ESABLISHED 1892 FRIDA.Y MORNING, JANUARY 17, 1902 DAILY EDITION A FLETCHER WAS ELECTED MAYOR YESTERDAY. KIRKPATRICK TICKET SECURES FOUR OUT OF SIX SEATS AT THE COUNCIL BOARD. The municipal elections yesterday resulted in the election of Frank Fletcher over John A. Kirkpatriek by a majority of 1.C in a total vote of SOS. When the polling opened both sides were confident but it is safe to say that the result of the counting was a surprise to the majority of the electors. An analysis of the vote cast shows that candidate Fletcher made the gain which won the contest for him in the West ward, his vote in this ward being 17 votes stronger than that cast for him in the contest of 1900 when he made the race against John Houston. His majority in this ward was 45 over candidate Kirkpatriek and the vote in the East ward remained practically the same as that in 1900, which was the last occasion upon which a poll was taken, mayor Fletcher being returned by acclamation in 1901. The total vote cast for candidate Fletcher was 312 as against 296 for candidate Kirkpatriek. In the East ward the Kirkpatriek ticket elected all three of its aldermen there being a difference of 14 votes between the lowest Kirkpatriek candidate, and the highest Fletcher candidate. Ex- - alderman Gillett and Paterson, who sought re-election were given places at tne foot of the poll, whereas last year they were returned by acclamation. Ex- alderman Gillett was 31 votes short of the average vote polled by the Kirkpai- |V rick candidates and ex-alderman Pater- |i son got off somewhat worse, being 86 votes short. In the West ward ex-alderman Hamilton headed the poll, having a comfort- , able lead, .over ex-alderman Selous who * made the'race with him, their vote being 192 and 175 respectively. Both these candidates were supporters of Fletcher and their pluralities were considerably in excess of the majority secured by the head of their ticket, a circumstance no doubt explained by the fact, that in the West ward the Kirkpatriek ticket had but two candidates in the field, which resulted in the splitting of the vote. The voting in the East ward resulted as follows: II FOR MAYOR. V Frank Fletcher .170 John A. Kirkpatriek- 199 FOR ALDERMEN. R. W. Drew 220 Chris Morrison 20S John A. Irving 203 W. J. Wilson 1S9 W. G. Gillett 179 John Paterson 124 The voting in the West ward resulted as follows: FOR MAYOR. Frank Fletcher 142 John A. Kirkpatriek 97 FOR ALDERMEN; John Hamilton ." 192" Harold Selous 175 T. J. Scanlan 127 John Elliot 125 D. C. McMorris 114 The voting for school trustees placed Dr. Hall at the head of the poll, who with F. W." Swannell will constitute the hold-overs on the board, Messrs Arthur, McKillop and Annable retiring for reelection at the end of the present year. The vote cast was as follows: Dr. George A. B. Hall 409 F. W. Swannell 331 Dr. E. C. Arthur 322 A. L. McKillop 318 J. E. Annable 304 J. F. Weir 270 When the result of the polling was announced both sides held a jubilee, the Kirkpatriek committee on the strength of their winning the majority of the seats in the full council, and the Fletcher committee on their victory in the contest for the mayoralty.

MANITOBA PROHIBITIONISTS GREAT CEBIIOKY MARKS BRiTAIN'S PARLIA- MENTORY OPENING. KING'S SPEECH DID NOT DISCLOSE INFORMATION RESPECTING NATIONAL POLICY, Object to the Referendum. WINNIPEG, January 16.���The legislative chamber, floor and gallery was crowded today with ardent supporters of the liquor act. They presented the following resolution from the Dominion alliance: "Without pronouncing on the general principle of the referendum, this convention would strongly deprecate the application of the principle to the present liquor act, that the act should be proclaimed to be brought into force not later than June 1st, next, without any further reference to the people for an expression of opinion thereon. Resolved that this branch of the alliance declares its purpose to give .the government.its iull.and heartyv-nioral-. and political support in any appeal" which they may make to the. country when this becomes the issue, providing the liquor act is brought into operation by June 1st, 1902, without any referendum, and -vigorously enforced thereafter." Premier Roblin thanked the deputation on behalf of himself and his cabinet. All they had said would receive the best consideration of the cabinet and the people's representatives, who were there to do the will of the people. It was not, therefore, any use for him to say anything further "on that occasion. Mr. Mulock pressed for a definite answer which might be laid before the temperance convention which met again that afternoon. Mr. Roblin said that Mr. Mulock had asked a most unreasonable question. To start with, he had announced that the policy of the government would be a referendum and now he was asked to go back on that and to reverse that decision without consulting his colleagues, and without knowing that a single member of the house was behind him. A New Electric Signal. ROCKFORD, January 16.���The Chicago & Eastern Illinois railway is prepared to install a system of electric signals to prevent accidents.

JEAN, Port Joll, January IC���Tho Carbonneau government, Liberal, is elected in L'lhlet by one majority. LONDON, January IC���.King Edward opened parliament this afternoon with a ceremonial in all essential respects similar to that of February last. Tho procession to the house of lords was of the same character as that witnessed on tlie occasion of the opening of the flrst parliament of king Edward's reign, while within the upper house was seen the same state pageantry, the same historic dresses and the same revival of ancient forms. After robing, king Edward and queen Alexandra entered the house of peers and occupied their thrones beneath a canopy, with the prince and princess of Wales on either side of them. The other members of the royal family were seated on chairs at the foot of the steps leading to the throne. The gentlemen ushers of the black rod, general sir Michael Biddulph, having summoned the speaker and the members of the house of commons, his majesty read the speech from the throne. ��� ,, The speech was not an important utterance. His majesty referred in gratified terms to the tour of the prince and princess.of Wales. Expressed regret at the fact that the war in South Africa was not concluded; said he trusted the decision of the sugar conference would lead to the abandonment of bounties and noted the conclusion of the Isthmian canal treaty. The speech opened with a reference to the tour of the prince and princess of Wales. "They were everywhere," said the king "received with demonstrations of the liveliest affection, and I am convinced their presence served to rivet mdr- closely the bbnds of mutual regard, and loyalty by which the vigor of the empire is maintained." Referring to Great Britain's relation with the other powers he said they continued to be of a friendly character. Contrary to expectation, the king's reference to the war, was just as indefi-. nite as the statements on the subject made in tlie last half dozen messages from the throne. "I regret," said his majesty, "that the war in South Africa is not yet concluded, though the course of the operations lias been favorable to our arrangements, the area of war has been largely reduced, and industries are being resumed in my new colonies. In spite of the tedious character of the campaign, my soldiers throughout, have displayed a cheerfulness in the endurance of the hardships incident to guerilla warefare, and a humanity even to their own detriment in- their treatment of the enemy, and are deserving of the highest praise. The necessity for relieving those of my troops who have most felt the strain of the war has afforded me this opportunity of again availing myself of the loyal and patri- jotic-offers. jol^my_^o2ome^,^and^tu-ther contingents will shortly "reach South A'F rica from the Dominion of Canada, the commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand." In regard to the Hague conference, the speech says: "I trust its decision may lead to the abandonment of the system by which the sugar producing colonies and home manufacturers of sugar have been unfairly weighted in the prosecution of this most important industry." Then came the following clause: "I have concluded with the president of the United States a treaty, the provisions of ���which will facilitate the construction of an inter-oceanic canal under guarantees that its neutrality will be maintained, and that it will be open to the commerce and shipping of all nations." Next followed a reference to the Anglo-Brazilian treaty, to the referring of the British Guiana-Brazil boundary questions to the arbitration of the king of Italy, of the necessity of the continuance of famine relief measures in India, and to the death of the ameer, "whose son Habibullah, has expressed an earnest desire to maintain the friendly relations of Afghanistan with my Indian empire." After announcing that the estimates have been framed as economically as due regard for their efficiency renders possible in the special circumstances of the present exigency," the speech concluded with mentioning proposed leg- islaton, of solely domestic interest, with the exception of a bill to facilitate the sale and purchase of land in Ireland. LONDON, January 10.-���The house of lords was well filled when business was resumed. The prince of Wales occupied the seat formerly filled by his father. Many peeresses were in the gallery. The lord chancellor, earl Salisbury, formerly read the king's speech. The earl of Harrowby, Conservative, in moving the address in reply to the speech from the throne, referred to the non-interference of foreign powers in South African war as being evidence of their friendly relations. The earl of Lytton, who seconded the motion, congratulated the government on their more than friendly relations with tho United States and the South American republics," and added that though affairs in Ireland were considered critical, they might safely be left in the hands of the government. LONDON, January 1G.���There was only a meagre attendance of members when the house of commons met at 4 o'clock this afternoon to commence the work of the session. Irish affairs cropped up almost immediately, earl Percy, Conservative, and eldest son of the duke ol* Northumberland and member for south division of Kensington, moving a resolution to the effect that the election from Galway of colonel Arthur Lynch, who was commonly and notoriously reported to have aided the' king's enemies, was an insult to the house and a committee, should be appointed to consider the course to pursue. The speaker, William Court Gully, declined to accept the motion until notice of it was given in the usual way. Earl Spencer, Liberal, in criticising the address, said that while he recognized the impossibility of granting the Boer demands for independence, yet he deprecated on insisting on unconditional surrender. His lordship urged the government to promise the Eoers autonomy similar to the governments of Canada and' Australia. The premier, lord Salisbury, whose entrance Into the house was greeted with hearty applause, f-aid he .was glad to hear earl Spencer vent an (utterance for which he, the premier, hud been frequently and unsparingly condemned. It was quite true that there was no possibility of granting the Boers independence. Neither was it the government's tfclief, after being gratuitously attacked, to inform the Boers on what terms the*c would be forgiven, and especially since the Boers had not expressed a wish to be forgiven. Lord Salisbury continued by defending the martial law in South Africa, and urged the opposition to consider they were not dealing with the question as to whether they could make out a good case against the government. The premier'pleaded that they should not allow their eagerness to improve their party position and make them forget the issue whether or not Great Britain should be victor in the war. He reminded the opposition that a wrong settlement now would impose grave difficulties and embarrassments upon the nation for many years to come. Replying to the premier lord Rosebery said that he favored a rassive policy of peace which would receive overtures when these were made and that in this connection'he wished to know the truth of the rumors concerning the visit to London of Dr. Kuyper, the premier of Holland. Had he brought such overtures? "Not so far as I know," answered lord Salisbury, z. "Have any.overtures been received from the Boer leaders in Europe?" asked lord Rosebery. To this question lord Salisbury answered "No." After the speech from the throne had been formally read in the house of commons and Ihe addresses In reply had been moved and seconded the Liberal leader, sir Henry Campbell - Bannerman, spoke In general terms against tlie course of tho government in South Africa, urging conciliation in place of brute force. He said the same, in a measure, was true of Ireland where the government was at present floundering ic-tween concession and coercion and urged the adoption of the most libera! program toward Ireland. Mr. MaeNeill, Irish Nationalist, .member for,South -Donegal,..created the earliest scene by deploring the fact that- the Nationalist members had "been immured in dungeons at the bequest of Mr. AVyndham," the chief secretary for Ireland. He moved tlie appointment of a committee to investigate the matter. AVhen the speaker declined to accept the motion, Mr. McNeill questioned his ruling and was called lo order. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Liberal, by attacking tne institution of martial law in Cape Colony and by accusing the government of grossly unconstitutional conduct in advising the ministers of Cape Colony not to summon Ihe Cape parliament, brought up Mr. Chamberlain, the colonial secretary, who was in a n c_t brilliant mood. Mr. Chamberlain said that sir "William Vernon Harcourt _oii_ht to have placed a question of such vase Importance hi the form of an amendment and then proceeded to justify absolutely the fiction of the Capo government. Mr. Chamberlain said he did not scrap for the legal opinions on one side or the other, that the government had to deal with an emergency and that II had followed tho universal practice of all countries. He also said the government of Cape Colony would ask parliament to ideninify Their acts. Sir William Vernon Harcourt asked: "When will this be done?" Mr. Chamberlain retorted: "When is the war going to end?" (Laughter and cheers). John Redmond, chairman of the Irish parliamentary party: "By the next general election." Tn tho course of his speech Mr. Chamberlain was protesting against the suggestion -that_he-s;ioiikl-overrule=tli-_priv.y_1council.i when Mr. Redmond interjected: "Hear! hear! You ought to be king." Amid laughter Mr."Chamberlain replied: "That is very good of the honorable gentleman, but that is not my ambition." The house then adjourned. The Irish members held their usual sessional meeting this afternoon and decided to move amendments to the address in re- reply to tho speech from the throne^. Severn! amndments to the address were linnlly adopted. These included a revision for the Tiish land and taxation law; protests against the enforcement of the Trish Crimes Act and the operation of certain courts and against the concentration camps in South Africa. Another amendment contained an appeal for the relief of the congested districts and bettor housing of tho working classes in Ireland. On tho opening night of parliamsnt tlie debate in the house of lords was far more interesting than that In tlio house cf commons, which, except for Mr. Chamberlain's speech, proved rather dull and ljnguid. In the house; of neers lord Lytton. son of the poet diplomatist, in seconding the address in reply to the speech from tlie throne in an abl speech, drew high praise from If rd Rosebery. who described it as "by far'j the ablest he had ever heard upon such an occasion," which gave an early touch of distinction to the procedings. Earl Spencer spoke Cor the Liberals, .in the absence of the earl of Klmberley, wjio was ill. After lord Salisbury's brief reply, lord Rosebery opened an extended criticism by describing king Edward's speech as the most jejune .ever placed on the lips of any monarch. The speaker expressed his skepticism as to the motives of the visit .to London of Dr. Kuypers, and said: "I do not suppose he came to see the old masters." He twitted Mr. Chamberlain for "trailing his diplomatic coal, and inviting anybody to trend upon It." and contended that the name of Great Britain was now held in hostility abroad compared to which all previous records faded into insignificance. Lord Rosebery commended the spirit and words of Mr. Chamberlain's reply to the imperial chancellor of Germany, count. Von Buelow, but expressed his anx- ietv concerning tha constant controversies with Germany and other powers which Mr. Chamberlain'." dialectics b"l aroused and wanted to know where it \v.<- going tn stop. Lord Rosebery f ' ' '���������* 'gen'-v in the pros- ent method" w' ��� imple opportunity for maintaining ihat position of splendid isolation which the government seemed to deem eminently r|_jsii-alil��*. but to maintain which they would uo well to have an overpowering ��Ilo_t and nil i-fnelciit army for rt'ncr powers were also building Moots. During the course of lord Riisehery's speech, lord Salsibury constantly rose to bis foot to make corrections or objections thereto, until anally lord Rosebery said he would not further touch upon topics which seemed to irritate tlie premier. Lord Lansdowne. foreign secretary, briefly replied tn lord Hoselnry. cnnd-iting tip- view that Great Britain was hated abroad. Their majesties were greeted enthusiastically as thev sat In the slate coach, wlioso. gilded pinnacle brushed the boughs of tho trees in the park. King Edward ami queen Alexandra looked for all the world like the flattering painting of Henry VII. and one of his better looKing spouses. The king and both looked extremely well. So far as restrained enthusiasm is concerned the spectacle was nothing to what occurred earlier in the day when the guards' rein foremen t left their barricks en route to South Africa. The guards tramped thrcogh the dark streets of ths metropolis at 0 o'clock in the morning accompanied by an uproarious mob of citizens, .singing songs to the air of impatient bands, but the songs and music did not drown tho crying of women, who clung to tho necks and arms of almost every man of ihe contin-rent. On alighting at the royal entrance of the house of parliament, beneath the Victoria tower king Edward and queen Alexandra w ere met by the officers of state and were conducted to tlie robing rooms. Having assumed their gorgeous robes the procession was formed and preceded by the duke of Devonshire, lord president of the council, bearing the imperial yeoman and the heralds and "pursuivants, they entered the house of peers amid a fanfare of trumpets.- The scane in the gilded chambers was very brilliant, state officers,. ambassadors and ministers In h tndsome uniforms and. peers and peeresses in varl-cofored robes filled "every nook. The king, beneath his robes wore a field marshal's uniform. The queen's dress was of black velvet, surmounted by a robe trimmed with ermine. The peeresses all wore ostrich feathers In their hair and were richly clad in evening robes of the most varied colors, white satin, however, predominating. The display of jewels was unusually dazzling. The only departure from the extremely decorous character of the proceedings occurred when king Edward referred to the hnmnnliv -if the British troops in South Africa. This led to an unprecedented scone in the house'of lords, when peers, peeresses and high officers of ������tate broke out into a prolonged cheer, which was repeated again and'again to the evident satisfaction of his majesty, but to the apparent dismay of tho officials of the house. CIVIC ELECTIONS VOTING THROUGHOUT THE PROVINCE. TEE CITIZENS' TICKET MAKES A CLEAN SWEEP IN THE CONTEST IN ROSSLAND. MADE A SERIOUS BLUNDER Troops Fighting Each Other. NEW YORK, January IC���News of a serious mistake, in which a force of government troops fought another body of government soldiers thinking it was composed of Colombian revolutionists, has been brought to Colon, Columbia, by the Colombian war ship general Pin- zons, cables the correspondent of the Herald at that place.

It was a case in which the independent electors were against a stuffed voters' list, and their only satisfaction is that in the contest for the election of chief magistrate their nominee was not more behind candidate Fletcher than he was. That the voters' list was stuffed was evidenced by; the fact that no less than thirty-four names, were added to the list as certified to by mayor Fletcher as correct, and all as names improperly omitted. The list (of voters upon which the contest was fought out was prepared by candidate Fletcher and it was manifestly evident from the start that the names of voters who were favorable to himself were , placed upon the list, whether their taxes were paid or not, while the names (of property owners who it was thought did not favor candidate Fletcher's aspirations for a second term were left off the list if they were one day behind in the payment of their taxes. Candidate Fletcher is mayor for a second term, but it required all the advantage of preparing the list to place him in that- position. So far as the aldermanic candidates go the result may be viewed in the light of a pronouncement against mayor Fletcher's policy of hostility to public ownership and management of public utilities. Out of a board of six aldermen four men have been returned who were straightforward in their opposition to the Fletcher programme of taking the West Kootenay Power & Light Company into partnership with the city in the management of the city's electric lighting system. That the head of the ticket should have failed in his election is a circumstance to be deplored, and the only consolation offered is that the majority of the members returned to the council board is made up of men who will not contemplate anything in the way of a surrender to Nelson's policy ���with respect to municipal ownership and control of the public utilities. Circus at'Hangtown. Hangtown sat in a body outside Hooley's and discussed the coming event with soul-absorbing interest. Every available wall-space was aflame with gorgeous placards announcing the approach of the most momentous occurrence in the-'history of the town. Browne's big show was billed to reach there the twenty-eighth and give the finest exhibition of wild animals, acrobatic feats, and reckless bare-back riding ever seen1 this side the Rocky mountains. There were promised for their delectation, also, human snakes tying ���themselves into fancy bow-knots; aerial artists wandering leisurely and composedly through space; the only band of wild zebras in captivity, caught fresh from their native wilds; a raging Bengal tiger of the man-devouring variety; a five-footed pig, and a fat lady. By the morning of the twenty-seventh the news which had been carried from camp to camp by the weekly stage had brought representatives from every mine within fifty miles, so that when the vanguard of Browne's big show raised the brow of the hill the place was humming with anticipation. A few of the most enthusiastic went to meet the procession of tent covered wagonsj to introduce themselves to the management as representative citizens of the town and offer their assistance. But their offers were all positively declined. There was no time for the bungling efforts of outsiders. Every man connected with the show knew his business, and went about it the minute the site for the big tent was chosen. The horses had to be taken out of the wagons and "zebraed up" by the human snakes, the aerial artists had to practice a new long-distance flying feat, and the week's washing had to go through the hands of the fat lady before the performance could be given. There were rumors current at Hooley's that there was a young and beautiful woman in the show, and certainly the placards, if any faith might be put in them, displayed an intoxicating vision of beauty and grace, a slyph- like form in sky-blue tights and floating golden hair, that made the hours seem weeks until the curtain should rise on the evening of the twenty-eighth. .__When_-at_,last_the_fatefjul_mj)nient Swallowed a Splinter. YARMOUTH, Nova Scotia, January 1(5.��� Robert J. King of Brooklyn a few days ago whilst eating porridge accidentally swallowed a wooden splinter about an Inch lone. Tuesday night he wa.s seized with a coughing and vomiting spell, during which the splinter was raised, followed by a hemorrhage which continued until he died in a lew hours. It is thought his stomach was penetrated. He was fifty years old. Electric Plant Damaged. MONTREAL, January 16. ��� The power bouse of the Royal Electric Company, now tho property of the Montreal Heat, Power & Light Company, which supplies power for the city lighting', was damaged to the extent of $5000 this morning by lire. came, and after the usual half-hour wait the procession of living wonders filed around the ring, the tent was crowded with a breathless audience of red-shirt- ed miners. "Boiled" shirts were an impossible luxury at Hangtown, for the line of "gents' furnishing goods" carried by Hooley consisted wholly of flannel shirts, rubber boots, and overalls. It was an enthusiastic audience, however, as warm as their colors, for this was an event of great importance in their local history. Even the supers who came out to spread the carpet for the contortionists were met by such vociferous applause they had to come back and do it over and over again, for every man there had weighed out his gold-dust to the amount of two dollars and a half to get in, and the longer the program could be drawn out, the more he felt he was getting for his money. That was the golden age of the show business when traveling shows made fortunes. When each side-show was a dollar and the pea-nut boy sold his wares for "four bits" a package. The excitement ran high till the per-, formance was more than half over,, and nothing had been seen of the beautiful creature promised by the placards. The eyes of the crowd had been dazzled by feats of Hindoo jugglery, sword swallowing, glass-ball throwing, and the "daring, difficult, and dangerous diver- tisements" of the Marco brothers, who gave an exhibition of wild bare-back riding on a superannuated old nag that jolted slowly around the ring while they balaced perilously on both feet, but still no sign of the vision of loveliness in the sky-blue tights. Women in that region were as impossible a luxury as "biled shirts," for Hangtown at that time was a camp of migratory miners, who "bached" in rough cabins or under a pine tree, according to the season of the year. Consequently the interest was pitched high in anticipation of the feature billed on the placards as Mile. Fleurette, the flying fairy direct from Paris. Then, at last, amid a clash of brass, a booming of the big drum, a flourish of trumpets, the bright particular star burst upon the Hangtown horizon. The ringmaster came forward and announced to the ladies(?) and gentlemen of his intelligent and distinguished audience that he had now the pleasure of intro artist in the civilized world, who was about to give them a marvelous equili- brisitc performance on a frail and lofty frame-work with a break-away finish. At this Hangtown rose in a body and gave three rousing cheers, while the living wonder modestly bowed her acknowledgement from under a faded blue army cape. The frail and lofty frame-work was then brought-in, planted, and braced securely, the swings loosened from the top of the tent, and with a quick spring mademoiselle had grasped the bar, drawn herself up, and sat smiling at her audience from her perch in mid-air. The assistant aerial artist, the second greatest in the world, who followed her, was accorded little notice. He was only a man, and not so out of the ordinary; but the little wisp of humanity swinging above their heads was a woman, and it had been years since many of them had seen such a thing. As the blue tights, all a-glitter with spangles and tinsel, swayed backward and forward on the swing, the fleece of golden hair flying out like the tail of a comet, the crowd went wild, and for the first time during the evening drowned out the "Pop-corn, pea-nuts, and chewing-gum here!" of the vendors. But although the work of Pierre shone in second magnitude, it was owing to his steady nerve and iron jaw that Fleurette was,able to fly like a bird from bar to.bar, disregarding the law of gravity, and perch in mid-air to throw them kisses, while her eyes burned holes through their red shirts straight into their great rough hearts. - . . Many an on-looker thought, as he watched this incarnation of grace and beauty, of how different his life might be if such a divinity could exist in a mining camp. Hooley, who had a raintight lean-to in connection with his store, and had been cherishing a sneaking feeling all summer that he might as well have a wife and a cozy fire-side of his own, could stand the strain no longer. As he waited for the intermission, which was to give the performers a moment of relaxation, he formed his plans, and was ready to start for the greenroom tent the minute he saw the star of the evening temporarily extinguished under the old army cape. Time was precious, he reasoned, for the show would be moving on early the next morning, so he wasted no time on preliminaries. "See here, honey," he said, laying his great paw on her shoulder, as if he expected her to vanish into thin air if he did not detain her, "there ain't much society in these parts, but I think you'd like us all if you knew us better, and if you're willin' I'll join your show till we strike a town with a parson to it, and get spliced." The eyes of- the flying fairy darkened and widened as he proceeded, although the language he spoke was not wholly intelligible to her. "And ye'd live just like a lady," he continued: "I'd never allow my wife to work. You might, do the cookin' and washin' for me, and some of the boys, -may-be,-and=a_few-4ittle-.odd=jobs_like, that, but you'd never need to do reg'lar work unless you wanted to." He ended with a confidential whisper as to the size of his pile of "dust," which had been about as honestly come by as her own peroxide locks. A dawn of understanding began to break over her puzzled mind. "But, m'sieur, ees so vaire���so vaire " she laughed; and Hooley's heart jumped into his throat. But while she hesitated for the right word, the bell rang, and the next instant there was a twinkling of heels in his face, as, with a double hand-spring, she was in position for her next flight, leaving the big man wondering. Upon her reappearance, the audience, already grown hoarse from shouting, began, after the good, old, miner fashion, to shower the ring with silver dollars. Thick and fast they rained about her, sliding through the air like hailstones, but mercifully missing a vital spot. Then, with a. courtesy and a pi- routte, she stooped, and taking off her slipper, proceeded to gather up the silver shower. Pierre, always on the alert for some such happening, had overheard the interview in the greenroom, and the green-eyed monster had marked him for its own. For having only eyes in his head to see with, he could penetrate no deeper into her heart than the spangles on her bodice. Hooley's temerity fired the acrobat with a desperate resolve that tonight should see the finish one way or the other. He determined to grasp the first opportunity to speak, but to his surprise found it was not so quick in coming. The catch-line, which he had to hold in his teeth to keep the swing moving, precluded all possibility of speaking during that feat. He held his eyes in a long devouring look as she swung back and forth working up the momentum of the bar. "Now or never," he swore to himself, as he saw the red-shirted miner take his place beside the ring-master as if the whole show belonged to him. "Mon ange!" he wispered, when in her next flight she turned with outstretched arms to him, and he longed to drop to terra firma and catch her to his heart, but remembered just in time that this was the flying-jib act in which she hung head downward and caught the ower bar. He grasped her firmly by the J J^-f"'- to | WE WILL CONTINUE OU to ft to to to to to 9\ 9\ to 9\ Special Low Prices on all Dress Goods, Silks, Underwear, Ready-to-Wear Suits, Skirts, etc. A few Silk Blouses at cut prices.

Meanwhile, Hooley, .his hope of happiness hanging literally by a thread, stood with arms upreached to catch her, almost hoping she might fall. "Easy, easy, little 'un!" he called. "If that blamed idot isn't careful you're a goner!" in proprietary tones. The aerial artist rolled her eyes upward until they reached downward, and saw the bearded Hooley directly underneath. "But, m'sieur, ees so -" she began again; but the bar swung back, there was a shower of gold dust in his eyes as her peroxide ringlets swept above him, and the next minute she was soaring through the air to the arms of the resolute Pierre. "And say!" the'bearded face shouted after her, "I've got a claim against Murph's Dead Luck, too." "Adorable angel," the second greatest artist mutttered, for he held the rope in his teeth; and although he saw the man on the ground making headway, he knew her safety depended upon that line, and dared not unclench his teeth. He had no need of formulating his question, however, for he had often asked it, and she had as often put him off. "But, no," returned the angel, mistaking his inarticulate mutter for a rebuke for losing time. "One, two, three," she counted as she prepared for the grand finale, a high swing to the top of the tent, from which she was to swing in aerial somersaults over the head of the faithful Pierre. "But, yes," he swore, deeply; "now or never." Up, up, she climbed, like a sky-blue spider, from swing to swing, and looked a tiny atom when she reached the topmost one. "Slicker'n lightnin'!" roared .Hooley, when he saw her reach the top in safety. "Bully fer you, little gal!" jumping up and-down-with-admiration.=���r_----=--���f - The sensation of- swinging fifty feet above the ground was not exactly pleasant, even to the greatest aerial artist in the civilized world, and after taking one long,' deep breath she gave the signal to Pierre for the'descent. "But, no," he mocked, giving the swing a slight shake. "Not until this thing is settled. Say 'yes,' and you can come down." "What's that, you sneaking dago? screamed Hooley, making a lunge <*at him. "If you touch me, she's gone," returned Pierre, quietly. "A jar on the ropes will tip the swing, you know." The tableau of the next moment was an eternity to the poor treed fairy. "Hooray for Hooley!" the miners shouted. "Odds on Hooley!" "Hooray for Pierre!" the ring-master shouted, valiantly, but was not reinforced by the company. "You've got to choose between me and that greaser, honey," shouted Hooley, making a megaphone of his hands. - "Quick!" shouted Pierre in calm, adhesive tones, giving the swing a gentle tilt. "Keep back there, you fool!" the audience shouted . to Hooley, as he made another attempt to reach his rival. The situation grew worse with every instant's delay, for the swing was tipping recklessly fifty feet above the ground, and the flying fairy was beginning to see stars and comets circling through the air. Hooley mopped his forehead with a new bandanna, and waited; his hand went instinctively to his hip-pocket, but he looked at the rope and dropped helplessly, never suspecting the forcible argument in Pierre's hand. It was a mean advantage, of course, but it was also convincing. "One " he counted, with a gentle pressure on the rope, that made the swing rock like a cradle; but mademoiselle, being a woman as well as a flying fairy, chose to take her own time at any cost. "Two " this time there was a succession of quick jerks that sent the swing seasick, and the swinger commending her soul to the saints. "Three!" This time there was a long, steady vibratory thrill through the rope. The swing, the tent, the audience, the Then, with .no apparent coercion, a terrified voice rang out from the heavens: "Yes, yes, Pierre���oh, quick!" "Pea-nuts, pop-corn, and chewing- gum here, four bits a package!" shrilled the vendors at the disgusted Hooley and his companions rose to depart. Trolley Goes Through a Bridge.

Before the outbreak of the present *.vai not one of the men who have figured hugely and successfully as leaders of troops on the Boer side knew anything about war as between white man and white man. Louis Botha, Christian Dewet, Lelarey, Oliver, Smuts, Prinslo��� in fact, all the men who have carried- the Transvaal flag successfully���are the product of the hour. One French soldier of fortune won a great place in Boer esteom before he was called upon to lay down his life under the flag he had adopted. He was the only outsoldier who cut a niche for himself; no Italian, Russian, no Spaniard won for himself a front place during the two years of unceasing struggle. All the men who have risen to the front rank have been simple veldtsmen who ��� knew no more of warfare two years ago than, the ordinary Hampshire farmer knows today, yet a close study of tneir methods proves that they drew . their* ai rirations from the same source. Each leader fights to a very great ex- ��� tent for his own band, acting indepen- _e:*!!y of his colleague-. Still, the moat sh-llow student of. war history nr.rat have noticed a sameness in then- methods. They attack, retreat, fall away, scatter and unite again all on the same principle. All that the Bible teaches concerning ���- the fighting methods of the Philistines, the Assyrians, the Amalekites, and the ��� Hebrews, he knows, and knows a great deal, better than the professional soldier knows his business. He has argued about it with graybeards when he was but a boy round the camp fires when trekking, he has debased it in the family circle at home on the farm, he has thought it out for himself while tending cattle in the gullies between the kopjes. All his cunning methods he has gleaned from a careful perusal of ancient scriptural history. There is not much in the way of straightforward fighting chronicled by those old-time writers; strategy cof-iies before valor nine times out of ten. and that kind of thing appeals to the Boer, because he is built jilst that way himself. He is a great admirer of king David, Just as our (schoolboys have a boundless admiration for the Homeric heroes and for personal hand-to-hand combats, so the young Boer admires and tries to copy the slim fighting men who belong to ancient Jewish history. To the Boer, Goliath of Gath was simply a fool, a big fellow who had no more mother wit than an ox; for king Saul they have no very great admiration. He wanted David, the shepherd boy, to put on a warrior's armor and go forth and give the giant his own kind of fight. But David knew too much for that kind of foolishness. A simple sling and a few pebbles from a brook were what he wanted to put the grim champion utterly at the mercy of the youngster of the plains; and, having got what he wanted, he won. That appeals to_the Boer nature. David was "slim"���he- won honor and renown, and did what he had to do in perfect style, without running the faintest risk himself. When a Boer lad on commando takes his rifle and skulks into a donga to wait for a British scout to canter within 600 or 700 yards of his hiding place, he thinks he is a hero when he sights his rifle and touches u;e trigger which will send a bit of lead between the eyes of the stalwart Briton out. there on the open veldt. He does not think there is anything poor spirited about this action; in his own eyes he is a modern David, and is firmly convinced that the blessing of God is upon him and his work. If a Boer leader were to try and win fame by rushing to close quarters with British soldiers, it he were to perform prodigies of valor, ho would win no admiration from his countrymen; they would consider him unfit to lead them in battle, and send him back to the ranks in quick order. They believe Samson killed a full- grown lion with his bare hands, but they do not think much of him fop doing it. If the Hebrew champion had gone home and secured a bow and a sheaf of arrows, and had returned and shot the lion from some point of vantage he would have ranked much higher in their estimation. The predicants who preach to the commandoes seldom take a New Testament text or preach the doctrine of love and mercy. They prefer something warlike, and in the Old Testament such texts abound. . A favorite method of ccmmunicating orders from one commando to the other is the use of the Scripture texts. For instance, Cronje, when he was in deadly trouble, knowing that Roberts had him hemmed in at Paadeberg, .'s reported to have sent this message to Kruger by one of his burghers: "Read Job, sixteenth chapter, from eleventh to fourteenth verse." A glance at the Bok of Jobs will show the full meaning of the message: ��� (Verse xi) "God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked." (Verse xii) "I was at ease, but he has broken me assunder; he hath also taken me by the neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark." (Verse xiii) "His archers compass me round about; he cleaveth my reins assunder, and he doth jiot spare; he poureth out my gall upon SAVINGS BANK DEPARTMENT: Interest allowed on deposits. Present rate throe per cent. GRANGE V. HOLT, Manager Nelson Branch. the ground." (Verse xiv) "He break- eth me with breach upon breach; he runneth upon me like a giant." Cronje, the illiterate, uneducated farmer, could not have expressed his position in words like those if the fate of empires had depended upon his pen, yet he had the description ready, not only on the printed page but in his memory, and Kruger knew that his henchman was doomed. It is also reported that when the first lot of British prisoners fell into the hands of the Boers Kruger sent to Steyn asking what course he considered best to pursue in regard to them, and Steyn sent back this simple answer: Second of Kings, sixth chapter, twenty-second verse," which reads: Thou shalt not smite them; wouldst thoii smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master." Just one more illustration. A Boer prisoner told me that the day before Christian Dewet fooled lord Methuen by drawing him out of a well-fortified place on the railway line in the Free State, a messenger from Delarey arrived in Dewet's camp with instructions which simply read: "Joshua, chapter eight, first verse to twenty-second." That eighth chapter of the Book of Joshua is worth a perusal, for it outlines Boer tactics to a nicely, telling as it does of ambushes and surprises. HEAD OFFICE. TORONTO, ONTABIO.

May I not appeal with success to The Tribune and its owner, the member for the Nelson riding to advocate in its columns and on the floor of the legislature these two important matters which I believe are so vital to the mining interest of British Columbia.

To the Editor of The Tribune: I saw in a recent issue of the Phoenix Pioneer you published a short personal note of mine in which I made reference to the fact that in the east confidence was slowly - being re-established in British Columbia mines. Its publication and your comments thereon giver me the opportunity of writing you more fully on the subject, and enable me to present some considerations which if acted upon may help along more rapidly that returning confidence. In discussing the matter .with Canadian and American capitalists, in the east, the chief difficulty I had to contend with, has been the frequent radical changes in the laws passed by the legislature relative to the assessment and taxation of the mines and their products, and to the internal management of the working of the mines, and hours of labor. To every explanation and defense one makes to them they come back at you by saying "we do not know how long the laws as they stand today will remain unchanged, if we put our money in your mines your legislature meets every year and the law of this year may be changed next." They point to the fact that the Sem- lin-Cotton legislature passed the eight- hour" law without notice to the mine- owners in the dying days of the session and without any public discussion of the question either in the newspapers or on the platform in the election proceeding the session, it was as they say "a bolt out of the blue" to the mine- owners and miners. They also refer to the Dunsmuir government's action at _fts^flrat_^^l-ii_iB^reSi1_^tHe���tax on" the output of the mines from one to two per cent, and they reply again to your explanation, that if the legislature can double the tax. what is to prevent it from increasing the tax to three, four or even five per cent at another session. The answers which I have made to them are along these lines, it is true what you say in regard to the eight- hour law, but we have had such a severe and costly lesson from it that no legislature will repeat a. similar experiment. The increased taxation has caused so much discussion and the united opposition of the mine-owners, that there is no possible chance of an increase being made. It is these two matters of legislation which have caused the investing public to lose confidence in the fairness and stability of starting an agitation for the repeal of the eight- hour law; it is the law of the land and must remain so; besides, conditions have adjusted themselves to it already. But I do think if our legislature would at its ensuing session restore the taxation to a ono per cent, basis, and pass a resolution that for ten years at least no material changes will be made in the "Mineral Act" in the assessment and taxation of mines, and in the law relating to line (Jntoriial working .of mines, these facts would very materially assist in restoring confidence in the stability of our laws and would, I know, induce the" investment of large amounts of money in the development of our mines and the opening up of prospects. I "understand, it may be replied, that this legislature cannot bind any subsequent legislature by any such resolution, that is so; but I haven't any doubt any subsequent legislature will feel morally bound to observe it, and especially so if it finds, as no doubt it will, that hundreds of thousands, probably millions of dollars, will be invested in our mines as the result of such action. It seems to me that this course ought to commend itself to the business sense of the legislature. I am sure that every member of the legislature is deeply interested in the rapid development of the mineral rsources of the province, and will do his share toward the passage of any law or resolution that will conduce to the inflow of capital for these purposes. I may say in closing there is no doubt in the minds of these people with whom I have discussed these matters of the great mineral Acetyline Gas for Signals. Promises of a revolution in military signalling are held out as a result of recent experiments under war office authority. Lieutenant Arbuthnot of the Scots Guards, hinted at the new departure in a recent speech to Volunteer signallers of the Home District, but as to details secrecy is still observed. The apparatus which finds most favor at present, however, is a lamp for burning acetylene gas, invented by lieutenant Reid of the 1st London Volunteer Engineers. Illumination equal in power to the concentrated light of 175 candles' is derived .from acetylene gas, enough of which to last for three hours of continuous signalling can be carried in a cylinder containing no more than a gallon of water. Where constant water supply is at hand the light can be. kept going if necessary.from sunset to daybreak. ��� The chief peculiarity of this generator is the novel.; method by which calcic carbide and water "commix and commingle" to throw off the maximum quantity of inflammable gas without any offensive odors or risk of explosion. So far a considerable percentage of light is wasted, even with a power equal to more than a hundred and fifteen candles, but that gives an effective range cf thirty nviles. The inventor has no doubt that with a large shutter, giving full scope tr. all the power generated this portable apparatus may flash its rays to a distance of fifty miles or more, so that signals sent from Hampstead Heath shall be read on Brighton Downs by the aid of a telescope. Each flash may be seen no more than a mere scatch on the glass, a thin thread of light, but it will be clear to the expert reader through fifty, miles of darkness. CLASSIFIED ADS. ARTICLES FOR SALE.

The injured Chinxmen are demandtnX compensation for ihe damage to their property, and in the event of it being refused within a stipulated time, the matter will be i>ut into court. The Great Northern train was two hours late last eveniri". dismissed the case because it had not beeu shown that Curtis was a British subject, and the second marriage had not been proven. Tlie judge's real opinion, however, came out when, addressing the jury, he said that there was no evidence that the prisoner desired to evade the Canadian law, by going to Ohio to get his divorce. He went there to get rid of the injustice which limits divorce decrees to parliament, where nine-tenths of the citizens cannot afford to go, in order to be rid of unhappy marriages. Tillett Hit Both Sides Fully 1000 people, most of them men, crowded into St. George's hall, to hear. Ben Tillett, the London dock worker, speak on "Labor and the Evolution of Capital." "The labor movement," said Mr. Tillett, "aims to abolish poverty, ' but it aims to do more than that���it aims to secure to the worker the full product of his toil. "We ask for no quarter from capitalism, no false sentimentality from the soft hearted, no pity from the powerful; we only ask for a fair field and favors to none. "If Carnegie had given more wages��� food, clothing and holidays���to his employees his memory would be more cherished than it will be, no matter how many books he may now seek to give away. "Workingmen themselves are to blame for the evils they endure under this competitive form of society, for they are willing to endure without striving to better their conditions. ltr "Education is the great desideratum of labor, for if power was placed in the hands of working people tomorrow they would not know how to use it. "The trade union movement has done muchto put workers into a position to help themselves. Now that they are in that .position they must use their economic and political power to gain complete control of society. The fight will be one to a finish." ^*'*ttmmtt&*&&m&tt&m&&&&$ to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to H. BYE va**s>-s��'-'s-a,-_,--'--'-��s,,--,l & CO.

Hill is said to be reaching for the fleet of government transports plying between the Orient and San Francisco, Such an acquisition would give the Hill interest a virtual monopoly of the shipping of the Pacific coast. His interest already owns or controls the Great Northern Steamship Company, Northern Pacific Steamship Company, Pacific Coast Company, which is successor to the Pacific, Coast Steamship Company, and a number, of other lines. Could the same interest acquire the government transport service and operate the same, it would still further strengthen the position of the company. The plan is said to Involve the reorganization of the Pacific Coast Company, placing it under the management of Oscar Long, now a brigadier general,of the army, in charge of the transport service in the Pacific ocean. James J. Hill declines to discuss the subject. Has Located the Soul DETROIT, January 16.���.Professor "Lombard of Ann Arbor, instructor of physiology in the University of Michigan, believes that has located the dwelling place of the soul in the spinal column. He has arrived at this conclusion after many months of experiment with frogs. Results of the last few days' experiments seem to demonstrate that death through the medium of the brain does not terminate the control of the muscles. Thursday the professor produced before his class a live frog, from which he removed the brain. It was then suspended by its under jaw. An hour later a drop of acetic acid was touched to its foot. Instantly the frog bego.n to twitch and jerk to get away from the stings of the acid. Twenty-four hours later a tiny bit of filter paper, saturated with acid was place! against the body. The frog kicked with both legs and dislodged the paper. Placed upon its back the paper was shaken off. Every time It was placed on any part of the body the logs sent it flying. Professor Lombard calls this activity "reason movements,*' and will continue the experiments for the purpose of ascertaining how far the reasoning instinct may go. ^^^^���^^^^^^^���^���^^'^SP^^'^^^^^^'^^^^^^^^j^ % If not Why not ? to to to Are you one of the fortunate ones that have attended our Great (f\ to to (^ Bargain'Sale of Shoes ?

Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1902-01-17 |
Description | The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune. |
