The large decrease in the rural population of Ontario, indicatedby an examination el the census fig - tares issued ,at Ottawa, is no stir prise for the officials of the De- patxttnent of ,Agriculture, -new is it ciccats-liming them any particitlan' concern. The returns" slaow that forte' -seven fifties and towns in the Provinces show an increase of uan1Q 344000, while the Provineo gen- orally had au increase of but 336,- 000, Tho decrease of eight thous - and is probably considerably below the actual figures, since many tonins under lour thousand popaila- tica 1. mllst he.va 1rli0wn gaits. The reports to .the Department of Atari culture have, until the mist year, shown steady decrease in the rural population, but last year's annual report showed a ;gain, the first in ode, "The invrcase was alt -only about; foul' itbousand-- 4mt it looks like the turning point," said Mr. 0. .0, 3n111.02, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, in referr- tial; to the matter ALL -DAY Y FIGN (KRIPOLL Turks and Arabs Fiercely Resisted Landing. of. Italians. A despatch from Tripoli, 'via Rome, says r The Italian troops and the Tunes and Arabs.had a hot all - day fight at Benghazi on Thursday, with the former cooling out vict- orious. On the morning of Oct, 18 the second division of the 'Italian expeditionary foie armed off Benghazi, and .Admiral Aubrey, the commander-in-chief of the naval forces, summoned the town to sur- render. The Turkish authorities refused, and the Admiral then gave them until; 0 o'clock on the morn- ing, of the lath to make up their minds. The Turks paid no atten- tion to this, and when the time limit expired without , any word about capitulation from the Turks the Admiral ordered the warships to bombard the fortifications. Tho shelling by the ships lastedonly a short time, . and then the 'troops were landed. The moment they disembarked the Turks made a fur- ious attack, but were repulsed, and 4,000 Italians were gradually landed on Guileania Beach, al- though the resistance of the Turks, who were aided by the Arabs, con- tinued to be active.

Though suicide "int- mediately suggests itself as an ex, planation, it is understood that Ana' tracks leading to the place epposite the spot in the river where the body was discovered were, discern-, isle, There is then some uncertainty as to how Miss. Smith got into the river. It was suggested that she Thursday morning by Captain jumped off the bridge over the She- bashekong River, but there is no Brock Patten of Port Arthur., brother-in-law of the deceased, after he had dragged the little river for some time. Though the mystery as to the fate of the missing teacher has of foul play or any note of explana, been, solved, the mystery as to how ting., current to carry the body midway between the bridges.

Ont., says: A party of hunters, who arrived here on Fri- day afternoon from the north. shore. tell a strange story of what is believed to be the murder of Robert Forbes, alightho?,lsekeeper on Pie ,Island, twenty-five miles from Fort William. Forbes' body was found in his station on tihe Isl- and with the head battered in. The subsequent finding of the bodies of two Indians, who had died after drinking wood alcohol, is believed to explain the murder. .It has. been determined that the alcohol was taken from the lighthouse, and the police believe the Indians kill- ed Forbes to get at the liquor, which they thought was good to drink. The Indians evidently drained a gallon cask of the poi- sonous liquid. Both were found lying side by side with the empty cask between them.

' A despatch from Toronto says a million, but in each year excep- ith the close, of 'the financial year, tionally large estates were probat'- W ` still two zz�;eksaway, :succession ed duties paid to the Provincial Treas., urer have already passed the hop- ed-for million ' mark. The total amount received -up to Thursday was' .$1027,081, which means that. over 375,000 has been paid in since the first of the month. Two of the largest payments this month came from the estate of the late Andrew Gunn wiii.eh returned the O''rcas- Another 'revenue increase is ex- pected to x-pectedto come froin the Temiskam' ing & Northern Ontario Railway: Hee:. me, Matheson has not receiv- ed the figures, but he is looking for the earnings of the 'Government line :to come' up to the estimate. Last year the estimate was` $625,- 000, while receipts were ,but $420,- 000. Per this year the Provincial all probability is in, milt straitened olr• ouurstatnees that the seeurit' 1s vorS doubtful. Of coarse, in the Cabo ata very large estate the question of 3areaer dietribution of risk demands that a certain proper. tion of tlto money involved be putt into sound mortgages, to pointed out last week, the feet that mortgages aro saleable Only with di eulty, is a :serious drawback in the euro of :many investors. Tho reason ter 11115, is quite obvious, In the first place, mart- gages, that is, real estate mortgages, are Usually made by private individuals, They aro not divisible, so that it is impossible for a purchaser to buy part of :i mort- gage'. In -the case of a bond, on the contrary, the bolder of a thousand dol- lar Win. Davies bond; for example, earl divide it into ten bonds of 3100 each, each of which is equally as secure as 'the, whole, and it is issued by a company whose shareholders, in their desire for dividends, will see that its earning power is kept up, if at all possible. Then the prospective purchaser of a mortgage will have to go to the expense of a careful search of the title of the property mort- gaged; he will have to go to the expense and trouble of baying the property valu- ated, he will have .to worry about the question -of insurance. In short, it is no great 'wonder that mortgages cannot be sold for their face vane. If, on the other hand, the seller of a mortgago has to pay all these expenses when the ,pur- chaser demands it, he is that much worse off, as the expense adds to his loss. In the ease of bonds all this trouble is obviated for the reason that the legality, and security of a bond, issue are, as a rule, carefully examined and passed upon once for alt by one or more - of the most skilled lawyers in Canada. "'Except in the case of small municipal bond issues the issues are for large amounts and are therefore generally so well known that there is no need for more than the mere statement that duo wishes to sell in order, at most times, to find a ready'pur- ebaer: For the small private investor, then, there; is no comparison between the two classes of securities. The writer will, of course, be accused of prejudice against mortgages," That is quite true, but it is based on experi- ence. For, manyyears, ago_I loaned a small sum on a , first mortgage. The amount was small and, on ample security -residential property in a part of To- ronto ,which was rapidly growing in po- pulation and value. It so happened that I' found it necessary to get some ready cash for another and much more desir- able investment. I tried to sell the mort- gage.:' The first and only offer was for an amount equal to only;. 80 .per' cent. of its face. value.

DECIDES TO'TtN1 . Will Apply for Authority to Pierce Mount Royal. A despatch from Toronto says At the forthcoming •session of the Dominion Parliament the, Can- adian Northern Tunnel and Ter- minal Company will apply for au- thority to construct and operate a, railway tunnel under Mount Royal, Montreal. The cost of: the. undertaking is conservatively esti- mated at $5,000,000, and in addi- tion the Canadian Northern ,Rail- way is likely to spend a large suno. in improvement work .around Montreal. It is understood that the application will be sufficiently comprehensive to allow the 'C.N.R.- to construct and operate lines con necting its tracks with the C.N.O._ and C.N.Q. railroads, and those' of the Harbor Commissioners of Montreal. The tunnel will give the C.N.R. easy aeeess to the city of Montreal and avoid the slow, handling of trains around the mountain. The tunnel will be ap- proximately three miles in length. PURIFIED HIS BLOOD Dir. IA/levee's F,®ot Pills Healed ('2t. Wilson's Sores When the sewers of the body—bowels, kidneys and skin ducts—get clogged up, the blood quickly becomes impure and frequently sores break out over the body. The way to heal them, as Mr. Richard Wilson, who lives near I,ondon, Out., found, is to purify the blood. He writes: "For some time,I had been in a low, depressed 'condition. My appetite left me and I soon began to suffer from ndi- gestion. Quite a number of small sore and blotches forrned,all over my skin. $ tried medicine for the blood and used many kinds of ointments;. but without satisfactory results.` What was wanted was a thorough cleansing of the blood, and I looked about in vairi for some medic cine that would accomplish this,. At last Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills were brought to my notice, and they are one of the most wonderful; medicines I have ever known. My blood was purl- myindigestion vanished.
