S
Licensing Board Make New
.   Regulation.
BARTLETT HOUSE ,
UNDER DISCUSSION
Commissioners View Application for Re-Issue
Unfavorably.
At a brief but productive Bitting of
tbe licensing commissioners held in the
city hall yesterday afternoon tbe licenses of the Royal and Lakeview hotels and the Grand and Manhattan saloons were transferred; the Stiver King
hotel license was ordered to be transferred subject to the legal formalities
being carried out; a wholesale liquor license was granted Thorpe & Co.; it
was decided to prohibit women from
entering the premises of saloons and
the application for the re-issue of the
revoked Bartlett house hotel license to
T. M. Ivens, was the subject of some
unfavorable comments.
The aplicatlon for a wholesale liquor
license for Thorpe & Go. was received
from W. R. McLean, manager of that
company. It waa explained that the
company had previously had a license
but had allowed it to lapse.
The transfer of the Lakeview from B.
L. Griffith to Napoleon Mellette; the
Grand saloon from John Blomberg to
H. S, Matheson and Hans Christenson;
the Royal hotel from Mrs. L. V; Roberts
to John S. Barrett; and the Manhattan
saloon from John Svoboda and E. O.
Nelson to Caleb A. Barton and Donald
A. McKay, were made en bloc while the
transfer of the Silver King from William
Neuendorf to Norman McLeod was ordered issued on the production of the
statutory declaration and the payment
of the necessary fees.        ..
Bartlett House Matter up
W. E. Wasson, clerk of the board,
read a letter from Fred C. Moffatt, as
solicitor for T. M. Ivens, regarding the
application for a transfer or re-issue
of the Bartlett house license which was
revoked at the last meeting of the
board. Mr. Moffatt contended tnat if
the application were refused it would
result in a serious injury to the value
of the property and to Those financially
interested in it. .He made the request
that the board should give some indication as to the attitude tbey would adopt
„when the application would come before
them at the close of the statutory period dating from the time when lt was
first advertised. He argued that there
would be great need for hotel accommodation in the city the coming summer
and asked the board to name as early a
date as possible for the hearing of the
application. Enclosed with the letter
was a petition and a number of per
sonal letters stating that the writers
considered Mr. Ivens a lit and proper
person to obtain a license.
The mayor referred to the letter as a
"peculiar communication" and said thnt
if a reference were made to the minutes
of the last meeting of the board it
would be seen that a resolution was
passed cancelling the license. It was
possible that some persons apart from
the late holder of the license had suffered but that was no funeral of the licensing commissioners.
Might Consider Application
He had been, he said, approached by
one of the petitioners who was interested in the property, and asked if there
would be any chance of the board granting the application and had replied that
he did not think so unless a suitable person could be found to whom to 'transfer the license. In the latter case he
had told his enquirer that the board
might consider the- matter supposing
that they hud the legal power to make
a re-Issue.
V He continued tbat he had told the
petitioner that he did not consider Mr.
Ivens a suitable person. Instead of attempting to find a fit and proper person, said tbe mayor, the owners of tbe
Bartlett house property had gone ahead
and first tried to have the license revived and then to have lt transferred
to Mr. Ivens.
Petition Presented
Letters to the effect that the writers
considered Mr. Ivens a fit and proper
person to carry on the business of the
hotel in -a reputable and satisfactory
manner were read from J. M. Lay, R. J.
Steel, Dr. W. 0. Rose and John Hamilton. The petition which was to the same
effect was signed by these four citizens and by C. D. Blackwood, T, G.

King George Sends Message to Tercentenary Celebration in New York-
Congratulates United States
NEW YORK, April 25.—King George
V. of Great Britain sent a special message to the tercentenary bible; celebration held in Carnegie hall tonight. It
was dated at "Buckingham Palace," and
was received by the British, ambassador, Rt. Hon, James Bryce. The king
said:
"I rejoice that America and England
should join in commemorating the publication, 300 years ago, of that version
of the holy scripture which has so long
held l.tB own among English-speaking
people.
Promoted  English-speaking Welfare.
"Its circulation in. our homes has
done more perhaps than anything else
on earth to promote among old and
young the moral and religious'welfare
on either side of the Atlantic.
"The version which bears King
James* name Is so clerly interwoven in
the history of'British and American
life that It hr right that we should
thank God for it together.
"I congratulate the president and
people of the United States upon their
share in this, our common heritage."
FREE LIST BILL
UP IN CONGRESS
Democratic Leader Says It Is Only the
Beginning of His Party's Revision
of the Tariff
WASHINGTON, April 26—i'he free
list bill was taken up in the house today, and for several days to come it
will hold the centre of the stage. Chairman Underwood of the ways and means
committee, ln explaining the proposed
measure, acknowledged that it would
mean a reduction in government revenues of at least $10,000,000 a year, but
declared that this would be more than
met by government economies.
"This free list bill Is not offered as
compensation to the farmers for the
products of his that were put on the
free list in the reciprocity bill," said
Mr. Underwood, "because we do not believe the passage of the reciprocity
agreement will in any way affect the
farmers' income.
"One of the objects of this bill Is to
remove from the protected list these.
Implements that the farmer uses In producing his crop, The other purpose is.
to reduce the cost of living to -the
masses by putting their food products
on the free list"
Mr. Underwood announced that this
was only the beginning of the Democratic revision of the tariff.
"We propose to revise the tariff
schedule by scedule," he said: "that ls
in our opinion the only proper way to
handle the tariff question In congress.
The Democratic party does not stand
for tbe wiping out of the customs. We
realize that the expenses of tbe government may be borne by a judicious system of duties, but by lowering and
adjusting prohibitive, duties we will
maintain the amount of customs revenue."   -
The minority report on the free list
bill, signed by all of the Republicans
on the ways and means.committee, declares that the measure represents "a
transparent attempt at the manufacture
of political capital."

Will   Finish  This  Week—Well
Under Way at Perdue,
BRANDON, Man., April 25.—Since
seeding operations began there has
hardly been a break of any kind until

enabled to rush the work with great
speed. The first wheat reported above

Party Majority Votes Down
Royal Commission,
BORDEN ARRAIGNS
THE GOVERNMENT
Mr, Northrup Claims Gross
Derelictions Already Have
Been Proved.
OTTAWA, April. 25.—The house of
commons divided Its time today between a discussion of a motion by W.
B. Northrup for the appointment of a
royal commission to Inquire into the
conduct of the printing bureau and a
second edition of the dispute over the
amendment moved by Mr. Sealey of
Wentworth to the reciprocity resolutions. Debate as to whether or not six
Conservatives voted for an amendment
excesslng approval of the reciprocity
agreement with the exception of the
free fruit and vegetable proposals, was
even more acrimonious than on Monday, and as on previous days no definite conclusion was reached.
In moving for the appointment of a
royal commission to inquire Into the
printing bureau, and the purchases ot
other departments, Mr. Northrup said
that the Inquiry made by Hon. OharleB
Murphy Into the bureau demonstrated
the necessity for It
Mr. Murphy, on the other hand,
averred that there was no need for an
inquiry, that the matter had been attended to, and ln view of what had
been done and what would be done it
was the duty of the house to vote down
tbe motion.
The debate war. continued by T» W.
Crothers (West Elgin), who said that
most of the wrongdoing had occurred
when the investigation was going on,
and by Mr. Congdon, who complimented
Mr. Murphy on the character and the
scope of the Investigation he had carried out. Gus Porter {West Hastings)
also spoke In favor of the motion;
Laurler's Stand.
On the assurance of the premier that
an investigation would be held if sufficient evidence was provided, Mr. Northrup asked If it would be sufficient if
the following were proved:
"Incompetency," "lack of frankness
by officials," "lack of the1 spirit of loyalty," "that branches of the house of
shylock were operated in the bureau,"
"laziness and insubordination, excessive drunkenness, contracts let without
competition or any record in writing,"
"dlBhonesty," "defective bookkeeping,"
"deception," "forgery," "perjury."
Sir Wilfrid Laurier replied that if all
these things were proven there would
be no need of further evidence.
Mr. Northrup then quoted extensively
from  the  report of the secretary of
state to prove hia contention that all
these things had heen proved.
Mr. Borden's Arraignment.
R, L. Borden, speaking after 1 o'clock,
said he was surprised at the silence of
the colleagues of the secretary of state.
If members of the government were
sensitive about those matters, they
would pay out of their pockets the
$100,000 which had been lost in the
prlntin? bureau since the time he
moved for a committee to inquire into
the deficit. That was In 1008, and in the
following year Mr. Ames had made a
similar motion. On both occasions the
answers of the prime minister had been
a quibble, he declared that no depart
ment had been sufficiently inquired into by the civil service commission, but
the commissioners had stilted In their
report that they had only touched upon
the fringe of matters. In conclusion,
he said that there was no possible reason why a royal commission should be
refused.
Premier's Reply.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier in reply, said that
the secretary of state had made a complete defence and that there waa no
reason why his colleagues should not
come to his rescue. The inquiry conducted by the minister showed up
everything favorable and unfavorable
In the department. It took some time
to lay the preliminary ground work for
the Inquiry, but as soon as it was commenced in earnest there were results.
Sir WlKrld said that the weakness ot"
the position of the opposition was that
the royal commission had not been] acknowledged at the beginning when Mr.
Murphy's resolution waa tabled, but Instead It wub decided to conduct an inquiry before the public accounts committee, and that had been carried on for
some time. There wag no necessity for
a third Inquiry, and If the opposition
waa not satisfied it was at liberty to
proceed with an investigation before a
committee of the.house.
Mr. Northrup's motion calling tor a
royal commission was then negatived
en a division of 93 to 55.
Little Transacted at the Opening Meeting.
OPERATORS HOLD
THEIR SESSION
Business Will Begin Today.
Chairman Gordon for
Secrecy.
LETHBRIDGE, Alta., April 25—Rev.
C. W. Gordon, chairman of the newly
formed conciliation board which Is to
inquire into the industrial dispute pending between the operators and mine
workers in this district, arrived this
morning from Winnipeg, and is meeting
the other two members, Messrs. Carter
and Macleod, today, to arrange the order of procedure to be observed during ,
the inquiry.
The district board members of the
mine workers and International Board .
Members Morln of Iowa, and Garner and
Lemon of district 18, are here. The
operators have convened at Macleod
this morning for a preliminary meeting
before coming to Lethbridge this evening, when a meeting of the b oard is expected at which all interested parties
will attend.
Pair Wage Officer M«?-Niven Is here
to be of whatever use possible In expediting the business of tbe board. This
meeting will mark the beginning of the
real business for which the board has
been called.
Board Constituted.
LETHBRIDGE, Alta., April 25.—The
first meeting of the conciliation board
was held this afternoon in a room in
the courthouse, where Justice Scott Is
presiding over the regular session of
the supreme court ln the courtroom.
Nothins of important!* waa traaeacted,
other than to formally establish the
board and arrange for the opening of
the board tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock, when the operators will be here
from Macleod, lt being found that that
body could not get through with Its
Macleod meeting In time to reach Lethbridge in time for an afternoon meeting, as1 was planned earlier in the day.
No one was present at the first session
except the members, and immediately
after it adjourned Mr. Macleod left for
the town of Macleod, and will return hy
the next train.
Chairman Gordon Is desirous of keeping the meetings as quiet as possible,
and is giving out very little for publication.
The mine workers are ready for business, and seem anxious to dive into
the matter which has brought them
together. The operators at Macleod
are still maintaining a masterly silence.
How long this secret process will prevail cannot he told, but that an effort
to keep things as quiet as possible is
being made admits of no doubt. Mr.
Gordon thinks than an earnest effort
toward conciliation-should be made before anything like arbitration should
be attempted.
Tomorrow's meeting is for the purpose of getting the contending parties
together and clearing away as much as
possible all the small matters which
have been cauBtng friction between the
factions, so that there might be a clear
field for action with as much of soreness removed as possible. Mr. McNiven, fair wage officer of the department of labor, has consented to act as
secretary to the board, and will remain
with the work to the end.

SALMO TRADING,
COMPANY WINS
Obtains Judgment Against Trafford and
Ludwlg in Partnership Suit-
Judge Raps Defendants
Judgment waa given for the plaintiffs
for $297 and costs, less $40 exemption
in the suit of the Salmo Trading Co.
vs. Ludwlg and Trafford, an aetion dependent upon whether at the time the
debt was incurred the defendnts were
in partnership, in the county court yesterday morning. The case was partially heard on Monday and opened yesterday morning with the cross-examination of William Mcintosh, the last witness for the plaintiffs by E. A. Crease
who appeared for the defence. Jumes
O'Shea represented the plaintiffs.
The case for the defence opened with
the evidence of S. J. Trafford, one of
the defendants. He admitted the existence of the partnership during the
first months of work and said that
the partnership was dissolved on Feb.
5 at the suggestion of Mr. S. Ross.
After that witness marked his posts
with a hammer and Ludwlg distinguished bis by a blue crayon mark. He said
that during the last two iwonthB owing
to accident and sickness he cut only
2,000 poles againat 11,000 by Ludwig.
Witness said that he was not satisfied
with the count made by Mr. Mcintosh.
He figured that it was over 400 short.
To Mr. O'Shea witness said that during the two months he was laid off 20
days through sickness and six days
when he could not work owing to the
weather.
Ludwtg's Story
H. R. Ludwig, the other defendant,
said that he broke off the partnership
with Trafford because Trafford was
sick a great deal and witness cut the
greatest number of ties.
Both defendants had pieces of paper
upon which they said they jotted down
after each dayB work the number of
poles each had cut. Mr. O'Shea devoted a considerable portion of his cross-
examination to this point, asking If the
lists had not been made out at one time.
His honor also took a great deal of Interest In these pieces of paper, remarking of one to Mr. O'Shea, who commented upon its cleanliness and the regularity and evenness of the figures,
"Yes, I've admired it,"
In giving judgment his honor said
that the case seemed rather plain. The
two men arrived at Salmo without any
resources and endeavored to establish
credit. Mr. Ross arranged with the
Salmo Cedar Co. so thab-he could not
be beaten out of his money. They did
their work, received their money und
paid their bills as partners until February. Then "without the slightest regard for their moral responsibility they

"SEAL  OF ALBERTA
is a better flour, because I follow
it through every stage.   First,
I am mighty particular in tie
selection of the wheat, and that
counts a lot.   In fact, it is one
of the very biggest factors in making a
superior quality of flour.   There is a big
difference in districts, you know, and
for Seal of Alberta  we select wheat
from particular districts.
"Then  we are   careful   about   cleaning  it.
It is screened and scoured and washed.   It would
be hard to do any more than that, wouldn't it?
Then we have searched the world for the finest
milling machinery, and we have it here.  When the
wheat is milled it is tested and aged, and not a
sack goes out to you until it is just right.   And that
is why so many people say Seal of Alberta is a better
flour.   Those who use it know it is better, because
it makes a larger, lighter, whiter loaf of better texture
and finer appearance.   Those who use it know it is
better—I have told you some of the reasons why."

PRITCHARD  MAKES REPLY
TO   JOE   MURDOCK
The following la a communication
from Bob Prltchard of Phoenix:
"In reply to an article which appeared in The Nelson Daily News in
the Issue of April 20, regarding a boxing exhibition given at a smoker In the
Miners' Union hall, Phoenix, on Saturday evening, April 15, I wish to contradict a statement made by your correspondent! regarding the exhibition
between Jack Scholes and myself. He
states that Jack Scholes got the decision over me, which is untrue, no
decision being given, as prearranged by
Scholes and myself previous to the
bout.
"I was somewhat amused at his ravings regarding weight, aud thus trying
to pat himself on the back and blindfolding your readers into believing that
he Is a fighter of note, putting himself
In Abe Attell'e class, when he isn't
even fast enough to wipe the sweat off
the famous boxer.
"Another statement which amused
me was that I claimed the welterweight
championship of the Boundary since
Billy Biner's retirement, which Is true,
owing to the fact that I happened to
be In the ring with the referee when
Billy retired through coming in contact
with my left mitt In the seventh round
'of the contest for the championship.
For the benefit of clean sport, the interests ot the sporting element and the
readers of your valuable paper I trust
in future that the beforemeutioned
writer will refrain from rushing Into
print with such ridiculous statements
In order to get some cheap notoriety,
which he never ea-rncd."

In the game on the part of the people

Joe may not be much of a referee, but
as an all-around lacrosse enthusiast he
Is in a clasB by himself, and he has the
faculty of waking up men who love tbe
game but who have tailed to do justice
to their affection. When lacrosse

WHY NOT WORK TOGETHER?
What was accomplished yesterday toward the cleaning up and the beautlfl-
catlon of the city illustrates In a small
way what could be done toward the advancement of the Interests of the city
of Nelson if her people would only pull
together for the common good, forget-*
ting their personal prejudices and their
suspicions and admitting that after all
there may be some good In the other
fellow even if they cannot discern lt.
The motto of every' resident of Nelson
should be "Nelson, First, Last and Always," and all should work to that end.
As matters stand while every resident
of Nelson, The Daily NewB believes, ls
at heart as loyal to the city and its interests as could be desired at the same
time it must be frankly admitted that
there is a lack of cohesion and united
effort no matter what proposition Is
submitted looking toward the public
good. Why this should be it Is impossible to say. There is no reason for it
and there is no excuse for it
'Comment Is sometimes heard on the
fact that Nelson is not going ahead as
fast as some of the prairie towns. This
may be explained to a certain extent
by the fact that the tide of immigration
which is now flowing Into the three
provinces to the east has not yet been
directed this way to the same extent
that It will be later on but at the same
time lt must be pointed out that the
people of Nelson and tbe Kootenays
and Boundary country generally are
making not tbe slightest effort to ad-

vance their own interests by making
known tbe resources and possibilities of
this portion of western Canada, as
are the people of the prairies their respective cities and districts.
This, of course, will be taken as harking back to the old question of publicity
concerning which there is more or less
principally more, difference of opinion
in Nelson The Idea of letting the outside world know of the resources and
the possibilities of the district. around
Nelson and of the city's many advantages appears repugnant to a section of
the community. Various grounds are
advanced against publicity work, but so
far as The Daily News Is concerned It
has yet to hear of one that really has
any weight. Occasionally an excuse for
this attitude is heard, but it is always
only an excuse and a poor one at that.
But this matter of publicity is not the
only nor the most important matter
upon which there has been up to the
present lack of united effort In the public interest. Does the Board of Trade
receive the support that lt should and
might not Its usefulness be Improved
through the united efforts of the business men of the city? Does the Kootenay Lake General hospital receive the
measure of support to which it is by
every law of human nature entitled?
Does the Annual Fruit Fair get all the
assistance that the city's location ln
the heart of a rapidly developing agricultural country make it advisable It
should receive? Do other public institutions receive tbelr full measure of support? In this matter reference Is not
meant bo much to monetary assistance
as to what la perhaps more Important,
the cheerful co-operation of all in tbe
work to be done from time to time.
„ Few places enjoy such natural advantages as does Nelson and few can boast
a country of such, wonderful resources
immediately surrounding lt All that is
required Is a realisation by her citizens
that It is necessary for them all, irrespective of personal prejudices or suspicions, to work together for their city's
advancement. Once tbe people of Nelson realise this fully and set to work
accordingly tneir city will begin to
forge ahead as it has never forged
ahead before. Why should there be any
delay in the matter? Why cannot all
petty differences be forgotten in the Interests ol the common weal ?

that we provide him-with a copy of last
meeting's minutes.
Commissioners Wade and Gllker also
expressed objections to re-issuing the license to Mr. Ivens.
The mayor's suggestion tbat Mr. Moffatt be supplied with a copy of the minutes was adopted.
Women in Saloons
The question of women aad saloons
was brought up by a letter from Judge
Forin who stated, that a rancher from
Thrums had come to him with a complaint that his daughter ,two men and
another girl had been frequenting the
Office saloon and the Kootenay hotel
and were there supplied with intoxicating liquors. At the Office saloon, said
the letter, the writer was informed that
the girls became on one occasion intoxicated and there, with their companions, acted in an unwomanly manner.
Judge Forln said that he saw no legal
remedy but expressed the opinion that
he had In all probability averted a tragedy by presuadlng the irate father from
harming one of the men in question
whom he, the father, claimed was responsible for his daughter's downfall.
He asked that an Investigation be made
by the commissioners Into tbe matter.
A letter from C. W. Young, chief of
police, giving the 'acts of the case, was
also read. The chief reported that the
occurrence complained of at the saloon
took place about 12:25 on the morning
of April 14. Constables Reld and McLeod saw the two girls and their companions ln a box at the saloon. They
were talking and laughing in a loud
manner. At 1:20 one of the girls was
taken sick and was conveyed to the kitchen. She was taken to her home ln
the Kootenay hotel by the police. The
other girl also left with her companion,
No Law Broken
The mayor said that as far -as the
Kootenay hotel was concerned o'ne of
the girls, not, the daughter of the
Thrums rancher, was employed there
and that under the law ,ln common
with any othe> man or, woman, had a
perfect right to obtain either food or
drink. With regard to the Office saloon the proprietors of that place had
recently equipped their kitchen and fitted dp two boxes for the use of patrons
requiring a light lunch which they supplied. There was nothing illegal in
either men or women being served in
these boxes with food or drink though it
had always been understood ln the olty
that no women were allowed actually in
the bars. In the case under notice the
parties had not gene into the bar but
into a box which was quite apart from
the bar-room and entered by- a separate
door.

rences of a similar nature in future he
suggested tbat the board make a regulation that no woman should be allowed
on any saloon premise's. Neither the
Kootenay hotel -nor the Office saloon
had broken any law, repeated the mayor
but It was necessary to take some step
as that which he advocated. He had
thought at first It would be a good
plan to prohibit boxes but such a course
would work a hardship on certain places
and he thought that such a course
should only be taken if further trouble
occurred.
A resolution to exclude all women
from saloon premises and from hotel
bars was passed.
The commissioners adjourned until

Stanlpy street, propose to immediately
continue it In front of their prppertles.
The boulevard in front of the Christian
Scientist church was finished on Saturday. Stanley street Is now pretty
well done for considerable sections.
At the city park behind the hospital,
Harry Houston, of the park committee
of the improvement association, wss
working, brushing from Front street
southward, with the'assistance of volunteer helpers, both morning and afternoon. The bachelors did not turn out
tn as large numbers as was hoped, however.
On the waterfront, W. R. Jarvis, of
the committee of district 8 of the association, directed the general cleanup,
which wns of n very thorough order.
He also finished the plot at the foot
of WaH street
The fire brigade had one run during

rubbish on fire.
As a result of the entire campaign,

THE DOOM OF THE HAREM SKIRT.
The harem skirt, jupe-culotte, or
whatever it may be called, is doomed
to failure before It reaches the shore:1
of Canada. Its death knell has already
been struck in Paris, the home of iisr
birth. With much to commend it to
thinking women the vagaries and extravagances of Its promoters have sentenced, it to an early death. Here, for
instance, is an exact description of the
type of harem skirt which is flaunting
In the streets of Paris,—a flimsy arrangement of white and black striped
mousseline de sole, showing black satin
trousers enwrapping and enfolding the
legs and ornamented from hip to ankle
with green silk buttons the size of a
Bhllling. The trouble is that tbe introducers have made a fussy, feminine,
oriental fashion of what should have
been a plain, practical, masculine
fashion. Harry Furnlss, the English
illustrator, strikes the note that recommends it when he writes to the London
Times and calls it sensible, hygienic,
sanitary. Lord Rosebery says he can
not imagine the harem skirt being
made of Harris tweed, but it it haa
been made of Harris tweed instead of
chiffon and pink satin it would have
nad more chance of living. Any .woman
who goes much about the worldj using
motors and trams, riding and hunting,
any woman who goes in extensively for
sport, any woman who Is active, energetic and athletic, must have felt the
dangers and short-comings 06 the present universal style of skirt over
diaphanous lingerie trimmed with lace
and ribbon. So greatly have the disadvantages of this feminine garb been
felt of recent years that there has been
a decided move toward the general
adoption of knickers under the skirt.
These knickers may be of any material
but are preferably of satin, as that material does not cling to the skirt above,
In England such knickers can be'bought
in any shop and are constantly seen
advertised in the magazines, It would
be a good thing if our dry goods shops
brought them more forward and induced their women shoppers to buy
them more generally. Satin knicker:
under a short skirt may he said to meet
the requirements of decency and hygiene which certainly the long trailing
skirts and transparent underwear dc
not. ■'''

Every Woman Can Afford
Pretty Neckwear
Only Necessary to Come to
This Store
A woman who appreciates dainty trifles will be delighted with new
neckwear we are showing, if she be an economist the trifling prices
which prevail on many ot the charming stocks and jabots will make an
equally strong appeal.
It Is astonishing that such fetching accessories should cost so little.
Even if her fingers were sufficiently skilled no woman could make up
such pretty neckwear at so small an expense.
Of course, if she is seeking
elaborate and elegant neck-
fixings a woman may find
them here alBO, Some of our
expensive lace pieces are of
rare loveliness. Stoles and
scarfs of chiffon and messa-
line edged with marshou and
fur are shown for both evening and afternoon wear.
Some of these in delicate pastel tints and changeable effects are quite the most becoming things imaginable.
They may be thrown about
the shoulders or used as a
head covering for carriage
wear.
All the cleverest novelties
produced this season have
found a place in our new
neckwear stock with an infi-
•nite variety of new ideas in
staple styles, such as tailored
collars, etc,
35c to $3.50
Spring Brings a Message Also for
the Separate Skirt
For the shirt waist girl, for wear with the popular long coat, fhe separate skirt is indispensable. Here Is a tempting assortment of new
skirts emitting the latest fashion notes from every line and fold.
Skirls are again cut on straight lines, narrow, yet permitting comfort in walking. The high waist effect—quite two inches above the normal—dispensing with a belt, is much favored.
But there are skirts smart as can be,
with the regular waist line. Some too
bave a few plaits from below the knees.
In fact this season Dame Fashion has
permitted such individual choice in
skirts—provided your selection bears
that indescribable ball mark this sea-
Our offerings of the season's skirts
include voile, worsted, serge and others
of the modish weaves, made in different smart styles.
Prices are not new—they reveal the
same value giving characteristic of tliis
Btore season after season in each and
every department.

Last year with their usual zeal and enthusiasm the citizens undertook to revive the Nelaon Street railway.
Twenty-seven thousand dollars were subscribed. The directors undertook to install the system with an up to
date equipment.
In doing so the cost exceeded the amount available hy approximately seven thousand dollars. Then we
were unfortunate by having an accident that cost the company one thousand dollars. As a further safeguard Inspector
Hae has instructed us to equip the ca rs with air brakes and air Banders. They are now on one car, No. 1, and
are being installed on car No. 2. /
Air Brakes, Sanders and Installation Will Cost Us
Approximately $1500
Then lt was found durln-j the short time the cars were ln operation that the old track was in bad shape and
that a considerable number of new tieB would be required and the track ballasted and lined up.
The directors have freely given their time as well as the benefit of their experience to further the beat Interests of tbe Nelson Street Railway.
Every dollar received has been placed in the hank of the company. Every bill has been O. K.'d and passed
by the directors while all checks are signed and countersigned by the president and secretary respectively.
Equipment and supplies were bou ght by tender.
The booka and files of the company are open for the inspection of the shareholders at any time, also anyone in
terested at tbe secretary's office, at the Ureat Northern Railway office, corne r Ward and Baker Sts.
Now, the directors feeling confi dent that the people of Nelson want to see the atreet railway in operation and
a good, safe and well equipped syste ra have gone ahead with the work of installing air brakes and getting the road
bed in first class shape, knowing that the people of Nelson would respond when called upon for money necessary to thoroughly equip tbe system.
Now, If You Are a Property Owner
we want you to figure out how much 11 Is worth to you to have the street carB running.
The buslnesa men we want to figure how much the street cars in operation Is worth to them.
We want every citizen, man, woman and child to fill out the allotment form for aa much as they figure It Is
worth to them and mail It to the secretary today.
We confidently expect that the N elson Street Railway will be a dividend payer. Nelson Ib growing. The profits of the street railway will grow wl th the city.

12%
745
4, 5, and G wiieat but very little inquiry for
Nos. 1, 2, and 8, and ln the higher grades
there was a widening of spreads. The
world's summary of crop was on the whole
favorable, and there was little news in
the gossip.
Winnipeg May sold down to 93 or 1V&C
under Monday's close, but reacted later
and held very stubbornly between 93W- and
93%, ultimately closing at the last named
figure, %c under the previous close. More
distant months went off %c. Export was
out of line. The oat market was really
active for low grade oats and It Is a little
puzzle just where they are going, as they
are not being -bought by the direct export
houses. There was not much doing In contract grades. May oats sold down to iM'A
and closed 34%, or %c under Monday.
Minneapolis May was active and closed
%c down. Chicago May dropped lc while
the market closed lower.
RAINS DEPRESS PRICES.
CHICAGO, April 25.—Fine rains falling in,
the dry sections of Kansas, Nebraska ana
South Dakota carried down wheat prices
today. There was a weak close, with last
figures from %c to l%c under the level of
84 hours before. Besides the bear sentiment due to moisture where needed, advices were at hand showing that spring
wheat seeding in the northwest would bo
largcfly completed on both sides of the international line in a week or so, and the
Canadian planting would reach the huge
total of 11,000,000 acres.
STOCKS ADVANCE.
vtmi- yi-vRK, April 25—Some progress waB
made in the direetlon of higher prices today, despite the fact that the pressure
which has bees directed against stockB in
the last few days was not relaxed. A large
part of the day's business again centered
around United States Steel, and trading
in these Bhares constituted nearly, one-
third of the dealing, many large blocks

of the staei corporation, issued, after the
close of the market, Was disappointing, estimates of the earnings having been in
the neighborhood of *28,0*».00O, as computed with |E3.E19,flOO snown In the report.
The unexpectedly small figures for the
1 quarter were erplalned largely by the

CUDAHY-BREWER   WEDDING
SAN MATEO, Cal„ April 25.--E<lward J-
Cudahy, the young millionaire clubman of
Omaha, who some yeara ago was the central figure >in a sensational kidnapping
case, was married here today to Miss
Lenora Brewer, a prominent -society girl
of the Burlingame set. The ceremony was
performed tn St.»Matithew s Catholic church
in the presence of relatives and a few Immediate friends. After o brief wedding
tour the young couple will take up their
residence in San Francisco.
Today's wedding was the culmination oE
a long engagement that was marked by
many vfciBSltudes. About three years ago
Mr. Cudahy came west for a visit with his
Bister, Mrs. Jack Cosaerly, and shortly
after his arrival she entertained at an
elaborate musicals at her beautiful i*.i-
Cernlto in his honor. It was on this occasion that he first met Miss Brewer. U.s
attentions to the attractive society belle
were marked from the first moment or
their acquaintance, and little surprise was
expressed when their engagement wus announced a few months later. The date for
the wedding was set for the following
September. Almost upon the eve of the
wedding' day, however, came the news of
Mr.   Cudahy's   illness   and   the   Indefinite
postponement of the wedding. It was assumed by society that the engagement had
been broken when, last summer, it was
'learned that Miss Brewer was visiting at
the home of Mr. Cudahy's parents. Again
last fall it was reported that the-weuuing
was about to take place, but again the
event was postponed on account of the
health of the brldgroom-elect. During the
past winter, however, Mr. Cudahy's condition was greatly Improved by hla residence in California, and with the impediment of his Illness removed it was decided
that the marriage should take place without further delay.

AT THE THEATRES
After the Ilrst performance of Marvelous
"Mental" and Ms clever company at the
Nanalmo opera house a few months ago,
Manager Cole was heard to remark;
"Laughing wasn't In It, the audience fairly
howled at the many comic tests which
Prof. Mental put his hypnotised subjects
-through.'' Miss Blllle Davis is also receiving great praise for her wonderful
clairvoyance nnd mental telepathy. Arthur
Valll, the Australian sketch artist, and
Hammott, the humorous ventriloquist, also
receive a large share of applause. Dorothea
De Vere, the pretty little boilladlst, is
winning many frlonds with her latest songs.
The entire company will be seen at the
opera house for two nights, commencing
tonight.
That theatre-floors of this city are awake
to the fact thnt iho musical comedy, "The
Queen of the Moulin Rouge," which comes
to the opera house on Friday evening. Is
a production of extraordinary magnitude
and lilgh standard. Is evidenced by an
unusual number of requests that seats be
laid aside prior to the opening of the regular advance s*nlc The sale opens tomorrow
morning at the Poole Drug store and tho

seats. Owing to the unusual Interest--manifested in tho engagement, and probable
heavy demand for seats, it. has 'been decided not to sell more than 10 seats to any

(Special to The Dally. News.)
NAKUSP, B. C, April 25.—Yesterday
proved a perfect gala day in connection with the launching of the new C.
P. U. steamer Bonnlngton, the largest
and latest addition to the now large
fleet on these lakes. The weather was
perfectly beautiful, the sun shining
brightly. Everybody waa in fine spirit,
and the great event passed off without
the slightest hitch. Of the many similar occasions held here, and they have
heen many, the performance of yesterday was the moBt aucsesBful yet. Captain Gore, the superintendent of the
steamship lines, was in high glee, as
was also J. M. Bulger, the builder.
There were hundreds of people on hand
to witness the occasion, many coming
from outside points in .launches—from
Halcyon, Sunnyside, Arrow Park, Burton City and Arrowhead.
The association football game between the town and shipyard crews was
a good play and resulted most fittingly
in the latter winning by 2 to 0.
In the evening the opera house, a
huge building erected oply last fall, at
which time it waB* conceded it would
be sufficiently large for town purposes
for many years, was crowded with
dancers and onlookers. The affair was
under the auspices of the Nakusp
Quadrille club and proved one of the
most pleasant features of the day. A
prize of a beautiful cut glass set, valued
at $35, and a gold handled umbrella
were offered to the best waltzers,
M<s3is. Fraser, Boyd and Curran being
the judges. They were)" awarded to W.

JURY BRINGS IN A
SUICIDE VERDICT
Revelstoke Resident Died by Carbolic
Acid, Self Administered   Divine
Draws Inference In Sermon.
(Special to The Dally News.)
REVELSTOKE, April 25.—The jury
empaneled to inquire Into the death of
John Bailie, the young man whoBe body
was- found south of the city last Friday, arrived at the verdict on Saturday
afternoon "that the deceased came to
his death hy carbolic acid poisoning,
self administered, and in our minds we
find the evidence Insufficient to indicate the motive." The cor/oner, Dr.
.Sutherland, in the morning held a post
mortem examination and found Indisputable evidence of carbolic acid In the
stomach, mid no other conclusion could
be arrived at than the foregoing. It
waB brought out at tbe Inquest that the
young man was some $400 or $500 ln
debt and bad no means whatever to
pay off his indebtedness, and it is supposed this fact waB the direct cause
of the despondency which drove him to
the rash act.
In referring to Mb death at the funeral service in the Methodist church
last night Rev. R. J. Mclntyre pointed
out that the deceased had come to tbe.
city three yeara ago with some $900
of a bank account, and drew the inference that tbe young man had lost
his earnings at the gambling table.
"Somebody had got that money, and
whoever it was," he said, "was largely
responsible for his death."

WATER STARTS TO
RISE IN EARNEST
At Nelson Gains Practically a Foot In
Four Days—Also on Main Lake
and in Slocan
That the water 1ms started at last, after
holding back till the rise is the latest for
years, waa apparent yesterday.
At Nelaon, the water guage of the -Nel_—
Launch & Boat company allowed & rise of
■fM, Inches for the day, 7 Inches for the
two days, or lift Inches for* the four days,
after a week that reoorded only a gain of
an Inch. It thus recorded last night a
total rise above low water mark of 3 feet
II Inches.
A Wlnlaw resident In town last night
reports that the Uttle Slocan river has
risen at least 8 inches in the four days,
showing that the Slocan country ls also,
looi-unlng up.
On the upper lake, at Ainsworth, the
water hardly made any progress till the
last two days, when In a night It overflowed the lower end of the wharf.
In the next few days the water will
doubtless Tnako up for Ha tardiness.
One year ago yesterday tha water guage
at Nelson showed 7 feet 1 Inch above low
water mark. , •
