It was in the air tbat Houston's daj' of '-* machine rule\"- was over, and the counting of the ballots only emphasized the almost universal belief, Since Nelson was incorporated seven years ago John Houston has been more or less a factor in the affairs ofthe city\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdsometimes, the controlling force, and always with enough influence through his paper or by some other method to shape affairs to pretty nearly suit himself\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto-day he is without, honor or power. His commands in future will fall on deaf -ears.' No oue will say. tbat he was always wrong, for*such is not the case ; but he was arrogant and domineeiing to a degree that was exasperating to everyone, excepting his meek aud servile slaves. But yesterday his word might have stood against the world, and now there is \" none so poor to him reverence.\" \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Sic^semper tyramiis. .. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The election itself may have beeu said to have been devoid of incident. . It seemed, to be a foregone conclusion that Mr. Hamilton would defeat. Mr. Irving, although no ' one believed that tbe majority would have been so large. In the east ward, the result was* what was anticipated. The ticket had been cauvas- singstrehuously for some days, and Mr. \"Cennie came into the field at the last hour, without hope of success. He did not have timelo make a personal canvass, and the largs vote he polled is all the more surprising. If he had'been-in the field-a day lenger, he would have been elected. In the west ward it was be- 1 ieved Mr. Annable stood a good chance for election, Mr. Clements having been awray from the city so many years. Mr. Annable did not think he would be elected, and feels'highiy flattered at the number of votes. vhe7polled. A It was the best run that^has J*feen made- in years against'.the \" solid three\" \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdfrbnrthat ward. Mr- Annable feels, that he would, have stood a better chance had he refused.the endorsement of-what is known'as \" the Progressive Peoples' Party.\" Dr. Arthur, headed'the list for school trustees, and was congratulated upon the speudidfight he made. -It is to tbe .credit of the victorious uiayor-and aldermen that they indulged in iio cheap boasting over the result. They and their\"friends felt that a good battle had been fought and won, and the occasion was one raiher for silent rejoicing than outward .demonstration. Generally speaking the. new council is thoroughly representativeof the progressive city of Nelson, and the majority is not likely to\/be in any way infl'u- \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-euced^by^partylboss^or-clique., _ io .r___A_Z \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd..__:_\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd, very unusual to act in such a matter without stating reasons. Commissioner Starkey thereupon stated his reason was because certain signers to the petition which had \"been before them the previous evening had spoken irreverently of Alderman Kirkpatrick, and it was time they had a lesson. Alderman Kirkpatrick magnanimously stated that he did not put his action on that ground, but he omitted to. make it clear what his reason was. This matter having been thus disposed of, the applications for new.licenses again came up. The city solicitor listened to Mr. Macdonald's argument in,regard to this, and advised the board that the matter was quite clear, and tbat as the law m had not been complied with, neither application could be granted. In the face of this, it was moved by Aid. Kirkpatrick and seconded by Commissioner Starkey that a license be granted to one ofthe applicants. Mayor Rose reluctantly put this motion, which of cou rse was carried. For a piece of solemn farce, it is hard to find the equal of this in history or fiction. The carrying of this motion could not override the law, and no license will be issued tinder it; but it seemed to give profound satisfaction to the two .gentlemen who thus stultified themselves. The new council elected on Thursday evening have since then busied themselves in rectifying the absurd and outrageous condition which had-arisen in con- s equence of the late board's action; so, no very serious complications are likely to result; but it is air object lesson to the citizens on the necessity of.having the best men placed iu: responsible offices in our municipal government.

The recent action of'two members, of the late board of license commissioners has rousedWiyersal indignation among the citizens. On Wednesday lasta.meet- ing of, the board was held, to consider twd applications for hotel licenses. A petition signed by a large number of business ..men was presented against the granting of either application.' The signers of the petition were called down by two \"members of the board in most vigorous language, who held that it was an .impertinence for any citizen lo petition the board in such a matter. Mr. fl. M. Macdonald, who vvas present for the purpose of opposing the applications, then addressed an argument to the board pointing out that as neither applicant had complied with the law in regard to the preliminary steps neces- ary to obtain a license, \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd the commissioners had no power to grant one even if they wished to do so. Mayor Ro.-e and Commissioner Starkey seemed to be convinced on this point, but,- on motion of Aid. Kirkpatrick the matter was stood over, till- the following evening at 6 o'clock, when the city solicitor was required to be present. On Thursday evening accordingly the'commissioners again sat, and commenced proceedings by refusing to renew the licenses for the Lakeview Hotel and the Office and Athabasca saloons. Mayor- Rose very plainly pointed out that such aetion taken without notice to the parties interested,\" and without any cause alleged, vvas most improper. The city solicitor was appealed to as to whether it was necessary to state reasons for such a step, and he advised that while the commissioners could not be compelled to state their reasons, it was The following curious, story comes from an Irish n ewspaper : *! In September, 1900, when the Mounted company of the 2nd Royal Irish rifles arrived at General Philip Botha's farm in the Doornberg, they found there a very fine bulldog, of which they promptly took charge. From that time until the end of the war the animal treked with the Rifles' Mounted company from Griqualand in the west to Basutoland in the east, and he still bears the scar of a wound \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd received in action. Later he.was with General French's column invCape Colony. For his service the bulldog now wears the Queen's South African medal with three clasps, and the King's South African medal with two clasps. A few days ago-the dog made his appearance in the Dublin police court, dressed in a coat with green facings, and wearing his medals, and was accomodated with a seat in the witness box, s. while a charge, against a canteen manager of ill-treating the animal was heard. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd It was stated that the \"defelTdKt^vars^s^^^ outside the canteen, and that when the stick broke he kicked the animal, in the throat. The canteen manager, however, declared that the bulldog attacked a small Irish terrier in the canteen, and in order to separate them he bad to use his stick. The dog, he asserted, had been twice sentenced to be shot for worrying other dogs. Mr. Drury, the magistrate, remarked that this was the most distinguished dog in the country, for it wore its medals. The defendant was fined a pound and'costs, and all. dog lovers will agree with the decision of the bench, for they well know that it is very rarely that a bulldog, will attack a smaller animal unless it has been provoked beyond canine endurance, and it would be indeed a pity if an animal with such a record were destroyed for taking its own part. Scanning the columns ofthe Mining Journal, of London, one better comprehends where so large a proportion of the wealth of the people comes from.* In its issue of December 19, 1903, that journal prints a list of thirty-eight mining companies announcing dividends. These range from 3d. (6 cents) a share up to 10s. ($2.50) a share. In some cases.the amount ofthe dividends are represented by percentage on the capital, running as high as 30 per cent. _ The list further shows that the properties ot,these companies are all over the . world, in Asia, Africa, the two Americas, Europe and Austriilia. They are all British companies, that is to say, nre operated under British incorporations, iu accordance, with British methods, and the stocks in them are mainly held by British people. Britions are not gamblers, not, at least, in the sense of rashly risking in any enterpeise their c-ipital. Their investments are chiefly from their incomes ; if the venture proves a losing one their capital remains unimpaired, continuing to provide them with au income. While we are not in a position to ofler bur congratulations to Mr. Annable on his recent candidature for municipal honors, it is with great pleasure that *we ca-i congratulate bim ou the very excellent productions he has been oft'erine; ui.for the past week at the Opera House. The Olympia Opera Co., which has held the boards here for the last six days, has been of unusual excellence, and lias well merited the large attendance at each performance. The cost of bringing a companv of this kird to Nelson has so far prevented organizations like the Olympia company coming here, but Manager Seamans undertook it, and it is sincerely hoped that his venture will not be a losing one. If the other towns in the Kootenaj's to be visited will turn out as well as Nelson has, it is quite likely tbat Miv SeamaiiB will be encouraged to pay us a return visit some time in October with the same company. To do justice to the company the name of everyone connected with it should be mentioned, for all contributed towards the general excellence of the productions. The chorus work could not be excelled,- showing careful drilling in the vocal work as well as what is termed the busi ness of the opera. Tbe principals are very painstaking in their efforts to make the most of their parts. Lottie Kendall has not only a sweet voice,'but also a very pleasing stage presence. Miss Kendall, if she at any time decided to leave the operatic stage, could go into dranhatic work with every assurance of success. John \"Young is an operatic comedian who makes people laugh, which is not a common, thing with operatic comedians. Mr. Major bas a magnificent voice, and his work during the week' has been repeatedly encored. Miss Jenkins sings well and acts well, and very' many pleasant things could be eaid of Miss Barker did space permit. Xeo Adde supplied a good deal of the fun in the various productions, and was well received. Mr. Seamans is an old timer on the operatic stage, and was greeted with much applause on his various appearances. Of the other members of the Olympia company many meritorius' things could be said, particularly of Mr. Haydn, Mr. Alexander, Mr. Mat- son, and Miss Seamans. Suffice it to say, the Olympia Opera company i\ufffd\ufffd the best musical organization ever eeeiif in tills part of the country. Manager - Seamans and his company can depend upon it tbat they will always receivea\ufffd\ufffd warm welcome in Nelson. The en-, gaccment concludes to-nigbt with \"The Pearl of Pekin.\" Bob Lennie had the greatest number of plumpers of any candidate who has- ever run for office Sn the city of Nelson.

One night this laird and his little troop were' compelled \"to sleep in the open, though.it was snowing, and snow lay deep upon the ground. Father and son kept together, and together- they prepared to turn in for the night. T>ie son, having wrapped hisvplaid about him, made himself a pillow of anow, and was about to lay his head on it when his father kicked the little cold white mound away. 'This is too soon, truly,' he growled, 'for you to indulge in luxuries.'\" A well-known theatrical manager, who ia distinguished rather for his business ability, than for his knowledge of literature, was visited not long ago by an hspiring playwright. He had with him, he explained to the manager, tha manuscript of a play based on one of Edgar Allen Poe's stories, which he was sure waa'destined to make a sensational hit on the stage. The manager consented to hear the play, and listened with increasing interest ns the playwright read from his . manuscript, lie was enthusiastic when the end wns reached. \"That's fine!'' he ex(.-!i\\i:i; J\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"line! Now, 111 tell you what I'll do: You and Mr. Poc come in to-morrow and we'll talk this thing over.\" Count Tolstoi does not bear a very kindly attitude toward the many curious admirers who besiege his Russian home in the hope of getting a glimpse of the great novelist. A party of visiting American tourists who called not long ago to pay their respects were not, therefore, \"very cordially received. Tolstoi refused to meet tlicra; but he reluctantly consented to stand on his doorstep .^rd let himself T>e seen. \"One of* the vfsitorB'-Iiow'-\/; ever,\" could not resist the temptation to- '\" jpeak to the great man. \"Oh\", Conirt-'.
