This will be a busy week in politics. The time is getting short, vnd issues of great moment have to be settled. On the decision of the electors depends, in a great \"measure, the future of British Columbia. This is a critical point in the history of the province, and upon the people themselves depends the issue. If we -re to have progress and prosperity we must have in office a government with energy and enterprise-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDmen who have confidence in the country and who enjoy the confidence of the people. A retrogressive step at this particular juncture would be ruinous. British Columbia has entered an era of pros peri ty which has been wisely fostered' and encouraged by chose responsible for her government. The programme, as drafted, is a most commendable one, and should anything occur to prevent the carrying into effect of.the various measures in hand, designed to advance the interests of our fair province, it will be most unfortunate. This is so palpably the case that it cannot be gainsaid. The question, then, to be decided resolves itself into this\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwhich of the parties now contending for supremacy is the better calculated to accomplish the object which every man in the province ought to have at heart\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe best interests of the country ? The Turner government has proved itself a progressive government\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD has demonstrated its faith in British Columbia by taking time by the forelock, so to speak, and preparing well in advance for a big influx of population. The methods adopted are attacked by the Opposition, but the fact remains that the results aimed at have been attained. The country has made phenomenal progress. No sooner were the prospects of a particular district made apparent than roads, trails, bridges, railways, etc., were provided to ensure its speedy development. The -wisdom of this course has been fully dehion- ? strated. Now, had the Opposition \"party been in power, an opposite polic3r would have been pursued, and instead of having the' house in order to receive our welcome euests it would have to be built after their arrival. It is not good policy to lose a sheep for a pennyworth of tar. Roads, trails, railwa3\s, bridges, etc., help the settling up of a country, and it is an altogether mistaken idea that the country should first open itself up and when it could afford; to pay for public works such as these outlined, and not until then, should it enjoy the luxury of such possessions. These are not luxuries \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD they are necessaries. The Turner government have realized this, and have facilitated progress by undertaking such works before the revenue to be derived from them was absolutely in hands. .The economy preached by the Opposition is a false economy and were it put in :o practice British Columbia today would only be known geographically not commercially. Those who are enjo3dng the benefits, of: the progressive policy of the Turner government are not likely to cast off the party or the policy to which they owe this enjoyment. . .\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD . . Mr. A. S. Farwell, says the Nation, will make one of the most \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDintelligent representatives in the next House. Mr. Hume, though a very respectable man, was never intended to shine in parliament. The British Columbia Review, in extradict- ing a statement which has been going the rounds of the press to the effect that Governor Macintosh had invested, on behalf of the British American Corporation, $250,000 in Klondyke claims, says : We need hardly assure the shareholders in the British American Corporation that this rumor is probably entirely without foundation, but it shows the estimation in which Mr. Mackintosh is held that it should be thought possible th-it he would part with $50,000 in cash belonging to the Company which he represents for Klondyke claims which may have been jumped at the time the supposed payment was made. Verily this big English Corporation is regarded in the Province as a milch-cow sent by Providence to supply the astute Yankee mining man with cash !\" \"means'of a new7 muffler furnace, claims that in a minimum space of time .he is able to obtain the desired chemical change, which consists of \"oxidation\" rather than '.'reduction.\" ' The gold is separated in the. free or metallic state, silver in the. form either of a sulphide or chloride, copper in a sulphate, and zinc and arsenic in a soluble form. The operations of the Beam process are, firstly, pulverising of dry crushing ; secondly, .converting the sulphides to sulphates in an air-tight muffled furnace with converting chemicals. The advantages claimed are low. heat and economical chemicals, with greater accuracy in the results, and a considerable saving of time in comparison with the often complex chemical conditions encountered by'the older methods. The process is said to he adaptable to nearl3- all classes of ores. The cost of fuel is reduced to one-fourth, and the gold, it is claimed, is more completed' separated. Should this method prove of practical utility, it will revolutionize the mining industry- in the vicinity of Rossland. - Ymir also would greatly benefit, for since the cost of a furnace is less than that of a good stamp.mill, if would seem that the work done under the process' is more effectual, besides the bulk of the so-called free-mill- in e ore contains gold also in combination, especially when depth is.reached. The patentee claims that his invention will recover gold whether free or combined, so if the character of the ore should change with depth- it will, unlike a stamp mill, continue to serve its purpose. The cost of a 50-ton plant, containing crushers, pulverizers, amalgamators and furnaces is estimated at $20,000, and with these ore can be treated at $2.00 per ton. The Kuskonook Searchlight says: ''If Nelson could find a better man to represent it \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa man who understands more thorough^' from a miner's standpoint the needs of a min- ino- district\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthan A. S. Farwell, who is run- ning as an Independent, his name has not yet been mentioned.\" The particulars of another new process for j the cheap reduction of ores reaches us this j week. It is called the Beam process, after its j inventor, A. M. Beam. The patentee, by i A lady friend writes suggesting that we should devote a little space every week to fashions, adding that the subject is more interesting to the gentler sex than war news or politics. We gi/e woman a whole kingdom every week (see page 8), but should the prevailing fashions be of interest, we shall endeavor to keep our e3'e on them. This is a department, in which we confess we are somewhat weak. We notice from the fashion journals, however, that the newest arrangement of the bala3'euse is to gather it at the foot as well ^ij^^)^M,PMUa)iajJM,J\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD!lLI^,WJJJiyiU^llW^Lail,.l^lltlLM?.lLJ\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDMtUg3gg itufflWBiBmaaM^^ THE NELSON ECONOMIST. as at the head, thus converting it into a deep puff. On the same authority it may be stated that skirts are trimmed with little ruffles and ruches, with shirred ribbons, with insertion and openwork galloon and with U.ce and applications. All these trimmings require to be very neatly arranged in order to look well. We hope these brief,-but carefully selected pointers will be acceptable to our lady friend, whose handwriting we much admire. Our con tern poraryr, the Tribune, devotes considerable space in its last issue to local politics. The previous week all its energies were devoted to the contest in a neighboring riding, as if there was no contest in our own snug little burg. It is pleasant to notice that the Tribune is at last awakening to the fact that the people of Nelson are more closely interested in matters affecting themselves than in Issues not particularly local. It would, however, have been more satisfactory if our neighbor did not beat about the bush so much, and if it confined itself to facts, not fancies, to logic rather than loquacity^. It will be generally conceded as a bad break on the part of the Tribune to champion the cause of Joe Martin, who has been politically kicked out of every constituency unfortunate enough to be troubled with him, and out of every party with Which he had identified himself. The only reason which can be assigned for this extraordinary action on the part of the Tribune is. that Joe Martin or Martin Joe has been imported as a leader of the Opposition, and of course it would not do to go against \"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe party-\" and the part}' leader. Joseph's introduction into politics in this province must be as agreeable a surprise to him as was his introduction to the superiutendentof the Northern Pacific Railway Co. at Winnipeg bright and early one morning some years ago. Mr. Martin will remember the circumstances; if not, some of his friends ought to remind him. The Tribune very sagely remarks: \" In everyday life, when the manager of any business concern shows his incompetence, he is brought to account by the people whose business he is managing;\" and adds :\" Why should the electors of British Columbia be asked to adopt a different rule in political matters from that which is observed in everyday business ? \" The electors of British C< 1- umbia are not asked to apply any other bit the most approved business principles to politics. Premier Turner and his government are going before the people on the fair and square business proposition, \"Endorse our policy if you believe it to be the correct one,\" and they are fortunately in the position of being able to show practical proof that the country has made wonderful progress under their management. As a proof of mismanagement our neighbor points to the fact that 'l The public accounts show that during 1897 the revenue from West Kootenay alone was $310,902.\" An argument so forcible as this we cannot refute. quibbling in regard to the miners' tax. It tries to argue that coal miners \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD should be I charged alike with those engaged in metalliferous mines. And there is something in the contention. This tax was not imposed by the Turner government, and when the government was about to remove it a great deal of opposition was raised, as the Premier explains, 41 on the ground that the majority, of miners in the new districts, many of whom are prospectors and claim-owners as well, are not British subjects, and while earning a livelihood and enjoying all the advantages of citizenship, would contribute practically' nothing to the revenue of the country.\" We all know that this is so. Our American cousins swarmed into this province as soon as its mineral wealth became known. They prospected the country and staked out some of the best claims recorded ; they hold valuable property here and operate it, and except for the $5 miner's fee they would be contributing practically nothing to the revenue of the countryr.e And they do not object to the tax. There is not one man in ten employed around a metalliferous mine who does not do some prospecting or who does not hope to strike it rich some day. It is different with men engaged \"in coal mining. They simply work for wages. However, the government are pledged to alter the lawr in relation to this particular tax, and may be relied upon to do so. It is a source of revenue not to be despised, and does not press heavily upon anyperson. A. S. Farwell is an independent candidate, and when the Nelson Tribune accuses him of sailing under false colors it deliberately states what it knows to be false. As we said before, we much regret that there is not before the people of this riding, as a candidate for parliamentary honors, a straight out-and-out Government supporter, as we are convinced the policyr of the government is such as to merit the warmest support of the constituency. Under the circumstances, we have to select between A. S. Farwell, an independent man, and J. Fred Hume, a dependent, unsuccessful politician. The choice is not difficult to make. Those who know Mr. Farwell would never dream of <>censing him of sailing under false colors. Wh^t he say*s he means, and what he means he says. Some of his friends think that this trait of character is too marked in the man. There is one thing certain, that he will not be bound down by any party ties. When he goes to Victoria it will be to look after the interests of Kootenay first, but when questions arise affecting the general policy of the province he will cast his influence in with the party whose cause he believes to be right. The Tribune accuses Premier Turner of The Economist has all along contended that it is advantageous to have as a representative in the legislature a man who is not pledged to oppose the government on general principles. We all know wrhat an exhibition the Opposition, as a party, made of itself during last session. Opposition, obstruction aud abuse were the primitive levers used by these would-be legislators to move the government machinery-, and when the effort proved unsuccessful they blamed, not themselves, but those they were operating against. But, as before stated, /he fight\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-if fight it can be called\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDin this riding, is not a party affair ; the interests of the Kootenays are peculiar, and it is in the faithful representation of these that wre are the more closely concerned: This condition of affairs is now generally recognized throughout this section, and an honest effort is being made to select men to represent us who will not lose their identity in the meshes of party. The only claim put forth by Mr. Hume's supporters is that he is ah avowed party man. The party to which he belongs has been for years in the minority^. Why ? The people put them there, and the people, as a whole, are very good judges of what they want and how to get it. True, the people of this riding selected Mr. Hume, but there was no A. S. Farwell in the field in those days, nor would there be now if Mr. Hume or his party could render a satisfactory account of his stewardship.^ The Tribune wants to know why Mr. Far- well does not come out openhv and sayr whether he will support the Turner government or oppose it ?r Wh^t rot ! Mr. Farwell is an Independent candidate. If he pledged himself to oppose the Turner government he would be an Oppositionist ; if he undertook to support the Turner government, he would be a government candidate. But he does not bind himself to either party7. He will go to the capital as an Independent man pledged to support Kootenay, and that isthestyde of man Kootenay- wants'. \"If A S. Farwell is the smart man his friends claim him to be how comes it that he sees neither the faults of one party nor the merits of the other ?\" asks the Tribune. Surely there is no man living who does not see the faults of the Opposition. Mr. Farwell sees them and is too intelligent and manly to connect himself with that party. He also recognizes the merits of the government, and will not pledge himself to oppose that wl ieh is meritorious. The Tribune complains that the Alien Law does not go so far as to say Chinese and Japanese shall not be employed in the province, but merely that companies receiving concessions from the crown shall not employ them. Our neighbor must be aware that the provincial legislature has not the power to exclude Chinese or Japanese. This is an Imperial question which cannot be settled at Victoria. But the government did the next best thing\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDexcluded Chinese from public works. It would be a terrible blow to some of the Opposition if they had to do away with their coolie laborers. Attention is called to a letter in ou*\" correspondence column from \"One Who Knows.\" It will be a shocking revelation to many.

'' The political fight in the Nelson riding goes merrily along, and an illustration is being given of the fact that while men may not like a candidate's politics, a campaign may be waged without resorting to personalities or abuse.\" . \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD V The above is from Saturday's Nelson Tribune, and we fully endorse the sentiment. With two such men in the field as A. S. Far- well and J. Fred Hume there is no excuse for offensive personalities. Both men are willing to serve the people of this district to the best of their ability,' and it is for the people to decide which is the abler mni of the two. Both candidates are personal friends, and it is their desire that the campaign should be conducted with decency and in order. We hope nothing shall occur to mar the peaceful progress of events. We are decidedly of the opinion that Mr. Farwell is the better man of the two for the honorable position, and in emphasizing this statement we mean, no offence whatever to his friend and opponent. According to the Cycling Gazette, the bic3',cle insurance companies which were so numerous a couple of 3rears ago, have gone out of business like mam' other peculiar organizations which undertook to insure against burglaries, loss of situation and other ills to which the human race is liable. This particular insurance company, we are told, passed out of existence, not from the common cause \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDlack of patronage\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDbut because of positive carelessness and oftentimes absolute dishonesty on the part of those whom it intended to protect. To insure a wheel and lose it, or have it stolen, vvas too great a temptation for many of those insured. A great many peculiar insurance companies have been started from time to time, but there is room for yet another\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa company who will insure ordinal people from accident occasioned by bicyclists. The fees would necessarily be steep, but the multitude that would avail themselves of the protection would be great. Consider well Mr. Farwell's qualifications as a representative from this riding, and you will readily realize that he would be the right man in the right place. Implements of destruction continue to attract the attention of inventive genius. No sooner are torpedoes introduced than there appears the torpedo-catcher to counteract the torpedo : more powerful guns have their terrors diminished by shot and shell-proof armor- plating, but now comes an invention which, it is claimed, will revolutionize naval warfare. The inventor, Lieutenant Grandol, claims his S3-stem will increase the effective range of torpedo boats 6,000 yards by the use of aerial torpedoes charged with an explosive more powerful than dynamite. He asserts he has received a letter from President McKiiileyv 'saying.the American w-r and navy departments have been directed to investigate his sy-stem. If the aerial torpedoes be all that is claimed for them, it is to be hoped the Americans will arrange for a sufficient supply to bring the present war with Spain to a'.speedy- conclusion.v.. But:..-.,. they had better hurry iip, before some Irishman introduces an aerial that will leave Grandol's 6,000 yards behind. A cablegram from England states that they are still guessing there as to the probable successor of the Earl of Aberdeen in Canada. The,name that is now receiving attention is that of Lord Stratheona, Canada's high commissioner. He would make an acceptable governor-general. It is nearly time that some selectio-i were made. The Dominion Dav celebrations in Nelson brought thousands of-visitors'to the city, but in point of attendance-only-can the occasion be pronounced a success. '.With a few exceptions, the programme was carried out in angry disputations and turmoil, aud a couple of prominent members of the committee having charge of affairs made themselves,, conspicuous by their coarseness, foul language,.-. vulgarity;-' profanity and general i ttcMerance. Such exhibitions of ill temper and domineering impudence seldom disgrace sport. That such acts of\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwell, indiscretion, should have been so apparent, is much to be regretted. Nelson is one of the most charming places in the Koot- enay.s for a large gathering such as that of Friday and Saturday last, and that visitors should leave with the impression that they are discourteously, if not unfairly treated, is not calculated to make our annual holiday popular The cit\r did not present the gala appearance of former occasions, and with, perhaps, two exceptions, the competitive decorations were confined to the hotels and saloons. The committee in charge were evidently divided among themselves : at least this is the most charitable construction to put upon the matter, and on more than one occasion the few prominent members who seemed to constitute themselves the \" bosses of the show \" had to be \" pulled over the coals \" by the others. It is with great reluctance that we call attention to this disagreeable circumstance, but better far that this should be done than to attempt to cloak the actions of those who are responsible. A bad impression has been left upon the minds of visitors who came to witness or participate in the sports provided, and this we consider unfortunate. It is reported that Lord Brassey and several other members of the British aristocracy are making preparations for a tour of Canada shortl3r. It is to be hoped that nothing will occur to alter the arrangements of the party, as their visit will do much to advertise the vast resources of this county. with an air of authority on the subj ect, says that '.'. the giraffe exists for three quarters of the 3'ear in the north Kalahari without water.''

A much travelled gentleman, who speaks Arrangements have been made by which, the British'Columbia militia are to participate in the 4th of July celebration at Seattle. Surely; the war craze has struck our Yankee cousins hard. Col. Prior, the commander of the Fifth Regiment Canadian Artillery, as the militia -force of the coast cities is called, left for Seattle last night with 300 of his men, and in an open letter on the subject of the visit, the Colonel,says : '' At the present time the feelings of Great Britain and the United States are most cordial one towards the other, and it is the outspoken wish of the governments of both countries, and also of a unanimous press, that this feeling should be fostered and strengthened. This being^the case, it seems to me that it is our duty to assist to the utmost of our limited power in the bringing together of tlie two great English-speaking nations of the world ; and nothing on this coast can tend more to this end than the acceptance of the kind invitation to our militiamen by^ the citizens of Seattle.\" Grand Marshal Edsen, 'in addressing the executive committee at Seattle 9 few days ago, alluded to the acceptance of the invitation by the soldier boys of Canada, aud in so doing is reported to have said : \"The amount of interest taken in this event is not surprising, as these soldiers are coming to help our city celebrate the anniversary of the day when we 'licked their daddies.' \" If this be the spirit in which the visit is taken, it would be far better that the Fifth Regiment remained at home, or deferred their visit to some other occasion to that on which the people of Seattle are celebrating the licking of their daddies. A rumor was afloat some time ago that there was a threatened mutiny among the military expedition to the Yukon. The rumor is contradicted by the Minister of Militia. There is trouble enough in the Yukon without importing more\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDespecially military mutineers. A. S. Farwell was for a number of yeirs surve3'or-general of this province. He knows the county thoroughly, and particularly this district, and when he speaks on the subject he speaks with authority. He is the proper man to send to the provincial legislature.

IN THE MIRAGE, The train lumbered slowly into the little village station. Already the light was waning, the sky was clear and opalescent and the air was still. A man and his young wife\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa laughing girl\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDstepped out oil to the platform. They had been married that morning. A servant waiting on the platform collected their luggage, and they passed through the dingy booking office. Outside, theo sleek carriage horses fretted impatiently. A short drive took them to the lonely gray house upon the hill among the pines. Some hours later they sat together in a paneled room overlooking the avenue. On the walls of the room were the thing's that a great traveler and a great sportsman brings back with him. It had grown chilly and a fire had been lit there. Wax candles burned, in brass sconces on each side of the fireplace. The girl was in white (as she had been that morning in the church). She leaned back in her chair; still smiling and showing pretty white teeth. One hand played with the pearls at her throat, a gesture showing the beautiful curves of her bare arm. The man stocd watching her. He was middle-aged, tall, lean, wiry and clean shaven. His face was tanned. His eyes were exceptionally dark and striking. As she looked down at the tigerskin rug in front of the fire, she said ... \"Did you kill that?\" The man nodded. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD: Yes, I killed it.\" \"You never tell, me enough.\" she went oh, halrjestingl3r, \" about things that you have done. What is the use of beins: a traveler\" if one does not come back laden with stories of wonderful things ? \" . \"One tiger .story,\" the man replied, \"is generally very much like another. \" \" But there are other things,\" she said. \" Have you never been captured by brigands, . have y^ou never been nearly killed, or experimented with wonderful drugs in Chinese dens or been dying of thirst or seen the mirage ? \" He sat down in the chair facing her. His expression was one of habitual melancholy, just as hers was one of a continual light- heartedness. \" Yes,\" he said, \" I think I can lay claim to all those things. I have been captured by brigands, have experimented with hasheesh, have been practical^ dead, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD have seen the mirage, and \" \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD He paused. \" Well ? \" she said eagerly. \"I have also,\" he said, \"been in mirage.\" \" How can that be?\" she said. \"I taught about the mirage in my government days, all about the density of the air and the temperature and so on. Sometimes it.is lakes of water, sometimes it is a city with houses and temples and people, sometimes it is feathery palm trees, sometimes ships that sail across the sky, keel upward, but it is never real. How could you be in a thing which practically does not exist ? '' \"We had been marching four da3-s,\" he the was said dreamily. :' The sun was awful byr day, but the nights were cold. It was on the morning of the fifth day that they turned on me. Theyr took what there was and went off. I; was left on , the sand for dead\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDindeed, for some hours I must have been deadl\" \"Go on,\" said the girl, leaning forward now,Watching him intently, no longer smiling. \" How long ago was it ?\" , .\"..'' Ten, a dozen years ago\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwhen you were bowling your hoop in Kensington Gardens. And most of the story is very wearisomej but the fact is interesting that I was actually in the mirage.\" '...\" What was it like ?\" \"It was a city of ghosts. They moved silently about the grayr/ ghostly streets. They wore the costumes of all ages and all countries. It had a weird and bizarre effect. When I first came to consciousness in the mirage, the first thing that I. saw was a city man, silk hat, frock coat, expanded waistcoat, all the same grayr tint, all shadowy. Hewas talking with the ghost of a beautiful Egyptian woman. They spoke in whispers. Everyone spoke in whispers.\" \" Did any of them speak to you ? \" \"Yes ; hesitatingly at first, just as strangers do among the living. They told me that I was dead, that all these cities of the mirage were cities of the dead. They floated and drifted through the air, settling down now and then on the sand, as a bee might alight on a flower, passing onward again through space when any living being approached them. Everyr ship that is sunk sails again through the sky, manned by its drowned crew.\" \" You are saying this seriousl3r ?\" sheasked \" Quite. I know the scientific explanation that the ship is merely the image of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD* vessel out of sight. I dare say the scientific explanation is true, but I cannot believe it because I have experienced the other thing. I was just as certain of the existance of the shadow city and of myself as a shadow in its midst of the buildings I saw. the streets I traversed, the people to whom I spoke. I was just as certain of those things and of tl e fact that I was dead as I am now thtft I live, that I am in this particular room, that I touch your hand.\" She drew her hand away, watching him, half frightened. \" Why,\" she asked, \"did you not tell me about this before? \" \" It seemed useless, The story is incredible to even- one except myself. Besides, it is a little uncanii3r. I thought it might scare you.\" Now she laughed again, but rather nervously. \" I am not so easily frightened, but you must not go on believing it.\" \" Belief,\" he said, \" is not a matter of will. I was there in the mirage for some time. I have the most distinct recollection of it. I could take my sketchbook and draw you pictures of it.\" \"What was it like? What did you do there ? '' she asked. \"There was no work and no amusement. One neither ate nor drank ; neither slept nor made love. The houses were riot really inhabited ; they were like ghosts of houses, perpetuated through some strong human association. The doors stood open. Sometimes one wandered through them, but one did not live in them. Most of the time one wandered up and down the streets, feeling no fatigue, unconscious of heat or cold. It was all dead ; everything was dead. There was not even very much talking ; when one spoke one spoke of the past\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD : He broke off his account suddenly. \" Now,\" he said. \" let me tell you of something more cheerful.\" He told her story after story of his travel, all that was most amusing arid most commonplace. Her laughter and her color returned; but at the end of the stories, when the silence came, she abruptly said : \"Goon ! tell me more about the mirage ! \" \"You have heard enough,\" he said, \"and, beside, the rest is not verv Dleasant.\" \"T don't care for that, \"she said ; \" you must tell me. I want to hear it. I am not a bit frightened.\" And then for an hour he went on with the story. When he had finished, she made him take his sketchbook and draw for her some of the faces that he had seen there. She held the book in her hands and sat staring at them 'intently.'\" Suddenly she dropped the book and shivered. \"I have to do all that you ask,\" he said, \" but I do not think I should have let you have your own way in this thing. You are really frightened.\" He stepped across the tigerskin to her and stood by he.r, resting one hand on her hair. He remained thus for a moment, motionless. Then she suddenly sprang up with a loud scream and rushed away from him, cowering in one corner of the room. \"Don't touch me,\" she cried. \"Don't touch me;; don't look at me ! You have been among the dead ! \" The Hon. David Mills, Minister of Justice, intends gring to British Columbia in a few weeks, and will travel through the Kootenay country.

Some time ago the Woman's Art Association of Canada produced a jubilee, or historical, dinner set of china, which was on exhibition throughout the Dominion and was greatly- admired. The set contains 204 pieces, and was decorated by 16 successful exhibitors of the Association chosen from all parts of the Dominion. This historical set was purchased recently by7 some hundred or more members of the Senate and Parliament, and presented to Lady Aberdeen at the close of the prorogation ceremonies of the House, as \" a memorial or their esteem and affection in recognition of the signal devotion of your Excellency to the promotion of all good work in Canada, and your invariable kindness to the members of the Dominion Parliament.\" Her Excellency was much surprised, and assured the givers that their thoughtful action had '' strengthened and beautified \" her whole life.

An extensive mine owner himself, and having spent several years iti working properties in the Slocan, he is bet- -v ter fitted to know the needs of the miners arid .7 mine; owners and of the district than any other man that could be selected. In addition to this useful knowledge gained from practical experience in the Country; Mr. Retallack has the influence to do something, and the ability- as a legislator to command the attention of the government anci the provincial law-making body to any measure he might put forward. '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'\".-' VERNON NEWS. Some of the Opposition leaders are raising the ciy that the construction of the Boundary Creek railway is only an \"election dodge.\" They surely can hardly expect the people to forget that for three years the government has been working hard to secure the building of this road ; it would have been constructed long ago had it not been for the factious opposition of Mr. Semlin and his followers. As to the absurd statement advanced that the work will be discontinued after election'..day-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDsuch an argument hardly deserves a serious reply. Contractors who sign an agreement and deposit $75,000, as was done in this case, do not very often throw up a job like this, after having spent large sums in getting it under way. In any case, can any person point to a single instance when, such a work Was started under such conditions in this province, and afterwards discontinued before , completion ? The road will he'built, and that speedily. KAMLOOPS STANDARD. The Opposition contains Mr. Joe Martin, who was turned out of Manitoba, and who said of J. V. Ellis : \"He honored him for being an annexationist He was one himself.\" Mr. \" Windy \" Brown, the friend of the Chinamen, who always protects them by his vote. Mr. Semlin,. who votes against them but payrs his money out to them for wages. Mr. Deane says he will support any of these men as his leader if he is elected. NEW WESTMINSTER SUN. The Opposition are as factious as a bag of Kilkenny cats. Martin has knocked Cotton's plans out. Sword has destroyed Whetham in Dewdney, or vice versa, while it is now said of the \" Vedder \" and \" Monroe\" factions at Chilliwack that they \" never speak as they pass by.\" So it is all the way around\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD brother fighting brother, friend betraying ' friend. What a contrast to the way things are managed by the electorate supporting the Government ! No jarring, no misunderstandings, no domineering or tyrannical conduct as yet having been reported. In Delta, for instance, a great many of the electorate desired Mr. Thrift as the candidate, but the moment Mr. Thrift became convinced that Mr. Benson was the strongest man available he stepped aside and joined the convention in their determination to use all legitimate efforts to place Benson at the head of> the poll. The Opposition is split up and CcMinot hope to meet with any degree of success at the polls on July 9. THE COLONIST. One of the pet cries of the Opposition is that the Government has alienated practically all the public domain. We have seen it stated specifically in more than one of the Opposition papers, and have heard it more than once said iii the legislature that the Government has done this. Now, as a matter of fact, the area of British Columbia is upwards of 220,000,000 acres, and of this Only 10,000,000 acres have been alienated ; or one acre out of every 22. This hardly bears out Opposition contention, but it is about as near the truth as the average Oppositionist, can easily get when he discusses the policy of the local government. YMIR MINER. Ymir is certainly in luck as far as trails go as there are now four trails under headway- one to Craigtown and the Second Relief mine, one to Porto Rico Siding, one to the Jubilee mine and the fourth up Porcupine creek. These trails are being built by the government. Work was commenced on them early yesterday morning, Mr. Grauthan being in charge. We can credit these trails to Mr. A. S. Farwell, the Independent candidate for the legislature, for if it had not been for his influence we probably would not have had these trails built. He promised that he would build trails for Ymir and novv he is fulfilling his promises\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand he will faithfully fulfill every promise made to the people of Ymir. Can you afford to vote against a man like A. S. Farwell? This is only a starter, and we can look for more improvements in the future. If 3^ou elect Mr. Farwell to the legislature he will be a friend to Ymir and see that we get the appropriations that are justly due us. Vote for A. S. Ferwell first, last and all the time. CRANBROOK HERALD. While Mr. Baillie is harping on the Chinese question, he does not do it as a matter of pure principle, or he would not ignore the fact that his master, Mr. Bostock, \"employs three Chinamen on his ranch, one for cooking, one for gardening and the third for irrigating. If he does not- prefer them to Canadians it is very self sacrificing of him to employe them, as it would not be a matter of dollars and cents with such a rich man.\" It is plainly evident that with Mr. Baillie sauce fcr the Bostock goose is not sauce for the Baker gander. ROSSLAND TIMES. The spectacle of Jim Martin delivering his own election address from door to door in Grand Forks is just what might have been expected. Mr. Martin had to \"put up\" the whole of the jack-pot, not a big one by any means, but small as it was it was quicklyr grabbed by the hungry crowd which forced his hand, and now he has to economise by acting as his own distributor. Poor Jim Martin has yet to find out why he was chosen. It may not be palatable, but the fact of the matter was that there was not another Opposition man in the city who was not either \"broke\" er next door to it. That's why. THE NATION. In answer to a correspondent, it may.be stated that when Jerome K. Jerome wrote \"Three Men in a boat (to say nothing of the dog,\" he had no reference to the tri-colored Opposition ticket in Victoria. It will be noticed that Mr. Jerome's party numbered four ; the dog is missing in the Victoria \" aggregation.\" Probably he was stolen with other dogs and taken toKlondyke ; or perhaps he is ashamed to travel on the same train. VANCOUVER WORLD. The Opposition, if their platform and press utterances are indicative of what policy they would inaugurate as to the development of a country, are a relic of non-progressiveness. One might just as..well ask a farmer to make his holding pay without first spending money \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDin clearing, fencing and otherwise improving it as expect the development and opening up of this province without a liberal expenditure of money. The first cost is always the heaviest, but the country necessitates it before an influx of population, and consequent development, can be expected in any particular district. The facilities for doing business must be established before business can be done. This is the policy which has governed the actions of trie Turner administration, and is in marked contrast with the Micawber-like one of the Opposition who are willing to wait for something\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe advancement of the province as a whole in this case\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDto turn up instead of arousing themselves to accomplish it. They now condemn the government for accomplishing something for the people's welfare, and have therefore left themselves without campaign ammunition of any value whatever. We have >*et to read one speech of an Opposition supporter where their policy is outlined in detail as to\" what they would do in the way of legislation in the departments of provincial affairs. We ask them, for instance, what they do in the way of giving railway communication to the mining districts of the interior. Let them show the people that they have a practical scheme to present to the people as to how to carry to completion in the best way that all-important work. They are content v\ ith saying that the scheme proposed by the Government is entirely wrong ; and not being able to present a better one the people are not going to take chances as to whether in the future theyr may be able to formulate one. Actions speak louder than words, and the electors are content, and justly so, to support those who will do something practical for their benefit instead of always indulging in the vague theories to which the Opposition- have confined themselves. 6 THE NELSON ECONOMIST.

For stealing a keg of beer from the Tre- mont, J. W. Barber has been sentenced to two months' imprisonment byr Police Magistrate Crease.' ./'\" . The wages of laborers at the' Hall mines have been reduced from 25c. to 20c. per hour, and a number of them have ceased work in consequence. The Misses Clark and their brother James, who have been attending school at Otta\va, are spending their vacation in Nelson with their mother. Fred Williamson, of the Aaron's Rod Min- ing Co., is in town, and reports everything as looking bright at the property. He is enthusiastic on the point. Now that the Dominion Day celebrations are over, it will be in order to prepare for celebrating the victory of A. S; Farwell at the polls on Saturdays next. The town \"of Brooklyai started a couple of weeks agOj has now a population of .fully. r ,000. The Brooklynites have started well in decreeing that no Chinaman shall dwell in their midst. The local members of the Kootena\r Rifles are expecting their uniforms this' week, and thereis talk of inducing the authorities to consent to the organization of a second company in the city.. It is expected that the Trail smelter will be in full blast again in about two weeks from date. Under the new management the smelter will be a great boon to the adjacent mining countn7. It may be accepted as a fact that the Northern Pacific Railway Co. have secured the Corbin railway system in this province.

Jack O'Neill and W. H. W7est had a wrestling match in Nelson on Thursday evening, which resulted in a victory for the former. It was catch-as-catch-can throughout, and some very clever work was shown. Chief of Police McKinnon, his assistant and a few special constables managed to preserve order during the celebrations, and from the intelligent manner in which theyr did their business there were few arrests. Archdeacon Pentreath officiated at the services in the Church of England on Sunday, occupying the pulpit in the evening. The archdeacon announces that his trip through the Boundary country has resulted in the establishing of missions at Greenwood, Mid- wayr and Grand Forks. L. M.

Much regret is expressed that the competition was not more lively. Besides hotels and saloons there was very little bunting or evergreens displayed. Rev. A. B. Winchester, of Victoria, occupied the pulpit in the Presbyterian church yesterday, the occasion being the re-opening services. The edifice has -been enlarged con- siderablyr and rendered even more comfortable. There will be a social and musical treat this evening at the church, for which an excellent programme has been provided. W. M. Ross is out with a challenge for a drilling contest with M. McNichol 01 his partner, Stephenson, the purse to be from $300 to $500. In the contest on Saturday Ross claims that he was cheated out of one minute, thirty7 seconds. There were fifteen drills used, a fresh steel being used ever3-- minute. When time was called Ross had only' half used his fourteenth drill and had the fifteenth untouched. The Harry Lindley Co. continue to play^ to full houses at the rink, and as there is a nightly change of programme, all tastes are catered to, and every one is pleased. The company is so well organized and the parts so well selected that the3r are at ease in anything undertaken. The liberal support accorded is unmistakable testimony to the popularity of the Harry Lindley Co. The attraction for tonight is the well-known comedy drama \" Alone in London.\" THE CELEBRATIONS. The Dominion Da3' celebrations in Nelson brought together the largest gathering of people ever witnessed in the city. Special arrangements had been made by the several railwa3- and steamboat companies to accomodate visitors, aud the weather being glorious, a pleasant time was enjoyred by the ordinary\" spectator. Those who came to participate in some of the leading events on the programme of sports protest that they were not fairly treated, especially7 the Kaslo contingent. However this may- be with the hose reel contest, Kaslo should have no kick coming as to the treatment accorded her sprinting champion Dill. This gentleman's challenges were freely accepted and the Nelson, runners were prepared to meet him on ordinary terms, but Dill insisted on making his own terms, and these were so unreasonable that the race was called off. The following are the particulars of the chiefevents. . Hub-and-hub race open to all comers, was won by the Nelson team in 13 seconds. In the wet test the Rossland and Nelson teams competed, but Kaslo was excluded through a misunderstanding with Mayor/Houston. Rossland won, time being 32^ ; Nelson 34 1.-5. Jack, a Northport horse, won the quarter- mile race ; Fifty-five, 2nd ; Rossland, 3rd. In the race for Nelson horses, B. Wilson's Harry won\"; J. Patterson's Wild Cat 2nd. The 600 yard race was won by Rossland ; Barney 2nd. A quarter mile race for Slocan horses, brought three to the start. It was won byr Fred. Tak won the pony race ; Little Buck 2nd. Jim Cow won the slow mule race amidst great merriment. The 100 yard dash was won by W. T. Watson ; Geo. Nunn,.2nd. 220 yards, Geo. Nunn 1st, W. T. Watson 2nd. R. G. Joy won the single scull race, beating Coxhead by about three lengths. The baseball match between Nelson and Slocan City was won by the home team. At the end of the eighth innings the score stood 20 to 6. o . ' H. Stutter carried off the potato race, with A. Jeffs second and W. Cowan a close third. The four-oared race was won byc the crew stroked by Abe Johnson. Three boats started. The double-canoe race was won by7 Haines and Winter, two other canoes competing. A four-paddle race was won by Haiue's crew. The rock-drilling contest proved very interesting. Three teams entered, and Burns and Tallon were declared winners, drilling 40^/8 inches in fifteen \"minutes : McNicol's and Stephenson's record was 39^. Ross and Mc- Mullen were down 37 inches when time was called, and they claim that they were out a minute and a half. They had a spare drill which was pointed to in support of their claim. The bicycle race brought four wheels to the starting point, and resulted in a win for Hip- person, with Richardson second.

Dear Sir :\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-This afternoon I walked down to call on a friend, who resides near a milk ranch, not more than a mile from town. On the way we could not but admire the many improvements that are going on\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDfine new sidewalks and beautiful new villas being built. Just after we passed the milk ranch we became aware of something very disagreeable in the air. On making enquiry, we were told that the town scavengers, not having any place allotted to them where they could establish a crematory, are carting the rubbish, etc., down to just a little below the milk ranch and there digging holes for it. Also, we found as bad, if not a worse evil there\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnamely, a shed where they slaughter cattle, and leave the entrails, etc., lying round rotting in the sun. It will be a great wonder if there is not an outbreak of fever shortly in that district. We hurried out of the place, leeling sorry for our friends, who have taken up their residence there, and, after going so far, cannot even get fresh air to breathe. Where is our health inspector ? Has he gone to the Coast for the summer, I wonder? If so, I think he had better be telegraphed for, and asked to enquire into the health of the cattle that are slaughtered in that shed, and what is done with the carcases. Who eats them ? One Who Knows. Nelson, B. C, June 30, 1898. ADDRESS. 1 To the Electors of the Nelson Riding of West Kootenay Electoral District: Gentlemen : I offer myself as an independent candidate to represent you in the next Provincial Parliament. Should I be fortunate enough to secure your support I shall endeavor to bring about the following reforms: 1. A change in the mineral act to compel all'partners'in a mining claim to bear their share of the assessment work, or forfeit their interest. 2. An amendment to cause litigants to put up reasonable security for costs before adver- sing applications for certificates of improvements. 3. Regular promotion in the civil service, avoiding the injustice of the appointment of outsiders over the heads of men already in the service, all vacancies being filled by our own people. 4. The removal from the statute book of the discriminatory tax of 5 dollars per annum on mechanics, miners and others employed in our metalliferous mines. If returned, I pledge myself to work to the best of my ability to secure a local expenditure of public monies in proportion to the revenue collected in the district, aud to ensure such expenditure being laid out to the best possible advantage. The mining interests of British Columbia have now reached such proportions that it is desirable they should be administered by a separate department under the charge of a minister who would devote his undivided attention to the subject. I shall endeavor to rescind the legislation of '96 by which mining suits were taken out of the jurisdiction of the County Court and relegated to the Supreme Court, thereby entailing increased costs and interminable delays. During the past eight years Kootenay has been represented by straight government supporters and by an out-and-out oppositionist. The result in neithei case has been satisfactory. I consider that the time has arrived when all the Kootenay members should join in advocating measures for the benefit of this district as a whole and for its special industry, 'without regard to party.

WOMAN'S KINGDOM. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDWhen the sultan of Johbre wears his crown and his state clothes, the diamonds on him alone are estimated to be worth ,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD2,500,000. His collar, his epaulets, his /gridle aiid cuffs, the handle and blade of his. sword, are all studded with precious gems. His bracelets are of massive gold, and his fingers are covered with rings that are almost priceless. But perhaps the most costty insignia of princely dignity are those of another tributary prince of British India, themaharajah of Baroda. This gentleman's chief ornament is not a crown; but a necklace of five strands containing 500 diamonds, some of which are as large as hazel nuts, while the upper and lower rows consist of emeralds of the same size. any healthy exercise or diversion, enough of afternoon naps, perhaps. In such cases the husband is often to blame because he gives nag for j nag instead of looking straight for the fundamental cause of the trouble. There are many cases where such a woman begins by showing a longing for a little more attention, a little more^ tenderness, an invita- tation to a concert, or a cozy little dinner out with her husband. The man who does not take that as a sign is responsible for pretty much all that follows,, and sometimes it amounts to something -vexy like criminal responsibility.'7 A kernel of corn or a pea or other small substance gets into a child's nose, and the problem is to remove it. The following method is effectual in accomplishing the object desired : Inject into the free nostril with a common syringe a stream of tipid water. The sides of the n )stril should be closed around the point of the syringe to prevent- a reflux of the water. Use a moderate degree of fi >ree, and\" the stream will make a circuit through the posterior nasal cavity and pass out of the opposite nostril, dislodging the foreign substance. A more simple-method is this: The. patient takes a \" deep breath,\" then closes the-mouth and the free nostril and forces' his breath through the obstructed nostril. If.the child is old enough to do it perfectly, he may blow out the corn or pea or whatever has found a lodgment in the nasal passage. [L.S.] TIIOS. R. McINNES. CANADA PROVINCE-OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.

One time out of ten she is hateful. The cases that come under the physician's eye are those of the women who are tired and have been tired so long the3r are suffering from some of nervous disease. The}' think they t-re only tired, but in fact they are il, audit is that soit of illness in which the will is weakened and the patients give way to a-uioyances that they would ignore if in a healthy condition. In such cases the woman often suffers more from her naT?ing than the husband or the chi'dren with whom she finds fault. She knows she does it. She does not intend to do it. She suffers in her own self respect when she does it, and in the depths of her soul longs for something to stop it. The condition is usually brought on by broken sleep, improper food, want of some other exercise than housekeeping, and of enough out- of-door air and practical objective thinking. It is often the most un- j selfish and most affectionate of wo- j men who fall into this state.
