The third party suspected of being
'Implicated in the robbery of Muir's
woollen mill here on the morning of
Nay 25 was placed behind the bars
be London on Friday. His name is
John Hodgins. He is a married man, a
blacksmith by trade, and conducted a
business in a small vil lage calledg uflalo,
isn McGillivray. Hodgins was arrested
by Constable R. W. Ward, of London
West. Three pairs of pants and sev-
eral other articles, alleged to have
been taken from the mill, were found
%B his house. The preliminary hear -
ug in the case of Wells Sholdice and
Edward Sholdice, of McGillivray, -the
other two prisoners, was begun before
Squire J B. Smyth Friday morning,
and at 1 o'clock was adjourned. Only
two witnesses were examined. John
Muir, head of the firm of Muir & Co.,
related the circumstances of the rob-
bery and estimated his loss at $300.;
Healso identified some of the clothing
worn by the prisoners as similar to that
stolen from the mi 11. The mother of
the prisoners, Eliza Sholdice. was also
,examined. She stated that Wells had
been in Exeter on the night of May 24.
Re left home about 7 o'clock and did'
not get back till daybreak the next
morning. Edward, however, was in
Parkhill on the Queen's Birthday. Mrs.
Sholdicetold of the boys bringing the
goods to her, but she never questioned
them as to bow they got them. The
.case was resumed Friday afternoon.
Provincial Detective, Joseph E. Rod-
gers, of Toronto, testified that Edward
Sholdice had given many contradictory
accounts as to how he came in posses-
sion of the clothing, one story being
that the articles were bought in Inger
soil and another that they were se-
cured near London. "Shouldice finally
told me that the reason of his giving
so many different yarns was on ac-
count of his brother Wells telling him
to say where he got the articles," con
eluded Rodgers. Constable Ward's
evidence corroberated this. The case
was argued by counsel, and both pris-
oners were sent up for` trial. On Sat-
urday they were brought up to plead.
Both pleaded not guilty, and they el
ected trial by jury. They will conse-
quently come up at the December ses-
sions. Bail was allowed for the elder
brother, Wells, himself in $800 and two
sureties of $400 each. Edward's bail
was fixed at $200 personally, and one
surety of $100, The younger brother
found bail, but Wells will remain in
jail. It was not long after young
Shouldice got bail, before the hand of
law was again placed upon him, and
he was locked up onanother charge of
burg)ariy. He is said to have broken
into the store of Fred Brown, Claude.
boye, and carried away a quantity of
goods. Shouldice pleaded guilty to the
offence before Squire Revington, of
Biddulph and was sent up for trial. He
was landed in jail Monday.

A "tell tale" milk jug has just been
devised in England. It is a glass
measure graduated at every quarter
pint. Below the pint and half pint
marks three lines are etched showing
the thickness of cream which should
appear in milk of average quality., in
good and in very good milk, thus
meaeuring both quantihy and quality'.
It is to be hoped that such a useful
measure will soon make its•appearance
in the Dominion.
Messrs. Perkins & Martin whose
advertisement appears in another col-
umn are doing good business these
days. Last week they put out two
organs and Monday of this week they
put out two more. Messrs Perkins &
Martin are an enterprising firm and
the superior musical instruments, sew-
ing machines and bicycles which they.
handle, is what is keeping, up their
good reputation. We cheerfully re-
commend them to our readers.
We understand that those of our
merchants who handle Christmas goods
are making preparations for the grand
est displays of holiday presents and
bric-a-brac ever exhibited i Exeter.
It is now to be seen which of them
will have the finest window dis-
play. We maintain that there are
several window decorators in Exeter
who stand second to none in the coun-
try. Children are already talking
"Santa Claus" and their demands will
require a large and varied assortment
to fill the supply.
The preliminary hearing in the case
of John Hodgins, was held before Squire
J. B. Smyth at the court house Lon-
don Tuesday. There were no new de-
velopments in the case, the evidence
being largely a repetition of that given
against the Sholdice boys. Seyera.l of
tife articles of clothing found in Hed-
ging' house were positively identified
by Muiras stolen from the null, and
Constable Ward said that Hodgins ad-
mitted being in Exeter at the time of
the robbery. Hodgins was Committed
ttIi trial. He was subsequently brought
before Judge William Elliott 6lected
trial by jury and committed to the De-
ueMber sessions.. Bail was accepted,

Death of Ruch Ross.
The many friends of Mr. Hugli Ross,
Winnipeg, Man:, will learn with ex-
ceedingly deep regret of his demise.
As was stated in these colums last
week Mr. Ross was afflicted with spinal.
disease, caused by a fall received here
some years ago. After several days of
intense suffering he succumbed to its
deathly powers on Tuesday last. Mr.
Ross was a resident of Exeter some
years ago, and while here was married
to Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Mr.
David Johns, post -master. He was
37 years of age. His remains will be
interred at Winnipeg.
The Montreal Witness'
One of the sights of Montreal is a
visit to the 'Witness' office, which for
internal elegance, ,convenience and
completeness of equipment has few
rivals anywhere. One's attention is
arrested on the sidewalk by seeing
through a •window a Chinaman pa
tiently turning a crank withthe air
of one who has a contract for a cen-
tury of faithful labor, and means to
fulfil it, The Chinaman is made of
wood and for steady, patient, endless
toil, commend us to a wooden China-
man. Making bold to go in we find
ourselves in an enviable public office
with tiled floor, hot house flowers and
what not, Then we were piloted up a
spiral stair, through the great editorial
room, to the battery of linotypes which
are the marvel of the nineteenth cen-
tury as Gutenberg'smovable types were
of the awakening life of the fifteenth.
The great Hoe press of the 'Witness,'
which prints almost any number of
pages, from two to thirty-two, is the
very best complete machine anywhere.
Close beside it you are shown on en-
quiry a patch on the floor which marks
the spot where exploded the famous
bomb some months ago, which the
'Witness' doubtless owed to its active
and effective war against gamblers and
bunco steerers,a class which by expos-
ure and clever caricature it has man-
aged to drive from the city, or at least
to deprive of the open tolerance and
public freedom which they before en
toyed at the hands of sympathetic offi-
cials. The stand for law and order
taken by the 'Witness' lately resulted
in an investigation of the detective
system of Montreal, which has revealed
the need of some revolutionary change.
The paper is devoted to temperance
