It was the most unanimous public gathering ever held here and gave a practical illustration of the strength of Labor's cause in this vicinity. J. A. Foley was tlie chairman and he introduced, in a few apt words, the several speakers, who spoke in the following order: Chris Foley, the candidate; James Wilks, of Nelson: las. Baker and Al. Teeter, of this town. All the speeches were direct and instructive, appealing strongly to thu hearers.

Labor was in the vast majority in the c untry and it had a right to organization, social and political. Strong reasons were adduced for the formation of thc Independent Labor Party, for which victory was predicted at thc polls. The Conservatives and Liberals were roundly scored for their sinsofomis sion and commission regarding labor, and red hot shot was poured into monopolies, Asiatic immigration and the Alien Labor Law. The speeches of Messrs. Wilks, Baker and Teeter were congratulatory and strongly in support of Mr. Foley. It was a bouncer meeting, winding up with rousing cheers for the labor candidato.

Harris Was Done Up at Poker. PAID IN RECO SHARES Lew Houck Worked the Sleeve Game—Action to Recover On Stock. Nelson, Oct, 10.—The case of Henley vs. Reco Mining company, which was set down yesterday for trial at the assizes will be one of the most interesting actions ever tried in this district says the Tribune. The suit arises out ol a poker game in which J, M. Harris, president ol thc Reco, was fleeced to a finish by Lew llouck, one of thc cleverest card sharpers who ever came west. Thc case is robbed of some interest by the fact that llouck is dead, ll is asserted that he worked the "Montana sleeve" game at Sandon, and in the approaching trial the defence will produce the evidence of the tailor who made the sleeve. Houck's ability to palm cards is evidenced by the fact that Harris bad 110 suspicion he was getting the double cross until some time later when he learned of. Houck's identity. In the meantime he settled his debt to the sharper in Reco shares, llouck sold the shares and the purchaser is bringing the action to (impel the Reco people to honoi die transfer. The story of thc game at Sandon is worth telling. A Spokane business man had visited thc Slocan metropolis and played poker for high stakes. He lost, and j. M, Harris got the big end of the game When the Spokane man arrived he secured a tip on Lew llouck, and put up a deal with the famous sharp to secure revenge on Harris. Thev went to Sandon and worked the job smoothly. Harris lost $1000 in cash and several I. 0, I'.'s at one sitting, and between $2500 anil S300 in cash and a block of Reci stock in another. Then the visitors pulled out, and when Harris became informed oi the proposition he had gone against ii notice was posted repudiating the stock certificates, New Brunswick Is Flooded A Steady Downpour of Rain for 118 Hours* St, Johns.

South Alrlimi Mluallou Grand Rapids, Mich., Oct. 12.—■ P. Louter Wessels, special commissioner of the South African Republic to the United Suites yesterday received u letter from Secretary De Bruyan, of the Boer envoys, now in Holland, containing the first reliable and definite information oi the plans oi ex President Kruger that has been made public. The letter states that ex-President Kruger will leave Delagoa bay on tbe Netherlands warship Gelderland in a few days, lie will be taken to Holland where the envoys are awaiting him. In regard to the intimation in British newspapers that English warships might be sent in pursuit, Mr. Wessels says that any such action by Great Britain would be accepted by the Neitherlands as a direct declaration or war and the little Dutch nation would act accordingly. Ex-President Kruger bears a commission from tbe Boer republic, but exactly what it is, not even the envoys oi the Boers know. They suppose, however, that it will endeavor to secure intervention by one or all oi the European powers to the end that the individuality of the republics shall not be annihilated. Mr. Wessels stated that the reports of huge numbers of Boers immigrating to America were unfounded. He said: "You need not be surprised if there is a rebellion of ihe whole of South Africa before the year is out. The only reason the Capo Colonists did not join us nt the outset was because they had no arms and neither they nor we expected war and were unprepared." -in- t ii< in < hallenge New York, Oct. 12.-—The challenge oi Sir Thomas Lipton lor an- other series of races for the American cup, will be considered at a special meeting ot the New York Yacht club called for Tuesda*, evening, October 16, Will iii- No Chang* The Supreme court sittings will be held ill Nelson, October to and in Rossland October J11.

Through the Slocan at least it is -not a question of who is the strongest of the three candidates, but rather (the size of Foley's majority. It will be in the hundreds. Capital has rights as well as labor, and no true workman will seek to belittle the factor that provides re munerative employment for himself and peace and contentment in his Tiomc. Justico to all should ever be the watchword of our legislators, This truly has been a week of thanksgiving for labor. The coal ,-fltrikors in Pennsylvania won a big • victory; the Ymir mine, at Ymir, has ■adopted the Union scale; the Tories .will support Putteo 'n Winnipeg; .nndlast.butnotleast.Ci.ris Foley has ibeen here/and ho proved himself .equal to his reputation. C. E. Smitheringale has purchased •K. T. Lowery's interest in The Slogan Drill, and will pound tlie ma .-chine alone in the future. If he will lop off thc extension to his name and .call it plain Smith, the brethren will be thankful.—Cranbrook Herald. Can't do it, sonny; it's one ofthe imposed conditions of existence. Besides, the governor's got tlie blame thing copyrighted. Labor should feel honored by the -great attentions being paid its organ- • izations by public men at present. It ,has become a power in the land and many are they who aro falling over -themselves to prove their warm at- itachment for the hardy sons of toil. But labor, particularly in British -Columbia,can think nnd act for itself, . and the affiliated organizations will .demonstrate their influence ncxr -month. Union men owe it to themselves to m ssist and protect one another, This : is shown in tbe adoption of the Union label to be placed upon the product .of their hands. The label is the badge and certificate of honest toil, fair wages nnd skilled workmen. It -is never found on shoddy goods. How necessary it is, therefore, that .that thc preachers of unionism practice what they preach. Don't be content with any old thing. Insist upon having Union label goods everywhere and upon all occasions. Compulsory arbitration in this .country is rapidly Hearing the goal of practical accomplishment. Ne*v Zealand has shown how it operates there, by having no labor troubles in .fourteen years. Our American con- sins have been inquiring into the matter and they have come to the conclusion that it is a good thing,and soon will have a similar measure on their statute books. Agitation here /on the subject has made many converts in its favor since June last and our people would welcome its adop tion. British Columbia will be to Canada what New Zealand is to Australasia. It will be the arena wherein the practical precepts and principles of •modern socialism will bo promulgated and demonstrated. Each year witnesses some new departure in public affairs along the lines of social democracy, and in no instance have they been found detrimental to the well-being of the country. New Zealand furnishes a good example (to our legislators and people, and is providing the ideas of an education ,on the elevating influence of socialism ,that is proceeding apace. British Columbia is pre-eminently the land of labor, and it is meet nnd right that the toiler should have legislation to ameliorate his condition. In this respect our province is looked upon as the leader in the Dominion nnd, though the youngest In the confederation, it bids fair to soon becoming the sturdiest in direct and beneficial legislation. Workingmcn owe it to themselves to seo to it that their votes are cast right in thc coming election. DRILL POINTS. Newspapers of ancient date for sale at this office. J. A.
