According to population, Slocan has made the best re cord in the province, and the quality of the men sent was equal to the quantity. All the recruits for the last contingent were mustered in ln one day, and Capt, Curtis ai.d Dr. Forin found their jiositions a sinecure, so fully did the men answer the neces at****** requirements. Thoso enlisting were: Henry Cleve.who is American born but a British subject. He has served one year with the colors, in thc DOtli Riflc-i uf Winnipeg. Harry wa-- manager here of A. David's tailor shop. John P, Aitchison is a Caned an, having been born in Simcoe county, Ontario. He had resided here for a mimber of yenrs and followed pros peeling and mining.

Jack was ono ofthe boys ofthe town, Laving resided here since a lad. Ho will he much inissc-d froni the band. W. Paul Wood was born under the American flag. He has resided here for two years and was also a mem- b. r of the band. Win. E. Weaver is an American citizen and has been raised in the saddle. He is a cousin of Bobby Allen's and has been following packiRg o* late. Charles E.

It eras a swell affair and passed off in a pleasing manner, A.

Vocal aud instrumental music were furnished in abundance, the toasts were drunk with a vim, and the guests of the evening were made, to feel that their patriotic actions in going to the from were much appreciated. The point was dwelt on of the American sub jects taking service under thc British Hag, testifying to the fact that blood la thicker th n water. Each of the guests made a manly reply, and thanked the band boys and citizens for the honor.* showed them. About. 11.Ik) Monday morning a telegram was received, telling tin* boys to leave on the noon train. The citizens at once determined on a send- off. At 1 o'clock a procession was formed, lead by II. E. Allen and W. Lee mounted and carrving large j British and American flags; uext came the band bays, then the coinin- gent on horseback, and behind them a host of citizens marching. They paraded ihe principal streets and wound up at the depot, where a general leave-taking was held. It was a touching scene, as nearly all the boys were practically raised here and familiarly known to all. As tho train pulled out three.rousing cheers Were given for the boys, whom every person feels confident will nobly and bravely uphold the honor of Canada and the Empire at the front. Slccin has had the reputation-of being somewhat lukewarm in its loyalty to King mid nountry, but the gallant showing she has made In sending out a dozen men all told to Africa must prove a refutation to that, as it is a prouder and better record than all tlie other towns in the Slocan put together have made.

The man with the gun finally broke thc silence by saying: "It's a bad business, your coining bere, young fellow; but since you bave come we'll bare to attend to you, I guess." Wltb that he made a motion to tbe otber men, and tbey speedily bound Jack hand and foot. "Wbat does this mean?' Warner demanded. "Ob, nothing much," the man with the gun replied. "About all tt means Is tbat you will bave to take a both In tbe Big spring, and anything tbat goes In there never comes out" Warner comprehended tbe man'a meaning now and. agbast wltb horror, cried: "Great Godl Do you mean to drown me?" "We mean to put you where yon won't never tell no tales," was tbe cool reply. Warner tried to collect bis reasoning faculties und speak calmly. "liefore going any further let's sit down and talk tbls matter over. There Is a misunderstanding," be began. The otber slowly shook bis bead. "I guess," be replied, "there ain't no misunderstanding-on our part, at least You made tbe mistake wben you camo bere to spy on us." "Right tbere you are wrong," Warner said.

After a pause tbe man wltb the gun replied: 'Tbnt may be so, but still I don't see tbot It changes matters any. You'd be roost sure to report on ua for tbe sake of the reward."

They out the cord about Waruer.'s legs and started forward Into the woods. But a woman, her face white uud anxious, bat hair flying wildly in tbe wind, barred their way. "Por God's sake, Llo," the man with the gun cried, "what's up?" "They're here!" she gasped.

A cold chill of horror went over Warner as be beard the water boiling aud bubbling down there In tbe dark. "Throw blm In, boys," Joke ssid coolly. The men began to push Warner forward. In his struggles tbe rope slipped from his arms.' Finding his bands free, he wrenched himself from thef grasp of one of tbe men and, striking blm a quick blow, sent blm reeling back toward tbe spring. There was a scream, a heavy splash In tbe water and tben alienee. Quickly following up bis advantage, be struggled to free himself from the otber man* and bad almost succeeded wben Jake gave him a push that sent him flying over the brink of the spring and clear to the opposite side, where he struck agalust tbe bank.

By a flash of lightning Jake saw him clinging to tbe wall and, witb an oath, started around to tbat side of tbe spring. In another flash Warner saw Jake with his gun raised to strike blm. At tbe same instant tbere was a pistol report, and in the darkness Warner felt a heavy body plunge past blm and beard a great splash in the water. Then, Just as bis fingers bad begun to relax their hold, a pair of strong hands grasped his wrists and saved him from sinking. For the first time In bis life he fainted.

The detectives, guided by the scream of the man who bad first met bis fate In the spring, had arrived Just tn time to give Jake to the spring, which no doubt bid much of his guilty post.

"Tho captain is sorry he only got it half full yesterday and thinks It would be bettor to have it filled to the top." Tho keg was accordingly held under the tap till it was full, and the fellow hoisted it on his shoulder, but ns ho was about to walk off with it ho was stopped by the clerk, who demanded payment for the spirits. "Hasn't our skipper a running account?" "Certainly not." "Bless me! 1 must hnvo none to tho wrong ihopl Thero Is nothing for It but to empty half i hs* keg back again."

I stepped out to find the snow four feet deep on ths level and still falling, but I tackled the job wltb proper ambition.

WHEAT-The wheat market in the America,, speculative centres have shown incre-i-M-d activity during the week, accompanied by a good deal of nervousness which at times resulted in some excitement. . The immediate cuuse of the increased interest and trading has undoubtedly been the apprehension of probable widespread deterioration of the winter wheat crop over the west and southwest. States owing to '.nek of sufjicienl rainfall. The rainfall over that country has been below the normal ever since the crop was planted and although there has been no long period recently without some rain, thu quantity received has been very inadequate, and unless copious rains coino soon the crop so circumstanced will |,o much short of a good yield. Thvio is, however, a large increase in the acreage of winter wheat and this is by some being depended on to compensate for the probable smaller yield. The spring wheat acreage in the United States is expected to show a fair decrease from last year, with a corresponding increase in the oats, corn and barley. There is no change to report this week as to crops in Euroke. They continue to come along well. A matter of much interest to all concerned in tlio wheat trade has this week transpired in the imposing ol u tax on wheat and Hour imported into the United Kingdom. 'J lie duty on wheat is 'id and on Bour fid per hundredweight of 112 pounds which is equal to about SVic per bushel of OOIhs. on wheat. The amount is probably too small to make any appreciable diltereiice to the trade in any respect. Manitoba wheat has advanced during the week in about Uie same proportion as in the American markets but the demand has been dull and trade by no means active. Most of Our exporters have not bein buying, us thoy sny it is impossible to pay the prices for export, and they evidently prefer to be. doing nothing in the meantime. Navigation at Fort William opeued last Saturday but shipping has not bwn so active during the week as was expected. Nevertheless the blockade has now been relieved and the movement of wheat from country points is increasing fast. In rrgnrd to prices at last report 71Vjc for 1 northern nnd 6SV2C for 2 northern were values in store Fort William spot, April or May delivery. These prices strengthened until on Thursday 73',^c 1 northern and 70"/2c 2 northern were paid, but yesterday with the duller appearance oi the American markets und the decline in prices there buyers have held back and closing prices could not be called better thnn 72*/-r; 1 northern, and 00*iic 2 northern, although for a small quantity of spot or en route Wheat wan1s*sl for a boat Vic better was offering.

Tortiueil by all Kinds of Pains and Aches He Tries Everything, but Fails to Find Relief Till a Friend Advises Him to Use Dodd's Kidney Dills—They Have made a Well Man of Him and He is Grateful. Ottawa, Ont., April 21-(Special.) Frank Charrand, a railway man, whose home is at 130 Little Chau- diere Street, has acknowledged that •Dodd's Kidney Dills have done more for him than anything '.-lse in tlio world has ever done. He says: "I suffered with backache and was always drowsy and had a very heavy feeling in my limbs. "1 had frequent severe headaches and more times very sharp pains in the top of my head, which gave me much annoyance in my work., • "My fingers would cramp and 1 would have an uneasiness in my legs and occasional pains in the loins. "I was dizzy in spells and short of breath. If I ate a hearty meal 1 would have a pain in my leit side. My appetite would sometimes be very good and sometimes I couldn't eat anything. "I had a constant soreness and tenderness over the spine and tired feeling in the region of my kidneys. T suffered quite a little with a dragging heavy feeling across the loins. "Dodd's Kidney Dills were recommended to me by a friend of mine who had been cured, and 1 began to use them. "Almost from tlie start I began to feel tho wonderful improvement, which continued as the treatment proceeded, till the unpleasant symptoms had one by one entirely disappeared . "Dodd's Kidney Dills have worked a _wonderful cure in my case and I cannot speak too highly of this great and good remedy." What Dodd's Kidney Pills have done sfor Mr. Charrand they have done for thousands of others, and they'll do the same for you if you give them a chance. There are many railway men in Canada to-day who find Dodd's Kidney Dills Indispensable. They are the railway man's surest and best lYicnd. The constant vibration on trains and engines is very hard on the kidneys and Dodd's Kidney Dills make these organs well and able to resist disease. DEATH OF A NOTED MIDCET.

The following correspondence, ending In true Irish fashion, actually passed between two men in England some years ago : "Mr. Thompson presents his compliments to Mr. Simpson, and begs to request that he will keep his doggs from trespassing on his grounds." "Mr. Simpson presents his compliments to Mr. Thompson and begs to suggest that in future he should not spell 'dogs' with two gee*3." "Mr. Thompson's respects to Mr. Simpson nnd will feel obliged if he will ndsi the letter 'e' to the last word in the note just received, so as to represent Mr. Simpson and lady." "Mr. Simpson returns Mr. Thompson's note unopened, the impertinence it contains being only equalled by its vulgarity." There* never was, and never will bo. a universal panacea, in one remedy, for all ills to which flesh is heir—the very naturo of many curatives being sucli that were the germs of other and differently seated diseases rooted in the system of the patient— what would relieve one ill in tarn would aggravate the other. We have, however, in Quinine Wine, wben obtainable in a sound, unadulterated state, a remedy for many and grievous ills. By its gradual and judicious use the frailest systems are led into convalescence and strength by the influence which Quinine exerts on nature's own restoratives. It relieves the drooping spirits of those with whom a chionio state of morbid despondency and lack of interest in life is a disease, and, by tranquilizing the nerves, disposes to sound and refreshing sleep—imparts vigor to the "ction of the blood, which, being el insulated, courses throughout the veins, strengthening tho healthy animal functions of the system, thereby making activity a necessary result, strengthening the frame, and giving life to tho digestive organs, which naturally demand increased substance—res-alt, improved appetite.

NOTICE. .passed Attorney General Kbcrts inserted an amendment making the bill applicable immediately upon the dissolution ofthe house. The Dominion government* lu s made a pronounced move in thcrigln direction, in that it has introduced legislation compelling the arbitration of all disputes on railways between employers and employees, thereby ensuring immunity from interruption in thc lines of public communicatior. -The-bill unfortunately is not likely .to be passed this session, being permitted to stand over. Having admitted thc efficacy of compulsory ar- bitratioR -for one branch of industry, it is surprising the government can net forego its prejudices and make tbe law applicable to labor generally. Ultimately tha industrial situation will exact the law, and it might as well be given now. After all, the eastern mosSbacks stem to be much more alive to beneficial legislation thap the fossils ef the B.C. legislature.
