Unless this be adhered to, some steps will be necessary to prevent serious damage to the paths. P. M. COURT. - Wm. '-'005Eltie Vg11.13 summoned before the P. M. to answer a, charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. The case arose over the sale of a horse which the com- plainant, Joseph Jardine, claimed was not as good as reported to the buyer. The P. M. did not settle the matter, but sent it up to a higher court, allowing defendant out on bail. E. L. Dancey watched the case for the plaintiff. The county attOrney ap- peared for the Crown, and the de- fendant conducted his own defence. BUILDING Noncs.-W. W.

LEGAL Nome -Mail and Empire : W.C. Goderich.--eine.-A father died, leaving an estate by Will to four child- ren, ene of whom is appointed sole executor. Is it necessary to oetain a' probate of the will ? Ans.-The children shoeld je-t the will proved as quickly as possible. The executor cannot collect the debts that were owing to his father. In fact, he can do nothing under the will, until it hae been proved. No person knows that the paper or doeu- ment which he alleges dvas executed by his father, and under which he claims to be executor of hie father'a estatc, is the last will, or that it is a will at 'all, until probate has been granted, by the Surrogate Court. Foos SCOBE AND Timex. -Th ere passed away on Monday last, in her 84th year, Catherine Akan, beloved wife of Peter Fisher, of Colborne. The dear old lady crossed the river full of years and honors, breaking a dear partnership of oyer 68 years' standing. Her remains were interred in the family plot, Colborne Cemetery, on Wednesday afternoon, in presence of a very large elerober of relatives and friends. The funeral took place from the family residence, lot 6, con. 2, Rev. Mr. Dishier officiating at the house and at the grave. her sons Peter. Abraham and Charles, and her sons -In-law, Wm. Blake, Geo. Neibe- gall and Jas. McClure. being the pall- bearera. The late Mrs. Fisher was born in Germany, and came to Canada 80 years since, her family settling in the neighborhood of Waterloo, where she married her now bereaved hus- band some 63 years since, and from whence she efterwards terooved to Colbotne. In the new home the de- ceased lady was one of the foremost residents, and many have lived and are now living who have blessed ber kindly ministrations. She wag the mother of thirteen children, ten of whom are now living : Mrs. Wm. Blake, town • Mrs. Mc011ure, Colborne; Mrs. Moyer, 'London ; Ell, North Da- kota ; Mrs. Austin, Muskoka; Mrs. Young, Walkerton ; Mrs. Goebel, town ; and Peter, Charles and Abra- ham, of Colborne. Among the rela- tives from a distance, preelent at the interment weree:George Neibegall, of Windsor •, Mrs. Austin, of Muskoka , Mr. and Mts. Young, of Walkerton; and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Moyer, of London. The sympathy of all Huron- itee is with the children and husband of the deceased lady, particularly with the old gentleman, not in the best of health, who irleft to sorrow, after a marriage that existed for nearly two thirds of a century. Chen CnAtt4 Dismisszn.-Unusual interest was 'thown in the case of Joseph Wagstaff, one of the men summoned by Pigott and Co. for a breach of contract, which was dee cided by the P. M. op Monday eve- ning. The court View crowded, and as soon as the counsel in the ease appear- ed, the P. M. delivered an elaborate judgment. After stating that he did not care to undertake the case a8 flrst made as a criminal one, he said that Mr. Pigott's movement in the nuttter was on purely bushman principles ; he having seen an advertisement offering to furnish men, had wired for twenty English speaking tuen at 15 be 17e cents per hour. Having made, as he thought., satisfactory arrangements, he wired the tickets for the men. Wagstaff claimed that they were en- gaged for other work than the pick and sboVel, and agreed to go to Gode. resit, all getting free transportation ticket.% Just before leaving, they were asked to sign a paper, whioh they did, hut he declared they did not sign an • agreement. From the eyidence, said the P. Melt appeare the men were deceived, and though all the cages were not equally strong, he thought the men were all honest in their contentions, or when they left work they would not have started on oot to travei baek edentreal. His ndin `was in favor of the defendant, hitt W thout costa. Mr. Blair held that t num In -Montreal was the ageut of the men, not of Mr. Pigott, but the M. held to hislinding. Mr. Blair the seilted.thit the other eases be atijou ed till he he'd consulted evIth the ntiff. Mr. Johnston ob- jected, fts e chArgee had been 4n court ,sferee tit lOth day of October, and he thetigye the jadgmene should beer 'on the o „ter ektarges. Mr. Ruin- ber sale h ',thought his judgMent shotIld bear the other charges, but finally con ted to adjourn then' to a date to be Mud evert by .the counsel engsged'ini his case. buTcatIOLL 64 TODD. Publlehnee St a Year In Advance-W.6n Credit Lam Thter.•"-The funeral of the late P. F. MacPherson, who died in London, was held from reel- denoe in Clinton on Sunday. It was perhaps' the largeot and Lima rep- resentattve seen in the county of Hu- ron for many Year% evidencing the tinivereaVesteern In which the deceas- ed was 'held. Brothers from Britigh Columbie and Indiana, a. eister from Goderich, and eons from Ottawa and Stratferd Were in attendance. Pew - Emily thewhole populetion of Clinton anti miles of the surrounding country Joined with the mourners. Many Mende freru a distance came to pay their [need of respect to deceased. Goderich sent a large [lumber of eor- rowing friends. From St. Thonaas and Fingel, where Mr. Macpherson was well known. a number of friends drove on Sunday morning to London. where a large gathering was in wait- ing at the Grand Trunk station. The whole party was taken by train to Clinton. Through the foresight and energy of a, little group of their friend% deceased's close personal friends in London, a special train was eecured and an opportunity to attend the funeral was afforded to inany who could not have otherwise been pres- ent. On the train from London were about 60 of the friends of the deceased, and among them were repreeentatives of the manufacturing and buainess in- terests of that city. The funeral ser- vice was chnducted by Rev. A. Stew- art, of Clinton. The pall -bearers were selected from the most prominent citizens of the county of Huron. There were many and beautiful floral offer ings, atnoug them being tributes front the Manufacturers' Association, from friends in London, from friends in Goderich, Clinton and many other places. • BRIEF TOWN TOPICS. Apple shipments, by the cur, will end this week. Chas. Bates is still making apple barrels. though the season egenear its close. Manager Thomson, of the Engine Works, has moved into the dwelling next the Saulta House, on East street. Wm. Kneesbaw, in a half day's shooting on Tuesday bagged 7 rabbits, thus showing that the cotton tails are still plentiful. Last Friday, Robt. Clark fell down the cellar at Sturdy & (Jo's., but for- tunately broke no bones, though he was ecenewhat bruised. Wm. Menlo beats all growers of beets, at least so he Melina, his mam- moth heat weighing 9t lbs. and meas- uring 2 feet 2 inches by 2 feet. The G. T. R, sent out 200 loaded cars the past week, and is receiving one or more specials daily, with the view of moving wheat from the eievator. The satchel found, advertised in last week's STAR, was claimed by the owner,' a COI:borne lady. STAR ads. bring results, and :hey don't cost much. Mr. John Watkins, of Clinton, with the assistance qf only two men, has so far this season packed, handled and shipped for Robert Elliott, of Gocie- rich, about 1,500 barrels of apples, which is considered exceedingly good work. The STAR'S circulation continues to increase. the latest additions being from St. Helens, Auburn, Dungannon, Clinton, Goderich, and other points. We thank our many friends for push- ing a good thing along, and are plena - ed to know that our earnest efforts to prodnce a superior newspaper. are tie- ing appreciated. "Citizen" is again reminded that his name must be furnished to the editor before his communication can appear in THE STAR. This is the fixed rule of all newspapers. While not disput- ing- the correctness of h is statements, of which we know nothing. his com- plaints are too serious to be madeln print on an anonymoue letter. The special committee of the Huron Press Associetion, Messrs. Kerr of Brussels, Br•adwin of Blyth, Sanders of Exeter, A. M. Todd of Goderich, and W. McLean of Seaforth, met In the latter town last Friday turd trans- acted considerable business. The general meeting will bc held in Clin- ton on Friday, Dec. 2nd., insteml of Nov. 245th. 1.*:A family on East street had a very close call, from coal gas, on Friday night teat. About one a. In. a mem- ber complained of a headaohe, another. got up to get him water, and going down stairs was overpowered and fell; another followed and also suc- cumbed, hut the next one t o rise male for the door and opened it, and by this action no doubt saved all their lives. The whole family, though very sick for a time, are now all well. A local dealer takes it for granted that the "piano agent," a stranger, who made so many calls in Goder•ich during the election, refers to a highly respected business firm in Goderich. Far from it. People whu want to buy goods in any line should patron- ize our own business people. Elec- tions have nothing ta do with busi- ness mattera, and that it, the reason a "stranger" should not be can vas - Ing to the detriment of local dealers. Mr. George Lethbridge, organist, of Knox church, will give a recital and chorus program in the church some time in the first or second week of December. He haa in training a fine chorus of 60 voices, and they ate mak • ing good progress with some of the flnest and most popular masterpieces. In addition. Mrs. Meleillop (nee Miss Eva Roblyn) of London, and Mr, Ed- ward Webster, hase soloist, also ot that city, will give special numbers. A delightful evening may be antici- pated. Last Friday a farmer offering a load of cordwood for 82110 on the mar- ket refused to sell it any other way than by the load, though the town by• law gays that it nmst he sold by the cord ; consequentij a complaint woo made before the . M., who issued n summons. The defendent pleaded guilty, stating he was not aware of the law, and the P. M. impoeed nominal fine, RA it waa a first offenee. it will be seen now that when a htiver demands, wood mum. he liold by the cord. The Meinter Glee Singers, of London, England. have been making a splendid impreasion wherever they have lip- p,eared, by their magnificent eine ing. Nothing to approach it has ever been heard In this country, aa far ae part songs and quartettes are concerned. The Halifax Chronicle says : "The Meister Glee Singere nppeAred nt the Empire Theatre last night, tinder the Auspices of the Northweet Arm Row- ing Club, for the flee concert of their CAtiadian tour.

To the Electors of the Province of °uteri° : "Driven to bay and alarmed at the righteous indignation of tbe people, the Provincial Government, which for several years ims held office by tneatts of fraud and crime, is about to make a last and desperate appeal to the cen- stituencies. "In order that the large majority of the people, those who desire clean, honest and decent goyernntent, may have an epportunity to diecties the situation, I have instructed the offic- ers of the Coneervative Asso- ciation of the Province to ask the members of the associatiou and also repres e it tati v es from t e municipal '- ties to meet at Aesociation, Hall, in the city of Toronto, on Thursday, Nov. 24th, 1904, at 2 o'clock p. tn. In tuldition I invite repreeentative erten in each constitueney, no matter what their petty affiliatione way be. and who sympaillize with our °Wear), to attetni • also, and help us by their advice and encouragement. "In the presence of great public peril ;tarty -designation and difference; aro ot ettcondary importance. Honesty Comes First. "The fleet great necesnity of the mituation is clean, honest and decent government. The policy of the Op- position in the Legislature is familiar to the people. and has received their endorsement and ratification by a ma jority of six or seven thousand votes. To this record we point with pride. " The question of increasing the meant. of obtaining agricultund in- struction by adding it M the curri- culum in the High Schools and Col- legiate inetitutee, and providing par- cels of land for practical work, aud also the question of the encourage- ment of systeme of sewage in towns and villages, are among the questions advocated by us. Public Ownership. "Legielation should be had to facili- tate acqUirement by municipalities on preiper and reasonable terms of all public utilities, and also to provide machinery for the prompt settlement of dieputes between capital and labor. "At the last seesion of the Legiala- ture the Opposition proposea that the Terniskarning Railway, constructed and owned by the Government, should be operated by the Province for a term of years. This opportunity for a practical test of government operation of railways wan voted down by the Government. "The attitude of the Opposition on the question of the proper assessment of railway property was made clear by their efforts to pass the Pettypiece bill as a basis for action -effort whieh failed when the promoter of the bill abandoned it and joined the Govern- ment in killing it. These are some of the quest ions 00 which the people are Interested. -Hut, I repeat, the first great neces- sity of the situat ion is clelui,horient o rid decent government. We Ore all fain - Mar with Lite humiliating story of the iniquitieto whieh have been pernetaat- ed and by meant; of which a minority Premier has been enabled -and, alas I -has also- been willing --to defy public decency and flaunt before the people his enjoyment of a petition which he notoriously hot& by virtue of such in i• (lollies.

"In the fare of the public danger, 4Lnd In order to afford irn opportunity to avert it, I have called this meeting. P. WH ITNEY. "'Toronto, Nov. 14th, 1904." GREAT CONSERVATIVE CONFERENCE.

The Ontario elections cannot be much longer delayed. ROSS should go. No government ahould be in office over thirty years. The people will surely be aroused to aense of duty and make it ()hang°. Previous to the election, Mte Rebates said in his paper that his post office address would be Clinton until after the eleetion. His present address has not since been made public. According to Mr. Holmes, those HWIett Reform Orangemen who sup• poeted and worked for him, must be lied lot of people. Tine STAit would suggest that the late member make peace among his friends. The Executive of the West Huron Conservative Aasociation met in Clinton last Friday, and decided to hold the annual meeting and nomina- ting convention at Auburn, on Mon- day, Nov. 28. It is expected to be one of the largest gatherings in the history of the Association. The Conservatives of Goderich are earnestly requested to attend the annual meeting to be hold in the rooms on East street, on Tuesday evening next, to elect ofticere for the ensuing year, -appoint delegates to the convention on the 28th, and transact busineas generally.

This is a development of educationel methods that bas proved popular in the rural districts of the United States. It admits of grading, and develops a stronger spirit of emulation among the scholars, who have larger classes with which to compete. Another source of strength is the added inter- est in the work given to the teachers by daily association with each other, and exchangeof experiences and ideas. The school that luta been opened at Guelph is in the nature of an experi• nent; but there Is every reason to ex- pect it will prove successful.
