The pall bearers were six little boys, and the beautiful little casket was almost covered with handsome floral wreaths, sent by friends in memory of the departed and kind qmpathy to the sorrowing parents. - - CARD OF CONDOLENCE To W. J. Li Me, DEAR SIR. -It is with feelings of deep regret that we, your fellow mem- . hers of the Lsacknow Public .School Board, desire to express to you and your dear wife our heartfelt sympathy in this your sad hour of affliction; Words we know can be of little cons - fort where there is sorrow like yours. The loss you have just sustained is too heavy to be lightened by ordinary ex- pressions of condolence. There are many mysteries in God's dealing with his little children which are not easily understood in this life. In .the death of your darling son our school mourns the loss of a faithful and promising pupil and although only nine years of age, his faultless record, Christian character, genial nature and the interest taken in his school studies developed in •the hearts of his little schoolmates the most affectionate love and regard. 'And we hope that the heartfelt sympathies of each individual pupil will not be an intrusion upon your grief. , We trusit that s this dispens satien of Providence may remind the scholars les well as all of us ot. the un- certainty of life. 'On Wednesday at 1:15 p.m.', just as the, bell signalled his associates to school, so -was dear little Robbie tiurnmoned to the sctool above where., higher knowledge is..im- partied. He has passed out of weari- ness into rest, out of pain into peace, out of the mist of earth into the surS- light of Heaven. We ask the great Redeemer to comfort, sustain and console you and family in this your sore trial, and at the end of life's la6or may you all meet in the abode of the ,blessed.

Why, the election and the " grip." There has seldom been known to be so much sickness in this community as there is at the presentttime. Mr. S. Beckett, teacher, had to clese school for the first part of this week owing to a bad attack of la grippe. There has seldom been known to be 90 much sickness in this communitt as there is at the present time. The temperance workers of th is Province have no need to feel dis- couraged. The hard facts of stastistics give the lie to croakers In 1888 there were 4,797 commitments for drunkenness in Ontario, and it was a Scott Act period. In 1898, when the Scott Act was scarcely more than a memory, there were only 1,707 com- tnitinente. The decline ha e been OW, and gradual. They do not take all summer to elect. a President for the French Republic, as they do for the election of a President of the United Statea Republic. The excitement of the election being concentrated into a few hours and a nartow compass, it oi not serialising that there should be 90020 boiling over, necessitating the inter- ference of the Paris police. -In-a few days President Loubet will be.. firmly seated and quiet will be restored. The Ontario Government has issued a special bulletin on " Fruit Pulp,/, the export of which 'limns to our 'fruit -growers a source of profit for an industry-sapable of great exten- sion. The bulletingives,the torres pondence between the Agricultural Department and the authorities in Great Britain, prices .realizedfor the various fruits pulped and ?hipped and general information of value to those intereeted. Copies of the bulletin may be bad free from the Department of 'Agriculture, l'ron to. Deputy -returning officers would find it to their interests to be honest in the discharge of their duties. At a municipal election in Parkhill, a deputy returning officer, Mains, refused to accept the ballot of William Wilson because he refused to take the tenant's oath. Wilsnn was down on the voters' list as a tenant, but since the list was made up he had become an.owner, and wanted to vote as such Wilson brought an action against Mains for the 1100 penalty provided by the Statutes, and was successful before Chief Justice Armour. The last two months may .certainly be termed "A Season of Death " in Ontario. In glancing over the dozens of newspapers received at the World office one is struck by the length of the death rolls. Every Paper has its extraordinary quota of obituary notices,. and the sad feature of the majority of the deaths that have been noted is their suddenness. Never in. the career of the World have our exchanges shown such a sad record. Elrierly and middle-aged people chiefly have been the victims of this " Season of Death." -Toronto World. The contrast between the licensing of the liquor traffic in Ontario and Quebec was shown. in the Provincial Treasurer's speech last week. Jntario received last year from liquor. licenses 1276,786. For the same year the Province of Quebec received $310,496. During tbe last five years the Province of Quebec has teceived from these licenses 12,783,871, and this Pro-vince during the same period has received 11,348,755. For the five pats in question Ontario has given back to the municipalities of the province out of license 'revenue! $1,314,851, Quebec- has retained all the revenue for the uses of the province, and has not given any • part of it to the municipalities. Local optiol by-laws are now in operation in seventeen municipalities in Ontario. . r..

This to a verY large extent was due to the energetic efforts of Councillor Alex, Mc Kenzie, of Kinloss, who had throtielt his untiring labors succeeded in gettitie together the beat possible arse)/ of talent to address the mbetings and eo one who heard the able addresses delivered on the various subjects could fail to carry away with them many important lessons that would be of value to them iu the future. Every speaker on the pro- gramme was a practical man in the line assigned to him, and each and every subject was handled in an interesting, instructive and thoroughly business -like manner, and the gr at interest aroused in the audience was amply shown by the full and able discussions that followed each address. During the afternoon meetinit the chair was ably filled by Mr. John N. McKenzie, Reeve of the township of Everybody playe a star game and Aelifield, and the progrumrue included it would be hard to tell *he shone addresses on "sheep breeding" by T. 11. Mason, of Staffordvil:e ; "Breeding and Feeding Cattle," by James Gaunt, St. Helens, and "Breeding and Feeding Hogs for Market," by Mr. D. 0. Anderson, of Simcoe county. Messrs. A. McD. Allan and Mr. Heaton, of Goderich, were also down to speak but they were unable to be present. At the evening meeting the hall was again fairly well filled, and the audience included many ladies from the village and surrounding townships The chair was occupied by Reeve J. G. Murdoch, who in a short and appropriate address gave a hearty welcome to the -members of the Institute to our village, and also ably referred to the great advantages that should result from meetings of this kind. After an instrumental selection Ln• the c iano by Miss Edith Smith, the first speaker introduced was Mr. D. C. . Anderson, who took for his subject the question "How to pay off a mortgage on a farm." Mr. Aoderson is one of the best speakers we have ever heard at an Institute meeting, and his address on this occasion was brim full of good points ably illustrated by many pleasing and witty ancedotes. A beautiful duet was then given by the Misses Emma Peart and Leila Berry, which was followed by a magnificent recitation by Mrs. Jack Armstrong and a sweet solo by Miss Lana Berry, ell of which wee greatly appreciated by all present and called 'forth a hearty vote of thanks from the audience, on motion of Mr. Williem Valens and William Malcolm, of Kinloss. The subject of small fruits on the farm was ably set forth in a paper by Mr. Sherrington, of Walker- ton, but owing to,the lateness of the hour Mr Mason did not Rive his address on "Our National heritage" as announced, and the meeting was brought to a close with the National Anthem. as above the crowd went tautest wiM aad the eheers could be heard in almost any part of the town.

Armstroog Referee, Sheppard, of Goderich. PUCKERING& It was the fastest and clealest game ever played in Lucknow. Considering the softneas of the ice there were some fine combinations played. Sheppard makes a good referee. His deciaions were never questioned. The Lucknow boys can show out- siders that the best way to " get back" at them Is to kill them with kindness, and this they certainly did on Friday night. It takes the girls to cheer the boys on to vistory and the Lucknow girls understand how to do it to perfection A number of Ripleyitss drove over to see the game. They all prenounced it the cleanest game played iu the League this reason. The proceeis were the largest ever taken in here. HOMEY Luoknow Defeats Wingham They came. They caw. conquered. (NIT.) Never since the -time of the famous "Sepoy " Lacrosse team has such interest been shown in any kind of sport in Lucknow as there was on Friday night last when the Wingham and Lucknow hockey teams faced each other for supremacy in the Huron and Bruce Hockey League. Although the Lucknow team had not won a game this season and had been defeated on Wingham ice only it few nights before they viere determined to show the spectators that they could play hockey, and many are the praises they have received for the manly way in which they used their opponents on Friday night after having suffered 80 much abuse from them at the last game. At 8,20 p.m. a special train in charge of tbat genial old conduct- r, John Quirk, arrived at Lucknow with the Wingham team and about 100 supportera who came to cheer their boys on to victory. They went at once to the rink which was packed almost to suffocation, a large portion of the crowd being ladies. After some preliminary disputes as to the referee, Mr. Sheppard, of Goderich, was asked to referee the game, and he having consented, tho puck was faced at about 9.15, and from the start excitement was at fever heat, both sidee being determined to win. Wingham was successful in scoring the first goal and their supporters went almost wild, but when in a few minutes Lucknow tied the score, the cheers were almost deafening. Luck - 'now again scored in short order, then during a scrimage Wingliam did the trick and Lucknow followed, leaving the score 3 to 2 in favor of Lucknow -at half time After five minutes' rest, play was resumed, and before long it was easily seen that the soft condition of the ice was telling on the players, but everybody fought bravely and was bound to win.

If the captain of the Wingharn team would take off his skates he would make an excellent football player. He kicks at everything and sometimes at nothing. Ripley ONTARIO'S GE. Developement of the North- western Properties. ENCOURAGING RESULTS. In an article in the Daily Globe of a few days ago, headed as above, a description was given of a number of the most promising properties of the Lake of the Woods district, among others mentioning some of the proper- ties held by the Rainy River Gold Mining Co. (Limited), of which Mr. J. G. Murdoch, of this place, is Vice - President. As a large number our readers held stock in this company we quote the reference regarding it, which will be found below :- MINI RIVER MINING CO. In August last this company started operations on the Wilmor properties, six miles eAst of Hat Portage, adjoin- ing the wain line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. They have 380 acres of mining land there, on which thirteen diffsrent veins have been found. 1;efore the snew fell they Fut down it nuinber of test pits to ascer- tain values. They have traced the well know a Scramble fahlband yein over 2,000 feet across one of their lots. The continuation shows the same characteristics and values as at the Scramble mine, three-quarters of a mile distant. On one of Wiln3or lots there is a well-defined fissure vein the ore from which assays from 85 to;, 824 per ton. On this a shaft is being put down. Only a few days ago a night shaft was put or% and the shaft is now going down at the rate of eighteeo inches per day. It has at this writing reacbed the depth of 44 feet. Besides the Wilmor the Rainy River Company own four Iota near the weii-known Stella mine, two about three miles from Keewatin and one in Big Stone Bay, being three islande intersected by a very promis- ing vein. They have in addition just acquired four locations near Falcon Lake, northwest of Shoal Lake. From one of the veins on these assays ot 1195 and 1238 of gold per ton were obtained from selected samples. The vein is nine feet in width, a careful test of the ore giving an average of 822.80 of gold per ton. Portions of this vein show visible gold. It is the intention of the management to mine and ship this ore immediately. A IMPUTATION. To the Editor of the Sentinel.
