day. Those that give more will need two pounds of each per day Instead of four nounds of either. Rntlon For Holnieln Grniles. We should suppose Hint nn average dully allowance for grade Ilclslein CKWfl would be about forty pounds of the silage, ten pounds of tbe mixed hay. four pounds of the bran and three pounds of tbe gluten feed. This certainly ought to RiilHce for cows giving less than twenty pounds of milk per day. Those that give more will need perhaps uu increased allowance of Kriiia. AN OBSERVATORY HIVE. The Quickest mill Pent Way to Learn the Ut-e tStmincus. F. G. Herman, wbo Ib nu authority on npiariati matters, considers lhat there Is no wny in which so much practical knowledge can be obtained about bees as by observing tbem work- lug in u normal way through the glass sices of itn observatory hive. You will see the Held bin's coming in with tbelr loads of nectar and pollen and depositing them in the cells, the nurse bees feeding the larva; and the comb builders making comb. Vou may nlso observe the queen In ber arduous duty of laying two nnd even three eggs per minute. Mr. Herman therefore tells 111 I'ho I'lirin Journal how to make such a hive: If you are using In your yard a movable frame hive, the matter Is simple uliougll. Make tbe two end pieces, the bottom and cover the same length and height as the hives In your yard, but only wide enough for three frames of eonili. Five Inches inside measurement s nliout right. The sides sliould be made out of good, clear window glass. This constitutes the body of the hive. See Fig. 1. The lower cut in Fig. 2 la a tube Which Is connected lo tbe body nt If, which will be explained a little further on. C In the lirst figure Is a piece of tin that holds the tube In place. The bees enter the tube at A and crawl through the tube Into the blve. Tbe tube In mnde two and a half Inches wide and half an inch high, inside measurement, and about twenty Inches long, or longer If necessary. The upper cut In Fig. 2 Is the hive cover, which has a hole in tlie center two nud a half Inches In diameter covered on tbe underside with wire netting. Tills hole Is for two purposes. If the bees need feeding, a pint fruit jar can be filled witb sirup, then covered with one thickness of cheese cloth nml inverted right on tlie wire, and the bees will do the rest. The other purpose Is to venttilnte the hive in very warm weather. Tills hole should at otber times be covered wltb a small block. Of course It would be useless to put n swarm of bees Into a glass hive, for a 1'IIAME AND K.NTIIANCE TUHE. dark hive suits them belter. About six days afler you have bad a swarm go to the parent hive you Will lind u number of ripe queen cells from which queens will emerge III a day or two. Take three frames of hatching brood, witli one or more queen cells, covered with adhering bees, nnd place them iu the hive. Put on tho cover nnd carry to the porch of your dwelling or otber suitable place and adjust your hive In position. $omo of the old bees will leave, but those thut nre batching will make It their home. For best results lt Is necessnry to have on tbe porch n vine of some sort for n screen. Honeysuckle trained on chicken wire makes n splendid network of foliage thnt can hardly be Improved upon. NKrulc. In the Soil. Tbo continuous growing of wheat or other grnln or of n cultivated crop not only rapidly depletes tbe soil of organic matter, but causes the rapid formation of nitrates, which nre likely to be washed down In the soli below the reach of the roots of plants. In experiments by Professor I.ndd of North Dakota the largest amount of nitrates was found nt a depth of three feet lu hare fallow, while at a depth of seven feet the amount of nitrates was larger than at a depth of one foot. It la evident that the nitrates found were leached down from nbove. Tbe Importance of a proper rotntlon and of eateb crops to take up uud bold the nitrates Ib thus shown. Oooil AliHorbentn For Hen Kln-inre. lieu manure quickly fennenls mil will lose much of Ita nitrogen tf not preserved with nbsorbeuts. Lime and wood ashes sliould not be used for this purpose.

The man who originated tbe oft quoted maxim. "Stuff a cold and starve a fever," either did not understnnd what he was writing about or be bas been widely misunderstood, to the great Injury of multitudes who have acted upon the absurd maxim. Presuming that the author of It was n physician wbo knew something of the nature of colds and tbe action of remedies, be must have spoken sub- Jimctlvely nnd not linperntlvely, nnd then It would rend thus: "If you stuff a cold, the consequence will be thnt you will be thrown Into n fever as a result of the stalling treatment of the cold, nnd tben you will have to starve the fever." This Is a true nnd sensible Interpretation of this commonly received maxim, whicll has done ns much bnrm as any of the thousand and one popular errors which prevail on medlcul subjects. Without dwelling on the nature or causes of colds or on what physicians call the pathology of these disorders, we will say that a low or even stnrvn- *tlon diet for a few days, with the free drinking of warm, mildly stimulating teas.

The existence of names for wheat in the most ancient Innguuges confirms the evidence of Its great antiquity and of its cultivation In the more temperate parts of Europe, Asia and Africa. From the evidence adduced by botanists of high standing. It seems highly Improbable tbnt wheat has ever been found growing persistently In n*wild stale, although It hns often been assorted by poets, travelers nnd historians. In the "Odyssey," for example, we nre told that wheat formerly grew In Rlclly without the nld of mnn. Dlodo- rus repents tbe tradition that Osiris found wheat and barley growing promiscuously In Palestine, but neither this nor other reputed discoveries of wbent growing wild seem nt all credible, seeing that It does not appear to be endowed wltb tbe power of persistency, except under centlnued culture.

WORDS OF HOPE TO ALL WHO SUFFER FROM IIUX DOWN SYSTEM. Mrs. Harriet A. Farr, Fenwiek, Out., Tells How She Obtained a Cure After Suffering for Two Years. LIVE STOCK. CATTLE— Beef cattle continues scarce, and the market is again firm- Butchers are now paying a full 51,'jc for best animals, and from thut down to 4%c for inferior grades. Stockers are going west in considerable numbers. Yearlings are worth as high as $10 per head at point of shipment. Two-year-olds are bringing $20 to $'22 per head. SHEEP—About 5 to 5i/2c per Ib is the value off cars, Winnipeg. HOGS—Best packers' weights O-Hfi per pound off cars Winnipeg, an advance of !4c over last week. Other giades bring proportionate prices. MILCH COWS-+- Cows are very scarce, and good milkers readily bring $45 each in this market. As most of the stock offerings are poor, they bring less money, the range being from $35 to $45. HOUSES—There is a good steady demand for horses for both Tarm and general use, and dealers find no difficulty iu disposing of all they can secure. The market is being largely supplied from Ontario. Thousands throughout this country suifer seriously from general debility—the result of impoverished olood and shattered nerves. To all such tlie story of Mrs. Harriet Fair, widow of the late Hev. Richard Farr, Fenwiek, Ont., a lady well known throughout the Niagara dis- tri-.r, will point the means of renewed health. Mis. Farr says: "For a couple of years prior to 1899 1 was a great sufferer from a rundown system. My digestion wns bad ; 1 had little or no appetite and was in a very poor state; I suffered from heart palpitation and a feeling of continual exhaustion. Doctors' treatment tailed to benelit me and 1 gradually grew worse until 1 was dually unable to do the least work. 1 then began usinw Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and from the very first I noted an improvement in my condition, The severity of my trouble gradually lessened, and by the time I hart taken eiejit boxes X wus again enjoying tlie best, of health, despite my 00 years, believe that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved my life, and would Strongly urge all sufferers to give th'-'iir. a trial, believing they will be great benefit." When your blood is poor and wu'.eiy, when your nerves are miring, when you suffer from head- dies and dizziness, when you are pale, languid and completely run down, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will promptly restore your ncalth by re- nowing and enriching the blood. They nre a, prompt and certain cure for all troubles having their origin in a poor or watery condition of the blood. But only the genuine cure null those bear the full name, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.''

The latest reports from the .North Star shows that work is progressing in a most favorable manner. At the present time tbere are about 75 men employed and the mine is shipping 40 tons .of pre daily to the smelter. As compared wiih the tonnage in some of tbe Boundary country mines, tbis shipment looks small, but then it must be taken into consideration that North Star values far exceed those of the Boundary mines. Forty tons of North Star ore. will probably show as much profit as 100 tons of the ore of tbat country. Therefore, tbe North Star shipments show up well for that property, and for the district. Jnst at this time, wheu so many mines are closed, it is a good thing for the district io have 3 property like the Star in active operation. Struck Bed Rock. Last Friday at the mining exchange at Spokane, the bears went after Sullivan and pounded it down to 5*4 bid, and 6 asked.

G VV. Hull, general manager of the Sullivan Mining anil Smelting company, has returned from the east, and was accompanied by Mr. Iilmendorf, a smelter expert from Denver, Col. The latter is now occupied with making a careful examination of the situation and preparing plans for pushing forward the smelter buildings at Marysville to an early completion. It is expected that within 90 days the smelter will be resdy to blow in. This means a great deal to this district, since it will givecheaper treatment and will make many properties that are now practically valualess, paying propositions. It means, also, that the Sullivan mine will soon be operated witb a full force of men, which will materially add to the business of the district.

What the valley needs is transportation, and it is to be hoped that either the C. P R. or Jim I Hill will build a road from Marysville west. J. R. DOWNES, Prop., CRANBROOK, B. C.

Lsavlng Rossland on Christmas we gathered up tbe other quotes until we left Winnipeg with 134 men to be known as C. Squadron, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th troops, second Canadian Mounted Rifles. As acting icrgeant major on this troop. I became personally acquainted with them all, so In arranging them Into troops our Rossland, Nelson and Cranbrooks recruits were allowed to remain together, forming the 4th troop of C. Tney acquitted themselves well at Halifax by leaving all the troops of the regiment at the ranges, 500, seven shoots each; 000 and 700 yards and seven at 000 ln one minute. Hicks, Uautli and the Trail soys proved splen lid shots, Our squadron was also 11 per cent ahead of the others. At Halifax tho weather proved a severe test, and about ten were unable to sail but j lined us here a week ago. Tbe trip on the boat was four rough days after leaving Halifax, then smooth water to Durban, where we arrived on ihe 25 February. Entraining at Durban on the hottest day of our experience, -e camped at Newcastle several weeks, drilling and lining our horses. The horses came thiough very well, but the .addles were failures, soou giving the lorses sore bicks and rendeilng them unlit for service. We were then march :d by Ma juba Hill to Bolkrust and Uien by train to Klerksdorp, the terminus of the railroad from Durban.

Find ne only a few cattle on the ridge, we fed the horses aud I was sent along the ridge with three men for picket duty. A few minutes later three Boen were noticed starting toward us. We picked up a Boer lad of fifteen in the brush, and so tbey felt safe and wo fell back to the troop. We got two of the three as our first captives, tbe others following gave ns no trouble and wben daylight came, no live Boers were in sight until S p. tn., when we captured our first convoy. The Boers followed our stragglers all day, disarming several and stripping some. However, they made up for it at Boscnbulb, to wbich I will have to jump, as time is flying. On March 30th, we left a base camp that had been established forty miles west of here, and on tbe following morning our scouts located about 300 Boers about four miles ahead. Our two guns and two pom-poms and abont 70 mounted men were rusbed on fourmlles to where our fight occurred and opened fire, scattering the bunch. Some 300 Baers hidden ln the brush on our right had been overlooked, and these firing from their saddles at 000 yards as they galloped past killed two and wounded four of the British mounted Infantry. I was sent with dispatches to Col. Evans after tbe regiment was all brought np with the exception of the rear guard. Our last wagon was ln tbe camp and camp fires started, when we noticed the Boers getting a gun ln position abont 2000 yards in our front and the open ridge ou the skyline for half a mile swarming wltb mounted Boers. We were at once formed into a rough line with the wagons and guns surrounding the horses, which were on rope lines, It was a sight worth seeing to see tbe Boers then come into action, a single horseman leading and others following at a steady gallop, nose to croup, until we were completely surrounded. The rltle firing soon commenced after that, and we learned from experience tbe meaning of a hailstorm of bullets for two hours or more, our fellows being wounded or going under at the rate ol one a minute. They seemed to have the range perfectly, the ground being a group of Boer farms all surveyed witb corn fields ready for cutting. Our fourth troop C lost Peters of Cranbrook a bright young engineer and mechanic, who was building all his castles on returning to Canada; Llezert, of the same place, w.s shot in the chest so close to his heart that his hospital doctor wondered at his escape. As the lad was led past me 1 asked him If he was battly hurt. His leply was to pull open bis shirt, showed the wound, and said "G.ve them hell for me, boys." The third wounded waa also a Cranbrook lad named Grafus, and he fought in line an hour after being shot, six feet on my right. He bat gone to England for an operation to have the bullet extracted. E squadron was acting rear guaid, and when the Boers closed in ou the rear Lieutenant Bruce Carruthers, a Royal Military College lad, 21 men wiih him. Tney had dismounted in a corn field and fought lt out uutll tne horses were killed, au their ammuul.lou gone, seven of the twenty- one liukd and un wounded—aot a bad showing fur cliy laus fnm Hamilton, Quelpn, Loudon, Toronto and Windsor, Outano. 'ihe Boers tried 10 oio.e ou us iw.ee, but nuy were cut up too baa* ly, auu uo amount ot ijonibocaing cud induce ihciu iu atuct us that night. Six men ur ihls (ear guard (not uf the 21) got lust and two da'.s later were »u Hummed by SO Boers. Tney got un a utioil ai,d f jugat five hours uutll two were killed uud all ammunition gone, i'hey were snipped and had a 54 mile barefoot tramp to Klerksdorp without grub. They were so exhausted that they were sent 10 the hospital for a uacnih. 1'ue following day a coiumn relieved us and we returned here for remounis, losing 200 udd horses iu fight ana drive. Since then flghilug is nut allowed until alter to-morrow, when lt Is to be peace or war. e^^^S^^^^^^^^t^^^^l^e^ < Marysville Hotel A.
