Mr. Nowland ha*l boou tukon to Vancouver only a lew clays before by bis devoted wifo iu hopes that a change of air might prolong his life, or at least render him more oom.ortablo for his fow remaining days, but a sudden change for tho worse ooourod on Monday nnd bodied that night. The certified cause of bis death was from col lapse caused by ashttua, -lames Nowland was born iu Cumber land County, Indiana, Oct. 21st, 1832, utul was therefore 00yoars of age. Ho wasone of a fuuiily of oight children, ono sister and six brothers, only threo of whom survive und aro residents of (ho slates. Ilo crossed Lho plains to Oregon lu early days and iu 1858 came Lo British Columbia and has ever since resided in this province. Although u good oitlzon of the proviuco Mr. Nowland hns never failed during his long life hero iu firing a national aaluto of III gUUS and ceremoniously hoisted tho American Hug with the British ensign alougsido ovory fourth of July. Mr. Ncwlaud leaves surviving him a wifo undone daughter, a young ludy of IS. Ho waa buried in lhe village oomctory aL Ashcroft from Lho Presbyterian ohuroh on Wednesday afternoon, Lhe LilloooL Piouoor society, of which Mr. N'owiaud was u charter member, boiug in attendance, and as is Lbeir invariable custom, looking after tho burial of ouo of thoir honored members. Tho sympathy of tbo community is with the bereaved widow and daughter. Mr. Newland's familiar figure aud his cheerful salutation will long bo missed iu Ashcroft. Agricultural Cimiinisslon. Dredging mi Uic Fraser nml Qitcsncllc, Charles Hatch, of Victoria, wbo is interested financially in the Oleson dredger on QaoBnello rivor, came in to \shoroft on Thursday evening, leaving for Victoria tho next morning. Mr, Hatch bas boon with Lho dredger and working on it siuco i(; was first stalled. Ho states that iu a genoral way it is working successfully but that somo changes will bavo Lo bo made, and (hat tho dredger is uot handling so largo an amount of gravel as was olaimcd for it, but tbat each bucket is ubout two- thirds full. When full each bucket holds about three cubic foot and Lhe uiachiuos deliver 12 per minute or uearly a yard, which would make iu a full duy of 10 hours nearly DOO yards, but that by reason of necessary stops thut amount is now nbovo the average. Ho thinks that across tho river from whoro the dredger now lies thore is ground lliat is far richer. The dredger will soon bo taken ovor. Tko Quosuollo at this point is a swift running stream, and it boing just above the canyon at Donaldson's crossing cure must be exorcised iu crossing. There ia no steam propelling power to this dredger. Mr. Oleson has commenced the building o. a second ouo jusl ubove the present one, which ia a good Indication of tho success of thoMnacbiuo now working. Tho company contomplato putting a dredger on Lho Cottonwood, ou which thoy have secured u lease, Mr. Hatch informs us that the Pittsburg drodgor is now up the Fraser near Lho canyon and had boon successfully moved Lo Lho point desired but work had not yot commenced so far as ho know, Word Teamsters' Contest. To The Editor:— Why can wo not havo something worth looking at iu a teaming way at the Agricultural Exhibition, I heard a fow days ago ono of the teamsters suggesting to a leading member of tho exhibition committee that something be given forahauliug eon Lest. To my surprise this member of Lho committee did uot take any iu terest in tho suggestion and hinted that it could not be. Such suggestions should uot be so easily disposed ot. Ashcroft is the sLarting point for such a largo uumber of teams that a hauling coutest should bo one of the main attractions at our exhibitiou. Let this be put into tho hands of a competent committee and surely wo eau have au exhibit of pulling and ribbon handling t bat will bo most interesting. It need n..i stop at pulling, let sometbiug bo given for tho man that can handle a six horso team thc best, Thoso, Mr. Editor, aro ouly suggestions that a good committeo can easily mako something of. Would it not bo advisable to withhold prizes altogether when tho articles or events are so very far bolow standards that thoy should not be exhibited? Thoro will not bo uny improvement iu our exhibits so loug us prizes aro given for most inferior exhibits, It is not worth whilo for anyone to prepare a good exhibit iu any lino because u very poor exhibit will be given a prize if it is tbe ouly ouo. This not us it should bo. Havo a standard for everything and if au oxhibit docs not como up to that do not givo a prize. M. D, Pine Creek Stampede Continues.

Tho display described below cannot fall in interest if, as is evidently tho purpose of the committee, it ia well done: Realizing tho importance of providing some strong attraction to assist iu entertaining tho thousands of visitors who nro -expectod here during fair woek, tho directors of thc Royal Agricultural & Industrial Society of British Columbia and tbo Citizens' Colo* bratiou Committeo cast ubout for somo means of attaining this laudable end. A number of communications uud proposals wore received from various directions, including a proposition for a groat professional sculliug regatta, and these wero carefully considered by the directors aud lho special features committee of the Citizens' Celebration Committee. After mature deliberation und u careful canvass of the respective merits of the soveral specialties, tho preferenco wus given to Lho oll'er of Messrs.

Tho grout spectacular sceuo, which will bo put ou hero for the first timo, is entitled "The Bombardment of Santia go by Llic American fleot," tmd also showing tho groat hind buttle between Gon, Shaftei's forces and the Spaniards, The following isa synopsis or tho great spectacular drama: Tho Spaniards iu possession of the country iCubu.i Spanish soldiers compelling Cubans to leave thoir homes uiul enter the towus. thus preventing aid bohig given to the insurgents. Tiie soldiers uud their prisoners aro filing into tho fortress to the left. A largo party of recoucentradoos are hard Lo drive'and ihey lag behind.

After the Spaniards aro driven olf, an American newspaper corrospoudout, taking noles of tho proceedings is soon by Gomez, Cubans uro about to handle him roughly, but lie pulls out the stars and stripes, uud then explains his business to thom.

The American oflicer also tolls thom of Lho approaching land forces, aud the flag of free Cuba is unfurled, amid general festivities. Moro American war vessels urrivo olf tho harbor, and, tho Morrimao being detached, is sunk, in Llio onlranco Lo Lho harbor, by Llio guna of Moro Gustlo.

At tho conclusion of "The Bombard ment of Santiago," thoro will bo a mag niflcent display of fireworks, commeno ing with a discharge of detonating rock ets and terminating with a grand it-rial bouquet of rockets and set pieco showing the letters "Good Niaht.'1 Between these two numbers Ihere wil! be some sixty fine separate displays, oxhibiting somo of tho very triumphs of the fireworks maker's art, tho whole being on a scalo nover before witnessed wost of Winnipeg. This magnificent pyro spectacular entertainment, wbolb has beon obtained ut a cost or over 83,000, will be given on four different nights, and will bo well worth seeing, and, no doubt, it will prove bore, us iu the eastern cities, to bo the best "draw" which Lho exhibition directors and Citizens' Committee could havo secured. Santiago Do Cuba, Aug. ■>.- The Casino Espanol, or Spanish Club, iu Santiago, much frequented by tho Spanish officers, hus for some lime boasted a gramapbono, which was u source of joy und delightto tho clubmombcrs before tho capitulation. Strangely enough, through Lhe long nights of tho siege, tho favorite piece of music which thoy were iu the habit of having repeated four or live times an evening was "The Star Spanglod Banner," which greatly pleased their musical souls, although tbey woro entirely ignorant of ils origin or significance. As fate would decree ou Lho morniug or July 17, when Llio American Hug was hoisted over Liio governor's pulaoe, lho regimental band of Lhe Sixth cavalry played with the utmost gusto this self-same air, whoso full moaning then broke upon lho assembled Spanish olllcers with unusual force and with no littlo discomfiture to thoir already rattled feelings. -_i.::li_:in Schools, Tho following is taken from tho ad- dross of His Lordship Bishop Dart to tho Anglican Synod: Tno girls' school at Yalo is steadily rising in public estimation. Parents whoso children have boen educated there speak highly of it. The arrangements and tone of the institution, and the qualify of tho instruction Imparted appear Lo be quito satisfactory. It is to bo hoped that funds will soon permit the enlargement of tho school so that a high class education may bo put within tho reach of a much larger numbsr. The Indian department at Yule slill maintains its character for efficiency, A site for the proposed Industrial school for Indians has boon selected al Lytton by our committoo appointed for Llic purpose.

A short lime ugo at Oowioban, a Japanese laborer, who wus going throiigh'tho woods, leapt off a log and almost on tho back of a hugo panther* His dismay may bo judged from the fact lhata fow minut-aa later he reached a distant farm quite out of breath und just able to convey tho intelligence that "ho nearly lulled me," Thisstar tied the whole farm stuff and soon dogs, guns, proprietor aud employees wero on tho spot. Suro enough there. in natural position, lay Lho Lreuchur- ous beast. Not taking to a tree iui the party boing strong Limy advanced close, closer. He did not stir.

The verdict as soon us suspense gavo placo, was that tho victim hud sufliciently partakonof thostriebniued mutton, so carefully prepared by Ja- lob, after his panlhership had slain Lho unsuspecting sheop. Tho poor Jap was loug iu learning Lho eud of the story, but the disappointed marksmen drew the loyal pauthcrly bouuty. Until Bxlilbltlon, Mr. Godfrey, Manager of the Bank of British North America, recently showed a News-Advertiser representative a Hue collection of gold nuggets and bars trom Lhe Yukon. Cariboo, etc. Six bars of Yukon gold were valued at about 8820 each, threo smaller ones at 8100 each and several uuggets were on exhibit at values varying from $17*) to 320, The muin collection was made up of gold brought down from tho Klondike last woek uud smelted at the bank. Thero wero also specimens from Coolgardio, Australia: Williams Creek. Cariboo; Skookum Gulch, Yukou: aud of copper oro from Vim Andu, Tho exhibit is shown iu a gloss case on tho chief teller's desk.

Tho practical question tbat confronts us is what wo can do to destroy the craving for alcohol and overcome the conditions of tho system that make the caavlng possible? 1 answer that our treatment must be moral and physical us woll as medical. Wheu properly treated, tho craving tor alcohol is destroyed in from throe to live days, mid iu ubout three weeks' time the general vitality of tbe system, in the majority of cases will become normal. Then moral influences must bo brought to bear to prevent tho possibility of a relapse. The work uow beiug performed by the International Brotherhood Lea guo iu behalf of Lho poor who have be- me slaves to alcohol, is producing splendid results, Thoy nol only care for the patients, but furthnr thom medical treatment, und do all iu tlieir power to improve their homes und social londltions, thus adding moral aid to lho medical treatment essential Lo to the building up of their physical ■ondilioii.-Com.

Nor. In Milling natter: Then und Now, Inventive genius is doing for tho mining business what it. bus ilone for other phases of our iudustrlal llfo, It is lifting lhe vocation to a higher level and framing for il. magnificent successes for tho future. In ancient limes surface mining wus alone possible for thoro wero no adequate appliances for doop miuiug. The gold that wns hum inered into a veneering for the Leinple of King Solomon was probably u placer product, thoilghltmustbo confessed that the mines of Ophir havo never boon definitely located by curious man slnco they were lost iu Lhe remorseless shuttle of Lho passing years. I be noxt most voluminous accumulation of gold found by Piznrrowilh tlio luoaof Peru, was also from tho surface, for the ancient Peruvians were no greater adepts at deep mining Ihan Iheir Lrans-Allan tic cousins of tho anolout world. Beforo the days of gunpowder for blasting purposes lho art of working rock was a tedious process th it practically destroyed the profits of mining, even when slave labor was employed, Tho aucieut miner seems never lo imvo discovered lho uso of limo iu blasting, While nerve uloue will not insure lho success of a man in the mining industry it is oue of the chief essentials of success, suys the Butto Western Mining World. The man who lacks it will fail to overtake success iu OH cases in every hundred. In no other vocation is the courage challenged so often, lu no field of effort is thero greater do maud for energy and faith. Thoro is uol a mining dislrict in Lhe wesl thut is destitute ot its heroes whp have bravely stood up ngalnst tho most discour- nglng eireuni.-linio.es ever encountered by man, struggling to overcome conditions that, foreshadow disnpointmeiit and defeat. Oceualoilly there nre conspicuous examples of this type. Molilalia hus held its full quota uud is proud of the record made by the men who huvo had Lho ucrvo Lo sLund by Llieir guns until lhe struggle wilh 1'nto WHS WOU. Utah has a mining hero in tho person of Captain DoLamar, a man of uneou ipu ruble nerve and determination, ln Lho Morour dislrict, ho spont 81,500,000 before realizing ono dollar in return, but as u result stands ready to "pull out'' llmt amount per annum for mnny years It) come. Usually men of DnLti- mar's wealth refuse lo bother Lliem* selves wilh now ventures involviug worry and anxiety and which may swallow up a largo portlou of tbeir wealth without yielding adequate returns, but Utah's nervy investor plunges ahead and wins success by very audacity of bis methods. His Investments mean tin expenditure of 81,000,000 a year among laboring men, und ho thus conserves fhe public interests of the state in which he lives. .Men nf iho DsLa- mar typo uro the horoos of progress, the bonefuclors oftho miniug Industry, the lifo of the eotnmilTlitlca honored by their ofl'orts, There seems lo be no limit, tu tho uses to which aluminum can be put.

How he earuod it is told by him in a letter to hissister in Scotland, giving an account of the buttle of Atbuluru, in tho Soudau. Tiio corporal writes as follows; "Shortly after wo entered Jtho enemy's /.ureba (defences constructed of thorns) a bullet lore oil' tho point of my left boot. My boots woro too large nnd tho foot remained unhurt. Then my bayonet wus hit und bout into a right angle. "After Unit a bullet passed through my sleeve near my wrist. It made two holes in the cloth, but did not hurt me. More important was a bullet which as good us disarmed me, as it knocked t:e butt, of my rifle into splinters, It glanced aside on a screw, elso it would have entered my body. "Theu a nigger jumped np right be fore me and made a lungo at mc with hia spear. He out my knapsack all to pieces, A litllo later u bullet grazed my band, so lhut il bled a little. When I reached Lbe river I received the bul let. which caused me lo be pluoed ou tbo list of the wounded. Its courso was so remarkable that it deserves description, The bullet passed tbrougl the cover of my right hand cartridge box, entered tho coat pocket, whore it destroyed a penknife and two pencils. It Ihen tore four holes iu my shirt, caused a wound threo iuchos long in my chest, pierced lhe sirup of my left bund cartridge box, and tore my coat ovor tho loft shoulder. In tho after noon I weut to tho hospital lo got a littlo attendance.

Ar rungeinonts were completed, a committee was appointed uud a proper reception wi-'fbe givon tho Premier when, as ho is soon expected to do, ho pays a visit to his old home. Por many yoars Mr. Somlin bus represented west Yulo and his constituency has stood by him ou all occasions, and always until now in the front ranks of the minority. Now that ho has beon asked to form a government aud is ocuupyiuK tho most important post iu the province it is not surprising that his supporters for so mauy years should be thoroughly pleased and that they should manifest their pleasure in u proper manner. Charles Poquet, of Quesnelle, who went in with tho road gang from Quesnelle a3 packer, is in town. lie states that tho trail from Quesnelle Lo Hazleton is in Ilrst class shape uow, that on tho return of tho gang from Hazleton every mud holo was corduroyed. A bridgo is now completed over Mud river and a ferry ut Nechuco. Coming back thoy crossed 1,580 horses going north and several hundred wore missed by reason of the road gang beiug on the Maurice town trail, while many men went around by Hoar rivor. At Maurice town ho saw Hamlin Gar- laud and had a long talk with him. Mr, Garland will bo remembered us a writer of note, going in this time us a special correspondent of McCluro's Magazine, Mr. Garland wus tbe writer of "Grant's Memoirs," Mr, Garland told Mr. Pocjuot that ho hud never takoi more interesting trip, er one that moro enjoyed. Tho broad valley of tho Buckley and other agricultural poi tions attracted his especial attention. Ho thinks that the country along tho trail will furnish homes for thousands of agriculturalists, aud stockmen. At Hazloton Mr. Poquet saw Hubert Nesbitt with puck train. Mr. Nesbitt made tho trip from Quesnello through to Hazleton in l~i duys, us did nnother puck train, but most of thom took about 20 days. Many mon are stopping at Naase river, (50 miles beyond Hazleton, whore there is snid to bo a quantity of mining ground that will pay fuir wages, and many expect a strike tliero. Fow horses wore lost ou tho trail in comparison with tho number that started, especially considering tho condition of many of thom at starting, The season was several weoks lato and the rain was excessive, but under tho ciroum- stances good time was made. Ben Beach, who had charge of this section of tho roud is now either at Mud river or on his wuy to Quesnelle with his party. important Real Estate Deal, One of the most important real estate deals that has beon mndo in Ashcroft occurred when Henry Curgile purchased I'rom G.

All interesting mutch without gloves took place in towu the other day betweeu ' a local Corbett aud a Kid McCoy. From ouo of the eyewitnesses we aro able to describe tho affair whioh took placo whoro thore was plenty of light und plenty of room. The con* ttst opened by u demand for tho key to the bathroom aud tho other follow suid he was nnother. Corbett let out with his right und tho blow was beautifully countered by the jaw of the Kid. Tlio Kid returned tho blow with interest uud invited his opponent to come up to the scratch. A struggle for position thon ensued, both mou wanting tho samo corner, Aftor breaking away at tho command of the referee it was seen thut some damage was dono to Corbett's face by tho long linger nails of tho Kid. Agniu the combatants came together uud ugain tho warning voico of tho referee was heard, "go in boys but don't scratch." About tho time for the boll to sound the Kid backed for a bettor position, which ho secured and made a running jump for Corbett. Corbett countered on the Kid's check but injured his lighting hand. Meantime tho Kid was making the mail of Manila ou his opponent's face. At this point the referee forced tho opponents apart and the Kid took refuge in tho back yard, while Corbett proudly dressed liis wounds uud is now looking for more worlds to conquer. The Kid has quito a reputation ns a lighter and if.his bump of discretion woro not so well developed, lb causing him to invariably ruu boforo tho light is ended, lie might bo among thc heavy woights of Boiler uvcuUe.
