M rris, hank embezzler, absconder, to" nsite agent and mining promoter, is jal at Conconully, Wash., awaiting extradition proceedings. He is wanted in New York city for robbing his late employer, the West Side bank, of $97,000. He was decoyed across the line from his present home, Olalla, B. C, by "Bert" Miller of Grand ForkB, who will now receive a long standing $10,000 award. Miller's partner in the clever piece of strategy was Fred Whitaker, a resident of Columbia, now visiting in New York. The story of Hinckley's arrest near Princeton, B. C , on a similar charge seventeen months ago, the preliminary hearing in Rossland before Judge Forin and the prisoner's discharge on a technicality, the Extradition Act not being retroactive to character, are still lresh in the public mind. Just how young Miller induced Hinckley to cross into American territory has not yet transpired. At all events, the opinion is held by knowing ones that the scheme was planned by Whitaker, and the task of carrying it into effect was entrusted to the other individual. They are intimate personal friends. Early in December Whitaker left for New York, his former hu.-ne, ostensibly on mining business, but in all probability with the object of conferring with the West side bank directors. Miller, who possesses a superabundance of nerve, disappeared from Grand Forks two weeks ago, and no explanation respecting his whereabouts was offered. From the sequel it would appear he had not been idle. There is not a lottbt that he must have had a reasonable pretext for inducing Hinckley to leave British territory. Miller is a smooth and plausible talker. He had the advantage of being intimately acquainted with the absconder, as well as with various details of townsite business. To disarm suspicion was no easy task. The solvent must have been some mammoth town: site deal in which Hinckley was to obtain the lion's share. The region which they visited is remote from transportation and the outside world ; and Hinckley's acquaintanceship with Miller probably disarmed all suspicion. A New York detective made the arrest. Hinckley is now iu custody at Conconully, Wash., a point southwest of the Colville reservation. The extradition proceedings required between states in criminal matters, are expected to Ih purely formal, and Hinckley's removal to New York for trial willspeedily follow. " Bert" Miller reached l.oomis, Wash., last evening. On Sept. 2H, 189!), Chas. A. Hinckley, ��'���'��� I'hs. S. Morris, was arrested in th v'cinity of Princeton, B. C, on a u arge o, grand larceny, Behind the arrest there was a story of considerable interest. Hinckley, when the West Side hank started in New York city, in the year 181)8, was made the paying teller, and be held that position till May 14, 1884. During this period Hinckley was a model hank oliicer, and was held in high esteem hy the president and the directorate, for he was noted for the strictness of his business methods. On May 14, 1884, Hinckley transacted the business of his office with his usual care and promptness, hut the next morning he was not at his desk. The cash of the bank was counted, and it was found to be just $(17,000 short. Then it was realized by the management that Hinckley had betrayed the confidence reposed ill him, and had stolen the funds of the bank and decamped with them. The bank marked the amount to profit and loss, and has since prospered. This is shown by the fact that two years ago it had $4()0,IK)<) in its reserve fund. Every I effort was made to locate the missing teller. Detectives were employed, re-i wards offend, but had the ground open- j ed and swallowed him he could not have j more completely disappeared. Tbe of-| facials of the hank learned in the sum-1 iind accordingly Messrs. Theodore M. Bertine, cashier of the West Side hank ; Frederick A. (.'amy, attorney for the same bank, and Amazi I., ('amp, came to Rossland from New York, for the purpose of causing the apprehension of Hinckley. They worked very quietly, knowing that their quarry was shy, and might take the alarm and flee if he realized that he was about to lie apprehended. A few days later Amazi 1.. Camp, who knows Hinckley well, accompani -.1 the arresting officer to the Boundary country, and there it was learned that the man sought for was in the vicinity of Princeton. The twain hurried to the point. There Hinckley was located, and he was at once recognized by Mr. Camp and placed under arrest. The officers of the bank state I that Hinckley was then about 57 years of age. and that when he left New York so hurriedly 15 years before, he left his wife behind him. Tbey knew nothing of his whereabouts until then from the time that he left New York. Hfncklev went to Columbia in the fall of 1898. He had been operating in mining in the Lake of the Woods countrv and had been very successful, it wa- claimed. At that time be was reputed to be worth some $60,000. When he win- operating in the Lake of the Wood country he made frequent trips I Toronto, and had considerable buBinesh in mines with Messrs. Fox <�� Rosa, tin mining brokers. Among other things suggested by this firm to Hinckley, who was then known as Chas. S. Morris, was the purchasing of an interest in the Columbia Townsite company. Hecanu west with Mr. Ross, and soon after acquired o fourth interest in the Columbia townsite, and was very active in its management, and also speculated considerably in minus. Beyond these facts but little is known of Hinckley's career since be left New York city. He was extremely reticent as to his past bfe, ond the facts that are now known concerning him show that he had a good cause for his reticence. Hinckley was brought to Rossland and arraigned before Judge Forin, who refused to commit the prisoner for extradition, holding that the alleged offence had been committed prior to the negotiation of the extradition treity, and therefore, that its provisions were not- retroactive. Hinckley accordingly got his liberty and subsequently left for Keremeos. The story of how Hinckley's existence became known to the bank has not hitherto been published. A detective was summone i from Denver to Columbia to work on an arson case nearly two years ago. He happened to be exceptionally bright and speedily recalled that Morris looked not unlike a police picture of one Hinckley, wanted in New- York for grand larceny. Investigations pursued during his stay, coupled with Morris' uneasiness when in the presence of strangers, resulted in the exchange of communications with the New York authorities, When the plot had ripened, ��� lorris had already loft Columbia for Olalla and the Keremeos valley. That Hinckley, alias Morris, has redeeming traits, was evidenced by his action in visiting New York, years after his flight, in order to attend the funeral of his devoled wife. He look great risks, but escaped detection. He was wont to speak of this exploit with considerable pride, since his former career became known in British Columbia, His interests at Olalla are extensive, lie is as sooiated with two well-known citizens of RosbIbiIu, in the ownership of a townsite there, as well as in the ownership of nearly a score of valuable mineral claims, HAD TO CONQUER OR DIE.

Last THE VOTE RESULTS IN A TIE People Religiously Inclined Must Waken in Time for Church Without Aid of Bell. Last night, at the special meeting of the council to discuss fire department matters, there were present the Mayor and Aldermen Caulfield, Naden, Ross, "ii'livan and Sutherland, The fire hrig d. held a meetil ^ in their roomt urevious to the meeting of the council, and came to the meeting about twenty stroii'", and all evidently prepared to fight the city orators with even greater oratory. After the mayor had called the council to order, President Bannerman of ilie (ire department slated Ihe wishes of that organization, which.were briefly: 1. A paid fire chief and driver. 2. That the fire chief devote his ���vhole time to the duties of bis office. 3. That the driver should take orders only from the chief. 4. That A. 1). Hallett be chief. 5. In the event of A. I). Hallett as chief not receiving the support of the council the department be allowed to name another person for the pi sit Inn, The mayor was in favor ��� f currying out the recommendations "f the department, as also was Alderman Sutherland. Alderman Naden favored procuring an expert chief. Alderman Caulfield wanted a Strictly volunteer department. Alderman Rosa was in favor of getting the best man that could lie procured for the money. Alderman Sullivan favored Hallett as chief, and was also In favor of making him perform other duties besides those of fire chief. A number nf the firemen spoke, and with the exception of Frank Miller, tbey equalled the members of the conncil iu their endeavors to make the fewest possible points in the longest possible time. Mr. Miller, in a few words, pointed ont the qualifications of A. D. Hallett. The discussion lasted until 11 o'clock, when a ballot was taken, which resulted in three for the recommendations of the tire department and three against. The question of using the fire bell on Sunday morning for the purpose of waking people in the habit of attending church services, was also discussed al length. Alderman Canllield was strongly iu favor of being wakened. Aldermen Sullivan, Naden and Ross did not favor needless interference with tbe slumbers of the people The mayor said he was always able to make church connections hy his watch. Alderman Ross suggested Unit the mayor's watch hadn't ueen running on standard time for the past two years. The question was put ton vote, which resulted in a tie. Itis believed that the council adjourned shortly alter this vote was taken, as the reporter left at 'his stage, and the firemen had gone a couple of hours before, so it may safely be concluded thai even the tuujibnrs ol thu Green woo I city council would not talk tn empty benches much after 12 o'clock, CITY DECORATIONS.

While all this work was noteworthy, an voicing the almost universal sense of Borrow, some of it was also worthy of note on account of Ihe artistic taste displayed.

At tbe council meeting on Monday evening tbe question of the appointment of it lire chief wan discussed, Alderman Caulfield strongly insisted that (ireenwood needed no paid officials in tbe department anil w i.-lied tbe ollice of puiil chief abolinbed. Contentions of tbis kind are not what might be expected from one who pledged himself a few weeks atio to look carefully after the city's interests. Alderman Naden informed the council that where thecity had a paid chief and driver in tbe fire department, the insurance rates in such place were less than tbey otherwise Would be. Surclv then it is in tbe Interests of '.lie city D retain such paid men ill the department, The insurance rates at tin' present tin e are almost prohibitive ill Cireenwo, d, and if the removal of a paid chief would increase the rate, the business men of the city should take a hand in the controversy and insist that a chief be appointed who will devote Ins whole time to the department's interest, and take every precaution to safeguard tlie city against destruction by lire.

Mr. Hallett has had considerable experience in the handling of fires in tlie east and for nearly three years in Greenwood, and hae given satisfaction to j property owners. His endorsement by the department Bhould be seriously considered by the council, but whether he is the choice or not, a paid fire chief is an absolute necessity, and it is to be hoped that tbe city fathers will be suf- ' flciently interested in the welfare of the town, to appoint some one of experience j to the position, and do everything in : their power to assist the volunteer force to attain the highest degree of efficiency. Sir Alfred Miner, the British commissioner in South Africa, hasadministered the following stinging rebuke to W. T. Stead, tbe English journalist who has been espousing tlie cause of the Boers. He says: " I have received your broad sheet, and ns you have asked my opinion, you shall have it, and I will also forward it to the press. My opinion is that you ought to be ashamed of your self for circulating so vile a slander against your fellow-countrymen. You seem to have made it your mission in life to vilify your country and to slander the brave men who have suffered and borne so much for their country. It seems to me a pity that you don't remove yourself to France, and offer your services to the gutter press, where they would undoubtedly be appreciated. As to a letter of A British Officer, I decline to believe that any British officer could so demean himself us to spread so gross a calumny against his fellow soldiers without having the courage to put his name to it. If, indeed, any British officer had stooped so low, I can only say that he is a contemptible coward, and I should like to have the opportun of telling him so to his face; but in my opinion the British officer does not live far from the office o? W. T. Stead. Personally, I prefer to believe the testimony of Lord Roberts, Sir Redvers Buller and other brave generals as to the conduct of our soldiers in South Africa. I don't know if you have taken the trouble to read Lord Roberts' touching farewell to his troops when lie speaks of the gallantry, the patient endurance, the good conduct and humanity of our brave soldiers. If you have read it und it has not made you ashamed of yourself, 1 am afraid nothing will." WORKING OVERTIME.

There are ninny ailments due to defective eyesight, and many people suffer through life with headache and nervousness when relief can, in nearly nil cases, be received by wearing a properlv fitted pair of glasses. Some people object strenuously to the wearing of glasses, especially by children, and express their fear that " if they once begin to wear them they are ���ifruiil thev can never leave them off again." To fight against the assistance which art may supply in this direction is absurd. Why should not they be worn through life, if by their aid discomfort is removed and sight preserved, while through their lack, vision is indistinct, eye-pains or headache prevail, and the tendency is toward tlie destruction of the eye When the eyes feel tired through overwork n pair of glasses prop- rly fitted will give instant relief and such glasses in many cases need to be worn for only a few months, and the benefit experienced will more than pay for any imaginary discomfort from wearing glasses.

Naden, Caulfield, Sullivan, Sutherland and Ross present. The fire department, in a letter to the council, recommended the reappointment of A. D. Hallett as chief, with the un derstanding that no other duties would be assigned him. M. Eilderman, the driver, wrote explaining to the council that owing to the telephones being up stairs, it was often impossible for him to hear alarms coming in. The communication from the fire department evoked considerable discussion. Aid. Naden believed that an expeit chief should be procured���a man trained in the business of fighting fires. Aid. Sutherland was in favor of appointing any one the fire department might recommend. Aid. Ross believed with Aid. Naden that if a salary was to be attached to the position of fire chief and no other duties were assigned him. the appointment should g�� to a trained fireman, otherwise the department should be made purely voluntarily. Aid. Caulfield was in favor of a volunteer department throughout, not on the grounds of economy, but efficiency. He believed in dealing generously with the department, giving them funds to encourage the whole brigade in the matter of hose contests, firemen's races, etc. In this way a more enthusiastic department could be secured than by putting all the money in one man's pocket. Mavor Jakes stated that there were three different courses before the council and it was difficult to decide the best for the city. It was finally decided to defer consideration until a special meeting ��� Friday evening��� when the firemen are asked to be present and discuss the matter with the council. A petition from the business men asking that the fire bell be used for fire alarms only was laid over until the same meeting. A communication from the Nelson Board of Health asking the council to join them in urging the necessity of compulsory vacination throughout the province, was referred to the medical officer of health after the mayor had pointed out the importance of such regulations. The mayor also called the attention of council to the habit the government have of foisting their sick and destitute upon the city and the council asked ihe c;ty solicitor and board of health to report on the matter. The medical officer of health was- asked to examine Twin Creek from Phoenix down and report to the council its condition from a sanitary point of view. The council passed a vote of thanks to the clergy, Midway band, Mr. Fur- guson ~nd other marshals, Mr. Whiteside, Mr. Mr. F. H. McKenzie, the different frateinal organizations and Trades and Labor Council for their great assistance in connection with the memorial services. After authorizing the lire and light committee to hire a horse for the department the council adjourned until next Friday night. A FIREMAN'S CLOSE CALL.

Bellamy, a lo comotive fireman, of Burlington, Iowa., " I was weak and pale, without any appetite and all run down. As I was about, to [live up, I got. a buttle of Elec- tric Bitti-rs and, after taking it, I felt as well ns I ever did in my life."

With the dawn of civilization jealous' was born, and the passimi grows stronger as the world advances. There always will be men who manage by lack of either intelligence or energy, to miss the train of prosperity and remain di- gruntled and soured tlie rest of their lives. This class is appropriately termed "knockers." In the niininf camps the knocker is found in a great variety of form. There is the knocker who has been told that the title will not bear investigation ; that the ore is too low grade to work ; that the ore bodies are pinching; that Bill Smith lias 11 better mine for less money ; and that, generally, all mine owners are suspicious characters���-unless the knock- erB are personally identified with the deal. In some of the western mining sections the principal "knocker" is the old timer who came here with the soldiers. He has never left the country, never seen the marvels that modern invention have developed in the great mines of the w,.rld, or even been 600 underground. His knowledge is gained from the little band of local knockers who hang ar.mnd the hotel and store nnd wonder by what right these new coiners change the conditions of mining. In the search for metals two men may start equal. Both locate on the same lode and work with the greatest harmony. At night as they sit by their camp fire, their hopes, ambitions and sorrows are shared. But let one of these men interest capital in his individual claim and coolness springs up at once between them. The old partner cannot understand why it waB not his claim that was thus developed. The friends drift wider and wider apart. One grows rich, the other becomes more bitter. The property may be equally valuable, but the owners are not equal in energy and push. Perhaps the best definition of a knocker is one who has failed. Do yon recognize the character we have drawn?��� A merjean Mining News. BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE Has world-wide fame for marvellous cures.
