a Runaway Monarch:

BRUSSELS, March 1S.-King
Leopold's remarkable dl5ap-
pearance from his country house
in the Province of Namur some
days ago is still the subject of
much comment. The ministry
sent dispatch to him on Friday
announcing that the Chambers
rejection of tho proposal for pro-
portional representation would
cause Cabinent crisis. The dis
patch was addressed to the King
in Montreux, but he could not be
found thore. A similar communi-
cation was sent to AK, but it was
also returned. This afternoon his
Majesty was found in Geneva.
Switzerland, and was informed
that the ministers would await his
return to Brussels before making
an important declaration in
Parliament.

ingly by all who had the pleasure
Of hearing it.
On Friday before, Prof. Ducellc
gave an entertainment in the Acad-

NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was meyer time in the his
tory of our country when the demand
for inventions and improvements In
the arts and sciences generally was so
great as now. The conyeniences of
mankind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, and
i'm official life, require continual ac-
ccsslons to the appurtenances and
implements of each in order to save
labor, time, and expense. The political
change in the administration of the
government does not affect the progress
of the American inventor, wi O being
on the alert and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit
the affairs of government to deter him
from quickly conceiving the remedy to
overcome existing discrepancies. Too
great care cannot be exercised in choos
nga competent and skillfully attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an ap-
plicatiOn for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in in
Vulnerable instances by the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class Of attorneys
do so at imminent risk, as the breadth
and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of aquick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain the
fee then due. TIE PRESS CLAIMS

The News from Cold Spring-Mr.
Bussey's Sermon at Red
Hill-The Crops.

Mr.. EDITOR: To-day has been
the most pleasant and lovely Sab
bath that has been given US this
year, and a large and appreciative
audience gave strict and close at
tention to the sermon of Rev. G.
w. Bussey, preached from the
text, eye are the salt of the earth, y
at Red Hill church. The earnest
ness that Mr.. Bussey puts into his
sermons mark plainly the pro-
found search and deep study of
gospel truths.
A fire at Red Hill on Thursday
night last destroyed the gin house
and contents, of Capt. J. H. Bussey.
Contents consisted of gin, press,
wagon, scales, planning machine,
cotton seed, and two bales of seed
cotton. Fifteen hundred feet of
dressed lumber stored under the
gin house was also burned. With
the help of friends the saw and
grist mill was saved from the
flames, engine not damaged ex-
cept the loss of betting.
School Commissioner M. B.
Davenport gave the Red Hill
school a call on his professional
rounds on Friday last. 1t is sufi-
cient to say that the office is we'll
filled and none could conform
more strictly to his duties.
Miss Willie Hudson, who is so
widely and favorably known as a
teacher and as lady, paid Red
Hill q visit on Saturday and SUN
day. Her cheerful and kindly
presence renews the friendship of
old acquaintances and makes many
new ones. She returned to the
Parksville High School on Sunday
afternoon.
This beautiful weather is making
the clod hopper jump for Joy and
he is using all of his stored up
energy to prepare and plant a big
crop in time. Grain is making
such rapid strides that one can
almost see it grow, and may God
speed the time that the oats will
do to feed, then we will all be
happy.
