GOODEVE IS PRESENT CANDIDATE DELIVERED AN ELOQUENT ADDRE88 AND 18 CHEERED TO THE ECHO BY LARGE MEETING—OTHER ADDRESSES, 80NG8 MUSIC, ETC. The smoking concert given by the Young Conservatives In their club rooms last night, was one of the most successful affairs of Its kind ever held In Nelson and the officers and members are to be congratulated on the success. of their efforts. That such a large audience as that which was present should remain till long after midnight for the express purpose of greeting A. S. Goodeve, the conservative standard bearer in the pending election, speaks volumes for the enthusiasm of the people ot Nelson in their support of the principles of the ccnservative party and success of the eloquent and magnetic candidate whom they are supporting. Not a man went home, and when Mr. Goodeve did arrive, the enthusiastic and prolonged applause which greeted him on entering the hall and which was renewed time and again throughout his speech was a sure and certain evidence of the spirit of the electorate and their determination to land Mr. Goodeve at the top of the poll. On being Introduced by chairman Sewell as the man who stood for a white British Columbia, better terms for the province and the conservative cause, Mr. Goodeve delivered an eloquent half hour speech which bristled with telling points. He told his audience of his reception throughout East Kootenay and of the support which he was receiving, not only from friends of the party, but from liberals who were disgusted with the petty tactics of Smith Curtis and his party managers. He spoke modestly of himself. He did not ask people to work and vote, for him personally;'but for the principles that -he represented, which meant the upbuilding of Canada. He said that he found, from one end of the rising to tbe other that not only the great Independent vote, * but even liberals were rallying to the standard, determined to stand by the party that stood for clean, patriotic government no matter what tactics might be pursued to defeat the best interests of Canada. In this present fight, throughout this province and Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific a wave was arising and gathering strength that would sweep from power those who had been re- ,- creant to their trust, and would place at the helm, the liberal-conservative party which had brought about confederation and should guide the destinies of this fair Dominion to their, full fruitive. The climax of Mr. Goodeve's splendid peroration was greeted with round after round of applause and his speech closed amid the greatest possible enthusiasm. The idea of holding the meeting was to lend zest to the start In of the federal election contest which Is now under way and the notion was carried out In a most happy and successful manner. Promptly at ft o'clock president Sewell opened the ball and from that time till the close of the proceedings, the! bumper audience, which filled the large hall'to the doors, thoroughly enjoyed the speeches delivered and the entertainment provided for their amusement. A fine orchestra supplied music be- i tween the songs and speeches and was 1 a very popular feature of the evening., Stirring songs were sung by Messrs. B. Smith, Dodds, Holloway and Dodds and the music supplied by Professor Melan- con, J. T. Wilkinson, R. McCandllsh and | I Leon McCandllsh was beyond praise. One of the features of the evening's i proceedings was a stirring speech'by W. A. Macdonald, K, C. who carried his audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm. He expressed his absolute conviction that the great Independent vote of Canada would do as it had already done In New Brunswick, Ontario, British Columbia and Manitoba and decide that the honest side was the right side and condemn the corruption which had been proved to be rampant throughout the Dominion and which would cause Tammany Itself to turn green with envy. The liberals were beaten now, the speaker said, and Smith Curtis had contracted a had attack of cold feet. He, therefore, grasped at a straw like a drowning man and insisted on a postponed election, notwithstanding his own previous utterances and the fact that there was* not the slightest excuse whV "the election should be delayed. The one ghost of a chance that Mr. Curtis had was that the result in the j rest of Canada might be close and that [ then his friends might pour a horde of pluggers, ballot Bluffers and boodters Into the constituency In order to steal the seat for him. In that case the conservatives would have what had never before been seen In British Columbia, a saturnalia of the same nature as had debauched London. West Elgin, West Huron and West Hastings. This was a possibility to be forestalled and guarded against and he warned one and all to be on the lookout and to do everything possible to frustrate such tactics. Thus far elections In this province had always been clean and the people must do everything in their power to keep them so, If the election were held on the same day as the rest of Canada A. S, Goodeve would sweep the constituency, and he would do so in any event. Victory was In the air, Mr. Macdonald said,in concluding, and it only remained for the conservatives to make assurance doubly sure by working till the last vote was polled. William Irving also delivered a stirring address, dwelling on the chicanery of the local liberal representatives In postponing twice the date of the election which should have come off on October 26th and exposing the hollow trickery that had been resorted to- The result on November 12 would -be the same as it would have heen on October 26 or November 3, but the trickery of Smith Curtis and his manager, F.J. Deane, remained neverthless as a lasting disgrace. The returning officer, John Keen, was trying to Bay that the election had not been further postponed; but the statement of Smith. Curtis on the public platform at Moyle last week that the election would come off on November 3 gave that attempt at equivocation it quietus. The conservt- tives were not afraid of the result even If the election were postponed; but the possibility was always there that foul means might be and would be used by the liberals if necessary. In conclusion Mr. Irvine urged one and all t0 join together to work till the last vote was polled. A, S. Horswlll delivered an eloquent address, full of enthusiasm and optimism .which elicited great applause from the audience. The meeting closed with the national anthem and rousing cheers for R. L. Borden, Richard McBrlde and A. S. Goodeve. , ) ASSIZES 10_0PEN TODAY COURT SITTINGS WERE YESTERDAY ADJOURNED FOR DAY REASON WAS THE NON-ARRIVAL OF THE JUDGE At 11 o'clock yesterday morning sheriff Tuck duly opened the assizes at the court house and registrar Bowman forthwith declared the sittings adjourned until this morning at tbe same hour. The non-arrival of Mr. Justice Morrison made this necessary. There is a provision in the statute that, iii such a case, the registrar has power to postpone the court. At the assizes, three indictments will be preferred against George S. Coleman, namely, attempted murder, wounding with intent to kill and theft. He will be defended by W. A. Macdonald, K.C. Frank Connolly will have to face charges' of obtaining goods by false pretences and theft. He will be defended by .las. O'Shea. An indictment, is to be laid against Percy Cawley charging him with seduction under promise of marriage; but, as he married the young woman whom, it is alleged, he had wronged two days ago, It is more than likely that the case will be dropped. The attorney general's department will be represented in all the cases by R. M. Macdonald as crown counsel. ENQUIRY AG^I STARTS MR.

TIRNOiVO, Bulgaria, Oct. 6.—Immediately after the proclamation ot Bulgarian Independenance at the cathedral ol the oPrty Martyrs In this city yesterday morning, prince Ferdinand assumed the sovereignity ot Bulgaria. The presidency ot the Sebranje, representing the national assembly, and the prime minister, representing the government, then addressed Ferdinand as "Your majesty' and begged him to accept the laurel of glory as the first Bulgarian king.

These reserves number about 120,000 men. It is explained officially that this step Is taken because many time-ex- . plred soldiers are to leave the ranks on October 51th, and in view of the situation In the neighboring Balkan states, especially the Inflamed state of Servia itself, It has been deemed advisable to fill up in advance the vacancies thus to be created. Telegrams received here from the prov- . Inces -show great enthusiasm for a war against Australa Hungary, as emperor Francis Joseph's -proposal to annex the occupied provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina threatens to hem in Serviai on the west. Furthermore the majority of the population of Bosnia are Servians who are bitterly opposed to annexation. BERLIN, Oct. 6. — The question whether there is to be peace or war in the Balkans has not yet been decided in Constantinople, according to official despatches received at the foreign office today. The ambassadors of the powers at Constantinople find the situation a difficult one, because the control of affairs does not rest altogether with the -cabinet of the young Turks, but partially with the powerful committee of Younk Turks outside the cabinet. The cabinet and the committee appear to be divided in their views. Official opinion in Berlin leads to the belief that there will be no war inasmuch as the change in the relations between Bulgaria and Turkey is merely a paper change. ■ PARIS, Oct. 6—It was announced this afternoon that France and Great Britain are in complete accord with the principle of an Immediate international conference to consider the Bulgarian sensation. Russian and Italy also are in favor of such a conference and even Germany is expected to adhere to the proposition. Furthermore the latest advices from Constantinople indicate that the Porte will accept the. advice. of France and Great Britain arid await the result of this congress. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 6.—AUstro- Hunga'ry has lost no time in getting on aj friendly footing- with the "new kingdom of Bulgaria, for she has insinuated her desire in initiate negotiations for a new commercial treaty. A draft of Russia's circular note to the "powers, in voking an international congress to discuss revisions of the Berlin treaty has been completed and approved by emperor Nicholas. It is Intended to communicate this note to the Berlin signatories through the Russian ambassador on October 8, especially If the Austro-Hungarlan declaration concerning the annexation of Bosnia Herzegovina ia proclaimed on October 7 as is now expected. It is thought that the congress will assemble before the end of the three months, since the labor of preparation of the programs of various powers will entail a vast amount of work. The Turkish ambassador to Russia, Taurkham Pasha, called at the foreign office this evening and had a long conference with the foreign minister To- harykoft regarding the congress. It is understood Turkey Is favorably Inclined to this meeting. The Austro-Hungarlan ambassador also was a visitor at the foreign office but he declined to be quoted concerning the possibility of his government accepting the Russian invitation. The St. Petersburg bourse has not been affected by the rumors of war. Russian imperial fours dropped three-eighths today but this was not a result of the political situation. Tho Bulgarian diplomatic agent In St I Petersburg, Tookoff, today communl-1 catsd to the Russian government the announcement of tbe independence of Bulgaria and expressed the hope that Russia would Immediately recognize the new kingdom. Russia refrained from answering this notification. Prince Ferdinand assumed sovereignty over northern arid southern Bulgaria under the title of Czar. This title was borne by the Bulgarian monarch previous to the conouest of Bulgaria by the Turks. BASEBALL YESTERDAY All-s,tar 2; Vancouver 0. PLAYEOtRROSLtSSBALL DETROIT CAPTURES PENNANT DEFEATING CHICAGO STAR WORK OF DONOVAN FROM START TO FINISH CHICAGO. Oct. 6.—What is jaid to have been the closest pennant contest ever waged by American league base- iball clubs came to an end In this city when Detroit, champions of 1907, captured the emblem for another year hy defeating Chicago 7 to 0. Detroit, Cleveland and Chicago struggled all Beason for the first place, never being far from each other In the percentage table and not until today could the winner be picked. St. Louis put Cleveland out ot the running yesterday, leaving the field to Detroit and Chicago. Chicago's fight h«8 'been an uphill one but manager Jonea never despaired until the last Chicago Player had been retired today. Had Chicago triumphed today the pennant would have come to this city, but the defeat of the local team in the final test left no subject ot debate for the "If club." Detroit's victory was decisive. Jones used three pitchers, White, WalBh and Smith, But could not subdue the DetroitB. Donovan pitched the kind ot -ball that will win at almost any game. His team mates coming first to hat left him confident in the Initial by knocking white out of the 'box and putting four runs across the plate. Donovan's manner was confident as he faced tbe batsmen, and inning after inning with a calmness approaching nonchalance, he proceeded to make first base a very north pole of unattainabil- ity for his opponents.: Two hits In different-innings were all that Chicago could garner and a local runner perched on second base, just.once. That was the only time that Chicago made even a shadow of a threat-- This being the first time- Chicago Had' an opportunity to cheer they seized it and for a time Bedlam would' have appeared a quiet retreat compared ta the Southslde ball park. J. Atz, of the Chicago team, coaching off the third base became so excited that he intruded on the diamond and was ordered to the -bench by the umpire. As he protested with much vigor he was expelled from the grounds. Detroit's assisted column showed a total of only two, for when Donovan -did not strike out the batsman he., pitched the brand of ball that results In flies. All told lie struck out ten men. Behind him errorless ball was ■played and -hits were made when hits were needed. There were thirteen of them, a fatal proportion from the local viewpoint beginning in the first Inning. Detroit's batting alone would have captured the contest with ease, but assurance was made doubly sure by Chicago's errors, five in number. Detroit's commanding lead al the outset (lid not dishearten Chicago but It had a repressing effect which deepened as the game proceeded and Donovan's superb control showed no signs of weakening.

The feeling is that •Mr. Pugsley ought to be retired, in order to prevent an absolute loss of confidence in the government.

Because you have contracted ordinary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment Imagine that colds are not dangerous. Everyone knows that pneumonia and chronlo catarrh have their origin In a common cold. Consumption la not caused by a cold but the cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgement. It le the same with all Infectious diseases. Dlptheria, scarlet fever, measelB and whooping cough are much more likely to be contracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this that more real danger lurks In a cold than In any of the other common ailments. The easiest and quickest way to cure a cold la to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The many remarkable cures effected by this preparation have made It a staple article of trade over a large part of the world. For sale by all druggists and dealers.

OCTOBER 7 ©he ®«Ua #en«.. through the Dominion government's action In Increasing to the extent of $2,- | 000,000 the C. P. R.'s subsidy to build , under the B. C. Southern charter: "Sir. I can say that I am more inclln- i ed to believe In the absolute truth of [ every statement I made on account of 1 the extraordinary exhibition which the Olobe has made of Itself In regard to this mutter, and the bold denials it has glvtu without a scintilla of argument In refutation of what I stated,, I felt that I hud a duty to perform in connec- i tlon with this British Columbia question. The matters which I brought forward, and the statements which I made In support of my motion, were not made either to please or displease the Olobe. "I did not bring the matter forward or speak as I did to either please or displease the Canadian Pacific railway or any person else. I conceived that I had a duty to perform towards my province, and. that It was my duty to ventilate a condition of affairs which certainly, In my opinion, demanded prompt and firm action on the part of this parliament. There can he no doubt, sir, that the Olobe did take this matter up with a sudden, extraordinary and in* tense interest at the start. "Why, sir, It surprised people in eastern Canada to see the Globe taking such an Interest in this undertaking. It was a new scheme to the people of the east. No person in the east seemed In* terested In it five or six months ago; but, notwithstanding that fact, tho Globe came out in the early part of November last year and dealt with this matter editorially, It published strong editorials day after day, and week after week, and It has continued that course until the present time. "We did not know at that time what was the reason for that sudden and intense interest, we had no proof, but I am going to show that subsequent events proved that there was a very good motive from its standpoint for the Globe dealing with this matter with such intense interest. I say that its attitude has been characterized by cant and deception.' It is not my purpose to go,through the files of the Globe to show that this has been so. Time will not permit, but no person can look through,the,,f 11 eB of the paper without coining to that' conclusion". , "The Globe will not support a motion for disallowance, and for a very good reason. It Is not for the reason that it assigns ,in this editorial, or because, it believeB in the liberal policy of non-disallowance. It Is because if that act were disallowed some of the prominent directors of the Globe would fall to make that big haul they are now making. • * * * I charged, and charged It advisedly, that the action Of the Globe In this matter was characterized by a lack of principle, I say that because we cannot forget that for years past the Globe was the avowed opponent of the Canadian Pacific railway. Today we find In It the greatest friend in the country of the Canadian Pacific railway. We see it advocating subsidies being granted to the Canadian Pa- ciic railway for bogus concessions in return. "in the past the Globe has always opposed a monopoly and everything that partook of the nature of monopoly. But, sir, we see the Globe today supporting a policy which would create the greatest monopoly that has ever existed in this country. * * * * I say again that the Globe has been unprincipled in this matter, that it has been a mere political weathercock, that it has acted more like a nlckel-in-the-slot machine, that is prepared to do any turn or take any stand that Is lucrative to its owners. * * * True, I come to a conclusion from circumstantial evidence, but as honorable members know many a ntlin has been hanged on circumstantial evidence, and evidence nothing like as strong as that which can be adduced to show that the Globe was implicated In this deal. "Two of the prominent directors of the Globe undertook to sell the British Columbia Southern railway charter to the Canadian Pacific railway. "The course of the Globe in upholding the purchase of the Canadian Pacific railway for bogus concessions in return is not disinterested, but, on tbe other hand, characterized by deception and fraud. Notwithstanding al! this, tbe editor of the Globe In last night's Issue says that he Is above all these things which are going on with the directors of his company. He would have us believe that he is immaculate in his sanctum and utterly uninfluenced by what is going ou among his directors, that he knows nothing about It and is not actuated or Influenced by it In the least. Sir, I cannot accept that. "I would say to the editor of the Globe, come down off tbe perch a little. I would ask him to rid himself of this assumed indignation.' 1 would ask him to get rid of that appearance of Injured innocence which he assumes and come down to facts. Let him deal In facts, because that Is what the people want in this matter. There 1b no use In dealing In recrimination and offensive language, for that serves no purpose at all. Let him explain if It Is a fact that the directors of the Globe are interested In the British Columbia Southern railway and coal lands out there. I^et him state If, through the instrumentality of the directors of the Globe, the Canadian Pacific railway were Induced to purchase that charter when previously they could not be Induced to do so. "Let the Globe explain why it was that just as soon as the directors of the Globe became interested in this matter the Globe came out editorially In support of the scheme let them explain furthermore wby, in connection with this matter, they have abandoned principles which are undoubtedly lib: eral principle' why they are opposing the governme... construction of that line, when It would beyond a doubt be a paying investment to this country. Let them explain why they are not opposing monopoly tn regard to this matter as they have denounced It in abandoning us to a stupendous monopoly, and let them explain, above all, why, when their conduct is questioned, they have only torrents of abuse to turn upon the person who thinks it Is his public duty to call attention to the matter. Sir, until these matters are cleared up, I have no ft'ar of standing In this house, or any place else in public, and stating, what I have stated; and I am perfectly willing that the genera) public should judge who is the liar and the slanderer." JUDGE FORIN HOME AGAIN RETURN8 AFTER AN ENJOYABLE TRIP TO OLD COUNTRY ATTENDS MANY MEETINGS AND HEARS INTERESTING ADDRESSES Judge and Mrs. J. A. Forin and their family arrived back in Nelson after a \ lengthy absence on Saturday night on the Crow boat and are being welcomed home by their many friends. His honor has been on leave of absence for the past eight months and has thoroughly enjoyed the outing and j been benefitted in every way thereby. I He spent the first three months ot his holidays with Mrs. Forin and the family at his old home In Belleville. Ont., meeting old^riends and visiting the neighborhood. Then in the month of May he proceeded with his eldest daughter .to England and Scotland, where he spent that month and also June and July. A large part of the time was taken up in seeing the sights of London, especially in visiting the law courts on the Strand and attending various meetings where a large number of the leading public men of the mother country delivered addresses. 'Prominent amongst these was H. ' H. Asqulth, the prime minister. Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow were also visited and.a.vtofy enjoyable couple of weeks .were spent-at the seaside In Essex during the warm weather. Since his return.to Canada the judge and his family have spent several weeks camping and fishing on the beautiful bay of Qulnte, which is famous for Its scenic beauty, particularly « in the autumn months when the maple leaves begin to turn. Judge Forin expressed himself as delighted with all he saw on his trip; but as being pleased at returning once more to Nelson and the Kootenays, Robbed Post Office.

Meeting was a Frost for Liberal Candidate—A Chilly Reception. On Wednesday evening Curtis came here for his meeting with J. A. Macdonald, K. C, of Rossland and F. J. Deane of Nelson as his bottle holders and bearers of the bag with the cloro- form sponge in It, says the Cranbrook Prospector. That meeting, or rather the amosphere of it, would keep Pat Burns & Co. in Ice for a century. It was a heartbroken, frozen fiasco. There was a haunting sense of dissolution in the air and a silence such as creeps on people gathered in a> house where death Is imminent. Things went well enough while Rr. J. H. King was speaking, but when Deane started the chill set In. He spoke awhile in the hushed silence of the hall and succeeded In saying nothing. He had no mandate to deliver. J. A. Macdonald, K. C, the leader of the opposition In Victoria, followed and the ladles reached for their wraps. He said that Laurier was responsible for the 120 million bushels of wheat that they harvested in the west this season. That the great fault of the conservatives was that they never defined their charges against the governmnt He admitted that there was something wrong In the department of marine and fisheries and that Goodeve will make a splendid case against the liberals out of the material, furnished by the famous civil service report. But he could not raise a cheer or a hand clap. So it drifted from chilly weather to Arctic regions. Macdonald Is the Tulklnghorn of the liberal fold. Then came Smith Curtis heralded by tin thunder from the wings, the common theatrical thunder produced by some fellow Bhakfng a sheet of paper in the wings of the stage. The wild applause, that's what they will call it, lasted for every second of ten, and then Curtis launched Into a compliment ot a most involved character to the ladles present. ' He appeared to get tangled up in his smiles and ended that part of his speech by saying something about making this province a white man's, or a white woman's country with blond hair. No one understood what he meant, and a few smiled feebly as tf they felt there was some kind 0t' a Joke concealed on the premises. Here the cold reached zero, or near It. To warm it up he referred to the gas buoys that were of so groat use to the navigation of the St. Lawrence, that they helped save two mud scows from the horrors of a wattery grave. Therefore, vote for gas buoys. (We are deeply interested in gas buoys out here.) Then he turned to a portrait of Laurier at the back of the platform and asked the people to gaze on that noble countenance, and having gazed, to ask themselves in their souls, could a man with so lofty a Goodeve Meetings Mr. A. S. Goodeve, the conservative candidate In Kootenay for the bouse of commons, will address meetings in the riding as follows: Slocan City, Wednesday Oct. 7; New Denver, Thursday Oct.

It was absurd. Then give your votes t0 that noble countenance. The trade in 1896 waa so much, and the trade in 1906 was so much more. Who made that trade? Laurier. Therefore vote for Laurier. By this time the audience had grown tired, and wearied and perished, anil disgusted, and sleepy and home they went. That Is what Smith Curtis ought to do, go home and keep himself quiet.

It was known that, the principal promoters of the Crow's Nest deal were supporters of the Laurier government. It was understood that the same men financially controlled the Globe.

Dear Slrn—Your traveller Is here- today and we urn gettlns n inept*, quanlitv of your MINARD'S LINIMENT. We find it the best 1 nlment In tlia market making no exception. Wo have been In business 13 years and have handled nill kinds, but have dropped them till but yours; that pells Itself; the others have to be pushed to get rid of. M. A. HAQERMAN. putatlon by this barefaced raid, which bore no resemblance to newspaper advocacy of a public interest and was simply the pushing of a private interest, That that raid did anything to turn public opinion In favor of the deal, we cannot imagine, with such an Intelligent and high-minded public as that to which tbe Globe addresses itself, The effect must have heen precisely the opposite, and must have greatly weakened the allegiance of many of the party which the Globe supported. "An illustration of this we thought we observed in the then editor of the Globe, who was up till then—shall we say after that?—an enthusiastic supporter of the liberal party and of its leader. We should have been more convinced of this had Mr. Willlson not changed his views on questions of abstract principle as well as on the merits of parties und leaders. "Without waiting for what Mr. Willlson may have to say, by way of explanation, we may say that the broadsides in question were not editorial and may have been looked on as advertisements to be paid tor, as Mr. Uublin avers they were paid for, in a very unriusual way, and on a very unusual scale. "In so far as the proprietors of the one enterprise were also proprietors of the other, that was simply transferring values from cue pocket to another, possibly to a pocket with holes in it. "It 1b also to be said for Mr. Willlson, that whether he did or did not at tbe time hand in his resignation, he did some time after transfer his services." EVIDENCE OF WEAKNESS. One of the most striking evidences of the Laurier government's weakness is the manner in which its members are going up and down the country promising anything and everything In sight If the people will only give them another term In offlce. Sir Wilfrid Laurier 1b the leading promise maker. Since the campaign opened he haB promised the people of western Canada that he will build a railway to Hudson bay, the people of the Niagara peninsula that he will have the Welland canal deepened, the people of North Bay that he will have the Georgian bay canal constructed, the people of Berlin that he will make Mr. William Lyon MacKenzie King minister of labor if they will only elect that young man to parliament. All these and many more smaller brlbeB of a similar nature has he held out to the people of Canada to induce them to forget his government's record of maladministration, extravagance and graft and return Win to power again. But Sir Wilfrid Is not doing all the promising. The other members of his cabinet as well a» his supporters throughout the country are also doing their Bhave. Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux, for example, has promised the country free rural mall delivery and the i same minister has offered the people of Berlin a brand new clock for the post office building if they will only elect the government candidate, Mr. William Lyon MacKenzie' King, whose cause apparently needs considerable bolstering up. Promises of public works of various kinds, tooth great and small, involving the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars are being held out to the electors all over the country. Sir Wilfrid has seen fit to descend from the high pedestal of statesmanship on which his friends have" placed him, and la making a barefaced attempt to bribe Ihe people of Canada with their own money to return him to power tn order that the Siftons,'.the Turrlffs, the Ad- amsons, the Hltchcocks, the McGregors, the Malcolm MacKenzles, the BurrowBes, the Frasers, the Coxes, the Jaffrays and others, who havjj,-already grown rich through their TaM^on the public domain, may further batten at the expense ot the people of Canada. Sir Wilfrid's course in the campaign cannot but be humiliating In the extreme to every Canadian who takes any pride in his country, but particularly to those among his followers who have, heretofore looked up to him aB being above the ordinary run of politicians. This policy of wholesale bribery on the part of Sir Wilfrid-ta proving a rude awakening to whose faith In public men would lead them to expect that a man who had been entrusted with the premiership of this great Dominion would ,bo above such methods; It serves to Bhow, however, the lengths to which the government finds -Itself driven in its endeavor to retain the reigns of power. Not daring to ask for a verdict from the people on Its record, it is trying to buy Its way back [Into the power, using the people's own money to accomplish this object. MEN TO BE COMPLEMENTED.

All that day they run, pausing nt Intervals to get their breath una at night rented, ■because they must. When the' light cama •upon the following morning they looked hack from a little bill and Baw the outposts of tbe Aslkl advancing not a mile behind. iJoubtleBa «oiiii of the army had been burned, but the rent gueselng th<'lr route. sad forced a-way through the reeds and cut acroHB country. So they, begun to run again harder than ever, and kept their fend during the morning; but when atter- qfoon came the Aslkl gained on them. Now they were breasting a long tlse, the river tunning In the cleft beneath, und JeeMi vjho seemed to be absolutely untiring, held jUun by the hand, Fahni following close Behind. Two of tlieir men had fallen down and been abandoned and the rest struggled. "No go, Jeeki," gueped Alan, "they will catch us al the top of tlio bill," , "Never say die, major, never aay die,' Etiffed Jeekl, "they get blown too and who now wltut other side of hilt?" Somehow they struggled to the creat of the hlh and behold! there beneath them wan * great army of men, ■ . "Ogulu!" yelled Jeekl, "Ogulu! Just what 1 told you major, who knows what other »lde of hill?" CHAPTER XXIV. A Meeting In tlie Forest in five minutes more they were among the Ogula, who, having —recognized their chief while he was yet aomo wuy off. greeted him with ruptornua cheers and the clapping of hands. Then uu there was no time for explanations, they retreated across a little stream which run down the valley, four thousand or mora of them, und prepared for battle.' That evening, however, there was no fighting, for when tho riret of the Aslkl reached tile top of the' rifle nnd say that the fugitives hud escuiK-d to the enemy, who. were In Strength, they halted and finully retired. Now Alun, and Fnl.nl uIbo, hoped that the pursuit waa abandoned but again Jeekl shook his big head, saying: "Not at ah. major, I know Aniki und their little ways. While one of them alive, not dare go back to Asiki without yon, major." "Perhaps she Is with them herself," suggested Alan, "and w« might treat with her." "No, major; Aslkl never leave Bonsa- Town, that against law, and If she do so priests muwe another Aslkl and will kill her when they catch her." After that a council of war was held, and It was decided to camp there timt night, since the position was good to meet an uttack At jc-no should be made and the Ogiilu, were afraid of being caught on the march with their hacks towurda the enemy. Alun wus glad enough to bear this decision foi* be' was quite worn out and ready to take any risk for a few houra' rest. At this council he learned also that tbe Aslka' bearers, carrying his gold with their Ogula guides, hod arrived safely among the Ogulu, who bad mustered In answer.to their chief's call and were advancing towards Aslkl- land, though the business was one that did not pieaBe them. As they were leaving the council, Alan asked Jeekl if he had any tidings of his mother, who had been their first messenger. "No, major," he answered gloomily, ''can't learri nothing of my ma, don't know •where she is. Ogula camp no place for old girl if they short of chop. But perhaps she never get there; I nose around and find out. Apparently Jeeki did "nose around" t( some purpose, for Just as Alan waa drop' ping oft to sleep In his bough shelter, a most fearful din arose without, through which he recognized the vociferations of Jeekl. Running out of the shelter he discovered his retainer and a great Ogula, whom he knew again as,the headman who had been Imprisoned with him and freed by the Aslka to guide the bearers, rolling over nnd over on the ground, watched by a curious crowd. Jufll as he arrived, Jeekl, who notwithstanding his years was a man of enormous strength, got the better of tho Ogula und kneeling on his stomach, was proceeding to throttle him. Rushing at him Alun dragged him off und asked What, was the matter. "Matter, maior!" yelled th« indignant Jeekl. "Mv ma inside that black villain, that all. Dirty cannibal got digestion of one ostrich nnd eut her up with his mates, nil except one who not like her taste and lell me. They catch poor old lady asleep by road and stop and lunch Hi once when Aalkl heurers not looking; Let me go at him, major, let hie get at him. If I can t bury my tha, us nil good sort ought to do, I bury him. which next best thing." "Jeekl, Jeekl," aald Alan, "exercise a Christian spirit and let bygones be bygones. If you don't, you will make u quarrel between us and the Ogula, ami they.will give us up to tlie Aslkl. Perhaps the man did not eat your mother, I understand that he denies ii, and when you remember what sin- was like, It seems Incredible. At any rat- he has a right to a trial, and I will speak to Fahni about It tomorrow." So they were separated, but as it chanced that case never came on, for next morning this Ogulu waa killed In the fighting with two of his companions, while the others Involved in the charg'- kept themselves out of sight. Whether Jeekl's "ma" was or was not eaten by the Ogula no one ever learned for certain. At least, she was never heard of any more. Alan was sleeping heavily when a sound of rushing feet nnd of strange, thrilling battle cries awoke him. He sprang up, snatching at a spear and shield which Jeekl had provided for him, and ran out to find from the position of the moon, that dawn was near. "Come on. major," suld Jeeki: "the Aslkl make night attack; they ulways like do everything at night who love darkness because their eye evil. Come on, quick major," and he begun to drug him to the rear. "Rut that's wrong way." said Alan presently. "They are attacking over there." "Do you think Jeeki a fool, major, that he don't know that? He take you where they not attacking. Plenty Ogula to. he killed, but not many white men like you, and In all the world, only one Jeeki." "You cold-blooded old scoundrel!': ejaculated Alan, as he turned and bolted bnok towards the noise of fighting, followed by his reluctant servant.

FERNIE, Oct, ti-Beais have been so plentiful this season and have venture! ao near the settlements in the district that many local' sportsmen have been making successful trips into the surrounding mountains in (search of tho big game. One of these excursions today narrowly escaped ending in a tragedy, and as it is the hunter lies in the hospital here tonight sufferings from several severe wounds inflicted' by an infuriated animal he had wounded. Frank Pride, a driver in the employ of P. Burns and company In Ferule, this mom Ing went down to the Wood-McNob Lumber company's limits, a few miles north uf here, where several bears had be'.*n seen lately, and soon discovered the tracks; About two miles above the mill he cumo ■upon three of them, and though he shot one, It escaped Into the brush. Ho tracked the animal for a couplo of hours and was about to give up the chase, when hi entering some heavy underbrush he came suddenly upon his quarry which was but a gun's length from him. He fired point blank at the beast, but before lie could got out of the wuy, it struck li!m a heavy blow on the head which felled him to the ground and before he could recover himself tlie maddened animal hud inflicted some terrible wounds with Its teeth and claws. Tho Injured man fought as best he could In the unequal contest and though of powerful physique, was rap illy becoming exhausted from loss of blood, when the animal for some unaccountable reason, left Its 'prey and wandered Into the bush, hastened by a parting shot from the riile of the wounded man. 'Price bound up his wounds us well as ho was able and dragged himself for some distance down the mountain side where he was discovered by another hunter from Fernle, who assisted him, to tho lumber mill, where u conveyance was secured and the injured man ut once driven Into Fernle and his wounds dressed by Dr. Corsan. He had an ugly looking wound on the left leg above the knee, a badly lacerated foot, and a deep wound In the right hand, all Inflicted by the animal's teeth, while there were several minor cuts, Inflicted by the animal's claws. The unfortunate man was very weak from loss of blood and the terrible experience through which he bad passed, but If no complications set In he will probably be around again in a couple of weeks. The congregation of the Methodist church held the usual Sabbath services in a commodious and comfortable temporary building which has been erected on the site formerly occupied by the old church -The Catholic church will be ready by next Sunday, it Is expected, hut the Anglican church services wilil he conducted In a tent for a few more weeks, while the foundations and a temporary roof are being put on the new building. QUANTITY NOT QUALITY. Points Awarded in District Fruit Prize at Recent Exhibition. In The Daily News of September 25 an easily made mistake crept into the account given of how the district prize was won at the Nelson exhibition hy KubIo. "^. In describing the points given for each exhibit the word "quality" should have read "quantity" referring to the number of plates of fruit In one exhibit. At one time there whb no opportunity to judge of one quality, the fruit for the most part not being fully matured. Judge Porter of Hood River calls attention to the slip, which unless set right might causse trouble next year at tho exhibition.
