M4Kr SURE OF IT.
The Allvocees is indebted to the
HamiIton Spectator for the fallowing
concise exposition of the election law
regarding votes for the Legislative As-
sembly. Every man 21 years old should.
seta that his franchise is assumed.
It seems to be exceedingly difficult to
get the people to understand that theme
is a new law ---or rather a further com-
plleaeion of the old complicated laws—
fee the making of lists of voters.
It matters not bow many times a
na;al,lloed xnffrage elector has had his
name on the Het —he frust be registered
or he cannot vote at the coming pre-
viaeial election.
It matters not that a enauhood Suf.
frage elector voted at the recent city
election—he must be registered or be
cannot vote at the coming provincial
election,
It matters not bow much property a
mato owusiend is asseeesed for—if he
does not reside, on the property he can
not vote at the corningP rovineial elec.
tiara unless be is registered. For in.
steno, a titan rias own a nrillioa dal
lace' worth of property in every ward
in the cit} and live at the Igival hotel.
That titan's value will net appear in
the voter', list far the provincial tette
tion unless be is registered.
What the electors have to do is to
thoroughly y underetaud that there has
been: a change in the law", .and that, un,
lees they have been set down as °con
pants of conte property, °wiled or rent
ed they must be registered or forfeit
the right to vote.
Be sure you are on the list,
Na matter bow often you have voted;
no matter how much property you own;
be euro that your name is on the firs:
part of the voters' list, .and if is not
there be sure you are registered, ar
,you will he without a vote.
Remember there has bean a change

The Saturday Review says: "In this

and the United Status, and the strength
of either of these powers, added to Eng-
land, ;In the Pacifica, puts resistance on
the part of Russia, Germany and France,
singly or in combination, outof the ques-
tion. Perhaps the enthusiasm with which
the American newspapers have applauded
the declaration of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer arises from the fact that be
has virtually proclaimed a Monroe doc•
trine for the far East. The Saturday Re-
view remembers no occasion on which a
Cabinet Minister, speaking of such a
crisis, has used the actual word war in
reference to a foreign power. It is a now
departure, but it is calculated that the
indiscretion has produced a good effect
both at home and abroad."
Other Expressions.
The Radical Speaker, instead of oppos-
ing the Government policy, labors to
make sure that Lord Salisbury will not
back down when the test tomos. It urges
the Government to make it clear to the
world that it is not bluffing, but is ready
to follow words with action.
On the same subject, the London cor-
respondent of the New York Evening
Post says:
"England bus spoken the one word
which Lord Palmerston once said was for-
bidden in diplomatic intercourse. Quite
characteristically, she has spoken it
through the mouth of a typical English
country squire in the Cabinet, who rarely
uses expletives, but who, when he does
swear, comes out with a heartfelt `Damn
it.' It was Sir Michael Hicks -Beach who
told France recently that England would
not be worried out of Egypt. It is Sir
Michael Hicks -Beach who, this week, de •
dares with equal emphasis that England
will not hesitate at war if any other power
attempts to close the door on China.
Commerce must he kept free for the
whole world in China, even if England
has to fight for it.

the present mood of English opinion. that

word is shown , by the fact that consols

"The leaders of the Opposition M. H.
H. Asquith and Sir'II. Campbell -Banner-

unanimity. ; What almost everyone feels
is that England must snake a deterinined

Ja eee Itteown's Tracie Heath,
Btyth, Out, Jan, 21.—:The residents
of this section of Huron County, aud.
especially the farming community, are
aroused to a high pitch of interest over
the death of Jas. Brown, a young farm-
er, of Hullett township, which took
place on. July 1st, 1897. The evout
dial not at the time excite more than.
local interest, because, although the
man's death was of itself a tragedy, it
was not at the time thought, that the
cause was due to anything but suicide.
Recent incidents, however, in connect-
ien with the affair have caused a wide
spread feeling of unrest among the
neighbors, and have led to the opeuing
of an investigation by the Attorney
General's Department, with a view to
ascertaining what foundation, if any,
exists for the rumors, which have by
this time become so .common. Within
the, past week Chief I:napeetor Murray,
of the Criminal Ittveetig;ation Depart-
ment, has visited Myth, and has inter-
viewed many of those who might be
supposed to kl:ow something of the eir
eumstauees. What the results of his
enquiries have been is, of course, not
known, but it is uelikely that the ease
xa ill be allowed to rest moil all srecul
Atkin regarding it ha; been quieted.
DISTORT OF TIM OAST,
The facts are as follows: --James
Brown, aged 8$ years, lived until last
July ou his farm. not far from here,
with his wife and four children, He
was fairly prosperous, !Lavine' an mater
epee of $1,000 on hie life, and a corn
fortable living from his property. He
was a fine lookkig rnau, about six fent
ata height, and weighing over tl'0
petteda, With him lived hi$hired lla:hn,
Albert Haggitt, a man of about 28
years, shorter of stature, aud less pre
possessing, it is said, in appearance
It is stated here that between liaggitt
and Mrs. Browu a friendship sprang
up. which Brown himself regarded with
anything but favor. and this, or utter
causes led to liaggitt's dismissal an the
last day of July of last year, Browu
told the loan, au the morniug of that
day, that be must leave, and be left
accordingly.
AT ILIUS FA'r1RER'S VARS.
Brown's father owns a farm about a
mile from where Brown lived, and near
the village of Laudeshourgb. and after
dismissing' the man Brown took a horse
and went aver there to work, leaving
his wife at home. Be remained there
all day working in the field, and dur-
ing the afternoon Haggitt came over
there, and remained for a while, going
then to the hotel iti the village, whore
he had some drinks. I'revioue to
going there, however, he went back to
Brown's place in his absence, where be
saw and conversed for a considerable
time with She. Brown, his alleged
reason for going back being some to
beetle which Brawn's brother; he said,
was to have left for him. While at the
eider Brown's farm, Haggitt saw and
conversed with his ex employer; het it
is not known that any words passed
between them.
LAST SEE, OF III\t
At eight o'clock in the evening
Brown .left his father's to return home,
having, with him his horse acd his sec
and child, a girl about eight years old.
On his way he had to pass through a
belt of hush, and that was the last seen
of him alive by any of his neighbors.
,e. however, stated that at or about
he same time in the evening Haggitt
led Mrs. Brown were seen approach -
'g the bush, from diflerent directions,
.hethcr by chance or not, or for what
+urposc', is not uppercut.
FOUND DEAD NEXT DAY.
Next morning the neighborhood was
hocked by the discovery that Brown
a,d been found by bis wife hanging to
a beam in a stall of his barn, quite dead.
The discovery was made by Mrs Brown
who called iu two neighbors, a Mr. Cole
and a Mr. Phillips, to see the body,
when these gentlemen reached the
h;,rn the body was not hanging from
the beam, but was lying on the floor,
the rope still around the neck, and
death having apparently been caused.
by strangulation. It appeared evident
that the unhappy man had in a fit of
despondency, taken this means of end-
ing life.
MRS. BROWN'S STORY.
Mrs. Brown, in answer to the queries
of the excited neighbors, told her story.
She said that Mr. Brown had returned
during the evening from his father's
place, and the family had retiresat the
usual hour. At about four o'clock in
he morning, she continuede her hue
hand arose, and left the house. She
remained in bed for another hour, and
then got up, and did some house-
work; she then went to milk the cows,
and was taking a pail of milk into the
barn when, in the increasing Tight of
the morning, she saw Brown's body
hanging from the beam. She put away
rhe milk, and going over to her hus-
band's body, caught hold of the rope -
end, and pulled, thus releasing a slip
knot by which it was fastened. and let
ting the body down to the floor. This
being done. and finding life evidently
extinct, she sent to arouse the two
neighbors, who came to her assistance.
A DOCTOR CALLED IN.:
Being themselves unable to do any

A PERFUNCTORY INQUEST,
Coroner Milne, however, decided to
hold an inquep, and empanelled a jury,
but by some oversight the county at
torney was not notified of it and was
not present when the evidence was to
ken, From what can be learned here
the inquest was merely- perfunctory in
its character it apparents having been
taken for granted that the cause was
.one of suicide, At the inquest beth Mrs
Brown and Haggitt testified, the for-
mer repeating her story- substantially
as above given, and the latter swear-
ing that on the night in question he
had been at bis father's place some dis-
tatace away.
MARLS ON THE BODY,
A post mortem was also ordered, and
was made by Dr. Agnew of Londes-
borough, and Dr. Tait, of Blyth An
examination showed that Brown bore
on his temple a mark such as might
have been made by a heavy blow with
a hammer, or by a wrench suet; as was
found 11; fug in the barn, On the baek
of the hips else, was a large bruise and
yet othersan the arms and, wrists,
while the legs were unmarked by con-
tusious of any kind. It was at one
time proposed that the head and skulk
should be epoxied in order to see wheth
or the blow en the temple, if sueh it
was, had had any serious or fatal result
but the suggestion was ultimately: re
jeeted, and the evidence of the physie-
lens was all itt favor of the suicide the
ore-.. The jury accordingly brought in
a verdict of death by strangulation,
and the body was buried,
neeeterr TAItni BACK.
Thus, for the time, the affair was
closest. Shortly afterwards, Haaggiti
came back to Mrs. Brown, who still re
emitted oe the fares, and resumed his
position as hired man. His itifiueuce
with the widow, it is alleged, grew dal
ly, and as the hatter was exciting a
good deal of comment, Mrs Brown was
induced, it is said by her mother, to
enee more discharge him. Again he
was taken back, aud remained with.
Mrs. Brown on the farm as hired man,

sale, and realized upon the property
which bad come to her from her bus
band. She then went to livo with her
father and matter, whose naive was
Crawford, and who are also farmers in.
the same vicinity. She bad been paid.
the $1..000 of insurance on her late bus
band's life, and this with the money
from the sale, gave her quite a good
sum on which to live. Haggitt also
rsenlained in the neighborhood.
IIAGGITT DOES 'r0 'r1IE STATES,
This state of affairs continued until
recently; when the former rumors again
revived, and some of the neighbors sug-
geeted an investigation into i3rown'e
death. Then one day au item appear-
ed in a Clinton paper to the effect that
Chief Inspector Murray had been seen
in the vicinity*; this did not happen to
be true but on the following, day Hag
gittleft the country and is now in the
LTuited States, A request for an in-
vestigation was seut'to Toronto, and
Mr, Murray came up last week. The
future action of the department will
doubtless depend on the uature of his
report.
WANT AN EXHUMATION.
The present excitement in this neigh
borhood is no doubt:dice to the fact that
the post-mortem on Brown's body was
incomplete. Dr. Tait is quoted as hay
fug said that the blow on the head was
sufficient to have produced insensibili-
ty, and people feel that considerations
of expense should not be allowed to
stand in the way of a complete investi-
gation of this and other facts connected
with the affair It is hoped that the de
pertinent will order an exhumation of
the body at once, as by this means
it would be possible to settle speedily
the uncomfortable feeling which at
present exists.
THE CORONER'S INQUEST.
Coroner Milne, who held the inquest
on Brown's body, was interviewed. He
beard of the death of Brown from Dr.
.Agnew, of Londesborough, who drove
into Blyth to ask him to come and in-
spect the remains. Dr. Agnew had
been called in almost as soon as the
body was found. The coroner went to
the farm, and saw the body lying in the
barn, and it presented all the evidence
of strangulation. The throat was black-
ened, and marked with the rope; the
tongue was protruding to the furthest
extent, and all the minor indications
were present. He had never seen
Brown before, but found him a big
'strapping fellow, six feet in height.
Dr. Agnew told him that he had been,
attending Brown for about three months
for a sort of mental ailment. He had
been up and about, but had done no
work for months until the day before
his death. He could not eat, and could
not sleep, and Dr Agnew stated that it
appeared to be a chronic case of melan-
cholic with him. Brown was forever
talking about the mortgage on his farm
and frequently expressed the fear that
he would never be out of debt. Coroner
Milne also ascertained that Brown's
mother was insane, and that his broth-
ers were supposed to be soft; he there-
fore concluded that Brown had commit -
ed suicide, and decided to hold no in-
quest He found a slight bruise on the

Catarrh is a Disease

because it eradicates from the blood the

alt impressive sermon from Philliplana,
fird chapter, 20th and 21st verses: It is
true our hearts are saddened but our
loss is her gain
Friend after friend departs;
Who hath not lost a friend?
There is no urian here of hearts
That finds not here and end I
Were this flail world our final rest,
Living or dying, none were blest.
Beyond the flight of time,—
Beyond the reign or death, --
There is surely is some blessed clime,
Where life is not a breath;
:Nor hire's affections transient fire,
;Whose sparks'tl;' upward and expire,
There is a world above,
Where parting is unknown;
A. long eternity of love,
Formed for the good alone;
And faith bebtolds the dyeing here
Translated to that glorious sphere!
Thus star by Star declines:
Till all are passed away;
As morning high and higher chines,
To pure and per feel day;
Nur sink those stars In empty night,
But hide themselves In heave& s owe
light,
