Nov. 25. (Special. ) Today a election throughout British Columbia proved a snowing under of Lib eralism In British Columbia and such victory lor Conservatives as has never rad precedent in Provincial history. At 11 tonight the returns gave Premier Mc- Bnde a following of 3 in the Leglsla turn of 42 members, while the Socialists have taken from the Liberals but two. Jardlne In Kk'iuimalt and Brewster in Alhernl. both Vancouver Island conmltu- enok. and. curiously, the two districts whlrh will be most benefited by the Mo Bride railway construction programme as it affects the island. Hawthornthwaite. the Socialist member for Nanalmo. becomes, it is expected, the opposition leader, while John Oliver, the Liberal chieftain in the Province, who ) ran both In Delta, his home, and Victoria City, went down with his party. Premier McBrlde Jefcated the Lieutenant of the Liberal party. Stuart Henderson. In Yale. a well as headed the ticket in Victoria. It Is expected he will continue to sit for Victoria, a bye-election being held to fill the Yale seat. I -oca I Option Believed Lost. No cabinet mlnier was defeated. A plebiscite taken as to local option is be lieved to be lost, although final returns are not yet available. There are a few . Isolated districts yet to be heard from, but they will not affect results. The only r district In which results are probletnat . leal la Llllooet. which may go Liberal. In this case Liberals and Socialists will tie in the new House, and must adjust the auestio.i of opposition leadership. The overwhelming victory of the SIc Brlde government is accounted for pri marily upon the excellent record of ad ministration In the past seven years, dur ing which the country's credit has been , completely rehabilitated and marked ma ' terlal progress has been maJe. Secondar ily, the railway policy, which was the dominant Issue, was immensely popular. With the present Indorsement of its tentative bargain with MacKenzie and Mann, of the Canadian Northern, the Province will guarantee the bonds of the Canadian Northern for flno miles of rail way in the Province, extending from Fete Jaune Cache (Yellowstone Pass) through to the coast by the North Thompson and Fraxer rivers, a crossing to Victoria be tng made by railway ferry, and a line being built to open up the great timber districts between thi city and Barkley Sound, with trans-Pacific and coastal steamship services auxiliary. The railway company gives as security a first mortgage and security of its trans continental line receipts, with an indem nification clause against the Province be ing ultimately called upon to expend dollar. Resnlt Is Great Surprise. The result, while generaly expected to be a Conservative win. was by none ex pected to prove so overwhelmingly com plete, especially as but- rour years ago the Liberals ewept the Province in a Do minion issue.

BEN SELLING Fourth and Morrison MOYER 3d & Oak " 1st & Yamhill 1st & Morrison RIGHT LORIMER'S "The Shepherd King," In which the dramatist ap pears as star, which opened at the Bun galow at the Thanksgiving matinee, is a magnificently picturesque and impressive production. While the play la founded on a Biblical theme, it is in no sense a religious one. but In is a purely romantic drama, based on Scriptural history. The atory Is that of King David, Israel' chosen monarch, whose career from tender of his father's sheep, through va rious vicissitudes and triumphs, is told in thrilling and scholarly manner. The play Is sumptuously mounted and much special music -and an artistic ballet add to Its charm. The cast is a lengthy one. and the executive and stage staff Is equally as extensive as those required for the elaborate first productions of Ben Hur." In the opening act Is shown the home of David, near Bethlehem, where Jona than and the Princess Michael come to summon the shepherd to the camp of Saul's army to play and sing before that rate King. Here begins the strong bond friendship between David and Jona than and also David's affection for the Princess. The next scene represent's Saul's camp in the Vale of Blah, whithet comes Goliah. hurling defiance at Saul, and here from an elevation David throws the stone that kills the giant. Saul's throneroom is next shown and through the growing Jealousy on the part of the King he attempts to kill David, whose life is saved by a bond maiden, Idora, who rushes between them and receives the blow intended for David. This sceno. with Its hansome and faithful stage gowning and settings, terminates in a most thrilling and dramatic manner. In the first scene of the fourth act is shown the cave of the witch of Endor, where Saul had gone to learn his fate, and is told by the spirit of Samuel of his own death and that of his son. Saul and his army have been routed and the timely arrival of David turns defeat into victory. He is reunited to Princess Michael and upon Saul's death is pro claimed King of Israel. Mr. IxMimer. the author of "The Shep herd King." has had a most interesting career, being a graduate of Harvard and also bearing Oxford degrees. Owing to a great love for the stage, his career was diverted from that of a college professor at Stanford Lni versify, through the In fluence of Wilton Lackaye. He la an ac complished and scholarly actor, with a splendid presence and an unusual voice that lends great effectiveness to the in telligent reading of his lines. He re ceived numerous curtain calls from two large, enthusiastic audiences yesterday. Mr. Lorlmer is supported by an excel lent cast, the work of Brigham Royce as the tempestuous Saul being especially worthy of mention. "The Shepherd King" will be produced Friday and Saturday nights, with a spe cial priced matinee Saturday afternoon.

Nervous headaches axe the direct re salt of starving the nerves. It fre- q-iently happens that through grief. m orry, digestive disturbances, eye strain, or mental or physical overwork the blood becomrs impure and the system run down. The nerves fail to receive their usual nourishment and, in persons who have inherited a tendency to ner vous headaches, they almost certainly develop. Unless cured they invariably increase in frequency and intensity. Mrs. Katherine ffcerperd, of No. 1270 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, Cal., who is a member of the Eastern Star, tells of a cure for this trouble. She says: "I suffered with nervous headaches for nearly twenty-one vears. When they began. they would occur about every three months. Then they became more frequent and for years I had them every two weeks. While they lasted I was often confined to bed. . The pain was mostly in the back of my head and lasted from two to five days. During the attacks I would be very dizzy, and it seemed as though' I was going blind. I was nervous and many nights I conld hot sleep at all. About three years ago I had a severe attack of headache and was In bed for two weeks. I was partially paralyzed and numb in my left side. , "I was treated by doctors for many years. They were afraid of apoplexy and paralysis and gave me relief only while I was using their medicine. When I gave up taking their medicine I would soon be as badly off as ever. I finally decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as I had seen them recom mended for cases similar to mine. The piils helped me very soon and, as they were the only medicine that left no bad effects, I kept on with them. I haven't had a headache in I don't know how long and I feel certain that I am entirely cured." Dr. WUlinms' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on re ceipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, "Schenectady, N. T.
