A short swift trial, a quick sentence and it will be a still swifter execution, is the lot of President McKinley's ass- asin. He will be electrocuted on Monday, Oct 28th. Neil Gething, of Slocan City, is going to run things at the Red Fox mine at McGuigan during the absence of Geo. Aylard.

There is in Toronto a little casket which for years has been an object of tender solicitude. It is small and elegant, and has been placed in many prominent places in the mansion it now graces. Sometimes it rests upon the marble- lopped mantle in the library, sometimes on the onyx table in the parlor, but ever at night it is securely laid away. Mounted with jewels and elegant in form and trappings, the lid raised reveals the real object of veneration���a single human hair. A relative of this Toronto lady who at present venerates this bit of caput covering was wise in her day and generation, and when King Edward, who was then Prince of Wales, came thru Ontario, she ascertained where he would perform his absolutions in a certain town not far from Toronto. Then she offered to provide a magnificent comb and brush. The offer was accepted. Hastening to the room after the washing, combing, and brushing of the princely person, she closely scanned the bristles, which had never before been across a human noodle. And there���what extasy!���there was a hair that the prince had shed! What a cappilarical, hairsutieal, incomprehensible unbuyable, unbreakable, bendable, stealable, irreplaceable, longedforable treasure. A real hair from the King's Ko-Ko! A real think tank protector from the head of the Ruler of Britain, and Emperor beyond the seas, a hair from the spot that the crown roosts on, a hair from the head that nods and millions answer, a hair from the head that never uncovers unless the owner feels jolly well like it. One scintillation from the Royal Dome of Thot! And when she realized it all she pressed it to her heart, smiled at it, laughed over it, kissed it, and then rested it in its present costly little home. Pretty soft for the hair, eh? Killed by a Bear. Dan Rice, a prospector and hunter, of Kaslo, met his death on Friday of last week in an encounter with a bear. He went up Milford creek on that day with Gus Adams on a bear hunting trip. After the pair had been out some time they became separated, and Adams not finding him at the camp when he returned, became alarmed and returned to Kaslo on Saturday. He formed a party of ten men. who left that night, and on Sunday they formed a search I which was rewarded by finding Rice's body in a badly mangled condition. From appearances he had stepped over a log on top of a large silver-tip, which had attacked him, breaking his right arm. It had also struck him in the head, tearing away his entire face and forehead, and tearing the skull back so as to expose the brain. The left arm was also chewed badly. Death must have been instantaneous. Rice had not even time to fire his gun, which was found beside him. The body was to Kaslo for burial ���Ledge The Drilling Contest After an exciting contest between the several drilling teams at Spokan the Butte team won with a record of 55 inches in 15 minutes. Walter Bradshaw and Joe Freethy are the names of the winning contestants who smashed all known records. The Sandon team did extraordinary good work drilling 51 inches in the 15 minutes allowed. The contest was an exciting one thruout, large crowds being in attendance. The interest of Sandonites has been keen on the outcome of this contest and when it was known the Sandon team smashed the record there was great rejoicing, and it was a great surprise totfiany when the news was received next day that the Butte learn had beat them by four inches. That the Sandon team will strive for the winning place in the future is well known, this contest giving them some pointers. What makes this kind of sport so popular among miners is the evident squareness and the fact that renders it still more exciting is that a small nodule of harder rock than ordinarily encountered, will turn the scale. $35,000 Bond. Geo. Alexander has bonded the Fletcher group on Lyle creek, near Whitewater, for $35,000. On Monday ten per cent of the purchase price, amounting to $3,500, was paid over to the owners, Fletcher Bros, and Wm. Moulse. These properties were under bond a year ago to Chas. Plowman, who dropped the bond without doing any work. \ party of surveyors left on Wednesday for the property and it is understood that Mr. Alexander intends putting a force of men to work at once to prove the property. The Fletcher group L a gold proposition and ore taken out carries very high values in that metal.���Kootenaian. A suit has been entered against the Chapleau Mining Co. by F. Mourgues, the engineer in charge of the company's interests on the first north fork of Lemon creek. The suit is for $1995 being six months' selary at $300 and damages for non-fulfillment of contract. -���,-t-a \" )��� :.'-������' v. :j PRESIDENTS THAT WERE KILLLED BY ASSASSINS The shooting of President McKinley resembles in many respects the assassination of President Oar- field in 1881. His assailant, Chas. J. Guiteau, was one of the thousands of persistent hunters of office who pestered President Garfield. He appeared in Washington during Garfield's visit there before the inauguration, and construed, or pretended to construe, a promise to see him again into the promise to grant him an appointment as consul at Marseilles. The day after the inauguration Guiteau called at the White House to see President Garfield, but did not find him there. He then wrote to the President, asking an interview, to which he received no reply. He then followed the President closely,wherever he went,and stood outside for hours and watched the houses where the President called, waiting for a chance to press his suit for an office. Again and again he intruded himself upon the President, who, after becoming convinced of the man'8 unfitness for official position, frankly refused to grant the petition. Guiteau was very angry, and refused to be satisfied with two or three denials; and at last be became so insulting in his demeanor that the President, after a most remarkable display of patience, ordered the officers at the White House to expel the intruder, and refuse him admittance should he attempt to enter again. Mortified at his failure to obtain the coveted appointment, and angry beyond expression because of his forcible ejection from the White House, he determined to have revenge. Various schemes suggested themselves to him,according to his own confession, which would bring disgrace and failure upon the administration and shame upon the President,but none would or could satisfy him but the murder of President Garfield. Once, it is said,he followed the President from tbe White House to the residence of Secretary Blaine, dodging along from dark corners and skulking bv stone balustrades; and the peaceful, confident head of the nation walked cheerfully by those hiding-places, and Guiteau, with his revolver cocked, could not muster the carriage, and Guiteau saw her thin hands and pale, sweet face, he was defeated again; and, stuffing his revolver in his pocket, said: "I'll wait till she is better." He pondered over the matter, making careful calculations on the effect of the President's death, and planned how to avoid the rage of the mob which the murder would be likely to raise. He wrote a letter beforehand to General Sherman, to be delivered to him at once after the murder, asking for troops to protect him at the jail. On Friday, the first day of July, Guiteau saw by the papers that the President intended to take the train for New York the next morning, and again determined to secure his revenge: On the morning of Saturday, July 2nd, he loaded his revolver, hired a hack to take him hastily from the station after he should have killed his victim, and placed himself near the entrance to the Baltimore Railroad waiting-room, thinking to kill the President there. Soon after the assassin had taken his post at the door, President Garfield and Secretary Blaine alighted from their carriage, and for five minutes stood close to Guiteau, engaged in conversation. But he could not muster up courage to shoot then. The sudden call of the conductor, "All aboard !" and the quick movements of the passengers in the station, however, enabled him to throw off the spell, and, with a satanic desperation and horrible impulse, he turned, as the President passed him, and fired the first shot. He was so close to his victim that he saw his aim had not been true, and as the startled President leaped to one side the assassin took a surer aim, and fired the second time with deadly effect. The second bullet entered the President's side, tore through the spine, and remained lodged in the flesh. The horrified spectators rushed to the wounded man, seized the assassin, and for a time there was the greatest confusion and terror. But soon the doors were shut to keep out the excited crowd, surgical aid called for the President, and the assassin hurried away to the jail. The surgeons called to aid tlie President declared at once that the shot inust be fatal, and ordered the fainting and bleeding man carried by ambulance to strength to pull the trigger. At-the White House another time he followed the President's carriage to the railway station, determined to delay the deed no longer; but when the affectionate husband lifted his wife from the When the President had lingered and suffered at the White House for more than two months, holding on to life with an almost miraculous tenacity, and suffering incess antly the acutest pain, a council of noted physicians was called to consider the advisability of removing him from the heat and malaria of Washington: He had lost more than one hundred pounds in weight, and had become so weak that it did not seem possible that, without a change, he could survive many days. He longed to get away from the place in which he had suffered so much, and, as there seemed no hope for him there, the physicians consented to undertake his removal to Long Branch, on the New Jersey shore. His removal for so many hundred miles in his dangerously low state was one of the most remarkable feats of modern days. The railroad company laid a track to the White House in Washington, and another track to the cottage which kind friends furnished for him at the shore; so that he was taken from door to door in an elegant, comfortable and commodious car, and carried from the house to the car and from the car to the seaside cottage, without sufficient commotion or movement of his couch to cause any considerable increase of his pulse. Although he exhibited signs of exhaustion the next day, he did not attribute it to the journey so much as to the excitement and pleasure of being in a new place and amid new scenes. Although the President at first rallied slightly, he gradually sank until, on September l!)th, he passed away. The immediate cause of Garfield's death was for some time a matter of dispute among physicians; but the day after his death a post-mortem examination of his body was made: When the operation was performed, it was found that the ball, after fracturing the right eleventh rib, has passed through the spinal column, fracturing the body of the first lumbar vertebrae, driving a number of small fragments of bone into the adjacent soft parts, and lodging just below the pancreas, ahout two inches and a half to the left or the spine and Itehind the peritoneum, where it had become completely encysted. The immediate cause of death was secondary hemorrhage from one of the mesenteric arteries abjoiningthe track of the ball, the blood rupturing the peritoneum, and nearly a pint escaping into the abdominai cavity. This hemorrhage is believed to have been the cause of the severe pain in the lower part of the chest, which President Garfield complained of just before death. An abscess cavity, six inches by four in dimen sions, was found in the vicinity of the gall bladder, between the liver and the transverse colon, Wh*ch were strongly interadherent. ft did not involve the substance of the liver, and no communication was found between it and the wound. A long suppurating chan- nel extended from the external wound, between the loin muscles and the right kidney, almost to the right groin. The channel, now known to be due to the burrowing of pus from the wound, wbh sup. posed during life to have been the track of the ball. On an examination of the organs of the chest, evi- dences of severe bronchitis wen found on both sides, with broncho- pneumonia of the lower portions rf the right lung, and. though to much less extent, of the left. The lungs contained no abscesses, and the heart no clots. The liver was enlarged and fatty, but free from abscesses. Nor were any found in any other organ except the led kidney, which contained near its surface a small abscess, about one- third of an inch in diameter. Guiteau,the assassi n. was charged with murder,and after a sensational trial, which lasted for -several days, and during which the defendant sought to escape the penalty of his crime by pleading insanity, he was convicted and sentenced to be banged on June .10, 1882.

Where did I go off shift on the last? Seems to me it was somewhere down among the rocks. Well the rocks are still there. I am in Sarnia, of course that can hardly be held as an indictment against Sarnia. I entered during the night and have been on the night shift ever since. The coppers here do their sleeping on the graveyard shift. Everyone is supposed to be at home and in bed at that time but, remarkable as it may seem, they are not. I have known boys here, even during my short sojourn in these regions, who stay out as late as half past eleven. Some of them, young men with excellent opportunities, employes of banks and drug stores and places like that, earning four or five dollars a week, actually blow their money buying cigarettes and other absurd extravagancies. However, as these youths are too notoriously thriftless to ever Ait any ice I cannot afford to waste time writing about them. They should stagger up against an ace in the hole and go to the ceiling. Then they would learn economy. But about those rocks. From what I could gather on the train and in conversation with politicians and honest men in Toronto and elsewhere, it seems that not one in a thousand (I have interviewed 4,726 men and one woman) appreciates the value of this region. A large aggregation of wheal growers from Manitoba had the de- stinguished honor of coming down on the same train with yours truly and I made a personal and systematic cap- vaaSs of the whole bunch. I asked each one separately what he thot of the North Shore. The answer did not vary even a syllable. It was unanimously "a hell of a country." Yesterday I spent two hours and thirty minuets lecturing a prominent politician who is a possible cabinet minister in j the Ontario legislature on the vast resources of the North Shore. He frankly admitted he did not know the rudimentary principles of the B. C. prospecting laws, had not the slightest idea of how a claim was staked, never saw a prospector or a prospect and had only a very hazy and remote idea of how much the development of the mining industry would do toward building up this sleepy province. Ontario's prospecting law is simply rotten. No one seems to know much about it, but as near as I can gather a prospector is required to immediately survey and plat his ground, place assays in the hands of the land registrar and apply for a right to purchase at a price varying from $1.25 to $5.00 per acre. The Dawson City racket is worked to a finish and many a poor prospector who has complied with the formalities finds himself beat out by some pet ofthe registry office who, after the prospector has furnished all the information, goes out and makes a "prior" location. I imagine some of the old timers in our camp up against a proposition like that. And yet the rubes in Ontario wonder why the North Shore is not opened up. But, to switch, Toronto is a great, cheap and wholly irrational camp. People there are plum crazy on royalty Yorkey is going to visit the burg some time ,in the near future and Toronto folks are about in the same frenzied state as the Navajoe Indians were at Walker's lake during the Messiah craze. Red coated militiamen are parading and practicing bugle and drum exercises at all hours. Fiabby- faced, pot-bellied yahoos who couldn't march to Three Forks are addressed as Sargeant, Colonel, Major or General according to the amount of booze they lap up. Gee-gaw shops are doing a booming business selling photographs of Yorkey and his side partner. Restaurants, saloons, stores and all kinds of public places are in a free-for-all competition to display royalty emblems and royalty extravaganzas of all kinds. Preachers are praying for the Duke. Secturers are qualifying him. Newspapers are full of Douglas' three dollar shoe cuts fixed up to represent him and every gent in the land from the gin merchant to the gospel shark is on it and on it strong. As I said before, people are plumb batty on royalty. I feel sorry for Yorkey. One of the most interesting sights I witnessed in Toronto was to watch the Eaton gang come off shift. The miners and householders in the Slocan who are helping to build up this outfijt should keep their money at home. Eaton's is certainly a hard layout. Of all the thousand or so men, women boys an girls whom I saw emerge from his works and hurry off to wrestle down a short-hour lunch I aSwear that there was not one in the bunch whose clothes and general make-up indicated anything better than four dollars a week. And the appearance of them. Brazen and almost importuning in their manner but at the same time bearing a half dejected don't-give-a-. dam-whether-school-keeps-or-not sort of a way. I know now where the ranks ofthe prostitutes are recruited from. And the Slocan miners who patronize Eaton help along the work. Some of these Toronto people are pretty sore on B. C. mining stock. George Gooderham, Tom Blackstock and other promoters threw it into their Toronto friends cold-blooded on the Rossland propositions and now you ought to hear the lambs roar, the poor suckers bot the stock calculating that it would go up and thev would unload on other poor suckers who didn't know any better. But George and Tom arranged all that. Thev did the unloading act. One funny thing I noticed in Toronto. Very few seem to understand that there is a strike on at Rosslaiul or that the mines are closed down. When I first fell up against this fact it was an eye-opener and I investgated. It seems that anything like a definite knowledge of the situation in the Ross- land camp is very rare. Someone has been lying like a wild-catter but I will have to throw the proposition into the assay office of investigation to determine the object. Joe Martin is a celebrated gentleman amontj the tenderfeet. All over the country men arc asking about Joe. What is he going to do? What i; his next move? How will he make out with the liberal party, etc. etc. In fact Joe has Manitoba and Ontario and I suppose the whole Dominion guessing. The machine politicians are certainly airaid of him and the few liberal luminaries whom I met apprehend that if Joe gets control in B. C. and makes a provincial rights case out ofthe disallowed Oriental Immigration Acts he will put Laurier and his gang over the dump of oblivion in about the same way that he sent Tupper and his fossils fluey on the school question. There will be millions of machine money ready to down Joe when the play comes up that way. Yours while not otherwise engaged. Wm. MacAdams. The swift avenging justice meted out to the assasin of President McKinley meets the approval of every right minded man. The trial was devoid of the sensational features of the Guiteau trial, which was made use o( to the enrichment of many a cheap book concern. The published account oi the deed with the subsequent trial, sentence and death can be placed in a very few pages, a This will avoid a good deal of noteriety. THE PAYSTREAK, SANDON, B.

Zouis Ibupperten ent had been detained by visitors, fumes of brandy had for weeks kept ad the play had made some pro- his brain in a morbid state. He ^,Ss. When he appeared in the Dx, the band struck up 'Hail to ie Chief,' the actors ceased play- ,g, and the audience rose,cheering imultuously; the President bowed I acknowledgment of this greeting, Eid the play went on." I John Wilkes Booth, an actor, of family of famous players, ascer- lined the President's intention to ttend the theatre iu the evening, nd,with a number of confederates, lanned to take the life of the Presi- ent: He was perfectly at home in ford's Theatre, where he was reatly liked by all the employees, vithout other reason than thesuffi- ient one of his youth and good olffl. Either by himself or with tie aid of his friends, he arranged lis whole plan of attack and escape luring the afternoon. He counted iipon address and audacity to gain ceess to the small passage behind fhe President's box; once there, he guarded against interference by an arrangement of a wooden bar to be fastened by a simple mortise in the ingle of the wall and the door by which he entered, so that the door (L-ould not be opened from without. Ie even provided for the conting- ey of not gaining entrance to the box by boring a hole in its door, lirough which he might observe lie occupants to take aim and shoot, llie hired at a livery stable a small, [fleet horse, which he showed with [pride during the day to barkeepers land loafers among his friends. The I moon rose that night at 10 o'clock. IA few minutes before that hour he called one of the underlings of the theatre to the back door and left him there, holding the horse. He then went to a saloon near by,took a drink of brandy, and, entering the theatre, passed rapidly through j the crowd in the rear of the dress- j circle, and made his way to the passage leading to the President's box. He showed a card to a servant in attendance, and was allowed to pass in. He entered noiselessly, and, turning, fastened the door with the bar he had previously made ready, without disturbing any of the occupants of the box. between whom and himself there yet remained the slight partition and the door through which he had bored the hole. Their eyes were fixed upon the stage; the play was "Our American Cousin," the original version by Tom Taylor, before Sothern had made a new work of it by his elaboration of the part of ���dundreary, partisan hate and the felt as if he were playing Brutus off tho boards; he posed, expecting applause. Holding a pistol in one hand and a knife in the other, he opened the box-door, put the pisto. to the President's head, and fired; dropping the weapon, he took the knife !n his right hand, and, when Major Rathbone sprang to mie him, he struck savagely at him. Major Rathbone received the blow on hia let* art. suffering a wide and deep wound. Booth, rushing forward, then placed his left hand on the railing of the box and vaulted lightly over to the stage. It was a high leap, but nothing to such a trained athlete. He would have got away safely, but for his spur catching in the folds of the Union flag with which the front of the box was draped. He fell on the stage, tbe torn flag trailing on his spur, but instantly rose as if he had received no hurt,though in fact the fall had broken his leg; he turned to tl. j audience,brandishing his dripping knife, and shouting the State motto of Virginia, "Sio, Semper Tyrannis," fled rapidly across the stage and out of sight. Major Rathbone had shout adi* Stop him l" The cry went out: "He has shot the President." From the audience, at first stupid with surprise, and afterward wild with excitement and horror, two or three men jumped upon the stage in pursuit of the flying assassin; but he ran through the familiar passages, leaped upon his horse, which was waiting in the alley behind,rewarded with a kick and curse the call- boy who had held him, and rode rapidly away in the light of the just risen moon. After he was shot, President Lincoln scarcely moved; his head dropped forward slightly, his eyes closed: Major Rathbone, at first not regarding his own grievous hurt, rushed to the door of the box to summon aid. He found it barred and on the outside some one Was beating and clamoring for entrance. He opened the door; a young officer named Crawford entered; one or two array surgeons soon followed, who hastily examined the wound. It was at once seen to be mortal. It was afterward ascertained that a large derringer bullet had entered the back of the head, on the left side.and, passing through the brain, had lodged just behind the left eye. By direction of Rathbone and Crawford, the President was carried to a house across the street and laid upon a bed in a small room at the rear of the hall, on the ground floor. The President had been shot a few minutes past 10. The wound would have brought instant death to most men, but his vital tenacity was extraordinary. He was, of course, unconscious from the first moment; but he breathed with slow and regular respiration throughout the night. As the dawn came, and the lamp-light grew pale in the fresher beams, his pulse began to fail; but his face even then was scarcely more haggard than those of the sorrowing group of statesmen and generals around him. His automatic moaning,which had continued through the night, ceased; a look of unspeakable peace came upon his worn features. At 7:22 he died. Stanton broke the silence by saying: "Now he belongs to the ages." Dr. Gurley kneeled by the bedside and prayed fervently. The widow came in from the adjoining room, supported by her son Robert, and cast herself with loud outcry on the dead body. Booth was tracked and pursued by troops, and, on the night of April 25th, a party under Lieut.E. P. Doherty surrounded a barn on Garrett's farm near Bowling Green, where the assassin and one of his confederates, D. E. Herold, were sleeping: When called upon to surrender, Booth refused, and a parley took place, lasting some minutes. Booth offered to fight the party at a hundred yards, and, when this was refused, cried out, in a theatrical tone: "Well, my brave boys, prepare a stretcher for me.'' Doherty surrendered. The barn was fired, and, while it was burning, Booth, who was clearly visible by the flames through the cracks in the building, was Bhot by Boston Corbett, a sergeant of cavalry, a soldier of a gloomy and fanatical disposition which afterward developed into insanity. Some wag played a joke on a widow in Kansas. He put an ad for a husband in the local paper and signed her name to it. When she found it out this is the way she explained it: I want to serve notice here and now on the busybodies of Lawrence to let me and my affairs alone. I never stole any of your husbands and do not want any of the critters. I simply want to do my own courting and selecting. No doubt younger girls can manage such things better, or rather can be content to let others manage for them, but as for me, I am not so gentle that I will walk up and eat out of the hand of any of these old scarecrows. This advertisement may have been considered a joke on the part of the saphead who put it in the paper, but it was no joke on me. I want to say right here that while not averse to getting married the second time, I am not so hard pressed that I will take up with any old skinflint who may desire a soft job managing my property. At the Indian Institute at Lawrence, Kansas, Mr. Bob Tail Bull arrived on the same train with Mr. John Little Eyes, Mr. Benedict Shoulder Blade, Miss Emma Beaver Claw, Miss Minnie Squint Eyes, Miss Laura Nice Talker and Miss Minnie Stands Up. There they found Mr. Edward Woman's Leg- gins, Mr. Hinton Big Leg, Miss Anna Woudded Eye, Miss Bessie Little Sun, Mr. Elmer Long Jaw, Mr. Jerome Bear Tusk, Mr. Joseph Crazy Mule, Mr. John Stands-in- Tiraber, Mr. John Pretty Bull, Mr. Hall Red Nose, Miss Clara Rolling Bull, Mr. Beans Young Bird and Miss Little White Man. These people belong to the first families of America. It is estimated that within the present generation Canada will have a population of 25 million people. As a generation is only 40 years of time Canada will have to pay more attention to the home production of babies, or increase the importation of the full-grown article from Europe in order to reach the estimated figures in 1941. An Irish member of parliament remarked the other day that he believed Henry VIII is now in a place "where he can light his pipe with his little finger." The Detroit Free Press remarks that there is still a few of us who have not been led astray by the higher criticism. Gum chewers should never stick their quids where children can reach them. In Fargo a little boy gathered up several old quids, chewed them and died. The doctors say that the saliva on the gum had become rank poison. In the royal household of England if a candle is extinguished it must never be relighted within the precincts of the palace, although the electric lights can be turned on without changing the plant daily.
