I wus awakened, about 2 o'clock on Ki-iduy morning by u loud explosion, which shook the building, and which seemed to come Irom below in the store. I Immediately suspected thut the sule ill tlie oltlce hud been blown open. 1 ut once dressed mysell, und rushed down stairs, und looked through tlie windows Into the store.

Mr. Langln, then found Oonstablo McLean, und together wc entered the store, und found thut the sale hud been blown open, the richt hand door wus partially blown from its blnnes, und tlie lower front ol the door from the base. The bundle wus blown fifteen feet uwuy striking und indenting tlie wull, tbe combination wus torn Irom its socket, und the walls spotted with soup which was used to nil the crevice around the door.

Dear Sir:-- Will you kindly allow us to draw attention through the medium of your columns to the tact that we are endeavoring to Inaugurate a Hoy's Brigade for the lads of (■ranbrook, and invite all boys between the iikch of ten and seventeen to join. The object of the Brigade is "The advancement of Christ's King doni among hoys, and the promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline-, Self-respect, and all that tends towards a true Christian Man- Uness." We need hardly say that this is purely an undenominational aftair, and we ask all the pastors of the city churches to assist us as they may be able. The Brigade Headquarters is in Glasgow, and was started in lttHIt, and has since spread to all parts of the world. ,Thc lists of distinguished patrons includes H.ll.H.The Prince of Wales and the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Hon. President being tbe Karl of Aberdeen. We purpose to work along the lines laid down by the Brigade Manual which includes drilling and gymnasium work centrally, and feel confident tbat the high aims of this 'movement will practically guarantee the sympathy of all who have the ihest interests of the lads at heart. The drills will be held every Mon day night at 7.30 prompt, and after six weeks, those who are found suitable will be enrolled and fitted with cap, regulation belts and haversacks. We invite the interest of parents in this movement which will mean n great deal to the boys if taken up with the earnestness that it deserves, Those who attend the drills will be allowed to spend part, of tbe time in Gymnasium work and will be instructed free. On enroll ,mont, a fee of 25 cents will be made, and the small sum of ton cents per month afterwards for tho necessary expenses of the Brigade. There will he nothing to pay until the boys are actually enrolled after six drills. i We are, Dear Sir, Yours .faithfully, Hubert Hughes. • 0, 0. Main. Craubrook, September 8th.

The Accuser Accused o* —■— Smith Curtis takes money from the Crow's Nest Coal Co. for Election Expenses in 1903 O — Joe Martin proves it The World ol Oetober 1st, luoa, stales the following with this head ing. SfcasSATlUNALj uu large type j was ihe encounter between Joseph Martin and 8 Hit til Curtis on Labor platform. SCOUNDREL ,. COWARD ... were two of tin terms applied to oacU other by men who once were friends, torrent of burning oratory Interrup ted. There have been many political meeiinuH in the City of Vancouver during thu past ten days, Imu none of Liiem have provided mole sensational incidents than the meeting held in the City Hall last night un der the auspices of the Labor party. Of course tne throng winch crowded tlie Hall from curtain to curb did not come there to hear the Labor candidate but to hear the much advertised charges of Smith Curtis against Joseph Martin. From the very rtrst It was clear that the crowd was prejudiced against Mr. Martin in favor of Smith Curtis. Even before the latter got up tn speak there were frequent calls for him ami when he hiially took the centre of the stage, it was amid thunders of applause. Rut such Is the fickleness of the public and the flimsiness of Mr. Curtis' charges, that although he arose amid cheers he sat down amid hoots and jeers of scorn. Even alter i Mr. Curtis' talk there was evidently a large section of the audience which was prejudiced against Mr. Martin when he arose from many parts of the hall he was interrupted and there were catcalls, and rags of alleged humor, but these only seemed to give Mr. Martin a better footing, and make him more determined than ever to get a hearing. It has been said on probably a million occasions that Joe Martin is a good man in the opposition, what should be said is, that when he has opposition Joseph Martin shows his strength. He certainly rose to unexpected heights last night, the manner iu (which he went before a hostile au* dience, captured it, turned it against the enemy, and routed him completely, was a surprise to many who did not know the man. But after all [the main fact was that Mr. Martin had right on his side, Mr. Curtis' statements and charges were so silly land flimsy that most of them bore j their own denial even when they were being uttered.

CONDUCTS INVESTIGAI0N Victoria, Sept. 10.--Rear admiral ' O. E. KingBmall, recently appointed 'to command the fleet of the marine 'lisheries department of Canada, arrived here tonight to inspect tlie I naval yard and tbe defences of Es- quimult to report to the Dominion 1 government concerning them In view (of au effort to tie made to have the imperial government give over the naval yard at Esquiruatt to the Dominion of Canada for use as head quarters of the marine and fisheries department fleet on the Pacific coast of Canada. He will also look over the fishing grounds of the B. 0. coast and Investigate what is necessary to more adequately protect them and will ex amine the steamers and equipment, light. liotiBM and aids to navigation and other works within the purview jof the marine and fisheries depart ment, making cruises on the Kestrel, Quadra and other vessels. The most telling blow that Mr. Joseph Martin delivered was when he accused Smith Curtis of having returned from Ontario with a propo sition to accept money from Robert Jaffray for campaign fund expenses and then when Mr. Martin went further and blankly accused Smith Curtis of having accepted money from J. B. McArthur as agent for Jaffray Cox and Co., the silence of death reigned over tlie great au dience for a moment, the people seemed to be searching themselves to see what this meant this man who had come here to accuse Martin being placed iu the position of the accused, and unable to oiler any denial except to simply say, It is absolutely false. This statement was so damaging that the friends of Mr. Curtis asked him to send a wire to Robert Jaffray. Mr. Curtis went so far as to write out a telegram stating that Mr. Martin in a public meeting had accused him of accept ing money Irom tho Crow's Nest Coal Co., ami that he (Curtis) wanted a denial. Mr. Curtis wrote this telegram in the Commercial Hotel j and at the solicitation of his friends I started for the telegraph otlice with it, but his heart failed him at the last moment and he never sent it.

Announcement was made today that the Grand Trunk Pacific has purchased one of the best sections of Victoria's waterfront at a cost of $150,000. It is situated in an Important position and, extending 400 feet, is so located as to lend itself to a lorn'.' area of wharfage. It. is now supposed that the Grand Trunk Pacific intends to make Victoria a terminus, probably reaching hero as soon as Prince Albert. W. Templeman of the Canadian government, who reached home last night, when referring to the subsidy given to Vancouver island, said this would enable the road to make Victoria practically the terminus of the line.

CAMPAIGN opens at Cranbrook A. S.Goodeve Addresses Large Audience of Conservatives at Edison Theatre I'lu- CoiisurvtUivo I'uiiv Tho I'Yii'iul ul LliG I.;iIiiji mu Mum The campaign, in Cranbrook was opened on Friday evening last by A. S. Qoodeve, Conservative candidate for Kootenay The meeting' was held In the Ed son Theatre There were a lurgl number of the rank and ule ol tho Conservative party present Mr, V. A Rollins, president ol the Young Men's Conservative Association was chairman. Mr. Rollins, upon taking the chair .stated the object of calling the meeting at this time, and in a short speech introduced Mr A. S. Qoodeve the Conservative candidal.- for tho Kootenays For over two hours Mr, Goodeve held the attention nf his audience His explanation of the labor troubles in Rosslnud in 1900 was listened to with interest, and the record of the Laurier administration, with its history of graft and corruption was read direct from the reporl of the Royal Commission who investigated these mutters. Mr. Qoodeve, at once went Into a personal mutter, whicli was reported to have occurred when he was Mayor of Rossland. It was to the effect that he called out the militia to Ideal with labor troubles while act ing as Mayor of Rossland. He silted that Magistrate John Boultrce, a Liberal, au appointee of Joseph Martin, appointed special constables to watch the mines It was this magistrate backed up by Premier Martin, who was attorney general at the time, who caused these specials to he sworn in. That when the Pro vincial elections came on, and Smith Curtis was a candidate, ami owing to this feeling Martin ami Curtis I tried to convey the impression that | Rossland was in a state of riot, [which was absolutely false as far as the strike was concerned, ami this occurred six weeks after he had ceased to he Mayor of Rossland The strongest repudiation ot these Insinuations aud charges, lay in tin- fact that Mr. P R. Maedonald, the j present Labor Mayor of Rossland. land at the time or the strike was [identified with thi Miners' Union, was now un ardent worker for him against Smith Curtis in Rosslnud, Continuing Mr. Qoodeve made a telling arraignment against the pres ■■nt administration, asking his healers if there was one who could point out a single act of the Liberal party 'in Ottawa, that was in the interest Of labor or the working man. Take the Natal Act, said Mr. Qoodeve, ,tive times the Provincial government had passed this act, and live times the Liberal administration ai Ottawa had disallowed it. The Conser- jvatives refused assent to the Japanese treaty, and it was shown how ithe Liberals had allowed Japanese and Chinese to Mood the province. That Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in a speech given in the Commons, referring to I the action of British Columbians on the exclusion of Asiatic's, said. "1 tell them, you are wrong." How Mr. Leinieiix declared that lie was "not for a white British Columbia'" and Sydney Fisher, another minister of Sir Wilfrid's has declared that a tew hundred thousand Japanese were no menace to British Columbia or to Canada. Mr. Goodeve closed with a strong appeal for support in the coming election, on the Japanese and Chinese records, of the present Ottawa goverment whose cause is being championed hy Smith Curtis, also on their record of graft and corruption, on their oft repeated and present hostility to the interosta of the Inboring man. Mr. J. A. Harvey, K C, briefly addressed the meeting, and said it gave him, and he was sine the au idience, great pleasure to welcome Mr. j Goodeve the standard bearer of the great Conservative party, and to hear his uhle and most unquestionable denial of the campaign lie that hud heen circulated about him It ,wus rightly called a campaign lie. He could describe it in more forcible words, and they knew whal words he meant. That the party would sup port Mr. Goodeve with all their powers, and now had the means of .answering effectually the only point tlmt had t n suggested against him. i The chairman, Mr, Rollins then called tor a hearty vote of thanks to Mr Qoodeve, who hy his remarks had demonstrated how wise was the selection the delegates had made at the Convention in Nelson He was a mini that they could win with, and would win with. He had the eloquence nf a grent loader, and he was sure the people of the Cranbrook riding would prove by their votes on the day of election that they relied on him as their leader, and that they would return him to as ist Mr. Borden in his good work at Ottawa.

This part of the Con servative policy was so well received in the country and maintained so bI rongly in Parliament, that the Government wns constrained to in- troducc ii Civil Service Bill, which professes to adopt the principle. As a matter of fact, it toes but a short way. applying only to appointments in the regular civil service at Ottawa. So far as it goes, tbe Act is one point trained by the Conservative party, which did all that was possible to Improve tlie measure and make it effective.

'I'ln- demand for improved postal facilities and free rural mail delivery wherever that may be found practicable, has been supported in Parliament by strong resolutions and good argument. The latter proposition condemned and restated in Parliament by Postmaster General Lcm- eux, but only last week that minister at a public meeting in Quebec fell into line by promising free rural delivery in the future. It does not need to be said that the Conservatives stand by their tariff policy, and by their mutlal preferential trade platform. The party has proclaimed in the Kast as well as the West, the doe- trine that the public lands of Alberta and Saskatchewan should be restored to those provinces on fair terms. The provincial rights plank, which is the last in Mr. Borden's platform, was- made a direct issue in more than one sharp Parliamentary contest. A GOOD PLATFORM. Tt can be said after a test of a year, and of a severe fighting session, Mr, Borden's platform has vindicated itself and that it represents today the desires and the hopes of tbe Conservative party, and a maj- rity of the Canadian people. When Mr. Borden presented this plntlorm at Halifax, lie was dial lenged to advocate it in other parts tf the country.
