A moetin-j of the Golden Hospital com tnitttw una held on Tueadn> evening In connection with nurse Holt's kn-e ot absence. I .appears that inn-He IT", bus not been well lately, and desiring a holidny to recuperato sho obtained permission from the medical suporln- rendunr. Dr. Taylor, and ihosocretary. Mr. Robbitie, to g< to tbe itoaat for a trip. There wero very few pati-nis in tho lioepitnl at the time and it was a favon\b]o'ip|ortutiity in tbe interest of the Institution for her to get away. Mr Uo'-bitiH took the precaution to erruime to have a nnrs' here iinirjHH lately if rcquirod. It eppema that aome of tin* cotmitiiteeiook uutbruuea* nurso H'dtV b*nve of ubsence and at the meeting a resolution was parsed thut in fit'ii re no leave of absence be granted to the Medical Superintendent or Nutae without the Hpecial consent of tbe Board. Very grent regret is expressed In town at the action taken bv the Committee, as it is ad mined on all handa that nurse Holt haa doue splendid work <-t the hospital and has been a universal favorite with the patients and silbrtorihers Beaidea the etiquette of hospital management places tbe nursing staff under contiol of ihe medl oal miperindent. In ihis case the hospital haa been es|��oially fortunate in having an able all-round staff, medical so peri a undent, nurse and secretary*, and better officers oould not be found. It Is therefore most unfortunate that tho committee should have gone out of Its way to adopt a course which can only tend to creating friction In an institution so well managed hitherto, especially seeing that every precaution had been taken that the instltutiou ahould not suffer In case of emergency irom the absence of tlie nurse. To the Electors of North East Kootfiijay. GENTLEMEN,- Having received tbo nomination cf a Urge portion of the Eleotora of this DiAtrict as Candidate in the Liberal-Conservative interest for tbe legislative Assembly at tho forthcoming General Election, I have the houuur hereunder to place More you my viewft on some of the moi* import unt Political issues of tbe day, In order to inspire conflleiice in the investing pul-lic and to eni��ur# to the Province the prosperity whioh j* its due, it is of the first import' ance tt.dt tbo present *ute of pur lysis and chaos, whicli unfortunately exists in ihe Legislative Assem-dy Ht Vi 'oria, should bo replaced by one ut liu-i.ie-f! activity and urder. Thia cuu only be effected by putting In p ner tt i.odv of pructicul men having the complete confidence of the people .iiui ;. thorough knowledge of thoir wants, and being bound together by a comwuniti of imevesis wtneh will keep thein a solid party, with a de nine policv, nnd one leader, after Mr. Martin mid his abortive Cabinet have been defeated mid iliBci-editL'tl, Tbe only solid party now lu the field ia the uuu tu which I beioug and wbicb I pie ge myself to support. The first plank on our platform is to activeU aid the construct ic rt of trails und roads in the undeveloped portions of the Province, My iiitiinatti knowledge of this District would etinble me to make known your requirements in this respect; and the deve!op*n< nt uf North Bast Kootenay will ulwuys be my chief aim. I lieiiev-e it would be rossilde to devi&e a ao lieu ie wherein the mineral claims of uue particular section migh*. be m -It -o Oontrib ite n share of the cost of any trunk road which would benefit limn nil; and I am in fa-tour of such a scheme. I am opposed to the granting of a bonus to nny Hailway Company which iloes not give the Government, control of its rates and an option oi purchase. I am in favo.tr of, and would support, any practical scheme whereby the agricultural resources of the Province would receive assistance from ihe Guvernmeut; so that as far as possible each District might raise the KuppliiH required lor its own mines, aud thus reap the full benefit ol tbe development of its mineral resources. The Agency of tbe Province in London, which, under the "penny- wUe mid pound-foolish" policy of tbe late Administration, has become restricted mi-i ineffective, should lie at once, placed oo a more efficient basis, with a representutive, proper I v p.-iid, who would be capable of sup- ply in. rellnblo Information to British Capitalists; ko that they would realise bow favorable a field this Province offers for profitable investment. Iu regard to the Eight Hour Law, any amendments which would render the Uw acceptable to both Miners and Mine Owners would receive mv strongest support. The um.ending of this'law is of vital importance- to the Province und must be takon in hand by men who have at least- some practical know lodge of Miners and Mining. Hospitals and Medical Men in the outlying portions ofthe Province should receive more geuerous assistance from tbe Government than they do at present. s Evqry effort should be made toi discourage Oriental immigration. In conclusion. I wo-rid say that I am oppos-d to any legislation auch as the Allen Aot, which tends to . str-iiKe Capital and hinders tbe development of our resouices. lam NOT in favour of "tho aholiilob of ih.- 5200.00 deposit for Candidates for the Legislatute," I the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, FRAX.1S P.

According to a rumor iu circulation ttt Lorenzo Marques a Dorr forco has been sent to Intercept (Jen. Oarrington, but it is not thought to bo of B.illicioat strength to cause anxiety. A proclamation tssnetl at Oape Town today allow, trading between Oape Oolony and the occupied portions of the Orange Free State to be resumed. A patrol of Oape polioe near fioshof yesterday captured two Boers, some oxen, wagon, and 200 head of oattle. Two Germans, who recently arrived at Oape Town, have heen sentenced to a year's isnprisonment for having sns- ploiou. possession of 100 rifle, and 600 cordite cartrld.es. The Lorenzo Ma* qnes correspondent of Ihe Daily Mail, telegraphing Wednesday, say.: "Two hundred and flity Boen started yesterday from Water- vaal, marching through Zoutpan.berg district, to intercept Geu. Oarrington'. foroe," There are 2,000 men .ick in the field hospitals, many cases being of dysentery and enterio fever. With the exception of these foot., the embargo on war news is almost complete. The speoial correspondents send trivialities, or statements which obssenre rather than explaiu the situation in their efforts to prepare matter that will pas. the censor. Here and there a phrase indicates au expectancy that large things are abont. to happen. London, April 20.���A delugeof rain, lasting ten days, has brought the operations in tbe southeastern part of the Free State almost to a stnnd.till. The creeks have become roaring riven, and the roads are streams of mad. A singular message dated Bloemfontein, April lB.and beginning, via press censor, Bloemfontein, report, an exchange of snots in the direotion of De Wet's Dorp, where the Boers are Mid td be concentrating, "after tbeir withdrawal from Wepener." There is nothing else to indicate that tbe investment of Wepener has been abandoned hy the Boers'. Notwithstanding the rain, however, the British have made some progress, as DeWet's Dorp has been occupied by them, probably by the advance of Gen. Bundle's division. DeWet's Dorp is about 34 miles north of Wepener. An obscure menage from Aliwal North, dated April 10. suy. that Gen. Brabant has arrived there; but whether he returned alone or with hi. troop, is not dear. Boer report, from Aliwal North aver that ftom 8,* 000 to 10,000 Boen are at Wepener. Ilclp Needed.

Mr. Gilmour, East Middlesex, when the orders of the day were called, read a relslution passed at a meeting in hi* riding, asking tbat the gove-ument seu I aid in mrney or grain to encourage any movement in the country in this direotion. Mr. Douglas, East Auiniboia, spoke from a seven yean' acquaintance with the afflicted district, ou J describe 1 tne cause of the famine.

What was wanted wa. cash assistance to relieve the distressed. Provision, wonld not reaoh them in time to be of any -service. Money orders should be cabled. The movement to send grain from the United State, was a worthy one, but it aroie from lack ot knowledge of condition, prevailing In India.. The bndget debate wm reeumed by Mr. Davis, Saakaohewan, who oritlo- lied Mr, Dovin ud the Leader. In reply to Mr. Kanlbach Sir Wilfrid Laurier said the piesent wu not an op- portune time to negotiate with Newfoundland to bring the Island Into eon- federation.

The oase is thst of Parley Ulsaer, son of Mr. Mathiu Mlsner, who had suffered from hip joint dlsetse ud ibsoesms, ud who hid bun under tbe can of four doott ra withont bene- flolal remits. Mr. Mituer govt the putioulan of Ihe oase as follows: "In ths spring of 1899 my son,. Parley, wbo was then in his thirteenth year, began to complain of an aching in his hips, an J later my attention wai directed to a peculiar shamble in bis gait As the trouble gradually gnw npon him I took him to a pbyiioian in Dunvllle, who examined him ud uid the trouble arose from a weskneu of the nems of the hip. This dootor trosted Parley for weeks, during whioh time a large abscess formed on his leg, tnd ht wu obliged to get abont un orutchea. At ht continued to decline, I resolved to try another, doc.tqr, who diagnosed the oom u hip Joint disease. He treat- ,ed Parley for six months.

One would hardly Imagine that the professional thief wonld be swayed in his doings by superstition. It Is difficult to conceive, for Instance, u armed burglar, a mu who breaks into your houu with the fixed Intention of putting a ballet Into yon or bitting you over the head with a jimmy If you surprise him and try to prevent his escape, being deterred from carrying out his nefarious plans by the sight ot a black cat, yet this Is one of the small things ot life which ore regarded by thieves aa sufficiently Important to upset a well laid scheme. Some three or four yean ago a gang of three men had decided to break Into the oflice of a large factory and make an attempt on the Mfe. At certain times, aa they had found, a large sum of money wss kept In that ufe for a day or two, ud on this occasion they had resolved to divert this money from going Into Its proper channel and turn the stream toward themselves. All the circumstances seemed favorable. Tha factory wu In a lonely part ud not far from the railway, where the rattle ot psulng trains would drown uy noise they might make and where It wu highly Improbable that they wonld meet any one as tbey made their way late at night to the scene of action. They bad nearly reached the factory when a cat itarted from a corner and ran across their path, and by tba light of the n. in which peeped forth at that very minute they uw that It wai black. Immediately tbey baited. After tome discussion one of them refused to proceed and went tack, while the othen, although they were nerv* ous st the thought of 111 luck, went on. They were caught In the very' act of drilling a hole In tbe ufe door and i fenced to long terms. The sound of a child lobbing tt nlgbt In a house near the one Into which he Intends to break Is quite enough to make many a burglar go back borne, It is a sure sign of misfortune. Why this should be so regarded Is not essy to determine, but perhaps the Idea of In* nocence usually associated with In* fonts has some undefined effect upon the hardened heart of tbe criminal. There are some who regard the sudden stopping of a clock as an Intimation tbat some friend or relative bas died at that minute. In tbe same way If a clock stops Ih a room In wblcb a burglar Is at work ha will consider it advisable to leave the premises without delay. This occurred to a man wbo was recently convicted, and he sorrowfully remarked to tbe policeman who took him Into custody that If he had paid heed to the 111 omen he would Just have got clear before the master of tbe houu returned. COLESKOP. Where the Brltl.l. Diaiael On. Va One Thousand Feet. Once a second lieutenant of American regulars was up for examination for promotion. One of tbe questions asked of him by a grided member of the board was this: ..If rou were out scouting and-* Mil Should suddenly rise up before you, wbat would you do!" "I'd run like hades," wid tbe lieutenant promptly, and added, "I wouldn't want to stay In a country where bills are liable ta rise up like that." These are tbe kind of bills or kops tbat confront the Tommies In South Africa. And the Tommies "run like hades," too, only, being brave men In actual warfare, they run mostly toward the top of the hills. Then bills, many of them, are about as nearly perpendicular on all sides at tbey can be without toppling over.

C Wells held a meeting in Columbia Hall last Saturday eveniutr, at which a large number of the friends of Mr. Wells was present. At the opening of the meeting Mr. Haggen was elected chairman and In a few appropriate remarks explained the object of the meeting -thut of Mr. Wells giving an nccountof his stewardship whilst h member of the late Legislature. Mr. Wells had done a great deal for tho district and was a good man to represent tho poople. Mr. Wells, on rising, said it was an easy task for him to give suoh an Mr-count of himself and was pleused to do so. He then referred to his being eleoted by nceiainatiob. but it wns with much reluctance* he entered upon the preseut contest, as he had all his interests in the distriot to look after, which required considerable attention, and in representing the district as its member he fonnd It had taken up much of his time; iu fact, whilst a member ho bnd put the constituerto> flrst and his own affairs seoond. Thus it would be seen that, to fulfil his duty as a representative, he had to partly neglect h's own business. However, thonch lw had come for the express purpose of retiring aud declining further nomination, In) was Impressed front a sense of duty lo his friends 10 accept (t if nominated, not that he waa ambitious for political honors, but as so many of the electors had requested him to 1* a candidate he felt hehad no other alternative. He then spoke of his election as a supporter of the late Government nnder the leadership of Mr. Stimlin, with Manin and Cotton as prominent members - a Government which he felt sure had the interests of the Province at heart. Things went well for the fiist sessiou, but during that time he was preseut only about ten days. However, he had found only $9,000 had been asked for this district, which sum be hsd had further increased to the extent of $4,000. whicli had beeu well expended in tba interests of the constituency io building the bridge at Athalmer - a wise project, and of great convenience to the publio at large. He had also nrcured the removal of the Court House from Donald to Golden, which amounted to between tnree and four thousand dollars. Thus it wonld be seen he had the grant for the district increased 10 the exrent or $7,000. Mr. Wells next referred to the harmonious way in which matters had cone until August of last ytar, when some dissensions had taken place in tbe Cabinet through the Detidiuan Island question, when certain ronsons were given for calling upon Mr. Martin to resign. He also referred to the last sessiou of ihe House, going into details as to how the Semlin Government was defeated. He spoke of Martin being called upon to form a Cabinet and said be wae precluded from being a possible supporter of Murt in's Cabinet from its formation; and if eleoted. he wished to ro present thi-t conitrueney trammelled by no party alliance*. He sal lie must go Velying oft his'oWtt Jung- ment, gotten hy the rWultn of the election throiigho'ut'tfee Province. He claimed, however, that he would not consider jt his duty-to oppose Joseph Martin or any Government that muy be formed, but he did not desire to exercise thnt judgment until -the voice of the people throughout the Province bad Iishjii heard nnd declared. Mr. Thos. O'Brien addressed the meeting at coitKJderuble length and moved, seconded by Mr. H". C. Killeen, that W. C Wells be nominated to represent this district, which motion whs car Hed. Jr. Weils, replying, thanked tho meeting fcr the favor conferred upon him in their selection of a eandiduto. He would use his beat judgment to represent tne constituency as it should be if elected. A committee wai then appointed tu carry ou the election iu Mr Wells' interest, which is OJinposed of Messrs. Thos. O'Brien, Jam** Noble, A. Campbell. S. E. Humbly, Thos. Robson, W. 3. Robertson, J. O. Greene. E. A. Haggen, H. C. Killeen. S. G Robbins, R. M'inuel, H. W. Harrison 'and <-. W. Bubar. Aftei the committee hail been duly appointed Hun. F. W. Ayliner roe-and citked that some one in the audience nominate him as a member of the com- mines, stating his reason* for so doing. Mr. Aylmer wan accordingly numbered among the committeemen amidst applause. After a vote of thanks to Mr. Wells for ihe very aids manner in which he hud represented the district, the meei tug dispersed to meet again ���<' thevam* place to*morrow evening at a o'clock Conservative Nominee. The Conrervstfva party held their first publio meeting in the Columbia Hall on Monday evening, for the pur- pots cf nominating thoir Candidate at the forth coming eieotion. J. Devlin waa nppolnted chairman. Capt. Armstrong having announced himself ss a Candidate was oalled upon to give su outline of his policy. He wKk In favor of a dyking and Irrigating system for North East Kootenay. Ht believed in having tn agent In London to represent BritUh Colum bla, claiming tbtt it would be tbt meant of bringing capital Into the coun try. He spoke of an eight-hour law, and claimed that the Conservatives had never bun baokward In helping the working man; and ssid thtt Mackintosh in Rosslsnd would poll tt many votes as bia opponent. The miners in Rossland are now working. The Eight- hour lav should b'art suited the worker, and the mine owner, bat thit law was forced upon both sett, Making them matt, and tying up matters for mouths, but now that matter* have been smoothed over the men are working. Ha thought the principle wa* all right, but laws should be made b.v men who know their business, . He also stated that Mr. Mackintosh had takeu upon himself to guarantee the return of aix straight Conservatives from the Kootenayt, there Mould also be two from Cassiar, twe from Carl bco, and there was bul little donbt ;���� to North and East Tale returning Fulton and Ellison, Ht claimed that the Conservatives were tore of al these seats. Mr. Armstrong also scored the Ute government very strongly on the Liquor Licence Aot, saying that they could not have considered the rural constituencies when passing the Act. as the exi��nse and trouble of get'lng the licence was too much. The Chinese question also received attention, saying that there was no one more opposed to Chinese er oriental Imraigratiou than he was. He had travelled all over the province and had seen the result of this Immigation In all its stages. He would grant no cer- litlcatvs to Chinese having the country thus compelling Ihem to pay the $nC0 'each time they came to the couutry. Ho also stnted that if the immigration U w of Japan were endorsed there would be fewer Japanese come to this country. Mr. Armstrong then told his audi ence that na in thd past he would always stand up for the district. Then he told what he had done for t he district claiming to have had the sttw milts nt Golden built: pnt the fist steam boat 011 the Columbia; and was actually the means of bringing the present hospital to Golden. Mr. Armstrong then took hie seat amidst applause. Mr. Mitchelll Innra (ben rose and nominated Capt. Armstrong at the Conservative candidate, which was seconded by J. Dulmspe Thia wus carried Mr Armarronu then thanked the audience for the very great favor they hud conferred upon him. saying he was perfectly satisfied With the uoniln a-ion.
