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).

Richu'dson, the eighteen year'old wife of William Richardson, married last April, hanged herself in her own home during the absence of her bus band, who is a well educated Englishman in the employ of the Winnipeg Gas C'Oi-npr.ny. Mrs. Richardson tied a rope to tlie knob of the door of an upstairs room and passing the end over the top o the door, tied it around her neck on the other side of the door, so as io suspend her body with her feet six inohesv off the floor The body was fomnl by her husband, who returned for luiich;on at noon. Mrs. Richardson appeared before Magistrate McMickcn on a charge of attempting to commit suicide on ��������� Inly 7 by taking carbolic acid. It was through the influence of her hus- oand that she was freed. The husband made a statement today that his late wife, who was extremely handsome, was broken-hearted be-, cause of ha\ ing brut in trouble in Fort Arthur, Out., before he marri- ?d her. When she appeared before the magistrate recently she told him that she wan led to die because she was not gioori enough Tor ;her husjbiaiitl A peculiar coincidence with the. sui- eide is that a man named William Richardson, who was employed in the city ((iiarries died in a mysterious manner duriiiu- (.be night. He was found dead this morning by the keeper of the boarding house where he litcd. Other men roormed with him but did not know that Richardson was dead when they left the room logo to breakfast. It could not be learned whether he was a relative of the husband of the woman who committed suicide.

RITHET, & Co., Ltd SUNDAY EXCURSION Continued from page Two ed to obey, however, is well worth study as an example of the facility with which the fundamental laws cf the country may be modified, without the great majoiity of the people affected being any the wiser. It will be remembered that some years ago the province of Ontario passed a law forbidding steam lioat excursions on Sunday. The privy council has since found that that law was ultra vires in Ontario, but it is, nevertheless, the amazing fact that a fragment; of it has ljecn successfully imposed upon British Columbia without British Columbia's knowledge or consent and that that fragment is still in force. It was found that Ik: Ontario law while it properly forbade excursions between Ontario ports, could not touch international excursions and the consequence was that the people of a prov iice which had declared against the invasion of its own waterfront towns on the Sabbath by its own people had to submit to the same infliction at the hands'of American steamboat companies. To put. an end to this state of affairs, the I local authorities invoked the aid of the federal government, which issued orders (hat exclusion slcameis coming '#\ from tho United Stales on Sunday should no (..be given clearance paipers until Monday. As such boats could not stay overnight, this put an end to the nuisance most effectually. Now, it happened that about (his time the Rev. ���������). G. Shearer, the sec retary of the Loid's Dav Alliance, visited Riilish Columbia and iound that the regulation which was ,m foice in Ontaiio bad not been heard of out here.

Nominally, (lie gatherings al. which this action was taken were public assemblies. As a matter of fad, (hey weve attended only by the people in I errs ted in thewoik oil lie alliance, people who may have been light or wiong in their views, but who had no mandate to legislate for their neighbors. Their efforts were succcsslul and (he minister of marine issued msiMictions to the customs officers beie.similar.to those .in force in Onlaiio. It thus came about that by -the co-operation of a department at Ottawa and the Lord's Day Alliance, a law which had never been, put on 1 he- statute books of either (he province or (he Dominion was successfully rn- foiced on people, the generality of whom were ignorant of what was gping on. Moreover, the operation of the regulation here was more sweeping here than in Ontario. Thai pio- vince had already put, an end Io local excurisons and merely asked, amj quite properly, since it was the^ish of the people expiessed in their own legislature, that the Dominion authorities would help them to enforce their own law. Heie, where the people had enacted no such law, not only were intcinat..onal excursions rlopped as-in Ontario, but; then own local excursions also.- As we said belore,' the prityepun- cil has since found the Ontario law unconstitutional. f Nevei thelcss, ,JV stretching of the powers of an Ottawa department, that law, or at least pan of it, is successfully invoiced in British" Columbia today.
