BULLER FORCED TO RETIRE Did so in Good Order. London*, .January 2.S.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDTlio following is the text of general Buller's despatch, dated Spearman Camp, Saturday, January 27fch, 0:10 p. m.: ''On .January 20th Warren drove back the enemy and obtained possession of the southern crests of the high table land, extending from the line of Acton Holmes and Honger's Port to the western Ladysmith hills. From then till January 25th he remained in close contact with the enemy. \"The enemy held a strong position on a range of small kopjes, stretching from the northwest to southwest, to southeast across the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDplateau from Acton Holmes through Spion Kop to the left bank of the Tugela. \"The actual position held was perfectly tenable, but did not lend j itself to an advance, as the southern slopes were so steep that Warren could not get an effective artillery position, and water supply was a difficulty. \"On .January 23rd I assented to his attacking Spion Kop, a large hill, indeed a mountain, which, was evidently the key of the position, but was far more accessible from the north than from the south. On the night of January 23rd he attacked Spion Kop, but found it very difficult to hold, as its perimeter was too large, and water, which he had been led to believe existed, in this extraordinary dry season was found to be very deficient. \"About 2 o'clock on the morning of January24th (Wednesday), when heavy clouds rested upon the kopjes, the main point of the Boer position, Tahanyama, was stormed by the British infantry, under general Woodgate. Our force crossed a ravine and climbed the mountain side steadily, getting within thirty yards of the. enemy's not only heavily delaying .but is1 concealing all, important matters. To judge with, any accuracy of tho extent \"of the'disaster is virtually impossible. It appears that general Buller had altogether five brigades wholly or partly engaged :\" general Coke's, general Hillyard's, general Hart's, general Woodgatc's and general Lyttleton's.. and the 270 casual-tics already announced in Lyttleton's brigade are thus explained. Much mystery still surrounds the retreat. It is possible, that general,Buller has Avord that the whole of his forces are south of . the Tugela, but^it is generally assumed that general J _yt- tieton's brigade and lord Oundon- ald's cavalry and other troops are still on the north side of that river. Largo arrivals of troops* aro due at Cape Toavii during the Aveek. The Avar office, anticipating a groat crush at the opening of parliament, has placed new restrictions upon visitors during the session. The situation at other points is unchanged, but indications that lord Roberts is preparing a plan for an advance across the Orange river came iu a dispatch to tho Daily Chronicle from Slerkstrom, dated January 2.7th, which says that the important position near Steyns- burg, on the Stormberg-Roseniead line, is now occupied by the British, Avho are repairing the railway and bridges. The correspondent observes that this AA'ill facilitate communication between general Gat- acre and general Kelly-Kenny. ALL DEPENDS ON LAURIER Will He Oppose the Canal? Nkw York, January 28.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe London correspondent of the Tribune, cabling regarding the pros- pcctiA-o building of the Nicaraguan canal by the United States government, blames Canada for having blocked an agreement a year ago, and says that- the Dominion still stands in the way of an amicable arrangement. He says: \"There has been no renewal of negotiations respecting the revision of the Clay- ton-BuhA*er convention through the American embassy, but it is not improbable that the question will be taken up at any early date, when instructions are received from the state department. Both the ambassador and the secretary of the embassy are now properly reticent, contenting themselves Avith the statement that the subject has not been brought to the attention of the foreign office through their instrumentality. \"The truth about the matter A\*as told a year ago in these dispatches. Informal overtures Avere made to lord Salisbury for a revision of the treaty iu accordance Avith the altered conditions of the question of interoceanic transit, and Avere met in a just and concilatory spirit. The results of those conferences Avere communicated . to the state department, and a new draft of the Clayton-Buhver convention was prepared in Washington, after consultations betAAreen colonel Hay and lord Pauncefote. This draft was not signed, but AA'as probably sent to the foreign office and is uoav pigeon-holed there. . \"The principles agreed upon last year, as cabled in these dispatches, were the single control of the canal by the United States, and tho adoption of the Suez regulations for keeping the AvaterAyay open in peace and.wai- under the gurantce of neutrality. Tho \"signatures - alone are required for the settlement of the question. There is no reason to doubt that lord Salisbury's opinion, respecting tiie advisability of substituting a*single for a dual control of the canal across either the isthmus or Nicaragua, remains unchanged,'--, free to act upon, [f the question is raised on imperial or commercial grounds he Avould stinc- tion the revision of the old treaty oh American lines, Avith a guarantee that the Avater way should be regulated on the Suez principles. \"It AA'as Canada that blocked the agreement a year ago, and it is Canada that uoav stands in the Avay AA'ith even greater poAver of resistance. Canada is displaying splendid loyalty to the mother country in a grave imperial crisis by sending troops to South Africa, No British prime minister iu, these circumstances can agree to sottle the canal question if Canada insists upon connecting it artificially with the 'Alaskan boundary and other controversies, and having them adjusted- simultaneously. - It- is- Canadian opposition, that keeps the Hay-Pauucefote draft of the revised treaty, in a pigeon hole of the foreign office; \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The Canadian veto served to block the negotiations' a, year ago, but the Canadian volunteers for- service hv South Africa now impart additional power to that A*eto. \"American diplomacy,meanwhile, has increased its resource.*-. It lias placed the foreign office under heaVy obligations for substantial service. It has taken up the open- door-question in China, and Avorked out a settlement on paper with the collective guarantee of the European poAA'cts and Japan, of the English principle. The state department has, therefore, advantage ground upou which to press for the revision of the canal treaty ou the principal that one good turn deserves another. Canada can block the Avay, however, if her ministers persist in enforcing their veto poAver. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is today the loading imperiaH.t politician, Cecil Rhodes being in enforced retirement at Kimberley. If he is capable of raising about the level of local interests he Avill take the imperialist vioAV of the canal question, and perceive that it Aviil be an advantage to the empire as a whole to haA'e the treaty of 1850 revised and adjusted to altered conditions. If he be merely a local and provincial premier ho Avill raise objections, talk about the give and take principle, demand a harbor in Alaska and remain a dog iu the manger. The settlement of the canal question in reality depends upon Laur- ier's capacity friv demonstrating that he is a true imperialist, aud not a loyal statesman who sees only Canada when he talks about the interest of tV.e Avorld-wide empire. \"The'Spc ator today has au admirable article oii this important subject, adA'ocating the abrogation or the revision of the Clayton -Bul- Aver couA'ention as', a matter of enlightened self-interest on the part of England, and contending that while Canada must be treated Avith all possible consideration, she ought to be willing to make sacrifices for the welfare of India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the empire as a whole.\" WARREN'S LOSS UNKNOWN BRITISH WERE DRIVEN OUT Could Not Ho! d'Spion Kop. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\".v-...: London, January '29.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDA special despatch from.

They deployed to general Warren's right flank, and reenforc- ed the troops in possession of Tab- auyaina. They were subjected to a heaA-y Boer shell; fire, but stood their ground nobly.

The Daily News publishes a dispatch dated Spearman's camp, Wednesday ... afternoon, but held back, presumably by the censor, until Friday, January 20th, 0:40 p.m. The correspondent says : \"Having gallantly taken a portion of Taban- yama mountain_ during last night, general Warren's troops arc finding considerable difficulty in holding it.

The- heights at the place where they arrived Avere precipitous, and their task was no light one. They advanced, however, and apparently at first Avithout tho knowledge of the Boers, but before reaching the t top they became exposed to a flank fire from the enemy. The last part of the hill was even more precipitous than the road along which they had come; but the bravo' fellows scrambled up, little by little, until they reached the top and threw themselves down upon the ground AA'ith a cheer.. It was grandly accomplished. - There is still-tho serious difficulty of keeping . this important point Avithout artillery. The position, therefore now is that the British hold Spion Kop at the east end of tho - range. They ' also hold the west end.

Nrav York, January 28. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The London correspondent of the Tribune, in his cabled reA'ieAV of the South African situation under Sunday morning's date, says: \"Tho Avar office explained yesterday that the casualty list of Lyttleton's brigade was not connected with the seizure and abandonment of Spion Kop. It also admitted that general Warren's losses in that mysterious affair had been probably heavy. With these two official memorandos, and with seA'eral minor casualty lists, the ''public was forced to be content until midnight. While the alarming rumors of a serious reverse, which AA*ere current in the city ou Friday night, AA'ere not confirmed, the abandonment of.Spion Kop and general Lyttleton's engagement remained .mysteries, which were not cleared up outside the Avar office. \"A '-Berlin story, that general Warren had been led into au ambuscade and that seventeen of his guns had been taken, Avas discredited by the officials here, but there AA'as an uneasy feeling of suspicion in London that there was unfavorable -news' which had' been held back. This Avas perhaps the natural effect of nervous reaction, after three days of excitement caused by the premature^jihnouncementof a night attack, the seizure of Spion Kop, aud its final abandonment. \"Practical Englishmen are beginning to ask whether the people, who are paying the expenses of the AA'ar, and sending men to fight their battles, have not a right to demand a daily bulletin from an official source, with a summary of trustAvorthy :news'.'' The censorship has disarmed the press, which is only able to print mutilated and belated dispatches. It has been extended from the dispatches to mail letters and private correspondence. The martinets have even gone so far as to open letters Avritten by special corres- ponents to their Avivos. With all these extraordinary -precautions.to. secure the \"British army against the premature disclosure of information to an enemy Avell served by spies in every camp, the British,, public has no safeguard against sensationalism, like last Aveek's 'announcement of a night attack before' it Avas made, nor is it allowed a daily bulletin judiciously compiled at headquarters. <* There are also dispatches',, .indicating the severity with which the Boers are bombarding Kimberley, and their steadiness clamation by sir Alfred Milner, that the queen's goA'ernment Avill not recognize as valid any forfeiture, fine or encumbrance on property in the Transvaal or Free State, subsequent to the declaration of Avar. This is explained by South Africans as aimed apparently at tho Boer government measures for taking over and confiscating valuable, mining property, in its unique method of financing the war at tho expense of European and American shareholders. ' - _* RAILWAY MEN PROMOTED Albert New-bond Killed. Au unfortunate fatality is reported from Ymir, the victim being Albert NeAvbond, a Avell known aud popular young man. Mew bond ,hnd a contract to take out Avood for the Tamarac mine, two miles from Ymir, and Avas working only a short distance from the camp. On Thursday he '.vent out to the point at Avhich he was operating and nothing more was seen of him that day, a fact which, apparently caused no apprehension. At 7:30 o'clock next morning a passerby discovered Ncav- bond beneath a. great pile of Avood, Avhich had slid and crushed him in a terrible manner. Life was not yet extinct, but the vital .spark died out shortly after ho Avas brought down the hill. The funeial took place yesterday at Ymir and AA'as largely attended. displayed in meeting Warren's attack at Spion Kop, with a mysterious account of a brisk skirmish with Methuen's infantry. \"Rumors are also reported of an attempted sortie by the lancers from Ladysmith, on Wednesday. A private letter received at camp at Chieveley, from one of the officers at Ladysmith after the battle of Colenso, contained-this sally: \"If -you-folJo.v.-. don't come up,soon, Ave- slmll have to fight our AA*ay doAvn and relieve you.\" There may be truth in that jest. \"There were dispatches.last'night from ,Ren.-burg, Avith a detailed account of ii hard day's Avork on. Thursday by French's force, with a faint attack in one direction, and an extended reconnaissance, iu another.' General Roberts confirmed this, and added the fact that the enemy aviis strongly posted at Piet- fo'ntein. A small casualty list, twelve names, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD represented this affair. General French's matin \"ii vers will npt be unintelligible.

The remaining two sides Avould meet at Springfon- tein, Avell on the Avay to Bloemfon- tein. General Roberts has 10,000 fresh troops, of sixth division for this Avork, if he has it in mind, and 10,000 more of seventh division coming, to support them. General Kitchener's hand can be detected in the stereotyped phrase: \"No change in the situation,\" repeated night after night. Ho is probably doing a deal more work than he cares to have either the enemy or the public at home to know. He believes in the censorship, and does not scruple to make a scientific use of it. \"One of the dispatches from Cape Toavii contains a summary of a pro- ARISTOCRATS FOR SERVICE Officers of the Eighth Division.

John Hamilton AA'ill be train master of all the branch lines of the company in Kootenay, and D. O. LeAA'is resident engineer. All these officials Avill haAre their headquarters at Nelson, and as they are all property-J owers here it is not likely that the town will be anything but gainer by their promotions. : Mr. Beasley has been in Kootenay for close on to fifteen year's, and his departure for Montreal Avill be regretted by both old-time residents of the district and old-time railway men. As an official he is courteous and obliging, and as a-citizen he is respected. Captain Troup's promotion AA'ill be as Avell received as it i.s Avell earned, for no man in the province has done more to give the traA*eling public first-class facilities and accommodations. He is progressive and broad-gauged, and Kootenay and Yale will have the best that is going in the way of steamboat and railroad equipment. John Hamilton is so Avell knoAvn among railway men that he needs no introduction, for he Avas on the Pacific division before the right-of- way A\*as_ cut.

BUSKIN'S LOVE AFFAIR. John Ruskin, who died in London on January 20th, had an eventful, career. Briefly told, the facts of Ruskin's life are these: He inherited a fortune of nearly a million dollars. He became the greatest art critic in England.- He married one of the most beautiful women iu ;the British empire. But, after a short married life, he discovered that his adored Avife loved another man and was loved in return. With magnificent self-abnegation he divorced her in order that she might.marry his rival) who was also his friend..: He gave her away at the altar, and ever afterwards lived unwedded. His last years have been subject'to. recurrent attacks of in-, sanity, and uoav the master mind, \"magnificent though in ruins,\" is stilled forever. No =loArc sfory of the century equals in its splendid unselfishness and devotion that of John Ruskin. No love of the century Avas more exalted and happy than that of his Avife after she Avas Avedded to the man she loved. John Ruskin Avas born on tho 8th of February. 1S19, the son of a Avealthy Avine.merchant of London., To his father he owed his artistic bent; but to his mother, a sailor's daughter, and his aunts, one a baker's Avife, the other a tanner's, he also owed much in the formation of his character. It is only, two years ago since the woman Avho for a feAV short months was Ruskin's wife died. It is only three years ago that the man avIio Avon her from Ruskin succumbed to painful disease and left the Avorld saddened by his death.' Ruskin-Avas married to Euphemia Chahnefs in 1S3S Avhon he avjis 34. years old. She Avas nearly a dozen years his junior, a girl of surpassing beauty. lie lo\*ed her with the absorbing self-forgetting -leA-*otion that comes but once in a lifetime, aud Avas never tired of talking of her and telling of her beauty. One day John Millais, a young paiute.1 of promise, came to dine Avith the Ruskins. He Avas about 24 years old and one of the handsomest men \" that eA*er lived\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtall, strong and with the face of a Greek god. , The-young Avife as she first ap- Ward Bros.

To his dying day Millais repeated times Avithout number that in no other Avoman had lie ever found so perfect an incarnation of IoA'eliness. The young painter, attracted by the unusual physicial beauty of his preceptor's wife, learned all too soon the sweetness AA'hich made her character the realization of his eA*ery ideal, aud Avith the keen, unerring eyes of love he divined her unhappincss. Ruskin's temperament and that of his wife AA'ere radically opposed.' The very fact that John Ruskin neA'cr doubted his wife's happiness until Millais came into his life, and that as soon as he. recognized it he took steps to repair \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD it, speaks volumes for the innocence and purity of tho AA'oman concerned. Millais saAv with a clearer-vision,'he noted all these conditions plainly enough, but he AA'as a honest young fellow, and although his heart almost broke at the thought, he resolved to quit England, where the only -woman he could e\*er love dwelt as the Avife of another man and that man his friend. So Millais, the student, told Ruskin, the guide and friend, the mentor and prophet, of his intention, aud Ruskin recklessly defied the gods by insisting that Millais should remain by .protesting that his future demanded it, and before the half-dazed painter realized what it all must mean, he found himself, through his preceptor's .commands, daily at Ruskin's studio, daily his guest. at dinner. The picture of \"The Huguenot Lovers\" AA'as at this time first contemplated, and after- Avards executed, Avith Mrs. Ruskin, at her husband's suggestion, posing for the figure of the woman. The picture Avas almost pleted.

In that instant -both recognized the Jove they thought could never know fulfillment. Millais opened his arms, and took .the woman to Ills heart in a long embrace wliich he honestly meant as a farewell. For days after that Mrs. Ruskin did not see Millais. She aA*oided him in every possible Avay. John Ruskin, silent and taciturn, studied the painting, \"The' Huguenot Lovers.\" What he had not seen in the,eyes of the living man aud Avoman he recognized in t-ha eyes of the painted figures.

He gave up his most., precious treasure\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe woman whose-happiness Avas dearer to him,- than his own. Quietly and .without-, heroics Ruskin told his Avife that: he had divined her secret. He desired, he said, aboATe all things, that she should be a happy Avife.; He! could see that the love he had not been so fortunate as to evoke in her -.she gaA*e to the man.. Avhose character and attributes he believed, honestly Avere Avorthy of it. He AvasVdeter- mined that he should not ruin the happiness of two lives. He insisted upon a divorce, Avhich he himself Avould undertake to secure, and he was as good as his word. Mrs. Ruskin, Avithout the slightest scandal, Avithout the shadow of imputation upon her - character, was diA'orced with the. court's consent to herresuming her maiden name.; Three months.after the, decree was. granted, Miss Euphemia Chalmers was married to John Millais, esq.,, and the bride was given . to her husband at the alter by John Ruskin. This called forth a haughty rebuke from Queen Victoria, Avho refused to recognize Lady Millais,: as she afterwards became, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD until Avithin a year of sir John's death. In thus giving into the arms of another the Avife whom he adored, John Ruskin Avas simply following out his own creed of ethics.: In A*ulgar parlance, he Avas practising Avhat ho preached. In: that he; showed himself more sincere than most men. Perhaps he. found his reward-in- the knowledge that the woman he loved Avas royally- generously -happy.- When sir John Millias, presiden t of the Royal Academy,Avas stricken with illness, the physicians- pronounced it cancer of the throat;ih a virulent form. Sir. John.: himself: Avas kept in ignorance of the serious nature of his sickness, but. .his wife was told, and the -physicians tried: to extort from- her the promise that she Avould not approach the patient. No sooner had the doctors left her after giving her this intelligence than she Avent to her husband's bedside, bout down and deliberately kissed him. The Avife knew that Avith her kisses she courted-most agoilixiug death. It^vas the death her be- loA'ed muse suffered. She had shared his life ; they had been .one in e\7erything; she resolved that he Avhom she loved better than life should help her to the death she chose because it Avas his. Sir John died in August, 189.5, and lady Millais died of the same disease, cancer of the throat, in December of the following year. Buskin's career may be considered an ideal, one. lie always had a quick sympathy with the Avorking people, and strove Avith philanthropic zeal his life tlirough to better their surroundings and conditions, and to inspire them to struggle patiently and noblj-*, and to AA'ork honestly. One of his most striking characteristics Avas his generosity. His fortune of $S50,000 has long since been spent in donations, in educational foundations, in the\" establishment of museums, etcv,_and in- open-handed \"charity.\" Even from the sale of his books he only permitted a profit to accrue to him large enough to meet his necessary Avants. Nor has he failed in other Avays to live up to the standard demanded by his own teaching. So long as lie had money to spend he took not a penny of interest for money that he could not employ in labor-sustaining investment. He also promoted a Well, (1300) fancy !_, avJioii Pete Dunne was Sunday editor of the Tribune, he discovered and frequented McGarry's place and became much interested in the pecul iar character of its proprietor. -In some of his humorous articles Mr. Dunne began to make references to and quotations from Jim McGarry, to the amusement and delight of all avIio kneAv him.' These at first pleased McGarry, but soon he became suspicious that Pete's references were not Avholly complimentary. When Dunne moved over to the Post, and PoAvers began to illustrate these sketches Avith Avonderful pictures of McGarry, in a loud-figured A'est and shirt sleeA'os, in the act of declaiming to his hearers, the victim's patience AA-as [exhausted, and he made a call of protest upon the man avJio AA*as fast making him famous. \"Pete,\" said he, \"ye'llhave t' quit -it;\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDTh'-bys_do be_guyin''Ui' loife\" ouc'n mo; an' 'f I see me name in th* paypers again I'll sue yez f'r alley- mony'z shore's hell.\" So Mr. Dunne, out of his consideration for his friend's feelings, changed the name to \"colonel Mc- Neary,\" avIio thereafter figured in his sketches for n period of nearly two years. Hut Powers' depicted colonel McXeary in the same checkered A*e.-.t and Avith the .^amo profound features that had .-haracter- is-ed hi1*, illustrations of McGarry, so. none of the Post's readers avus deceived by the change of name: Again McGarry made a pilgrimage to Dunne's office, but- this time it AVas to plead, rather than threaten. \"Pete,\" lie began, despondently, \"ye'\re mint me repetition. I don't dare .-how me face in me own house. Whimiiver 1 opens th'dure me wife 'n' childer begins kiddin' me 'bout McXeary, an' even me fav'rit barber asks me this mornin' f'r th' loan iA-' me fancy vist.\" After this piteous appeal \"colonel MeXeary\" likewise disappeared, aud when, shortly after, \"Mr. Dooley\" Avas introduced to the public, all personal references to McGarry were eliminated from Mr. Dunne's articles. But the rich dialect of Dooley ii** tho dialect of McGarry, and tho Dooley philosophy is directly in line with the philosophy of McGarry in his palmiest days. There is but one instance on record of McGarry's failing to find words to express his feelings. At one time Jack .Shay was sitting Avith him in the bar-room, when n big and remarkably \" tough \" looking fellow entered, lie was dressed in abhio flannel shirt, and ho sAvag- harge comfortable bodrooms and first-clans dJbi-ig-rooin.

JACOB DOVER, Jeweler, Nelson An Italian lumberman aa'.is found helplessly drunk on Josephine street on Saturday night. When searched at the polite cells, a Avad containing $160 in bills was discovered iu his clothes. Three suspicious characters are in the lockup, the theory being that they know something of the burglaries at Dr. Lai.au's residence and the Prosser aud Old Curiosity secondhand stores. Two of them were released from the provincial jail only a month ago. The third was found to have on his person a Avatch, several razors and some trinkets Avhich Prosser is prepared to swear came from his shop. George Webster, avIio resides near the Canada Drug Company's establishment, found four or five pounds of dynamite in sticks kicking around on the street near his place yesterday. He gathered up the explosive and brought it to police headquarters. It is semi-official] y announced that ex-mayor Neelands and his brothers, James and Samuel, .will leave for South Africa in the course of a month or six Aveeks, or as soon as they can dispose of their real and personal property in Nelson. The reason given for this change of location is that South Africa presents a better field for speculation than British Columbia. The mild epidemic of typhoid Avhich has been prevalent of late seems to have come to an end. The last typhoid patient received at the general hospital came in a week ago. It Avas that of a lad avIio lived near Cottonwood creek and used the Avater from this source, to which fact is attributed his illness. Dr. Fagan, of New Westminster, secretary of the provincial board of health, arrived in Nelson on Saturday night and left for the south Sunday morning. He stated that medical men would bo stationed at the more important crossing points in addition to the inspectors already \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD&%%%%%%%%&%&\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD%^%&&%^%%%&fyft%%fy%\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDfy&%%%%% ~r& '-a*. iscount AT A.

Every precaution AA'ill be taken to prevent smallpox cases entering British Columbia, the pro-- a. incial government acting as if they believed that an ounce of prevention would be better than a pound of cure. Engineer Brown, of the tug Ymir, is suffering from a painfully crushed finger, Avhich Avas caught Avhile cleaning machinery the other day. The Avound Avas.dressed at the general hospital. II. G. Neelands has sold an undivided one-half interest in the lot and building adjoining the Hudson's Bay Company block on the east for $-li-00. The lot has a- frontage of :_0 feet on Baker street, and the building, a two-story frame, is occupied by the Imperial Bank and II. IVI. Vincent, merchant tailor. It is said the purchasers are connected Avith the Gas & Coke Company. The contractors will turn over the land registry office to the provincial government Avithin two Aveeks. How many Aveeks will elapse before it is occupied and used for the purposes for Avhich it AA'as built. As soon as the city authorities give permission, the Canadian Pacific will fence in the Hat to the AA'est of Railway street. There AA'ill be a smoking concert, for the benefit of the Sandon Miners' Union, on Tuesday night, at the Hotel Slocan, Kaslo. SeA'eral fine,wild geese have been seen during the last few days a short distance up the lake. This is regarded as an infallibteindication that the balance of the Avinter season Avill be as open as the months already passed. L. P. Wolfe came doAvn on Saturday from the Fourth of July mine on Coffee creek, bringing with him an unusually fine specimen of steel- galena ore. ,lt is from a continuation of the lead disclosed by aneAv crosscut about 150 feet beloAA' tho present workings, thereby indicating a splendid body of ore. Arthur Ferland returned from the east on Saturda}', Avhere he Avas on a purchasing tiip. He secured the best bargains offering in the Montreal and other eastern markets, and will open a special sale today of his present stock in order to make room for new goods. The company's announcement of thesale appears'in another column, and deserves the attention of eA'eiy careful housekeeper. Eeport Kelly Arrested. Jake Serson came _. down from Ymir last night and reported that Kelly, the man wanted in connection with-the burglary at Dr. La- Bau's residence, had been captured during the day at Ymir. The story was that 'Kelly went into a drug store aud endeavored to have a bullet Avound in his arm dressed. The description of the ' suspect having been Avired ahead, ho Avas recognized and placed under arrest. On the night of the but-glary one of the men left his hat at Dr. LaBau's house. This bore Kelly's name, and as he Avas Avell known to the police a description AA'as readily forwarded to officers at outlying points. He is a tough character, having put in tAA'o terms at the provincial jail here, and being known to the police on the coast as well. His last sentence only terminated a feAV days since. The local police authorities have not been informed- as to the arrest. CW Stoves Stoves We have the finest line of COAI HEATERS ever displayed in the district.

The Nelson company of the Rocky Mountain Rangers paraded under lieutenants Beer and Day, aud marched to the church, headed by the smelter band. The company turned out some 80 strong, and wore their new headgear for the Iirst time. A number of citizens Avitnessed the formation of the parade and followed the militiamen along the line of march on Baker street to Ward, thence to the church by Victoria street. Before the route AA'as taken the company Avas photographed. On entering St. Paul's the members of the company remained standing until the officers took their seats. The church Avas crowded to the doors, and many citizens were compelled to stand throughout the service, despite the extra accommodation afforded by the church officials. v \" The sermon, wliich .was delivered\"*-^ by Rev.: Robert Frew, was most carefully prepared. It was a sermon which is worth publishing, but lack of space prevents its appearance this morning, run sermon During the service Mr. Kydd nnd Mr. Grizzelle rendered solos, and a quartette Avas contributed by Messrs Chadbourn, Caldwell, Parkinson and Leicester.
