OTTAWA, Ont, April 3.-Tho text Of the
proceedings at the conference between tho
Dominion and Manitoba governments
commissioners, which closed without re
suit at Winnipeg on Wednesday with re-
lation to the vexcd schools question, was
made public here and in Winnipeg last
night
The official statement shows that the
Dominion government made proposition
to Manitoba that the province should
adopt the Nova Scotia or New Brunswick
system, under which such schools in a
modified form, are retained The Mani
toba government declined to accept the
offer, but proposed to entirely secularize
the schools, offering TO set apart half
hour between $3.50 and 4p. IN. each day,
for religious exercises and teaching, such
exercises to be conducted by any Christian
clergyman whose charge included any
portion Of the school district, or by per

If the parents objected, and such pupils
would be dismissed at $3.50. This PROPOSE
tion the Dominion government through its
commissioners, refused to accept, and the

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA.
At this time of the year cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run its course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-

We know of no better remedy to cure
a cough or cold than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively and it has always given
satisfaction Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventive of
pneumonia. Among the many thou
sands who have used it for cold and
la grippe, we have never yet learned
of single case having resulted in
pneumonia. Persons who have weak
lungs or who have reason to fear an
attack of pneumonia, should keep the
remedy at hand. For sale by all drug

Joseph Caceres, opium importer and
murderer, serving a sentence of TWEEN
ty years in Oahu prison for killing De-
tective Kaukane three years ago, was
very i'll last Sunday and it was thought
he would die After working with him
all day the physician brought him
around and he is now on a high road
to recovery.
Caceres and his crime are fresh in
the minds of many. He is Gillian
and has always been accounted hard
nut. Once he was caught red-handed
introducing opium at Hilo. He was
sentenced to Imprisonment for fifteen
months and fine of $500. When his
time was up he went with a prison
guard to a well known Chinese mer-
chant drew the amount of his fine and
paid it. When approached by the Of
fcer the opium merchant wrapped an
American flag about himself but this
scheme was of no avail.
Three years ago he was cook on the
S. c. Allen. One night he left his YES
sci near the old fish market with
opium all around him, and started up
Maunaliea street. Kauhane and Her
man arrested him. Caceres drew a
meat knife and slashed both men in
horrible manner. Kauhane died
Caceres is getting along in years and
it is doubtful if he will survive his
long sentence. He is not resigned tc
his fate and frequently gives trouble

ALEXANDRIA NEWS.

A sensation was sprung last night when
| it was announced that Assistant Train
| Dispatcher Pulling OF the Washington,
Alexandria and Mount Vernon Railway
had skipped town, leaving his bills unpaid
] 1t is stated that Pulling has been drink
| ing heavily of late, a nd that last Saturday
evening when he went to Washington To
draw his salary he was notified that his
| services Were no longer needed by the rail-
road officials. He did not return to Alex
| andria that night, and his wife, whom he
had abandoned at the boarding house OF
Mrs. Simpson, on Duke street, was appar-
emily almost frantic on account OF the
sudden disappearance of her husband
She protested TO her laIdlady that Mr.
Pulling would return, and that the alread dy
overdue months board bill would be set
tied. The good landiady sympathized
with Mrs. Pulling and oomforted her in
her hours OF sorrow.
Friday letter was received by the wife
from her truant husband stating that he
was in Baltimore and would leave immed-
lately for Philadelphia. He requested her
to say that all his debts would be settled.
This intelligence was impaired to Mrs.
Simpson, who was shortly afterward sur
prised to find that Mrs. Pulling had also
suddenly disappeared. 1t is stated on good
authority that Pulling mailed two letters
in Baltimore at the same time, one adj
dressed to his wife at her boarding house
