The city waa shocked Saturday mornin'*' by the news that a miner had been frozen to death on Bond holder hill, about six miles from Slocan. Last Monday J. Stevens, M. Walls, Samuel Hockaday and W. G. Thomas, all of Nelson, started oat for the Bondholder mine, they having takea a lease on the property. Hav- ing to break a trail to tha mine from the Springer road, thev found traveling pretty hard, and after 2J hems of it and not being more than half way there, Walla decided to go'back. After another four hours' struggle, Thomas played out, so the men decided to build a fire and rest. Then the three again pushed on, bnt had not gone far till Stevens got bis foot frozen. They then camped for the night in a clump of bushes. | |As soon as daylight came, the men flushed on for the mine, reaching it landily. Wednesday they aet out for the road to bring up supplies, meeting two men on the way who h d come up to see if tliey were all right. Tho three men took heavy packs and started back. Beforo going far they misted the trail and became hopelessly lost Thev wandered around in all directions, and to add to their troubles a heavy blizzard sprung up. The men were again forced to camp nut fur the night, digging holes in the snow fjr protection from the storm. Hockaday l> came delirious from hi* s inYrin-*n, but in the morning attempted to follow his cmpa-i ions to the in ine. All were well nigh exhausted, their doilies being wet throngh and l>ocauseof their beiiig unable to build a Arc Uockadav bt-ciinic plaved out and his companions started to pack him. Seeing that it meant another night in the snow if they persisted in this and probtble death fur all, Stevens and riiom.ts decided to leave Hockaday in a sheltei-sd position and strike out fur the mine f >r food and dry clothes This thev did aud returned as quickly as possible with n sled for Hockadar. Sad to say, however, they missed him and it was not till Saturday morning that thev found where they had left him. Poor Uockadav was beyond all help, having died from exposure. Word was sen* into the city as seen as possible and Dr. Forin, coroner, notified. Early Sunday morning a number of men went up to the Bondholder and brought the bed v to town. Stevens and Thomas underwent terrible hardship and it is a marvel they, too, did not perish. It is the first instance in the history or the Springer creek camp thai such a fatality has occurred, tlmuirh an Italian named Angclo lost his life from exposure on Ten Mile some years ago. Monday morning Dr. Forin summoned a jury at the hospital, to view the remains of Hockaday and to hold an inquest A verdict was given in accordance with the above. The body was shipped to Nelson f.-r interment. Is reached by any trail or road that runs into the Town. Do not go past its door when you are dry, weary or hungry. A. EU TEETER, Proprietor.

Pittsburg, Pa., capital is being Interested iu a northwestern mining I roposiiion that Is attracting considerable attention. The matter has been under consideration for some time, W. D. Wrighter, of Sjpokane, being tho moving spirit. Thst property is the Snowshoo, a silver-lead and gold producing mine in the Mon- tana-Kootenai district. Originally the mine was owned and operated by an English corporation, but the owners rocently sold out to the Bustler Mining and Milling Co.,the principal managers of which are Mr. Wrighter and I). P. Bowers, a prominent mining expert. Pittsburg interests purchasing stock nro to have representation on the board-of directors and the mine is to be operated immediately. It is now equipped with a fine mill of 200 tons capacity, operated by steam or wnter power, nnd practically a complete outfit The main tunnel is 1700 feet long and runs 800 feet under the mountain surface. An Immense amount uf ore is now blocked out and will be milled as soon ns operations begin again. Mr. Wrighter Is prominently Identified witli the Iron Horse, in South Africa.

C1TT COUNCII,. hut Meeting of the Old Board ain Hon* day Nlgbt. Last meeting of the old city council waa held Monday night, every member being present, which was, in itself, a noted event. Accounts presented: T. McNeish & Co., coal oil, $4.25; H. Guest, stationery, U3.80; McCallum & Co., coal, ■16.65; J. A. Foley, salary, $75; J.W.

The other bills were then passed by the finance committee and also ordered Eaid, thus winding up the financial usinessfor the term. Clerk Foley made a report of his tour of inspection of the city under the provisions of the fire limits bylaw. He stated that in a number of instances it was impossible to get stovepipes 18 inches away from ceilings or sidcwalls, and recommended that these sliould be protected by tin coverings. After discussion the report was accepted and the recommendation pass ed on to the new council. A lengthy report was read from H. D. Curtis, auditor, upon tho condition ofthe clerk's and treasurer's books. lie criticized pretty freely the system of bookkeeping in force, noting that some of thc vouchers weie not duly receipted for, and that other errors and mixtures existed. He found, however, that the clerk's and treasurer's books tallied to a cent. Mr Curtis gave a deficit for the term of $141.58. The alrterm.inic hoard ts-*ok up the report and disens-sed it fully, mutual .explanations following upon the ifius touch* d en. Tiie mayoreon- cloded the remarks by savins: that it Wns s.'it is''net 'iv to note that the hooks of Mr. Foley and Mr. Bolderston tallied, that the accounts were correct, and that e ver j thing was in honest shape. Council adjourned. ers, fearless in upholding what he thought was right. These chivalrous traits inherited from a big-hearted mother, and ki-pt up to tho mark by an equally high-minded wife!

Out in India under a boiling sun, working for John Taylor & Sons, a household word to miners in West Britain, they workcl together as miner and manager There all work is done bv contract with native labor, as caste prohibited natives from raining. The white miners are in con stant temptation to bribes of whiskey and presents from the contractors, to induce them to put in a good word to the manager. The white miners live together in a bungalow, having a common mess. One Incident showed Hockadav's fearlessness for his principles. His wife in Devon sent him some wearing apparel of her own making. They were of the old fashioned mako and were not as sty 1 ish as those made by the native tailors. The other miners laughed when the new garments were donned, though they wore tho same pattern at home. Sam's Jana sent them,and he valued his wife's loving thought of him, so lis wore them, and fought every mother's son who criticised -a worthy tribute in a little thing to tho noble British women who have mothered the British empire, not forgetting the United States.

Like every other event in the city, sides were drawn, one side supporting Mayor York for reelection, nnd the other Aid. Bradshaw for the post tion,the latter entering the field only on Thursday last. There has been more or less feeling aroused over the contest, but it will soon subside. At the nominations on Monday, A. York and ll. A. Bradshaw were pnt np for the mayoralty. The former lodged a protest against Iiis opponent's qualifications. The old government assessment"' roll was the basis upon which the nominations were taken, and Mr. York maintained Mr. Bradshaw did not reach the necessary assessable property limit. However.

MONTFORT Copyright. 1901 by Thomas P. Motstfort CHAPTER XIII. ONK MKI.VIN FEARED. Turner knew Hint Melvln was not fjolnj* to Beckett's Mill. He was as well assured of Hint fact as he would have been luni Melvln told him so. He knew, on the contrary, that he wns going to HI Jenkins' place. Why he was going lie did not know further than thnt he knew the ne**v stranger hnd something to do with lt. The Important Information possessed by n little coterie ot Beckett's Mill concerning Melvln had not renched Jonathan Turner. In fiict, and for a wonder, it bad not spread beyond the row persons to whom Sam Morgan had related it that night at Hleks' store. The reason It. had not spread, and the only reason doubtless, was attributable to illeks. With an eye single to business he had seen a likely chance to turn a few honest dollars only If they would all keep quiet nnd patiently await the development of events. Taking the others fully Into his confidence, he hnd Bald: "If that feller's done somethln dret- ful for which he hns to hide out from the law—which, of course, he has, or he wouldn't 'a' said so—why, It Stan's to reason thnr'H be n reward out for him, If it ain't out nlready. Now, most giner'ly when a reward Is offered that n-wny circulars arc sent out to all the postoffices round whnr the feller Is likely to go, givln the amount of the reward, the feller's nnme an description an tellln whnr lie's wanted an whnt he's wanted for." "Jest so," Pnp Sampson had agreed. "I've seed them papers n-stlckln up In the postofflce here lots of times." "Now." Hicks resumed, "my plan Is for us all jest to lay low nn keep our mouths shet, not sayln a word of tbls to nnry a livln soul, an wait to see If one of them circulars doiFt come along here putty soon 'bout Mr. Melvln. Then when tbe circular does come we'll Jest nab Mr. Man an rake In thnt rewnrd." They nil saw the wisdom of Hicks' plnn and readily agreed to it, and for n while they kept sneredly to tbelr agreement. Tlie teniptutlon to talk was great, It must be admitted, but thnt rewnrd wns n greater temptation yet. So It had come about thnt Turner was still Ignorant of everything concerning Melvin and ln forming his opinions was acting nltogethcr on mere surmises. He hnd never chnnged from his first formed opinion thnt tbere wns something hark of Melvln that was not exactly right, but he hnd never succeeded In getting beyond that point He readily conceived the idea that there was a connecting link somewhere between Melvln and Walte, but wbnt that link wns he could not tell. He bad no lilcn whether the link wae one of friendship or enmity, but be was Inclined to the belief thnt It wae the former. In fact, be Inbored under the Impression tbnt tbe two young men had been associated together In tho commission of a crime or were leagued together for the purpose of committing some crime nt n Inter dnte. He did uot place their crime or contemplated crime beyond robbery, however, but he fixed It at robbery on a large scale. When Melvln rode away from the houso that night, Turner believed he had gone to meet and confer with Walte, but he was partially mistaken. Melvln had gone to Jenkins' place, and It wns on account of Walte that be bad gone, but If his surmises were correct Walte was one of the last men In the world he would care to meet or with whom be would seek a conference. As Melvln bad told Mrs. Banks, be had taken the life of a human being. In the heat of a quarrel be bad shot down and Instantly killed a young man named Marchand. He Justified himself for the act on thc ground tbat he had acted lu self defense, and lu a way bts claim wns true. Just at tbe time of the killing It wns merely a question of who could lire first, aud If Melvin bad not killed he would have been killed. But, on thc other band, Melvln was .responsible for thc misunderstanding, for Marchand was seeking to avenge tbe honor of his sister, whom Melvin had betrayed. While Melvln might justify bis act, he knew public opinion nor the courts would Justify It, so be fled from the scene to escape arrest Having met Louisa Bunks and learned to love her while sbe was a girl at school, his first thought when be began his flight was to go where he could be near her. That she bad mnrrled mattered little to him, . except to the extent thnt It removed her out of his wuy, for he bad no very high regnrd for marrlnge nor n very strongly developed sense of honor. His plan was to Induce ber to elope with him. If possible, and, though she had refused to marry him when she waa freo to do so, he hnd no dotibt of bis ability to Influence her now since It bad biKH-mo known to him Unit sho had learned to regret the step she bad taken when ste had declined him for Blm Bunks. If she would elope with blm, tliey would go to some out of tho world ptnoi* out wpst niwl tin*'" lone tnemseives to every one who nntl ever known them, as Well as to the law. In all his planning Melvin did not lose sight of tbe fact that the mini he bad killed bad-a younger brother living nnd thnt the brother wns n iletur* mined, ds'spi'i'iito cbui'tctcr who wus not likely to wait ror the slow process of law to right his wrongs. From the first Melvin hail feared Robert Marchand more-than he feared the law, and dny and night lie lind been haunted wilh a dread thut that man would hunt him out and kill him. He had covered bis flight well, he knew, but he was also aware of the tireless energy and set determination or young Marchand, nud this, added to the anxiety a criminal always experiences, kept him in a continual state of uneasiness. His purpose ln going to Jenkins' waa to discover, if he could, witbout making his own presence known, whether the man giving his name as Walte had stopped there aud whether or not lt was Robert Marchand. The wuy he had planned to do this wns very simple nud nt the same time comparatively safe to himself. He proposed to tie his horse somewhere In the woods near Jenkins' house, then creep cautiously forward under tbe cover of the fences and shrubbery until he reached a position commanding a view of thc house and Us surroundings. He was well aware that It was a universal custom among the people of Possum Ridge to sit out lu their front yards after supper on hot summer evenings, and be felt assured that he would find Jenkins and Walte so sitting If tbe latter was there. In this way he could satisfy himself ns to whether Wnlte wns the mnn ho feared, then stenl softly away ngnin. And If thnt man should prove to be Robert Mnrchand tbere wns but one thing for Melvln to do, and that was to lice from tbe section. He bad that all planned out too. He would return to Turner's for bis tblngs, claiming he had received a letter calling him back home, and he would go tbat night There would be no waiting for the morrow, not an hour's delay, If Robert Marchand was there. However, be was saved all the trouble of putting bis plans Into execution, for ns be passed along the road a mile from bis destination a voice hailed him from tbe woods, and, looking around, he saw old III Jenkins sitting on a log. "My Lord, young feller," Jenkins said, "but I'm pow'ful glad to Bee you shore. I been settln here for two mortal hours, od I got to thlnkin thar wa'n't nobody never goln to come along." "Why bave you been sitting there all tbat time?" Melvln asked. "'Cause I couldn't do notbln else. Reckon I was do!*- It for fun?" "Why cnn't you do anything else?" "'Cause I can't git n-loose from this dad burned log, an I ain't big enough to walk off with It" "Are you fast to the log?" "Waal, sorter, 1 guess. Leastwise I been kinder under that impression the lnsl two hours." Melvln rode over near the old mnn. "How did you happen to get fust to the log?" he nsked. "Why, I wns lixln to split It tip for rails," Jenkins replied, "an I'd drove a wedge In, startln a right smart crack In one eend. Feelln sort of tired, 1 'lowed I'd set down on lhe log lo rest, an like a durned fool I set right on that crack. I'd been settln thar a Utile hit when the fust tblng I knowed that mis* 'able sneakln wedge flew out. an the crock closed up, a-ketcbln the sent of my pants an a-holdin me thar bo fast an tight that I couldn't move." Melvln laughed. The situation was bo ludicrous that be couldn't help ll. He would bave laughed If Jenkins had been dying. Tbere was notblng funny In the situation to old III. however, nnd wben Melvln laughed It made him anfc'ry. "Reckon you think It's domed smart to stand thar that n way an laugh like a blame fool at a poor, helpless, Buffer- lu feller crllter, but I bet If I wns oul of this I'd make you laugh out of t'oth er side of your mouth." "1 can't help laughing." Melvln replied. "The Idea of u man getting Into such a pickle as thnt! It's the most ridiculous thing I ever knew." "Waal, you'd Boon bear of somethln a doggone sight wuss ridiculous," Jen* kins said, "If I was jest loose from here "/ ain't help lauahlno," ilclvtn rcvtlcd for 'bout a minute. But. say. dad burn your onery bide, nln't you goln to do nothln but sian' thar nn net n fool n-lniighln at me? Ain't you goiu to help me out?" "Couldn't you get loose In nny wny?" "You reckon If I could I'd 'a' set here all this time waltln for some durned Idiot to come along an help me?" "Did you try to get loose?" "Did I try to get Iooko? (Jeeinenettyl Did I try?

Tlse ll.ssiil of Ilia King, Without a < rnivu, Will Klgsire on Tbem— M. l.sisil.- Fuels* tis.- livssltfsier. According to recent arrangements some- of tho new British postage stamps' will be issued early in the Now Year. The original intention was to put them on sale at the principal postoffices on ths*. King's birthday. This, however, was found to be impossible, a sufficient number of sheets not being ready at the time. The designs of the new stamps havo been prepared by Mr. Emile Kucha, a nculptor, some of whoso work wns exhibited at last yetir's Academy. As with tho Victorian stamps, tho head of the Sovereign will figure on each stamp. Merely the head of the King is shown, and ho hus been drawn bareheaded without the crown. This i.s a departure from tlio accepted custom when ' or lato Majesty was on tho throne, Queen Victoria always being portrayed as wearing a small crown or diadem. King Edward's choice, however, is in accordance With the general practlcs of reigning Kings and Emperors, thougk the young Queen of Holland follows the example of Queen Victoria. The design of tho stumps has undergone changes also In mutters of detail, and it has been decided to abundon some of the colors formerly in use. The halfpenny stamps will be green, as hitherto, but the design that Mr. Emile Fuchs has prepared is of a more elaborate character than that with which the public is familiar, and the effect is to give the stamp the appearance of being in a green of a deeper shade. In the penny stamp the existing mauve color will no longer be used. Its placo will be taken by stamps of a dull crimson, a color which has been found by experiment to bo the most suitable for the purposes for which it is required. It is in contemplation, in fact, to use the color for other stamps of higher valuo, the price being plainly indicated in figures to prevent confusion. But this is a matter that is understood to be still under consideration. At Dickens' Grave—A Hoy's Tribute. On Christmas Eve last year a lit-- tie fellow, apparently about 10 years Of age, was seen to enter Westminster Abbey shortly before evening prayers. Going straight up the main aisle towards Poets' Corner with a directness that showed his knowledge of tho position by custom, he stood bareheaded and reverently over the grave of Charles Dickens. Then, looking around in evident doubt as to whether his action might givo offence to the authorities, he produced a tiny bunch of violets with an envelope attached, and, kneeling down, placed his tribute tenderly upon- the tombstone. The littlo fellow hovered affectionately round the spot for a few moments, and, glancing round to sea that his tribute remained undisturbed, went with a happy, satisfied look ansl took his place for the service. Curiosity led a newspaper, man, who Happened to be present at the time, to examine thc childish offering, and this wus what he found written In half-formed characters on the envelope attached to the unassuming violets: "For it is good to he children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder wus a child Himself."—Dickens' "Christmas Carol." singular Transmission of Sound. A member of the faculty of Moscow Imperial Technical School recently discovered that a microphone attached to an electric arc lamp by wire will transmit sounds through the medium of another electric arc lamp. Repeated experiments were made in which tho two lamps were separated by a thick wall, Thc inventor read in a low voice a lecture on his discovery nnd his words, spoken to the microphone, were comfortably audible in thc next room. With characteristic carelessness tho Russian newspapers failed to state whether the lamps were burning, but it is probable that this is to bo assumed. "Piss Money." In days long ago pins were M expensive that husbands gave their wivos certain allowances just for the purpose of the costly luxury.

Tliousunsls Who Went Oat Oats' to AtlcsssI Itclliclous Services—A Uissl- Is'isl Wbo Heoonsuieis*jI>-sl the Skipping Hope. In looking over n file ef old Connecticut newspapers I came across the following excerpt from na English treatise m* "Diet und Regimen" that warmed the cockles of my heart: "The skipping rope, a toy which Is dis- carded by the young girl when entering n premature womanhood, hut which ought to be [nuked upon us a necessary article in every boudoir or a private room oeeu- pis*sl by a woman of civilized life uud civ- ilizesl liuliits, is one of the best if not the very best kiud of gymnastic exercise that I know. It exercises uluisist every muscle in the body. There are few women who do not neglect exercise. Thousands upon thousands of English women never cross the thresholds ot their houses oftenor tliun once u week, and then i*. i» to attend to the public worship of diplr Maker. Ami it is seldom that in town the distance to the church or olntpel is such ns to occupy more thuu ten minutes in going thither." It may be presumed that this extract is intendi'sl to draw the attention of American Women not only to their neglect of physical exercise, hut also to tbe superiority of the skipping rope ns au implement to assist in stirring their sluggish circulation. From the lips of an old lady who was in her early girlhood nt the time this treatise was written (1835) I obtained the following graphic description of one article of dress worn by women in every station of life at thut period: "I was a vigorous!, romping girl of thirteen, who hated restruiut of any kind, above all thnt of dress, nnd- was commonly in disgrace because of my careless habits in regard to clothes. However, my older sister, Martha, was determined to bind me into a proper shape with 'stays.' "One Sunday, in spite of protestations, I was laced into that cruel instrument of torture and started on a two mile walk to 'meeting.' Did you ever see a pair of stays?' " From a drawer in a mahogany chest the old lady drew out a pair of old fashioned corsets beautifully made out of a kind of buckram, covered with fine white linen. Small gussets were set ia the front, audit wns stitched betweeb the materials. Thc opening wus in (he back, where ivory or horn eyelets were provided for the lacings. The front was re-enforced with a sort of pocket two mclies wide, open at the top for the insertion of the "busk" or "board," which was literally ft piece of (bin board, a "straight front" such as we never dreamed of. The stays measured sixteen inches around the waist. "Such agony as I endured before that long morning service was over!" continued my old friend as sbe carefully replaced the stays. "Noon came at last, bowever, and when I wcut out to eat my cookies I rushed behind the meeting house, jerked out that board und, after breaking it in two, threw it away. I was soundly whipped for doing It, but children iu those days expected whippings. "When I wns tifteeii or sixteen years old, my sister aud I used to help eueh other laee our stays on Kuuihiy. and we did not take tbem off until the uext Saturday night." An examination of the fashion books of that period confirms this story of tight lacing. The imagination conjures a comical spectacle when it pictures those tortured matrons, with their wasp waist*;. tiny enps with Sowers "drooping in tlie neck" and voluminuos skirts "gatigi-d with one or two rows half on Inch apart with care that they hang evenly nnd well," solemnly skipping the rope in tho privacy of their boudoirs. The prevalence of recipes for lotions and pnstes for thc complexion and the universal use of paints and powders leads to the conclusion thnt there were defects ■to be covered that might have been removed by the use of the skipping rope or other exercise assisted by the lavish use of soap and water. The girl or womnn of this generation, moviug about with the glorious freedom made possible by the short skirts, loose waist nud stout shoes, is as different physically from lhe woman of preceding generations as the bird that enjoys the full freedom of the heavens is different from the one that is caged aud whose wings are clipped. The ten minute wulk taken once a week tn "prunella shoes" has lengthened to a ten mile walk taken in shoes her brother might wenr. Thc skipping rope wielded iu tlie privacy of ber boudoir has bsiea replaced by the golf stick wielded in tho open nir. The sixteen inch waist has expanded to twenty-five inches. It is within the power of this fine creature to overcome tier Inheritance of weak nerves nud the tenils'iiey to hysteria, the natural revolt of nature against tight lacing, thin shoes and link of physical culture. It Is also within her power if she will cultivate repose as ussisluouHly as she cultivate* out of door exercise to eliminate "nerves" end "hysteria" from her vocabulary, nud the chilslri'ii of future generatlnus might search with curiosity for tbe meaning of those obsolete Words In old dictionaries that hnve found *i place by the side of the "stys" and llis- "Trrntlse on Diet and Iti'gims'is" in the nnciciit slis'st sif drawers.—Agues E.

It is fiiction of the scalp, gentle and regular, that acts as a tonic. Brushing tho hnir will uot affect the scalp, and the old saying .that "you cannot brush the Bcnlp too much or the hair too little" is to be needed. Hair needs nir as well as brushing.

Women and the Rifle. The p'uturesiiue old Surrey town of Purnhnin. l'ngluud, has taken a step to- ward encouraging mnrksinnuship among women.

He was associated wltb Robert Fulton, the practical inventor of tbe steamboat, who introduced panoramas into Paris ln 1700, but resigned iu favor of Thayer perhaps iu order to give bis attention to nlways to the surface. The friend who meets us with, "Oh, I'm so annoyed, I must tell you how I've been worried!" and such like excl.i.:ialin:.s is not half so welcome as the one who conies to us telling only of the bright happenings, who seems to give rnther thnn to draw from us.

Out in a country of large things Pvcq such au apple orchard as that owned and managed by Mrs. Laura A. Alderman of Hurley, 8. I*., stands out in the first rank. It contains l.'ll) acres in full bearing of the finest fruit that thc latitude affords. The laud wns taken up in 1S7(! nnd was gradually converted to the busi- I ness of fruit raising. A scourge of grass- hoppers which nearly destroyed all other crops in South Dakota left the country nearly poverty stricken for n time, nnd fruit dealers suffered with the rest. But pluck and energy savesl the day for Mrs. Alileruian,' nnd for the past fifteen or twenty years her work has beeu a coutiu- uous success.

Suffersd With That Dread Malady for Fifteen Years—Treatid by Five Different Doctors—Literally Rescued From Death by Dodd's Kidney Pills. Middleton, P. E. I., Dec. 30.—Mr. M. II. Conntak, the well known blaiUs-inith of this place, known all over the Island as the man' whom Dodd's Kidney Pills savsd from death as by a miracle has often been inter- views-d regarding his case and is ever ready to supply the facts. "I had been a victim of kidm-y trouble for fifteen years before 1 took Dodd's Kidney Pills," said Ml. Con- nick in a rcent conversation. "Did you know it was Bright's Disease, .Mr. Connick ?" "•"Well, one day a customer and I found it out I was startled, I can tell you. In those days, you know, Bright's Disease was incurable. I went to five different doctors. They could do no good. Finally my wife and I went to-ajether to one who told us right out there was no use taking our money. I could not be cured. I felt that it was all over." "How did you come to take Dodd's Kidney Pills?" "Well, one day a customer and c were talking'of the death of a neighbor, tuid my customer said he was quite sure if he had taken Dodd's Dodd's Kidney Pills he would have bien cured. That sot me thinking. For *ihe lost sipc yevurs I had been fon-ed to hire a man to do my work. Well, I began to take Dodd's Kidney Pills, and before I had finished the third box I was again at work. I ran shoe a horse as well today as ever 1 could in my life." "Do you mean to say that three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills cured you of Bright's Disease of fifteen years standing?" "Yes, sir, that's exactly what I mean. I was so stiff and sore I could not stoop to pick up anything— couldn't put on my shoes. If my wife was here she wosild tell more about Dodd's Kidney Pills than I con." Mr. Connick is now 57 years old and the picture of health and stivngth. T-.nth and Hepoae.

Mr. Dobell, a member of tha ■Dominion cabinet without portfolio, *was killed on Saturday, by being -thrown from his horse. The. accident occurred at Folkestone, England, where deceased had gone for the ben *flt of his health. Much sorrow is expressed over the sad event. The provincial legislature has been summoned to meet for the dispatch of business on February 20th. This ■disposes of the cry that Premier Duns- jnnir was afraid to face the house and ■wonld not call the members together .till tbe last moment.; What will h p- pen after the, bouse assembles is a .subject for spirited speculation, the -odds .being in favor of an early dissolution. -•• • is i i i ■•-.»)'.-ess Tha Vancouver Province has just . sprung a real surprise of its own on ,' tie public, to the effect that the Lib era Is mean to absorb tbe Labor party througliout the province. Interested Ll berals are said to be poshing the scheme for all they aro worth. There is just one little weak spot iii tlie proposition—the Labor side of it has not been heard.* Bet two to one they tell lhe Liberals to go chase themselves. Tbe Labor party intend to do a little skirmishing in the next provincial election, nnd the Liberals had better . "go 'way back aad sit down." Premier Dunsmuir hns come out of . his hole-and given tbe public a four .column letter, explanatory of his past .actions and outlining the intentions of his government. He denies Joe Martin's controlling influences and holds to it that all parties should , work together for fce best interests of the provinoe, which was rapidly (becoming the most important section ■ofthe Dominion. In his outline ofthe government's programme, Premier J Dunsmuir advocates to a limited extent the state ownership of railways , .and promises a fair and just redistri- , bution bill at the approach ing session •of the legislature. Ha also favors tbe re-adjustment of the two per cent . tax on tbe mining Indu try.and aims .at a lessening of railway freight ' rates throughout the province. Thc encouragement of the shipbuilding industry, control ofthe fisheries, and various other matters are touched on. Mr. Dunsmuir puts up a strong talk and now it remiins to bt seen what ' the legislators will do abont it. Managing Director Frechcvlle of | tbe Le Roi Mining Co. has submitted c his report on the situation at Rossland and Northport to tho stockholders. In it he goes rough shod for Barney McDonald and Bela Kadlsh, ex- {managers for the company at the respective places named. He remarks, "My investigation shows that thero has been very great extravagance and loose management, resulting in .unwarranted expenditures aad high working costs; also that under proper control your property would have ^pald dividends from the start." After .other kindred strietnres, in which ho 'faccuses Bela Kadlsh of being nothing /Short ofa common boodler, Mr. Freeh jovllle says Of tbe labor troubles between tbe company and its employees . "I am of tho opinion that the strike was mainly brought about by ths injudicious and arbitrary action ot Bela Kadlsh." Now, who's the liar? Certainly not the Miner's Union, for 4hus, afer many days,' have their ^•artiest assertions been verified. DRILL POINTS. Rossland has developed a fourth' case of smallpox. P. W.
