"The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune."@en . ""@en . "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xtribune/items/1.0187958/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

Till- electors of Winnipeg registered another protest against Clifford Sifton yesterday, when E. D. Martin Avas returned for the capital of the prairie province. Martin ran as an independent Liberal, the independent qualification being inserted for the purpose of enabling him to have a free hand to attack Clifford Sif ton. Since Sif ton is a ;in'ember of the Laurier cabinet, the return of Martin, can hardly be taken as flattering to the minister of the interior. R. TV. Jameson, Avho carried Winnipeg as a straight Liberal at the general elections, had a majority running into four figures. It would occur to most politicians that Avhen a cabinet minister is so unpopular ab to lo=_e the .... government a seat like Winnipeg, the unpopular minister had better be dropped. The result in Winnipeg but emphasizes the turning down Avhich Sifton received in the provincial elections around Brandon. Tiik Victoria Colonist comes out openly Avith the confession that it 'made a mistake in advocating the .'^-.exclusion of aliens from the Atlin district, it adds that it is Avilling to learn from cxpeiience.' This is hopeful. What the Colonist requires to learn is that Victoria is not the province of British Columbia. The Colonist advocated the exclusion of aliens simply as a .means of securing the trade of the Atlin district for the merchants of Victoria. Tho bulk of the miners Avho took part in the rush lo Atlih were Americans. The experience of the Klondike demonstrated that ~ American miners preferred to out- lit at the Sound cities rather than at Victoria or Vancouver. The -Colonist in order to seen re trade for the merchants of Victoiia started a campaign Avhich meant the sacrificing of the interests of the Atlin district to those of Victoria. The Colonist clamored for the exclusion of all' aliens from Atlin, and the majority of the Turner repiosentatives from .Victoria supported .the movement. The Semlin. goA'ernment foolishly fell'in to line and the aliens Avere _ excluded. The result .was stagnation of development at Atlin. Ihe trade of the \"district, instead of going to Victoria, Avtib killed, it was short-sighted legislation on the part of the government, but it docs not come vory-Avell from-tho Colonisty- which advocated it, and tho members of tho legislature who voted for it, to denounce the government for carrying out Avjiat they ( heni- Belvt'3 considered a vas* the bo->L policy at the time, INTERESTING WAR PARAGBAPS- riders in the present war is Mr. W.

The Last Slave Transaction. LaAvyer Joseph 31. Dickson of Dallas, and lawyer Henry M. McDonald of Paris, Texas, closed up a peculiar legal transaction at Dallas, Texas, this month. A client of Mr. McDonald held a note for seven .hundred and fifty dollars against a client o?Sft\". Dickson. Mr. McDonald came to Dallas 'and\" gave'the note to Mr. Dickson for seven hundred and fifty dollars. The note Avas given in 1800, to secure payment for a negro slave sold to the maker of the note. The war between the states interrupted the settlement'of the business affairs connected AA'ith the sale of the slave.

In the message the gOA*ernor says: \"Neither New York city nor New York state can afford to rest supine Avhile their eager business rivals strain every nerve to take away the commerce which has been so large a part of their life blood. NeAV York is the only state through which, because of its topography, it is possible to transport freight by water from the great basin of the Mississippi to the Atlantic. Tho Dominion of: Canada on tho north, has similar advantages, and how well the Canadians have availed themselves of them, the final opening of their great canal system last fall, conclusively proves. If avc do not improve our own canals, Ave shall have nothing Avherewith to meet the advantages conferred on Canadian commerce by her canals on the north, Avhile Ave deprive our- seh'es of a great aid in the struggle AA'ith our business rivals in our own country, leaving ourselves at the mercy of a combination made by railways. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD for the benefit of our localities.\" The governor strongly, recommended the plan proposed by the committoo for a larger canal, capable of carrying boats of a thousand tons capacity, to build which would involve an expenditure of $00,000,- 000, and says there is every reason, after the most patient investigation, to believe that the large canal Avill result in a transportation cost across the state of Ncav York as low as that on the St. LaAvrence canal, and far less than any rate that is possible by railways at any time within the. immediate future, if ' over; the ''difference in favor of the canals over the railways being more than threefold, that is, the freight rate on the canals being less than a third of that by railway. .fe <\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD T\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD~a to to to k 3<5 BAKER STREET \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD^*S*fi>s**.

This century has nothing more romantic and more wonderful to show than the contract between the Kimberley of today and the site, less than thirty years ago, ou which was destined to spring up the richest city, of its size, in the whole world, built from the un- /-uspeeted treasures which had been 'lying for centuries under its surface. Within the memory of oven young men today there was nothing where Kimborly now stand-, but a vast unbroken expanse of bare veldt, which wtis rarely seen except by some stray trader or hunter. One hot midsummer day in 1S71 a young man called 1 tawstorne had started, gun in hand, from the DeBeers mine, where lie was spending a short holiday with a friend, and wandered many miles in search of the game he could not (hid. At la-^t, weary and overcome by the heat, he throw himself down to rest -oh \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtte-JveI(i^\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD:Bt-4)6giM4.-4a__pl;iy. idly with the sand at his bide. While ho was digging abstractedly with his hand lie turned over a pebble, wliich he took up and examined carelessly. This, pebble, as even his untrained eye could not fail to detect, was a diamond, and that diamond was the foundation stone on which Kimberley and all its ' wealth *.\as built, . But Kimberley was a laggard in tho race for the diamond wealth of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD South Africa. Four years earlier a shrewd trader had discovered the iirst diamond in one of the marbles \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDSvith wliich the children of his Boer '.host, Van Nierkerk, wore playing, all unconscious of. its value: and a little'later the children of Van Wyk, a 3Joer farmer of Dutoitspan, were seen picking up diamonds from tho mud with which the farmhouse was plastered. The children of these two Boer, farmers were thus the discoverers of the hidden millions of South Africa\"; and it was their keen eyes for the \"bright pebbles\" which quickly' Hooded tho bank*, of the Vaal ancl the Dutoitspan district with thousands of diggers before Kunbcrley was oven a dream of the future. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD l diamonds valued at \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD(.0,000.000 have been taken from these mines, and countless millions remain unfound. The stories of two of tho large diamonds taken from the Kimberley mines areas full of romance as --nythingriirtirehistoi'y of weal tli. Five years ago a Kaffir employed at one of the mines was loading a cart with blue clay, when lie discovered the famous Jagersfontein diamond, the largest diamond known to the-world, lb was \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\". inches long, 1A inches thick and 2} inches wide, and weighed 071:/ carats, or more than 7 ounces avoir- \" dupois. It i.s blue-white in color, and almost (lawless; while its value is estimated at <\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD 100,000, or over \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD57,000 an ounce. The largest and most beautiful of the diamonds in the countess of Dudley's .-jewel casket-was, in fact, the very first of all the diamonds discovered in tho Kimberley dis-> trict. It was for many years in the possession of a Hottentot, who used it as a charm for diseases, bub who was quite ignoi-ant of its money value. After a long search the Hottentot was discovered, and induced to part with his talisman in exchange for Van Nierkirk's horses and cattle, and its lucky purchaser promptly sold ib for \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD11,200. A little later this magnificent stone, which was known as the \"Star of South Africa,\" was bought for the countess of Dudley for \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD25,000. These diamond mines were iirst worked by hundreds of independent digger*., each of whom had a claim little larger than a good-sized drawing-room, and none exceeding 31 feet square. Many of these tiny plots of land, which were originally worked at a cost of ten shillings a month, quickly yielded thousands of pounds' worth of diamonds, and it was no ttiieommon thing fox* a claim no larger than a small sitting- room to change hands for \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD10,000 Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. S., Atlin, B. C, and Dawson City, N. W. T. or \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD1.5,000- Tlie time, however, quickly came when the individual miner, with his spade and pickaxe, could no longer work the claims, which were bought up by companies, and in turn these companies gave place to the De Beers amalgamation, Avh_-.li, Avith an original capital of nearly \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD1,000,- 000, now practically controls the South African diamond mines, and pays dividends at the rate of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD2,000,000 a year.. G Nothing is perhaps more surprising in connection with this wealthy industry than the smallucss of the mines wliich yield so many millions and the insignificance of the output of diamonds when reduced to si/.e and weight. The site of the De Beers mine (as of the Kimberley mine) is no bigger than that of a large London square, but its shafts run down to a depth of considerably more than a quarter of a mile. All the diamonds produced by all the mines of South Africa during nearly thirty years could be put in a single wagon, which six strong horses could draw; while the yearly output, which averages about half a ton, could bo packed away in a trunk which four powerful men could carry. HORRORS OF SHRAPNEL. scored, each hit in all probability representing a man's .-life;-a second shell made 180 hits; and from a third shell no fewer than 220 out of its 250 bullets found billets on the screen. Thus a single shrapnel well aimed is capable of doing terrible execution on an enemj'-; but their de- structiveness only becomes apparent when we consider the rapidity with which they can be-fired. Let us take, for illustration, a single battery of half-a-dozen guns, and see what havoc it might conceivably do within such a short limit of time as a quarter of an hour. Each gun is capable of firing a shell every five seconds, or twelve shclls-a minute; and as each shell has on an* average 230 bullets, a single gun can deluge the enemy with 3000 bullets a minute, or 45,000 bullets in a quarter of an hour. The effect on an enemy of, say, six batteries showering on them a hail of over 100,000 bullets a minute may well be conceived; and it is little wonder that the Dervish hordes at Omdnrman fell before such a tornado of destruction like grass before the scythe of a mower. A shrapnel' shell weighs only about 14 pounds, and of this weight ils burden of bullets is nearly half. It has an effective range of two miles, and an average speed of flight of 1200 feet to 1300 feet a second. Swiftly as it flies and short as its journev is. the second shell is following from the same gun on the track of the first before the latter has travelled much more than half of its journey. CHAIRS (?) Well, rather.. We received an entire car, (1300) of chairs last Tuesday, containing fancy diners (in suits or otherwise), fancy rockers in cobbler seat or wood, cheaper dining chairs finished in golden oak and cheaper ones still suitable for either dining room or kitchen.

GRAVE AND GAY STORYETTES. 11 seems more than a little strange that, in spite of all the boasted im- .nrov.J_quc4itsJ._o\_cajK.i_s ofjwar, the. deadliest of all instruments of death in use today was as familiar to our grandfathers and greatgrandfathers in the earliest years of the century as to us. Machine guns, such as the -Maxim and Catling, each pouring forth a very deluge of bullets at the rate of several hundred a minute, and mowing clown the enemy's ranks as a scythe mows down grass, are very terrible weapons; but for sheer des- tructiveness and the power to demoralize the enemy they must yield precedence to the shrapnel shells, within whoso \"operative area\" nothing can live. These deadly projectiles were invented, two years before Trafalgar, by a colonel Shl'apnel, a British oflieer ; but, as in the case with so many inventions', the original shrapnel shell was of very primitive construction. It consisted of a spherical shell, filled with bullets and a bursth.g charge of gunpowder ; but, as it had the trick of exploding at the wrong time, and was only reliable in its uncertainty, it was often a source of as much danger to friends as to enemies. It is, however, from this eriido projectile that the wonderful shell of today has been evolved. The modern shrapnel shell consists of three parts: the base, the head, and the tube which runs through its body. The explosive charge is placed in the base of the shell: aud ou a kind of diaphragm placed over this charge two or three hundred bullets rest, being kept in position by rcsiu, which is melted and poured \"oveirthoni.\" ~ ~ Running from the, base to the point of the shell is a tube, filled with powder to connect the explosive charge iu the base with the fuse'which is placed in tho head of the,shell. < Before firing the shell the distance of the enemy is calculated and the fuse is'cut down to such a length that tho-sholl will, explode'at the precise fraction of a second when it can inflict most damage. In other words, the fuse must be of such a length that the charge Avill be ex- plodedwhen bheshell is about 20 feet above and 150 feet in front of the enemy. The fuse is ignited by the act of firing; and as the shell screams through the' air at the rate 800 to* 1000 miles au hour, it burns rapidly uutil, just as it is on the point of striking the enemy bodily, the charge at the base of the shell is ignited, and with a terrific explosion the shell is scattered, pouring down its deadly hail of a quarter of a thousand bullets over an area of about 500 square feet. The bullets are so evenly distributed from this terrible \"spray diil'user\" that, if 250 men were massed, within this area, every man would either be killed or dangerously wounded. fn some recent experiments with shrapnel, shells were fired at a range of a mile and a half at a wooden target one Inch thick. Fifty yards behind this target screens were placed to represent a battalion of infantry in columns of companies. The shells were exploded on contact with the target, and the number of hits on the screen were counted. From one shell 160 hits At a dinner in Rottingdean lately, a Royal Academician stated to the company the curious-faefe-that\" sugar- and suraaejire the only two ...vY-OrdaJii-EngTfsh where su is pronounced as sh'u.

A member of one of the great London political clubs once lost his umbrella, and put up a notice in the hall requesting \"the nobleman\" who had taken it to return it when he had done with it. The committee, in due course, desired to be inforin- e\"d why he has ascribed its possession to a peer. The member blandly referred them to the .rule, wliich said that the club was composed of \"noblemen and gentlemen,\" and added that no gentlemen would haAre taken his umbrella. A Russian once told archbishop Benson that he saw in a police court in Russia a priest brought in, in undress of purple, and the court, magistrates, and all, knelt and a police sergeant kissed his hand. Then, rising, the magistrate _>aid: \"You nasty, drunken beast, so you \vero__dr__nk again ye.iterday. I'll make you remember ic this time.\" The priest was led out to an adjoin- ing yard, his clothes torn. off, and fifty lashes given him; when he was brought back half-fainting all Iviielt down and received his blessing. Cushman of Washington, is put down in tho congressional directory as a congressman-at-large, his state being without definite congressional districts. This reminds him of a story, which is quoted in the Washington. Post. He was once approaching a town, where lie was billed to make a speech, and stopped tit a house on the outskirts to get a drink of water. lie met tho farmer's wife at the well, \"What is the political sentiment around here?\" asked. Cushman. \"I dunno,\" said WHOLESALE Butter, Eggs, Cheese, Green Fruits, Cured Meats, Vegetables the woman ; \"I don't go to political meetings. They say there is a congressman at large, and I think the safest thing for me to do is to stay at home.\" Dr. Westcott, once traveling from Peterborough to Loudon, sat in the carriage with a comfortable Yorkshire clergyman, with a'long -ripper lip and- \"aTself-satisfied'expression,' \".vho bought a bottle of strawberries- and ate them with great enjoyment and comfort. Then he wiped his- fingers and threw the basket out of the window with great deliberation. A passenger from the corner said: \"A dangerous thing, sir, that is.\" After a moment's genial reflection the clergyman, looking round, said with a sweet smile: \"We live, sir, in a world of risks !\" Lady Randolph Churchill has inherited the wit of her father, \"Uncle Larry\" Jerome, as she demonstrated upon one occasion to an eminent British politician. He was somewhat annoyed at the campaign she had made, and said: \"I really don't understand, madam, why or Jiow it is that American ladies refuse to enter political life in their own country,, but overwhelm us here \"in .England.\" \"That .is because you have uever traveled in the States. The men there are so intelligent and patriotic that they do not require the services of our sex as an educating force.\" An liluglishman went into the Chatham hotel, in Paris, recently, and cautiously asked* the price of whisky. \"One franc, sir, replied the bar-tender. \"And a whisky and soda?\" \"One franc, sir. All drinks are the same price.\" The Englishman sat down and, to his astonishment, found that the place was run on American lines, and that the customers helped themselves at their own discretion. He punished .that bottle of whisky till it was nearly empty. As lie wont out he paid down his franc, but the manager called him back and said: \"You have forgotten your change.\" \"I thought that the drink was a franc.\" \"That is so, sir,\" was the reply; \"that is the retail price, but there is a reduction when you buy wholesale.\" And he handed back five sous. In describing Rudyard |Kipling's recent effort at speech-making, the London Academy-says: - \"When he showed\" iiis face iu the school-room \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDit was crowded\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhis Rottingdean neighbors cheered\"ili.n mightily, and he blushed like a great\" kid. When he got up on the platform to speak he was as white as a ghost. He had evidently learned his little speech by heart, and spun it out at a terrific rate. Of course, that was nervousness. It struck me that he felt if he were to hesitate he would be lost. The Big Englanders will never get Kipling as a platform spouter. He'd collapse at the end of his third meeting.\" .Mahmoud Pacha, the brother-in- law of the sultan of Turkey, avIio recently fled from Constantinople to escape persecution on account of his political principles, and is now in Paris, said the other day: \"I.am going to England to write all that I have at heart. 1 wish to try Lo liberate my country from a tyranny that is leading it to ruin. I hope Charles Lever, the Irish novelist, in the days when ho was British consul at Trieste, accompanied his daughter to London for a little social enjoyment, and neglected to go through the formality of asking for. a leave of absence. On his arrival in London he was invited to dinner by lord Lytton. When ho arrived at lord Lytton's house, his host said: .\"I'm so glad you could come! You will meet your chief, I Clarendon\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe minister of foreign affairs., The novelist, much embarrassed, began to give reasons why he must tear himself away, but before he could make his escape, lord Clarendon was announced, and almost at once espied him. \"Ah, Mr. Lever,\" he said, blandly, \"I didn't know you were in England; in fact I was not even aware that you had asked for leave from Trieste.\" \"No-o, my lord,\" stammered the novelist; disconcerted for a second, but no more than that; \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'no. my lord ; I thought it would be more respectful to your lordship for me to come and ask for it in person. Big Pees for Executors. For their services as executors of the estate of George 1M. Pullman, Robert T. Lincoln and Norman B. Ream will receive four hundred and twenty-live thousand dollars, one of the largest fees ever awarded in the United States. The formal order permitting them to take this sum from the assets of the estate now in their hands was entered by judge'Batten of the probate court of Chicago, a fortnight ago, all the persons interested in the property having given their consent. It is said that the award will be divided equally between the executors, although Mr. Lincoln has probably devoted more time to the handling of the vast estate than has Mr. .Ream. Mr. Lincoln is president of the Pullman's Palace Car Company, and was chiefly instrumental in bringing about the consolidation with the AVagner Palace Car Company. Ever since Mr. Pullman's death he has devoted the greater portion of his time to the administration of the affairs of the estate, which proved difficult to handle owing to the many interests involved.
