Harlow on the evening of Monday, the 10th inst, when Mr. Eli Moorehouse, Chartered Accountant of Vernon, and Miss Minnie Pauline Wolfe, of Penticton, were "united in marriage by Rev. R. W. Hibbert M. A., of the Methodist Church, Penticton. Both bride and groom are practically newcomers to the valley. Mr. Moorehouse a few months ago opened an office in Vernon as chartered accountant and auditor, and has worked up a flourishing business in that city and the surrounding district. The happy couple left by Tuesday morning's boat for their future home accompanied by the best wishes of their friends, with whom the Press joins in extending congratulations. The Executive Committee of the Okanagan Sunday School Association is hard at work making preparation for the annual convention which is to be held in Kelowna on the 9th and 10th of April next. Blank forms for reports have been distributed to all the schools. It is to be hoped that Superintendents will answer the questions carefully and return them at once to the Secretary. Prompt action will materially help the committee. The committee in charge of the program has made a preliminary draft, and is in correspondence with schools for the purpose of securing suitable speakers. The committee is offering a prize for the best map of Palestine by any scholar under 18 years of age. Rev. Stuart Muirhead, the General Secretary for the province, is to visit the valley this week. He will hold Sunday School Institutes as follows: at Enderby on Thursday the 13th inst.; at Peachland, Friday and Saturday; at Penticton, Monday and Tuesday; and at Summerland on Wednesday. Mr. Muirhead will attend the convention in April. Comp Weather Report iled by the Dominion Government Meterological Ob server at Penticton, for January, 1908: Date Max. Temp, Min.

Public Meeting. The public meeting called on I Wednesday evening to discuss the cannery question was very | well attended. The S. O. Fruit | Growers' Exchange had found it impossible to conduct the cannery another season without more capital, it being estimated that at least $4,000 would be required, and the meeting had been called to ascertain whether or not that sum could be raised. After considerable discussion, a motion was put to ascertain whether the members of the Exchange were willing to take additional shares. The result proved negative. A motion to dispose of the cannery was then passed unanimously. E. W. Mutch, the Secretary, then gave a report of the annual meeting of the Fruit and Produce Exchange which was held at Revelstoke. Eleven Exchanges were represented. Five had done business through the provincial organization last year, and the results had proved entirely satisfactory. The S. O. Fruit Growers' Exchange has united and will dispose of their produce through the central organization next year. Mr. Ede recommended the planting of the Stone and Earli- ana tomatoes. The attendance at the Literary and Debating Society is still increasing, there being nearly one hundred present at the last session. The program, under the charge of the Literary department, was devoted to England, Scotland and Ireland. J. Barker, B. A. read an admirable paper on England, and Rev. J. A. Clc- land one equally as good on Ireland. Both papers dealt chiefly with the history of the countries and were listened to with the most marked attention. W. A. McKenzie recited, with splendid effect, an article by a war correspondent, descriptive of the part taken by the Highlanders in the Battle of Magersfontein in South Africa. Mrs. Thompson gave, with good effect, a recitation in the Scotch dialect, and English, Scotch and Irish songs were sung by Mr. Miller, Mrs. Stewart, and Miss Mutch. There will be a debate next Thursday evening on the subject, "Resolved that Orientals should be excluded from Canada." The affirmative will be taken by Messrs. Winkler, McKenzie, and Main, and the negative by Messrs. McLean, Clement, and Harris. HISTORICAL CORNER. The Last Days of Louis XVI. of France. A Social Dance. A very pleasant party and dance was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Evarts on Friday evening. Feb. 7th, when a goodly number of friends and neighbors gathered to enjoy a social time and "chase the glowing hours with flying feet." The older and more sedate members of the party indulged in a quiet game of whist at tables arranged for the purpose, while floor manager W. A. McKenzie called off the dances for the younger folks up-stairs in his usual capable manner. He was assisted occasionally by Mr. Paul Brodhagen from the Golden Zone mine in Hedley Camp. About 12:30 a lunch consisting of sandwiches, cake and coffee, was served, after which in recognition of the fact that 1908 is leap year, the ladies were allowed to choose their partners for the dances. Mr. F. Weeks furnished the music. Among those present were noticed Mr. and Mrs. Lister, Mr. and Mrs. Huycke, Mr. and Mrs. Dignan, Mr. and Mrs. Lee, Mr. and Mrs. Weir. Mr. and Mrs. Partridge, Mr. and Mrs. Blance, Mr. and Mrs. Murk, Mr. and Mrs. Pickering, Mr. and Mrs. Gough, Mr. and Mrs. McGee, Mrs. Livcsley, Mrs. Brown, Misses Denniston and Thompson, and Messrs. Harris, Gibbons, Thomas, Munro, Winkler, Bassett, Alcock, Denniston, Starratt and Macdonald. The party broke up about 3 a. m. Geo. E. Winkler last month sold five thousand dollars' worth of Westbank property. A party comprising Mr. and Mrs. A. Town, Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Hoover, and Miss N. Sutton, of Winnipeg, who have been spending the winter months at Peachland where Mr. Town owns property, spent Monday evening and Tuesday forenoon in Penticton. Unfortunately a snowstorm prevented them from seeing any of the surrounding country, and they expressed regret that they could not remain until the next day, as they were very favorably impressed with the town and location. its Subscription $1.00 Year. Louis XVI. was definitely con- ; demned to death; the final moment could not be postponed and ] every available means for put- j ting off the fatal day had been | exhausted. All the members of the right, secret royalists as well as republicans, were amazed both by the cruel sentence and by the ascendancy the "Mountain" (the revolutionary party in the convention) had just acquired. In Paris a profound stupor prevailed and the audacity of the new government had produced the ordinary effect of force over the masses; it had paralyzed and reduced to silence the greater part of the people and excited the indignation of a few. There were a few old servants of the king, some young noblemen and a few life guards, who, it was said, intended to rush to the help of the monarch and rescue him. But to see each other, to confer together and to act in concert in the midst of the profound terror of some, and the active watchfulness of others, was impracticable; and all that it was possible to do was to attempt isolated, and, consequently futile, acts of despair. The Jacobins, (a revolutionary club,) delighted and yet astonished at their triumph, determined to stand close together during the last twenty-four hours and mutually help each other so as to secure the execution of the sentence. They kept on telling each other that the execution would take place, that this was irrevocable; but seeing that they kept on repeating it, they evidently did not believe their own words. To carry out this sentence in a country, which, three years before, was to all intents and purposes an absolute monarchy, appeared still doubtful, and could only believed after the event had actually taken place. The Executive Council was charged with the painful duty of seeing that the sentence was carried out. All the ministers were assembled in the council chamber in a state of the greatest consternation. As Minister of Justice, Garat had the most painful duty to perform, that of informing the king of the decrees of the convention. He went to the Temple (prison) accompanied by Santerre, by a deputrtion of the commune and the criminal court, and by the secretary of the Executive Council. Louis had been waiting for four days to see his counsel and had asked in vain to see them. On the 20th of January, at 2 o'clock p. m., h i was still waiting when he suddenly heard a noise of a numerous procession. He went forward and perceived the deputation of the Executive Council. With dignified bearing he stopped on the threshold of his room but did not betray any emotion. Garat then sadly told him that he had been charged to communicate to him the decrees of the convention, and Grouvelle read them. The first declared Louis XVI. guilty of a crime against , the safety of the state; the se^ ! ond condemned him to death; ! the third refused any appeal to ! the people, and lastly the fourth ordered his execution within twenty-four hours. Louis, quietly looking round on those assembled, took the sentence from Grouvelle's hands and put it in his pocket; then read to Garat a letter in which he asked the convention first for a three days' respite to prepare himself for death, secondly for a priest to whom he could confess, and (Continue'! on page 4.)

ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION. Elections in June. The Vancouver Saturday Sunset predicts that the Dominion elections will take place in June. That journal in fact professes to be in possession of information hitherto not made known to the public. Upon what the Sunset bases its conclusions we are not informed, nor are we aware as to what relation exists between its editor and the government or government officials. However, June would doubtless be an opportune season to make an appeal to the electorate; the spring's work would be over and the harvest not yet begun. It would be an excellent time for campaigning, and the government would be more likely to receive a favorable verdict if the elections were brought on directly after the present session than if the term were prolonged. Campaign literature is already being circulated and indications point to an early dissolution, POMONA (We three.) (In John's house-Tom not present.) "Larry,"said John, "we have with us to-night an old friend of my father. Like yourself he has travelled and noted men and things quite a bit. Mr. Lawrence-Mr. Holt." "Call me Mose,'' said the newcomer. ' 'And me Larry," replied the other. "Shake." John resumed : ' 'We have as yet hardly touched the question of Asiatic immigration, our visitor lives so much in the past that a new controversy may have little interest for him yet his views will help us." "What is this new question ?" asked the old man. ' 'The admission to this province of all well behaved and useful people say some," John explained, "others retort that it is to flood the country with foreigners who work for starvation wages." "I think you were chaffing when you called this new," said Mose. "Conditions prevailing in 1845-50 were much of a kin with what you tell me now. About that date American cities, notably New York, were worked up over what was called ' The swamping of native American labor by cheaper workers who spoke English with a touch of Irish brogue.' The catch-words then were 'America for the Americans' 'No Irish need apply' and the like. "The 'Know nothing' movement had its violent and shortlived course. A band of rabid hoodlums would collar a man in working garb and order him to say 'Beans.' If he said 'Banes,' as Paddy naturally would, down he went in the mud by the force of native American muscle. The boys who did that were only sixty years in advance of those who raided the Japanese quarter in Vancouver. "In earlier times still, on the Upper Ottawa we had race troubles and labor disputes." The French-Canadians were mobbed as undesirables by English-speaking shanty-men and raftsmen, because they gave cheaper service than some others. But the French workers were too numerous to be chased from a lawful occupation. After a pitched battle or two, in which some "So it will be here," said John, "and before long. This is a white man's country. The province is so large, has so many varied resources, so many large industries, so much room for many larger still that no race or class jealousies can hold back the great wealth producing enterprises, now in vigorous youth. The white men of this country are in a position to employ all reliable and efficient workers who come here ; ready to accept faithful service from any who are able and willing to give such service ; ready to pay them all they can earn, and make loyal citizens of them." "No doubt of it," said Larry, "in good time. But the world is not quite ready for the Millenium. There is a disease in men's blood, which of old set the strong savage to club the weak one and eat him. Later on he found it more profitable to make a slave of the conquered one. Methods changed but the spirit remained. Great military forces were organized for robbery and murder. Even the free cities of the middle ages, though standing for liberty and order, were close corporations excluding from citizenship all who had not conformed to the conditions of membership as freeman of the guild. "Neither was the Church free from taint. Though she kept dimly burmng the light of the knowledge of a higher life in the teachings of the Divine Man, pride, sloth, greed, too often invaded the cathedral and the cloister. "The tide of progress has ebbed and flowed, yet the movement is ever onward. The individual man is valued for his usefulness rather than for his power to destroy, although many still reverence their oppressors and benefactors. "A country peopled as this is cannot be permanently held up or kept down by tyranny on the part of classes, parties or money kings. 'The mob that wars for liberty Faster binds the tyrant's power, And the tyrant's cruel glee Forces on the freer hour.' " "Goodnight." "Goodnight."

Possibly I had taken no step ince I had been upon the moor which ad not been observed and repeated. Vlways there was this feeling of an .inseen force, a fine net drawn round us with Infinite skill and delicacy, holding us so lightly lhat It was only at some supreme moment that, one real'zed that r,iu> was Indeed entangled in its meshes. If there war, one report there might be others, so 1 looked round the hut In search of them. There was no tjaen, however, of anything of the kind, nor eo:ild I discover any sign which might indicate the character or Intentions of the man who lived In this singular place, save that he must be of Spartan bablfs, and cared little for the "omfor's of life. When I thought of the heavy rains and looked at the ga- 'ling roof I understood bow strong and immutable must be the purpese which had kenl him In that inhospitable abode. Was he our malignant enemy, or was he by chance our guardian angel? I swore tint I would not leave the hut until I knew. Outside the sun was sinking low and the west was blazing with scarlet and gold. Its rejection was shot hack In ruddy patches r-y the distant pools which lay amid the great Grlmpen Mire. There were the two towers of Baskerville Hall, and there a distant blur of smoke w'ieh marked the vllï¿½ï¿½ lage of Grlmpen. Between |Iih two, behind the hill, was the house of the Stapletons.

I stooped under the rude lintel, and there he sat upon a stone outside, his, grey eyes dancing with amusement as they fell upon my astonished features. He was thin and worn, but. clear and ilert, his keen face bronzed by the sun ind rojghene, by the wind. In his tweed suit nnd cloth cap he looked like any other tourist upon the moor, and he had contrived, with that cat- ilke love of personal cleanliness which vas one of Ms characteristics, that bis hln should be as smooth and his 'inen as perfact as |f lie were In Haket ll.re.it.

Ho you actually though) lhat I was Ihe criminal?" "1 did not know who you were, but 1 was determined to find cut." "Excellent, W.v-nn! And how did you localize me?

"And,have no doubt searched all the bats until you came to this one?" "No, your boy had been observed, nnd that gave me a guide where to look." "The old gentleman with the leles- cope, no doubt. I could not make It out when fust I saw the light flashing upon ihe lens." He rose and peeped Info the hut. "H.->. I =ee that Cart- wright has brought up some supplies. What's this papei ? So you have been to Coombe Traeey, have you?" "Yes." "To see Mrs. I.aura Lyons?' "Exactly." "Well done! Our researches have evidently been running on parallel line3, and when wa unite o.;r results I expect we shall have a fairly full knowledge of the cans," "Well, 1 am glad from my heart that you are here, for indeed the responsibility and the mystery we.re both he- coming too much for my nerves. But how in the nam: of wender did you come here, and w at have you been doing? I thought th; t you were in Baker Street working o.;t that case of blackmailing." "That was what 1 wished you to think." "Then ynn p.ge me, and yet do not trust met" I erit.1, with some bitterness. "I think tl.at I have deserved belter at your hr .ids, Holmes." "My dear fello , you have been invaluable to me in .his as in. many other cases, and 1 beg lhat; yai| will forgive PIP if I have seened to play a <*'0"li upon you, In truth, it wa" partly for yoiu: own sake Hï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½t 7 did it, and It was UTS' ""T-'cciatlon of the danger which you ran which led me to come down and examine the matter for myself. Had I been with Sir Henry and you it fa confident that my point of vtow would have been the same as yours, and my presence would have warned our very formidable opponents to be on their guard. As |t Is, I have been able, tn jfï¿½ï¿½i about as I cnuld not possibly have done had I been living in the Hall, and I remain an unknown factor in tfle business, ready to throw in all my weight at a critical moment. "But why keep me In the dark?" "For you to know could not have helped us, and might possibly have led to my discovery. You would have Wished to tell me something, or in your kindness you would have brought me out some comfort or other, and so aa unnecessary risk would be run. I brought Cwtwright down with me- you remember the little chap at the Express Officeï¿½ï¿½ï¿½and be has seen after my simple wants; a loaf of bread and a clean collar. What does man want j more? He has glren me an extra pair I of eyes upon a very active pair of feet, i and both have been Invaluable." " I lion my reports have all been ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ wasted!"ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½My voice trembled as I re- . called the pains .and the pride with 1 which I had composed them. Holmes took a bundle of papers from his pocket. "Here are your rpports, my dear fellow, and very well thumbed, I assure you. I tnada excellent arrangements, and they are only delayed one day upon their way. I must compliment you exceedingly upon ihe zeal and the Intelligence which you have shown over a:i extraordinary difficult case," I w.'S still rather rttw over the de (option which had been practised upon me, bill ihe warmth of Holmes's praise drove my anger from my mind. I felt also in my heart that he was right la what he said and that it was really best for oiir purpose that I should not lave known that he was upon the moor. "Thai's belter," said he, seeing the shadow rise from my face, "And now t"Il me the result of your visit to Mrs. Nui.ni Lyonsï¿½ï¿½ï¿½li was not difficult for me to guess that it was to see her that you had gone, for I am already liware that she is the o"e person In Cooinbe Traeey who might be of service tï¿½ï¿½ us In the matter. In fact, if you had not gone to-day It is exceedingly probable that I should have gone to-morrow." The sun had set and dusk was settling over the nicer. The ?ir had turned rh|ll and we withdrew Into the hut for warmth. There, sitting together In the twilight, I told Holmes of my con versation with the lady. So Interested was he that I had to repeat some of it twice before he was satisfied. "This is most important,'1 said he, When I had concluded. "It fills up a gap which I had been unable to bridge, In this most con plex affair.

"But why this elaborate deception?" "Because he foresaw that she would be very much more useful to him in the character of a free woman." All my unspoken instincts, my vague suspicions, suddenly took shape and centred upon the naturalist In that impassive, colorless man, with his straw hat and his butterfly-net, 1 seemed to see something terrible -a creature of infinite patience and craft, with a smiling face and a murderous heart.

Garat took the letter, promising to hand it to Hie convention. At the same time the king gave him the address of the clergyman whom he wished to attend him in his last moments. He went to his room quite composed, asked for dinner and ale as usual. They had taken away the knives and refused to give them to him. "Do they consider me so cowardly," said ho with dignity, "as to make an attempt on my life? I am inno- ccttt and shall know how to die without fear." He was, how- evor, obliged to do without a knife, and when he had finished his meal he returned t<> his a- partment and awaited Hie reply I ' his letter. The convention refused any delay in the sentence, hut granted all the other requests. Carat sent for Mr. Edgeworth, the priest of whom Louis had made choice, and drove him to the Temple prison himself. No sooner was Mr. Edgeworth in tho king's presence than he fell on his knees before him, but Louis bade him rise and both then shed tears of emotion. The king then asked him about the clergy of France and especially the Archbishop of Paris, begging him to inform the latter that he died attached to the Catholic faith. When 8 o'clock struck he got up, requesting the priest to wait, and went to see his family. The guards, not wishing to lose sight of the king, even whilst visiting bis family, had decided that he should see them in the dining- room which was closed by a glass door through which they could see all his movements without hearing bis words When the king entered he had water placed on the table to assist the princesses in case they should need it. He walked about with some anxiety, waiting for that painful moment when those who were so dear to him should appear. At. 8:30 p. m. tho door opened and the queen, holding the Dauphin by the hand, with the king's sister Elizabeth, and his daughter, appeared, and with sobs rushed into the king's arms. The door was closed and the guards with Cleryand Edgeworth placed themselves before the glass door to be witnesses of this heartrending interview. At .length sobs and tears ceased and the conversation became general. After a time the king arose to depart, promising to see them next morning at 8 o'clocic. As he was going out his eldest daughter fainted; they immediately carried her away and Louis returned to Mr. Edgeworth quite overcome with this cruel scene. The king went to bed about midnight telling Gory (bis servant) to waken him before 5 o'clock. Mr. Edgeworth lay down on a bed in the room, and Clery kept faithful watch by his master's bedside. The next day was the 21st of January and the Temple clock had struck five. The king awoke, called Clery and asked him the the time, then calmly dressed himself. He congratulated himself on having recovered his strength. Clery lit a fire and took a chest of drawers with which he made an altar. Mr. Edgeworth put on his priestly robes and began to celebrate the mass. Clery waited on him, and Ihe king, on his knees, heard it with the greatest devotion. He then received the communion from the hands of Mr. Edge- worth and calmly awaited the 1 ime Vvh.cn he was to go to the sc iff old. He asked for a pair of scissors to cut off his hair himself so as to avoid the humiliating operation at the hands of the executioner, but the commune, mistrusting him, refused his rc- (|iie >t.

Enquire of the MANAGING DIRECTORS. of the armed batallions joined their company with complete submission, whilst others who were not obliged to take part in the scenes of this terrible day hid themselves. Doors and windows were closed and everybody awaited at home the end of this sad event. At 8 o'clock in the morning Santerre (the governor of the prison) with a deputation of the commune and of the criminal court, went to the Temple. On hearing the noise outside, the king arose and prepared to start. He did not wish to see his family again so as not to renew the sad scene of the evening before. He charged Clery to say to ouy farewell for him to his wife, his sister, and his children, and at the same time handed him a seal, some locks of his hair, and various jewels to give to them. He then shook hands with his servant Clery and thanked him for his services. Then he asked one of the municipal guards if he would transmit his will to the commune. This man, named James Roux, had been a priest and brutally answered the king that his business was to take him to the scaffold and not to run his errands. Some one else then undertook the task, and Louis, turni.-.g to the procession, confidently gave the order to start out, Police officers (gendarmes) were seated in front of the vehicle and Mr. Edgeworth and tie king behind. On the way the king read the prayers for the dying from Mr. Edgeworth's breviary and the two gendarmes were moved by his piety and quiet resignation. The policemen said they had orders to strike the king if any attempt at rescue were made. However, no hostile demonstration took place on the way. An armed multitude formed a hedge on each side and the vehicle slowly advanced a- mid universal silence. In the Revolution Square a large, open space had been left around the scaffold. Cannon surrounded this space and the most fanatical and bitterly hostile troops were placed around the scaffold. The vile populace, always ready to outrage genius, virtue, or misfortune at a given signal, crowded behind the rows of confederate troops and were the only ones who gave any exterior signs of satisfaction. At ten minutes past ten the conveyance stopped and Louis quickly alighted on the square. j Three executioners presented I themselves, but he repelled them !and undressed himself. When he saw they wished to tie his hands he betrayed a movement of indignation and was about to defend himself. But Mr. Edge- worth, whose words were then sublime, cast on him a last look saying as he did so: "Permit this outrage as the last resemblance to the sufferings of Christ who is going to be your reward." At these words the victim submitted to be bound and was led to the scaffold. Suddenly Louis took a step aside from his executioners and advanced to speak to the people. "Frenchmen," said he in a strong voice, ' T am dying innocent of the crimes imputed to me; I pardon the instigators of my death and all I ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ask is that my blood may not fall on Frï¿½ï¿½,n<.e" He was about to continue but the order was given to beat the drums and .the noise drowned his voice. The executioners seized him and, as they did so, Mr. Edgeworth said to him these words: "Son of St. Louis, (Louis IX.) rise to heaven." The soldiers and populace rushed up and dipped their lances and handkerchiefs in the flowing blood, and excited crowds ran through the streets of Paris shouting, "Long live the Republic! Long live the Nation!" ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ x rom the French of Thiers. OKANAGAN f ALLS A house has been erected on the estate of the Southern Okanagan Land Co.
