The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000. The Ledger was published by the Ladysmith Publishing Company, which also issued the paper under two variant titles: the Daily Ledger (April to July, 1905) and the Ladysmith Ledger (September to December, 1906).

How Officials Now Regard The; Tragedy, The Evidence of Doctors Vancoaivor advices received by mail so at,variance with that of Mrs. ��������� ' Jones in respect to what the latlci regarding the Jackson poisoning case 'Joncb "' ' contains thc following: Unraveling ot the knotty mysteryt of the Jackson poisoning case is now occupying the attention" of the police .department: The officials have been awaiting, to a certain' extent, at least, the result of thc iitn'iiest.'-Now j that the ii%iiry is coniplcte anil the' jurors ha-ve deeddpd that the deceased came to his death q(/ the ad.m>iaiistra-: tion of poison by some, person or ; persons uiiknpwn, the affair, (rom an investigating standpoint, is turned altogether into the hands of the detectives. * No secret is made of the fact that for some; time since the death of tho u ii Tort una te mining man the, authorities have regarded ��������� the case as one of .murder The officials regard the vorclict of tbe coroner's jury as one "alleging nuinler, mvd the problem now is to decide anil prove who was the party who cfummilleil the. murder. . It is fact that the jurors last night 'discussed the question as to whether they should include, the word "wilful," in their perd'et in describing the manner invvhich the po-ison said she had told Dr. Riggs upon his arrival at the house. Dr. Riggs said that on the day hc was called- to the house, he had considered, that a great many of -Mrs. Jackson's actions would conform to hysteria, although hysteria would simulate almost any type of disease. Dr. Riggs also ������������������'.stated ".that when pumping out the stomach of Mrs. Jackson he had not'noticed'anything strange coming from it save , a green slime,; which might have been caused by Mrs. Jackson having swallowed mustard and water. Dri Young, ..who.arrived at the Melville street, house; just is-.Jackson died testified that he could not find anything in the. symptoms of Mrs. Jackson that would lead him to believe that- she had taken anything that would cause her death. ., No arrests have been made so faj-, and it is not likely that, any developments of the kind will fake place within the next few clays. In view of the" testimony of the medical men an interesting feature is connected w'it'i the question of wheth er Mrs. Jackson took poison at all or whether the kind she'took Was MONSTEP SHARK KILLED By Vancouver Mill men-- Weighed Four Hundred Pounds strychnine, which caused the death of was administered; but at the time "j, the proposition of the deceased hav ing committed suicide was not con-' sidcred within the range of ppssibil-! ities. | The most important testimony given at the iintfic'Kt, was that, of Drs. Young and Rig^s, who won; calkd to attend the Jacksons on that fatal Sunday morning. Dr. Riggs tes-1 tilled that so far as he. knew no poi-' son existed whivh could have caused I thc sysmptoins he noticed in Mrs. I Jackson when he readied the house. er husband.

STRIKE IS IMMINENT Calgary Postal Clerics Expected to Go Out at Any Time It Must be Voted on by the Pub lie Before it Can Be Completed As there has been some discussion people being,robl>ed of their heritage, following the application for a charter to install lights in Ladysmith that was made by private parties a couple of weeks -since, and as there has been trouble on the minds of a few of thc progressive and highly enterprising \iitizeris who slate that they neither want the city to put in lights nor see a charter granted to a corporation or individual, for fear thai thc moving spirits in the light installation might make a "rake-ofi" it is, perhars, just as well to allay their fears by stating that the council has practically- decided that as their term jias so nearly expired, they think it-would be wise to let the incoming council deal with the matter, although individually they all, w th the possible exception of Alderman Blair, think it best to grant, a charter under reasonable conditions. , The Alderman named still hopes to see the city install a plant and does not favor a company 'obtaining a Iran chise. On-this pomt Aid. Blair is em ineiitly right���������that it would be best for the ciiy to install its own lights for it could, in such case, n:akei far better jro\ision for street lighting than under other conditions. But if the' voters will not allow this to be done then certainly the council should grant a charter to a company.

We quote section 01 of the Munici' pal Clauses Act, As will be seen, a council can not grant a charter except, by the consent of the voters, so there is very ������������������������������������little ..danger of the and if a majority of the voters so desire they can defeat any charier given.
