Preliminary matters disposed of, tho clerk read a letter from Thomson Bros., Vancouver, re order for a city seal, and which had been cancelled. After explanation, Aid. Bradshaw and Nichol moved that tte seal be accepted, Thomson Bros to pay the express Carried. J. McB. Smith, deputy minister of finance wrote, sending statement of refund due the city under the Incorporation Act, as follows: "Refund of real i roperty tax, $147.59; trade licenses, $62,66; liquor licenses, $333.- 87; total $5*4.12. There may probably be a small amount of unpaid taxes on the roll of 1901, which, if collectible, a supplementary refund may be made." A cheque for the above amount was received by the clerk on Saturday. Mayor Yoik said there would be more money coming to the city under the real property tax, as ho knew of several who had not paid up. The government had also $600 liquor li- cense money to be returned to the city for the current term. Letter ordered fyled. The mayor called attention to M. Cameron's license for a livery stable, which had been issued by tlie govern ment and covering the full year. Accordingly, there wns a larger refund on the same due thc city.

Woodcock and Smith thai the offer be accepted. Ct.rried. A petition was presented from A. li. Bolderston and 18 others, asking for an extension of the sidewalk on Main street, from the Sloean Hotel to tin- Miners' Union General Hospital. Before entertaining the petition, the mayor thought it would be well for the finance committee to inquire into the state of the city's treasury and the probable cost of the walk. It would require an eight-loot walk and it sliou'd be put down at a recognized grade. The walk was neces sary, as well as one on Delaney ave, but it w .a a question of finance. The matter was laid over for a week, lite clerk in tlie meantime to write Frank K etcher and ascertain If tlie town site companv hadesta-blished a grade for Main street. Mayor Vork stated, in answer to a query, that the incorporation note had been paid during tlie day. Accounts were presented froiii: THB Drill, printing and advertising, $1C.10; \V.

The mayor then made A pleasing statement to the effect that he had had during the week two or three inquiries from the OUtslde as to what inducements the cltV had tP offer in the matter of getting a smelter established here, lie had been in Nelson and had approached Frank Fletcher on tho subject. The townsite company would do what thev could to furtner the scheme and they would grant a free site anywhere iu th" city, preferrably the waterfront in thc bn\*. The company would also givo tlio city a plot of land for a cemetery at any time. The mayor suggested also that the council should put in a stove in the council chamber.

ERIN MOUNTAIN TO BOOM. Ill-public and Phoenix Proiserties to be Extensively Worked. Great things appear to be in store for Erin mountain this winter and a new era of development and pros perity will open before that promising section. To the city itself the out come will be of material interest, as the operations in contemplation will have a direct bearing .upon local business interests. The Republic and Phoenix groups, botli of which have changed hands during the \ear, are to be worked on an extensive scale and will have machinery installed. On Saturday evening the Kepublic party left the city, after spending several days in visiting various properties in the camp. Tlie party consisted of F. P. Wilcox, C. A.'Hurl- hurt and F. D. Ilovcy, of Detroit; C. Dempster, Rossland; aud fi. C.Campbell-Johnston, Nelson. They thoroughly inspected tho Republic, as well as the Erin, Peerless, Phoenix and Combination groups on the same hill; the V & M and Champion, on Twelve Mile; and the Arlington. In conversation, Mr. Dempster stated it was the intention o1:' the Republic company to work on a large scale throughout the winter. His principals were well satisfied with their visit and were willing to expend mnch money. New quarters would be built at the mine and a big force of men employed, under the supcriu- tendency ofR. C, Caropbell-Johnstnn. A wagon road Would also be constructed from tin; old Springer road to the Republic, giving an easy ac cessthroughout the winter. 0,'cih- ti his would In: in full swing before tlie snow flies. Last week's official Gazette contained the certilicate if incorporation of thc Slocan-Republic Mining sx Derelopinent.Go., which will operate tlie Republic mine The capital stock is placed at 11,600,000, iu $1 shares, ami the company is licensed to do a general mining business. On Monday W. D. McGregor started out to run the lines and levels for the proposed wagon road, which, when completed, will greatly help all the properties on the lull. The Kepublic company evidently mean business. I'll.. Pboesilx. Press dispatches this week from Portland give the following self-explanatory particulars about the Fhoe nix, or Viking: A syndicaie of Portland men-tho Viking Mines Co., Limited—has Incorporated and purchased two valuable mining properties near Slocan City, British Coluni bin, The company consists of about, forty stockholders. About a year ago the company bonded the properties, and the results were so satisfactory that the claims were bought outright. Tito capital stock of the cor poratlon is $800,000, The lands are about fifty miles north of tho internal ional boundary line. The board of directors elected at organization is made up of 11.

The property Is about ii miles from Slocan City and ore can be cheaply delivered at Nelson or Trail by rail. The ore is a free milling quartz, assaying about •?10 in gold and silver. Belore Incorporation the company was known as the Viking Development Syndicate. It spent considerable money in exploiting work and the results were highly satisfactory. The property already has two tunnels nud one shaft, from which promising min cral has been taken. The purpose is to erect a stamp mill and reduction plant. The mine has an abundance of Water power and a large available wood supply. l"l si mi' Ili'ssko. On Friday a portion of the flume for carrying water to the Arlington .sawmill gave way, Just below the lumber camp. The water tore out the sidehill and flooded tlie road, ll took Frank Provost's gang several davs to repair the damage, the mill being idle in the meantime. Ilsiiilniiisin Its.t-ssrua. A. Vi. Teeter and it. Hutner have received partial returns from their, recent shipment to Nelson from the Fourth of July group. Thero was about 7 tors of ore shipped out and the smelter's figures show a net return of $112 to the ton. The smelter allowed only $0.50 for the gold values,-while the check assay on thc pulp showed $18.50. If they get thc balance, it will bring the total por ton to $121. which is mighty good. The Fourth of July is now being worked under a sublease by R.Kurtz- hals and partners. HOARD OP THA nro. The Institution Getting; Into Working .•"shape. A meeting of the board of trade was held in the Oddfellows' hall, on Friday evening, there being a fine turnout of members. President W. T. Shatford occupied the chair, and in his opening remarkscongratulated the board in starting off with such an excellent nu'mbership, the size of which augured well for the success of the institution. Thero was much to be done in tho interests of tlie city and cainp.and the board should seize the present opportunity, while general attention was turned to the re sources of the district, to secure a smelter and other valuable improvements. Working in conjunction with the city council, the board of trade could do a great deal towards upbuilding Slocan. Following these remarks came the reading of a coupe of communications from Greenwood, dealing with bylaws; and thc passing of some small accounts. Other routine matters incidental to organization occupied the whole evening. On motion the executive board was increased to 15, tlie additional members elected being T. McNeish, D. Arnot, Wm. Thomlinson, R. A. Bradshaw, J. G. McCallum, J. Holden, S. B. Clement, A. York, C. M. Gcthing, J. V. Purviance, J. A. Foley and II. L. Fife. Liter on Messrs.

Slowly the printed words appeared through the mist—tlie mercifnl mist— "Survivors of the Arikhama." And then the paragraph went on to tell this wondrous tale of the sea. How a sailing brig, nnder stress of weather, had found herself driven npon a rocky islet in the far Pacific, It was not an unknown is land, bnt an uninhabited one, being too far ont of the ordinary track of vessels and too small and poor in quality of land to make it worth while for any one to settle there. The sailing vessel, finding herself driven very near, pnt in to renew her stores of water nnd, to the astonishment of the captain and crew, discovered three men and" a dog in possession of the island. These were the captain and two of the crew of the ill fated steamship Arikhama, who, after drifting about in an open boat for many weeks and suffering nnheard of privations, had found themselves tossed npon thia faroff strand, which had been to them so long a living grave. Captain Conway and the two soamen were the only three men out of nine who had survived tho hardships and privations of that long and terrible voyage and the cruel life of isolation which followed. Then came a description of how the rescued men had lived. Penguins eggs, occasional fish and roots of various kinds bad formed their chief sustenance. The whole account ended with details of bow the three men had wept like madmen on meeting their rescuers, and the concluding sentences said "When we tell our readers that Captain Conway had only beeu married a few months when he set out on the Arikhama's last ill fated voyage, it will easily be understood that his anxiety to have news of bis wife wns overpowering. The captain and crew of the Lively Jeanie, however, were not able to satisfy him on this point, bnt tbey sail ed tbe following day for Melbourne, and Captain Conway will set sail for home immediately on arrival at that port." So she knew the worst, and wcrse than the worst could not be So all hei new found happiness hud fallen about her ears like a house of cards. All was at an end- She sat there, still holding the paper staring with wild eyes round the luxu riont room So ber happiness bail all come to an end Her radiant life was over She who had been for three bless ed years Alan Stacey's honored and de voted wife must be outcast—outcast1 She repeated the word over nnd over again to herself, as if to try by repot! tion to din its meaning into her bewil dered brain Conld it be true*' Yes That heading still stared at her—"Sur vivors of the Arikhama. " She bad read the account There was Edward Con way's name It was all true —too true And np stairs, ill and prostrate, lay the man who had come to be all the world to her. the man who had taken her poor and alone as she was, and made her the mistress of his heart and of his home And he was ignorant I Sbe would have to tell him—to tell bim that she was not his wife, to tell bim that she was the wife and not the widow of the man who had bought her with a price who had outraged her. who bad struck her. And he had told that story of how he had been only a few months married to • yonng wife I She wondered bitterly whether he bad told them that he had so far forgotten his marriage vows tbat he had strnek the yonng wife in those early days of their marriage T Three years—three years—three wholly bless ed years without one sad thought, with ont one harsh word, without one regret three years of pnre snd unalloyed hap pineas. Well, she wonld always have that to look back to. Perhaps she onght not to grumble or to be surprised that fate had been minded to tring her happiness to an end. It was like tbe regis tration of sunshine in London. Some people got a little happiness filtered out ln driblets over a long life of great dull nesa She had had three blessed years of glory, aud now tbe time wonld be all gray, like a London fog. Sho had regis tered three years of sunshine, and, like poor London, she must pnt in tbe aver age or mist and fog. She sat for some little time longer. indeed until John came to clear the table. Then, from some womnn's instinct of hiding the tragedy through which she was passing, she rose and carried tlio paper to the fire and stood there reading au account of the fancy dress ball given by the lady mayoress of London—aye, and reading it attentively They had been present thereat. Her areas was described—her dress and Alan's—almost side by side with the words which told of the rescue of the survivors of the Arikhama. Then John betook himself away, and she was once more left alone. Sbe formed no plans, her dazed brain refused to take in anything more than the stern and bare facts. Edward Conway was •live—oa his way home—eager and anxious to find her And she was here. In the old Fnlham house, masquerading to the world as Alan Stacey's lion- oted wife I And Alan wonld have to be told I Hs Wonld have to see the papers; he wonld have to decide where she was to go, what she was to do, how sbe could best hide herself from the monster wbo had Ugal right over ber. Sbe was still sitting there, When 11 strokes of the clock warned her that the morning was passing — when tbey Should bave warned her, for Mary did •ol wove from her place beside the fir« Then a smart housemaid came in with a message. "Please, ma'am, master is much better, and if you have quite done with' the paper he wonld bo glad if you would send it np stairs to him." CHAPTER XIIL THE BURNRD NEWSPAPRR. Mary's first instinct waa to carry the paper up stairs to Alan Stacey herself to break the news to him there and then But hard upon tho heels of this thought came another—that he waa but just over a very violent headache, and it would becTuel to tell him that moment She therefore whisked out tho middle page and gave the rest of tbe paper to the maid. "Tell Mr. Stacey that I will come np in a few minutes," she said. When the servant had left the room, ber first thought was how she conld best conceal that part of the paper from Alan. Then she ran to the door. "Alice, Alice, come back!" sho called. "Give me the paper I will go up to Mr. Stacey myself." But she did not go up at once Sbe turned back into the dining room nnd deliberately tore the sheet containing the telegram across, so that the corner where the account of tbe rescue of the survivors of the Arikhama had been was gone. This she threw into the-tire Then she went np the wide shallow stairs and tnrned in at ber bedroom door. "My dear boy," she said in a tone as mnch like her natural voico as supreme effort could make it, "I really don't think that you onght to be reading the newspaper, particularly lying down in bed. Let me read to yon." She eat down by the fire with ber back to the light Alan Stacey lay back among his pillows idly enough. "I don't care about reading, so long as you'll sit there and talk to me," he said lazily "Is there anything in the paper?" "No-o; an account of tbe ball last night, with our noble names in the paragraph. All the rest is pretty mnch as usual." Sbe glanced down the day by day column, gave him a list of all the items oi news that might in any way serve to interest him, and after that tbey talked for a little while, and then Alan Stacey said that he might as well get np as lie idling there, and Mary went down stairs again, carrying the paper in ber hand; carrying also her burden with her; carrying with her the knowledge and the conviction that he would have to be told; that she must be the one to break the news to him; that there must be no shirking it. no getting ont of it; that it was a task which lay right in front of her, a task which she must accomplish—and the sooner the better Then she remembered that if she told him Alan would naturally ask to see the paper containing tbe newa Bnt she had burned it I Sbe felt—so strangely are we moved by trifles in times of great difficulty—tbat she could not endure to let him know that her first thought had been to hide the truth from bim. Then how was she to account to him for having destroyed that part of the paper? Should she send out and get another copy f She did not like to do tbat, nor did she like to go herself—it would look so strange And then the thought came to her Why tell bim at all ? Why say anything about it? Why break np and destroy their intense happiness? Nothing could be wider apart than the lives led by Edward Conway and Alan Stacey's wife Why udmit that she had seen the news that part of tbe crew of tbe Arikhama had been rescued ? Jnst now. when Alan was showing signs of overwork and about to take a holiday, it would be cruel to deal him such a blow. A few weeks longer in her sunshine would make no difference to anybody but herself Alan would never know— Edward Conway need never know- that she had been aware all along that three men belonging to the Arikhama had been rescued off an uninhabited island in ths Pacific ocean. Why should she say anything? Why should she not at least let Alan finish bis book—the greatest book be bad ever done—take his holiday, and, if the blow fell then—why, be would be the better prepared to meet it It would be bad enongb if Ed-, ward Conway discovered bsr and tbe secret could not be kept any longer. Having this made np her mind to keep the news which had reached ber to herself, sbe acted immediately She destroyed the torn sheet of U» paper snd thrust tho part which remained carelessly into tbe rack with the other journals, trusting to ber own wit to keep Alan from wishing to look at it during the day. It was an off day with the yonng lady who typed to her dictation, so that she was free of any tie of work. She set herself to do some needlework in order that she might look occupied when Alan mode his appearance, and she sat near the window stitching indnstrionsly, while her mind went over snd over again such shreds of self justification as she could find to salve her conscience. She told herself that it was not as if she had gone into an irregular union with her eyes open. She bad truly and honestly believed hersolf to be Edward Conway's widow, and ber marriage with Alan was her real marriage. What was it tbey said? "I require and charge you both, as ye will answer at the dreadful day of judgment, when the secrets of all hearts sball be disclosed, if either of yon know of any impediment why ye may not lawfully be joined together in matrimony, ye do now confess it." Then came these • impressive words: "Those whom God bath joined together let no mnn put asunder." Surely, Burely, God had joined them; surely, surely, it had been by tho permission of God that such a blaze of pure and innocent joy and glory had come Into her life; surely she would be doing right to continue such a union. Tho most fanatical and bigoted lover of conventionalism conld never wish tbat she should go back to live the life of shame and degradation which had been hers during those few months after her first marriage—after that barbarous sale of herself into which she had been driven by circumstances absolutely beyond her control Alan Stacey came down presently, and when Mary noticed bow haggard and ill he was looking she thanked heaven that she had kept the news of Edward Conway's survival to herself. She exerted "erself in every possible way to please him, coaxing him to eat when lnnchtimo came and being seemingly in the gayest and brightest of spirits. But nothing served to rouse him from the dull depression which seemed to have taken possession of him. "I believe you ought to have staid in bed," sbe said at last as he sat moping nnd. shivering over the fire. "No; I'm better up," he answered. "The book is weighing on your mind, dearest " "Horribly," he replied, "horribly. I feel as if I should never finish it." "Oh, don't say that! You've been burning the candle at both ends. You cannot do this work and go to fancy dress balls at the same time. Why not let us slip away and finish it quietly somewhere? Supposing that we pack np and go to some quiet little place where we can work in peace and coin- fort, and after that we will go off on onr long holiday." He caught at the suggestion eagerly "That's a good idea, Mary," he replied; "that's a very good idea. You'll take little Miss Winnington down with you?" "Ob, yes, because there's a good lot to do yet Oh, yes, we wonld have her down there with ua Bnt the change, the fresh air, tbe sea, the restfulness, wonld nil be very good for you and wonld help you to finish it with half the effort ii wonld be if we staid at home Shall we go off at once?" "As soon as ever you like," he replied. "Where shall we go? Let ns try some part of Cornwall." "Well, dear, there's that little place that the Alec Dngdales went ta They said the inn was so comfortable and the cooking bo good and the littlo place so primitive and yet so sweet, and boating and fishing and cycling and all that sort of thing you could do in per- She threw it Into the firs. lection Don't you think that wonld do for us?

NERVE OF ENGINEERS IT DOES NOT, AS A RULE, DESERT THEM AFTER AN ACCIDENT. Desperate Clianrea tho Man at the Throttle Will nt Tlmea Take Without Hs'Iiik Able to Give a Sntlafac- tury Keaaon I'or Hla Aetlon. "I have been often asked why railway engineers disregard their Instructions nmi the warning signals along the i.ne of their rond," said the general superintendent of a railroad to a man, "and I have summed It up that it is human nature for men to take chances ln their business and that engineers are no exception to the general run. "Sometimes they cannot give a satisfactory reason why they do so. I will give you an authentic Instance of this habit which made nae live 10 years In oil minutes. "On a road I was at the time connected with was n long trestle over a bay several miles In length, with a drawbridge In the center. The draw had been opened, and as a tugboat was passing through the bridge men heard the rumble of u fust, heavily laden passenger train as It struck the bridge a mile away. Knowing that the red danger slsiuils were set with the opening of the draw, tliey supposed that the engineer would slow up or stop, us might be necessary. Instead, to their consternation, the train came along nt regular speed, and a frightful accident appeared Inevitable. Tliey yelled to the captain of the tugboat to go at full speed, nud a's the boat glided through the draw In the darkness tliey exerted themselves to swing the draw Into the locking bolts before the train could get to the point where tbe rails separated. "Tbe engineer, however, disregarded the last danger signal, a few hundred yards from the draw, and came on. By a remarkable coincidence of time and position the draw, which was of course In motion, swung so that the rails of the east bound track were In juxtaposition with the west bound track, upon which the train was running, and the heavy engine and one of the passenger coaches, striking the east bound rails, glided upon the draw and stuck there, the remaining portion of the train being on thc west bound track, making almost a figure S of tbe coaches. "If the draw bad moved the thirtieth part of a second faster or slower, the east bound rails would not have been opposite the west bound rails at the very Instant that the great engine struck tbem, and a frightful disaster would have resulted. When I got out on the bridge*a few minutes later, I fully expected to find the train In the bottom of the bay and the draw smashed Into splinters. I discharged the engineer on the spot and asked him why be bad not observed tbe signals. He admitted that he saw them, but could not give a satisfactory reason for falling to observe tbem. He evidently took his chances of finding tbe draw closed wben be reached it "The engineer of today Is a sober, steady, nervy man. especially on tbe fast express trains on the big roads. It Is nerve that makes one man carry a limited express train through the darkness of the night, fog, sleet and blinding snow at 00 miles an hour. The stories we read about of an engineer losing his nerve after nn accident are largely fiction. In 27 years of active railroad life I have had but one or two men apply to me for a transfer upon tbe ground thnt tbelr nerves had gone back on them for running the fast trains. "I have had meu wbo have been flung (SO feet over their tenders In a head on collision and bad a do-ten bones broken come to me after they bad been discharged from the bospltnl and ask to be put back on tbelr old run. Yon see. tbey begin firing wben they are about 18 or 20, and tbe cab of an engine la their home. If tbey run Into a person or a wagon load of people on tbe track, If It Is not their fault, tbey take a practical view of It; they have ta If It Is tbelr fault, we discharge them, and tbey can take any view of It they please then, for wo do not wish In our employ careless men. Tbls Is true with all of tbe big roads, and as a result American engineers of today are about as model a aet of men in •'heir employment aa can be found." LATE SENATOR ALLAN. "fTa-laa-a Rot Waatesfl.

His lifo, und thut of his father, Hon. IVillnini Allan, who diet! in 1853, cover tho term of lhe wholo history of Toronto, Mid, indeed, of tho Province of Uppor Cun- nda, or Ontario. Tlio books of biography say that Hon. William Allan "was a pioneer settlor who took up his abode in Vork during Governor Slmcoe's term of ofliee," thnt is soma timo between 1702 and 1790. lie was the first postmaster and tho tlrst custom collector in York, now Toronto. In the Canadian archjvos of 1898 Mr. Douglas Brymner has copied a letter, probably written about the year 181*7, designed to express the popular discontent at the monopolization ml all the public offices by a few families. Tho letter, which was anonymous, was addressed to Lord Bathurst and dated at Montreal in August-(no year), and purported to give the experience ol an Oswego man who visited Toronto and met lion. William Allan at every turn. Tho story is in theso words: Tho following very pleasant story was related to nie a fow days t go by an acquaintance on whoso veracity 1 placed confidence. A gentleman crossed to York from Oswego; on arriving at thc littlo capital he Mi- quired for the custom house as be had some goods aboard to enter at that office; he was shown the place hard by tho qua*y. Thc collector proved to be a very mild, good-nnturod gentleman as might bo; quite a man of business, too, very conversant with figures, in short a man very well known on 'Change, as tho saying is, he was Mr. William Allan. On opening his trunk Mr. Z. found some of his letters were to be left lit tho postofflce of York; he inquired whero it was located end in tho postmaster recognized—Mr. William Allan. He had somo bills which he wished" to discount, had them properly endorsed, posted off to '-he Bauk of Upper Canada,-was shown the President of that institution, and that president was tho indefatigable — Mr. William Allan. A day or two after ho was accompanying n friend, who had come t« town to pay some money for a store and tavern licenses; on arriving ut ihe office of Inspector of Licenses, lie was amazed to find that functionary also in the person of Mr. William Allan. A review of tho militia took place while ho stayed; he had thc curiosity to go to see it, nnd recognized in tho colonel his (now) old acquaintance — Mr. William Allan. A row took placo in the hotel whore he lodged, his evidence wus wanted, and tbo acting magistrate was —Mr. William Allan. Taking up a paper to amuse himself, be read the names of the society for strangers in distress. the treasurer was — Mr. William Allan. Walking with a friend to tie hospital, he was told tho nnmos of the trustees; one of them wns — Mr. William Allan. lie happened to overhear a debate nbout a property which had been forfoits*d by u. man who ran away in thc time of war; tho names of the commissioners were mentioned in tho course of tho argument, and ono of them was — Mr. William Allan. Another dny ho met a friend from Niagara in doleful mood, inquired tho cause, and was Informed that the commissioners for war losses had cut cd half his clnisn. Who are the commissioners? ashed he of Oswego. Thu reply was A. PL, (J. D. and — Mr. William Allan. Ho sold some of his goods to a merchant, who gave him an order en tho treasurer of thc district. Thu treasurer was — Mr. William Allan. He had occasion to inquire for a black chip hat and wus directed for a good ono to apply at the store ol —Mr. Willaim Allan. Ho could hold no longer, but amazed, astonished and confounded, exclaimed: How 1 pity tho poor mnn, this Mr. William Allan, if he docs tho duty of so many situations his life must surely bo a burden to himself, and If he does not how I pity a country, tho laws of which allow ono man to holsl such a number of important trusts at one and the samo time.

' ,y*" This, Mr. Brymner says, i* no doubt a fair sample of tho method of criticising the actions of tho ml- Ing party ln tho Province. Tho fnct appears to have been that William Allan was a man of moro than w- dlnary ability, and possessed a good education, which was an advantago rather uncommon in those ci-rly days. He morriod a daughter of Dr. John Gamble, who belonged to & prominent U. E. Loyalist family, and had been a surgeon in the Queen's Hangers. Thus ho was qualified to perform the many varioties of work which fell to hts share. Tlie son inherited the father's ability and fondness for public life, ond had in addition a largo fortune, which the growth of the city rnd country had brought to those who were fortunate in the selection mi ■ acquirement of lands. It cannot bs said of Senator G. W. Allan that he was a grasping man, adding dollar to dollar aud acre to acre. Rather he appears to have been one who felt that his wealth and position involved a duty to the country, and especially to the community In which he lived. Thus ho won and retained the respect of his contemporaries, and his name will be hold in h**nor by coming genorntlons. The population of Berlin hu trabled within 80 years. Shrewd.

It Is Not a Stimulant But a Tonic Tou Need Hosts of people do themselves irreparable harm and shorten their lives by many years by thc use of stimulating drugs to whip up the exhausted nervous system and keep the machinery of the body working. Others get temporary relief from nervous headaches and body pains by the use of deadening and nerve-destroying narcotics. Both of these treatments mean death to the nervous system and hasten the approach of paralysis and insanity. Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is a protest against these old- fashioned and villainous methods of treatment. Unlike any other medicines you ever used, Ur. Chase's Nerve Food forms new red corpuscles in the blood and creates new nerve tissue to replace that di stroyed by overwork and disease. It is impossible to obtain a more effective treatment for nervous disorders than Ur. Chase's Nerve Food, because it gradually and naturally restores the wasted nerve cells and rebuilds the system.

BADLY RUN DOWN SYMPTOMS THAT MAY LEAD TO SEUIOUS RESULTS. The Experience of Thomas Cada, of Essex Co.—Nerves Seemed Shattered, and He Felt Unfitted to Stand Hard Work. From the Iteview, Windsor, Ont. Mr. Thomas Cada, of Plko Creek, a small village in Essex county, is known to almost everyone in that section. Ho is a son of Mr. John Cada, mill owner, and a prominent politician in his locality. A representative of the Windsor Review, who had known that some time previously Mr. Cada was in poor health, recently met him looking anything but an invalid, and naturally asked what had restored him to health. "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." promptly replied Mr. Cada. When asked if he would give tho particulars for publication, Mr. Cada said "certainly, if you think it worth while; but there is nothing very wonderful about my case. I was simply badly run down; my netves seemed to bo all shattered, and I was unable to stand hard work. In fact, work of any kind left me badly used up. There did not seem to be any organic trouble, it wus just a case of being run down and worn out. I felt myself gradually getting worse, however, and I began taking medicine. I tried several advertised remedies, but they did not help me, indeed somo of them did mo more harm than good. Just then I read of a case much like mine cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Tink Pills, and I purchased a few boxes. Very soon I noticed a do- cided improvement in my condition and iu the course of a few weeks 1 was feeling my old-time self. 1 can now eat heartily, do a good day's work with no unusual fatigue, and in fact feel thoroughly renewed in health and strength. Naturally I think Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a great, msidicine for those who are weak ssr ailing." If you are feeling run down and eusily tired, you need a tonic to put you right—to make you feel bright, active and strong, and the only always reliable tonic is Dr. Williams' PlnU Pills for Pale People. (live these pills a fair trial and you will find that their curative powers have not been over-praised.

There Are Thoesaitda of Them In the Indian Oeean. If yon should want nn Island—that Is, an uninhabited island—for tbe purpose of occupying It alone, Robinson Crusoe like, or to use It for romantic llctioti or for nny other purpose, to the exclusion of all others ln the world, you need have uo trouble lu finding one If you see lit to make a Journey to the India 11 ocean. In the waters between Madagascar and India you can Ilud more than 15,000 of them, where there Is not a human being nnd where you can, If you will, be monarch of all you survey. An English traveler has recently been nmong the small Islands that dot tbe western end of the Indian ocean to make an Inventory of them and reports that he counted 10,100 and fouud only about GOO of tbem Inhabited. Now, there Is a truod chance for any one who mny want an Island. These particular islands are not large, ns Islands go, but very ninny of them are sufficient for lliu purpose of n Uob- inson Crusoe or nny other novel hero or for even n small colony of ship- wrcclicd mariners or olher persons who mijrht he enst on one of them or seek for the purpose of ma king n home pretty much out of the busy world.

INFANT MORTALITY. 11.11. IIANNA. Qeu. Bank GBO.H.BHAW/ Two*. Her Many 1'eaths Largely Due to Ignorance on the l'art of Mothers. Ths* disorders of children seem to the ru^gsjd and hearty grown persons to be simple and not particularly dangerous. This point of view on the part of parents has been the cause of the loss of thousands of baby lives. You will always lind that tho mothers who are successful in bringing up families of hearty, happy children with scarecely a day's sickness, are nlways those who are careful to note tho slightest evidence of illness and to chock tho difficulty at once. They do not belong to the class of mothers that stupefy their children with sleeping draughts and similar medicines containing opiate's. Tliey stick to tho purely vegetable, heulthful medicines which cure infantile disorders quickly, and of these Baby s Own Tablets are the bs'st of all. For colic, simple fevers, croup, constipation, diarrhoea, irritation when teething, indigestion and sleeplessness, these tablets are a quick, effective, nevor-failing cure. Dissolved in water the smallest baby will take them without the slightest objection. Do not trifle with medicines concerning which you know nothing, when here is a time-tried remedy which is used constantly and wilh the best results in thousands of Inline:;. Mrs. H. II. Fox, Orange Ilidge, Mun., says : "I have found Baby's Own Tablets a perfect medicine for children of ull ages, and would not be without them In the house. They are truly a baby comfort and mother's friend." Baby's Own Tublets can be found at drug stores, or will be sent, prepaid upon receipt of price, L'.*i cents, by addressing The Dr. Willinms Medicine Co., Dcpt. T., Brock- ville, Out.

SHERLOCK HOLMES, JR. another One of Hla Aatonlablna; Do- meatlo Disscoverlea. Sherlock Holmes, Jr., clutched his companion's arm and in low, distinct tones said: "Hist, hist!" "Why?" tbe other asked, looking around, mystified. "There," the great nmnteur detective replied, pointing nt a middle aged man who was crossing the street just ahead of them, "Is one whose wife went away last night to rest iu some nice, cool, quiet place, leaving bim to stay at home and get his own meals." "Is he some friend of yours?" "1 never saw hiui before. This Is merely another of my astonishing deductions." "Holmes, yon are a constant source of wonder to me. I can't convince myself that yon are not possessed of occult powers. You must have second sight or something of that kind. I am getting so that I almost hate to think wben I am with you, fearing that you will know what I am thinking about." Sherlock gave bis shoulders a slight shrug and continued in a careless way, as if it really didn't amount to much: "No, I am not supernatural. Honestly, I wouldn't lie to you about a thing of this kind. It's merely my wonderful gift of deducing. I ought to have mentioned, too. that he gets his meals on a gas stove. Now I wiU tell you how I know all this, because I see that yon want to find out Notice, please, that he twists his mustache np at the ends and tbnt be shaves regularly. A married man wbo bas to get bis own meals right along when his wife is st home soon lets his beard grow, partly to save time and partly because he gets discouraged and doeBn'* care to keep on looking handsome. So it is clear that this man is his own cook only temporarily." "But how do yon know he is his own cook, tbat he uses a gas stove and tbat bis wife went away last night?" "Ab, there is where my deduction scomes In. You see, you didn't notice when he passed us that his eyebrows were singed off. That tells the whole story. He turned on the gas and then looked for a match. A man always does that when ho starts to get his first meal, but never afterward." "This is wonderful," said tbe man who bad been listening. "Come in and bave a cigar." While lighting bis pnnatella at the swinging gas jet tbe great amateur de- tctive got to thinking of something else and singed off the south end of bis left eyebrow, nfter which he went out to look around and make more deductions.— Chicago Record-Herald.

After a bitter struggle of four . years, during which timo its owners experienced much hardship and some notoriety, the Silverton Silvertonian ceased publication on Saturday. It is an indication of the barren formation the newspaper fraternity of the Slocan is up against. .Socialism and Anarchism are classed as one antl the same cult these times, both being1 held responsible for the assassination of President McKinley. Bah! There is quite as much difference between the two as between peace and discord, love and hatred, gentleness and vlolence,8aui- ty and insanity, preservation and destruction, or a Huskin and a Czol- gosz. One ism tend-* to build up a nation, the other to destroy it Agitation for the establishment of . a smelter here is having the desired effect. Mayor York has had two inquiries from responsible outside parties, asking for information on the subject. Thc city stands ready to do everything in its power to encourage the location of a smelter, nnd the townsite company will givo a free site. That la a good start, and it is being helped out by the constantly increasing ore shipments from tin: di vision. So much capital is becoming interested in the camp, and the demand for dry ore is such, that it is a certainty influences will be brought to bear to make Slocan a sjnelting •centre, The need is great and the opportunity favorable. Despite the sanguine hopes held ,out last week for his recovery, Pros jdent McKinley sucoumbed to the wounds indicted by the anarchist Czolgosz. It is a hard blow to the American nation, which, for the .third time in 40 years, has to mourn ior a murdered ruler. President McKinley lived a blameless life and died in a fearless manner. Not even Abraham Lincoln had a greater hold on the affections of his people. The two great Anglo-sSaxon peoples have each passed under thc rod of national alHiction on the threshold of the new century, and a common sorrow has served to strengthen tho bonds of friendship and goodwill between them.
