MORE VIEWS ON RECIPROCIT Y.
A Better and Steadier Market.
Alex. Young. ex Reeve of Colborne.
says : The trade agreement with the
United States negotiated try Messes.
Fielding and Paterson will be a Resat
boon to the farmers. i believe it will
add probably 81,000 to the value of
every 100-acas farm in the township.
It will give us a steadier market. at
higher prices, for. our cattle. The
duty of 75e. on Iambs which formerly
suet the Canadian exporter at the
border istaken off. and the farmer
who raises the lambs will get the ben-
efit. it will improve the horse trade.
The Yankees will not stick at any
price if they can .gilt an enteral that
suits them. our wed Winter apples
will have a better'market, and in off
years, when we have nt. tipples, we
will not object tc having them

A Conservative Who Will Vote for Red-

known farmer of Aeldield township,

though, believe that the agreement
ought to have a fair chance. i Aon,. a
Conservative. and never voted fot the
ldheraLparty in my life, hut i know
that Sir John Macdonald wanted reci-
procity with the Stateeend eouldn't get
it, and when Sir Wilfrid Laurier atter
all these years is able to obtain ani
favorable an agreement—just such an
agreement as Sir John wanted --I
think it would be vary foolish not to
accept it.. There were Conservatives
and Liberals both in the deputation
which waited on the Government at
Ottawa last December. and when the
Government does what the farmers
request it 10 do I think the farmers
are hound to support it. i am going
to vote for reciprocity when I get a
chance to do so. and I know other
Conservative farmers who intend to
do the same."

would be impossible then for her to

greatly angered him before he stabbed

that rage I(uted in t hat way was
very unreasonable, but that is not

The Verdict.
The case was given to the jury at
noon and the Court adjourned until
1:15. When the Court resumed at the
appointed hour the jurymen safere
again in their places.
"Gentlemen of the jury. have you
Agreed upon a verdict?" Clerk Mc-
Donald Asked. -
"We have," several replied.
"What is it?"
Thele was • moment's pause,
and in a deep silence throughou' the
room George Andrew, of Elitnville,
arose, no foreman having been named,
and announced :
,Wes found the prisoner guilty."
For the first time since the trial
opened. the public had been admitted
without restriction other than the
limit of 'accommodation in the court-
roo.u. There were even a couple of
women in the crowd. Window sills
were used as meats and every foot of
standing morn was occupied.
Crown Prosecutor Blackstock and
Clown Attorney- Seager had not en -
feted the room, so unexpected was the 1
return of the jury. 'When they came
in. the tormet• moved the sentence of
the Conrt upon the prisoner.
•'Stand up, ,latdine," ordered the
clerk. "Have you anything to say
why .entente should not be passed on
you
for the crime you haye commit -
r
"No," was the reply.
•'It is not my practice," said the
Chief Justice in eddrewing the pris-
oner, "under these circumstances to
'add to the tet ror of the situation by
dwelling upon the enormity of the
crime the prisoner has emus tted.
if you have not by this time realized
the terrihle nature of your offence, it
is impossible that any worde of mine
could tuake you do so. In passing
sentence upon you 1 would menus -
mend you not to have any hope of the
commutation of this sentence or its
lessening to any ter,' of imprison-
ment ; but I would recommend you to
spend the remaining dais left you on
earth in preparation for the judgment
of the world to come."
On Menta Condition.
"Now it is stated by the prisoner's
counsel that the defenee must rest up-
on the mental condition of the pris-
oner. i by no means agree with him
that there was not n case even with-
out any confessions. The case was one
which oever for a moment did I think
of withdrawing from the jury. The
prisoner was seen with this girl as late
as ten minutes to ten at night. He
was the last person in whose company
she was ever seen alive. There is his
coming, after some compo on. to see
Mr. Seager. and.Lhen hisMtatements
which are .11 proved to ie false.
"Provincial Detective Greer told
you how he had interviewed a thou-
sand persons, going through the
country. in effort to discover the iden-
tity of this supposed stranger. i need
not dilate upon that. but there is evi-
dence of his having a knife tip to the
very fair day.
"As 1 said before, i only allude to
that in passing In order to sinew that
the Crown had a case which i would
have felt bound to submit to you,
although you might under thoseciecum-
stances have given bim the benefit of
the doubt if it were not for these con-
fessions.
The Confessions.
"These confessions, it was shown,
were not extracted hy any promise or
threat, because if any oMxr secures a
confession by telling a prisoner it
would be better for him to confess.
that confection is worthies,. These
men were far from the idea of entrap-
ping the prisoner to confess, and in
my opinion are men wbo are among
the greatest benefactors of humanity.
The prisoner was [yarned over and
over again that they were there to IA
vestigate his mental condition. There
is no doubt the prisoner at the bar in
flitted these fatal wounds'. It is for
Tbe Sentence.
"The eeat.ence of the court upon
you, Edward Jardine. is that you he

you came. and from there on Fridays
the ltkh of June, be taken to the place
of execution and there be hanged hy

sign of emotion. and shortly ter -
wards he walked from the court w,
ahead of the constable, and was taken
to the jail. It is said that be did not
understand the full purport of the
sentence passed upon him until he
learned it from the coos table on the
way to the jail.
Appeal Refused.
Mr. Dancey re -introduced his re-
quest to be allowed to take to the
Court of Appeal a stated CARA on the
polio of the admission as evidence of
the prisoner's confession, which. he
argued, was extracted hy improper
means.
"i am Int clear about the law that 1
do not think 1 will grant it," said his
lordship. "i might as well refuse as

ADVICE 1
To WOMEN
Women suffering from any form of
Illness are invited to promptly com-
municate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Masa. All letters are received, opened,
read and answered by women. A wo-
man can freely talk
of her private ill-
ness to a woman;
thus has been es-
tablished this con-
tideuce between
Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of
America which has
never been broken.
Never has she pub-
lished a testimonial or used a letter
without the written consent of the
writer, and never has the Company
allowed these coutidential letters to
get out of their possession, as the
hundreds of thousands of them in
their ales will attest.
Ont of the vast volume of experience
which Mrs. Pinkham has to draw
from, 1t is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge needed
in your case. 86e asks nothing in re-
turn except your good will, and her -
advice has helped thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, should be
glad to take advantage of this gener-
ousoffer of astslstance. Address Mrs.
