Schofiald.\nFOUR ACCLAMATIONS IN KOOTENAY AND BOUNDARY.\nNomination day is now passed and\nlhe final stage of the electoral con-\ntost has begun. On the result of yesterday's nominations the supporters\nof tho government in Kootenay and\nthe Boundary have good reason to\n\u25a0congratulate themselves. Four seats\nnre already won. Hon. Thomas Taylor is eleeted by acclamation in Revelstoke, In Kaslo Mr. Nell F. Mackay\nwins the seat without a contest, Mr.\nErnest Miller Is re-elecled for Grand\n\u25a0Forks and In Cranbrook Mr. T. D.\nCaven takes the sent by acclamation.\nIt Is a striking and well-deserved tribute to the excellence of the service\nrendered to their constituencies and\nto the province by Messrs. Taylor,\nMackay, Miller and Caven, and It is\nan equally strong indication of the\npopularity and public support that the\nMcBride government has won for\nits-elf by its able administration.\nIn other constituencies in Kootenay\nnnd tbe Boundary the opposition bas\ndecided to test public sentiment at\nthe polls, and in these cases also the\nresult of yesterday's nominations gives\nto supporters of tbe government good\nground for gratification. The standard bearers of tho government are\nnot only strong candidates but In\nevery respect worthy of the cause they\nrepresent. In Fernie, Hon. W. R. Ross\nbears the government standard; in\nNelson, Mr. W. R. Maclean; in Tmlr,\nMr. J. H-. Schofield; In Greenwood,\nMr. J. R. Jackson; In. Slocan, Mr.\nWilliam Hunter; in Rossland, Mr.\nLome A. Campbell, and in Columbia,\nMr'. H.G: Parson. All stand high in\npublic: estimation. All have rendered\ndistinguished public service. Without\nexception they are candidates in whom\nlust a Nice Size\nand a Very\nDesirable Property\nTwo full size city lots, sis\nconvenient rooms. Bath, full\nplumbing, electric light, gas for\ncooking, furnace for winter\nheating.\nPrice $2,400\nOn   terms  by  arrangement.\nThis property Is particularly\nrecommenced as being excellent\nvalue and n very comfortable\nresidence. We will be pleased\nto show you over the house at\nany timo to suit your convenience and advise early attention.\nMcQuarrie & Robertson\nany constituency may feel pride, and\nwithout exception they aro admirably\nqualified to render valuable service in\nVictoria. ',\nOf the opposition candidates there\nis Utile that need be said. Most of\nthem are comparatively unknown and\nuntried men. They are representative\nof various schools of thought, but\nwhat Is most important to remember,\nthey are asking for support as opponents of the government. They arc\nbrakes on the wheels of progress.\nThey offer the province nothing practical and their election would weaken\nthe government and hamper thc good,\nwork that It Is doing for the province.\nTheir tendency ls reactionary, and tbo\nprovince lias good reason to dread\nretrogression. Unexampled progress\nhas been fostered by the administration of thc McBride government. Thc\nprovince has been lifted from a morass\nof difficulties to firm ground on which\nbeams brightly tho sun of prosperity.\nCan It afford to endanger Its present\ncondition or to risk another plunge\ninto the slough of despond?\nLIBERALS SUPPORTING THE\nGOVERNMENT.\nYesterday's nominations made it\nmore than ever clear that the majority\nof the Liberals of British Columbia\ndo not believe that, in the Interests of\nthe province, it is desirable at the\npresent time to do anything that\nmight endanger the policy that Is\nproving of so much advantage to British Columbia. In many constituencies\nno Liberal candidate has offered himself as an opponent to the government,  strong evidence that thc rank\nnd file of the Liberal party is in the\npresent election supporting tbe administration,\nThere has been a recent attempt on\nthe part of some of the self-constituted leaders of the party to arouse\npartlzan antagonism to the government,  but  with   little   success.    The\neason is evident. These self-constituted   leaders are discredited  and arc\n\u25a0pudiated by tho great majority of\nthe sincere Liberals of the province\nbecause, as the Vancouver World, the\nchief Liberal organ,  recently  frankly\nonfeased, thoy have \"stood on no\nprinciples in particular,\" they have\ngone    into    the    electoral   campaigns\nnot for the great reform principles\nfor which they imagined they were\nfighting,  but merely to procure place\nnd power for peoplo to whom politics   mean  nothing  more  than  party\npportunlty.\"\nWhen this Is the case It is not surprising that Liberals everywhere have\nturned from such leaders ond are supporting thc government in its efforts\nto give thc province honest and able\nadministration. And on Its part the\ngovernment Is striving earnestly and\nSuccessfully to merit tho confidence\nlhat Liberals are placing in it. It\nknows no party when partlzan advantage migiit conflict with its duty to\nthe province. Its policy Is designed\nto benefit every resident of BrltlBh\nColumbia,   Liberal   and   Conservative\nThis Date in History. \\\nsir Henry Besemer, famous English\nmetatluiglBt and Inventor, died on March\n].\"i. 1S9S.

W. J. Bowser, arrived In Nelson\nlast evening after addressing meetings\nalong the Crow and leaves this morning for Trail and Rossland, speaking\nat the former place this afternoon and\nIn the latter this evening.\nBoth the Premier una Mr. Bowser\nattended a rally of the supporters of\nW. R. Maclean, thc Conservative candidate for Nelson, In tho campaign\ncommittc rooms.\nFred A. Starkey, campaign chairman, presided and In addition to tbe\npremier and attorney general, Mr.\n.Maclean also spoke.\nThc Premier opened by. expressing\ntbe pleasure it gave him to see so\nmany present, betokening their interest In tbe campaign now In progress.\nWhile he had met royal receptions at\nthe places visited since he left here\n-Monday morning, it gave him pleasure\nto bo back in Nelson to meet the Con\nservative workers., Nelson had come\nto be looked upon as the capital of the\ninterior and as such was deserving of\nevery consideration at the hands of\nihe government and this, ho could assure them, it would receive. He was\nconversant with the city's needs in\ntho way of roads and also in regard to\na bridge and these matters would have\nthe earnest attention of the admin-\nis (ration.\nFor All the People.\nThere was, he understood, a Socialist In the field in Nelson and in view\nof that fact he had a few words to\naddress to workingmen, whose interests had always been protected by his\ngovernment. His was not a government for the merchant, the forme\nthc capitalist. It was a government\nfor all the people. It must be remembered that in the development of tlie\ncountry capital as well as labor was\nnecessary. British Columbia was i\nrich and promising country, that required only development, but to secure\nthis development many problems had\nto be faced and overcome. The gov\nernment was doing its best to meet\nthese, hut day by day new conditions\narose, which had to be mot. To do\nthis lhe government was bending lis\nbest efforts. Of course, there were\nmany things the importance of which,\n\u25a0iccording to various people interested,\nthe government failed, to realize. The\ngovernment, however, he could assure\nthem, was doing its best. He need not\nremind them that there was a disposition to blame governments for\nthings which they could not help. In\nfact thero were some, who when they\narose with a bad liver In the mornim\nwere prepared to blame the government for it as well as for everything\nelse Which they did not consider right.\nIn regard to the Socialists lie might\npoint out that if It wero not for tlio\ncapital which had been la-ought into\nthe country they would not bo here.\nThis was about the only part of Canada In which the Socialists could regularly get money entlugh, to, put up\nfor election deposits.\nIt was (|uilo true Hint the government had not been able to adopt all\nthe legislation submitted to it. In\nmany cases private members Introduced so-called labor legislation which\nthe government, acting- In the Interests\nof the province as a whole, was forced\nlo reject. How, ho asked, for example,\ncould the fortnightly pay day be applied to the whole province. There\nwere many parts of the province\nwhore at the present time such a\nmeasure was utterly impracticable.\nHow, for example, could a fortnightly\npay day bo arranged for In Cariboo or\nther remote portions of tho province\nwhere there were no banking facilities\nml little, If any, ready money. The\n-ocinlisls represented only a small\ni action of the workers of the province. In Arlctorla and Vancouver,\n.'here the workers very largely predominated- the government was particularly strong as was shown by tho\nresult of past elections. This was\nproof beyond question that the workers appreciated the efforts of bis government in their behalf as well as in\nthat of the people of thc province as\na whole. They realized the justice of\nthe policy of the government of dealing fairly with all,\nAmong tho things his govern\nment had in view was tho appointment\nof a labor commission,' This w\nvote getting scheme, but Its result\nwould lie a distinct benefit to the people of the province as a whole, All\nwould have an opportunity to appear\nbefore this commission and to express their views.\nRecognizes Responsibility\nIn the last election bis government\nhad practically swept the province.\nOn that occasion Nelson had been one\nof the Constituencies which had returned a government supporter. The\ngreat strength of the Parly in the last\nlegislature had placed a great responsibility upon the members of tho government which they had fulfilled to\nthe best of their abilities. The prospects were that tbe result of the present elections would be equally decisive. If so he would assure them the\ngovernment would be doubly careful\ntbat the affairs of the province were\nconducted along right and proper\nlines. What the government had to\navoid was becoming afflicted with\nwhat was known In tho west as \"big\nhead.\" To avoid Ibis nnd lo con-lnet\nthe affairs of the province along sane,\nreasonable lines would bo bis policy\nso long as he was at thc head of\nthe government.\nIn Nelson the Conservatives had nominated Mr. Maclean whom he felt\nconfident would carry the party banner to victory on election day. Ho\nwould, however, like to see Harry\nWright come Into line and support the\nchoice of the convention, the mart.who\nwas carrying the Conservative banner\nIn tho election In Nelson. Ther# whb\nrule in the Conservative party.\nThe  choice   of candidates    tvas    left\nOut of Order Stomachs Feel Fine Five\nMinutes  After Taking  a   Little\nDiapepsin\nTho. question as to how long you are\ngoing to continue a sufferer from indigestion, Dyspepsia or out-of-order\nBtomach Is merely a matter of how\ni.ouii you begin  Inking some DlapepBin,\nir your Stomach Is laoklnu in digestive\npower, why not help tho stomach to do\nIts work, not with drastic druffs, lnit a\nro-lnforcemeat or digestive agents, such\nns are naturally at work In file stomach.\nPeople with weak stomachs should take\na Utile Diapepsin occasionally, -unl tin-re\nwill be no more Indigestion, no feeling\nIlka a lump of load In the stomach, no\nheartburn, Sour risings, Gfas on Stomach\nor Belching of undigested food Rood,\naches, Dizziness or Sick Stomach, ond.\nbesides, what you eat will not fermeni\nand poison your breath with nauBeou*\nodors.

Despite tho somewhat inclement day a large number oj*\nladles visited thc various establishments and a busy hum of conversation\ncould bo heard from the- various\ngroups as they discussed the numerous designs. Tho shapes seem to be\nperhaps a little more definite this season, straws being very much ln evidence. For the most part a coarse\nstraw Is being used, as It lends itself\nso admirably to the flower trimming\nwhich will be extensively used. 'Many\nsmall, dainty shapes are on display,\nbut the larger hats seem to hold their\nown. Taken all together tho displays\nare so beautiful in both color and design and the wealth of artificial flowers so extensive that it is no wonder\nIho choosing of a new hat Is such a\ndifficult matter to decide.\nAt Meagher's.\nA millinery opening means a busy\nday at Meagher's store, and Miss\ntfeatty and her assistants were kept\nbusy all the time showing the new\nseason's models to hundreds of women\nwho seem only too anxious to got rid\nof their winter hats and don tho extremely pretty creations which are' to\nbe worn this spring.\nBefore entering the store one gets a\nglimpse of the good things to come\nfrom the beautiful models, trimmings\nand veilings so artistically displayed\nin the show window, and despite it\nbeing a rather cold, dull and snowy\nday, one felt spring wns here indeed\non seeing the masses of brightly colored flowers and entrancing airy trimmings lavishly displayed in the show\nrooms.\nTo give an adequate and Impartial\ndescription of the many only too fascinating models displayed would bo\nimpossible In tho space at disposal.\nOne lingered long before a beautiful\ncreation by Alphonslne, only to be\nequally attracted hy a captivating one\nfrom Joseph.\nThis Is evidently to be a season of\nmilliners' creations, ns the amount of\nneedlework and draping used upon\nhats is very much more than it has\nbeen for several seasons. \"Plenty of\nflowers arranged In most attractive\nways are used, some crowns noticed\nbeing entirely covered with thorn; also\nflowers as an nndcrtrim decoration\naro onco moro featured. Hoses perhaps arc the favorites, but violets,\norchids, chrysanthemums and all sorts\nof other blossoms and foliage are seen\nin profusion. Ostrich and Paradise\nlook as If they wore again to he popular as a number of models trimmed\nwith  them nre shown.\nLaco and flowers, however, arc undoubtedly to he tho most popular\ntrimmings, the laco being generally\nused over a foundation of straw or\nsilk. Tulles and Mallnes are also\nmuch in evidence.\nThere' is no doubt that both large\nand Mii-ill hats will he In favor,,the\n(-\u25a0mailer ones for early spring nnd for\npractical service, while the largo will\nprobably predominate for summer and\ndress occasions. Coarse nacre straws\narc very popular; Peanft is also good\nand Tagal braid Is a great favorite.\nLace hats are expected to be a strong\nfeature for summer wear, Macrame,\nCluny, Venetian, C'hantllly and Vals.\nbeing used. Some of these have a willow plume for trimming, and tho effect\nis most charming.\nMany hats of the sailor order, with\nmedium crowns and slightly rolling\nbrims, are shown; also a particularly\nmannish stylo, with large round crown,\nwide hack and slightly rolling narrow\nsides.\nDutch bonnet effects are featured ln\na variety of styles, and there is a now\nTarn effect which looks very well.\nThero is a very pronounced use of\nbandeaux, short and broad, daintily\ncolored, ou pressed shapes with high\ncrowns. They arc appliqucd around\nthe crown and finished with a floral\nmount.\nTaking It as a whole, thc millinery\nshow this spring is distinctively feminine nnd charming, and ono is almost\nbewildered with its beauty and variety,\nand no one will be nblo to complain\nthat there are no shapes to suit their\nparticular fancy.   -\nHudson's   Bay   Display.\nTbo  Hudson's  Bay  store seemed to\nWant\nProof?\nThat's Right!\nA 10 days' trial of\nin place of coffee, will show any\ncoffee drinkar just how coffee\nhas been treating him.\nAfter the trial\nLook Back\nand compare the old condition\nof coffee aches and ills* with the\nreturn to health and comfort\nwhich came with the change to\nPostum.\nIt will then be plain why\n\"There's a Reason\"\nfor\nbo one of the great centres of attraction, if one can judge by the number\nof ladles who, all through the morning and afternoon, thronged the sumptuous millinery parlors.\nHats for all occasions arc tastefully\nand artistically displayed on a great\nnumber of tables. All requisites for\ntrimming and finishing this most Important article of ladies' wear is displayed In every fashionable style,\nshape and shade.\nThe services of a thoroughly competent milliner, Mrs. Carpenter, who, up\nlo three weeks ago occupied tlio position of head milliner and designer in\none of thc foremost establishments In\nthat line in Boston, was at tho command of all visitors. This lady, who\nhas just arrived from tho centre of\nfashions in the United States mid who\nhas a thorough knowledge of tho subject, was kept busy explaining the\nvery latest up-to-date styles, assisting\nin the selection and suggesting the designing and trimming of shapes.\nAmong the many models displayed\nwere thc new sailor derby and telescope hats and very many other designs from tho leading London and\nParis houses, making a scene of graceful shape and color for the allurement\nof the ladies who visited the parlors.\nFred  Irvine & Co.\nIt was most surprising to note the\ngreat success attending the opening of\nFred Irvine & Co., and to see so many\nof the most expensive pattern hats\nbeing sold so early In thc day, the\nshow room of tho millinery department\ncm the second floor being crowded\nwith ladies all day purchasing from\nthe most excellent stock of imported\npattern and trimmed hats.\nMiss Edith Schupp, the firm's now\nmilliner, who has just arrived from\nPortland to take charge of this department, showed many of the leading\nshapes and styles, and remarking that\nIn spite of the unusual early showing\nthe variety in thc new spring chap\neaux is little short of amazing and\nthat the largo, artistic shapes turned\nup at the sides will again bo favorites. They aro shown in all the fino\nstraws, bearing marked resemblance\nto the Grande Mademoiselle, Louis\nXIV. and Trianon hats of last season,\nThe ever popular bonnet-like toque\nWith the tiny rims and high pointed\ncrowns  will again score.\nHelmets, entirely made of tiny flowers, are a specialty at Carlier Salon,\nnnd the madatne predicts a brilliant\nfuture to both the small and tho Jarg*\nflowers; the former she employs In\nthe shape of stiff cockades, or arranged In dense wreath effect cither\nover the upper or under the edge of\nwide hat brims.\nThc derby for a ready-to-wear hat\nis to be most worn, and no doubt will\nbe a general favorite along with tho\nlarge sailor hat, which this year will\nbe good.\nMany hats in the new Nacre braid\neffects are good and are at the present time here to stay, as many combination.'* of shading, are brought together in m:iking the trimming unique.\nThe leghorn hat with black velvet\ntrimming is shown as one of the lending walking hats and the Georgette\ntaffeta silk hat in gunmetal shades\nwith single flower trim are to be worn\nfor early spring.\nThis season is not to bo a feather\nseason, and will only be used in un-\ndoeided quantities.*.' Wings, will, be\nseen in largo variety and numbers,\nbut whether they will go on finding\nfavor or not Is an open question,\nOsprey mouths and fancy ornaments\nform a large factor In the trimmings.\nIt is believed  that  this seasop will\nbe most successful and the later ideas\nfor   the  white- nnd -light   shades   for\nEasier opening are looked for.\nMiss   Hanlin.\nAt Miss Hanlin's parlors many\ntasteful designs were displayed and a\nthrong of ladies moved iu and out all\nthrough the day. Among the many\nnew shapes could bo seen the attractive Tain crown which seems to be so\nvery much in vogue this spring.\nBlocked shapes aro being used very\nextensively,\nOsprey still holds its own as a smart\ntrimming and flowers arc going to be\nused profusely. Severer lines are\nshown only in the modish sailor\nshapes and for tbo most part considerable trimming Is adopted. All flower bats will be used largely this sou-\nson, and shot silk will also be largely\nseen. Fringed silks will be used as\nan effective trimming, Smart attractive models from Gage's and Phlpps'\nwere on display.\nPUBLICITY FUNDS\nI COMING IN WELL\nOver   Eighteen   Hundred   Dollars   Secured Already From Portion of\nCity, Slys Report.\nFollowing Is the report of the publicity committee adopted at last night's\nmeeting of the board of trade:\n\"Thc canvass for funds has been\npartially completed and about $1,800\nbas been subscribed to date.
