Teeter and Madden Declare They will Itedgn From Beard. After skipping a week the city council got down to business again Monday night. Present: Mayor McNeish, Aid. Madden. Smith and Teeter. Finaucocommittee reported in favor of bills amounting to $4.50. Ordered paid. Bills, ip tlu* Smith funeral and totaling |3, again came up, the mayor inquiring if tliey had been referred to the goverttae t. Pi an i' i om mittee replied that Recorder Chiistle had promised to look a ter the bills, but later said the gov- •inm.'iit would have nothing to do with them for the man was buried. Mayor McNeish stated it was a bad precedent to establish/the city paying funeral expenses of outsiders dying in the hospital. The bill was small, but it was uot right to ask the city to pay it. . Aid. Teeter said it was an emergency case and the city had to act. Mayor He found fault for the bills coming back to the council without referring them first tothe government for an opinion as to liability. Aid. Teeter- The reply from the government officials so far was not satisfactory. He and Aid. Madden had Ix-eu a number of times to Mr. Christie, but the latter had taken no further .step in the matter. Aid. Smith The board of health contracted the bills and the city must pay them, though perhaps they might afterwards be got back from the government. What he wanted to kuow was where would the city stand il similar cases arose. Mayor—Ths ciuneil are doing business lor the people, and they had no right to expend mm *y without just cause. The soone: the council knew th?ir position regarding tiie bills, the better for all. Aid. Tester I consstehtibuily lu- lieve the bills should be paid by the council, and then bill the (jfoyernmaut for them. Aid. Smith moved payment of the ( bills aud that tlie citv solicitor write [ the government explaining the circumstances. Seconded by Aid. Madden and carried. H. D. Curtis presented a bill for $30 for compiling list of delinquent lands for tax side, as authorized by the city council in February. The mayor explained that since then new lists had to be drawn up, bringing iu all arrears of taxes up to end of HK33. Recent amendments to the statute*permitted this, but the first list onlv dealt with the arrears up to the end of 1902. The resolution of the council passed in February was read, giving tii.- collector 6 per cent if the sale went on, or 930 if it didn't mature on that list. The new list would give the collector .") per cent. Aid. Teeter mpved that the bill and the resolution under which payment was claimed be referred to the city solicitor for au opinion. Seconded by Aid. Madden. The resolution was put and carried by the council, but promptly vetoed by the mayor, who he'd it out of order. There was a resolution authorizing the bill and then was no sense in referring the matter to the solicitor. Trouble Immediately ensued, Aid. Teeter tendering his resignation from the board and withdrawing from tin- hall, his example being followed by Aid. Madden. They wanted no more of it if the mayor was to be the whole thing. A deadly calm prevailed after the explosion, but after a while the major started writing out notices calling a meeting for the next night, in order to arrange for part payment of the creek work. A few minutes later, however, the two aldermen returned, to permit the, meeting closing in proper form. Aid. Maddeu stated he was going to quit. Aid, Teeter -Tho mayor had no right, in his opinion, to veto such a resolution. It had been paused merely to obtain information. If so iiiiu-h authority wore vested iu the mnyor to override the wishes of the representatives of the people, then he could not consistently sit on the board. It was necessary for the mayor to tnke certain authority at certain times, if within reason. If tho mavor took such stops us ho had done, ne would have to insist on his resignation. Mayor The proper course was for the bill to havo gone to the finance com mittee, who could have sent it to the solicitor, but it was not right to send it direct to him. In this he may Ih- wrong, but he deemed the committee had [lower to send the bill to the solicitor. When there was a plain resolution ou the book, how was the solicitor to puss judgment thereon. 12.00 PER ANNUM. He urged the aldermen to think the matter over and give the bill to the finance committee. If they did not deem it right it could be sent up to the solicitor. Ald.Madden— The funerai bills had been referred to the committee and the mayor had kicked because they wanted them paid, Mayor-No resolution was on the book governing that case. He would rather pay that bill himself, than to have people throwing at him that the public money was being squandered. An acrimonious discussion followed upon tho old sore of the funeral bills, the two aldermen holding that the mayor was forever finding fault with the actions of the health and finance committees. Aid. Teeter—The point was whether the mayor had the veto power over the council or a committee's recommendation to pay a bill. He objected to that move on the part of the mayor, and his desire was to see the Curtis bill and the resolution go before the city solicitor for an opinion. Mayor—Did not like to have the resolution on the book referred to the solicitor, and did not want the people to think he would act so foolishly. Aid. Madden—The mayor had no business to act as he did. As one of the health committee, he would rather pay all bills coming before it himself than have them come before council to be turned down. He wanted no information of that kind, Again the old sore of the funeral bills came, Aid. Madden accusing the inavor of uot wanting to bury the man and desiring to have the hospital removed out of town. Aid. Teeter -Had oo desire to hamper the work of the corporation, but he did not relish a slap by getting a veto passed after a motion had lieen put and carried. If the motion had been out of order, the mayor should not have put it, so the latter was out of order as well as his veto. It was ridiculous anyway to veto on such grounds. As a member of the council, he must make a stand on that question. The majority of the council should decide, not tha mayor, who was assuming too much power. Aid. Madden -As the motion suited the council, the mi yor had uo business to veto it. Aid. Tester -Surely t!u* veto was out of order if the resolution was. Mayor—If it couid bi proven he was wrong, he would apologize. If Aid. Smith said lie was wrong, the veto would be scored out. Aid. Smith—It was a question of proceedure and he could uot solve it. Finally the question was smoothed out a little, and the matter of paving for the creek work brought up, a loan of S50IJ having been secured. Mayor -I do not want to see the council broken up before the creek work and other pressing matters are disposed of. Aid. Teeter—Had no desire to do so, but tliere was a lack of harmony anioiig them and he could not stay. Fault had beeh found with his work on committees and he asked to be relieved of his labors. Mayor—That is impossible, as there wero only thrive aldermen in the city, and they must go on all committees. Aid. Maddeu -He had seen the mayor several times winking at certain ones ou the board for sympathy, and that was uot right. Personally, he supposed he cut no iee.but he was not looking for sympathy from anyone. He, too, did not want to break up the council, but he had had enough. He had always noticed,that Aid. Wordeu was a great friend of the mayor in the council. Mayor—Did not know that he had any particular friends in eouucil. Aid. Teeter Had tried to do his full duty at all times, but tonight's action of assumption and dictation was too much. Aid. Madden -The mayor wanted to be dictator and ruler. Mayor -He would resign his seat at the head of the lxiard if any of thr others would take it. He hud lieen forced into thr sent, and had spent as much of his time for the city ns anyone else. Once more the old sorr was opened aud the talk grew warm. Tho talk calming down, the question of the creek work ciuue up. Aid. Smith and Madden moved tho payment of $500 to Swau & McPherson. as part of the contract money. Carried. Aid. Smith, for the board of works, reported the sale of the fence around the Sloan property, and the money turned into the treasury. In answer-to theuiayor,Chief Pinch- lx*ck said he was not getting along very well with collecting dog taxes. The mayor suggested putting the road tax bylaw into force, but Aid. Madden and Teeter objected, stating it was hard enough getting men here, without driving thorn away by heavy taxation. Council adjourned. I,,i|>i,.v11,a i ,i„Kiaipli Line*. Considerable money is being spent by the C.P.R. for the liottennent of their telegraph lines through the country. From Nakusp to Arrowhead the wires have been strung on trees, but regular poles are to be substituted, a gang of men commencing on the work last week. The section between; here and New Denver is to be similar-! ly treated. CITV TAX SALE. Delinquent Land* to be Sold on the 18th of July. After several months of careful and anxious preparation, the city officials have decided to hold a tax sale for all the delinquent lands in the corporate Knits. H.« D. Curtis, collector, will have charge of the sale, which will be held In the citv hall, at 11 a.m., on July 18. All told there are 773 pieces of property, of which 713 belong to1 the townsite company, the remainder being divided among 56 private own- era. The total amount ef taxes owing the city, with interest, is upwards of J3000. Hnd the city that money -paid in it would wipe out all floating debts and place the burg on easy street. Of peculiar iuterest is the fact that the sale is the second only to be held by1 incorporated towns in the province' under the regular statutes. Aiming Toward* a Mill. Many processes have been advanced during the past year or so for the practical and economical treatment of silver ores. The owners of the Ottawa have been keeping cases on one process that promises to meet their needs, and to fully test it are sendiug out a couple of tons of ore, one of their ordinary shipping ore and the other the run of the mine. It goes to the Krom Machine Works, Jersey City. If the test is successful, the Ottawa people will lose no time in establishing a mill at the mine, to treat their large reserves of second-class ore. A mill of 50-tons capacity would only cost $10,- 090. Final Knife of < liungin. Following is the final draft of the changes mado among the Methodist ministers of tho country: Rossland - Geo. E.

The Grand Trunk Pacific railway is to be built from the Pacific ond simul-: taneously with the other sections. The' company wanted to. build through thei mountains at their own convenience, but the dominion government has given assurances that the bill will be amended so as to compel the company to commence work on the mountain section at the same time as the other parts. This will be good news to the people of B.C. Kiel, Ore From Ottawa. Returns from thr two last carloads of ore from the Ottawa show that the high values are lieing maintained with depth. The second last car went upwards of 2(50 oz to the ton iu silver, while the last car yielded 309 oz. No particular sortiug was done to obtain that result. Since then the settlement has been made of the last car, the cheque calling fer the payment of $3603.37. Silver Quotation*.

Swan & McPherson, contractors for the protective werks to Springer creek, completed their task on Tuesday evening. The work has been well done and presents a neat ap|>earance. The wall will effectually safeguard the mill and other property. With extras, the work will cost iu the neighborhood of ,«1000. Relinquished Tlii'lr I.mac. C. McNichol, H. Lea and C.Suyder, lessees of the Port Hope, have quit the property and brought their outfit dowu the hill. About five tons of ore was also brought down and shipped to the smelter, rep resent ing a cleanup of the dumps of ore taken out during development. Aimeat Complete'* M. McAndrews has almost completed his contract with the Ottawa road. On Tuesday it had reached the lower levels of the mine, which will enable shipments of ore to be commenced at once. A few days more will complete tbe balance of tlio load.

Boundary properties handled 17,017 tous of ore last week. Rossland ore shipments last week fell away to 4704 tons. Operations were resumed at the Slocan Star concentrator last week,- Last week the Sandon mines shipped 278 tons of ore, making 4406 tons to date. The Providence Mining Co., of Qreenwood, has declared mother dividend of $4000. It will requirn about 1200 to make the Republic road passablefor wagons all the way up. Twenty men were added to the Slocan Star last week, nnd the number will lie further increased. The Nelson smelter has materially increased its rates on dry ore from the local division. They run on a sliding scale. The Slocan Star has expended $15,- 000 in refitting its concentrator to handle ziuc. E. Savage took the amalgam from the Chapleau clean-up on Fridav te Nelson. It yielded upwards of $300. For the month up to Friday the local record office had issued 108 free miners' licenses, whieh is quite a drop from last year. The suit of the Last Chance against ihe American Boy, for trespass and purloining ore, was begun at the Nelson assizes last week. D. Arnot went to Nelson on Tuesday, in charge of three tons of concentrates from the Chapleau. The assay returns were satisfactory. A series of eij^ht Assays have been made on the run of the ore at the Club, and the returns are $58 in gold and silver, with no sortiug. Le Roi affairs have again got into a bad tangle, due, among other causes, to inaccurate sampling of the ore. Rosslamt keenly feels the blow. Tom Benton and Bert Wilhelm came down from the Lady Franklin on Sunday, having finished their work for the year. There wns still six foot of snow in that vicinity. Iirirtnl Long and l'ii»l.

McClure O o«o*o«o*o*o*oo«o«o*o*o**o*o Miss Appleton was sweeping the rustling yellow leaves from her trim walk when Dr. Loveland came driving along the dusty white road to the village. The October sunshine had mellowed the morning chill and was making free with Miss Appleton's brown hnlr. causing it to send out red and gold gleams that no one would suspect lurked in its dusky strands. lhe doctor drew up nt the gate. "Any errands ln town today, Miss Mlnta?" he called out cheerily. "I'm out of patients (pun unpremeditated) and running errands for the ladles." Aminta leaned her smooth fair chin upon the top of the broom handle contemplatively. "I don't think I need anything—oh. well, yes; you might get rae a skein of crimson zephyr wool If you will." "Sure," returned the doctor heartily. "I've picked up some little job nt every house I've pnsscd. There's one more, Mrs. Lynd's. Guess she'll have enough commissions to keep me bustling the balance,of the day." The doctor chuckled In his boyish wny, then fell to wondering ns he stowed away Miss Amintii's silver dollar wby sbe bad refused to join in his merriment nnd bad turned so abruptly about to resume ber sweeping. It wns a little unusual for the ladies to be unresponsive whon he offered to shop for them. Mrs. Lynd, a blooming pink and pearly widow, was fairly lying In wait for him in tbe shade of her frilly little buff portico, and the doctor's predictions as to thc number of needs in the shopping line were verified. She hnnd- ed him n dainty little memorandum book. "You'll find the list here," she said sweetly, "all at Bobbins', you know. I have an account there. I suppose Minta Appleton didn't condescend to let you shop any for her. She always thinks nobody can do anything properly but her. Now, I'm not a bit fussy myself." "Well," tho doctor acknowledged, "she did commission me to get her a skein of red zephyr—hey?" The es- THE DOCTOR STEPPED SUDDKNLT SACS, UIS FACE GLOOMING. clamatory question was prompted by tbe droll grimace made by Mrs. Lynd; her eyebrows went up luto two acute angles, and her mouth puckered comically. "Red zephyr—the parson needs new slippers, and Minta's just that old fashioned to work 'em herself and Just got. time between now and Christmas. Well, Minta's about prim and stiff nnd antique enough to niukc a model wife for a parson. Don't you think so, doctor?" "Yes," said the doctor, "or for any one else who knows the right brand." He drove onward, pondering. Tbe autumnal light Blunted across thc road In deep, warm strips. A lute bird sung a lazy autumn song from n thorn thick- et. Nature was lu a sweet and u serene mood. And yet all Dr. Lovelnnd's jollity was overshadowed. Miss Appleton's many nieces and nephews, re-enforced and abetted by their chums, had most piteously petitioned for a Halloween party at tbe roomy old bomcstend ln whoso sole ownership she rejoiced. "It's the only bouse wo know of with such a big, nice kitchen," appeal.ugly urged Aminta May, her pretty name* sake, whose eighteenth birthday hnd Just launched her ns a villago society bud, "and of course we have to piny all tbe tricks ln tbe kitchen." "And there won't be so dreadful many of us—only just us young folks," supplemented Myrtle. "We don't want nny elderly people nt all, except you, Aunt Mlntn." No elderly poople—except her! It was a little splash of cold water in her face. Amliitn wasn't thirty and had never called herself nor before been called elderly. Hut In the eyes of theso candid lnfiints, ranging from ten to eighteen, she felt she must indeed bo ln the sear and yellow lenf. "Aunt Minta's Just ns sweet nud pretty as a girl," asserted Mlntn May staiii-'bly, "nnd she must try her fortune too. Mrs. Lynd said Dr. Love- land snld she'd make a splendid wife for the minister." Mlas Aminta promised to surtPndPf her premises to the youthful bcsiegora and retired from the Held wllb Hushed cheeks and n curious expression in ber serene gray eyes. If Dr. Loveland'S horse hnd not been lame nud therefore incapacitated for business ou the 30th of October anil if Dr. Lovclnnd, out on n foot expedition and caught by tbe autumn nightfall, had not taken a short cut through Miss Appleton's back premises, the skein of romance so skillfully tangled by Mrs. Lynd might have remained tangled indefinitely. However, the doctor did take the short cut, and, treading gingerly through the late, crisp gruss, he stepped upon some round object tbat gave pllantly under the pressure of his foot. A slender, long glimmer of light came from Miss Auiintn's kitchen and fell upon a slight crimson line running to the door, which arose, taut, ns the doctor lifted the object from the ground—n ball of red zephyr wool. Walking deliberately to tbe bouse, lie wound the strand of thread as lie went up tne step and on to the porch, wbere Miss Aminta stood, a startled look on her face, which was pule in tlmt yellow light, and four shining knitting needles iu her hands, from whieh mn the crimson thread. The doctor stepped suddenly back, his faco glooming. "I thought at tirst it might be fate and tbat sbe was going to be kind," he said, "but I recognize the skein of red wool, and—of course tho minister must have his slippers for Christmas." Amintii's forehead took on a mystified frown. "I know nothing about any minister's slippers, and 1 should scarcely think of knitting tbem out of crimson worsted if I did. Poor brother Tom suffers from rheumatism and wants some knitted wristlets"— "Then—runybe it wns fate, after all." The doctor stepped joyously forward. Miss Aminta turned primly aside. "Since you think the role of clergyman's wife my only fitting one"— "But 1 don't," cried the doctor. "Somebody's beeu lying like Ananias. I think"- The gleam of light from the door suddenly widened and a hilarious young mob rushed out, shouting lawlessly. "Goody, goody," shrieked Mlntn May, "Aunt Minta threw a ball of yarn, and Dr. Loveland bus found it." "I didn't," protested Miss Minta, looking inclined to Ily for her lifo. "There was a great spider on the ball, and ln trying to shake it uway and fling it into the yard I accidentally tossed the yurn too." "It wns providential," said the doctor, stealing an unabashed arm about Miss Mlnta, "for tbe clew led rae straight to paradise." WHAT IS WORN.

Mr. Boggs passed the evening paper over to bis wife, indicating witb a toll worn thumb a certain paragraph' "Read that," ho said, "and see what you think of Nathan Eldridge, that claimed to be so smnrt and was so keen after dollars. See bow he's gone all to smash, nud his hotel with bim. Pretty doings for a Bushby boy! But I knew 'twould come! I knew 'twould come!" "How did you Tmow It?" demanded Mrs. Boggs, to whom her husband's claims for unusual wisdom and foresight were sometimes a trifle irritating. "Folks have all said the hotel was full, and Nathan seemed wonderfully prospered." "So he did, nnd so it wns," admitted Mr. Boggs, "but no man enn do as ho did and be prospered long. Wby.

A lady went into a church one Sunday, and, being a stranger, she waited to be shown to a seat. An obliging churchwarden led her to a seat below the gallery, the only other occupant of which nt thc moment was n kind looking old gentleman with white hair, who rose to let her pass, lt was somewhat dark, and the lady, as sbe shook ber skirts and settled down, bad a horrible suspicion that she was .silting upon something besides the cushion. She put down her hand nnd drew out tbe melancholy ruin of a silk hat. "Oh," she snld to tbe old gentleman, "I beg your pardon! I nm so sorry!" The old gentleman looked benevolently at the wreck and replied thnt lt wns unfortunate, but thut It could not bo helped. "Oh, It's so good of you to sny so," said the Indy, much distressed, "but I am really so vexed!" The gentleman straightened out the fabric nnd put lt under thc seat, but tbe delinquent Insisted on covering herself with humiliation. "I nm afraid you are so nngry," she murmured apologetically.

They will prescribe and exiii.runent with drugs of all kinds sanctioned by tho Pharmacopoeia or newly introduced; bul whero 0 medical discovery. even when il is tin life work ol' a regular practicing physician, is recommended io the general public by a manufacturer professional etiquette steps in ami frightens them. No matter how overwhelming the evidence of what such a discovery, when sold as a proprietary dicine, has accomplished they look coldly upon il and I will . rarely admit thai ihey have used ii with success, It would bo I "unprofessional" to do so. Dr.l<ap- SponI is troubled by nu such scruples. For Instance the numerous remarkable cures winch have I n proved by newspaper reports, Independently I investigated, to have I n accomplished by tho medicine sold in Call- (ada nnder the name of Dr, Williiuns' I'ink Tills for Dale People, musl bo well known to all Canadian doctors. They have been published far and wide. There can be no doubt of their accuracy. The names and addresses of the men and women cured are freely published, Their statements havu been investigated by some of the most Important newspapers In this country and abroad. No one jbns ever attempted lo dispute tho fuels. I'.ui Canadian doctors have nover cared to admit publicly that they have availed themselves of this discovery. Dr, l.apponi, however, has availed himself of Dr, Williams' discovery, and has. in his own fearless way. had no hesitation in milking tlie fact publicly known. The following letter.

It la m Sort ef l'tirnlrala of Either the MuNt'lcia or Nervra. Writers' cramp, which Is more paralysis than cramp, ls caused by excessive writing, especially when In a weak or depressed condition, ft is still a mutter of doubt whether this embarrassing defect ls due to n failure of the central nervous system or whether it arises in the muscles involved. Duchenne, one of the highest authorities on nerve diseases, holds that it is an affection of the great nerve centers, for local treatment of the lend does no good, nnd cramp rapidly appears in the left hand if the sufferer trnnsfers tbe work to lt. It Is probably caused by tbe complete exhaustion of some portion of the brain which presides over the movements of the group of muscles involved. Rest is the chief, if not the only, cure, though tbe substitution of n keyboard typewriter in the early stage ls often of no avail. A dial machine, which must be grasped with finger nnd thumb, Is not so successful. Pianists, vIollniRls, telegraph clerks, tailors nnd many others suffer from a sli-ilar cramp. PLANTS IN BEDROOMS.

The Wosleynn Million Glulnon Fund (England) has reached u total of Ther Are llarmlei.ia In the Daytime, bnt Vlclouia at Night. In the daytime, when sunlight stimulates their nutrition, plants can do no barm in bedrooms, for then tbey give off oxygen and are useful in absorbing from the air tbe carbon which ls injurious to animal life. The free use which Is made nowadays of llowers nnd plants In our hospitals is in itself sullicient proof that this is a wholesome means of ministering mental cheer and comfort to the sick and suffering. At night the case Is different. Then all plants nnd llowers are removed from hospital wards, because tbey exhale the carbonic acid which they have gathered from the soil and air and thus give off by n process similar to resplrutlon a gas which is Injurious. We may therefore conclude that during the hours of darkness, when the respirntory process is active and the nutritive Is at a standstill, plants should have no placo in our bedrooms. What is prudent In spacious wards is imperative in smaller chambers. The wife of a collier named Thos. l-'arnworth, of Greenbank street.

The question ls n little pathetic- when we remember that Hawthorne a little before this time bud spoken of himself ns the least read author in America. It shows, too, that the mystery of the popular novel was ns great then as It is today. One could understand why a thrilling tale of cheaply concocted adventure might captivate the multitude, but tbe curious point is that some of the high sellers aro simply dull and respectable.

In four years Boundary mines have yielded over 2,000,000 tons of ore, valued at over $10,000,000. Figures like that appeal to reasoning minds,streng- thening the belief that all B.C. niiniug is not done in hot air. New Westminster is laying itself out for a big celebration on July 23, whon the new $1,000,000 bridge over the Fraser is to be opened for lai'road aud general traffic. If the bridge returns one-half the business expected from it, the province will have made a good investment. The Methodists in recent convention at New Westminster passed a resolution favoring organic union with the Presbyterians and Congregationalists Sufficient resolutions have been passed by the different bodies demonstrating their willingness to join hands, and it is up to them now to prove their sin ferity by evolving something definite and practical. Public interest is being aroused to the advantages of fruit culture and all likely plots of land adjacent to the centres of population in Kootenay are being taken up, having an increasing value per acre. Iu the Slocau valley are yet thousands of acres of land suitable for fruit raising awaiting set- tlement,with easy communication and innumerable natural advantages. Hon. Mr. Fulton,the new provincial secretary, was re-elected from the Kamloops riding, Monday, by accla niation. To the Liberals the event was not pleasing, judging from the noise they are making, one of their allegations being that the election was hurried in order to thwart opposition. Of course it was, and very successful it was, too. Asamatterof fact,though, the Liberals are not in shape to conduct a successful campaign anywhere. There promises to be a great deal of railroad building done this year in British Columbia. Jim Hill of the Great Northern has taken the initiative, and it may lie expected the C.P. R. will not be far behind in activity. Hill has already commenced on four short branches, each of which will cut into the Canadian road's revenue-producing territory. No. 1 is a branch through Fernie to Coal Creek, to tap the coal mines; No. 2 is the Phoenix road to tlie Granby mines; No. 3 will connect with the Grand Forks smelter; and No. 4 heads for Midway. The latter road irritates the C.P.R., ns it is part of the system known as the Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern, destined to penetrate the rich Himilkiimeeii country, thence to the Chilliwhnck valley and on to the coast. In order to check the scheme or, at least, to corral the major portion of the trude expected to arise from that section,the Canadian road is moving to build its long-projected branch from the Boundary over the mountains to Hope, on its main line,a move it would uot have made unless urged on by strong competition. Other blanches ure also contemplated in the Boundary. In the far north there is the assurance thut the Grand Trunk will commence its transcontinental line at the Pacific end simultaneously with tbe eastern sections.
