NOTES FROM THE MINES Items of Oeneral Interest From the Coal Center. H. F. Mrrtln irai la Fernie a tew days this week on business. We are pleased to say Mrs. W. H. Moore will soon be around again, and with health restored. H. Simmons, accountant at tbe company's office here, went to Fernie Wed- r.esday with the pay roll for February. Owing to the strike, the pay will be very small. T. Huber, stable boss here, went to Blatrmore Tuesday to visit C Armstrong who ls laid up with rheumatism at tbe springs. A local uulon meeting was held last Sunday by the miners at the C. P. R sheds. Divine service was held In the school house Sunday evening by Rev. Stoney. Rev. Connor preached In A. Hamilton's house. Miss S. Lemond left here on Saturday for Plncher Creek, where she will reside In future. Mr. Wardrop of Hosmer, was here Saturday on a visit. Fritz Bichor, the company's genial bntcher, gave a farewell supper 10 his many friends here at the Club bouse on Friday evening. A goodly number were present and a very enjoyable evening was spent by all. Filtz departed today for Wausau, Wisconsin, where he will be married. E. A Brown, chief engineer for the Coal company, was up to the mine on Monday, He left for a vacation to fpokane Tuesday, via the Great Northern. We are pleased to announce the birth of a son to Mr. and Mrs. Dr. W. H. Wilson at their residence Tuesday. A great kick Is being raised by some of the men here because they cannot get what time is coming to them until the regular pay day. In fact, some of thi m are nearly destitute, and say they have had no meat for nearly two weeks. One young man wanted his time to en ab'e him to get to another place of work, but as he had no money, be could not leave. He had had nothing to eat for two days then. These Instances are among the nonunion men, who hate only been at work a short time. If the atrlke keeps up there are some nonunion families who will suffer greatly. Again tbe company's loss will be cor. - sllerable In unpaid store bills by some met having left camp altogether, and It ls likely a lot of credit will have to be riven by the new store company when the mines open up again. The poor ye will have always with you If strikes continue. Change In Railway Circles. Tbe Miner stated some three weeks ago tbat there was likely to be a change in superintendents on the Crow within a short time, and with the change would come promotion for the present superintendent, R. R Jamieson of Cranbrook. This prediction is soon to be fulfilled, as on April 1 a new division will be established on the main line with headquarters at Calgary, and Mr. Jamieson has been offered the general snperln- tendency of It, which will also Include the Crow. He has accepted tbe position and will leave to assume lis new duties toward the end of this month. Mr. Jamleson's departure will be the source of much regret to every man in bnstness along this entire line, and also among the railroad boys working under him. He Is held In the highest esteem by all who know him, and that esteem has been won by the exceptional abilities and pleasing personality of the man. A strict disciplinarian, yet never hasty In rendering a decision, the hovs on the road soon learned that a conference on the carpet had but one ending —a just and Impartial settlement of all difficulties. As a token of the regard in which Mr. Jamieson Is held by the business men of Cranbrook, the board of trade of that town will give a banquet In his honor, the event to take place within the next two weeks. Mr. Jamleson's successor on this line will be J. G. Taylor, now supetli- tendent at Brandon. Mr. Taylor Is no stranger to this division, having occu pled the position of chief dispatcher at Cranbrook at one time, while four years ago he was agent at Elko. His ability as a railroad man may best be judged by the rapid advancement he has made during his comparatively short service with the company. The Strike Situation There ls nothing new In the strike situation In this district. Conditions remain unchanged and the whole province ls suffering the consequences of a strike that might have been averted had " little foresight and tact been displayed by both parties to the question. The commission appointed by the mining association ls now in session at Fer nle, and delegates from the different unions have gone In to give evidence. | Up to the hour of going lo press noth ling bas been given out as to ihe prc- < ceedtngs of the meeting, and in the meantime an anxious people are hoping for a speedy resumption of work at in. .coalmines of the Crows Nest oonntry WILL BE BIG PIECE OF WORK The Great Northern Cutoff to Jennings. SUBCONTRACTS GIVEN 0. 0. Foss Visited the Scene of Action Out Did Not Take a Section on the New Road. WORK WILL COMMENCE AT ONCE G O Foss. of the contracting firm of Fosb & McDonell, returned to Morris' sey last Frldiy after an extended trip to Minneapolis and other points in the east. Mr. Foss went to Minneapolis to confer with a party of capitalists who own some promising mineral properties in Arizona, and was to have gone to the latter place to report on the probable cost of a narrow guage railway from tbe mines to the smelting site, a dls tance of 30 miles. The plans of the company failed to materialize, so the trip to Arizona was not made. Ou the way home Mr. Foss stopped over In Kallspell, to size np tbe situation on the Great Northern cut off from Columbia Falls to Rexford, which con. ttact bas been let to Stems & Shields of St. Paul. The subcontracts were being awarded while Mr. Foss was In the east, and he could have secured one for his firm had he cared to take it, but as their large outfit Is a Canadian one, and as the United States government's lowest valuation on horses ls $100 per head, with a duty of 33 1-3 per cent, this In connection with the duty on the balance of the outfit and the transportation charges In getting It on the ground, would have Incurred too great an expense for the amount of work In sight. Speaking of the extent of work on the new road, Mr. Foss said that the estimates for the 70 miles places the dirt excavation at live million yards, while the rock work will run well over five hundred thousand yards, but this estimate Is quite liable to run far short of what tbe actual amount of work will be before the road Is completed. As com' pared with the present main line the grades on the cutoff will be comparatively easy, the maximum on the east side being only 13 feet to the mile, with 3 degree curves, while that on the west side of the divide will be about 37 feet, wi'.h 4 degree curves. Two tunnels, one large one elghi hundred feet long, between Loon lake and Wbiteflsh, and a smaller one of three hundred feet, a snort distance east of Rexford, will greatly eliminate the grade, and although the distance between Columbia Falls and Jennings will be 17 miles greater by the new line, It ls said that the running time of the new overland fast exire.s will be reduced an hour and a half between these points, while the tonnage of the freights will be correspondingly Increased. The construction of the line has been alloted to eight subcontracting firms, and four thousand men are wanted at once on the work. What the pay will be for the different branches of labor has not yet been published. The work will last approximately two years, and as the road runs through a heavily timbered country, a dense forest will have to be cut off of the right of way. At present the contractors are devoting their entire attention to gathering together their men and equipment, and establishing their headquarters. The weather conditions are such, bowevc, that work can be started any time now from either eud cf tbe cutoff. But the forty miles of tbe interior can not be touched for some time yet owing to the unusually heavy snowfall tbis winter. Alex Lupfer, who will be engineer tn charge of tbe work, has now taken up his headquarters In Kallspell. The subcontractors and extent of their work, commencing at the Columbia Falls end of the line, are as follows: Grant, Smith & Co., twelve miles; James Cochrane, six miles; Twohy Bros., six miles; William Winters, fourteen miles; Porter Bros., five miles; Wrenn & Greenongh, eleven miles; Jones & Co., three miles; Pat Welch, thirteen miles. In addition to Porter Bros, work, they have secured the en- tire contract for the constrnctlon of the many bridges along the line. Coch rane's contract Includes the big tunnel, the approaches to which alone will nee. essltate the removal of forty-three thousand yards of dirt and rock, while Pat Welch captures the smaller tunnel three miles eait of Rexford. While tbe cutoff joins thejennlngs- Morrlssey branch at Rextord, seven miles south of tbe International boundary Hue, headquarters for construction on tnls end will In all probability be located at Hayden, four miles noith of Rexford, from wiilch point, owing to i tbe nature of the country, wagon roads can be constructed to much better advantage. AlthoiiL'h the time for the constrnctlon of this line ls set at two years, Mr. Foss states as bis belief that tbe work can be accomplished by the flist of August, 1905, by working day aud night shifts on the tunnels, and this will probably be done, as the Great Northern and also tbe contractors, in view of otter extensive railroad work, are arx 1 ius to finish this job as soon as 1 ossicle. The people of Kallspell are naturally greatly depressed over the damage which this cutoff will inflict to the town. as it owes it present prosperity, In a great measure, to the fact that It is the headquarters for the mountain division of the Great Noithern. Ontbecthtr ham' Columbia Falls citizens are jubilant now that the line ls assured, as they will get tbe offices and shops. What will be done with the present main line when the new road ls In operation is a matter of conjecture, but as it traverses a section rich In timber and agricultural resources it Is supposed tbat the line will be used locally for several years to come, at least. An Enjoyable Dmico. One of the most pleasant dancing parties of the winter was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Haessler at the mine last Monday evening. The music was very good, and consisted of an orchestra of stringed instruments from Fernie, while tbe large dining room afforded an excellent opportunity for lovers of the light fantastic. An excellent lunch was served at 12 o'clock after which dancing was again the order nntil a late hour, when the guests departed, with many wishes for a repetition of the pleasant event. (,'iite a crowd had arranged to go from this place, but owing to the miniature blizzard which raged tbat night, only about half cared to undertake the drive In the storm. Those who attended from Morrissey were Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Stephens and two children, Miss Buxton, Miss Beatrice Roi.n. Miss Til- lie Nomeland and Messrs. McDonald, Higbye, Johnson, O'Connor, K. GUI', Martin, Paquin, H. L. Stephens, Far- rell and Rnckendorf. Prootor Again Manager. Nelson News: T. G. Proctor has again taken up the management of the Kootenay Valleys company, with which he has been connected for several years. The company's land principally lie In East Kootenay from Canal Flat to the International boundary in Tobacco Plains. Many of these lands are now on the new line of the Great Northern railroad from Jennings to the coal fields of the Crows Nest district. It ls the company's Intention to sell these lands to Intending settlers upon easy terms so as to Induce the early settlement of the valley of tbe East Kootenay. These lands are well adapted for mixed farming, grazing and fruit raising, and the timber on many of the lands make them a valuable acquisition to the purchaser. Tbe advantages of a good supply of wood and water and the nearness to good local markets will no doubt be an inducement to many who do not like the prairie life. E. K. Beeston wbo is associated with Mr. Proctor tn this and other business, will bave charge of It during Mr. Proctor's absence. The Kootenay Valleys company own the townsite of Elko. Good Words for Dr. Wilson. It Is now being whispered about that Dr. Wilson, of Morrissey, may be the Liberal candidate for the local house In the Fernie district. The doctor ls well known, and ls one of the most popular men In the coal region of South East Kootenay. There are men up in that part of the country who swear by the doctor, and If he would consent to make the run, he would make a whirlwind campaign. Personal popularity is a big thing In politics, and "Doc" Wilson is wonderfully well endowed In that wav.—Cranbrook Herald. Looking for Water Power. J. M Zeller of Canton, S, D.andG. C. Henderson, of Belolt, Iowa, were in the district last week looklngover water powers. They visited Bull river falls and also Elk river. They were very much impressed with the latter, which they visited with Thomas Crahan who, in company with H. L- Stephens, holds the water right. It is possible that something may be done by these gentlemen, aa they appreciate the fact that water power will be a big thing within a short time In this district.—Cranbrook Herald. TJ. B. R. E. Strike The strike of the U. B. R. E. that started at Vancouver ten days ago has now spread as fnr east as Winnipeg, and will probably involve the whole system before a settlement is effected. A few days ago it looked as if the difficulty would be adjusted, but now it is announced that it will be a fight to finish. The basis of tbe strike is a demand for recognition for the order by the company. There is no dispute over wages or hours, but it is announced tbat tbe officials of the C P. R. refuse to concede such a recognition, hence the walk out. As vet It ls confined to clerks and I freight handlers, but It may extend to other labor organizations connected , with the company', ARE BLOCKADED Heavy Rains Make Trouble On Both Lines. SLIDES ARE NUMEROUS No Train On the Great Northern and the C. P. R. Is Delayed for Four Days. WILL BE SERIOUS MATTERTHIS SPRING The mild weather and heavy rains the nrst of the week has created no end of trouble on both the Crows Nest and Great Northern railways, and Morrissey bas been virtually shut in from the outside world, so far as mall and transportation facilities are concerned, since last Tuesday morning, with the exception of the service on the west end of the Crow. Tuesday night a big snow slide came down over tbe Great Northern treck a mile below town, and covered the road to a depth of fifteen feet. The slide ls nearly a hundred feet wide, and came with such force as to cross the K.k river and completely dam the stream. The swift waters of the Elk, however, cut through the snow before any damage was caused by the backwater. Two smaller slides between Morrissey and Elko have also covered the track to a considerable depth. A large force of men are at work clearing the line, but It Is hardly possible that there will be a train from the south before Monday or Tuesday of next week. The slides are composed of snow, with no rock and very little timber, and no damage has been done the line, but the wires are down, and there ls no communication with headquarters. The Crow has fared even worse than the Great Northern as a result of the rains. The passenger last Tuesday was the last through train from the east, as Wednesday's train struck an immense slide near Crows Nest, and had to back In to Macleod. The track Is not yet opened, and passengers for the west on the snow bound tratn are being cared for by the company at Macleod. A gang of ninety men are at work clearing away the snow, and today, Friday, It is expected that the passenger will be gotten through late In the afternoon. Tee road is open from Fernie to Kootenay landing, and a local passenger service ls In effect between these points. Ail mail matter for the east ls being sent around by way of Revelstoke and the main line. The character of the country around Crows Nesl, which is a gumbo formation, makes the slides a difficult problem to contend with, and this temporary suspension of traffic Is but a repetition of what has occurred each spring since the Crow has been built. If two days' warm weather and rains can so effectually tie up both railways In this section, It is difficult to imagine what the outcome will be when the rainy season sets In, and with the unusually heavy snowfall of the present winter. JUST A FEW REMARKS The rise In lead means that prosperity will take possession of the district for the coming year. It means the opening of the lead mines, and in consequence the operating of every lead stack In the province to the fullest capacity. That means that coal and coke will be iu greater demand than ever, and for this reason it is to he hoped that the strike iu this district will be settled without unnecessary delay. The coal mines of Morrissey, Michel and Fernie should be In full operation right now, and every day's delay means so much more disaster to the district, the coal company and the men. With the resumption of lead minlrg and the great growth In the lumber Industry, South East Kootenay should experience the greatest year In her history. Every town will grow, and every man engaged In business In the dlstilct will make money if he Is a rustler and attends to business, British Columbia will make greater progress the next two and three years than she has ever done, and any man living In this province, will have reason to feel thankful of the privilege. And speaking of British Columbia reminds us of the necessity of a government that will be a government for the province and not for the Individuals of the cabinet. For years British Columbia has been tho laughing stock of the Dominion. A rich field for Speculation, her governments seem to have been easy prey for the designing corporations. Ministers have looked for personal favors lather than public weal. Itiws hive beo- i asb«3 for the benefit of corporations that have placed extra burdens upon the people, and even now tbe spectacle of a government scheming to bold effice rather than legislate for public good ls presented. What British Columbia needs ls a responsible government made up of men am stale - men, Instead of tools and dutnmlesi British Columbia should be prosperous, and tbe right kind of legislation will go a long way toward contributing to sucti a result. And speaking of legislation bilogt to mind the rumor that Mr. Buchanan of Kaslo, fa zora giving the coal reserves of this district to the C. P. it. At least It Is Intimated that he sanctions such action and will advocate surh a measure at the meeting of the associate! boards of trade at Fernie next week. Tbat may be all right for Mr. Buchanan; but God pity the delegate from E.st KootenHy who would have the nerve ti take such a stand. Tbe people of this district tbluk It ls about time id give them a chance, and they will not stand for any more monkeying. The Cranbrook Herald has some nice words for Doctor Wilson of the Murrt* sey mine, on the presumption tuat he U a possible candidate for the local house: The Herald may be a little prematura iu Its statement as to the doctor's pollt leal ambitions, as we have not heard fiat be ls figuring that way. Uu', there Is one thing sure, If be would conclude to come out in the opening as a political candidate, he would make any opponent jump sldewlse. "Doc" ls well known and well liked, and what Is more would make a strong representative. And now comes the rumor tbat Chrll Foley, whose political aspirations have been shattered In other parts of the province, will again enter the arena and take up the cudgels In defense of the labor ticket In this district. Foley* may be a capable man, but the representative sent from the Fernie district at the next election will be a man whose interests are In common with those of the people, and who will 'nbor for the advancement of the district as a whole: There ls good timber among our iwn people, and the politician will hsf 6 fid more show than a rabbit at tbe bottom of a 20 foot well. Cranbrook Is all stirred Up this *eeH over an hypnotist who is working hi* black art upon tbe people of that town. For 48 hours lb: week he had I man Id an hypnotic sleep In the show window of one of the leading stores, and hundreds of people gazed at the uncanny sight with awesome fear. The opera tor displayed wonderful power, but when he got hold of a Fort Steele man, and tried to make him believe he lived on a railroad, even his wonderful powers proved futile. The man persisted In declaring he was riding In a stage. We see that Editor Smyth of ihe Moyle Leader, has been discussing single blessedness In public debate. Smyth ought to be ashamed of himself. He should be a noble example to a lot of -■tags In that town, and Instead of decrying the happiness of married life,- should be spending his spare moments' In beating carpets ajid rocking a cradle: He has still time to reform, and should take advantage of It. The Cranbrook people are going tej banquet Superintendent Jamieson be* fore his departure for Calgary, where he will assume the dntles of general superintendent. Our old friend Bert: Beattie has been chosen to preside over the meeting, and with him In the chair it is safe to say that the event will be » success, as In the people of Cranbrook he will be supported by the best bunch of banquet givers In tbe province. And then, in this Instance, they are honoring themselves In doing honor to a man* tike Mr. Jamieson. Meeting Did Not Materialize. The meeting to be held Wednesday evening in the Australian hotel by C. M O'Brien of Fernie, organlzir the A. L U., did not materialize, owing to the Inclemency of the weather and the fact that there was no train from Fernie that day. When the meetlrg" wi1! be held is not known at present. More Work On Contract. Foss & McDonell, who have the con* tract for removing an Immense ledge ot rock and putting in tbe foundations for the coke ovens at the mine, expected to* finish their work this month, but hare received another contract from the Coal company. The new contract calls fjr the removal of several thousand additional yard's of rock, and will keep the outfit busy until' tire first of May; and possibly longer. Bridge At the Boundary. After many months of delay, which' meant all kinds of trOAble for the pro-' pie living in the Valley at the boundary, the government is preparing to replace* the Elk river bridge that washed out last June. It haa been a shame end i disgrace to neglect a matter of such Imf portance for so long a time, but the people of th»t section have reason to be thankful that they are going to get «a# bridge, even at t\n let* d»*e £. ..... . ....;.,,:.;.; ... .... ....... .../<^ey'e^.lfAi.».^y^.ee^.}.m<»e,^.ie.^.y..e....H..f^ * ■ • • • <? ■»»»»»-»»» ♦oe»e»»»»rv'ky»'t»'»k>vs>»»»»s>»s>»a»»o»«»»»»«^» Ten Years'Trial i The Story of a>.

Tbo fnstnnt action of oflleers present ■topped further hostilities. Nathan lent I.angdon to bll quarter* In arrest uml his company clerk to work. Charge* nnd specifications ten page* drawn out were preferred. No piea i\ns lisieneti tn. a court was ordered In due aeason, and it hud no alternative. <in n still October evening tne order that day received from Washington was formally read t<> the command, ami next morning when the department inspector bad tlieiu all out for an early review lie. without whom reviews seemed hardly complete, looked Badly en from a far corner, a practical* Iy ruined man. But there were friends to go with him to the station after his brief interview witli Melville—noble hearted Mel- ville that day—May ami W'oodroiv and others of tlie hoys, Iiesides some scores of "hoys In blue" who Inn! slipped away ami were bent on giving their pet lieutenant a porting cheer, ami there was nn Incident that became historic. The railway station was like all far western stations of those days, an ordinary brown frame building with projecting roof overhanging the platform and a broad, open apace nt tlie gable end, ami here It was, in the presence of half a dozen officers ami quite it swurin of citizens ami "hoys In blue" off duly, the memorable rencontre occurred. The instant t'aptaiu Nathan stepped from his handsome carriage, wllh the whistle of tin* express already sounding far down the Pawnee; he found himself confronted hy Langdon, wbose dark features took on no flush of the wrath that consumed htm, hut whose ereel ami slender form, patent in Its athletic proportions even through tlie simple civilian suit he wore, quivered from head In foot. It was vain for Nathan to (lodge. The words came like the stiii1; of n whiplash: "YOU are no longer my superior officer. Nathan, and there's only a moment lo say my say. four language nt (he cliih this morning has been told ue. Now hear my reply. Today we stand, you In the pride of your wealth nnd power, I with tlie world to begin again. Mure than to any inuu In the regiment 1 owe my troubles to you.

All I have to say Is that If Cod spores my life before ten years pass our places shall be reversed—you will be nt. the bottom, 1 ut the top. Now you may go." without so mueb ns a peep at his Imposing companions or a touch of the cup to blm. The magnates were vast- Iy interested lu the dashing riding of the party nnd In May's beautiful thoroughbred and asked questions concerning them which only ndded to Nathan's keen sense of humiliation and defeat He couldn't reach May, for that young gentleman was Melville's ndJutaDt and kept bis mount In his own little stable In rear of the bachelor quarters. But Woodrow was poor and rodo a battery saddle horse, aud that evening at fitu- blcs the captain sent for blm and, with cutting emphasis, Informed him that Ibe order permitting officer* on temporary duty with the light batteries to use a public hor*' applied only to occasions of drill, parade or proscribed ex- ercise. "No olllcer In my battery, sir." tie concluded, "can he permitted lo use my horses to scatter dirt In the face* of my guests and to race Impudently past the battery commander without a salutation of any kind." Woodrow stood ut attention, sainted, waited a moment and said, "Anything further, sir':" to which Nathan responded, "That's all, sir." And then as, with another punctilious salute, the Bubal- tern was nbout to turn away the Idea that had been uppermost, the sting ami humiliation of the stOFU'Dg clamoring for expression, forced from Nathan tbe very words Woodrow W'as longing to hear uml that lie lost no time In rushing off delightedly to tell to hi* fellows at the club: "There Is oue mat- query, "ls It true you called for 'three cheers for Lieutenant Lnugdon, tbe best officer In Battery D'f" •True a* shoot lu, Borr," was the prompt reply. "(!o to your quarters In close arrest, sir." said the colonel, and without tbe qulvr of n muscle of his sun tanned lace the Irisbmuu spun on his beel and stalked out.

He had made Inquiries as to the amount In which Langdon was Indebted to tbe mess and to the establishment still maintained nt the edge of the reservation by tlie descendants of an old time post trader. When, therefore, be stepped from his stylish carriage as the footman sprang down and opened the door, he was startled and shocked by the apparition of Langdon himself and stunned speechless by that bitter denunciation.

The rush of the Incoming train released him from the humiliation of his position, ns the meu swarmed about Lnugdon, eager to clasp his band, while the captain, friendless and alone, hastened to Ihe rear Bleeper to meet the mugnates. To lend them to bis carriage he was compelled to return through a throng of his own men just as the train began (o move, aud a stentor of a sergeant shouted, "Three cheers for Lieutenant Langdon, tbe best officer of Battery D!" whereat, with lusty lungs nnd swinging caps, the soldiers shouted again and again until tbe train slipped away round the bend under the bluff, nnd not one of their number hnd so much as n look, much less a salute, for the captain. It was no time to resort to discipline then. "I'll flx 'em for this when I get 'em back to barracks," he swore to himself, but the sorest hearted, bitterest man to'return tbat morning from (be railway to tbe post was be who rplled homeward Iii bis cushioned chariot, with llverlod retainers on tbe box and untold wealth beside him. It chafed blm, too, that Woodrow, May and other young officers should gallop past him on the homeward way 'Three ehecrs for Lieutenant Latujdon!" tor you need to be warned about and one that, should It come to the ears of the commanding officer, may yet subject you to arrest and court martial, your prominence lu thut riotous, even mutinous, demonstration nt tbe depot Ibis morning. Wheu officers nnd men conspire to cheer a person dismissed lu disgrace from tbe army, they attack the administration aud are guilty of gross Insubordination. I shall not report the occurrence myself because ol my known antagonism to such characters ns Mr. Langdon, but you'll be most fortunate If the colonel does not hear nf It." Now, Woodrow had taken no part la Ihe cheer—that was a matter confined almost entirely to the enlisted men— but he had no objection whatever to Nathan's believing he did and would have openly rejoiced bad Nathan preferred charges against lllm. It would have been bliss to disprove them. As for tlie captain's angry rebuke based upon the ostentatious disrespect with which the party of subalterns bad charged past his carriage on the up hill drive, Woodrow had no defense to offer. It was u boyish ebullition on Ihe spur of the moment, May having led on with n "Come ahead, fellows! I'm not going to trail behind Hint dashed pawnbroker," ami the rest having impetuously followed. P.ut It was done, and their regret* were on account of the regiment, not for Nathan. It was bail form, as they owned, to show to civilians contempt for a brother officer, no matter how much they might feel It. These episodes growing out of Lang- d m's departure; were tbe talk of the cluli and Indeed of every household on I lie post the rest of the week. The Inspector general could not help bearing tliein. but said not a word. Tbe colonel commanding was a sorely perturbed man. He felt that if he did not punish somebody—do something to vindicate the good order and discipline of his command—there would be a rap from department headquarters, possibly from Washington, and this was more than a candidate for the star of a general officer could contemplate with equanimity. He excused himself tbe moment dessert wns over at Nathan's dinner party Hint evening nud, though It wns after tattoo, began an Investigation of tbe affair. A dozen of the bat- tciymen and all Ihe Junior officers present at the station were summoned to the adjutant's office, nnd In live minutes he bad the facts. There was not the faintest attempt to equivocate or dissemble. Lieutenants May, Wood- row, Spnrrowe and Le Due said they lieu id the call for three cheers, and May enld that, though he didn't shout, he swung bis cap and bad all the appearance of It. He disclaimed nny disrespect for tbe court, the reviewing authority, tbe president or the post commander. Mr. Langdon wns his best friend. He was sorely distressed at his dismissal, and he did come within nn ace of cheering, only he knew Lnugdou himself would have disapproved. The colonel used some rasping language, In tbe course of which as a cavalryman he reflected on the sense of subordination and discipline that did not appear to prevail iu tbe batteries, thereby antagonizing every gunner at the post, and then, dismissing tbe officers with no little asperity In his reprimand, he summoned Sergeant Knucey, an Irish Idol In Battery D, and whirled on him with tbe stern | Tbe Professor, the I.Hdr und (he Cost.

When HIS Vlujr.iy Was In <:«.,.,.!» U« Was Lkikkkiimi. Among the mass ot anecdotal matter rcrululcd by the recent coronation of King Edward VII., Canadian sportsmen are Interesting themselves in reminiscences of the luck of skill us an angler displayed by tha King when, in tho course of his progress through the Dominion in 1H0O as Prince of Wales, he visited some of tbe best lishiug waters of Canada. The late Senator Price took, tbo Prince on a trip up the Saguenay to Ste. Matgiietite Uiver, tho present preserve of the ,St». Marguerite Salmon Club, uud then, as now, noted for tbe ubuudunce of Its salmon and trout. A few small trout were, how- over, all that the whole party could boast of. Mr. Price hooked a large salmon for the Prince and gave it to him to land, but his attempt wua not successful. The Prince hud not had sitlllcient practice in salmon-fishing to enable blm to kill a largo Ash. The official historian of the tour notes that "it was not for the want of advice; there was plenty of that. Everyone called out what to do, and, as a mutter of course, everyone suggested a different mode from everybody else, so that His Highness was bewildered, and tbe salmon proved the truth of the old proverb that 'In a multitude of counsellors there is safely,' and, breaking the line, got clear awoy." King Edward has occasionally angled for coarse fish In Scotland, but has never made any reputation as an angler, though it was recently stated on the authority of Lord Knollys that upon one occasion bo really did kill a 21-pound salmon In tbe*rweed. lie bas a reputation ns a successful hunter, especially of large game, but he is almost the only member of the British royal family who is not also an enthusiastic und fortunate angler. Many Cunadian fishermen can testify from personal observation on tho Hestigoucho und Cascapedia BiVer* to tho clover angling ol tbe present Prince of Wales, and of bis aunt, tho Princess Louise, Marchioness of Lome, now Duchess of Argyll, the favorite sister of the King. The cottage built for her on the batiks of the Cascapedia Is still standing, and the pool in which she killed her largest salmon still bears her name. It was while visiting her In Canada that the present Prince of Wales and his late brother, the Duko of Clarence, proved to the Canadian anglers their skill, with the fly rod. The Prince of Wales has, indeed, been called the angler-ln-chief of the royal family, and both in dexterity and luck be recalls his late uncle, the Duke of Edinburgh. Queen Alexandra is well known as a keen disciple of Izaak Walton, and often fishes for salmon In Scotland with her daughter, the Princess Victoria, The Alexandra fly, which has been called after her, is so deadly a killer on some of the Old Country streams thut'its use on many of them bus been absolutely forbidden. This remarkable Hy was not, as sometimes supposed, invented by the Queen, but by Dr. Hobbs. It was originally known as the Lady of the Lake, and tbis name was abandoned for Its present one because of tho success obtained with it by the then Princess Alexandra. In America it is less known as a salmon fly than as a successful lure for large trout. In fact, it may not properly be railed an artificial Hy at all, being Intended ns a vague imitation of a minnow, and it was originally intended to be cast and played minnow fashion just below the surface of the water. Ils coarse, green hackles partly enclose a bright, silvery body, glimpses of which are given to Ihe fish by allowing the line to run with the current and then drawing it up stream by short, sudden Jerks, which open and close the hackles. In this country, where salmon are not taken in fresh Water by minnows or other live bait, as in the Drltish Isles, this imitation Is not so much affected by salmon fishermen. King Edward's daughter, the Duchess of Fife, ls devoted to angling, and spends much of her time at the sport, accompanied by her daughters, while tbe Duke Is away deer-stalking. Fishing Is the favorite amusement, too. of the little sons of the Princa of Wales, and they wore recently quite proud of their ability to send a brace of trout of their own killing to tbe King, and another brace to their own parents.

The elite of the town were there, and so was the governor of the state- -occupying one of the boxes—whose rotund face was suffused with a halo of mirth during the whole entertnininent. The audience promptly notitied Mark by the usual sign—stamping—that the auspicious hour had arrived,, and presently the lecturer came sidling and swinging out froiu the left of the Btage. His very manner produced a generally vociferous laugh from the assemblage. He opened with an apology, by saying that he had partly succeeded iu obtaining a band, but, al the last moment, the party engaged backed out.

If—(Spec- ; ial)—Mr. R. Uoulanger, Secretary i and Treasurer of this town is num- j bered among the most prominent and : highly respected citizens of the coun- try. j Time and again he has been honored by appointments to ollices of public trust, and there is no man in our community who commands the universal respect and esteem of all classes of citizens more than Mr. .Uoulanger. Those who know him well are aware that for somo time he was very ill, and they also know that he was restored to good health, but many of them may not be aware of the means used by Mr. Uoulanger in accomplishing the wonderful recovery which he has been fortunate enough to bring about. Dodd'fl Kidney I'ills cured him and he has made this fact public in a grateful letter, which reads as follows : "I desire to say that I was "completely cured of Kidney Disease and Urinary Trouble by Dodd'e Kidney Pills. "I was so bud that 1 was obliged to urinate often, with much pain. They have relieved me of the pain nnd the results in every way ure satisfactory. "I think it is prudent for every family to keep them and use them." When ii man of Mr. Boulonger's Standing puts himself on record so frankly and positively, there can be no doubt hut that he has experienced all and more than he states in his letter. Dodd's Kidney I'ills have now permanently established themselves as an infallible remedy for all urinary trouble, and the closing words of Mr. Boulnnger's letter are nn advice which every household should observe.

Some MlMlukcn lu AVhlcb the Moon, Sou and Wind Figure. The moon proves a terrible pitfall to most writers. Wllkle Collins onoe per- formed the marvelous feut of making it rise lu the west. Rider Haggard, In "King Solomon's Mines," relies for the effective rendering of oue of his most thrilling scenes upon an eclipse of the new moon. Coleridge plnced a star between the horns of the crescent moon, forgetting thut to be visible In such a position the star would have to bo between the earth nnd tho moon or, suy, 230,000 miles away only. Next to tho moon perhaps the sun Is responsible for more glaring errors than any sluglo concrete ouuse. At the beginning of a certain famous novel, tho title of which a few years back wus in everybody's mouth, un Invalid character's room was said to have been lighted by one window looking directly towurd the east. Yet at the end of the book, when the invalid dies, the author, wishing to make him de- part this life in a flood of glory, suffuses this eastern windowed room with "the red glare of the setting sun." Klngsley, too, made one of his heroes row out Into the eastern ocean after the sotting sun. Hut even this glaring absurdity has beou capped. In a novel published by a well known tlrm there occurs the following passage, the scene being laid ou board a big sailing ship: '"How's the wind';" asked the skipper. 'Bast-northeast,' replied the mate, glancing at tho masthead pennant, which wns streaming blithely in the direction Indicated." So that In the world, according to novelists, we should not only rind the sun netting In the east, but pennants would "stream" against the direction of the prevailing wind.

"A person absolutely without sleep for nine days will die." says a writer i:i AiusU'e's. "Kuft'erers from insomnia sometimes maintain that they have gone for weeks without sleeping, but it has been proved that they do slwp without being aware of it At a certain point sleep is Inevitable, no matter What the bodily condition, the alternative being death. Prisoners have sh-pt o:i the rack of the inquisition. And the Chinese found that only the gnntest ingenuity uud vigilance eould carry ont a sentence of death by sleep- Iccsura*, This mode of capital punish* KUT.t was long In favor lu China nnd is said to he so today, while as n form of torture deprivation of sleep Is considered one of the most efltcaclooi weapons in the Chinese judicial arsenal. In some such cases the prisoner is kept in a cage too small to stand up or lie down In and constantly prodded with a sharp rod. Death by starvation, also a Chinese punitive method, is a slower process and therefore, one would think, more calculated to appeal to the oriental mind If It were not that death by sleeplessness is thought so much more painful. In the latter case the brain Is the lirst affect* ed of all the organs of llie body, while In case of starvation Hie brain longest retains Us normal weight and character. "A corresponding mode of taming wild elephants is laid to be depriving the aniniabi of sleep when lirst caught. In a few days they become comparatively spiritless and harmless. The brain of the elephant is held lo be more highly developed than that of any other wild animal, but of course as compared with a human brain can he easily fatigued by new impressions and so made very dependent on sleep. The wild elephant in his native jungle, however. Is said to sleep very little—a further point for tbe theory of tbe universal ratio of sleep to Intelligence, A man taken out of bis habitat and placed In conditions which he never could have imagined—if transported to Mars, say—would doubtless need an extraordinary amount of sleep at lirst. There is the almost parallel case of u German boy, Casper Ilauser. who up to the age of eighteen was kept In one room where he had no Intercourse with human beings or sight of any natural object, not even the sky. At eighteen he was brought to Nuremberg and abandoned in the street. For the tlrst few mouths of his life among men he slept almost Constantly and so soundly that It was very hard to wake blm."

The curious fact was noticed with the greatest astonishment hy Harvey, who. while treating a patient for an abscess that caused u large cavity lu his side, found that when lie put his lingers into the cavity he could actually take hold of the heart without Ihe patient being in the least aware of what he was doing. This so interested Harvey thai he brought King Charles I. to the man's bedside thut "he might himself behold aud touch so extraordinary n thing." In certain operations n piece of skin Is removed from the forehead to the nose, and it Is stated that the patient, oddly enough, feels as If the new unsal part were still lu his forehead und may have a headache in his nose. In the Same Situation. A funny story Is told about n physician nt Monroe City. A resident of the town set out shade trees for the doctor. A short time Inter the physician was called to intend the mother- in-law of the man who had set out the trees. The old lady died, nnd the physician presented his bill. After paying It, the citizen thought of the trees nnd made out and presented a hill for them. "But the trees died." protested the doctor. "So did my mother-in-law," retorted the other man.

Which tbe In- babllunts Must Observe. Far up In northern Holland among the dikes and canals of the little kingdom iies Broeek, tbe original Spotless Town. The palings of the fences of Broeek are Bky blue. The streets ore paved with shining bricks of many colors. The houses are rose colored, black, gray, purple, light blue or pale green. The doors are puinted and gilded. For hours you may uot see u soul lu the streets or at tbe windows. The streets and bouses, bridges, windows and barns show a ueatness and a bril- iluucy that are absolutely painful. At every step a new effect Is disclosed, u new scene is beheld, us If painted upon the drop curtain of a stage. Every. thing ls minute, compact painted, spotless and clean, in the houses of Broeek for cleaning purposes you will liud big brooms, little brooms, toothbrushes, uquu fortis, whiting for the window panes, rouge for the forks und spoons, coal dust for the copper, emery for the Iron utensils, brick powder for the tloors und even small splinters of wood with which to pick out the tiny bits of straw In the cracks between the bricks. Here are some of the rules of this wonderful town: Citizens must leave their shoes at the duor when entering a house. Itefore or after sunset no one ls allowed to smoke excepting with a pipe having a cover, so that the ashes will not he scattered upon the street. Any one crossing the village on horseback must get out of the saddle and lead the horse, A cuspidor shall he kept hy the front door of each house, where It may be accessible from the window. 11 Is forbidden to cross the village in a carriage or to drive animals through the streets. In addition to these established rules It is tho custom for every citizen who sees it leaf or n bit of straw blown before his house by Ute wind to pick it up nud throw it into the canal. The people go filio paces out of the village to dust their shoes. Dozens of boys nre paid to blow the dust from between the bricks In the streets four times an hour. In certain houses Ihe guests are carried over the threshold so as not to soil the pavements, At one time the mania for cleaning in Broeek reached such a point that tlie housewives of the village ueglectcd even their religious duties for scrubbing and washing. Tlie village pastor, nfter trying every sort of persuasion, preached a long sermon, in which he declared that every Dutchwoman who bud faithfully fulfilled her duties toward Qod in tills world would find lu the next a house packed full of furniture nud stored with the most various anil precious articles of use and ornament, which, not being distracted by other occupations, she would be able to brush, wash and polish for all eternity. The promise of this sublime recompense uml the thought of this extreme bnpdlness filled the women with such fervor and piety that for mouths thereafter the pastor bad tto cause for complaint Around every house In Broeek lire buckets, benches, rakes, hoes and stakes, all colored red, blue, white or yellow. The brilliancy and variety of colors and the cleanliness, brightness and miniature pomp of the place nre Wonderful. At the windows there are embroidered curtains, with rose colored ribbons. The blades, bands and nails of the gayly painted windmills shine like silver. The houses nre brightly varnished and surrounded with red ami white railings and fences. The panes of glass In the wintlows nre bordered by many lines of different hues. The trunks of all the trees are puinted gray from root to branch. Across the streams are many little wooden bridges, each painted ns white ns snow. The glitters nre ormimcnted with ti sort of wooden festoon, per forated like luce. The pointed fn- cades are surmounted with n small weathercock, n little lance or something resembling a bunch of flowers. Nearly every house has two doors. one In front nud oue behind, the last for everyday entrance and exit und the former opened only on g?eut oeea slons, such us births, deaths ami mar- riuges. The gardens nre us peculiar ns the houses. The pnths are hardly wide enough to walk In. One could put his arm around the flowerbeds. Tbe dainty arbors would barely hold two persons sitting close together. The little myrtle hedges would scarcely reach to the knees of u four-year-old child. Between the arbors und the flower beds run little canals which seem made to float paper boats. They ure crossed b.v miniature wooden bridges, with colored pillars and parapets. There are ponds the size of it bath, which are almost concealed by lllllpiitian boats tied with red cords to blue stakes, tiny staircases ami miniature kitchen gardens. Everything could be measured with the hand, crossed ut n lenp, demolished by n blow. More over, there nre trees cut in tbe shape of funs, plumes and disks, with their trunks colored white nud blue. At every stop one discovers n new effect, u fresh combination of hues, n novel caprice, some new absurdity. The rooms nre very tiny and resent hie so tunny bazaars. There are porce lain llgures on the cupboard. Chinese cups and sugar bowls on and under the tables, plates fastened on the walls, clocks, ostrich eggs, shells, vnses. plules. glasses, placed In every' corner ami concealed in every hook, cupboards full of hundreds of trifles nnd ornaments without name, it crowd Ing disorder and utter coufusiou of colors.

The weather has been something abominable the past week. A small sized bl surd held the boards Sunday and Monday, and Tuesday a change Id the weather brought a heavy downfall of rain, which continued until Wednesday night. Then by way of diversion another heavy snow storm set in and ls still at It, with no hopes for a let np lu sight. Truly, the weather in Morrissey at this time of the year ls a wonderful Institution. Great preparations are being made to receive the delegates of the associated boards of trade at the meeting in Fer nle next Wednesday Owing to the present depression In business over tbe entire province as a result of the coal strike, the attendance will be unusually large, and much good ls expected as a result of the meeting. A big banquet will be tendered the visitors at tbe Hoy- al hotel In the evening. The Morrissey board of trade will not send delegates this year. There is talk of getting up a hot banquet to be held at tbe Australian hotel In tbe near future, which, iu lieu of a more valid excuse, will be pulled off un. der the name of the "Old Timers Love Feast." There Is great timber among the Knockers club to make such a meet' log a bowling success, and as there are a few good members in Cranbrook who hare signified their readiness to attend, a most enjoyable time could be looked for in the event of such an entertainment. A. C. Dempsey and G.C. Mackay, two business men of Rosslaod, were in town last Saturday and Sunday. The gentlemen are making a trip through this section of the country with a view to locating and engaging in business, and expressed tbe belief tbat Morrissey's future promises to be a bright one, notwithstanding the fact tbat tbe strike has cast a temporary damper en business in this district. Messrs. Dempsey and Mackay left Monday for points further east, but expect to return to Morrissey when the strike is settled and conditions are more favorable In this part of the country. Allen Farrell, the mascot of the Knockers club, has offered a reward of 30 centt for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the par ties that touched him for his trunk the first of the week. Mr. Farrell says tbe last he saw of the trunk was In the Australian hotel office, and ls confident that there are more than one man mix. ed np in the deal, as the trunk contained a couple of hundred bricks which were put in as a surprise party to Landlord Stephens, In the event of Mr. Far- veil's departure from town. The gentleman's many friends wish blm a speedy recovery of tbe missing article, and lu the meantime have constituted themselves Into a searching party to assist him In locating the trunk.
