Ottawa to support Laurier. In both ridings the Socialists lost their deposits, Baker, in Kootenay, making I the, stronger run. Galliher's majority Is simply immense, approaching thej KKJO mark, while Hoss, in Yale, had a hard light. Contrary to expectation, Rossland went Liberal, and Nelson gave Galliher a bouncing majority. Almost all of the Conservative points went Liberal. It was a beautiful day for the contest and much spirit was evinced locally. A small vote was polled here, I 117 ballots being cast. Three Baker j votes were spoiled and 1 Galliher. Thej Socialists rustled their votes in good | style and led the poll. The Ottawa mine and the str.

Fourteen "tla-n Lost- Their Lives by u Ona Kxploalnn In foul Mine. Morrissey was visited by an appalling disaster on Friday, when 14 men lost their lives from an explosion in mine No. 1, known as the Carbonado, of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co. The killed are: William Jenkins, Lewis Carter, Peter Kennv. A. Johnson, P. Dovle, VV. Piatt, M.'Uustick, A. Preb- nick, V. Venerka, M. Tomseaeky, A. Broiulse, J. Brondse, J. Sucky, A. Greeiiman. The explosion occurred just at noon. Fifteen men were working in that part of the mine and only one escaped. He was D. Dareev, a driver, who was on his way out when the explosion occurred. He was thrown vio lcntly down, hut succeeded iu reaching the mouth of tho entry and was saved, In view of the great force exerted by the explosion, which appears to have been in the nature of a blowout, the mine is not damaged to as great an extent as might have been expected. Mine Manager Simisler and Supt. Drennan.who came from Fernie Immediately upon lieing notified of the explosion, were on the ground al! afternoon directing the work of recovering the bodies. This is the second serious explosion to have occurred at Morrissey, the previous one taking place a year ago, wheu four men lost their lives. There is one pathetic incident in connection with the disaster. The family of W. Jenkins, one of the victims, had only arrived from the old country a week ago, and the wife and four children arc heartbroken. The Drill: $2 per year M. D. GENERAL HOSPITAL SLOCAN, BC. Med. Supt., J.

Hanningtou. of Nelson, was the only s* Baker and he put up a straight talk for Mr. Mackintosh. The speaker labored under great difficulties, in that he was far from being a well man. and several times he had to take hla scat,'finally delivering much of his address while sitting. A strong .stimulant was procured for him and he eventually recovered his strength, concluding his remarks with his wonted vigor and force. Mr. Hanniugton's plucky con- duet won the meeting, which closed with three rousing cheers fur tbe Conservative candidate.

Kuti in sight of Celebrated Cody and .inker luxe. On Tuesday «*ui important appeal case was decided by the full court of the province. Docksteader vs Clark was a case whieh, under different names, has been before the courts for many years. It has superceded the Callahan vs Copeland case for practically the same property, the original Cody and Joker claims. These were restaked, Clark calling his claini the Wild Hose, and Docksteader naming his the Colonial. S. S. Taylor, for Docksteader, argued tlmt the No. I stake of the Wild Hose claim was on crown granted land, as was also the largest portion of the location line. Both contentions have lieen upheld. Originally the case was tried at Nelson before Mr. Justice Irving, who decided in favor of Docksteader. Judgment is affirmed on appeal, Mr. Justice Martin dissenting. The Colonial is held to be valid and the Wild Rose nnil and void. Fourteen similar suitsiare pending in connection with portions of the same ground, and all are practically decided by this judgment. The disputed ground is situated near Cody. .Settler* for Canadn. A big influx of Frenchmen to British Columbia is predicted by A. Fox, of Montreal, who is in Victoria inquiring alxiut land. He says 26,000 people will come to Canada as soon as the arrangements which he is now making are carried out. This emigration, which is being operated through some big agencies iu Franco, is being stimulated by recent differences between the government of France and the Vatican, which devout Catholics regard as persecution. Fox says most ol the emigrants are agriculturists and vine dressers, and he has opened negotiations for a large tract of land in Okanagan valley, which will be devoted to vineyards, and where he estimates COOO of them will settle. The tigriculturists will be settled on the ranching lands in East Kootenay. No less than 12.IKK) are all ready to come. Cabinet Shuffle lu Ontarlat.

Ab Illostrntlon That Gives Some Idea of Its Llttleneaa. How large is an atom? "Perhaps the simplest though not the most exact way of arriving ut a rough estimate uf the kIzo of atoms is liy measuring the thickness of a soup bubble film where it is as thin as possible just before It bursts," says u writer. "Sueh a Mini if composed of aloms must be something like a pebble wall. Now, a pebble wall would not stand if it were not several pebbles thick, and if we bad reason to suppose that lt was about u dozen pebbles thick we could easily make an es tiinate of the size of a pebble by measuring tbe thickness of the wall. That i.s the case with the thinnest region of n soap film. It is found to bave a very definite uniform thickness. It is the thinnest thing known, and by i 'lined optical means its thickness can be accurately measured. It must contain not less than something like a dozen atoms iu its thickness, and yet it is only about the twenty-millionth of an inch iu thickness by direct measurer ment. So that the diameter of an atom comes out between one two-hundredth- millionth of an inch. In other words, from about 200,000.000 to 300.000.000 of atoms can lie edge to edge in a linear inch." BLADES OF GRASS. The Reason Ther Grow So Abundantly Thrni,nini,il the World. Grasses are widely diffused throughout tbe world in order to provide abundantly for the sustenance of a very large portion of the animal king- dom. "Grasses," nays Pa ley, "are nature's care. Cattle feed upon their leaves, ! birds upon their smaller seeds, men upon the larger, for our bread corn is a grass, Tbey thrive under treatment by which other plants are destroyed. '■ Tbe more their leaves are consumed the more tbelr roots Increase, nnd the more they aro trampled upon the thick- , er they grow. Many that seem dead and dry renew their verduro In the spring. On lofty mountains, wbere summer beats nre not suttlcleiit to I ripen tbe seeds, grasses abound which nre viviparous and conseiiuently able to propagate themselves witbout seed." It is interesting to note In tbls connection that animals at liberty In their [ pasture to range and choose attack the leaves and leave unharmed the stalks which support the reproductive flowers. A CURIOUS ANIMAL. The .loll*.-111.,• Amoeba Has Neither Limbs, it,mill Nor Stoiunrh. The amoeba, probably the simplest form of animal life, bas neither limbs, moutb, oor stomach. Its whole anatomy consists of a simple cell of the jelly-like material called protoplasm. It moves witb a flowing motion. Just as a drop of glycerin might slide on a slightly inclined plate. It feeds by flowing over and Ingulfing and minute animal or vegetable organism that may be In lis path. When It lias digested Its food it passes on ami leaves (lie residue behind. The amoeba CtO be found on the surface of the mud lit the botlom of almost any stagnant pod ami is hardly visible WitbOUt B inlCrOSCOpe, It reproduces irs kind by simply dividing into two when it bas reached a certain size. Occasionally iwo amoeba merge Into one, which breaks up Into many much smaller ones. In Hmcs of drought the amoeba Incloses itself in n hard cyst and wails until Its home ls wet again. I.lvnl Too Fast. "Poor fellow, be Is <|iilte broken down, and the doctor suys that bis condition is due to fast living." "Fast living?" "Yes; you see lie Is n traveling man, and be was obliged lo eat so many dining car meals nml lose su much sleep in sleepers that bis constitution gave way." A NEW IDEA. Tonic Treatment for Indigestion— Kew Strength for the Stomach From Xefr, Rich lied lilood. Tlio Tonic Treatment—that is tho latest nnd only ecientific cure for indigestion. All the leading doctors of Europe nnd America are using it with sensational success. N6 more purgatives, no more pepsin, no more potent foods, no more long diet lists saying "Tbou shalt not eat this or thnt." No nioTO of all this—nothing, in fact, but plenty of new, pure rich red blood to tone the liver and give •he stomach strength for its work. That is the Tonic Treatment for Indigestion. The tonic treatment is based CS the new idea that drugs which digest the food for the stomach really weaken its powers through disuse. Thc digestive organs can never do their work properly until they are strong enough to do it for themselves. Tho only thing that can give the stomach and tho liver new strength is good blood—and the only thing that can actually make new blood is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Tale People. Tliey have long been known as the greatest blood-building tonic in the world, and all the highest medical authorities agree that tho one scientific cure for indigestion is the Tonic Treatment. The marvellous success of the treatment has been proved in every corner of the Dominion. One of tho latest witnesses is Mr. Joseph ltochctte, St. Jerome, Que., who snys: "I simply hated the thought of food. Of course I had to force myself to ent, but afterwards I always suffered with dull, heavy pains in the stomach. I seemed to be bilious as well, and this caused severe headaches, which further aggravated my unfortunate position. I grew pale, fell away in weight and the troublo seemed to be undermining my whole constitution. I tried several remedies, but without success; a doctor whom I consulted advised absolute rest, but this was out of tho question, ns I had to work for my living. Fortunately for me, one of my friends advised me to use Dr. Williams' Tink Pills, and I -Tedded to do so. After taking the pills for several weeks thcro was a decided improvement in my condition. Not only was my digestion better, h\i\ my genernl health improved in every way. New blood seemed to be coursing through my veins, bringing new health and strength every day. I took eight boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Tills altogether, and those who see mo now would never know I hnd sen an unwell dny in my life. I owo my splendid health to these pills, anjj strongly advise overy dyspeptic or weak porson to lose no time in taking thom." Mr. Pochette's statement ls a strung tribute to the Tonic Treatment. Dr. Willinms' I'ink Pills cured him because tbey actually made now rich blood for bim. Theso pills go right down to the root of thc trouble in the blood nnd curo thnt. The now bin,„| the.v make carries healing health nml strength to every part of the body. Thut i.s the new Tonic Treatment, and the highest medical authorities now recommend this t realm,'lit for all tho Common ailments such ns ana,'inin, headaches, backaches, rheumatism, sciatica, nou- rolgia, nervousness, dyspepsia and general weakness. These nre all Caused by bad blood nnil therefore are all cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Vou can got these pills from any medlcino dealer or by mail at SOo a box, or six boxes for |2.60 by writing to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., lirockvillo, Ont. WILD BILL'S FIRST FIGHT. The Serin,in. "I certainly ilid enjoy your sermon," Said the bard case, who seldom attended cburcb, "Indeed!" replied Itov. Mr. Tawker. "And which part did you enjoy tbe mosi?" "I guess lt was tbe part wbere I dreamed I bad a million dollurs." A Judge fiiit 1 a party Of lawyers were discussing vail >us maxims when one of the lawyers said: "Well, Judge, do yon really believe honesty is the best policy?" "I'll answer that question by n story," replied ibe Judge. "When I was practicing law one day In lhe Interests of a client 1 said to a mun: " 'Do you ow-ii u largo black dog with white spots'/' •lio looked at me qulzslcally and tben said: " 'Oh, no. That dog Is merely n stray canine that occasionally strolls into my yard, You're tbe tax assessor, aren't you'/' " 'No. I'm only a lawyer.

Of COUrSS (here's uotli- lug to pay. Good morning.'" He Waa Wounded, bnt Killed Six of the McKnudlns Cans. Wild Bill, whose real name was James Hlckok, first came west iu 1807 and drove an ox team on the plains for Majors & Russell in 1S00. He subsequently engaged himself to tbe overland stage company as stock tender nnd was put in charge of a new stage station on Rock creek, near the old Mc- Kandlas station, whicb was generally known as Robbers' Roost. Tbls was the headquarters for the McKandlas gang, a crowd that bad held together since tbe Missouri-Kansas border ruffian days and generally bad things their own way. A man named Kicklin, and n number one stagehand, was the superintendent. He tried to buy out the McKandlas station; but, failing in tbis, be built a new one near by, putting young Hickok in charge. Up to tbat time he bad uever experienced trouble witb any one and was not likely to have friction, especially witb tbe old station keeper, McKandlas, or his men. In tbe winter of 1800-01 McKandlas and his nephew and four other men passed by the new station on horseback, leading an old man who was afoot. Tbey bad a rope around tbe old fellow's neck, and occasionally they would take a few turns around the born of tbe saddle, make a run on the rope and jerk tho old man down and drag bim on the ground until he was nearly dead. The ouly spite they had against him was that be was a North Methodist preacher. If Wild Bill was anything be was an abolitionist and free soiler and loyal to the United JStntes. The McKandlas crowd was planning to mnke a raid on several stations to secure tbe stock and go south. They told young Hlckok they would take the stock. He replied that be would be there. Wben they returned late ln the evening two stopped at tbe corral, two went to tbe front nnd two to the back door of tbe cabin or hut. Hickok told tbem he would shoot the first man who took down tbe bars of the corral. The elder McKandlas lired at Hickok, but missed bim. Hickok returned the tire witb a rifle and shot McKandlas in tlie heart. The next shot from Hickok killed the nephew, and the two fell at tiie front door. Just then the two ot the buck door opened fire. One shot from a double barreled gun lodged seven full grown buckshot Into Hick- Ok'S right side and lu east, two of which entered his lungs. The two meu who Stopped at the corral came to the assistance of the two men ot the house. Hickok was then in a hand to bund light with four men. He killed throe of tbem in tlie bouse and wounded tho other so badly tbat be died on tbe prairie. STICHOMETRY. A P"-.'.. < ii nl n in That \ever Attained Any Very, Kilen.lie l>n»r**.

Every now nud then somo traveler tells of a two bended snake which exists in Egypt, and whenever the uur- rator hasn't seen tbe snake himself, be is more or less disposed to assert that thero really is1 a snake with two beads in Egypt, because he has been told nbout it by many reliable persons. Indeed, sometimes a traveler who bas actually caught a glimpse of the snake is likely to declare that it truly is two headed, for the serpent certainly appears to bo so wben seen only by chance. • . . It ls only when the snake ls actually taken up and examined closely tbat tbe truth is revealed. i'he tw'o headed snako Is not a poisonous serpent. It is only a boa constrictor, and it is fairly common, llut lt is so secretive that lUhldes away in its sandy burrows almost constantly. It is strangely formed in so fur that its tail, instead of tapering off to a point as the tails of other snakes do, widens out into a bludgeon shape, thus making it look so utterly unlike n tail that it is almost impossible to think it is anything but a bead when tho snake is seen for only a moment. To add to the deception, jugglers catch these boas and paint jaws and eyes on the tail. Tbe work is so carefully done that only a trained observer can distinguish the real head from the false. Thus the story of the two beaded snnke has obtained wide circulation, and has even crept into the books of otberwiao accurate writers. Cut the second "heaii" is ouly a tail after all.—Exchange.

NOVEMBER 25, 1904. KI'ITCIHI.VI. OKOFP1NUH. The dominion parliament will be called together for the transaction of business early in January. The struggle is over and victory rests with the strongest. Let discord give place to harmony and all work together for the upbuilding of town and district. Hon. Mr. Aylesworth will retire from political life and Laurier must find new material for his cabiuet. Aylesworth's defeat iu Durham weighs heavily on his soul. No important changes in the tariff will be made at the next session of the dominion parliament. When the session is closed an inquiry into the ■working of the tariff is promised. All pre-election promises have been put over the dump. Liurier's victory is very popular iu Portland, Maine, where the psople assert their town, as the terminus of the Grand Trunk, will double in size and wealth by the building of the G.T.P. Canadian public money will build up a foreign city at tbe expense of home ports. Things are not going well with the Intercolonial railway, government operation, since Blair dropped out, being very much of a failure. For the three months ended September ilO.the receipts of the road were $1,850,485 aud the expenses $2,052,4(55. In the same period last year a profit of $569.- 50 was earned. Yet, despite this great loss, the government will parallel their owu railway by the Grand Trunk Pacific. To their honor be it stated that a number of candidates are appearing in the Quebec elections on behalf of the Conservative party, despite the decision of their weak-kneed leaders not to participate. One has already been elected by acclamation and there are excellent chances of others being returned at the polls. In eutering the contest the Conservative candidates «*ire doing so rather by individual action than as a concerted movement, having been actuated by the laudable desire to save the party from an everlasting reproach of cowardice. Hon. Mr. Parent's trickery is uot to pass Unpunished, as a large section of the Liberals feel resentful to him, and numerous anti-Parent candidates arc- in the field. When the legislature meets Parent's opponents state they will have sufficient strength to force him to retire. The wicked shall not prosper. Tuesday's elections in Kootenay and Yale-Cariboo for the dominion house resulted, as expected, in a victory for the Liberals, and they have their desire granted in that British Columbia returns a full complement of SUpporten of Blr Wilfrid Laurier. As in Nova Scotia, a clean sweep has Iwn made. In Kootenay. W. A. Galliher will have a majority of clou to 1000, possessing a clear lead over the combined strength of his two opponent*, Over in Yale the Lilierals have H narrow margin, and it has taken the full power of the party leaders and the Influence of Lauder's victory on the 3rd to gain Hie ascendancy. The .Socialist candidate in each constituency lost his deposit, the small vote recorded marking the cleavage of Socialism and Labor. The Conservatives fought an uphill fight and they have nothing to be ashamed of. Whatever mistakes have been mado iu management or organization can now lie mercifully overlooked nnd profit gained by the experience. Had the elections lieen on the .'hcl, there would have lieon a much better chance, and Yale-Cariboo at least would havo had # Conservative member, DRILL POINTS. Pay up your subscription. Just one month to Christmas. For first-class bread go to J. H Pinchbeck's. Rosebery is slated for a new smelter next summer. The resident vote on Ten Mile went solid Socialist.

Besides a full council board, a new school trustee will Ik; required at the first of the year. Postmaster McVannel installed a new safe Friday.

Pat McGuire will spend the winter at the Red Fox with George Henderson and Neil Gething. The first real snowstorm of the season struck town on Saturday. The flurry did not stay long.
