McAllister and P. E.

It appears to us the citizens of Sandon should do something to honor two of McAdams' "damned fools" that have returned from the front. When they can banquet slanders and liars, they certainly 'should do something to' honor Canadians who risked their lives in the preservation of Great Britain's honor and integrity. It is lhe duty of mayor to act in the matter. The K. & S. Railway Company have had a great deal of trouble for some days with bush firee, but all tho same they have managed to give us a pretty fair service all through. Rev. Mr. Shearer, who represents the Lord's Day Alliance, delivered an interesting lecture here on Thursday evening on Sabbath Observance. At the close a branch of the alliance was formed with the Mr. Robb, president; Father Cote and Rev. Mr. Melntyre, vice presidents, and J, E. Lovering, sec.-treas.

He was created a barrister at 20 years of age, though it is hardly likely he will ever have to plead at the bar for a living. Had he to do it, however, ho could make his mark as he is oiie of the best platform speakers in his entire realm. Long Live the King. It is simply amusing to read the arguments of the penny whistle papers of the country advanced in favor-'of criticising in the press, the merits cases before the courts. The fact remains newspapers should not criticise such cases for evident ��������������������������� reasons. All of cases before courts arc supposed to be'decided by the evidence of witnesses. Witnesses are expected to tell just what they do'know of facts bearing on cases being tried, and not what thoy hear, are told, or read in the press. Many witnesses, however, are influenced by what they read and on the stand are prone to give what -th'e3r believe from reading or otherwise, and not what they know. It is to prevent tlie making of evidence for witnesses, that press comment is very properly prohibited. Mr. and Mrs. Melntyre, of the Glen Peebieshire, Scotland, came in on Thursday's C. P. R. for a visit with their daughter, Mrs. Scott, wife of Mr. A. Scott, manager of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. By missing a train at, Revelstokc, Ihey escaped the wreck of the previous day. Mrs, Melntyre went to Honolulu some two years ago witli a sou who was practically an invalid, and Mr. Melntyre went there a short time ago to bring 'her home. They called here on the return trip. Mr. Melntyre is one of tho leading horticulturists of Scotland, and has for several years occupied a position on the executive of the Scottish Royal Horticultural Society. They will remain a few days, as they want to take the ocean voyage about the, end of the month. te^D^'llSGIDB'N Engineer James Connaeker Killed. One of tiie worst railway accidents that ever took place in this vicinity occurred on tho Nakusp and Slocan branch of the C.P.R. some Smiles north of Rosebery on Tuesday last. At that point there is a trestle some 40 feet high, between two cuts, in a curve on tho road, which conditions rendered timely observation and precaution out of the question. As the train, which had but the engine and baggage and passenger cars, emerged from one cut and got on to the trestle, some 40 feet distant, Engineer James Connaeker saw the trestle was on fire, the wind blowing the smoke the other way and and preventing earlier observation, blew of! steam and whistled down the emergency brakes, but too late, as in an instant the engine was through tlie burnt trestle, the baggage car on top of it, and the passenger car one end down and the other end in the air. Fireman Clarice .with great presence of mind jumped out on the left a distance of 20 feet or more* and saved his life. A jump for the engineer On the other side on account of a creek would have been 40 feet or more; but, however, he did not make it, and his; charred remains were found next morning in the ruins, one leg and one arm being torn, off. How he met death no one knows, but Mines and Mining. The Payne has a couple of experts at work installing new electric drills. The Noble Five has 13 men at work and the force will bo increased later. The Antoine will soon have a shipment of ore to pack down to the K. & S. E.'M. Sand Hands says they are working six men at the Blue Bird, and have a cook employed. There is a large quantity of ledge matter in the vein, but so far the body of paystreak is not very large. Byron N. White returned to Spokane on Tuesday, and it is announced there is nothing new at tlie mine as there- suit of his visit. All told the property has 25 men at work on development mostly, and the mine is likely to run on this way till winter at least. Mr. E. G. Robinson, son of Alf Robinson, of London, Ont., is now in the camp for a year's residence. He and W. J. Patterson will commence assessment work on the Palmita,, near Three Forks, in a few days. He says it- is not unlikely the companies that own the Palmita and the Ajax, in both of which his father is interested, may ere long commence work on a large scale on these properties. Business with the American Boy is improving fast, and the staff will soon reach 40 to 50 men. The company have recently closed a contract with tho Noble Five Company to bringdown their the supposition is that he was caught ore over the train at the rate of 15 cars the Hotel Reeo Arrivals. ��������� J T Cance, Galesville; F J Deane, S P Tuck, J F Choate, Nelson; R Church, J-R Parke, Jas Lyon, J Hickey, Spokane; W S Drewrv, New Denver; D McDonald, F M Stout, Denver, Colo: J II Taylor, Winnipeg; P A Molson^ Salt Lake; W McDougall, J L Retnllack, W J Twiss, John Daly, Kaslo; J C Gray, J Snell, Vancouver; W Harris, Slocan. between the engine and the tender when the latter doubled' upon the former,and was killed instantly. Brake- man McCormick had one leg broken and the other badly bruised, but though all on the train were badly shaken up fortunately no one else sustained injuries of any��������� moment. There were on the train Dr. Power, who attended to the injuries of McCormick^ and he had him sent by handcar to Hill's thence by boat to New Denver hospital, the foreman of the Sunset mine, the C. P. li. road master,- bridge inspector, and two other oflicials and Mrs. A. Scott. As there are no bush (ires in the neighborhood, and no (ire was observed passing over some four or live hours before, the assumption is the fire caught from the engine in tlie morning, and no blame can be placed on anyone. In less than 10 seconds the two cars wen.* on fire, and in 20 minutes the train and all contents excepting four bags of mail which Baggageman Barton nianged to throw out, were in ashes. Barton lost some money, papersand other valuables. As soons as the train hands realized the situation Conductor Brett wired to Nelson for a passenger car, which brought in the passengers next morning, they having walked from the scene of the accident to Hill's in the evening, some four miles, when the boat met them and took them to New Denver. The remains of Connaeker were taken to Nelson, where we understand he has two sister, for burial. In life he was a genial and highly respected man. a month or so for, shipment to the Everett smelter. ' Late shipments gave a value of :fS00 a ton net to the car, which is fast wiping out the $15,000 debt at the first of the. year. Stoping is going ahead in, 3, 4, 5 and 6 levels, which are said to contain a supply for threo years or more. McAdams stole into town.Thursday night a couple of hours after dark, as he was ashamed to face the Sandon people. On his arrival a squeak from a half dozen or so of boys was given, that would do credit to a coon hunting party. After reaching the Miners' union hall, Jim Wilkes, the man who was chief instigator in throwing tho country on its beam ends and doing hundreds of honest miners out of employment, gayo a short address in defence of villifying human character and upsetting constituted authority, as these are McAdams' trump cards. F. J. Deans, of the Nelson News, was also there in the flowers of oratory, to see if he could help his paper thereby, no doubt. Ho will, however, know more on this head later on. The young people of the town who patronize all dance were there to partake in the dance that followed; but there was next to no oiie present from a distance. The outside public are of the opinion they at least should not condone vilification and falsehood. McAdams and pushers have learned from the exhibition the general public conclude they can gain but little by handling pitch.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1902. TO MINERS. It is not the duty of a public journal to lecture any class of the community on the way they should conduct their business, though it is its special duty to deal with all matters of a public character that afreet the interests of the country in which it ia published. The miner is the pivot of this country on which its future must move���������backwards or forwards. He is, therefore, entitled to the best consideration of all classes of the community. But whilo he is such an important factor in the advancement or retrogression of the country, he is powerless to accomplish anything without the aid of capital. In the development of the country, he is then the twin brother of capital. As the one advances or recedes, so must the other���������their interests are inseparable. Put this fact before many of the miners, however, and their awswer is, "Capital is here for speculation only." If this expression'was meant in its legitimate sense, no one could find.fault, but it is generally employed derogatively, meaning it is here to be plundered. This is the fatal mistake. There are 101 countries in which capital can be employed in 101 different ways with profit, instead of investing in,mines in British Columbia. This is an absolute fact, that should be borne in mind at every turn by the miners of British Columbia that expect to make a living at their calling. Our natural resources are good, and capital will come here if in sporting parlance it, is allowed "a fair fighting chance." If not allowed this, it will simply go where the odds are not against it. It will not play here continually with "the dice loaded"; this may as well be learned once for all. To come here and go into the fight, capital must be assured our legislation is not all one sided���������in favor of tbe miner���������rendering investments the subject for public or labor plunder. It must be assured of a reasonable chance of making safe investment and legitimate interest. It is not enough to assure a capitalist that if he makes three investments, losing two, he must be contented with bank interest on the third. He must be assured that if he loses two, he must be allowed a fair chance* over wages and other expenses to make on the third reasonable interest on his total investment. If this condition is guaranteed B. C. will get all the money it wants. If it is not assured things may drag on as they are for a lifetime. Sending windbags to parliament who promise everything to labor for the votes it brings, and demanding special legislation in the interest of miners, is not the way to encourage the income of NURSING MOTHERS A mother's poor health is bad enough for the mother but worse still for the nursing baby. Mothers find Scott's Emul- sion a nourishing and strengthening food. If the breast milk is scanty or thin Scott's Emulsion will make it rich ,nd more abundant. "When mothers take Scott's Em .sion the babies share in the benefits. Thin babies grow fat. Weak babies get strong. We'll send you a little to try, if you like. SCOTT & 130WNE, Chemists, Toronto. capital, the development of the country or labor for the laborer. It is the very reverse���������it is the millstone that cripples mining, and as a consequence throws a wet blanket over labor in all the other industries of the country. This is what we especially want to impress upon the miner. By the encouragement of capital, investments are made in every direction, labor comes into that demand that forces wages up to all that can be paid with profit to the employer. This aud this only, no matter what base wood politicians may say to the contrary, is all that can be done for labor, and the sooner miners learn it the better for themselves and the country. This is best for a dozen or more of the best of all reasons. It gives the highest wages on "the liye and let live" principle to the miners; it expands tluough them the resources of tbe country-lumbering farming, fishing, commerce, &c, employing labor at fair wages in all the other walks of life. But this is not all���������there is more that ought to have special force with the industrious miner, and talk with others on any reasonable basis is, of course, useless. There are miners by the thousand in this province that have claims or interests in claims they want to see converted into cash, and this conversion can only be made by the in come iof capital. The more capital that is encouraged to come in in safety, the greater will be the demand for mining claims and the more readily will the claim owner be enabled to realize. Five and six years ago,' money was plenty..and sales were easily made. The reason is that then we had no hamperinglegislation,capitalistshadtlie proverbial "fighting chance" that has course, some of them thought the original sentence was too severe: Now that the McAdams incident has been closed and the offending editor has been discharged from custody, it may not be inappropriate to make a few remarks regarding the matter. So much has been said in the press of Eastern Canada and so unanimous have the papers in that part of the Dominion been in condemning the action of the bench and calling for such legislation as would prevent citation for contempt under the circumstances' which were present in this case, that one might be quite well assured the eastern editors did not know what they were talking about. In very nearly every instance their absolute ignorance is their only possible excuse for the reflections which they are prone to make regarding affairs in tliis province. The fact that so much has been, said in the 'eastern publications regarding this matter has given it a seriousness out of all proportion to its importance. It is quite probable that it would have been better had the bench paid no attention whatsoever to the attacks made upon it by that obscure publication issued in Sandon, but, after' having determined to discipline the editor for liis comments upon the judiciary it is difficult to see how any punishment that would satisfy the case and be more now disappeared through the special lenient than that accorded him, could Marriage is very largely an accident. In few cases do men or women set up a standard of manly or womanly excellence and choose by it. In most cases people become engaged as the result of propinquity rather than because of any deep rooted preference. And so it often happens that the wire enters upon the obligations of maternity just as thoughtlessly as she entered on the marriage relation, because no one has warned her of the dangers she faces. Thousands of women, become invalids for lack of knowledge of themselves. It is to this large body of women that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription legislation demands by the pistols of the agitators and clamored for by the masses in a period of blindness. Of course, all wrongs can be rectified ; but before this can be done all miners and others must come to their sober senses and be led by their native judgment and not by the fire devourings of the smooth tongued agitators, who live in the tempests of troubles that always end in loss for the honest and industrious toiler. These are our honest convictione, and we place them before the industrious miners of this country. comes as a priceless boon, because it cures womanly ills. "Favorite Prescription" establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures 1 candidates for the whole country, for It is repoited in Rome quarters that incase of a general election this fall, Mr. John L. Retallack will likely become a candidate in the Slocan division. We have every respect for that gentleman, and every confidence in his ability to represent any constituency well and believe if he had been elected when he ran before it would have been a fortunate thing for the country as things turned out; but we dislike Importations, and think the Slocan should be ambitious enough to select candidates within its own boundaries. Last election, Kaslo sent out three candidates, and we know of no reason why it should bo allowed, ambitious as it is, to select female weakness. It makes weak women strong, sick women well. "After my first child was born," -writes Mrs. Jordan Stout, of Kawcettgap, Frederick'Co., Va., "my health was very poor for a loiig time, and last winter I was so bad with pain down in back I could hardly move without great suffering. ���������My husband got me a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and a vial of his ' Pleasant Pellets,' which 1 used as directed. In four days I was greatly relieved, and now, after using the medicine three months, Iseem to be entirely well. I can't see why it is that there are so many suffering women when there is such an easy wav to be cured. I know your medicines are the best in the world."

If King Soloinan was alive today, and knew McAdams from infancy, he could not have hit hi in squarer between the two eyes, than the Vancouver Province does in the following. Nearly every respectable paper in the province, that knows the Paystreak, is equally pronounced in denunciation of the print though, of have been meted out. All reflecting persons, knowing the circumstances of this case, will unhesitatingly agree that the sentence passed upon Mr. McAdams was no more than he deserved, and it is to be hoped that now that he has received a remission of his punishment he will take warning and keep a straighter course for the future. This newspaper editor has for some considerable time been inviting trouble. He has consistently courted the admiration of that section of. the-populace1 given to applauding newspaper articles which go beyond the bounds of the conventional on mora] questions, and which are prone to bid,i defiance, in a mere spirit of bravado, to all forms of constituted authority. Mr. MeAdiims has struggled hard to be a second Lowery, but he is unfortunate enough to lack the ability and prudence which distinguish the versatile editor of the New Denver Ledge. When ho failed, however, in incisivenees and force ho made good in violence and noise. Had Mr.,,McAdams been genuinely convinced that there was necessity for reform among the members of the judiciary of this province, and had he frankly and fearlessly pointed out where he though a change might bo made, or what individual memljer or members of the bench should be removed, and for what cause���������urging all this in the interests of the province and the judiciary itself���������he would have been regarded as a brave and public spirited man, mistaken, perhaps, but honestly mistaken and possessing the courage of his convictions and tho force of character to state his opinion. Instead of this, however, he sought simply to gain applause and notoriety for himself by making a sweeping charge of incompetency and want of .'character against the whole body of our judiciary. What he did, he did, not with the intention of remedying a public evil, if any exists, but with the idea of attracting popular attention by a display of cowboy journalism.

The .-McAdams' Incident. Continued from page 2. ��������� on sacred inslitiilions and delimit challenge's to the powers that be. together with general vilification of conspicuous public, men, is a leading characteristic of this style of newspaper writing. It is, however, no more needed in the mining camp than it is in (he oldest settled communities. The residents of the mining centres of British Columbia ., are as law abiding, as intelligent, and in eycry respect as responsible a body of men as can be anywhere found in Canada, and they possess no more sym-, pathy with violence or ��������� buiieoiiie than people elsewhere do. When Jlr. McAdams was cited for contempt and his sentence was passed upon him, he displayed the true spirit which actuated him by makinga humble and ample apology. Had he been convinced that his accusations were true and that it was desirable in the interests of the people thut the attention of the government should be called to evils possible of removal, he would have taken his punishment courageously and in the consciousness that it wi'fi not deserved ; and he would have been upheld and sustained as well by public applause as by that higher approval which he would have found in the recollection of his own motives. To commit an o fie nee in cold blood, to vilify the whole body of men to whom is entrusted the dispensing of justice in this country, to boast of what he had done, and while he was yet free to repeat his accusations and glory in his prospective martyrdom,and then, when taken in charge, meanly to evade the punishment ho knows he deserves, and which he intentionally courted, by confessing his fault and going on hi? knees to sue for pardon, is not tin act of a brave man satisfied with his own rectitude; it is not eveii the act of s, self respecting gamester. It-is gratifying to know that the remission of the sentence applied for has been granted. There is little, if-'any, fear of a recurrence of the oll'ence, and this being the case, nothing would be gained by punishing a craven. ���������In'such " cases' as this, however, it would hardly do for the Federal gov- veriiineiit to act on the suggestion made! by so many of the papers in Eastern j Canada, and promptly and unhesitatingly over rule the .findings of thej judges. Let the government see to it that in all cases men who are above reproach and above fear are appointed 'to the bench, and let their decisions, (���������specially in matters of this kind, be final.
