Dr. Oronhyatekha, the Supreme Chief Ranger of the I. 0. F., writes to say that the reported dissensions iu the Or- der at Chicago were confirmed totwo or three disgrunted. members who de- sired to control the High Court of Illi- nois and the subordinate courts in Chi- cago to their own advantage and quite independent of the laws governing these bodies. He caused the two mem- bers to be suspended; hence "the tem- pest in the teapot" raised by them, He has also telegrams from all over the Western States where courts are estab- lished to the effect that there is no truth whatever in the reports of dissen- sien circulated by the Chicago breth• ren.

Bicycles Cost too Minch. The manufacture of bicycles is car- ried on by special machines construe -- ed for the purpose, which not only save a large amount of time, but are accur- ate as to results, and greatly cheapen the output.

Newspaper Ben's Privileges. The Stratford Herald sagely says: Newspaper men are often the subjects of envy on the part of misinformed peo ple, because of the many privileges they are supposed to enjoy. It is a quite common, though erroneous belief, that it cost newspaper men nothing to travel also that they can get free thea- tre tickets in any quantity in any city and some even believe that the best hotels will accommodate us for the hon- or of the thing. Unfortunately these surmises have no foundation in fact; but, while we seldom want for circus tickets when Stratford is visited, there are scores of other things we want, and want, and want, and no doubt will con- tinue to want until the last dead heat is buried and every reader learns to pay his subscription promptly in ad- vance.

Pasmore, 498 Elizabeth street London, formerly editor of this paper and Patriotic Canadian, London, had a difference with his wife op Saturday night, and things became so.. interest- ing for the latter that she had him ar- rested. Pasmore was a very peni- tent -looking man as he faced the po- lice magistrate yesterday, and ex pressed great surprise at his being landed behind the bars. But he went on to add that he had been looking for work for nearly a year, was unable to secure any, and after a few words. he completely lost control of himself. Mrs. Pasmore appeared in court, and was of two opinions -whether or not to withdraw the complaint. She was afraid her husband would repeat the offence. He had thrown a grip and other articles at her, but she really be- lieved he was temporarily insane, " I will give him one more trial, however," said Mrs. Pasmore, and the pair left the court room together.

To Cow Owners.. • In view of the fact that a great many cattle have been killed at public crossings, Mr. N. Peterson has been in- strupted to give notice to the owners of cattle running at large that if they do not keep them the legal distance from the track the company will take legal action against them and held them re- sponsible for any damage that may oc- cur through their cattle. set it Again. This summer will not be exceptional from past seasons in the way of breechy- cow nuisances. Mr. Alex. McNevin is the first to our notice who has suffered this year, and we think it is really too bad, after a man puts in all his spare time outside of his working hours cul- tiyating his garden and then have it all destroyed by a nuisance, in way of a breechy cow. We know a person who reported to the owner of a certain cow last year of considerable damage done to his garden but was simply laughed at for his trouble. This is not the only way in which cattle are a nuisance. People going home on dark nights, invariably have to walk around one or more bovines lying on the side- walks. We do not care whether any of our citizens have one or a million cows running the streets, but we do think it justice that they keep their an- imals shut in at night time and the only way that this can be accomplished is to petition our council board to en- act a by-law, that no cows be allowed on the streets after 7 o'clock at night - unless in charge of its owner. The mayor of a western city, noted for its healthful situation, not long ago received the following letter from one who wanted information: "Please let me know the weekly and mnntly deth satisticks of your Citty and what the Favorite diseazed of your Climate is and when they prevail the worst and how many result in fatal deth. Also the high and low Tompatoor and in regards to the wind blowing and at what per cent per mile it blows and if sycloues -are frequent enough to be unpleasant and what Precaution is ne- cessary to escape being blowel away Anything else about your Climete an Diseazes will be thankfully received." Last week at Bloomfield, Ont , a fight took place between a horse and a hull dog. •William H. Young, of Linden avenue, heard a noise in his stable about noon and found a bull -dog own- ed'by Louis King with his teeth. em- bedded in the horse's nose. The ani- mal was pawing with his forefeet, vain- ly endeavoring to trample on the dog. Mr. Young tried to make the dog let go by using a pitchfork, but he could not, and he shouted for help, and the dog was knocked senseless by the blow. As soon as the dog dropped the horse sprang upon him with both fore feet and then, seizing the dog in his teeth, shook the life out of him. Mt•. Young and his assistants were obliged to re- sort to hereto measures agate to make the horse to loosen his hold ou the dead dog. The axe was used to pry open the jaws of the horse. The horse's WO was badly torn by the dog. Try!. $rokhers For...... .CHEAP GOODS! We have a quantity of Summer Dress Goods on hand which we will sell you at prices that will open your eyes. Yes!
