ESABLISHED 1892 WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 15, 1902 DAILY EDITION . H. PHILLIP THE AMERICAN CORN KING BREAKS AGAIN. A DROP OF THREE AND A HALF CENTS IN PRICE OF RYE THE CAUSE. CHICAGO, January 14.���A notice was posted at the opening of the board of trade today calling for the closing of all open deals with George H. Phillips, the former corn king. A heavy call for extra margins is said to have been the cause of the posting of the notice. The call was made yesterday afternoon, and Phillips and staff worked all night over the firm's books. The trouble is said to have been due to a 3 1-2 cent break in rye yesterday. Phillips is credited with holding a line of 1,500,000 bushels of this cereal, mostly in May options. The break yesterday was caused by a sale of 50,000 bushels. Phillips is said to have on his books also from four to five million bushels of May wneat and about three million bushels of May corn. It was said that the elevator interests would take over Phillips' entire line of rye at a figure close to the market. Mr. Phillips could not be seen following the announcement of the closing of his deals, but members of Iiis staff state that he was still in good financial condition. Hulbert, Phillips' office manager, declared that it was the suddenness of the call.for the extra 10 per cent mar: gins which had embarrassed Mr. Phillips. He stated that Mr. Phillips had traded but little on his own account, the grain for the most part belonging to customers. Mr.. Phillips later gave out a statement in part as follows: "The amount involved in my trouble of today is about $60,000. My customers had their trades well margined and if closed out toaay would bring a fair price. I can meet all my obligations. I was "long" about 1,200,000,rye, 5,000,000 wheat and 6.000,- 000' corn and oats. Saturday a member of the board interested in breaking the rye market sent notices calling for an extra 10 per cent on rye. This naturally caused selling orders Monday, and the representative of the member mentioned finding the market bare of orders, forced the market down three cents. A decline of one cent in wheat, coupled with rumors reflecting, on my strength, resulted in unusually heavy calls for margin. I was for the moment unprepared and the only alternative left was to close out. I have no excuses to offer and no complaints to make. 2nd, while in a field driving some stray cattle, Briggs, who was also there, accused him of frightening the cattle. He said that they called each other names and Briggs threatened to shoot the whole Jones family. Later Briggs appeared at the Jones home with a revolver, and when Mrs. Briggs went to the door Briggs shot her, following her into the kitchen and fired two more shots into the prostrate woman. Annie Jones, aged 14 years, corroborated her brother's testimony. The trial will last some days and interest in it is keen because no reason is known for Briggs' act, except dispute between neighbors over right of way in a road. After Thirty-four Years' Service.

TO BE LIONIZED BY THE AMERICANS. INSURGENTS SURRENDERED Fife Will Build This Boat. LONDON, January 14.���William Fife of Fairlie on the Clyde, is to build sir Thomas Lipton's next challenger for the America's cup. At a conference just held between sir Thomas Lipton and his advisors, definite arrangements were ���made for the construction of the Shamrock III, and an order for the new yacht was given Jo and accepted by Fife. In "view~o- 'th^pToblability^bf arbig'revivar of British yachting, and the fact that designing and superintending a cup challenger necessitates constant work for at least a year, Mr. Fife was somewhat dis- iclined to accept the big job, but sir Thomas found means of overcoming his objections. George L. Watson has promised to assist Mr. Fife in every way by handing over to him the details of the construction of tho Shamrock II, and all the calculations and details of the tank experiments made at the Denny's yard. With these, and the experience gained with the Shamrock I, Mr. Fife starts with a distinct advantage over his flrst efforts. In a recent conversation with a friend, Mr. Watson indicated that he still believed tho Columbia's victory over the Shamrock II was largely due to luck and that he believed the Shamrock II was quite Columbia's equal. Mr. Fife is already collecting material and will commence designing the Shamrock III as soon as the boats now on hand for the next British yachting season are fairly started, which probably will be at the end of this month. The Shamrock III is to be ready early in the spring of 1903.

WASHINGTON, January 14.���The war department was advised late this afternoon of an important surrender whicli occurred yesterday at Taal, Batangas, Philippine islands. The surrender included 1 colonel, 3 lieutenant-colonels, 1 major, 5 captains, 12 lieutenants, 245 men and 243 rifles. Marisigan, the colonel, was a leader of importance under the insurgent general Malvalar, operating in the western part of Batangas. That section is reported now to be practically clear of hostile forces. It is stated that the surrender was unconditional and due directly to the excellent service of the American troops. The loyal natives, it is added, believe this surrender will influence hostile bands in other sections of Batangas to surrender. Those prisoners, not charged with serious crimes have been released. WASHINGTON, January 14.���For the first time this session the Philippine question was touched in the senate. The interest taken in it indicates that it will occupy the attention of tlie upper branch of congress for some time when the tariff bill is reported. The Philippines were the subject of an address by Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts, who spoke on his resolutions, introduced yesterday, providing for the, appointment of a committee to investigate the administration of those islands. Mr. Hoar spoke at some length regarding the unreliability of statements which have been made, from time to time, regarding the situation in the Philippines and the causes which led to the outbreak. He urged that there should be a plan whereby any senator in his official capacity could go and ask for two witnesses to prove the correctness or incorrectness of any question upon which light is desired. Mr. Lodge, Mr. Hoar's colleague, said he regarded the resolution as a reflection on the Philippine commission of which he was chairman and the necessity for the latter would cease with this resolu- iton to be adopted. His committee, he said, was perfectly able to handle any investigation which might be conducted. Mr. Carmack, Democrat, agreed with him. The discussion was leading rapidly to an opening up of the whole Philippine question, when it was agreed that the resolution should go over until tomorrow. Mr. Mason made a speech in favor of reciprocity with Cuba and discussed the PJLQtectiye^policy general!y.

Olsen was picked up by Arthur Valdez, a fisherman, just beyond the Kelp, off Goleta. He was more dead than alive, but was able to tell of the wreck of his boat, the Belle, a staunch gasoline schooner, which he and Wallace used in cruising about the fishing grounds. Olsen and Wallace were residents of San Pedro and left, that port seventeen days ago. While cruising several miles south of Santa Cruz island a heavy sea rose and capsized their craft. Clinging to the capsized boat; without food or water, they drifted, suffering great tortures. On the 14th day Walr lace's strength gave out and crazed and starving, he slid off the boat and disappeared under the waters. For three days longer Olsen held on and was finally rescued, half dead, by Valdez. It is thought that he will recover from the result of his terrible experience. A Jap Murdered.

AMERICA APPOINTS REPRESENTATIVES TO ATTEND THE CORONATION. WASHINGTON, January 14.���The approaching visit of prince Henry of Prussia to attend the launching of the kaiser's jacht, now building in New York, also was considered at today's cabinet meeting. No definite plans for- the prince's entertainment as yel have-been arranged, but it is the purpose of the president and the secretary of state to receive and entertain the prince in any way to do the highest honor to the kaiser and the German people. Several notable functions are certain to be arranged, including a state dinner at the White House. Cable advices received here indicate that prince Henry will .arrive off Now York about February ISth. While Dr. Von Hollenbcn, the" German ambassador, has not been advised fully as to the details' of prince Henry's visit to this country, it is the opinion of the embassy officials that the stay of the royal visitor will not extend over a fortnight. The voyage of iho imperial yacht Hohenzollern will be so timed that the vessel will arrive oft' New York in season to join the steamer which will bring prince Henry so that he may board the yacht and proceed on to bo met by the reception fleet of naval vessels and steamers, which will escort the Hohenzollern into New York harbor. The president is showing a great deal of interest in the arrangements.for prince Henry's reception, and lie himself called . the matter up in cabinet today. It was too early to map out any definite, program for the reception, but to secretary Hay and secretary Long were left the arrangements of details. It is probable when the Hohenzollern takes prince Henry off from tho liner she will be escorted from the lower t.-ay down to Sandy Hook by admiral Dewey's old flagship, the Oiympia or the San Francisco, which has been the flagship of the European squadron. Both of these fine ships have been almost completely reconstructed In the Boston and New York navy yard. It has been suggested that the captain of" either of the ships would not have sufficient rank to meet th>s German admiral, se2i-��tary Long has taken under consideration the propriety of appointing rear admlra' Rohjey D.. F.vanp as a special representative for this occasion. He is known personally to the prince, who was in command at the great naval demonstration at Kiel, where admiral Evans represented- the United States navy, on the cruiser New York. BERLIN, January 14.���It has been announced that prince Henry of Prussia, on his return from the United States, will be deputed to represent emepror William at the coronation of king Edward. WASHINGTON, January 14���The cabinet meeting today was devoted to the consideration of the appointment of representatives to this country at the coronation of King Edward V1T. At its conclusion tho following designations were announced by tho secretary of state who are to be s_ ec- ial representatives of tne United States government at the coronation of kins Edward: Special ambassador, Whitetaw Reid of New York; representative of the United States army, general Charles H. AVilson of Delaware; representative of the United States navy, captain Charles 15. Clark, commander of tho battleship Oregon during the Spanish war. and now governor of thenaval home at Philadelphia. There are to be three secretaries as follows: J. P. Morgan, Jr., son of J. Pierpont Morgan of New York: Edmund Lincoln Baylies, a barrister of New York, and William Wetmore, son of senator AV'etmore of Rhode Tsland. Mr. Choate, our ambassador to London, who sailed today for his post will not, strictly speaking, have any official conncc- tion with the special coronation _emba.ssy^ This was the fact during the golden jubilee, when ambassador Hay was not even ex- offlcio a member of the special representation of the United States government. As a matter of fact, however, the United States ambassador is a very important figure in the ceremonies and is, In almost every instance, attendant upon all the functions in which the special representatives participate. General J. IT. AVilson had a conference with, secretary Root at Ihe war department this afternoon and formally accepted the appointment as military member of the special embassy to London at the coronation of king Edward.

January 14.���Mr, Gooderham is not connected with the Manufacturers' Life Insurance Company. The Vancouver Trades and Labor Council were in error, it seem.:, in boycotting the Manufacturers' Life Insurance Company in conjunction with the Gooderham interests in British Columbia. The mistake was caused by the fact that Mr. Gooderham was for a number of years prosident of the company. About two years ago, however, he disposed of his interest in the Manufacturers' Life, and when the company was amalgamated with the Temperance and General Life last year, the Hon. G. AV. koss was elected president of the united companies. At present Mr. Gooderham is not on the board, nor is he or any other ot the Gooderham syndicate in any way connected with the company. There is no doubt, of course, in the face of these facts, the union will withdraw tho name of the Manufacturers' Lire from the boycott, and remedy the harm done as far as possible.

LONDON, January 14.���Perhaps the most important point in lord Kitchener's weekly report, dated Johannesburg, Monday, January 13th, is the omission of all mention ot general Dewet, from which it is deducted' that the British commander is more than hopeful of effective results from his present effort to surround Dewet. The British commander-in-chief reports that .since Director Frecheville's Report. .In his report to the shareholders of the Le Roi company, managing director R. J. Frecheville makes a most vigorous attack upon the way in Avhich the property Avas operated by general manager Bernard McDonald and smelter manager Bela Kadish. His report, which is a lengthy one, has just been submitted to the stockholders. -In it he says in part: "My investigation shows that > there has been very great extravagance and loose management resulting in unwarranted expenditures and high working costs; also that under proper control your property Avould htive paid' dividends from the start." Commenting on the cost of producing Le Roi ores, Mr. Frecheville says that great reductions can be made in mining and smelting costs, much extraneous expense can be cut off and in future total costs Avill not exceed $. per ton, which would leave a profit of ?2.75 of the grade ore now in reserve. This estimate of profit Avas based on copper at 10 1-2 cents. He gaAre a lengthy list of machinery purchased for the mine for Avhich he says no use will be had, and Avinds up this paragraph with these remarks: "Evidently the appetite for purchasing machinery grows-with feeding." Mr. Frecheville is specially severe in his strictures on the smelter management under tho old regime. He says in part: "The metallurgical Avork has been very bad. By using strong blast and very high percentage of coke the ore has been smelted, but at hoAV much extra cost and at how great loss in flue dust Avill never be known. Amongst the purchased ores smelted were U23.S tons of concentrates from the Baker City sampling Avorks, assaying 3.27 ounces of gold per ton. These were often charged into the furnaces raw without briquetting, the result being that a large percentage of this valuable material has been carried by strong blast through the condensing chambers, up the stack and scattered over the surronding country. "It appears that as Bela Kadish, late manager of the smelter, is owner of the Baker City sampling works, he was thus in the position of buyer and seller at the same time, and the more concentrates that Avere used the better it was for his business. The new manager, Oscar Szon- tagh, has already made many great, improvements. He purchased no more con- TOntratcsT^aW"^^ them to make matte of grade in gold required by your contract with the American Smelting & Refining Comapny. "He has completely done away Avith granulation- and calcination of Ioav grade matte; this will- very largely reduce the smelting cost, and to a great extent obviate mechanical loss in handling and loss in flue dust. "Tho double decked calcining furnace, recently erected by Mr. Kadish at a cost, including a building to cover it of $27.- 355, will never be used on your ores. The consumption or coke has also been reduced, and with all this there has been no reduction in the quantity of ore put through the furnaces, n��, with four running, over 800 tons of ore per day are now being smelted. "The coke used costs ?I0 per ton. When the Great Northern Railway Company has completed its branch into tlu> Ci'oav's Nest coal fields, it is probable that you will be able to get coke at about $8 per ton. As about 200 tons per day arc used this means a notable saving." Tho strike question is dealt with., as follows: "I am of the opinion that the strike Avas mainly brought about by the injudicious and arbitrary action of Bela Kadish. The strike at Rossland is sympathetic. The demand for an increase of 50 cents per day in muckers' wages is simplv a pretext. More muckers than are wanted can be got for $2.50 per day. which noAV is and always has been the rate of pay for this class of labor at Rossland. As a matter of fact the strike was, according to the by-laws or the union itself, illegally called. Tbe battle having once begun has to be fought out if you wish to have control over the working of your property. "Any concef-'^i. no matter how slight, to the C.->..-���: :-.i or tbe union, would be hailed as a victory and would be followed by still further demands. The rank and file of Rossland Minors' Union would now gladly call off Mm strike, but thoy are powerless to do so. as tljov are under the control of profos- sionaf agitators. Avho in turn arc ruled by the orders of the Western Federation of Minors at Denver." Extradited for Embezzlement.

MEGKEM'S LATESTFORTUNE Made in Texas Oil. The following is an excerpt from a description of the oil fields of Beaumont, Texas, published recently in >a special edition of the National Oil Reporter, NeAV York. It relates to an enterprising individual Avho for a time flourished in the district immediately south of the boundary line near Rock Creek, and Avho Avas Avell known throughout the Boundary district: "Most of the instances in which fortunes were made suddenly after the Lucas gusher came in represented either sheer luck or combinations of circumstances in which results were achieved by various light efforts on the part of the beneficiaries. But occasionally during those first feverish days a' man emerged from the crowd whose methods carried the hall marks of financial genius. George B. Mechem was one of those. Two days after the Lucas came in Mr. Mechem was on the ground. The people of Beaumont were still dazed by the discovery. They understood, in a general way,..that a groat fortune was to be had for the grasping; but most of them were not sure just how to grasp it. Those Avho were fortunate enough to hold land on Spindle Top feared to put a' pricu on tile property; thosu who Avanted land there did liot dare to bid the prices which the proximity to gusher land would seem to Avarrant.. "Mr. Mechem drove from the Crosby house, Beaumont, to Spindle Top; he saw the Lucas, talked with everyone who might know something about the situation and then returned. The next morning he asked the owners of a small tract of land on Spindle Top to .make him a price. Their answer was that because of the changed conditions they did not know Avhat their property was fairly worth. Mr. Mechem offered $10,000 for two acres. Ten days before land in the vicinity had been selling for $5 and $10 an acre. The astonished owners accepted the offer. This is said to have been the first sale after'oil was round. "In New Orleans, next day, Mi-. Mechem had to assure a local banker that he had not suddenly gone mad when he asked $100,000 for one of his two acres. Must to show you that my judgment is good,' Mr. Mechem said, 'and that I have the nerve to back my judgement, I'll let you put $100,000 in the bank, take thatjicre, drill on it, and if by 1400 feet you've" norfor1a^ti_lmi'ry-u^li*aAv"dowm the money. If you have one I draw it down. I know that I've sized up tne situation at Beaumont. I'm willing to sell my goods with a guarantee.' "The bargain was concluded. In less than sixty days the gush or was in and Mr. Mechem had drawn down the $100.- 000. The banker and his associates had a gusher that would sell for ton times that sum. The first operator avIio risked his money on the situation created by the Lucas showing had $00,000 clear and ���in acre of land Avhich in all human probability, will bring him a fortune sullicient foi Mie rest of his days. This is the story >f tbe llrst purchase and first guar !. Land sales and guarantees of g..hhors are common enough now that the field is proven. But that first grand stroke of Mr. Mechom's made while the world was still wondering, showed an insight into the future and u willingness to hack that insight that should be written down when the history of the Beaumont fields is told."

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire, January 11.���The destruction of the Kennard, a granite structure, considered to be the finest omce building in New England north of Boston, proved to be the worst'fire ln many years, the loss being a round half million dollars. Besides the Kennard, tho ��� Smythe block was practically ruined and considerable damage was doneto the homo of the Deryfield club. In the Smythe block were the Park theater, occupied tonight by J. "_. Little's dramatic company, a printer, and two banks. The Are started"at 9.o'clock in the clothing store of Allen & Kimball. The flrst warning that the occupants of tlie Kennard had was' an explosion, which, resounded through the city like a cannonading. At the time the explosion occurred the board of trade was-in session and a rush was made for tlie exits. The heat was so intense that the firemen had.to fall back and give their attention to the surrounding buildings. Despite all they could do tho flames jumped across the street and set fire to the Smythe block. AA'hen one of the rear walls of the Kennard fell, the roof of the extension of the Deryfield club was ignited but the firemen saved the main building. Much other adjoining property was considerably damaged by both Are and water. Tho cause of the fire is believed to have been located in the new electrical connctions of Allen & Kimball's store. The chief.figures of loss are given as follows, Kennard $250,- 000. tenants $200,000, Smythe'-.- block $20,000, Deryfield club $10,000, other property $10,000.

"Vldlor Pa'pworth are candidates for mayor. The former will "be elected, although It will be a close fight. Mr. Papworth is" supported by what is termed ''the better class," filso having tho' K. .R. .&, N. crowd shoving him along, while Mr. Goodenough Is content to risk his chances with the brains and bone and sinew of the city. Ex-mayors Green, McAnn and Carlson are strong supporters of Goodenough. For aldermen there are only seven candidates���six to be elected. Those mentioned are: D. J. Young, the newsy, F. E. Archer the tinker. J. D. Keenan tho smithy. G. L. Kennedy the wood butcher, Sam Faweett the sawmill hand, P.; McGregor the ice man, and Archie Fletcher the navigator. The majority of the candidates are supporters of Goodenough. Tho only ones of the old council running aro Archer and Kennedy. - AV'ellford AV. Beaton, who played an engagement on tlie Kootenaian, also on several Kasloites a short time ago, has an article in the last Canadian Magazine entitled "A New Canadian Glacier," describing a trip two years ago up the south fork of Kaslo creek with the Mansfield party.

MONTREAL, January 14.���The Stein controversy, which aroused much interest ia Anglican church circles throughout Canada a few months ago, has been settled. Archbishop Bond, it will be remembered, inhibited Prof. Stein, a member of the faculty: of the Diocesan college, from preaching in tlie diocese on account of erroneous doctrines ho was alleged to have given utterance to. Discussion of tho question gave rise to some unseemly incidents and finally, resulted ln Stein suing the archbishop. A_ a result- of the settlement Stein withdraws his suit, apologizes to the archbishop, retracts his erroneous doctrine and is restored to his standing In the church. Senator Prowse Dead.

After being given a year's trial as mayor, Mr. Fletcher should be able to show what he has done that is an improvement over what was done by his predecessors in office. Mr. Fletcher has not.made any such showing. |The people, therefore, will tell him to stand aside on Thursday in order to give.an-*" other man a chance. That other man is John A.

Nelson was incorporated as a city in April, 1807, four years aud nine months ago. In that short time, Frank Fletcher has been a candidate for office seven times. This is a statement of fact. to 9\ to to 9\ to to WE WILL CONTINUE DURING THIS On Saturday next,..pub-cribera whose Tribunes are d-livered -by carrier will, be expected to pay the carxier TWENTY CENTS, the subscription, price for the current week. The other day The Tribune asked candidate Fletcher a dozen plain questions. So far he has not answered any of them. He tells his friends, so it is said, that the questions were blackguardly. It is true, everything that appears in The Tribune is blackguardly when the views expressed are contrary to the views of Mr. Fletcher and his supporters. There is one question the people of Nelson; are asking that candidate -Fletcher should be compelled to answer before election day, and that is: "Why has not a liiian- cial statement, for the year 1901, duly certified to by the auditor, been laid�� before the people?" They want to know ^hbwrhuchTnoney-wasraised'duringTthe1 . year and what became of it. They also want to know how much the city is in debt to the Bank of Montreal and how much is owing on outstanding accounts. Surely, the people are entitled to an answer. According to the report of the city engineer, $13,548 were expended on the streets and ?6125 on sidewalks, close on to $20,000 in all. People say that there is little permanent work to show for such a large expenditure. Apart from widening the wharf and grading the west end of Baker street, no other good work seems to have been done. Standing-Candidate Fletcher takes; objection to The Tribune because it states that John A. Kirkpatriek is an honest man. He says that such a statement is a reflection on him (Fletcher); that it means that he (Fletcher) is not an honest man. Mr. Fletcher is too sensitive. The Tribune has repeatedly given him credit for being an honest horse trader, if not a successful one. Alderman Gillett of the East ward, who is a candidate for re-election, stated yesterday that the Miner's report of his speech at the opera" house meeting was not a fair one. The question might be asked: Did the; Miner ever make a fair statement on any question during a civic election? The gang who use the Miner for a mouthpiece do not know the meaning of the word "fair."

EIRKPATBIGK Candidate for Mayor and Alderman-Gillette is no longer in good standing with the Fietcherites. iHis candid statement at the opera house on Monday night was not at all to their liking. The Fietcherites voted almost to a man for the West Kootenay Power & Light Company by-law, which alderr man Gillett now unhesitatingly states would have been a bad bargain for-the city had it carried. Men who deliberately plan bad bargains are not safe men to trust in office. I Candidate Fletcher is reported as saying that the city rock crusher, and which he is reported as saying cost $2000 was- loaned by his predecessors in oilico, and that the city never received a cent for its use. Surely candidate Fletcher, unreliable and reckless as he often is in making statements, was not so foolish as to make such a statement. The rock crusher cost in the neighborhood of ��-00. Late in the fall of 1900 it was loaned to a Mr. Gunn, who had a contract to put in the piers of the C. P. ft. bridge across the Columbia river. It was to be returned in good condition within a month. It was returned, and the auditor's report of the city's receipts for the first nine months of the year 1901 show that ?150 were paid for its use. Reckless statements should not be made by a man aspiring to the highest office in the gift of the people of Nelson. Alderman Selous and alderman Hamilton and alderman Paterson say they are seeking re-election as aldermen simply because their acts as aldermen have been criticized, and not because they want to be aldermen. Do these three genial gentlemen believe themselves perfect, so perfect that they can serve a term as aldermen without making mistakes? Alderman Gillett admits that he has made mistakes as an alderman, and wants the people to give him another chance���to make more mistakes. Alderman Gillett is at least straightforward and manly in declaring that he is a candidate because he likes to be an alderman.

WEDNESDAY EVENING January 15th. One campaign lie that the Fietcherites are industriously circulating is that The Tribune has opposed the employment of French Canadians on the new postoffice building. No line has ever appeared in The Tribune that could possibly be construed as reflecting on either the character or the patriotism of French Canadians. Churches should French Canadians. It is rather late in the day for the Fietcherites to raise the race cry. They should have started that earlier in the campaign.

Luck Changes. Once there was a staid Business Man who was hooked up with a hoop-la Spender. It Avas often remarked that Hiram's Wife seemed to take it for granted that Treasury Notes grew on Trees. She wore those long lozenge- shaped Rings that blind the Spectator, and she had a different Sunburst for every Day in the Week and a Diamond Tarara that made the other Women sizzle with Envy. She wore a trailing Worth Gown that kept coming into the Room long after she had entered. Now and then she.would give a Party at which $80 worth of Spinach would be hung up on the Chandeliers. Tho highest priced Caterer in Town would deal out the sparkling Conversation Water as if it were Burt Bi-Bosh of the Local Knickerbockers. He never pranced into the Ring himself for Fear that he might Interfere or throw a Shoe, but he sat back in Section A and rooted for the Missus. Every time she was awarded a Blue Ribbon for another Social Triumph, he was pleased beyond Compare. Hiram was a Child of Nature, and he never had been able to outgrow his Birthright. Even when he was attii-d in his $135 Evening Clothes, one could tell by looking at him that he knew how to milk a Cow. He had more Hands and Feet than he could dispose of at one Time. Hiram could not comb his Hair so that it would Stay, and although he never contrived to get the Hang of a tie-for-yourself Bow Tie, so he used the kind that fastens behind with a little Buckle. It was even said that Hiram was unable to put the Studs in his Shirt without getting Finger-Marks on the Bosom. Hiram's Wife or Daughter Jessie always had to go to his Room and look him over and turn him around a couple of times before they dared to lead him out where the Company could see him. When there was a Theatre Party Hiram always set back between the Curtains so as to avoid spoiling the Picture, and at the same time kept the Draught away from the other People. At a Dinner Party he was usually put in between two gabby Girls who had tacit instructions to keep him elbowed into the Background.. And yet, Avithal, Hiram was a Man of Sterling Worth and many admirable Qualities. He was the Family Gibraltar, while his Wife and Jessie were supposed to he mere Floral Ornaments. Best of all, Hiram was known to be a Star at getting theCoin. The Fact that the Family put up such a tall Front in the Society Column helped the Pupblic to believe that Hiram was as good as Old Wheat and as prosperous as a Kansas farmer. And he was supposed to he long on Business Integrity. It was argued that one so Happy would have to be correspondingly Honest Hiram was so Severe and Puritanical and had so much clinging Agricultural Simplicity that no one dreamed the Truth about him. In Reality, his Arteries were surcharged Avith Sporting Blood. When no one suspected it, he. liked to put on a Mask and sneak out and hold up the Stock Market. That is what he did until one sad Day in May, the Stock Market up and Did him. He got it right where the Hired Girl wears the Rutching. ; Hiram came home as Pale as a Ghost ahd broke the News that he was in the Hole. He hesitated to tell the Wife, for she was a Fragile Being, unassus- tomed to the rude Buffets of the Streir- uous Life, and he feared that such a cruel Blow might crush her. But he finally divulged the frightful Truth and then flopped to the- Settee and began to Bluff about killing himself so that she could get the Insurance Money. She told him to Behave, and then she went out and made a Cup of Strong Tea for him. Hiram had been the Imposing Figure so long as he had his Financial Under- pining, but when they yanked away his Supports, he did a horrible Collapse. When he got the Swing in the Plexus and toppled over, he proved to he a sorry uiter. He lay on his back and claimed a Foul, while his Wife and Jessie hustled around to save some of the Wreckage. They gave up the Servants and soaked the Jewels and moved, into a smaller House. It was a rapid Come-Down, but even while they were doing the Parachute they continued to look Pleasant and be Game. Although their Female Friends came around to express Sympathy and stick Pins in them they forced the Angelic Smile and did not act a bit like Heavy Losers. They had to take in Roomers and give Lessons in China-Painting in order to ~sai^rHiFaW=from-iithe-"Poor-Houseraud yet with all their Skimping and Economizing they never pretended to know Poverty. When a Man loses his Money he goes to his Bed-Room to _rlnk himself into a Trance. A Woman lights the House from Cellar to Garret and sends out invitations for a Party. On an income of about $3 a Week, Hiram's Wife and Daughter managed to keep up appearances and occasionally to have some of their old Friends to Dinner. Hiram never understood how they managed It. When he looked at the Cold World, he was for giving up the disappearing beneath the Waves. His Wife braced him and told him to think of Jessie. Hiram wept and said there was no Hope for tho Child of a Pauper. Notwithstanding Avhich, Hiram's wife kept the Family right along in the Swim, and married Jessie to a desirable Catch. It is true that she starved the Household for six months in order to give the Young Couples a daisy Send-Off. And all this time Hiram, the astute Business Manager, was standing around on one Foot like a Town Simpleton at t. Kissinc Bgg. Hiram had learned how to do things with Money, but ho hacb.to turn to his frivolous Wifelby to find out how to Manage it when there"was no Money. In other words, Hiram discovered that Cash had been the Essence of his Existence, while it had been the mere accidental Adjunct to his Wife's Social Campaigns. Without a big Reserve, he was a Smoke. She, minus her Check-Book, rose to greater Heights of Diplomacy. In time she succeeded in resuscitating her groggy Husband and putting him back on the Track, but he had lost his Ginger. He was stoop-shouldered and gray as a Bat. She turned up at the Club Meetings just as chipper as of Yore, only she came hy Trolley instead of Coupe.

The musical portion of the evening's entertainment was provided by Millward's orchestra. Refreshments wore served about midnight, and as a result of the affair the finances of the boat club will be largely assisted. Tho social tendered to Rev. F. H. Graham, the now incumbent of St. Saviour's church, was a great success. The reverend gentleman has created a very favorable impression," and at his inaugural services wa.s greeted by a large congregation.

BLOCK MELSON TO THE ELECTORS OF NELSON: There are issues in the present civic campaign that, in my opinion, should be carefully considered by the electorate. The flrst and most important is the public utilities in whicn the city has invested very near $200,000. How they can best be made and kept efficient, so that their earnings will lessen the burdens of taxation, should be the chief concern of the incoming council. If elected mayor I will urge the council to secure the services of a recognized expert on electricity and hydraulics to report on the condition of the present electric lighting plant and the best LKAVK i p.m. i p.m. KOOTENAY LAKK STEAMBOATS Balfour, Pilot Bay, Ainsworth Kaslo and all Way Landings, (DaUy excopt Sunday) Lardo and all points on tho Lardo & Trout Lake Branch (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays'.)

The second is to see that close and careful collections of rates, taxes, and licenses payable to the city are made, so that the obligations of the city may be met promptly without making overdrafts on the bank. Third, JEmcient service from all the employees of the city, high'and low, and the getting of full value for every dollar spent in purchasing supplies, Fourth, . The "expensive road-making plant purchased by the city in 1900 should not be allowed to stand idle and rust, and I believe that if the revenues of the city are closely collected there would be money available to keep the plant running constantly in macadamizing and improving such streets as Ward, Vernon, Hall, and Front. It is useless to promise men fair wages and keep them in idleness. If elected mayor I will do my best to give them both fair wages and work. Fifth. Nelson's future' growth depends on the location nere of manufacturing industries, and, in my opinion, it is the. duty of the council to take the initiative, in making known Nelson's advantages in that respect. Work will bring prosperity, and prosperity tends. to make people both cheerful and happy, even if they do differ sometimes on political questions. Respectfully, JOHN A. KIRKPATRICK. Nelson, January 11th, 1902. CITY AND DISTRICT. Alex Taylor district land agent of-thcCr- P. R., returned the other evening from Winnipeg, where he has been during the past few weeks renewing old acquaintances. ' > G. K. Tackabury, agent of the Great Northern system, has returned from his vacation. During the last four weeks lie has been rusticating in the land of sunshine and flowers, having visited at Los £iikele.s ar.d other California town3 and southern lands. The cold snap of the past few days has been an agreeable one to the skating fraternity of tho city. Purj.ng daylight hours the ice at the old shipyard' is literally covered with skaters, and 111 the evenings the Mug is the great center of attraction and is liberally patronized. The funeral of Samuel Hoekaday, who was killed at the Bondholder mine on Saturday last, took place yesterday afternoon from' the Salvation Army barracks. The remains were followed to the grave by the Miners' Union and a number of friends. The deceased was highly respected. The Crow's Nest Coal Company are extending their trade to the States, and are at the present time shipping their coke in forty-car lots to the Nortliport smelter, where the coke is being largely used by that corporation. Forty cars were shipped through Nelson yesterday for that point. If the Miner heard the comments made by its friends on its insane ravings, it would never again take actiee part in a political campaign. It does not seem to l'now the difference between a mendicant and an honest workingman. No matter how ,pcor the latter may be', he is never a beggar for office or for drinks. Plans and specifications for tho erection of a block in the new town of Ashnola for D. R. Young have been prepared by architect Ewart of this city. The Young lloek Is a two-story structure, with commodious a.id handsome stores on the ground floor, and equally handsome and commodious suites of rooms on the us- iier floor. Ward B. Falk, agent of the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, whose head oflice is in Montreal, says the business of his company was good last year. The total applications received amounted to ?15,(>1S,- 1-11.8:!. being an Increase of $1,776,272.38 over the record for 1!)00. The business in this province increased a shade over 25 per cent. Mr. Falk has been promoted. He will shortly leave Nelson to take charge of the company's business in the peninsula of Michi- gfinT with headquarters either at Marquette or the Soo. On Monday afternoon last a couple of Chinaman living on the outskirts of the. rlty were placed under arrest by provincial constable "Rullock-Wubster. It appears that frequent charges have been made against unknown parlies in regard to the constant pilfering which it is alleged hnsn been committed at the pest house.

Nejson, January 4th, 1302. ANNOUNCEMENT. Will Candidate Fletcher Explain. An elector who was so desirous of electing; Standing-Candidate; Fletcher mayor in 1900 that he voted for him in both wards was placed on the voters' list this year when the entries in the city's Receipt Register show that. ho paid his real estate taxes two days after the date on whicli tho law requires the mayor to certify to the correctness of the list. Yet such, well- known citizens as alderman Madden and ox-postmaster Gilker and hotelkeeper Curran, who paid their taxes a few days later wore left off the list, Will mayor Fletcher explain why this was done? -The people want an explanation before election day. Are the entries in the Receipt Register wrong? or was tho name of the elector who took the double-header.in 1900 improperly placed on the voters'-list? Water-Works Statistics, According to figures prepared by city enginer McCulloch, the city's waterworks system cost $101,360.35 to construct and $7787.S« to maintain, or a total of $109,l-IS.:t9. Tho system has earned $52,2S4.11 in receipts. This leaves the waterworks system in debt to the city to the amount of $56,934.28, to which should be added the amount paid in interest on construction debentures, say $18,750. The waterworks therefore stands tho city today at $75,614.2S. Last year the water receipts amounted to $17935.66, as ~againsr$t4"435-X2'liri900r^-" ; Streets and Sidewalks.
