COMMITTED SUICIDE Victoria Merchant Talked Cheer- / fully Before His Crime. Vancouver, June 24.���A. A. Selfe, formerly in business in Victoria, committed suicide in a down town hotel yesterday.

VIRUS BEGINS TO TAKE HOLD TELEPHONE DECISION IS URGENT Company Will Soon Be Applying for a Franchise. The Aldermen will have to Grant it Unless the Citizens Petition the Council to Take the Company' Assets Over. RATS ARE GETTING SCARCE AROUND THE DOCKS Several of the Rodents Found in the Last Stages of Disease and Decrepitude ��� Another Application to be Made. That the rate virus has begun to reach the spot where it will do good work is evidenced by several instances that have been brought to the attention of Mr. McMaster at the dock. The Grand Trunk wharf men say there are not nearly as many rats to be seen as formerly, and that two or three have been noticed that were slow in their movements and evidently weak. One of these was brought to Mr. McMaster. It was all scaled on the back, and evidently in an advanced stage of the disease which is said to be produced by the virus. One rat in that shape will contaminate all the passages through which he travels and infect all the rats he may come into contact with. At Morrow's butcher shop two rats were discovered in a dying condition and both of these had scales and scabs on the bodies. From a cottage in which the virus was placed, a badly diseased rodent was picked up. These are three instances from different points in which have come evidence that the virus is working. It is stated that it takes from eight to fourteen days for the virus to operate, and these first evidences seem a proof of the fact. Mr. McMaster has given the Grand Trunk rodents two or three treatments already. He thinks that a general distribution of the virus should again be made in the course of the next week or two. Clearing Way for Kitchener London, June 24.���(Special)��� General Nicholson has been appointed to a command in Ireland. This leaves the way clear for Lord Kirchener to be appointed chief of imperial staff. There appears to be considerable indifference among the people dbout singing the telephone petition. It may be that the situation is not thoroughly understood. The Prince Rupert Telephone company was organized and allowed to place poles, string wires, and do other work on the streets on condition that they offer the whole outfit to the city as soon as the council was organized. The shareholders in the company were not to make a cent of profit. The idea was merely to shut out the B. C. Telephone company and save the franchise for the city. i The franchise has been saved. The citizens who subscribed for stock have put up $10,000 in cash. They have spent much more than that on the work. $5,000 is now about due. The citizens must petition the council to take the assets of the Telephone Co. They must sign the petition and get it before the council at once. If they do not the company will apply to the council for a franchise and the aldermen will have no alternative but to grant it. Once the franchise is granted the citizens will have nothing more to say. The telephone will be in the hands of a private company who will operate it for profit. The president of the Board of Trade is circulating a petition. There are also copies at the city hall, McCaffery & Gibbons', Lynch Bros', and G. R. Naden and Co's. This is the critical time. It is a case of municipal ownership or corporation monopoly. Those who own stock in the company will in a short time apply for ar charter and they will get it unless the citizens petition the Council otherwise.

J�������������������������������������������������� Rain Ensures Big Harvest Winnipeg, June 24.���(Special)���The rain is general all through the Manitoba and Alberta wheat growing districts, and there is no question now but that there will be a bumper crop. It was yesterday afternoon that acting Mayor Mobley and some of the aldermen were made aware of the presence in the city of the University Commission. No time was lost then, however, in getting a couple of the aldermen together and meeting the distinguished educationalists at the G. T. P. Inn where tbey were making their headquarters. The acting mayor extended a welcome on the wharf of the council and citizens and expressed the hope that the visitors would not feel a lack of enthusiasm on the part of Prince Rupert people. The commissioners replied that they came into town quietly and wished to perform their labors quietly without any receptions or deputations. Tlfey espressed pleasure however at meeting the acting mayor and his Council colleagues and congratulated them upon the rapid progress and the wonderful development of their city. In speaking of the visit of the commissioners during the afternoon one of the city fathers stated that he did not anticipate that Prince Rupert had anv chance whatever of being chosen. The city itself is not for enough advanced and the country tributary thereto was barely opened up yet, although the "xt few years would see wonderful changes, the like of which history does not relate. At the same time he believed that Victoria would be the favored spot if the university was to be placed on the coast at all.

Hilditch asked the council last night if it was not nearly, time to take steps to stop merchants and others leaving debris such as boxes, excelsior, straw and paper loose on the streets to blow around and be a constant danger of fire. He also wished to know if it was the intention to permit cows, hogs, horses, chickens etc., to be kept in the thickly populated districts or to allow them to run at large. All these things must be regulated sooner or later but the aldermen did hot wish to take those matters up until such time as the proper by-laws were ready for introduction. They will all be regulated properly. Aldershot, June 23.���(Special)���During his experimental flights with an army aeroplane today Captain Cody was dashed to the ground and fatally injured.

Friday, June 24 SHORT-SIGHTED POLICY. The S. S. Prince Rupert on her first trip last week brought probably the largest passenger list that ever came into this city off one boat. She also had a large quantity of local freight, much of which was secured through the loyalty of the local merchants who are trying to help the G. T. P. work up a profitable trade. Large as the passenger list was the merchants have not been rushed with orders for supplies from the Prince Rupert steward. The city of Prince Rupert can furnish the attraction for the passenger trade and may have the privilege of being the chief source of supply for the freight department, but Seattle and Vancouver are evidently to be the base of supplies. This may be considered good business, but it does not take a very far-sighted man to see the value of the G. T. P. boats assisting to build up local trade by purchasing their supplies here, even at slightly advanced prices. If everyone adopted the principle of purchasing abroad the G. T. P. boats would soon have no freight to carry. There would be no merchants and no city. This is rather a bad example to set when the city needs home patronage.

BRANDON PLAYERS COMING. Will Play Here for Nine Nights Starting Next Thursday A pleasant announcement is the one that Brandon's Players, a premier dramatic organization, will appear in the Empress Theatre, Prince Rupert starting Thursday, June 30. They will present some of the latest and best eastern successes, opening Thursday night with "The Squaw Man" which had such a great run in London and New York. The play is one of the most realistic of all western dramas and tells a story absolutely true to life with no -ex* aggeration or unreal climaxes or sensations. All the other plays in the repertoire of the Brandon Company are the best the New York market affords, and Prince Rupert playgoers are to be congratulated on a company of such merit being brought to the city.
