THE WRONG BOTTLE.

Surprise to a Frequenter of a Popular Rossland Drug Store.

Probably there is nothing so laugh- able ag to see the expression on a man’s face when he gets ahold of the wrong bottle. Bert » & well known broker, has been in the habit of taking his “bitters” regularly at one of the city’s prominent drag stores. The bot- tle always sits in a certain corner. Bert is in the habit of going to that corner and taking a “‘emile.” So familiar has he become with it that he could find the bottle in the dark,

A couple of days since he entered the drug store and“walked straight towards his favorite corner. Picking up the bottle he screwed his mouth, which was wreathed in smiles, into a saucer shape in order not to looge any of the droppings, and tipped the bottle on end. There was a girgling sound immediately followed by a sputtering one like a chinaman sprink- ling clothes. His e: tant siniling countenance gave place toone of intense disgust. An ashy hue overspread his face and i in_ tones of mortal dread he

ments were too precious. He was look- ing for the back door. His stomach be- ing unuse | to such stuff was in rebel- lion. Reaching the door he gave one loud wh—oc—ich and clapped his hande to his stomach. With the tears stream- ing down his eyes and his stomach, and unswallowing his breakfast, lunch and dinner, he continued in that strain un- til he was ag limber as a dish rag*

COATED BULLETS.

A Valuable Substitute for Steel or Lead Projectiles.

Springfield, IIl., July 23.—Charles W. Bales, a chemist, and Edward Jerry, a surveyor of this city, have discovered a secret solution by which they coat lead- en cartrijges, rendering them superior to steel cartridges. The ordinary leaden cartridge when used in the Krag-Jor- genson rifle, have been found to be too soft and the lead has clung to the bar- relof ‘he rifle until the barrel was finally clogged, while the steel cart- ridges, which have succeeded the lead unes, have eventually torn the barrel. ‘The new cartridges do neither. Messrs Bales and Jerry have made numerous experiments with their cartridges. At a distance of thirty yerds they bored a whole through an ax blade and also throuzh a flatiron, In the latter case the bullet lodged ina tree, entering a distance of six inches. ‘They will now offer to se 1] the gouernment the ballets coated with the preparation, and they will cost the government 90 cents a pound less than the steel bullets now in use,

—s_ d MARKSMEN OF THE TRANSVAAL,

Routed the Troops of Great Britain at Majuda Hill.

When the trained marksmen of the ‘Transvaal routed the regular troops of Great Britain et Majuba Hill by shoot- ing with such marvelous skill as to pick off the redcoats like so many deeron a hill, a great outery was heard in British army circles against the folly of teaching asoldier to shoot by placing h'm oppo- site a target and telling him to place a bullet as near the bully’s-eye as possi- ble.

The United States army officers have just come to the same conclusion as did the British after the disaster of Majuba Hill. As a consequence of this awaken- ing there will shortly be issued a sen of

turgeta to be used at the various rifle}

ranges, that will revolutionize the old of training solitiers to Instead of the bull’s-eye

se-| which the British g has de-

termined to meet boldly in India, in the 2. | following words:

“Tn the frst place, there is a general impression in England that the natives are perfectly satisfied with our rule, and thoroughly loyal to the Queen. There can be no greater mistake made. The great mass of the people, where they are not against us, are profoundly indiffer- ent. The whole aim and object of the lower classes is to get the wherewithal to feed themselves and familiesjand they

ambition, and know nothing of politics. To them the Queen-Empress is at best only an empty aim. Our rule, as far as they are concerned, is much the same as that of the Mogul of the Mahratta. They recognize that, whoever may be in power, the struggle for life remains much the same.

“It may be asked, What are the rea- sons for this dislike of ourselves and for its recent intensification? For that we are daily growing more disliked and less feared is a matter admitting of very little doubt. Primarily, it is because we are, as Mr. Dadabhal Naoroji delights to remind us, an alien race, whose cus- toms, habits and religion are repulsive to the people whom we rule. The cant about justice of our rule passes for nothing out here, however effectively it may be brought into an after-d¢nner speech. The Oriental does not under- stand, nor does he require, impartial justice.

The methods which have been in use with him for centuries, methods which obtain today in many a native court and all over the east, are to him far prefer- able to British justice. He knows, to his cost, that when once he has been ae ht within the toils of our cumbrous

egal machinery there is no sarap for tea until he shall have paid a far larger sum than he would have disbursed had he settled the matter in the time-hon- red fashion of the east. A horde of blood suckers in the shape of Duecrapa: long vakils and the facility of a ppe will probably go far toward ruining in the end.

“Not only have we made ourselves un-

Popular c on account of our own customs but we have i;

ae arated the feeling by our interfer-

ence with the habits of the people. We

Eigures That Contain a Wealth of Meaning to Tax- payers.

“How much money has the provin- cial government collected from the city of Rossland,” is a question that has been asked many times but never yet answered. This city claime that the government has collected more money from Rossland than any city in the Kootenays, and has received compara- tively no benefit whatever. The gov- ernment representatives on their side claim that it has spent most of the re- ceipts in paying provincial officers to look alter the city’s interests.

In order to settle the question a Rec- opp reporter waited upon Provincial Constable Kirkup today and asked for the receipts. Mr. Kirkup replied that owing to the fact certain parties had made it an ob- ject to “blackguard” the government through just such information as was asked, for that reason he had received strict inatructions to allow no one to see the receipts collected from the city. The reporter then did what has often been done before secured the desired information from another source. The little table below, although not official, is a good estimate of the receipts and disbursements for 1897:

This is the proxi- mate sum taken from the revenues of the city of which the city claims it should receive three-fourths.

The government, it is said, caine that there is no surplus to speak of and therefore nothing to refund. By.con- sulting the above table 1t will be seen that the $9,000 poll tax pays all school expenses, which i is (including teachers’

salaries and rent) $7,700, and still leaves a surplus of $1, ese surpluses collected from the city the government pars intoa fund with which to estab-

lish schools and other improvements in new towns.

‘The city, however, believes itself to have been shabbily treated. The gov- ernment, after havin; ng received so much money from Rossland, should, it thinks, have been more liberal.

RICH CHINESE MERCHANT.

Expects to Establish a Large Wholesale House Here.

A wealthy Chinese tea merchant of San Francisco, California, is in the city looking around with a view to locating. Should he decide todo this he will es- tablish a large place here for wholesale and retail trade.

“Ihave heard so much about the mining region around Rossland,” he said when seen by a Recogp reporter, that I thought it might be well to in- vestigate and if the outlook warranted such an action to establish a business place in some central town, where the whole mining region could be supplied with our trade. From what Ihave seen I believe that Rossland would make a good supply station for such a business. Of course, besides teas we would keep spices, toys, cigars and other things in stock, but would rustle principally for the tea trade.”

Some idea may be had of the magni- tude of this Chinaman’s interest when it is known that the firm he belongs to bas supply houses in_San Francisco, Beattle and Victoria. The firm has ita own plantations in China which enables it to sell most com apeti tora. Therefore it can be seen should the company de-

cide to locate here there will be no lack of capital to back it up. A few thou- sand dollars spent in gaining a foot hold would be a mere trifle where there was anything to be gained, hen asked about the times in Cali- fornia Mr. Chong said they were’ im- roving under the gold sgan

ry on the Road " Around West Columbia Avenue. The wagon road that winds around the West Columbia avenue bluff isin a very dangerous condition, and unless looked after immediately some one will surely be hurt, and the city be made to suffer the consequences. The road com- ing from the railroad track is -all right until it reaches the place where hy- draulicing was done. There it termin- ates suddenly with a sheer drop of 15 or 20 feet. A narrow trail, hardly wide enough for foot passengers curves to the left around the hole where the road ends. Anyone approaching this place in the night time, who is not aware of the de- fect, is sure to walk right off the road on to the empty air. Many of the min- ers and prospectors have always used
