High School scholars alike will be

Na. HOPE of RECOVERY -It will
be regretful news to many to learn
of the serious illness of Dr, Mc-
laughlin Dashwood, who has been
confined to St, Joseph's. Hospital,
London for some time. His condition
hag been gradually growing worse
and no hope whatever is held out
for his recovery.
Robt Sanders, who has been on a
visit for the winter months en the
Southern States, returned home Fri
clay last He was accompanied as
far as Detroit by Mr, ,and Mrs, Els-
ton who have also been 'on a visit
at Lake Charles, La., with their son.
The visitors all had. quite an excit-
ing experience while on their way
hong from New Orleans, to Chicago.
The country was flooded with water
on al sides, the result of heavy rains
and in many places along the route
the water cane closer to the railway
track The district in the neighbor-
hooc of Carlo, ]11., the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers had overflowed
their banks to such, an extent that it
was impossible to distinguish the lim-
its of the individual river beds. At
Cairo, the water had risen until it had
reached a point over ten. feet higher
than the town itself, and had it not
been for the levees the water would.
doubtless have wrought great dam-'
age tc property and, caused much suf-
fering and probably death; to the in-
habitants. It was found necessary to
operate great steam pumps to keep
the water down and under control.
Over seven miles of, their homeward
journey the train went through .ova-
te^ anywhere from three - to fifteen
Whet. above the rails. Many houses
in the suburbs of the City of Cairo
were inundated and the water had
raised to such an; extent that only the
roc,, or lesser portions of the build-
ings could be seen, while many others
welt buried in various depths of
water In some places where the
train passed over the tresselwork the
water had raised upwards of 20 deet.

STEPHEN BRIBERY CASE
The adjourned hearing of the
charges of bribing voters in Stephen
Toa nship Local Option Contest pre-
ferred against Mr. Ezra Brenner, was
resumed here on Saturday, the 19th.
Apiii before Magistrates Sanders and
Moir
1'hc only further evidence offered
by the prosecution :was as the qual-
ification of the voters alleged to have
been bribed. At the close of the
evidence for the prosecution counsel
foi the defence disputing the iuris-
dictior of the magistrates, declined
to submit any evidence on behalf of
the accused, Mr. Seager, acting for
the crown, claimed ,the right of reply
and insisted that Mr. Dickson should
make the first address to the Court,
which he did strenuously contending
that the offence charged was not an
indictable offence under Sec. 164 of
the Criminal Code, but was punish-
able` only under Section 250 of the
Consolidated Municipal Act by a
oenaltF of $20 and disqualification.
for two years. Mr. Seager argued
hist as strenuously that the offence
was, indictable and within the, purview
of the section of the Criminal Code
referred to and maintained that rhe
questions involved were of a legal
and technical character and should be
passed upon by a court of law. Mr.
Seager said the magistrates need not
commit for trial, but he urged them
to bail the defendant in a nominal
suns so that the legal questions might
be decided by a judge. Their Wor-
ships after consultation, concluded to .
adopt the suggestion of the crown
attorney and the bond of the de-
fendant in the sum of $200 was ac-
cordingly taken, conditioned that he
abide the judgment of the trial court.
In x -report of the adjourned trial
which appeared in the London Adver
tiser the counsel for defendant is er-
roneously reported to have scored
the Dominion Alliance. Mr, Dick -
son's only reference to the Alliance
was in his criticism of the conduct
of Constable Downs, who, he stated,
had acted, most improperly at the
polling booth, and had bluffed and
threatened voters in his endeavor to
secur&evidence against his neighbor,
Brenner either for mere' lust for
blood or for the reward offered by
the Dominion Alliance.. Mr. Dickson
also paid his compliments to the party
responsible for the publication of the
untruthful and one-sided reports in
the London newspapers.
The case will likely be argued be-
fore Judge Holt within the next few
days.
CHECKER MATCH
The Exeter checker team drove
over to Crediton on Tuesday and
played a friendly game of checkers
with a team of that town. Crediton
has some very strong players and the
game was one of much interest
throughout. Exeter has everything
good to say of the Crediton players
who were very agreeable throughout
the game Exeter won out by several
games in the series. A return 'latch
will be played next week. Following

A most exciting and what may +*et
prove a fatal runaway accident hap-
pened in the village about i`our
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, April
22nd Mr. Henry Guenther and Dav-
id Betchen were engaged ;in hauling.
manure near the school house, when
the horses took fright and commend-
ed tc run away, Mr. Guenther, .who
-lad the lines and while endeavoring
to steady the team down the bit on
one of the bridles broke, and his
practically gave them their liberty.
They started off at break -neck speed
runnin° west a block and a half, a
block north and about three blocks
east when they ran into a telephone
pole and were brought to a standstill,
Mr. Betchen in the meantime bad
jumped but Mr. Guenther hung on to
the lines the best he could, but on
striking the telephone pole he was
hurled into the, air and in some way
sustained a severe rupture in the ab-
domen, from which it is doubtful if
he recovers. Dr. Wishert of London
was summoned and dressed the wCund
and at the time of writing ,the ;pat-
ient is resting easy,
SEVERE ELECTRICAL STORM
L severe electrical and thunder
storm passed over this section Tues-
day night and considerable damage is
reported in the country. The home
of Mr Nelson Stanlake on the Lake
Road was struck but did not burn.
Telephone lines were damaged in
places, Three cattle are reported to
have been killed in the barn of Mr.
Gctt Oestreicher, near Dashwood,but
the barn was not destroyed. A fire
or two in McGillivray are reported.
The Scotch Concert in the Presby-
byterian Church on Tuesday evening
was 1 very pleasing affair but 'owing
to the storm and other attractions
but slimy attended. The address on
Robert Barns, by Rev. Ritchie of
Cromarty proved very interesting and
the recitations by Mrs. Jordan of St.
Thomas and the selections by local
talent were much appreciated.
