The railroad agents we're around
again insisting on the squatters who
are on the so-called railroad lands
signing lease, thus putting them in
the place of tenants, and it is well
known that a tenant cannot dispute
landlords title. One OF the squat
ters wrote to the attorney general of
the United States and also to the con-
gresham from this district, and they
both advised him under no consider
alton to sign lease These leases
were mOnstrous exhibition of gall
and impudence, as they bind the
squatters not to use any firewood
and to get off of the premises in 80
days after being warned by the rail-
road company, and If there is any cost
attached to convicting them, the squat
ter is to pay it, and also to leave all
Improvements, without any return for
labor and money expended and also
II ever travelling on any of these rail
road lines, not to sue or claim any
damage If injured while riding on
their system. This is certainly the
limit! There is only one thing they
omitted, and that is they neglected
to have the squatter have his life in
sured for $4,000 for their benefit We

Coal and Iron deal go through. Having
tied up some of the best land in the

they have long ago lost title to, they
now say If they are not allowed to

BIG SHELTER
AT NELSON B. C.
is DESTROYED
IS SET FIRE TO AND OWING TO
LACK OF WATER BURNED TO
THE GR0UND-LOSS ESTIMAT.
ED AT s75O,OOO.

Nelson, B. c., Sept. 9.-Fire de-
stroyed the huge plant Of the Hall
smelter, covering 13 acres of ground
and one Of the largest plants of its
kind in Canada, at midnight last
night. Nothing was saved except the
seven miles Of cable running from
the smelter to the Silver King mine
on Lode mountain.
The tall blackened chlmneys, one
Of which is 200 feet in height, and a
one-stOry building used as an office,
are still standing Everything else,
the huge smelters, the tramway ter
minal and dump, the assay Office
the clearinghouse and numerous
smaller buildings are tangle of
blazing timber and twisted iron. The
disaster Is the work of an incendlary
who for the last two weeks has
started a dozen fires, three Of which
have entailed enormous loss.
Saturday night the Nelson brewery
was burned to the ground with a
loss Of $4,000. Previously a China
mans house, stables and outbulld-
ings were destroyed. The loss in the
smelter fire last night is estimated
at $75O,0OO
The incendlary has shown the ut
most persistency. At noon yester-
day the watchman discovered fire in
the smelter which he thoroughly
quenched and had arranged for ex-
ira guards. Last night at 8 o'clock
after he had made the rounds of
buildings fire broke out and within
few minutes the plant was a blazing
furnace, by midnight the entire plant
was practically consumed, nothing
could be done to save the buildings.
The smelter is situated on hill
above the railway Just outside the
city limits and no water supply was
available, The fire brigade could
only watch the blaze.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE

 Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are so unmistakable that they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex- crete thick, cloudy, offensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by sensation of scalding The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neg lect these warnings and there is dan- ger of dropsy, Brights disease, or dia betes. Any one of these symptoms is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. Delay often proves fatal.
 You can use no better remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills, Here's Forrest City proof:
 Charles k. Izard, editor of the Chronicle, POS N. Washington St., Forrest City, Ark, says: "I was troubled great deal by kidney com- plaint. Some time ago Deans Kidney Pills came to my attention and pro- curing box at the City Drug Store, I begun their use. The results were highly satisfactory. have no hesita- tion in recommending Doan's Kidney Pills to any person suffering from kid ney complaint"

TUNI SCHOOL TIMES

Editor Times:
 Not seeing any items from this sec tlon' we drop few lines.
 farm work is moving of in earnest Tn this neighborhood at present. Most farmers are done planting corn. of which there is an increased acreage being planted this year, as all have about decided that it is far too incon- venlent and expensive to keep our smoke house in Kansas City, with pork at 10 cents a pound and bacon at 20 cents pound.
 Our cotton land is about all prepar- ed Tor planting.
 Uncle" Dan Wylds has sold out all his wagons and logging teams, as well as several hundred thousand feet of lumber stacked on the yards, also several hundred thousand feet of logs lett on the yard and skidways when ms mill burned some time ago. Mr. 6roVer Wylds, the head sawyer, has gone to Washington and Oregon Q engage in the timber business in the No'g tree' country, though lie hand led some pretty good little saplings here, some cutting 1000 feet to the log.
 Our school at Tuni, conducted by Prof. Miller, of Tennessee, is pro- gressing nicely.
 The contest in the agriculture, Horticulture and botany classes last week resulted in the flrst and second prlzes being won on the boys side by Master Leonard Myers naming 400 different varieties of trees and Master Oliver Lewis naming 35O The prizes on the girls side were won respec- lively by Misses Lavada Howell and Susie Powers naming HOO and 1900 flowers and blooming plants. After the prizes were awarded the entire school was agreeably surprised by a candy treat to everybody by the teacher and all went home screaming with delight.
 | The next contest will be the old fashioned spelling bee, the prize to be Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. All outsiders will be allowed to spell and compete on certain conditions, said conditions to be made known Friday night.
