BY CANNIBALS
British Force Besieged at
Empire's Outpost
Powerful Savages Fight
With Poisoned Arrows
Gallant Defence by Handful of Troops
LONDON, April 25—From Chudu, on
the 'borders of the Munchl country In
southern Nigeria, comes news of a selge
there of five Englishmen and a tew
native troops by cannibal hordes. The
Munchls are almost the only Nigerian
tribe which has not been subdued by
the British, advance. They are tall,
powerful savages and fight with poisoned arrows,-a long sword and a kind of
chisel knife strapped to the back of the
right hand^
The Beselged Englishmen
Tbe besieged Englishmen are District
Commissioner Weld, D. E. MoKinnon,
Capt. Lang, Lieut. Graham and Color
Sergt. Henderson. They have with
them a company of the Southern Nigerian Rifles and two Maxim guns. The
Munchls have been attacking them
spasmodically for the past three months.
Recently the British were reinforced
iby another company of native troops.
One of the severest attacks was made
on the morning of Feb. 1, when the
Munchls tried to rush tbe station but
were finally beaten off at nightfall on
Feb. 16. During 14 days the troops had
practically no rest at all. Quarters of
the company were on outpost duty at
the station and the whole company were
under arms every day from 3:30 a.m.
to one hour after dark. One officer
sat up every night and the rest slept ln
their clothes. A few days ago the
Munchls -tried again to beat, the camp
and now-they are waiting tor any small
party that ventures out of the station.
Expedition Necessary
A few men who ventured out under
Lieut. Graham were nearly ent offl and
had a severe fight before tbey go* back
to safety. It Is expected that an expedition wtirhave to be sent to deal with
these cannibals as the position of the
■friendly tribesmen on the border is precarious and troops defending the station
are unable to cope with raids at the
station.

REGU ATIONS PREVENT
REUNION OF FAMILIES
Charitable   Organizations   In   England
Protest Against New Immigration
Regulations of Dominion
LONDON, April 25—The new regula-
ticns of the Dominion government granting admission only to such immigrants
as are suitable for agriculture will seriously interfere with activities of immigration societies and charitable organizations. These organizations complain
that amongst; other things the reunion
of families Is prevented in many cases
by the regulations.
To Tpiscuss Situation
The regulation also stops meeting
the demand f*r skilled labor and representatives of'various societies are to
meet shoutly to discuss the position.
In some quarters it is thought that the
colonial office should be asked to intervene. Seven thousand emigrants
sailed for Canada last week.

NEW ORLEANS, April 26—Reports
received today from 'many stations of
Louisiana and Mississippi indicate that
thousands of acres of cotton have been
severely damaged by tbe cold ot last

IMMIGRATION IS
BREAKING ALL RECORDS
New Arrivals Last Month More Numerous Than In Any Month in
Canada's History
WINNIPEG. AprU 26—All the tndlca*
Mons are that this is to be a record
breaking year in the annals of the development of western Canada. The immigration during last month was the
largest for any month since immigration to -this country (began. The total
immigration last month was 33,065 of
■which number 17,310 came from the
United States and 15,766 came via the
ocean ports. The magnitude of this total makes it look not at all unlikely
that the estimates which were made
early last month- that the year's immigration would reach the 400,000 mark
may be found to fall short when the
actual total for the year comes to be
added up. Tbe evidence of growth and
expansion are visible in all parts of
the country.
The work of developing the resources
Of western Canada is going forward
with energy and with rapidity. New
settlers, in their tens of thousands are
going up on the land and widening Immensely the total area of the fertile soil
of the prairies brought under the plow;
construction work of all kinds is being
done, business is expanding and the
whole great drama ot western Canadian
development la going forward with a
greater momentum than ever. The Canadian Pacific has let contracts for two
new steel bridges In Manitoba, one over
the Asslhlholne river at Headlngly and
the other across tbe Souris at Souris.
MIUS_CL0SE
Washington Shingle Mills
Suspend Operations
Nine Thousand Men Out
of Employment
Object is to Restore Prices
of Shingles
SEATTLE, April 25—The movement
for a shut down on Friday Inaugurated
hy the shingle manufacturers of Ballard
has spread to every part of the state.
and It is estimated that fully 300 mills
now bave suspended operations indefinitely.
Virtually the only mills running are
the combination plants which turn out
lumber- as well as shingles, and the
owners of these mills have agreed to
store all shingles manufactured, with
the exception of those called for in
mixed orders.
Full care of shingles will not be
shipped until the market recovers. At
a conservative estimate more than 9000
men'have been thrown out of employment temporarily as a result of the
shut down. The wages of these men
amounted to $30,000 dally and the shut
down ls causing a loss of about $10,000
a day to the mill owners. The loss
to associated Industries ts also considerable.
Not Working for Raise.
Contrary to a prevailing Impression,
the mill men are not working to raise
the price of shingles by a combine. It
is their aim merely to restore the
prices in force before the cut ln prices
was announced by the wholesale deal-
err- on Thursday. Circulars were sent
on that date to eastern retailers announcing a 20 per cent, cut In the price
of shingles. The Jobbers intended to
lay in a large stock of shingles, cause
a shortage, and then sell to the retailers at a high figure, the loss occasioned falling on the manufacturer and
consumer. .  . -•■  '-'-!■};#'
Concerted Action Necessary.
The Mallard men state their circulars
had been sent out and realized concerted action was necessary to prevent
a loss. No regular organization exists
among them, so they sent out news of
the shut down to each of the mills In
the* state. The result was a general
suspension of operations. The Ballard
manufacturers have agreed to give notice to the other mils before they resume cutting.
The eastern retailers have declared
themselves In favor of the movement
and may refuse to handle Washington
shingles until the market becomes
steady.

Dynamite—Two Killed and Three
Wounded r"
CANON CITY, Colo., April 25—Two
convicts were killed and two others and
a guard were injured In a desperate a c-
itempt of prisoners to escape from the
state prison here. -
Shot Jailer
When Jailer Emery threw the lever
opening the doors of the cell house to
admit the members of the prison orchestra at 8:30 tonight, a prisoner by
the name of Brophy, who had filed a
key to his cell, jumped into tho corridors and drew a revolver he had concealed in his blankets and shot Emery
in the leg, disabling him. Brophy then
unlocked the cells of Johnson, Bradley
Williams and John Miller with his improvised key. Then they broke out on©
of the bars of a window that had been
nearly sawed through and using
Emery's body as a shield, Borphy and
Williams forced their way into the prison yard. They were seen and challenged iby a guard on the walls and Brophy
answered by a fusllade of bullets.
Had Dynamite
The guard returned the flre, shooting
Brophy through the head. Johnson attempted to follow Williams and Brophy
through the window and was shot and
killed by another guard.
* Williams In the meantime had reached 'the shelter of! the walls and was
lighting the fuse attached to five sticks
of dynamite which he had placed
against the wall, iwhen he was seen by
Warden Tynan, who shot him In the
le£- ' a.    j*
Tynan and Guard Russell then rushed
to the cellhouse where they found Bradley hiding in an empty cell with a bullet wound In the abdomen. It has not
been ascertained how Bradley was hurt.
Miller was found unhurt in the cell
house and locked up.
Brophy had evidently planned the attack some time ago as the key with
which he opened the cells was of Intricate design and must have taken a
long time to make,

Metaline, Wash., shot herself through
the head in a room at 11 o'clock this
morning. The room is occupied by J.
B. Fairley, employed by a drug company.! He was at work at the time and
the first intimation of anything wrong

noon hour. The girl lay on the floor
with a revolver clutched in her hand.
She was alive although unconscious,
but died just as she was admitted to
tbe emergency hospital.
The girl arrived in this city last
Wednesday. In some manner she got
the key to Fairley's room. She had
evidently started to write a note to her
sister but had torn lt up. This note
was addressed to Miss Mabel Baumberger, No. 407 Seventh street, Portland, Oregon.

of mystery over the whole occurrence
.until pressed tor evidence. He eatd he

PASSJYLAW
To Give Free Light and
Water to Y^ J.
Submitted Burgesses

Size of Cemetery Lots to
be Reduced

three readings by the city council last
night and win be submitted to the
ratepayers for ratification on May 11.
W. E. Wasson was appointed returning
officer and the vote will te taken at '
the band room for the WeBt ward and
at the city hall for the East ward.
The Exemption
The exemption from water and light
rates is for ten years. In the case oC
water the exemption is limited to $35
per month, and In the case of light to

The meeting of the council was more
brief than usual, the mayor was ln the

Messrs. McMorris, Rutherford, McDon-
donald, Mackenzie and Carrie.
School Health Inspector
A letter was received from O. Hartln
medical health otficer, tendering his
services as health inspector of schools
tor a salary ofi $150.
Mayor nelous said that the council
had no official intimation of an appointment having been made by the school ,
board.   Under the act tbe appointment g
was in the hands of the school trus- •
tees.   Hitherto some of the duties had,
been performed, by the medical health,",
officer, who could apparently with advantage fulfil the duties of both offices.
In some cases, as in the outbreak of* aa ,
epidemic, the duties of the two offices
would apparently overlap.   He thought
that the only thing the council could do
would -be to pass the application on to
the school trustees.   On motion of Aid.
Carrie, seconded by Aid. Rutherford, the
mayor's suggestion was adopted.

was passed. .   ,

COLD STORAGE
A PUBLIC BENEFIT
How it Protects   Producer   and   Consumer from Glutted Markets and
Depleted Markets.
The J. Y. Griffin Co. have received
copies of a pamphlet on coal storage
which Is being widely distributed in
the United States to counteract an agitation against the existence of cold
storage warehouses. The agitation has
been based on the idea that such warehouses injured the consumer by enabling the seller to hold over goods
that otherwise would have to be
thrown on the market In Canada
there is no such agitation and the warehouses are considered a benefit to producer and consumer alike, lt is not
thought that the consumer would benefit so much from temporary gluts In
the market as he would loose from
more prolonged periods of shortage In
supplies. The pamphlet reads as follows:
In these days of agitation against
high prices ot food products, the cold
storage warehouses are often blamed
for existing conditions, but- that they
arc really a blessing Instead of a curse
to the consumer, fs very apparent when
one is made acquainted with the actual facts ln tbe case.
Public Utilities.
Cold storage warehouses are specially constructed buildings with up-to-date
facilities for carrying perishable products. In the aggregate, tbey represent an outlay of many millions of
dollars and they are really concerns
of public utility, or common carriers,
a.i but very few of them buy or own
the goods stored.
The rates of storage are uniform to
all. No distinction whatever is made
and anyone. who wishes to do so, has
the privilege to buy and I store during
the season of plenty that; he may sell
or consume in the time of scarcity.
Everyone, therefore, ls given an opportunity to deal in perishable products
and a trust under these conditions,
becomes impossible.
Different Temperatures Required.
In handling the various products,
different temperatures are required and
these temperatures' are kept practically
unchanged throughout the time of
storage. For instance, butter Is usually held at a temperature of 10 degrees below zero, eggs Just below freezing point, while apples do not need
that much. The greatest care Is given
to the handling of the goods ln the
most sanitary manner possible, and the
rooms are always kept clean, sweet and
-dry.
For Producer and Consumer.
Cold storage houses have become a
veritable necessity to mankind, as
they absorb large' quantities ot the
finest perishable    <producos   to    the
Confidence means success.

confidence, and pure blood

season of plenty, when production is
heaviest, to take care of the consuming demand in the time of lightest or
no production, thereby maintaining to
the producer a fair price for his output during the flush, and preserving to
the average consumer many ot the
necessities of the table at a season
when the fresh article would be absolutely beyomi tbe reach of his purse,
If Indeed at all obtainable.
Eggs.
According to late government statistics, the annual crop of eggs is almost 60,000,000 cases, of which less
than 8 per cent, is stored and the balance, over 92 per cent, goes direct to
the consumer. In the city ot Chicago,
In 1900, there were stored approximately 1,000,000 cases, of eggs, and a careful canvass of the leading houses
showed that these eggs were owned
by 619.persons or firms. This fact
alone should be convincing as an argument, that no cold storage trust could
or did exist.
Prleas.
The highest wholesale price at
which storage eggs sold In round lots
was 2fi% cents, and that only for a
short time during the severe cold
weather, the latter part of December
and forepart of January. The average
wholesale selling price for the entire
holdings was not over 2116 cents. Only
10 per cent, of the eggs stored made a
profit for the holders, while 80 per
cent, showed a loss; and .the rest broke
about even.
Former Conditions.
In the days before storage houses
were ln existence, the -price of egga
In the flush ot the season often waa
as low to the farmer or producer, aa
6 cento to 6 cent* per dosen, while In
the winter months 50 cents to €0 cents
per dozen wholesale was not at all
unusual.
Under the same conditions today,
the farmer with his; high-priced land
and general prosperity, would not
bother to raise poultry, unless assured
a fair price in the season of plenty.
Butter.
Of all the butter produced In the
country, not over 6 iper cent. Is put
away into storage, while 94 per cent
goes into immediate use. Such a small,
proportion of the crop, (as with eggs),
could not -control the market on the
balance, that is evident.
Prices.
The top price for storage butter this
season was 32 1-2 cents per pound,
while finest fresh butter during the
period of storms and unusually cold
weather, did not go above 36 cents, yet
we find, In 1882 before modern cold
storage was known, that the price ot
butter at Elgin for the week of February 20th, was 48-50 cents and that
the average price tor the month was
45 3-4 cents.
Meat.
Getting down to the fresh meat
problem, we find that over 97 per cent,
of the product is for prompt use and
that less than 3 per cent, le placed
In storage. While as to poultry. It Is
difficult to arrive at actual figures, yet,
the best posted men put the holdings
on about the same basis as meats,
A Leveller of Prices.
It Is certain that fair prices must be
maintained in the season of greatest
production or else there would be no
inducement for the producer to continue In the business, and it ts equally
certain, that unless we had some extra
stocks to draw upon ln the time of
lightest production, the average consumer would have to go without many
table necessaries; therefore, the cold
storage house is an absolute necessity,
stands as the leveler of prices the
year through and makes for a fair deal
to both producer and, consumer.

WILL NOT AFFILIATE
Believes Formation of New Association
of Boards of Trade Not in   ,
'* i !      Public Interest.        t,,
(Special Correspondence.)
MOYIE, April 23—A representative
meeting of the Moyie board of trade
was held last evening at which the most
Important business was discussed, the
feature of the session being the unanimous passing of a resolution tbat the
Moyie board decline to become affiliated with the Associated Boards of Trade
of East Kootenay which Ib at present
under organization and that it remains
to exist in conjunction with the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern.
British Columbia.
This action was taken after much
discussion, the concensus of opinion
being that the. organizing of a separate associated board in East Kootenay would have-a tendency to decrease the influence 'of tne'' already
well established Associated Boards of
Trade of Eastern British Columbia. It
was also pointed out that much had
been accomplished by the united boards
and that a dlssentlon would not, In all
likelihood, further the interests of the
Kootenays generally.
A communication was read from R.
T. Brymner, provisional secretary of
tlie newly organized association, enclosing the following resolution which
was passed at a meeting held on March
23, for the purpose of organizing the
Associated Boards ot Trade of East
Kootenay:
The Proposal.
"That in view of the geographical
position of East Kootenay the Interests of this district can be best served
by the formation of'an association of
the existing boards of trade in the
aforementioned territory. Resolved:
Therefore, in view of the existing conditions, we, tbe duly appointed delegates assembled, form an association
to be known as the Associated Boards
of Trade of East Kootenay."
The new association consists of the
following boards of trade:: Fernie,
-Cranbrook, Hosmer and Michel and all
chartered boards of trade within the
district that may hereafter make application for membership. A confirming meeting of the new organization
•will be held in Fernle on April 27, for
tht pnrpoM of adopting * constitution
and bylaws, after which new business
may be brought up.
The communication asked that the
,Moyle board consider the advisability
of becoming affiliated with the new association and as a result of the discussion the above action was taken.
WEEPING HYSTERICALLY
WEZLER CONFE8SE8 MURDER
TACOMA, April 26—Completely unnerved and weeping hysterically c. J.
Wezler extradited from San Francisco
on Friday ln connection with the murder of Mrs. Frederick Scbulz, at Gig
Harbor, April 4, made a lengthy signed
confession to Sheriff Tom Morris and
the prosecuting -attorney today, admitting his guilt and throwing himself on
tbe mercy of the court Wezler made
no confession to the officers who extradited him but agreed with them to make
a complete one when the proper time
came.
Constant brooding over the loss of his
two children who were taken from him
a year ago when his wife obtained a
divorce in Seattle, is given by Wezler
as the primary cause of the murder. In
a 1600 word statement he details his
domestic troubles, blaming Mrs, Schulz,
his mother-in-law, for having helped
keep his children from him.
Appeals for Children
Welzer said he did not mean to kill
Mrs. Schulz but lured her to Gig Harbor with a decoy, letter in order that he
might make an appeal for his children.
He says that Mrs.. Schulz refused to
make any arrangements and demanded
$3000 alimony for ber daughter. When
she refused to argue with him, Wezler
Bays he lost all control of himself and
Bhot her down with a revolver which
he" had In hia overcoat pocket. He
pleaded that he had ito lure his vififlm
to Gig Harbor because he bad been
threatened with death if he called at
the Schulz home where his diverced
wife was staying at the time. Prose
cutor McMurray is making arrangements lor the administration of speedy
justice.
DIRIGIBLE BREAKS AWAY
AND IS DE8TROYED
Only One of Aerial Cruisers Reviewed
by Kaiser Returns Under Own
Power
LIMBERG. An-der-Lahn, Prussia,
April 25—The Zeppelin II, one of the
three dirigible balloons ot the German
government's aerial fleet ran away today and was destroyed. The airship
which was forced to descend here last
night .owing to a storm encountered
while attempting a return trip from
Hamburg to Cologne, broke her moor
inga today and without a crew drifted
in a southeasterly direction. Half an
hour after its escape the dirigible dropped at WeUbutff and was smashed to
pieces,
One Returns
Of the three laerial cruises that
made the successful flight from Cologne
to Hamburg, where they were reviewed
by the emperor and the officers decorated but one returned to Cologne under
her own power. This was the Parse-
val, which struggled triumphantly
against the gale. The Gross II was
sent home by train. At noon today the
gas bags were filled and the Journey
to Cologne was about to be resumed
when a BUdden squall tore the dirigible
from Its moorings, tossed it about for
30 minutes and then dropped it with a
bang that put ftn end to the monster's
career.
Gathering up Fragments
WE1LBURG, April 25—The runaway
Zeppelin II descending here struck a
clump of trees and parted in the middle.
It lodged among the trees at the side of
a cliff. The fire brigade and school
scholars turned out and attempted to
rescue what was left intact of the -machine. A special train loaded with soldiers has'arrived here and t,le fra€"
ments will be gathered up by the military.
Two companies of infantry made fit-
tile efforts to hold the airship when
the ropes broke. What caused the craft
to descend after, so brief a flight Is
not known, but it is thought that the
gas bags were torn and the mechanic-
lam damaged while it was making its
escape.
RIOTING SUBSIDING.
CHANG8AI, China April 25—The
city is quiet tonight and tbe rioting at
the inland towns throughout the province of Hunan appears to be subsiding,
nevertheless as a measure of precaution
practically all of the foreigners have
left the capital and gone to Hankow.
The governor, Yang Wen Ting, has arrived and taken charge of affairs. He
was appointed to succeed Tsen Tchun
Ming, whom it has been supposed was
murdered by the native rioters but who
as a matter of fact was dismissed because he had failed to prevent the out-
brek. The governor waa accompanied
here by four gunboats. Tbe foreigners
representing missionary societies, the
Standard Oil company and the Anglo-
American Tobacco company are quartered on houaebftats anchored In the
river and will so remain until the governor gives them absolute assurance ot
protection.

CANADA'S DIGESTIVE ORGANS.
When the last census ol British Columbia was taken, the population was
less than 200,000, including Indians and
Chinese. Consider the social, commercial and political organization required
tor that population,—the schools,
churches, business establishments, railways, law courts, government offices,
and all the officials of one sort or another required to work these organizations.
Then observe that the immigration
into Canada for one year is 250,000, is
fifty per cent, greater than the entire
population of Alberta when that province was created, and is sixty per cent,
-greater than the combined population
of Alberta and Saskatchewan in 1901;
less than ten years ago.
The social, commercial and political
organization required for the present
population of British Columbia has been
built up gradually in the course ot the
last fifty years. That for the 250,000
people who are coming into Canada
this year must be ready at once.
It has to be provided mainly by a
few western provinces that have had
already in the last few years to provide in a similar way for an Increase in
their population of something like one
million inhabitants, and that in tbe
next few years must provide for another
million.
All this new population has, so to
■speak, to be digested. Most of ita male
adults wil1 'iave votes at the -next election. They have to be educated politically. Their children require schools.
A host of men will be occupied in
stores and wholesale houses, on newspapers and railways, in banks and in
the professions.
On the whole, so far, the needs of
Canada's new population have amply
and efficiently been provided for. The
organizing and executive ability of
Canada and of her people will likewise
be found quite equal to the future. But
it will be a great work.
OPPOSED TO RECIPROCITY.
The Winnipeg Free Press, the great
Liberal paper of the prairies and the
property of Hon. Clifford SIfton, has
come out flat-footed against any reciprocity agreement with the United
States that shall include manufactured
goods. The Telegram, the Conservative paper, takes the same poltlon.
In the east this bas occasioned some
surprise, particularly among those who
thought with Goldwin Smith that the
growth of a great agricultural population in the west would tend to create a
demand for the free admission of American manufactures.
But the west has never been ln favor
of reciprocity with the. United States
in anything but raw materials. In 1891
when the Liberal party went to the
country with unrestricted reciprocity as
its platform, many Winnipeg Liberals
openly broke away from their party on
that issue; others who stayed with their
party openly denounced its tariff policy
so far as unrestricted reciprocity was
concerned. The Free Press, itself then
edited by Mr. Luxton who had always
hitherto been an almost passionate Lib*
eral in Dominion politics, declared
against the policy. The western constituencies voted the same way.
For this there were both political and
commercial reasons. In the west Canadian national spirit was strong. The
weBt even then had a vision of -panada's future to which the east had not
as a whole attained. It anticipated the
position taken shortly after by Edward
Blake, and felt that a position of commercial dependence upon the United
States was not consistent with genuine
national freedom and independence.
The market of the west, unlike that
of much of the east, had never been the
United States. The wheat went to
Great Britain and the eastern provinces.
Further than that, unrestricted reciprocity meant that manufactured
goods and supplies of all sorts would
come in free from the south, and that
St, Paul and Minneapolis would to a
great extent take the place of Winnipeg
as the distributing centre of the Canadian prairie.
Apart from the energy, enterprize
and ability of her people, It ls to the
position of Winnipeg as a distributing
centre that her growth Is due. Upon
the same basis rest her hopes of the
future. The vast railway yards and
the thousands of railway employees
have been called into being by this.
The acres upon acres of big, commodious, substantial buildings, erected by
wholesale houses, and their numerous
employees of one sort or another, are
there because of the business done from
this distributing point, either directly or
through tbe medium of the branches
wtth which many of these houses have
dotted the prairie from Brandon to
Edmonton.
So long as tbe great bulk of the manufactures and supplies for the prairie
comes in from the east, Winnipeg's
position as a distributing centre is unassailable. Everything brought fn over
the main lines of tbe C. P. R., tbe C. N.
H. and the G. T. P. must come through
Winnipeg. But if manufactured goods'
came in free of duty from the United
States, if American goods supplanted
those of the east fn the prairie market,
if the great bulk of the merchandise to
be distributed over the prairie came In
from the south, then it could be distributed from St Paul and Minneapolis
without entering the Manitoban capital.
This applies not only to Alberta and
Saskatchewan but even, to the greater
portion of Manitoba, Itself.
North of St. Paul to the Canadian
boundary, and from the Red River to
the Rocky Mountains, is a wide territory in the whole of whfch "not one city
has been able to build up itself into a
great distributing centre In competition
with St. Paul and Minneapolis. Fargo
and Grand Forks have positions on the
route from the Great Lakes to Dakota
and Montana similar to that of Winnipeg on the route to western Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta; but lt has
availed them nothing.
Winnipeg in 1901 did not desire to
repeat the experience of Fargo and
Grand Forks, She does not today desire to risk her future expansion. To*
gether with the trans-Canadian
ways, the eastern manufacturers
practically the whole financial
commercial fabric of Canada,
stands opposed to reciprocity with.the
United States in anything but raw materials or "natural products."

little more than a week distant. Whatever views they may hold as to who

B. C. Whitney's musical production "A

of William Cranston, long* and favorably
known to Nelson theatre goera was moBt
successfully presented at the opera house
last evening to an audience that packed-
the house from floor to celling and roared
out its approval of many catchy songs
and skits, demanding and obtaining many
encores. The company ia the same whlcn
produced "The Royal Chef" bo successfully
here early in the month, and last evening'*-*
performance created a still more favorable
inipra-ssion, I , I
■ MIbs Florence Slnnott as Little Day—a
servant' lady, easily took front rank last
night and delighted the audience with her
exceedingly clever and mirth-provoking
acting. Miss Helmerman looked charmingly and was especially happy in duets
with iMurce and Jay—"Xilfe is a See-Saw"
and "The Uttle Girl in Blue." Mr. Conley,
who made an instaneous hit here in "The
Boyal Chef," was the lifht of the piece last
night, and shared the honorB with Miss
Slnnott, whose "I'd Like Another Situation Ju8t Like That" will be remembered
here for many a day. Mr. Vaughan scored
exceedingly in "Drink to One Glorious
Knight," m the second act, and ln his duet
with Mies Helmerman. The chorus was
effective,' and danced gracefully and with
much spirit, and their cost inning wns
pretty, varied and most elaborate throughout the entire performance, with a pleasing
attention to all details that merits a
special word of praise. The electrical1
scenic effectB were quite out of the ordinary and wholly in keening with the reBt
of the evening's excellent and finished
entertainment. Taken aa a whole, no bet
ter performance of the kind has ever been
given here.'
This evening "The Royal Chef," with
its many catchy songs, Including Mr.
Conley's "Let Me Qo Back/' which took
so well here three weeks ago, will be
given, concluding the company's engagement In Nelson this season.

"It's a Way They Have In Chicago" is

the approval of theatre goers everywhere.
There's a reason. The menu served by
William Conley and his 40 associates is
one that satisfies the appetite of the most
fastidious. It Is claimed toy critics everywhere that this play will be remembered
when all other musical comedies are'for-
gotten.
Three things are necessary to the success of a musical comedy. Competent ana
clever principals, pretty girls, and catchy
music, "The Royal Chef has all .these
and more. It is one of the liveliest and
snappiest of plays and the action Is never
allowed to lag. There is an ever changing
kaleldeBcope of brilliant costumes ta
please the eye, and more than a score of
tuneful melodies to tickle the ear and set
the head and foot swinging.
"The Royal Chef" Is headed by that Inimitable comedian, Will J. Conley, in the
title role. His "Visa Iss de name please?'
haB become a byword through this country
and is heard about the streets long after
the play has left town. Conley is capable
of more serious work than musical comedy.
Jn the finale of the "flrst act, when he
sings "Please Let Me Go Back to Chicago,''
he brings tears to the eyes of many ln
the audience, and therein lies the success
of play and player, viz., tears and laughter.
"The Royal Chef" Is playing under the
direction of William Cranston, who several years ago was manager of the Nelson
opera house. Since then Mr. Cranston has
returned a number of times with musical
attractions and the brand ''{?» always been
the best. He admits "The Royal Chef-
Is the beBt of these from a financial standpoint and is the mode of entertainment
relished toy the public. The company has
been enlarged Bince it last appeared here
two weeks ago, and in addition Includes
Earle B. 'Dewey, Rhoda Greenaugh. and
Adalalde Mumford. Such musical numbers
as "Let Me Go -Back," "O'Reilly," "In
the Morning," "Kippanoe." "What's the
■Matter With My Man In the Moon, "As
Befits My Rank and Station," and "A
Rajah Bold Am I" are only a few of a
score of gems.
It Is quite likely that those who witness*
ed the former performance of "The Royal
Chef" will pay another visit to the opera
house to see lt again. Those who have
not seen It should not miss this last opportunity. Seats are now on sale at Poole's
drug store and everything indicates another full house.
Three splendid reels of flrBt-Tun pictures
were shown at the Gem theatre last night.
"For Her Father's Honor" ls the title of
an Interesting western drama; "Destiny"
Is a strong tragic subject that can't fall
to interest, and "Her Generous Way" ls
one of those "Imy" comedy subjects, with
Miss Marlon Lawrena in the leading role.
This program will be shown again tonight.
"The Ranchman's Wife" Ib tbe title of a
splendid picture, dealing with western life,
at the Empire theatre this evening. Other
subjects are: "Room Mates," "The Parson's Prayer,". "Dootey's Thanksgiving
Turkey." Miss Spach will sing "Alpine
Rose."
A very fine program was shown last
night at the Arcade, the subjects being
excellent. "The Leopard Queen" is a splendid Him introducing the taming, netting
and hunting of this animal. "Before the
'Dawn," a verv good dramatic subject.
"Wifev Away, Hubby at Play." ThiB Is
a very laughable subject and Introduces
many absurd situations. "Lady Helen's
Escapade" ls a great comedy, by the
iBiograph company, whose films are head
and shoulders superior to any other make.
This program, with the excellent screen
work, combine to give the patrons a very
pleasant 60 minutes. The above will be
repeated tonight, commencing at 7.30.

A POSITIVE CURE
FOR INDIGESTION
If you have indigestion, your food ferments In the stomach and bowels. It does
more: It decays, and the nutritious matter
whieh should go to make new blood decays with It, and this leads to an impoverished condition of the blood, to nervousness, bllllouBness, constipation, sick
headache, bad breath which disgusts your
friends, and other disagreeable and unpleasant conditions.
And all this trouble is caused by the food
that doesn't digest, but ferments and'ot-
tlmea rots in the stomach.
And fermentation is caused by the stomach not being strong enough and energetic
enough to thoroughly mix the food' with,
the digestive Juices.

FUNERAL Of
MARK TWAIN
Final Pilgrimage of Famous Humorist
at an End—Simple Services
Amid Heavy Rain
ELMIRA, N.Y. April 24—.Under a
tent on the grassy slope of the Langdon
plot th.Woodlawn cemetery, with rain
beating fiercely against the canvas
cover, a little group of mourners silently watched today as the hody of Mark
Twain (Samuel L, Clemens) was lowered into an evergreen lined grave beside his wife and. children.
The Rev. Samuel E. Eastman, pastor
of Park church and a close friend of
the late humorist, conducted a brief
and simple service and Mark Twain's
final pilgrimage was at an end. Tonight
he lies sleeping under a grave piled
high with flowers, the tribute oG friends
from far and near.
To New York
REDDING, Conn., April 23—The body
of Samuel L, Clemens was brought
from his home in Stormfleld today and
placed on the train which bore lt to
New York. At Stormfleld Mark Twain's
•body, in Us white garments, had been
placed in a mahogany casket. The casket was *heh placer in a box which
bore the plate "Samuel Longhorn Cle-
monts, Mark Twain, 1910." In a coach
which, was presented to Mr. and MrB.
Clemens at the time of their marriage.
Mr, and Mrs. Gabrllowitch took their
seat. On the driver's box were the son
of the superintendent of the Clemens
estate and Mrs. Kate Leary, the housekeeper. In other carriages were the
servants of the household. As the little procession went over the hills to
the railroad station many of the country
people along the way gathered to pay
their last respects.
Simple Services
. NEW YORK, April 23—Funeral services as simple as was his wholesome
life accompanied the tributes paid here
■today to Samuel L, Clemens, Mark
Twain, author, humorist, philosopher
and citizen of the world. New York
-city was but a stopping place In the
dead author's last journey. His body
was brought here from Mb home at Redding. Conn., where he died, to be taken
to ELmlra for burial.
The. Ibrick Presbyterian church at
Fifth avenue and 37th street was the
place selected for the services at 3
o'clock this afternoon and two close
friends of Mr, Clemens were chosen to
voice the grief of the throng and speak
the eulogies of thousands. This honor
fell to Rev. Dr. Henry Vandyke, formerly pastor of the brick church and venerable Dr. Joseph H. Twltchell of Hartford. . n
Although the church ls a spacious edifice, seating 1200 persons, lt was by
n0 means large enough to contain all
who desired to see for the last time the
face of Mark Twain. Four hundred
cards of Invitation were issued. Following these the doors were to be opened to the general public. After the services, It was announced the opportunity
would be given for those outside to enter the church and file past tbe plain
mahogany coffin containing the body
of the dead humorist. In keeping with
the known sentiments ot Mr. Clemens
on the subject of funeral pomp and
show, there was to be no vocal music
and no pall bearers. Two organ selections, brief prayers and a few words
of eulogy were to constitute the service. After the services the body was
to be placed on a train and taken to
Elmlra where a second service as simple as the first, will be conducted Sunday afternoon. The burial will be in
the Clemens .plot In Elmlra cemetery
where Mrs. Clemens and the children
are buried.
Typical American
LONDON, April 23—In their editorials on Mark Twain today, the English
press dwells as much on the nobility
of his mind and character ae on bis
prominent qualities as a writer and a
humorist.
The Dally News remarks that It wns
only during the last decade that the
bigness ofi his personality was fully re*
vealed.
The Saturday Review says he was Irresistibly comic but not a humorist.
The Spectator on the other hand
say8 the world loses not only an original humorist bnt also a great humorist
who never wrote a line that he had
cause to be ashamed of.
Many of the newspapers concede that

DESIGN A TRAVESTY
On Architecture Says President of the
Architectural Institute
Mr. P. S. Baker of Toronto, as -president of the Royal Architectural Institute
of Canada, has written to Sir Wilfrid
Ij-aurler protesting against the architectural design of the proposed new government block on Sussex street. Ho
says:
"The design produced by the architectural staff of the department of public works has now ibeen published and
1 submit, that for its -purpose it is a
travesty on good architecture. If It
were Intended for a Salvation army barracks or a tobacco factory, this criticism
might not be reasonable, but for a
building to house tlie official departments of the government of an advanced country, I submit the design is absolutely unsuitable and calculated to increase In the minds of cultured persons
the Inferiority ofi Canadian art."
OPTIMISM   IN   ROSSLAND;
WILDERNESS  TO  GARDEN
Rossland Miner.—There are many
people in Rossland who have little or
no idea of the excellent work being
carried on along tlie Columbia and
Kootenay road. Where, not so very
long ago all was wilderness or brush,
there are now springing up beautiful
cultivated lands, giving promise of being exceedingly valuable profit-raaiktng
properties in a very few years to come.
The outlay represented must be. many
thousands of dollars, the ultimate value
Is well nigh incalculable. If there are
persons In Rossland who believe that
the camp is in a state of decadence
from which it can never hope to recover, they should just take a quiet
saunter out along the Columbia and
Kootenay road some day when they
have an hour or two to spare, and IE
they do not return with their ideas
wonderfuly changed, it will be a matter
for surprise. * Those who have taken
un land out there don't seem to trouble
over the rumors that are sadly too prevalent. They are looking ahead; they
are the wise ones; they are preparing
for that time when Rossland shall have
attained a height of prosperity far
above anything it. has ever known,
when an abundant harvest will be
.theirs. To go out along that road Is nn
education in what can be done by energetic men in an incredibly short space
of time. Everybody is enthusiastic and
everybody is working. There is no sign
of slackness or dullness.

Doctors All Agree
That it children's eyes were properly cared tor when young tliere
would be less older people wearing glasses.
Many parents allow their children to go along suffering eyestrain
unattended to and in later years, when they need their eyes most, are

Bring your child to us if you have any doubt. It will cost you nothing to make sure.

"There is a strong sentiment among the
citizens In favor of Improving the road to
the cemetery by the construction of a
plank sidewalk for the whole or part of
the distance from the present end of the
sidewalk, to the cemetery sates," said R.
L. Douglass, who, through a fraternal
order, has had considerable to do with that
property.- "A good deal of money Is being
laid out In improvements within the cemetery hy some of -the organisations that
have plots, In -beautifying the grounds, and
large numbers of citizens resort there on
■Sundays. In the opinion of many of the
cltlxens, the authorities ought to make
the Improvements of the cemetery a part
of the city's definite policy, and certainly
the providing of a good approach ought
to be one of the first features thought
of." The suggestion of Mr. Douglass wal
brought to the attention of Mayor Selous,
and his. worship stated thst most of the
road In question was outside the city
limits, and civic fundi could not be spent
upon lt His worship understood, however,
that J. H. Schofield, M.P.P., for Tmlr,
was considering the question of having
something done by the government.
