It is probable that his remains will not be found till the wiirmth of spring melts tho mountain snows. Later in the day. however, a terrible tragedy was enacted nt Rogers Pass station. Pew.railroad men have been better known or more highly iisteemed by their fellows and by tho public than "Billy" Cator, station agent and operator at the Pass. Cator has been stationed there lot-some years and was a married man with two children, the favorites of the workmen about tbo station. Mr. nnd Mrs. Cator conducted a bom-ding heusu for tlio convenience of the railroad employes. In their employ wero a Chinaman, anda' young woman named Aunie Bergor, lister of .Mrs. Fred Anderson. The weather had been stormy nml windy, hut in the worst of storms it was b'u- liovod that the site of the station was free from snow-slides, and no danger lias baa.u known therein iho blstery of labs railway extending uoav ovei* some U years. Tiie mountain en the south sirle of the truck' is steep and bare, while that to lhn north lies at a low gradual slope, and is the las: place from whioh a snowslide might be expected, -f.fc nt about half-past throe in the afternoon a torn bio avalanche, evidently started far back ou the mountains as the result of the stormy weather, Swept noiselessly down the slope opposite the station. Mr, Cater in the station agent's office talk- wiih an Italian, who was one of apparently been engaged in cookinc or some either work about the stove, for h.r remains were foutid by the pieces of the stove and the body and clothing were badly burned. Tho bo-lies of Cator and tbe Chinese servant havo still lo lie recovered. Tha mother of MissBsrger arrived at Oolden yesterday from Illecillewaet. The remains of Mrs. Cator ami the two children willbe taken for Interment to Bowmanville. Ont. where tlio outs of the late Mrs. Cator reside. Much sympathy is felt at Donald for Mr. and Mrs. Corsan, whoso sou was tho telegraph operator nt the Pass, nud was amongst the killed. The reiuuius of Itigley will be sent to Kamloops for Interment.

Thn fact that it contained sawdust led to its close examination, and the discovery that tho original contents had been removed. Many of lhe North American Inalian. were magnificent specimens of physical manhood. This was due, largely, to their active out-door life. Nevertheless, they bail the wisdom tn know thnt an active life in the open air alone, would not keep a man healthy. They had their medicinemen, who gathered herbs from field and forest anal brewed decoctions 10 aHsist the natural processes of the various vital organs. Modem civilized men do not ns a usual thing recognize the same necessity until it is too late. They ignore medicine until they are within the grasp of some serious or nital disease. The time for a man tb lie- gin taking medicine is when he begins to reel out of sort*'. If n man is thoroughly well anal healthy lit- does not feel that way.

Montreal, Jan. 24.���-The Snn Life Assurance Co. of Canada, with headquarters in this city, has foreclosed upon the property of tho Cornwall street railway, and as a consequence there is somo consternation among Montreal shareholders, who happen still to he loaded with this stock. An important judgment was handed down at Cornwall on Saturday by Chief Justice Ar- inonr, in the matter of the action of the foreclosure brought by J. T. Kirk- putrick, and D. B. McLennan, Q.C., of Cornwall, trustees for tho bondholders, the Sun Life Assurance Co. against the Cornwall Electric Street Railway Co., Ltd. The company has been in financial difficulties for some time, and were forced to sue for the whole amount of the bonds, $100,000, and overdue interest. The result is a judgment for the bondholders, Chief Justice Armour at the same time giving an order for the nsnal decree of foreclosure, with costs. The total claim of the Sun Life company against the property amounts to $90,000 and interest, the par value of the bonds being $100,000. These bonds consist of first mortgage five per cents, and were to run for the space of twenty years. The whole issue was taken by the Sun Life company. According to the statement tho company issued in September, 1808, the total assets amounted to $284,056.10. The capital stook of the company, issned and taken up, amounted to $117,000, out of an authorized capital of $150,000. A large amount of this is held in Montreal and a good portion of it is said to be in the brokers' offices. Tho officers of the Snn Life company state that the judgment of tho court will cut out all the shareholders and unsecured creditors, and that thoy will have no claim whatever upon the company. This means that the stock will not be worth more than the value of the paper upon which it is engraved. Earthquakes In Greece.

Before taking Or. Ward's Blood ami Nerve Pills my kidneys had been affected for some iime. I had constant soreness and .-iiitT- nese across my loins and Ihe small of my back, My appetite was variablo and very poor. I also suffered greally with constant headaches, I am glad to be able to inform you lliat Dr. Ward's Pills completely etired mo of all the above ailments and made me a well man. I have found no medicine like Dr. Ward's Blood and Nerve Tills, although I have tried many different kinds, 'i'liey acted quickly and effectually on my nerve system, making my nerves strong and removing all indications of nervousness. These valuable pills also removed all kidney and back trouble and restored to me a healthy vigorous appetite. I have had no headache since nvo months ago and feel justified in saying that they are a wonderful remedy. They not only removed nervousness, but gave me healthy kidneys, removed all soreness and stlrfness from my back and loins, cured me of headache and gave me a good appetite, consequently I am highly pleased, 1 know of no medicine that equals Dr. Ward's Blood and Nerve Pills for nervousness, chronic headache, sore kidneys and back and loss of appetite.

Dean'. Cane prove, this Claim. London, Jan. 30.���At this season, when everybody one meets is complain ing of "the Grip," "Backache," or some other similar complaint, it comes as a relief to know that there are somo diseases from which people can free themselves at very slight expeuse, and scarcely any trouble. When we find that these diseases "have for centuries been looked upon as incurable, and have carried hundreds of thousands to untimely graves, we have reason to be thankful to science nnd its votaries, who have given us the means to free ourselves from this horrible nightmare of Dea-.li. As everyone knows, Kidney Diseases havo, until loss than ten years ago, beeu looked upon as utterly incurable. Hundreds of thousand! have died of them. Until lately there was no medicine known to roan that would either relieve or cure them. To-day, thanks to tbe wonderful medicine known throughout the civilized world aa Dodd's Kidney Pills, Kidney Diseases are no more danger- ���us than a common cold. Proof of this fact has been given by thousands of startling cures, by Dodd's Kidney Pills, of cases that the best physicians had "given up." Tlio latest evidence in this city comes from Iir, Charles Dean, an employee at the City Hotel. Mr. Dean suffered for three years witb terrible paius in bis back. He could get no relief from any of the many medicines he used. One day a friend advised him to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. He did so. As a result he is now as strong and well as he ever was. Dodd's Kidney Pills, he says, are worth their weight in gold. Ho they are to victims of Kidney Disease. LOCAL AND GENERAL. Capt. Armstrong has take up a timber limit ut Lake Lintleman. C. A.

Grant Alteration., Great alterations are being effected at the Beaver Sawmills, the property of the Columbia River Lumber Company, whose headquarters are at Golden. The mill has hitherto linen run by water power from Quartz creek, but it is now proposed io iialopt steam power as being more reliable and giving a longer milling season. The mill is under the management of Mr. G. Higginson, who has dow been in charge of it for 'seven years, and is one of the best sawmill men in the west. A now addition has been made to the mill, giving a space of 85 feet by 14ft. This includes a boiler house ib feet, by 33 feet, and an engine room 20 feet by 48 feet. The extension is solidly built on piles over tlio water-way of the Columbia rivor, 170 piles having been drivnn to support the floor, aud bound by 400 yards of rock. The motive power will bo supplied bv a 350 horse power engine uud a 50 horse power eugine, making 400 horso power in all. The new plant will includo steam feed, nigger aud log roller. Fitted with this new plant the mill will be capable of turning out 80,000 to 90,000 feet of sawn lumber per day. A machine shop has also been added to the plant, and is supplied with two large lathe., oue 22 feet and the other swinging 45 inches. A 12 horse power vertical steam engine has been put in to drivu the repairing plant. The boom is also to be extended to afford ample storage room for logs. During tho coming soason the Beaver mill will take a leading place among the lumber wills of British Columbia. UftfiUMNG COTTON DYES.

On Thursday night a large firo was seen in the vicinity of Moberly and the conclusion was at once arrived that the Moberly sawmill was on fire. The surmise proved correct. The mill was the property of the Columbia River Lumber Co. The plant consisted of two portable engines, and a large saw bench and was used to cut ties aud lumber to meet winter requirements not iu stock. The lire originated in the engine room from somo unknown cause. The plant was uninsured, so that the Company was a luser to the value thereof. Mr. Bubar went out tills morning to ascertain the state of things. The mishap will throw a number of men out of work as the hands employed at tho mill camp were at once discharged..

"Ah, woll-eh, er, you see, aw," stammered the gallant leader of the alleged opposition, thoroughly taken aback, ''Oh, I can name ldts of them; any number." "Name one," again came the retort, "In desperation the colonel, who looked both unhappy and uncomfortable, pointed dramatically towards the place where the provincial librnrv ia, and somewhat shakily said : "There waa Mr. Gosuoll.a m.st uiloful official; he waa ruthlessly turned out and���" "And who was put iu bis place?" interrupted the attorney-general. The colonel was absolutely stumped. He coughed, stammered, tried to say something, but it was lost iu the laughter, cheers and applause from house and galleries. When that had aubsided the colonel cried: '-Oh, you'll And I'm perfectly accurate iu what I say, I can give you many instances." "Name one" again came the fatal retort; and the house again laughed derisively at Colonel Jamis Baker, M, P.P. He seemed glad to sit down. THE LILLOOET "OUTKAOK." In tbe houso on Friday afternoon Mr. Eberts made the extraordinary statement, considering the evidence upon which he was talking, that the bill to enable Mr. Prentiee to take his seat was "a political trick, a monstrous proposition, and thit the trial would have come off on January 4th if an important witness-, Mr. Soues, a civil servant, had not been prevented from attending by an order from the attorney-general." Any man making a statement ol tbat kind, one would imagine would have the common sense to find if it was somewhere near ths truth. To those assertions Hon. Joseph Martin said: "That statement is absolutely untrue." To this Mr. Eberts replied: "It is possibly incorrect in word, but not in fact." "It is untrue in word and (Mt," rejoined the attorheygeneral.
