 Are Disposed Of

 man, said to have been a leader. was sentenced to 30 days in the workh ouse. Samuel Rappleport was sentenced to three days. and Percy Mariner stu dent in school of journalism, was set
 free under suspended sentence after a plea had been made by his sister. Miss Gussie Miller, a young woman who maintained she had gone to the church to see that the unemployed were fed and housed, was reprimanded by
 Magistrate Campbell, but later re-
 leased in custody of her counsel. You may become a dangerous citi- zen" said the magistrate passing on
 Miss Miller's cass, and unless you re- spect public authority more than you do now it seems inevitable that you will land in prison. You acted defiantly in the church. The only thing that saves you from a six months sentence in the work lxhouse is your sex and your ex- citable state of mind"
 Fifteen of the 63 prisoners tried to- day pleaded not guilty and were found guilty and freed, under suspended sem tence. Seven of the 12 convicted yes terday were also. liberated.

 defense of my reputation. 1 find that MT. Riddle has made me the object of his public addresses and while making no direct charges against me which are based on any particular fact, he en- deaNors by insinuation and by innuendo to cast slurs upon my name and upon my reputation These are more impor- tant to me than the office l seek and part of the remainder of the campaign will be devoted to their defense ana to a disclosure of Mr. Riddles private and professional character.
 sAr. Riddle has figured extensively in both the civil and criminal courts. He began the practice Of law in 1894, and the following year was indicted twice by the grand jury of his own county.

HUNTING FOR SPIES HAS
 BEGUN IN PRINCE RUPERT

A somewhat peculiar story which may have important developments has just come to light.
 On the arrival of the train Thurs day evening, a well groomed, fine appearing man, was intercepted by the authorities, the tip having pre- yiously been given by some of the train staff.
 It appears the passenger bearded the cars at Edson. On the way west he conversed with many others, on the subject of the war. Evident ly, he was not only highly educat- ed, but possessed rather exact knowledge touching the situation in Europe. It is alleged that he claimed to be a rancher with quite extensive interests in the Canadian West.
 It came to the knowledge of others on the train that the military authorities in Edmonton were WaISu' ing for the appearance of a German who was known to be in the Peace River country. AS far as can be learned, he never put in an appear ance in Edmonton. With this Knowledge, it was decided to keep the passenger under observation.
 It is said that since his arrival in Prince Rupert there are grounds for believing he has been ! travelling under an assumed name, although this report lacks absolute confirmation and it is merely given for what it may be worth. It is understood he is still in Prince Rupert.-Empire, Sept. 18th.

 Your true Berliner eats his regular daily meals, four in number and all large ones, and in between times he now and then gathers a bite For h. stance, about 10 o'clock in the morning be knocks ofH for an hour and has a few cups Of hard boiled coffee and some sweet, sticky pastry with whip ped cream on 1t
 Then about o'clock in the afternoon he browses a bit, just to keep up his | appetite for dinner. This, though, is but a snack-Say a school of Bismarck herring and a kraut pie. some mora coffee and more cake and one thing and another-merely a preliminary to the real food, which will be coming along a little later on
