PROSPEROUS CANADA The Nelson Oraad Jary it Complaining of Fernie Justice. Cranbrook Herald- Re Gaol—We vidted the gaol and found tbirty-two prisoner*, about half of whom came from Fernie, in Bast Kootenay, and although we were unable in tbe time at our disposal, and tbe distance of Fernie from Nelson, to gather exact facts, we are of tbe opinion tbat a condition of thing* exists in the local just ic- lary in Fernie, to warrant an inveatiga- tion by the attorney general'a department without delay. The foregoing I* ■ clause which ap pear* in tbe presentment of tbe grand jury at the Nelson assizes, which was made on Thursday afternoon. Just wbat it mean* is left largely to Ibe imagination of tbe reader, a* everything in tbe way of details ia lacking, but upon it* face it would appear tbat tbe manner in which "justice" haa been administer, ed in Fernie ha* been so unsatisfactory at least to the members of tbe grand jury is a matter wbicb can only be determined by a duly constituted commission of enquiry, but now that the matter has been thus passed upon by the Grand jury, it becomes the obvious duty of tbe attorney general, in justice to tbe men whose reputations are clouded by lhe insinuations contained in the above paragraph, to see tbat tbe commission for tbe enquiry issues without delay. If, as it bas been intimated in Nelson, some money judiciously placed, is a more potent factor in determining cases in Fernie than any otber, the sooner tbe fact is proven and the guilty punished, the better. But It must not be assumed, without trial, that the local justiciary is blameworthy. The stories of monetary influence may be wholly without foundation, and even the aeemingly inconsistent sentences, whicb it is said caused the members of tbe Nelson grand jury sucb concern, may be capable of satisfactory explanation wben all of the cir* cumstances surrounding them are properly understood. Tbe above is from tbe last issue of the Feroie Free Press. It is news to this part of Ihe district and The Herald is at a loss to understand Ihe meaning of tbe declaration made by the grand jury at Nelaon. uYet, in thi* case, aa in the matter of tbe license commissioners, we believe the best way and tbe fairest way is to bold an early enquiry. It ia not right to leave any officer's reputation under a cloud, and a rigid inveat jgatiou places every innocent man right before the public. Tbe Herald coincides with tbe Free Press on this point. Right is right at all times, and on all occasions. British Coloabia Budget Brltiah Columbia will atart the next financial year with a net deficiency of •104,000. The cauae of thia la that tke revenue for the current year ia leaa by •3*18,000 than that of the previoua year. With the wldeat area of any province of the Dominion, the new revenue from lands for the next year I* estimated at only 940,000, though an equal amount of collections from previous sales Is expected to be made. Timber licenses and royalties are expected to yield only •80,000, which is •S.OOO less than last year; timber leases, however, are down forjlio.000, of which one-half is for arrears. Mining receipts are put down at 15,060, and the regrettable feature is that, ln thi?, tbe province of mines, that sun represents a decline of •35,000 on last year. Besides the tax oa mines there Is a mineral tax, measured by tbe product, which will produce tbis current year, (85,000. This Is exclusive of coal, oa which there Is a royalty, and which is expected to yield 1130,000, owing largely to the development of tbe Crow's Nest Mine, from which the Minister expects 873,000, at Its present rate of production. Real property is expected to yield •130,000 aod personal property 880,000; the fact tbat of this latter some three-foartbs Is for arrears, shows serious delay. The wild land tax Is •50,000. to which f75,- 000 of arrears have to be added. This is nothing unusual; where tbe land yields nothing, tbe taxes must be paid out of some otber source. Tbe Income tax, |40,000, shows an estimated Increase of »5,ooo. From fisheries only •35,000 Is expected. Tke province expects to receive 815,000 as Ita proportion of the licenses. It will be noticed that several of these Items are different from those found ln otber provinces. The expenditure Is going back, and yet there Is tbe deficiency above named. In 19oo tke ezpendltar* reached 8233,* 000; laat year It was only •172,577. Tbe public debt Is 8e,407,7.->7. Tbe province has A5,ooo,ooo acres of land, of which only about one-tenth has been alienated. Tbe province has presented Ottawa a case for better terms; tbere has been one conference on the subject and Sir Wilfrid Hurler has promised another. The Minister of finance puts down the nominal aasets of tbe province at »14,442,0O0, but ln this be Includes public buildings aod schoo.s, which, aa tbey cannot be realized, are not properly assets; only something the pro- vlnce can do without, could sell without being Inconvenienced, is properly a provincial asset. But as tbey are only pnt down aa nominal assets that may ba allowable. Paul L.

BRITISH COLUMBIA'S TURN WILL COME English and Americas Papers Speak of Canada'* Great Progress, We bave often said ln tbese pages that tbe eyes of the monled world are looking wltb favor 00 British Columbia and Indeed on the whole of the Dominion. Tbese facta are most emphatically born out by tbe newspapers of both England and the United States. Tbe London, England, Dally Mail says iu tbe course of a long editorial.. ''We bave seen the American boom bnt now we bave a Canadian boom of such magnitude that lt ia bard to aay where It will end." While, perhaps, British Columbia may be said to be laboring under a temporary depression, it Is very satisfactory to note the great, we might say the unprecedented prosperity, enjoyed by the rest of Canada, and although the English papers call It a boom, with all due defence to them, we say lt la not bnt that lt Is the outcome of the country's natural resources. The customs returns for the month of April 1603 showed an Increase of 8513.731 00 over April 1901. The New York Journal commenting on the Influx of Americans Into the Canadian north-west prints signed letters from former citizens of tbe Northwestern States, wbo declare tbat they are entirely satisfied. The laws are just, tbe taxation Is light, and churches and schools are being rapidly built, Many Americans, Indeed, wbo bave taken farms are growing rich, ani even firm-laborers And steady employment at good wages. Moreover, ln Western Canada there la hardly a trace of tbat narrow provincialism even yet to be fonud occasionally tn Eastern Canada, which fondly cherishes the old hatreds engendered by the war of the Revolution. The people feel little Interest ln old shibboleths, and there Is absolutely ne prejudice against Americana or American Ideas. On tbe contrary, all of whatever nationality, are welcomed on condition tbat they will take a band In tbe Industrial development of the country. Apparently the sleeping Empire beyond la awaking to a realization of Ita great possibilities." Prosperity brings prosperity and we bave said as the greater part of tbe Dominion Is coming to the front among tbe nations, with leaps and bonnds. British Columbia will not be left behind long, and therefore Eaat Kootenav, a country with so many and varied resources as abe bas witbln her bounds Is sure to make a good country and 1 prosperous country, If tbere Is a depression iu the province jnst now it la not without causes. Tbe low price of lead has been blamed for a good deal of it but lt Is not only this. A stable government Is a thing tbat British Columbia has been without for a long time and capital la alwaya "shy" of a country who's government Is not stable. Of course this last can and will be reminded and lt rests with the people of British Colombia to remedy it. All countries bave their ups and downs aud British Columbia is no exception bat tbe time Is coming and coming quickly when our province will be able to hold up ber head among the confederated provinces and say she Is as well govern' ed as any of tbem.

"Yes, ii is very fortunate Cor me," I replied, without looking up, but through tho machinery I could sec looks of disapproval on the mother's face.

If anything was to happen, he would precipitate it. He walked directly nt tbe pair. "Hold un there!" said a gruff voice, and one of the men drew something from his pocket that glistened as he raised It. Edgar swung May back. "What's that?" he said. "Throw up your hands," growled the gruff man, oud tbe barrel of a revolver was thrust against Edgar's breast. "Go through him, Jim. Hustle," The second man pulled open the victim's cont.

At tbe same instant Edgar struck up tbe weapon with his left arm and thrust his right elbow witb all tbe force be could command into the second man's face. There was a sharp report, and Edgar felt something like the sear of a hot iron across his temple. The lingers of his left band caught the ruilian's wrist, and witb bis right hand he struck him n crushing blow in tbe face. The second mnn, dazed for a rnomeut, sprang forward oud tried to grapple with Edgar from behind, but the lotter, fighting desperately for possession of tbe revolver, bad whirled his man half round, nnd for n second or two it was impossible to grasp him. * "Joe!" gasped the first rullian. The man who had been guarding Mny and wbo bad paused irresolutely wben the revolver report rang out sprang forward with a short billy in his hand. At the same moment a second report was heard, and the first ruffian dropped to bis knees, choked, gasped nml pitched forward. The second mnn stood aghast, but tbo third man, with nn oath, sprang nt Edgar. The latter stepped buck and met tbe rush with a revolver shot. The fellow's arm dropped to his side, nnd he roared witb pain. At this the second mnn turned into the street and rnn swiftly down the roadway. The third man followed him, but much more slowly. It had all happened so quickly—the halt, tbe struggle, the discomfiture of tbe highwaymen—that the impulse to scream had not come to Mny. She had stood on the lower step ond watched the light with suspended breath and parted lips. Now she ran forward. "Ob, Edgar," she cried, "are you hurt?" He wos panting n little and for a moment could not nnswer. "I guess not," he laughed. He put his hand to his bleeding head. "Seems to tie n scratch or sumething up bere. (irent luck, wnsn't It?"

People say "extra good" or "extra cheap" lu order to Intensify "good" and "cheap." But "extra" has no such force. So far from Intensifying a given condition, It denies it by indicnting that the thing bo described lies outside the sphere or quality named. Thus, "extra judicial" does not mean more than ordinarily judicial, as though a judge had dredged bis conscience In giving an opinion, but outside of Judicial and therefore Incapable of being judged at all ln the prescribed way. A grievous fault Is the use of "Identify" in a phrase like Ibis, "He Is Identified with the antivacelnatlon movement." A man can only. Identify blm- ij self with another man or set of men. Ho can Identify himself with the opponents of vaccination—and even here the word carries a shade of meaning of Its own, distinguishing the phrase from such n one as "lie Joined the opponents of vaccination." One should not spenk of "high" or "low" caliber; but, remembering the meaning of "caliber," one should npply to It only such adjectives as "great" or "small." It Is wrong to speak of a "consensus of oplnlou." The word "consensus" Itself means an agreement of thought and should stand nloiie.-Academy. She (after the waltz) — Arc you fond of (lancing.

Liniments and Other Old Fashioned Remedies Will Not Cure—The Rheumatic Taint Must Be He- 1 moved From the Blood. j Tlie• lingering tortures of i-heumn- tistn nre too well known to need description, but it is not so well known that medical science now recognizes that the primary cause of rheumatism is impure or impoverished bicod. Tlie result is that hundreds of suller- ers apply external remedies which cannot possibly cure the trouble. The only thing that will really cure iheu- mutism is an internal medicine that will enrich the blood and free it from rheumatic taint. The surest, i|uick- cst and most effective way to do this is to take Dr. Williams''I'ink J.'JjIs, which nre proved to have cured thousands of cases of rheumatism, muny [of tbem nfter all oilier medicines had failed.

Peevishness and Sleeplessness a Sure Sign That Baby is Unwell. When babies are restless, cross, or peevish it is the surest possible sign of illness. Well babies sleep soundly aad nre cheerful and playful when awake. Wben baby is cross too many mothers give so-called "soothing" medicines, which contain opiates that deaden but do not remove the trouble. What is Wanted is a medicine thnt will go right to the root of the trouble and make baby sleep well, eat well and be cheerful in a natural wny. Such a medicine is Baby's Own Tablets* which are sold under un absolute guarantee that they contain neither opiates nor otber harmful drugs. All mothers wbo have used them for thoir little ones speak of them in terms of wannest praise. Mrs. Albert Young, Stratfordt snys : "My baby, who is now five months old, bus always been very cross and peevish. She was very constipated and sleepless. She was a thin, delicate looking child, and cried nearly all tbo time. I did not know whnt to do with her. I tried several medicines, but they did her no good, A friend who bad used Baby's Own Tablets advised mo to try them. I hid so, und since using th'-m baby has been quite well, her bowels are regular, and she has grown plump and good uutured. 1 am delighted with tbo Tablets and keep them on bund all the time, nnd whenever baby gets cross nnd feverish I Rive ber a tablet and she is all right." Those Tablets are tbe best medicine iu thu world for simple fevers, colic,diarrhoea, all stomach troubles, constipation nnd other minor ailments of little ones. They nro for children of nil nges, and dissolved in water, or crushed to a powder may be given with absolute snfety to the youngest infnnt.

In Wyoming I onco saw a mnn who had boen tarred nnd feathered, and. nl- tbougli ho fully deserved the discipline, I could not help pitying him. Hardened tar Is very hurd to remove from the skin, nnd when feathers are added It forms n kind of cement that sticks closer thnn a brother. As soon ns the lar sets the victim's suffering begins. It contracts ns it cools, and every one of the little veins en the body Is pulled, causing lhe most exquisite agon;. The perspiration Is entirely stopped, nnd unless the tnr Is removed death Is certain to ensue. But tho removal Is no easy (ask nud requires several days. The tar cannot bo softened by the npplicntlon of bent nnd must be peeled off bit by bit, sweet oil being used to make the process less painful. Tbe Irritation to Ihe skin Is very grent, ns the hairs ennnot be disengaged, but must bo pulled out or cut off. No man can lie cleaned of tar lu n single day, ns the pain of the operation would be too excruciating for endurance, and until litis Is done lie lias to Stiller from a pain like thai of ten thousand pin pricks.
