MAY 22, l9» NO. 27 HALF JVHLLION Value of Trail Smelter's Product for April LEAD REFINERY OUTPUT ALMOST QUARTER OF MILLION DOLLAR8 IS VALUE OF GOLD, SILVER AND LEAD RECOVER ED FROM BULLION DURING LAST MONTH. Further evidence of the mineral resources of the Kootenays and the Boundary, but particularly the former, Is afforded by the returns sot the Consolidate Mining and Smelting com- ' svny'e smelter at Trail for April. Daring the month of production of the smelter from the ores treated was $507,068, going close io, If not estab- Usblng a record for the plant Nearly Half of this represents the.output of the company's lead refinery, wher pure lead and gold and silver 999 fine are turned out from bullion produced by the sliver lead furnaces of the smelter. The returns for April bring the smelter's production for the first four months of the current year up to $1,675,000 adn for the ten month's of the company's year, which ends June 30. to $4,088,940. More than half of this represents the value of the output of the refinary during the ten months During April the number of tons of ore received at the smelter was 35,* 490 while the .number of tons treated was 35,496, or six tons more than the receipts. The ore treated yielded 410 tons of copper matte and 2264 tons of lead bullion. The gross value of the smelter's production for the month was as follows: (Sold $214,836 Silver 101,891 Copper .., 44,232 £ead 146,110 Total $507,068 This represents the total value of the copper matte and the lead bullion. tho copper matte which contains copper, gold, some silver as well as other betalss, Is sent elsewhere for further treatment but the lead bullion output ot the smelter is treated at the company's electrolytic refinery at Trail, tbe only plant of its kind ln Canada. From bullion treated by the refinery during the month there were recovered 2012 tons of pure lead, 2663 ounces of gold end 14S.12R ounces of Bllver. The value of these products of the refinery were as follows: . Lead $115,927 Silver 75.485 Gold 64,959 Total $246,371 The figures for the month bring the total product of the smelter since June 30 last up to $4,988,940 und of the refinery for the same time up to $2,096,- 46J. The returns for the ten months makes the total value of the products of the smelter since It commenced operations $35,000,000. The company's showing for the pres- ent year is especially gratifying in view of the fact that a large amount of work has been done ln the day of enlarging the plant. One ot tne more Important works undertaken was the enlarging of the furnaces. In order to do this It was necessary to close down one furnace of the battery at a time, while the new one to replace It was being Installed. The completion of this work, however, means increased capacity for the smelter and with the handling of a larger amount of ore dally, which should give a largely increased output for next year. 1 FRENCH NAVAL PLAN8 France Declines to Be Left Behind In the Race PARIS, May 21—The superior council of the navy has decided upon a program that increases the number of French battleships up to thirty-eight, a total that would Insure France with a place among the naval powers of the world.

STRIKE FAILS UTTERLY CURTAIN 18 RUNG DOWN ON ATTEMPT TO PARALYZE FRANCE LEADER8 OP FEDERATION ADVANCE USUAL CLAIM PARIS, May 21—The curtain was rung down today upon the general strike and recriminations by the leaders who tried to throw the responsibility for the failure upon each other and the defeated postal employees. The end came when a few hundred laborers voted to resume work. The general federation of labor Issued a manifesto in which they seek to cover up their retreat by ex* plaining that the postal employees were over confident of tbe success of their second strike, "which everything shows was prepared and Instigated by the government which was desirous of an opportunity to avenge itself against the leaders of the first strike." The statement adds that the strikes of the excavators and other workmen have sufficiently demonstrated thtf sol Idarlty of the proletariat and the post* men. there was no reason to call out other unions notably the electricians who had expressed their readiness to enter the fight With the surrender of the general federation of labor the strike of the postal employees which had already practically ended collapsed utterly and th few men who were still on strike decided to return to their offices and try to obtain their old positions. The strikers In Paris made several attempts today to Invade the factories nnd buildings where the men had refused to quit work. Their course resulted In minor riots and a number of arrests. Following tbe advice of their leaders, the strikers began to destroy property. -A large number of telegraph poles were thrown down last night Fortunately this was discovered, and remedied, else the workmen entering the caisson would have beftn subjected to great danger. Following the vote or the builders and masons this afternoon favoring a return to work, the federal committee of the general federation decided officially to announce the end of the strike.

EMPIitf DAY School Concert is in Every Way Success WATCH FOR MR. SULLIVAN LATE PRINCIPAL 18 GIVEN ILLUMINATED ADDRE8S AND VALUABLE PRESENT ON HI8 RE TIREMENT FROM STAFF—THE FIR8T PUBLIC EVENT IN NEW BUILDING. TINKERING THE TARIFF SENATE LEISURELY REVISING HOUSE'S RATES NOTHING FINAL, RIGHT TO REVISE IS RESERVED WASHINGTON, D. D., May 21..—There were some squalls In tin; senate today but notwithstanding this, the tarlf bill made some progress. A number ot paragraphs were pasHed upon while in most Instances they were disposed of with the understanding that the senate might still return to them. It Is tbe general opinion .that very little, if any tchange will be made In most of them. The house rates were retained In the polished plain glass paragraph but with the understanding that when the bill is taken up In the senate proper, it now being consldere as In the committee of the whole, there will probably be alterations. The so called "republic and progressives" crUlzed the house rate as too high, while senator Oliver, who represents the glass producing state of Pennsylvania, contended that the rate was entirely Inadequate to the proper protection of the plate glass Industry., The interests considered during the day ranged all the way from mlcft and feldspar to automobiles. Beginning with the earthenware schedule rate ft number of committee recommendations were adopted. These Include a market on feldspar made at the Instance of senator Bradley and a decided reduction on gypsum. There was a reduction in mica from the Dingley rate. Pour hours was devoted to the paragraph fixing a duty on electric light carbons. The Dingley law provides a rate flit iW cents per hundred while the proposed provision fixed 66 cents on high grade and 35 cents for the low grade. Senators La Polletto and (lore contended that the effect of this amendment would he practically double the present rate and they charged that the charge had <been made in the Interest of the national carbon company which he defined as a trust. Mr. Gore also said that there was a combine between the carbon makers and the Standard Oil company. Mr. Burton who lives In Cleveland where the carbon company is located, vigorously defended the company. The finance committee's .automobile ■chedlue which was suggested by senator Gallinger was accepted. 'Mr. Adrleh stated that tomorrow he would ask the senate to fix a day for voting upon the tariff bill. At 6:60 the senate adjourned.. The Empire day entertainment given In the assembly room of the new pub* lie school building, which was used publicly for the first time last night, was a huge success from every point of view. The children taking part In the program had all been excellently trained and showed themselves to be capable of giving a class of entertainment seldom seen ln a public school in a city of the size of Nelson. Every teacher in the school had worked hard In preparation for the celebration, many of them having put in many hours of overtime training the young performers and getting everything ready and the result was apparent In last night's concert. At the end of tiie entertainment Albert Sullivan, who has retired from the position of principal, was presented with an illuminated address from the trustees, staff and pupils .together with a beautlflly engraved gold watch. Th program was opened by a selection played hy Wilkinson's orchestra and a pianoforte solo cleverly played by Miss Maud Simons. Rev. P. H. Graham then delivered an address In which he spoke of the origin and meaning of Empire day and of the reasons for the greatness of the British empire- That great British Institution "Home" was together with moralty and loyalty was responsible to ■a very large extent. It was the last which was responsible for the wonderful cohesion between the mother country and her colonies. There was the case of the South African war. What other country has overseas empires which would come to Its assistance as nobly as had those of Great Britain In her time of need during that struggle? The speaker concluded by emphasizing the fact that the dny had originally been called Victoria day, spoke of the greatness of the queen and her unfailing goodness and nobility. Mr. Graham's sepech was followed by a song from eight boys entitled "Good Musicians," the performers accompanying their song with music from trumpets and other instruments beloved of the happy child. Harold Brett was much applauded for his excellent rendition of a violin solo, Cav- aliere Rusiicnna, and tlie next item on the program was a Highland fling danced by a number of boys. Tlie boys taking part in the fling had been, like all the rest of the performers, carefully trained and went through the dance without a hitch. A number of small boys and girls sang nnd acted a delightfully pretty action song. The Sunflower Brill which came next was one of tlie prettiest of the many picturesque drills given. Each child was dressed to represent a sunflower and tlie stage appeared to be swarming with a crowd of quaint beings who might have jumped straight from the pages of those masters of the faljr story, Grimm or An- derBon. Over 50 performers took part in the fairy song "Heather Bells" while the grand Canadian chorus "Men of the North" was sung by the whole school of 500 voices. The effect of the many youthful voices was remarkable In its unanimity" of singing and the swing with which the song Was rendered. The same may be said of the other choruses given, "Canada," "Maple Land" and "Canadian Boat Song." Both boys and girls took part In a clever composition pleasantly rendered ontitled "Nursery Rhymes" in which the characters mentioned came on the stage In suitable dresses. A three- part song "Whip-Poor-Will" was given by about EO girls and elicited much applause and a Bneezfng Bong delivered by a number of boys clothed as forest elfs met with equal success. The first part of the program was closed with a good night drill by a number of tiny children clothed In pretty white "nighties" and carrying dolls and colored lanterns. The first item of the second half was a piano duet by Miss Flossie Johnstone and MIsb Bina Taylor. A male quartet consisting of Harold Brett. Dick Ferguson, 8tewart Newitt and Jack Ormby sang together splendidly. A song "I'm o'er Young" by four girls caused much amusement while a para* sol drill ln which appeared a number of older girls dressed In Japanese costumes and carrying dainty paper umbrellas was one of the prettiest Items on the program. The eagerly looked forward to minuet more than came up to expectations and was cleverly danced by the girls chosen who were attired in the picturesque style of the courts of the late Georges. Other delightful numbers In the second part of ths program were an Indian song, a "Darby and Joan" duet, a sweetly pretty flower drill, a lullaby song and a motion song. At the conclusion of the musical program Dr. E. C. Arthur rose and asked tlie audience to keep their Beats in order that a presentation might be made to the late principal, Mr. Suit- van, on the occasion of his leaving the school on account of having been pro* moted to the position of Inspector. The presentation consisted of an illuminated address, which was read by MIbs Georgie Patrick, and a gold watch. Mr. Sullivan ln a few well chosen words thanked the trustees, teachers and the pupils for the honor they had done him. The conclusion of the late principal's speech was greeted with enthusiastic cheering and a round of cheerB from the 1,200 people present. MONGOLIAN GETS FREE ALLAN LINER EXTRICATED FROM THE ICE PACK. PASSENGERS AND MAIL WILL BE LANDED AT HALIFAX ST. JOHN'S. Nfd, May 21—The Allan line steamer Mongolian early to- dey freed herself from the ice pack off the entrance to St. John's harbor ln which she had been imprisoned for two days. The Mongolian after releasing herself from the ice pack did not attemtp to enter St. John's harbor, ice conditions making such a course apparently impracticable, The steamer worked off shore and at 8 a.m. was making slow progress through towards the south through the heavy drift ice. It was believed on shore that the steamer was proceeding towards Bay Bulls, 18 miles south of St. John's, where there was a possibility of her making a harbor. The Mongolian upon arriving off Bay Bulls found that the harbor was. completely packed with Ice and b*ib was unable to force her way through. The captain of the steamer' then started south for tlie open water beyond Cape Race where he announced that the steamer would anchor until a change of wfnd clears the Newfoundland coast of Ice. The heavy easterly swell set in last night broke up the Ice pack and enabled the Mongolian to shake herself free. The heaving and grinding began about dark and all night there was constant commotion in the great field, the big bergs twisting and turning while the pressure of the steamer was greater tha never hefore. Dawn revealed open water within a few miles of the steamer and a little later a lead opened out through which the Mongolian went to comparative safety. For the first hour or no it was slow work for the ice was still heavy and continually driving in on tlie steamer. On going further off shore the floes open- en out more and more and at 8 p.m. with fairly clear water the Mongolian swung round and headed down the coast and around Capt Spear in the direction of Bay Bulls where she is expected to remain until the mouth of St. John's harbor is cleared of ice. When the Mongolian reached Cape Race the agents of the Alan line here signalled Instructions to Captain Williams to proceed to Halifax and land the few passengers originally destined for St. John's, together with 200 tons of cargo consigned to this port. Although in danger the steamer Diana remained in the loose ice of Bay Bulls tonight where she bad been caught in the attempt with the Mongolian to find refuge in the harbor there.

TO BUILD FOUR Economists in Cabinet are Over-ruled NAVY MUST BE STRONG FOREIGN SECRETARY CREDITED WITH FIRMNESS THAT CARRIED THE POINT — LORD CHARLES BERESFORD OPPOSES COLONIAL OFFERS OF DREADNOUGHTS. LONDON, May 21—Premier Asquith, Foreign Secretary Grey and popular opinion, according to the Pall Mail Gazette, have overcome the scruples of the ultra economists ln the ministry and the cabinet has decided that the four contingent Dreadnoughts men tloned ln the navy estimates shall be laid down before the end of the financial year. At a polltcal meeting that was being addressed here tonight by Premlre Asquith a crowd of suffragettes stormed the hall. The women, however, failed to effect an entrance to the building and several of them were injured in encounters with the police. Mr. Asquitli was obliged to make his exit secretly through a side door be* lore the proceedings had ended. Addressing a gathering of Australians here tonight on the naval question, Admiral Charles Beresford urged that the colonies ii.stead of a* jj ■■jb- uling towards tbabt'iWin^ at ' / d* naught* should build- c- I -6 I '"t their trade and comme-w ant, 5*7 -- the nucleus of navietToP their own,'lifter the example of Japan which, half a century ago, was fighting with tortoise shell armor and bows and arrows This ,he said, should not be difficult for the colonies. What the British empire wanted was a navy that was able to go out and attack and protect routes. He considered that "our insane advertisements of Dreadnoughts" offended other nations and involved Europe in terribly expensive naval competitions.

The remains were doposftde in a black coffin and taken hack to .Mr. Meredith's house in Dorking for interment. No official explanation yet has been made of the refusal to permit tlie placing of Mr. Meredith's ashes in Westminster Abbey, but it is understood that the Dean of Westminster considers that the Victorian authors already are sufficiently represented there. It Is said this evening that King Edward has taken a hand in the agitation to induce the Dean of Westminster to reconsider his decision and if this Is the case it is almost certain that Mr. Meredith's ashes will be enshrined in the Abbey. The Earl of Granard who married Miss Beatrice Mills of New York last January, waa invested with the insignia of a knight of the order of St. Patrick at Buckingham palace by King Edward this morning. The appointment is made to fill the vacancy resulting from the death of Earl of Howth.

Y„ May 21.— The following platform of the Lake Mohonk conference on international arbitration was today adopted unanimously and without dlssentton or criticism' The fifteenth annual Lake Mohonk conference on international arbitration, meeting on the tenth anniversary of thu opening of the first Hague conference, reviews with profound satisfaction tbe signal advance ot the cause or International Justice during the decade, a progress unexampled In any previous period i nhistory. The memorable achievements ot this period are at once nn inspiration and an Imperative call to renewed effort. We urge upon our government, which has been so conspicuously and honorably identified with the progressive politics of the Hague, prompt action perfect- ing the Important measures there Inaugurated and the complete development of the system ot arbitration. We especially urge its early initiative in tht establishment of the international court of arbitral Justice. We further urge the negotiation of a general treaty of arbltratf/on between all nations and look forward with Increasing hope to the day when the treaties ot a-bitration shall provide for reference to the Hague of all International differences not settled by regular diplomatic negotiations. The clear logic of the Hague conventions, corresponding to the development of the Instrumen- la'Ulos of law and Justice tor the settlement of international differences. The great armiments of the nation whose Intolerable burdens prompted the call to the first Hague conference, have during the decade increased so protentiallv as to have now become, as recently declared Iby the British foreign secretary, a satire upon civilisation. They fill the world with apprehension and alarm. They create nn atmosphere unfavoraBle to the system of arbitration, and their drain upon tbe resources of the people has become so exhausting as to menace all national treasurers and dlsasterously check the social reforms and advances which the Interests of Rumanity demand. It Is the opinion of this conference that the time has arrived for carrying Into effect the strongly expressed desire of the two peace conferences at the Hague that the gov- — - "—line the possibility of armed forces by land and sea and of war budgets," and addressthemselves to the serious study of this pressing question. KILLED HER CHILDREN Connecticut Mother, Temporarily Insane, Murders Her Babes EAST HAMPTON, Conn.. May 21— Mrs. Louis Carstein cut the throats of her three children and then her own this morning at the Carstein farm about two miles from the center of tlie village. Two of the children, aged ten years and a ten months old girl, are dead, nnd Mrs. Carstein and a Bev- cn-year old boy are dying . No reason Is known for the woman's act and it Is thought she may have been insane. The tragedy occurred on the upper floor of the home and It is believed Louis, aged 10, was attacked while ■sleeping, as bis bed was covered witli blood. His throat had been cut and his breast slashed. He had managed to get down stairs but died in his half sister. Elinor's, arms. John, who had been called up stairs by his mother, came staggering down with a gaping wound in his neck. When Mr. Carstein and the physicians who had been called up stairs they found Mrs. Carstein lying on the floor dying with blood flowing from the wounds ln her throat and a few feet awa'y lay her infant daughter, dead. Mrs. Carstein was conscious and nble to talk. In answer to her husband's questions aB to the reaBon for her acts she replied: "I wanted to die nnd I wanted to take the children with me. t did not want to leave them.' She died shortly afterwards. It was stated hy her husband that she was subject to mental troubles and in the hope of benefiting her he had taken her to Europe and Florida. She had also at one time had treatment in a western sanitarium. They had mov. ed to the country from Brooklyn last November for quiet. Yesterday site had appeared all right.

"It Is the Judgment light," CANADIAN NORTHERN WILL BUILD NO MORE MAIN LINE THIS YEAR. ROUTE FROM EDMONTON TO VANCOUVER IS APPROVED. MONTREAL, May 21.—The proposed iroute ot the Canadian Northern railway from the city of Edmonton to Vancouver and New Westminster has been approved by the department of railways and canals, is the announcement made by vice-president D. D. Mann, of the C. N. R., who stepped off here yesterday eif route to Quebec where he will say bon voyage to his son who Is sailing today on the Empress of Britain. Mr. Mann did not think his company would build any any more main line this year but it wus quite likely that next year will see the company getting to work. All this, however, will depend on time and the state of the money market. He thought that three haundred miles of branch lines would be built this season, although he denied th/* report that the number of miles of branch work would reach 600, as had appeared In newspapers. From what Mr. Mann said yesterday the efforts of the company will be put forth in the direction of Calgary and Edmonton, as they have about decided that this line will have to be built this present year. After stating that the country is rapidly filling up with settlers from Winnipeg to Edmonton, Mr. Mann was asked If the company was, doing much in the way of getting settlers to take up land in that Part of Canada. He .made the following interesting statement: "I am not in a position to say just what we are doing in that direction, but if it were published the information would be very pleasing to those who desire to see the country become the home of good Bettlerb Prom one end of the prairie section to the other this lg one of the most important branches In our work." Regarding the' section around the north shore ot Lake Superior Mr. Mann intimated that operations are likely to begin some time next year on this Important link, which is destined to bring the company's main line west of the Great Lakes into direct connection with the Canadian Northern's Ontario and Quebec sys*, terns. the "One Touch of Nature Makes Whole World Kin."

He says Europe falls to comprehend Americans and the crisis preparing there, should not confound the anti- plutocratic movement with European socialism. After reviewing the immense sensation caused by the crusade of individual writers and official inquiries and prosecutions into matters of industry and finance, which, he says, have made Europe believe that American was a seething caldron of moral corruption, Slgnor Ferrero Insists that a close examination compels a different conclusion. He gives It as his opinion that the anti-plutocratic movement was forced by the jealousies of the middle classes against the rich and that It borrowed many catch words from, socialism. Its fundamental Idea, however, was to prove that America, so often acused of materialism, was still strongly Inspired by puritanical tradition and democratic inaUnota. u "Fruit-a-tivea" Cured Him Whan Everything Elso Failed, Ulverton, Que., March 17th, 1908. I wish to place on record, for the sake of others who may be suffering In the same way that I suffered, that no medicine I ever took did mo so much real good as "Fruit**-lives" did. I suffered for many years with Kidney Trouble, with bad pain ln the back. ' , I took every known kidney remedy and kidney pill, but nothing gave me any relief, and I was getting discouraged. I waa advised to try "Frult-a-tives" nnd did so—«nd this medicine cured me when everything else failed. I used altogether fifteen boxes of "Fruit-a-tives," and from the outset they gave me relief and I am now practically well again; no pain, no distress, and all symptoms of kidney disease have entirely left me. I am very thankful to be once more well, and I freely make this statement for the sake of others who may suffer as I did. To them, I say try "Frult-a-tives," as they are a grand kidney medicine.

The pupils who took part In last night's Empire day concert and the teachers who prepared the program for the occasion are to be heartily congratulated ou the success achieved. The performance put on represented weeks of hard work both on the part of tne pupils and the teachers and tnat everything passed off without a hltca shows how well the work of training was done. Besides being an observance of Empire day, u,e concert also served as an official opening of the city's fine new school, while additional interest was lent to the occasion by tbe fact that It was also turned into a farewell to Mr. Albert Sullivan who has juet retired from the position of principal. Altogether, therefore, last night's concert promises to be one long remembered In school circles. One thing that the concert showed and that was "tlie lack of a Canadian national song. There were some Canadians songs on the program but none of them had anything in it that would stamp it as the one great song of the country. The nearest approach to a Canadian national song Ib the Maple Leaf, which, however, is condemned on musical grounds and also becausa It cannot be accepted by all the people of the Dominion, being too strictly Anglo-Saxon to ever appeal to the people ot Quebec. It was, it is understood, on musical grounds that It waa omitted from last night's program. But if there was no Canadian national song on the program at last night's concert, there was a selection that will quite satisfy most Canadians not only until a song of their own is produced but which will, it is hoped, always be sung with it. Tbe song, or properly speaking the anthem, refer* red to Is "God 8ave the King."' As long as Canadians retain the right to sing that, the necessity for a national song of their own will never become veryp resslng. BRITISH COLUMBIA ATTACKED There is published in the city of Calgary a paper, The Daily News, which for some reason or other, never misses an opportunity to say something mean about the province of British Columbia and often goes out of Its way to do bo. Particularly does It oppose and attack the feeling in this province against Asiatic Immigra- tou. But it does not stop there. It Is apparently a case with The News "Can any good thing come out of British Columbia?" Its latest exhibition of animosity toward this province occurs in an article beaded "Up boy-- alty Easy." which appears to have been written with the object of getting off the following: "There is no greater shouter for Imperialism and Dreadnoughts and wi.at Castell Hopkins used to call the "hMBotfM* ttMta" fttbub Btttfltt'Qel* umbia, and yet Its local legislation Is of a kind taut li »o narrow that If tlie province were not saved from itself it would be as fenced In as Bulgaria or Montenegro or any of the seven-by- nlne European countries that think they are a law unto themselves and can live without the money or mre* chandlse of others. "And to think of people who favor 'such narrow provincial policies prating about the Imperial idea and the 'harmonious whole.' It would not take such a policy long to put the province in an inharmonious hole." There is no explanation given of this attack, nor any reason advanced for It. The News in Us superior way does not condescend to say what legislation it considers so narrow that it "would not take long to put the province in an inharmonious hole," apparently if an all-wise government at Ottawa did not save us from ourselves. But perhaps The News may be forgiven. Its editor and proprietor Is not long out from"t$e east. It is only a couple of years since he was running a weekly paper 'tn the town of Goderlch, Huron county, Ontario. In the days before 1S90 he did journalistic scavfingerlng for the opposition and, on the present government coming into power and- bis services being no longer required to stir up muck journalistically, he was given a job dredging the dirt- out of Goderich harbor. Having finished this Job he came west a couple of years ago and A Woman's Sympathy Are you discouraged? Is your doctor's bill a heavy financial load? Is your pain a heavy physical burden?

Attacks from such a source cannot hurt British Columbia to any extent. It would, however, be interesting to know the reason of the animosity displayed toward thla province by The News.

CA8TR0 NOT GUILTY Ex-President Acquitted oV Complicity in Conspiracy CARACAS May 21.—A decision was ren* tferefl today by a judge o tho crlmlna court dismissing the charge against form 'er president Cairtro of complicity m plot to assassinate Juan Vlneente Gomia last December. Senor Gbmez at thu tine was acting president of tho republic, Inning been toft at tho bead of the govern-' ment by Castro when he salleed for Europe on November 23. The decision was rendered on a petition of the attorni*-* general who took the grounds for his plea the recen t amnesty decree of president Gomez which gave freedom to all prisoners at tho time of the overthrow of the Castro administration last December. Everybody under arrest charged with complicity in the attempted assassination was deported at the time. The alleged plot to assassinate acting president Gomes was nipped tn the bud by Senor Gomez personally on Saturday morning, December 19 last, when Gomeez went alone to the barracks in Caracas where a mutinous regiment under command of Castro's brother was quartered, arrested him and later proceeded to the executive mansion and took Into custody Senior Torres Cardenas, former minister of the Interior, who was said to have been one of the chief conspirators. Tbe men Teputed to have been concerned ln the conspiracy were president Castro's clos est friends, secret cable dspatches had passed between Castro, who was in Berlin, and his adherents in Venezuela and an, accusation was tiled in the high federal court at Caracas. Later an Indictment was found against tho former president and It was announced that if he tagjiln, Bet foot on Venezuelan soil he would be larrested an tied or the alleged offonse. Castro at the present time is In Spain. Rheumatism. More than nine out of every ten cases of rheumatism are simply rheumatism of the muscles, due to cold or damp weather or chronic rheumatism. In Buch cases no Internal treatment is required. The freo application of Chamberlain's Liniment is all that is needed, and it is certain to give quick relief. Give tt a trial and see for yourself how quickly it relieves the pain and soreness. Price, 28 cents; large size, 60 cents.

Brown of Hall Minus road, a won. The Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners meet tonight at 7:30 in Miners Union hall. There will be a meeting of the shara- hoders of the Lucky Boy Mining company at Kile on Monday next at 7 p. m. Miss J. II. Cunningham, who has been visiting friends In town for the past two weeks, returned to Cranbrook this morning. The topic for discussion at the meet'ng of the Young Peoples' society In connection with St. Paul's Presbyterian church next Tuesday evening will be 'The Power of the Tongue" and all members anil 'friends are requested to come prepared to contribute some thoughts to the discussion which should be highly profitable. The following excellent program will be shown at the Arcade tonight and tills afternoon. "An Awful Moment," a lino b'ograph film, "Dear Old Grandma", "Ideal Policeman," ".Mabel's Beau in Trouble," "Nature Faker." Miss MacKen- zle will sing at each performance. There will ihe a matinee for children today at 2 p. m. On Monday the steamer Kokanee will operate on her usual Nelson-Kaslo-Lardo service wlttli the exception that she will make an extra trip from Lardo to Kaslo, leaving Lardo at 7 a. m. This will make her arriving time ln Nelson three hours later than usual. She Will leave at 2 p. in. for Kaslo and wait over until 8 p. m. at that place before going north to Lardo. This will enable tlie people In tiie Lardeau district to participate In the celebration ut Kaslo. A number of service holt's on Baker street in connection with the water works system are in a condition dangerous to perestrlfins. A noticeable Instance of this is tbe two In front of Sutcliffe's clgan store where the caps to the pipes haVe fallen so far beneath the upper level of the sidewalk that persons passing along the street, especially at night, are in serious danger of having a foot caught and sustaining a serious fal or even breaking a leg. Tlie question is one requiring tiie attention of the water commissioners. A. B. Shannon and II. W. P. Webster have decide to erect a refreshment house on the land belonging to the former at Fivn Mile point on the north shore of the arm. The business will be managed by Mr.. Webster and will begin as soon as warmer weather penults of the opening of the boating season. It Is not his intention to apply for a liquor license, hut will serve ony non-alcholic refreshments. These, however, will be the best of their kind. Ice cream, strawberles in season and afternoon tea will be available every afternoon, patrons desiring more substantial fare may have it by either giving notice in advance or being content to wait awhile. Messrs. Shannon and Webster O'lieve that there is a good1 opening on ethe arm for that class of business. People who nre enjoying the delights of the lake will certainly rather stop ut a pleasant ibeach, than return to the e.ty and Walk up town to an hotel or cafe. ■Peru dale park at Five Mile will be opened May 24th. Light refreshments supplied. Dance pavilion ln course of erection, opened shortly. A. Fl. Shannon, proprietor, GL W. Webster, manager. 26-2 G to MEN!

A SHORT SERMON TO FAT FOLKS "To them that hath shall he given" is a sentence that applies to fat people very neatly, it fs common knowledge that once a human being begins to fatten up, to what they have already Is added more than they want until linally a stage is reached 'Where reduction must be made or decide,) disadvantage resuts. Then comes forward the ol-age query, "Reduce—but how?" To the uninformed nothing suggests itself but the (to them) tfin evils—less eating-more activity. They contemplate a more or less lengthy siege of dieting and exercising. So it may bo said safely that every man or woman In the land now undergoing the fuiteiiing- up process has his or her mental eye fixed .dubiously on that not far distant day when he or she will have to don the "asheB and sackcloth of reduction." This Is not an enlivening prospect, and so it Ib with considerable satisfaction that we announce the emancipation of the fat. Nowadaysoue may reduce much or little. a pound a day If desired, or hold their fat in cheek, absolutely stationary, without doing a tap of exercise, missing a single meal, doing a particle o fharm or causing a solitary wrinkle..
