1t seem that the Columbia e.
Kootenai Navigation Co. is at its
old tactics. At least we are led to
believe as much by reading late
Nelson papers. These papers claim
that since the Spokane and Aims
worth are pulled off Of the Lake the
Nelson treats her enforced patrons
in a high handed manner. Exor-
bitant charges are piled up against
passengers and shippers. The cit
liens Of Nelson are talking of char
tering the Kaslo for their winter
business. The Nelson's days of do
ing a cinche business are numbered.
Two new boats will be launched

They lost their love for the Steamer

tried to divert all business by way
of the Columbia River route where
they own all the steamers.

The Bonner House under the
management of H. P. Green is do
ing a very successful hotel business.
Old aquaintances will always pat
ronize Green and not forget him
when they want a hotel. To ex-
press a homely but very much APP
preciated truth, one can always get
a good square meal at the Bonner
House, and the boys are also getting
onto the fact that if they happen
to be little late they will not get
a meal consisting Of a piece Of tough
steak, a cold potato, a little ole,
and glucose on the side.

 SOUTH BEND, Ind, Jan. 4.-Edward Spohn and Miss Seig, the latter the eldest daughter of Christian Seig, were engaged to be married. and it is prob able that the marriage would soon have taken place. Just after the nocn meal Miss Seig left the house and went to the gate to look for her lover, with whom she was to spend the afternoon. She saw him a short distance d0wn the street and went to meet him. ln- stead of going directly to her home the two stopped to discuss what should Do done during the afternoon. They stood in front of an eight-inch brick wall twenty-two feet high, and which Is said to have been out of plumb and danger ous. A strong southerly wind was blowing and forced itself back of the wall, and without seconds warning half the structure toppled over. The young people were completely buried beneath the brick. Miss Seig was in- stantly killed, her brains being dashed out and scattered over the brick.

Nothinr Can Defeat Hin But . Strong
 Detection of Ills supporters-
 COLUMBUS, Jan. 7.- The greatest Senatorial contest that the Republicans of Ohio have ever known is practically at an end. Every political indication points to the nomination of John Sher- man, by a majority of ten or twelve votes over S. B. Foraker, although of course, this is not conceded by the friends of the latter.
 MT. Foraker's followers still declare that he has chance to win. but the Sherman people consider their victory as already assured and insist that the ex-Governor is now maintaining an ap- pearance of confidence in the sole hope of keeping his supporters together in order that he may go down with votes enough behind him to show how nearly he has come to defeating Sherman. The press of Ohio generally consider the contest at an end.
 For the first time in the contest the Sherman people to-day give names and figures. Chairman Hahn, of the State Central committee, said; MT. sherman will have fifty-six votes, beyond all question. Fifteen of these will be Senators and forty-one Representatives If the vote was taken now that would be my estimate of the result However. 1t may be increased. ' .sWho are the Senators?" was asked of him.
 Here they are: F. G. Carpenter, Jeremiah Carpenter, Phillips, Abbott, Rawlings, Bain, Iden, Nichols, Snyder, Eckley, Ohl, Lampson, Spencer, Hide. brand and Green"
 And the representatives?' II do not feel at liberty to give them
 now. My estimate will hold good, how
 ever, and have no hesitation in saying that Representative Clapp of Geauga, and Mccoy of Columbiana, will vote for Mr Sherman

 Kansss Senator.

TOPEKA. Kan. Jan. The Senatorial contest ended at o'clock yesterday ofternoon by the appointment of es- Congressman Bishop w. Perkins to the vacancy created by the death of Sena- tor Plumb. It was a complete surpriss to the supporters of Maj. Hudson. They have believed from the first that the real fight was between Perkins and Hudson, and while they knew that the odds were against them at the begin ming they felt confident that the influ- ences which had been brought to bear had finally placed Hudson in the lead. The last delegation to wait upon the governor last night was composed of Maj. Hudson's most. t.trustedgieutenanta When they returned from his apart ments they were in good spirits, ana while they declined to give any reason 1 for the prediction they were confident that the appointment of Maj. Hudson would be announced.
 Nothing of interest occurred until about noon, when the Governor cent 1 for George K. Peck and rendered him the appointment and urged him to ae. cept it. When asked if it was fact that the position hae been urged upon him again, he replied:
 s.I suppose the matter is common talk; at least dozen men have asked me of the matter, have thanked the Governor for the proffered honor and again declined it. 1 am not ',sensible l to the great honor nor do shira the duties and responsibilities, but l could not in honor and in justice to the other candidates accept the position now, and personally could not afford to ac- cept it"
