They are practically no departures either in curriculum or regulation from those of last year, but both Public end High School scholars alike will be free( at the end of June. The comple tion of the work last year, when the experiment was tried out, proved wonderfully satisfactory, the stress of the hot July days being entirely a- voided and it has decided the Depart- ment to make the regulation penman ent Of all the students writing, those enrolled in the Middle and Upper Schools begin -on June, 12th, and con- clude on June 30th, and t he Lowen School Model Entrance High •School Graduation pupils fold their papers on June 17th,.

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. Mr and Mrs. Elston arrived home on Tuesday evening. spring Renovating is in keeping. The housekeeper is pretty busy these days. Its a sort of a Stocktaking time in.. the home, and it is al - stock this week, and only part of the staff are working.

Mis Thos Sanders, Huron Street has received further word from her son, Edward, in Winnipeg Hospital who sustained a broken leg while on' duty ,oe his train as brakesman, and his condition seems to be much worse` than was first thought. The leg was so badly mangled and he having lost so much blood that x oo d at the doctors were 1 compelled to delay setting the limb' and at the time of writing nothing had been done towards reducing the fracture his condition not improv- ing sufficiaent to warrant it.

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.

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.
