W. Mills, of the Hudson's Bay Company steamer Mackenzie River, plying between Fort Mc- pherson and Fort Smith. The let- ter tells the story of a young clerk w1k> when bringing out the mail in tlie Spring, on June 6, found Pet-o M«lttnd dead with his hea<i crushed and W. S. Eiever, the other man's prospecting partner, dead of poi- son, self administered, and a con- fession signed by the latter, telling of the whole tragedy. The scene of the horror is Salt llivcr, about five hundred miles north of Groat Slave Lake. The confession read <is fol- lows : "1 have been sick a long time; I am not crazy, but have simply been goaded to death. He (Me land) thought 1 had more money than I have, and has been trying to iiuLsh me. I tried to get him to go after some medicine, but he would not, wishing to have me die So, good-bye.â€" W. 8. Eiever." A further confession read as fol lows : â€" â- '1 have just killed thf* man that was killing me, so good-bye, and God bless you all. I am awfully weak and down since the last of March, so there is nothing but death for me. Cruel treatment drove me to kill Pete. Ship every- thing out and pay George Walker $10.-W. S." The two bodies were buried to- gether after the inquest, whirh re- turned a verdict of murder and sui- cide. A large Bt<;ck of fur and the sum of $101 were found in the shack. MAKING SAFE INVESIiNTS "YIELD" ON BONDS DEPENDS ON TIME BONO HAS TO RUN BEFORE MATURITY.

Of citurse, the person who figures this out in this way quite minri-s tho point.

The so- cuniy is exactly the same, tho rate of Interest identical 1 the only dilTerenee, probably, is that one bond may b« pay- ahlu in ten years and the other In twen- ty.

COUNTRY PRODUCE. $50 as legitimate income, and, dividing $43.30 by $1,082.50 wo And that this amounts to 4 per cent, ou the sum of $1,082.50 invested. Therefore, a 5 per cent, bond, with ten years to run, selling at 108 1-4 "yields" 4 per cent. Remember, the amount returned is, of course great- er than 4 per cent., hut the half of 1 per cent, in excess of that rate is really re- payment of a part of the Invested ca- pital, in installments. Ou the other hand, where, a similar] Largo quoted at bond sells Iwlow par. the process is re. at 14 t-2c. versed. For example, a 4 per cent, bond selling at 90, with ten years to run, "yields " the inventor 5.3 per cent., #iieru- as, a 4 per cent, stock s>.-lllng at 90, re- turns but 4.4 on the investment. The reason, of course. Is this: In ten years the bund is repaid at par of $1,000 and cost hut $900, therefore, to every $40 of intercut must be added the part of that $100 profit which will be received at the time the h- ''' Is repaid, and of which, in tho yield" account is thus taken. Ho, lu buying bunds or other forms of mortgage or debentures which are pay- able on a nxed date, the element of timo is a most important one. In such a case the "rale of income " is not as simple to estimate as is often supposed, as we havo just seen.

The Bel- gians know by experience that the neutrality of their country would be very difficult to safeguard in such circumstances, and they fear that a German invasion would take place in a few hours after an out- break of hostilities. The Belgian Minister of War has given instruc- tions for all forts on the Mouse, especially around Liege, to be fur- nished with men and ammunition. Plans for rapid mobilization ar9 being studied, and the forts at Na- mur are being fitted with new can- non of the Hotehkiss type. The annual manoeuvres of tho Belgian army will not take place this year. Disquieting rumors are aJoat as to the prospects of war between France and Germany.
