Tr.e wholesome words of advice that bis honest old father gave him\n\u25a0till ring in his ears, and the doughnuts,\nthe carawayseed cookies, the needles\nand thread and the variegated patches\nthat Ins thoughtful old mother gave him\nare still in his grip.

The wilds of nature seem\na paradise lo him, for the hills and tor-\nem are new pictures, and what poelic\nfancies he may have are not yet blunted\nnor wom out of him by hardships.

If he lives he is all\nright, for a tenderfoot that can eat his\nown cooking and survive, the trail to\nfortune is his.

Smiley Has Made\na Written Confession\nWAS HE IN ROSSLAND?\nThe Developments In the Curious\nChicago Poisoning Case of\nLocal Interest\nIt is confidently believed that\nFrank H. Smiley, who today made\na confession of his connection with\nlhe death of Marie Diefenbach, at\nChicago, was in Rossland for a\nperiod of three months this year.\nAs the dispatches yesterday shotved,\nths victim was one of the confederates, who, after securing heavy life\ninsurance in Canadian and other\ncompanies, feigned death, the inten-\ntention being to replace her supposedly lifeless body with another\ncorpse. She was to have shared in\nthe proceeds of the policy, but the\nplotters wanted it all. The means\nof death was effective instead of being a sham.\nRegistered at a Rossland hotel in\nthe early part of the year was a\nman by the name of F. H. Smiley.\nHe was here nearly three months\nand nobody knew his business,\nalthough it was generally believed\nhe was a detective, and it is known\nthat he possessed a doctor's certificate, although he has never practiced. The fact that his mail and\ngeneral correspondence was from\nChicago, today caused inquiry to be\nmade from the chief of police of\nthat city, but up to the hour of going to press no reply had been received,\nChicago, Oct. 9.\u2014Frank M.\nSmiley the detective of the Mooney\nand Boland agency, who was one\nof the men arrested yesterday in\nconnection with the death of Marie\nDefenbach, August 25, has made a\nfull written confession of his part in\ntihe crime. His confession,i f true,\nimplicates with him Dr. August\nUnger and Frank Wayland Brown,\nassistant manager of the Mooney\nand Boland agency, the other two\nmen under arrest.\nWhen the case goes on trial,\nSmiley, it is announced, will turn\nstates evidence. States attorney\nDeneen expects that all three men\ndill be convicted of conspiracy to\ndefraud the New Vork Lif* Insurance company, and the two benevolent orders, the Canadian order of\nForesters and the Knights and Ladies of Security, but it is very\ndoubtful whether any charge of\nmurder can even formally be made\non the evidence available.\nAt least one other man connect-\nnected with the Mooney and Boland\nagency is now under surveillance\nfor suspicious actions at the time of\nMiss Defenback's death. It is not\nimprobable that several other conspirators may be connected with\nthe crime,\nOverlapped\nthe Lines\nA Serous Blunder in\nStrnging Dawson\nWires.\nVictoria, Oct. 9.\u2014Passengers arriving by the Tees state that,\nthrough mistaking directions, two\nparties working on the government\ntelegraph line to Dawson have over-\n'apped, the distance which was\npassed between the two ends of\nthe line being over a hundred miles.\nIt is feared this will prevent completion of the line this year.\nDawson oflieials estimate that the\nrecent order of the government will\nthrow 8000 claims open for location\nin the Klondike,\nAn Indian woman, whose husband\nwas tried at Vancouver and acquitted on the charge of murdering a\nboy in the Cassiar. district, committed suicide by hanging herself on\ntbe steamer Amur on the way north.\nHiram Brown, furniture dealer,\nof Grand Forks; the Cariboo Lumber Co., carrying on business at\nClinton; John Tobin & Co., Ltd.,\ntea merchant, of Vancouver and\nHalifax; and S.

The plaintiff also claims\njudgment for the amount paid for\nthe shares, $2200, and that the\nshares may be cancelled, and the\nregister of members rectified.

Nothing tangible\nis given but enough is said to show\nthat Premier Dunsmuir is about to\neuter upon a new and progressive\nstsgo in his administration. A new\npolicy in which there will be no room\nfor partisanism is to be launched,\npresumably at the next session at\nVictoria.\nIn its editorial upon the subject the\nColonists says;\n\"Under the circumstances above net\nout, wo Submit thnt it ie lime to consider\nhow aline of action can lie matured\nwhich will give lull effect to what has\nheen so anspieiously inaugurated. .Vr.\nDiinsinuir'a work as a public man 1ms\nonly began.
