CLERK FOLEY -RETURNS BIS ASSESSMENT ROLL COMPLETE. Total Value of Lands and Improvements In th. City Placed at •175,848—Sidewalk Committee Reports Progress— Cemetery Too Close to Town. Mayor York, Aid. Worden, Smith, Nichol and Bradshaw were present at the regular meeting of the city council cm Mondav evening. An account for $15 was presented by D. D. Robertson for the burial of the late Edward Brown. The government had refused to do anything with the account, so the mayor said it remained for the city to pay it. Referred to the finance committee. The sidewalk committee reported that the lumber had been ordered for the new walks and the work wonld begin at once. Tools could be borrowed from the government agent for the time being. Fred C rlisle and about-80 others petitioned to have the tax on wash- houses abolished, as it wns working a hardship on two poor women, and asking to have outside laundries doing business here taxed instead. Mayor York stated the council in passing the license bylaw bad no intention of working a hardship on anyone, but the city must hare laws. It was necessary to protect the city against thc invasion of Asiatic wash- houses. In this the aldermen concurred, and outside laundries doing business here will have to pay a license. Matter left over for one week for further information. The clerk returned his assessment roll complete, showing the land val ues to be $110,093, improvement!-' $59,750, making a total of $175,848. The result of the assessment surprised and gratilied the aldermen. The mayor was a believer in full valuation of property and a low tax rate. J. M. McGregor submitted an offer of $5 for establishing a grade for Main street. Offer accepted, on motion of Aid. Bradshaw and Worden. Uugarding the cemetery question, Mayor York said lie had been at Nelson and interviewed Frank Fletcher. The latter thought the cemetery was too close to the city and thought land should be chosen farther out. He was quite willing, however, to donate a plot of land, any place, at the choice of the city. With regard to thecxtonsion of the Brandon waterworks, Mr. Fletcher saw no danger in granting the privilege, as the city could protect itsel f by agreement with the parties desiring water. The city would obtain possession of the pipes when a proper civic system is installed. Mayor York advised the question again being laid over a week, so as to notify the parties interested. The clerk was authorized, on motion of Aid. Worden and Nichol, to insert a notice in The Drill relative to applications to go on the voters' list. All intending voters must have their applications in by Nov. 7. Council adjourned. THE LOCAL PAYROI.I..

The Enterprise is holding back preparatory to the starting of the concentrator. Unavoidable delays have occurred atthe mill, preventing the commencement of operations, but the management expect to have things running regularly before tho end of the month. They expect then to make heavy shipments. It has shipped 540 ton's this year. Last year the exports from this division amounted to 2847 tons, made up from 10 properties.

Pap gave a contemptuous sniff and Indulged ln a little Incredulous laugh. "•You have said that, Jason Roberts," he remarked, "an mebby you have said true words an mebby you ain't. But If you thinks they are true words mebby you can go {udder an say wbat that feller Is tlgurln on buyln." "Oh. I don't know," Jason replied. "Most anything, I reckon." "That won't do, Jason. It won't nigh do. You can't edge out of a box ln tbat sort of way. Tbe fact la you ain't no notion under tbe sun what that feller la here for, an you mought Jest aa well say ao." "An you ain't no notion neither, Pap, nu more than I have." •Tve said what he's here for, Jason, an I've said It boldly, an, as I remarked, the words what I bave spoke I stick to, an Pll contlner to stick to 'em as long aa Gab'el's got a button left on bla coat Tbat feller Is a preacher, an he's"- "You have said that, Pap, an thar ain't no use In you cbawln your hash over more than three times. But I know tbat feller ain't no preacher, 'cause when he come up here he cussed. He cussed 81m Banks, an he cussed him out plain. He said these words, 'Damn you, you make another squeak or try to move aaother inch, an Pll blow your bead off.' Tbem was the Identical words he said to 81m, for I 'leard him with my own ears, an I guess you heard him, too. Pap." "I did, Jason. I heard blm speak them very words. But "what of lt? Strictly speakln, 'damn' ain't no cues word, an I 'low a preacher mought use It In a case of emergency, though It ain't Jest proper." Jim Thorn, who bad remained silent all this time, suddenly broke Into the conversation by remarking wltb tbe air of one who haa convictions and who la positive of their correctness: "You all have bad yonr say about that man, an now it's time I was bavin mine. Some of you have reckoned one thing an some of you have reckoned another, but none of you ain't reckoned right I know what that feller Is, an I stand ready to bet a hose on It" "What are the word you 'lows to speak. Jim Thorn." Pap sSaq-pson asked contemptuously, "If you knows so much about It?" "The word 1 'low to speak Is Jest this. Pap Sampson, an you all will see It are a true word If you lire Ion? enough: Tbat man ain't nothln more nor less than a rascal lililin out from tbe law. That's tbe word I speak, an If s a word I'U stand to If It kills me." There was a moment of breathless alienee while the people looked from one -to another, and nobody noticed , that one of tbe company colored and after shooting a contemptuous glance at Jim Thorn turned her face away. That one person was Louise, tin* young* and beautiful wife of Sim Banks, tinman who had fled before the advance of a herd of cattle. The people of Beckett's Mill were like tho rest of humanity In Unit ths-y were more ready to believe 111 of a fellow creature than they were to believe good of blm. For this reason the majority of those present fell at once In wltb Jim Thorn's Idea and proceeded to announce their belief tbat he was right To be sure, Pap Sampson shook his bead and thumped tbe earth with his cane and stoutly maintained tbat he waa correct So did Jason Roberts contend that be was right. Those two men had taken positions, and tliey felt that It waa Incumbent on tbem to maintain them, and nothing short of absolute conviction would Induce them to recede so much as a hair's breadth. With tbe others, however, It was different "Lord, I reckon Jim Thorn is shore right!" Hicks said, breaking tbe pause. tea. sir-eel Come to think of it I bad a sort of a sneakln notion while that feller was here that ho wa'n't Jest exactly plumb straight" "I noticed." observed another, "that be bad a sort of an uneasy look about the eye, like he was skeered that be mought be overtook an ketcbed up. Didn't none of you una notice that?" "Lord. I reckon I did," another replied, "an I mind most distinctly that be didn't appear to act a bit nat'ral. It flashed over me in a minute that thar was somethln wrong about him some way." "Shucks!" exclaimed a third. "I seed through tbat feller tbe very minute I clapped my eyea on blm, an I knowed •a well aa If he'd told me thnt he was hldln from the law. I wouldn't never ••mentioned It, tb nigh, If somebody else hadn't a-u.nt'jnei' lt fust" Jim Thorn Ilnteued In nil. noe to all these men, a cold.

"Your woman 'lowed you war gwlne to Jlne the war," Pap Sampson said, with a smile, "but we un* reckoned you warn't hurtln so bud as all that to whup no battles, an It looks like wo uns war right." "1-1 did start to Jlne the war," "that he's had to take to hldln out this ■•way?" "Lord. I hope he ain't been an killed nobody." Hicks remarked, with a shudder, "but like enough that's Jest what he's done." "Or It may be that he's etoled a boss or somethln," another added. "I reckon he's most mean enough to do anything, Judgln by his looks." "Or he mought 'a' robbed a bank, for all we know. Land, like as not he's got a bushel of money bid about blm somewhar." These were all merely surmises on the part of the speakers, for none of them knew a thing on earth about James Melvln. It Is strange, however, how near to the truth a mere surmlsa may sometimes draw. That James Melvln was a fugitive from the law was a fact and that some of tbe other surmises smacked strongly of tbe truth were also facts. All at once at this point the attention of the villagers was drawn away from James Melvln and fixed on another subject Mrs. Sparks had come dashing In among them, ber face pale and haggard a_d her eyes wet with tears. "Whar's my old man?" she cried. "Whar's Ebenezer? Hain't none of you uns seed nothlu of bim? Oh, my Lord!" Not until this moment bad any one noticed that Ebenezer Sparks was absent and consequently nobody was lu a position to enlighten bis other hah* as to his whereabouts. Mrs. Sparks looked eagerly from face to face, tben broke forth In heartrending lamentations. "Oh, my poor, brave, foolhardy Ebenezer!" she walled. "I'll never git to see h'lm no more, never In all this world! He'll be killed! He's shore to be killed! I Jest know be will!" "Why, great granny, Mrs. Sparks," Hicks exssclaimed, "whatever has got Into you to make you talk that a-way'• Wbo or what Is goln to kill Ebenezer, do you s'pose?" "Oh. my Lord, Jake, tbe war'll kill him! It's Jest shore to, an I won't nev- or git to lay my eyes on him ag'ln." "Why, land of Goshen, Mrs. Sparks, how do you go 'bout flggerln that out: How's the war gwlne to kill Ebenezer when he ain't got nothln to do with it I'd like to know?" "But he'a a-goln to have somethln to do with It. Don't you all know tbat them cannons an tbem guns has done sot blm plumb crazy an made him so wild to fight that he's jest put out over thar to Jlne the war?" Some of tbe little group laughed outright, while some of them only smiled. Hicks did neither, although he was strongly tempted to laugh. He saw that Mrs. Sparks was Intensely in earnest aud sorely troubled, and be pitied ber. Everybody knew Ebenezer Sparks wag a braggart and a coward—every body except his wife, tbe one person who sliould have known It better than any one else on earth. The blind, unreasoning faith some wives repose In their husbands would be ridiculous were lt not so pathetic, and Mrs. Sparks was of that class. "I guess you ain't got no call to be skeered about Ebenezer, Mrs. Sparks," Hicks remarked presently. "You can Jest bet be ain't gone to jlne no war au that he'll turn up here tbe fust thing you know." The woman shook ber head. "You can't fool me," ahe replied. "You uns all don't know Ebenezer like I do. If you uns bad ever beard blm talk as I bave, a-tcllln about the times wben he fit into the war an whupped tbe battles, you uns would know wbar he is now. Time an ag'ln I've heard blm a-slgbln an a-bopln for a war to git started, so's be could git a cbanst to jlne It an fight like he uster. He was shy, an he wouldn't tell you all them things, but ho told 'em to me." Even Hicks smiled at this. He could not help It when he remembered how often Ebenezer, sitting by the store stove of winter evenings, had boasted of his brave exploits tn war and yearned, as a sick child yearns for Its mother, for a chance to repeat them. Ebon- ezer's modesty, liko his bravery, waa a mere matter of assumption. Just at tbat moment a boy came running down tbe street In a high state of excitement, and, stopping In front of the group, panted out: "You all better come an git Ebenezer Sparks outen the store cellar, 'cause if he stays thar much longer he'll be deader 'an a mackerel He's most played out now, I guess." Tbere wss a moment's silence; tben severs! of the men broke Into a loud laugh. Presently Ulcka turned to the boy and said: "Is Ebenezer In my store cellar?" "You bet be Is," tbe boy replied, "a* he can't git out nuther, 'leas'n he's helped out" "What's happened to him?" "Why, he's all burled up under you all's taters. They's moat a thousand bushels on top of him.*" Wltbrut another word Hicks led the way to tam cellar, and there, sure enough, tbey found *_Len..:•■•■, tbe brave and tbe bold, burled under a masa of potato**" •vhl-h had rolled down over blm wben he bad attempted to secrete himself by burrowing Into tbem.

The two first hung their beads ln sbame, Mra. Sparks bristled up In ber husband's defense, while Mrs. Banks gave her husband a look full of disgust and coolly turned ber back on him. Mrs. Mann noticed the conduct ot Mrs. Banks and promptly called attention to it by saying: "Lord, Loueesy, you ain't nigh so quick to stand up for your husband as Betty Sparks Is for lier'n. You acts for all the world Jest like you la plumb ashamed of Sim." '•'I am," Mrs. Banks replied flatly. "Who could help being ashamed of a coward, I'd like to know?" Sim looked up at his wife, a pained expression ln his eyes and his face very fed. "Loueesy," he gasped, "yon dast to talk that a-way about me an we una Jest been married a year?" "1 dare to speak the truth," Mrs. Banks replied cuttingly, her lips curling with scorn. "I'm plumb-ashamed of you." "Tben you don't love me none," 81m whimpered broken heartedly. "A wife wbat loves ber old man ain't goln to run blm down afore otber folks. Lou* eesy, you don't love me; you don't love me!" Mrs. Banks, instead of being touched, gave ber husband one scornful glance and turned and walked away. Wltb her utter want of tact Mra. Mann said: "I guess, Blm Banks, Loueesy's been a-contrastln you with tbat Mr. Melvln, an I reckon abe thinka you ain't much shakes compared wltb him." Sim's eyes flashed fire In an Instant, and, trembling with anger, be cried: "You aro a-lyln, Mra. Mann, when you say any slch a thing aa that, an if you was a man I'd whup you till your hide wouldn't hold shucks. Hain't nobody got no call to apeak nary a word ag'ln Loueesy, an I ain't goln to stand still an let no slch a word be spoke. That's Jest what I got to say, an I mean It." Mrs. Mann sniffed contemptuously. "Sim Banks," she said, "you kin jest stand up for Loueesy all you pleases, but I mind she didn't stand up for you none, an my notion Is sbe hain't goln to stand up for you, no matter wbat anybody says. I've got eyes, an wbat I see I see. Loueesy was plumb struck with that man, an you mark my words, Sim Banks, If sbe ever gits to know him she'll learn to love his little finger better than she'll ever love your whole body. You jest bear tbem words In mind, 81m Banks, an If you live you will find tbat tbey are the gospel truth." Mrs. Mann, though actuated by a selfish Interest and Influenced by that feeling of bitter enmity which a woman ..ns for a successful rival In tbe affections of tbo man she loves, spoke nearer thc truth than any of ber hearers dreamed—nearer even than she herself supposed.

He is fair, and bronzes as a fair man does—a ruddy hue. lie is browned to the eyebrows, and his hands and wrists show thc effects of exposure. He is a light-boned follow of just above average height. He has small feet and hands, and moves with a wiry, springy stride of excellent health. He is not a powerful man, but ho is agile and graceful. Hia Royal Highness would probably tip the scales at 150 pounds. The Duchess resembles tho Duke in build, complexion, and carriage.

Three hundred and sixty-six pure, flawless diamonds, a large Canadian pearl of rare beauty, set in a corsage brooch of Canadian gold licutcn and enamelled Into a perfect counterpart of a spray of Canadian maple leaves, was tlio gift of the ladies of Montreal to the Duchess of York. Thc ornament is a marvel of the Jeweler's art. The sprny of six maple leaves mensures almost four and a half inches in length. No two leaves are alike in size or shape.

The pearl, which is set nt tho start of thc spray, weighs about 20 grains. and is perhaps the most perfect Canadian pearl that has ever found its way into a brooch, lt was found in the Lake St. John district of Quebec, where some fine jewels from time to timo reward tho tireless searches. The brooch reposed in » handsome chest of solid silver nearly eight inches snuaro. Upon its li' was enrved a wreath of maple loaves encircling tho arms of Montreal. A suitable inscription is engraved upon another part of the chest.

Tho Rich, He*i Blood Made by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Gives New Strength to Every Nerve, Fibre and Organ of the Body. From The Budget, Shelburne, N.8. Among tho young laidiea of Shelburne, there is none today who moro fully bears the impress of perfect health than Miss Lilian Durfoe. Unfortunately this was not always tho case, as a few years ago Miss Dur- fce became ill, and her friends feared that she was going into decline. A doctor was called in and prescribed but his mcdicineB did not have the desired effect. Her strength gradually left her, her appetite failed, she had frequent headaches, was very pale, and finally grew so weak that a walk of a few rods would coair plelely fatigue her. The young lady's family sorrowfully observed that she was steadily failing, and feared that consumption would claim her as a victim. One day a friond urged that she should give Dr. Williams' I'ink 1'ills a tria.1, but the Idea at first was not favorably entertained ; it seemed hopeless to expect that any medicine would help her after the doctor's treatment had failed. However, this good friend still urged, and finally prevailed. By tho timo the third box was used, there was an unmistakable improve-: ment in Miss Durfee's condition. Cheered by this, tho pills were continued, anh in the course of a few weeks the former invalid, whose Strength was taxed by thc slightest exertion, was almost restored to health. Tho use of the pills was still continued and a few weeks more found Miss Durfce again enjoying perleet health. To a reporter who Interviewed h<*r, she said :—"1 believe lhat Dr. Williams' Pink rills savi-d my life, and 1 earnestly recommend thoin to all who fear that consumption has laid its grasp upon them." That the facts related abovj are not in uny way exaggerated, is borne out by the following slntcmcni from Hobt. G. Irwin, Esq., the well known stipendiary magistrate for the municipality, who says:—"I distinctly remember the pale face of Miss Lillian Durfeo and the regr-sts of friends as they expri'BSsxl their conviction that she would soon bo compelled to say farewell to earth. Miss Durfoe, however, carries the unmistakable credentials of good health, and frequently expresses her indebtedness to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Pale and anaemic girls, or young people with consumptive tendencies, will find renewed Dealt— and bodily vigor through tho use of Dr. Williams' I'ink Pills.

"The symptoms as therein explained corresponded with my own, and I started taking Dodd's Kidne./ 1'ills according to directions. Before I had finished one box there was a decided improvement in my condition. Sly apps'tite returned, the p.iiu was lessened and I was able to sleep. 1 have taken in all twelve boxes and havo completely recovered. No sign of my old trouble remains, uud I ascribe lt only to Dodd's Kidney Pills. Dodd's Kidney Pills are a wonderful discovery.".

KUITOHIAL VBOfFINUa. .Hon. A. G. Blair, minister of rail- xv*ava, has introduced Chinese as servants in his household. Tho Domes- . tic Servants Union is after him, and it will serve him right it the girls catch him and pull his hair. The 'horrid man. Local fishermen complain bitterly ofthe practice of using dvnamite adopted by some men in catching lish. Every promising hole in the river and the mouths of all the creeks on the lake have, it is claim ed, been so devastated this past season, making it impossible to catch a decent string. In the destruction of the fish, there is being destroyed one of the leading attractions for tourists . to these parts. Pity men wouldn't 'see things in tbat light and give the lovers of the rod a little enjoyment. 'Using dynamite on fish is a reprehensible practice and should be suppressed ___________ Dr. Forin last week received the following letter from W. L. Mackenzie. King, deputy minister of labor:— "1 dejire to acknowledge a telegram from you, dated Slocan City. B C, 16th October, addressed to the Hon. Minister of Justice, and transferred today to this department, which reads as follows: , 'Liberals assembled humbly petition government to enforce Alien Labor Act at - Rossland.' In reply to tiiis 1 beg to say that the Attorney General is of the opinion tbat, as a precedent to his ordering .' the deportation of any alien, under the ' Alien Labor Act aa amended at the last session and at present iu force, there ahould be a conviction establishing tbat * such alien was imported in violation of , the provisions of the Act. 1 enclose a copy of a consolidation of the Acts to re- ' strict the importation and employment of aliens, from section 3, of which you " will see tiiat provision is made for the enforcement of the Act by interested parties. In regard to the alleged viola- . tion at Rossland. I may state that this ' department bas had for some time past * special oflicer in Rossland, in order ' that, in the event of convictions being obtained in accordance with the provis- " ions of the Act, no avoidable delay may be experienced in having the persons, concerning whom convictions were made . speedily deported." ' The government explains its position by the fact that the Alien Act was amended last session, at the instance of Ralph Smith, by which the initial movement in securing deportation of 'Imported aliens was taken out of its bands. There being no convictions ' made at Roseland, the government | contends it had no authority under 'the Act to deport. Yale-Caribsjo has a population, ac- „cording to the almost completed census returns, of 51.C04, against 19,180 ten years ago. In importance and wealth the constituency has gained in an even larger proportion. Were justice meted out, the district em 'braced would receive at least one mora member for the commons, one •for the senate, and half a dozen for vthe legislature. The facts are plain .and they constitute an urgent demand upon, the respective governments to give the district, and particularly the Kootenays, a fair share ,of representation under redistribution. As it stands, the north riding of East Kootenay contains 1938 people and the south 6962. In West Kootenay the Revelstoke riding haa .3008 inhabitants, Slocan 5321, Nelson '7102, and Rossland 7603. These figures warrant any way four more members for West Kootenay and one for East Kootenay By reason of their numbers and by holding fust together, the Kootenay members in the legislature could initiate and further legislation favorable to the chief industry of the province—mining. Great as has boon the advance ment in the decade Just closed, the current period will witness even greater progress for the Kootenays, and it is necessary that sufficient representation be given them to protect their valuable and expanding interests.
