description: The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune.

The duke of York has been snowed up at Ab- ergeldirnains, near Baiiater. He went there owing to the fleeting spell of spring weather, duriug the month, for the salmon fishing; but the weather changed quickly to Arctic cold, and a heavy snowstorm cut him off from communication with the outer world. It will be days before he is liberated. Queen Victoria has giveu two additional instances of her womanly feeling this week, which have a very pleasing impression in southern France. While outdriving at the beginning of the week she overtook a peasant's walking funeral and had no room to pass. The mourners stopped and stood aside, but the queen requested the cortege to proceed, and her own carriage followed respectfully at a walking pace for half a mile, until the roads diverged. Again, while driving through Nice on Wednesday the queen passed a child, which was crying bitterly. She ordered her carriage stopped, and sent a member of her suite to. inquire0 the cause of the child's distress and give it a few coius, which had a magical effect. The little one's face brightened up, and the queen, smiling, remarked : "As long as nothing serious is the matter, 1 thought a fe…
