SIR OLIVER'S TROUBLES. •
It is often -said thet trouble never
comes singly, and so it would seem
with Sir Oliver Mowat. Whether at
his ads*anced epe, having just obsereed
bis74th birthday, he will bo able to
stand the storm and steer his barque
through the troubled waters of Ontar.
to's political sea, is to say the least
very questionable, TO begin with, the
Patrons. of Industry must be met and
reconciled on sundry matters iii which
they are so far opposed to the Provin-
cial Premier's past policy that they
contested several of the constituencies
against the .ntnisterial candidates,
Then the P. P. A's have to be reckoned
With lu. regard to Sir Oliver's patron.
age and favor shown toRcman Catho
lies; and the fact that, under the in-
spiration of Archbishop Cleary, his co
religionists polled a solid vote for the
Ontario government will furnish Pro-
testant members of Legislature with a
powerful argument for checkmating
the tactics hitherto pursued towards
R. C. Institutions. B n t a more serious
trouble than either of those mentioned
above has loomed up to disturb the
equanimity of Sir Oliver and his po
litical confreres. We refer to the very
determined stand taken by the French
spec'
in Catholics of Eastern Ontario
to secure a portfolio in the Cabinet for
Mr. Evanturel, M. P. P. for Prescott.
This gentleman stands high in the
ranks of the Reform party, and repre-
sents eto fewer the.. some one hundred
thousand of his countrymen in the
Eastern counties—who are bitterly op.
posed to the IrishBoman Catholics as
to the dispensing of government pat-
ronage. Mr. Harty, the rejected candi-
date for Kingston, who wrs Archbishop
Cleary's man--ai.'ld had received the
appointment of Miliistee of Public
Works --cannot of eourse take his un

found for him, but meantime the 100,

claire for representation in the Cabi
net, and unless Mr. Evanturel is recog-
nized by Sir Oliver there will be troub-

down East for mfkinr• their voice heard
at a series of public meetings in Pres-
cott, Stormont, Russell, and Glengarry
as well as hi the city of Ottawa, for the
purpose of firing a boomerang, into
the government ranks. And w•h a it
is consis1.exed. thsat, ::recording to recent
reckoning, Sir Oliver and his Cabinet
represent only a minority of the elec-
torate of Ontario, it is clear as noonday
that the Premier's position is anything
but comfortable or enviable, The prob-
abilities are that wheu the election pro-
tests are ended, the Ontario Cabinet
will find themselves in a still smaller
minority—and that on the meeting of
the Legislature Mee Meredith will be
asked to form a good working ministry
that will reform past abuses, and give
the patrons and others those legislative
improvements which they have hither-
to demanded in vain.

cents worth of flesh heat is consumed

Eupheniia: A very sad accident
which proved fatal to Master John E
Harris, lot 27, con. 1, happened • on
Saturday morning. It seems that
while Johnny and his brother wore

manageable, and he in his efforts to

between the horses. The wheels of
the wagon passed over the boy's head
and neck, crushing his skull in a horn

Florenee at the time of the accident,

Johnnie was dead ere either reached

ONTARIO ELECTION PROTESTS

"The election of M. Y. McLean as M. P.
P. for South Huron, is 'complained of
by David Mill, Esq., of the Village of
Exeter, in a petition filed on his behalf
by Messrs_ Laiclla se.. Kappele S. Bick-
eelh agents for L. H. Dickson, of Exe
ter. The petition is /eery similiar in -
terms to the West Huron petition, al-
leging that Mr. McLean is ineligible/
for the same reas on as Mr. Garrow, but
in addition claiming a scrutiny and
the seat for Mr. David Weislniller, the
defeated candidate."

John Larkworthy, late on Wednesday
night, and, after hatching a horse to a
buggy, drove of in the direction of
Stratford. .Bet ww eon four and five o'clock
next morning; they returned, and put
the horse and rig back where they had
taken them from, uloticed, as they
supposed, but their movements were
closely watched by our constable, Mr.

Mr. Larkworthy will prosecute the two
young rascals, and as they are old of
fenders Magistrate Flagg will not like

west of the towu, who states that the

A Bad Little Boy.
Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 4th,--A.small
towheaded boy, with big blue eyes and
freckles almost as big, sat in the Cen-
tral police station last night surr'otnd
ed by a „roup of happy police officials
and detectives. His name is Marcus
Krokserg, and the officers were glad
to see him. Marcus is a trifle over 9
years old. Besides ` making immense
trouble for the polies force, he carne
near burning up a portion of Milware
kee on several occasions.. It is Mar-
cus' idea of fun to set fire to barns and
steal horses. He has been at this work
for over a month, and would still be at
it if detectives had not captured him.
He has caused six fires that he remem-
bers of, and runaways of something
like a dozen horses. In the horse steal-
ing line he was adept. He would jump
into a buggy, drive out into the coun-
try, turn. the horst{ loose and trudge
back home. Twice he sold rigs to men
for 60 cents, saying he had just found
the horse straying down the street,
The boy is too young to be sent to the

to place him in some charitableinstitu-
tion, His latest feat was to steal a
purse containing $25 from a Mrs. Fain,

It is with pleasure that we call at•
tentioa to the advertisement, which ap-
pears in this issue, of the Great ]fair,
for such it has grown to be. It is now
second to no Live Stock and Agricul.
rural Exhibition on this continent.
Ever since 1568 it has steadily increas
ed in size and importance, and is now
looked forward to as an annual source
cf enjoyment as well as instruction to
desirable
the people of Canada. It isde ite
that these Fairs should be maintained
for the benefit of alt, but especially the
farming community, as they afford op-
portuuities for sesurg the steady ad-
vancements in agricultural machinery
the improvements in live stock, and
numerous new varieties in field and
garden products, together with the lat-
est inventions of all. kinds. Each year
brings its requirements and necessary
improvements in the grounds and
Buildings. This year it is along the
live of "public comfort," and the 1)i•
rectors have decided to expend some
of their surplus funds in this direction,
and the visitors to the wuSTLRi rare
of 1594 will find themselves better pro-
vided for than by any other Fair As,
soci:itiou in this province.
The exhibition of Live Stock of all
kinds promises to excel, in excellence
and numbers, past nun.bers, past years
and the exhibits of Agricultural and
Horticultural products only depend up-
on the pruductin r of the country for,
as in the past, specimens of every des-
cription will be on exhibition.
The alterations being made in the
internal arrangements of the Manufac-
turers' and Liberal Arts Building will
add largely to the heretofore attractive
very
v
displays, and already several-
wealthy firms have signified their in-
tention to expend considerable money
on fitting up their sections and some
extra fine exhibits may be looked for.
The speeding in the ring will equal
any exhibition ever given by the As-
sociation, as some of the fastest horses
in the country are now entered and all
the events will be hotly contested. •
The special feature, many' of which
have been already engaged, are the
best for exhibition purposes that can
be procured The Special Attractions
Committee are alive to the public de-
mand for this branch of the Show and
have spared neither time nor money in
making their selections. Among those
already secured are the famous Gre
cio-Roman Hippodrome & Chariot Rap-
ing Company; The Kemp Sisters; a
new feature in Balloon Racing, a lady
and gent going up on one ballocn and
racing down on separate parachutes,
making a very exciting act; Professor
Calverley, Niagara's Hero on the High
Wire, who gave such a daring exhibi-
tion last year, and who met with so
serious an accident, which was noted
throughout the Press of the Continent
and Europe; The Celebrated European
Eccentric Grotesque Pantomimist; The
Albions, originators of the Acrobatic
Comedy; C. W. Jarrett, American's
Greatest Illusionist; "Rajan's" Wonder-
ful Table Pyramid; Trained Seals, Al
ligators, Prarie Dogs; and the best
Pyrotechnie Displays ever given on
their grounds.
Intending exhibitors should make
their entries at once, and those desir-
ing Prize Lists, Programs or any in-

Wonderful Results From Taking

"Pour years ago while in the old country

`rom the hospital, as the doctors there could do
nothing to help her, and said she Would neves
be any better. She was in a very low condition
with consumption of the lungs and bowels, and
weak action of the heart. The trip across the
water to this country seemed to make her feel
better for a while. Then she began to get
worse, and for 11 weeks sbpl was unable to gel
off the heel. She grew worse for five months and

Slie would have spells when her heart would
pain her, and then, with the outside door open
in mid -winter, would faint away. Physicians,
after holding a consultation,
Said She Was Past All Melp

my hand up she should not go, and about this
time a kind neighbor came in and asked me to
g^t a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla and try it.
We did so and site has taken the medicine
regularly. She is getting strong, walks around,

throat and no cough, and her heart seems to be
ail right again. She has a first class appetite;
