The boom in the Lake of the Woods district and British Columbia has given an impetus to Nova Scotia gold production in Canada. x = x The, Mitchell Recorder attributed the rise in the p rice of wheat to the change of Government. What about the present decline ? Is the govern- ment going to fall likewise x A contemporary discussing the dis missal of Mr. Dixon from the Toronto post office says: -"Orangemen who "were befooled into voting for Mr. "Laurier's candidates will find subject "matter in the above for thoughtful "study." f x There has been a kick against de- fective packing of Canadian apples for the British markets, and the Depart- ment epartment of Agriculture may establish a system of inspection. Fruit must reach the old country markets in good condition, or Canadians will lose by it. x = a. When Wilfred Laurier conveyed his thanks to the Liberal organization for their assistance in making hint Prem- ier he might in all fairness have re- xncurbered those Conservative leaders who adopted a policy which slid vastly moreto make Mr. LaurierlPremierthan a1l;the Liberal organization in Canada, + - + Premier Greenway, of Manitoba, has issued astatement over his own sig- nature, showiug that the total wheat yield for Manitoba this year is I4,371,- 800 bushels, an average of 11.5 per acre. This report is based on the latest replies from correspondents, as a result of threshing operations. The yield is much smaller than that of last year, but the price for the crop of 1896 is so much higher that the farmers will be at comparatively little, if any, disadvantage. The advance in the price of wheat has caused an increase in the price of other cereals, tls, which al- so so aids the farmer, and corresponding- ly cheers the merchants and manufac- turers. :• x •i• One week from last Tuesday, No- vember 3rd, will be election day in the United States. SenatorQuay, of Penn- ylvania, one of the ablest Republican politicians, estimates that McKinley is as good as elected. His figures are: Mc- Kinley 270 electoral votes ; Bryan 110; doubtful 67. Harper's Weekly express- es the opinion thatMeKinley will have a m.tjority of 117 in the electoral col- lege. On the other hand, Senator Jones of the Democratic National Committee, makes the forecast of the vote of the electoral colleges ; McKin ley 81 ; Bryan 270 ; doubtful 87. TnE Trams ventures the prediction that gold and protection will coxae out ahead. = x During the late election campaign, Valentine Ratz M. P. and otherLiberal candidates and speakers, went from hustang to hustang and with loud voice denounced the Conservative party for allowing Sir Chas. Tupper, the then Premier of the Dominion, to squander the public money in riding about the country in his private car. It was styled as next thing to robbery. What has Mr. Ratz to say to the fact that Mr. Tarte, one of the small fry only, has gone ori bis western tour in bis private car, elegantly fitted and containing the usual num- ber of servants, all at the public ex- pense ? This looks slightly inconsist- ent. -1- x India seems to be the real centre of commercial influences in this World. When the mints of India were closed against silver in 1893; there was a panic in the United • States and bad times all over the world. And now, 'when the wheat crop is :). failure in India, in 1896 wheat goes up in the United States and Canada, and there appears to he the beginning of good times all over,' the world. Awneriean politicians can talk as ' if the .United States were the supreme creator of its, own commercial condition, but the fact is that the closing of the India mints prostrated the republic in the throes of a panic, and now the failure of the India wheat crop starts the sante great country on the road to good times, ALidiTIONAL LOCAL HAPPENINGS. R. Davis' condition does'notl'improve and life is lespaired of. Mr. Turnbull of William street is lying quite ill at his home, The erection. of D. Spicer's new brick house is progressing rapidly.

Balkwill, of the London road south, placed on the editor's table, Monday, an apple of the "Pike's Favorite" variety, which measures 13i inches in circumference. It is a very large apple of the sort. MUTILATED SILVER. - Canada is hooded with mutilated Yankee silver. This stuff' is not accepted in any bank in the United States at any price whatever, and is not redeemable in any place. It only has bullion value, which, in the case of a mutilated coin, is always les than half its face value. After the Presidential election, which takes place next week, the silver ques- tion, no matter which candidate wins, will continue to agitate the United State's, and every effort is being made by the holders of mutilated coins to get rid of them. Thera are many evidences that men are buying that sort of stuff in the United States and passing the pieces in small quantities here. Look at every piece of change that is offered you and reject ever ' plugged or penciled piece of silver, for it will have to go into the melting pot before you get anything out of it., and then yon will lose over fifty cents on the dollar. This is important both to the Merchant end to the individual. The merchant takes in: a:large amount of money during the clay, and if he rejects your "punched" dime lit + is not acting meanly, but in self-defence. In a week's takings it would mean a heavy loss. If lie refuses to take your American silver unless you allow twenty per cent. discount, he is only acting as a conservative business Iran should. To those who have but little money the loss on a mutilated coin is quite as serious. Men making but a dollar or a dollar and a half a day, cannot afford to lose half their wages by ,c i g cc it n Iui y 1 one which is not of iats i'uce value. 1'V'ate11 the silver that is giyen you in change !

The Provincial Board of Health on Saturday devoted itself to the discus- sion of resorts, it being the general conclusion that owing to the lack of proper sanitation many of them a r e hotb e d s of disease. Sec- retary Bryce read a lengthy report on the question. The shortness of the season, which lasts not more than six weeks lir .two months, is responsible for the fact that the ravages of ecu- tagions disease at these resorts are not greater. In some instances the water supply is tainted.

Segura has report- ed to the Government that his command surprised a body of rebels at Gargauta Sora, Province of Pinar Del Rio, and that iu the fighting that followed four of the insurgents were killed. Tile Spaniards by this victory gained possession of a route to the hills, and started to build trenches to defend their position. While employed in this work the troops were continually fired upon by the rebels, but no losses were sustained. On Oct. 24, Col. Segura left the main body of his command and, with a small force, started to reconnoitre the country. On his way back ne learned that the Santora battalion was engaged with the rebels. Ile, therefore, Hurried to the scene of the fighting and toot part In tne combat. The rebels made desperate efforts to carry the Spanish position,and Huts open the way for their return to the hills,' but were com- pelled to retreat, closely renewed by tne Spaniards. A series of bloody fights occur- red during the two days or the pursuit: The rebels left 61 dead on tate field, but it is believed their losses were much heavier than this.

Canadian Farmers aro getting From Ten to Twenty Cents a Bushel More Than Their Brethren Across the Border— Pandemonium Reigned In the Wheat Pit at Chteago—Armour Was the Pivot Winnipeg, Oct. 22. -(Special,) -The drop in wheat prices in Chicago does not affect the Manitoba market. The farmers this side of the line are get- ting from l0c to 20c a bushel more for their wheat than the farmers in Minnesota and Dakota. Yesterday at Qu'Appelle wheat was bought at $1 a bushel.

Oct, 22.—December wheat took another big tumble on the Board ^ of Trade and the wild excitement on 'Change which accompanied the col- lapse bordered on a panic. 'There was a tall of 4 3-4c from yesterday's clos- ing price, exceeding the advance for any day since the sensational upward movement began in this country and abroad. Late in the day there was a recovery and the highest point during the morning session was 74 1-4c. The closing price was 70 1-2c. Towards the closing hour the slump was so rapid that the drop of a cent and snore found no bidders. The price went from 73c to 71 1-4c, in five min- utes. The scenes In the pit were such as Board of Trade history is made of. There was a frantic rush of sellers on the strength of a rumor that Cu- dahy had joined Armour in unloading his holdings. Thousands of bushels were dumped on the market, but there were no buyers who could keep pace with the quantity offered. There were some heavy losses. The main cause of the decline was said to be the failure to secure advances from the banks for buying cash wheat. Within half an hour after the opening the price of December wheat went clown 2 3-4c and the inexorable banker was blamed for refusing to lend money on any terms. The demand for money overshadowed all talk of foreign short- age, of shipments to India or news from Australia and Russia. Cash wheat sold below futures and the price of the former declined from 6c to 7c before the traders were al- lowed a. breathing spell. Armour said that the key to the situation was the scarcity 01 money and that the price of cash wheat was pulling future wheat down. The curb last night prepared the way for the slaughtering of the market price to- day. Wheat sold at 74c in the street and this, added to the cry of distress from the cash market, threw the pit into hysterics at the opening. Crop Failure in Australia. Adelaide. Oct. 22. --There has been a total failure of the harvest in the northern part of South Australia caus- ed by a long -continued drought. Numbers of farmers have been ruined by the loss of their crops and are in a destitute condition. Wheat is one of the staple products of the colony. The latest statistics show that of the 2,625,741 acres under cultivation in 1892-93, 1,723,711 acres were sown to wheat. l'rospec. /u Fndl:t. London, Oct. 23.-A despatch to The Times from Simla, India, says: "There is nothing new to report in the drought districts. . No tai has as fallen lately. The advent of the north- east monsoon is anxiously watched for, as it may give a good rain in Madras, with heavy showers in Hy- derabad and the eastern parts of the Central Provinces. "Official reports Indicate that up to the present the rural population of the Northeast Provinces and of Oudh are fully employed in the ordinary farm- ing operations. "The Government has schemes cut and dried for relief works in the shape of feeder roads, small irriga- tion projects and minor railway lines. The Provincial Governments are close- ly watching for signs of distress." The Feeling In Liverpool. Liverpool, Oct. 23. -To -day's wheat market opened cheaper than yester- day under the influence of American advices, but there were few realiza- tions. The market further receded af- ter opening, buts speculation was renewed with the result of advancing the price 23s 4d per cental from the bottom prices. Under the influence of disappointing American cables, the market eased off towards the close, finishing a farthing lower on the day. The general undercurrent of the mar- ket is favorable to an advance, to- day's decline being merely a natural reaction after the late rise. ]tTdJtoxx,S rrTPLD CWT. Bulls Sln:rghterctl in tete Chicago wheat Pit. Toronto, Oct. 26. Yesterday was the most etching day of all for the speculative fraternity. A great deal of attention has been bestowed on the wheat market of late and particularly the past week. The advance in the Chicago market within two months has been 23c. Thu climax was reached on Monday last, when the December option sold at 79 8-4c. Then the stories or large amounts of money and even fortunes began to be circulat- ed about the fortunate ones who had bought and were holding wheat at the time. But there is an end to all things. Hundreds of people were induced by the higher prices to try their luck in wheat, and the buying by outside operators, including those in Toronto, was on a larger scale a week ago than a month ago, when prices were much lower. Many thought that wheat should be bought at the beginning of last week on declines of lc to 2c pec bushel, but it has turned out differently. The trading element had become so bullish that many talked a dollar wheat in the near future. They backed their opinions and lost. The market yesterday declined 4c per bushel, the December option selling down to 69c, and this . is a decline of 10 3-4c since Monday last. Margins have been wiped out indiscriminately, and the losses extremely heavy. The 'losses came quicker than the profits, and in some instances operators ,who had made money up to Monday last are now behind in their speculations. The British markets yesterday. were very flat at a decline of 21 3d per cental. Available supplies are large, .and the future -market will depend greatly upon the action of Liverpool.

ONE WHO SUFFERED THUS FOIL OVER TWENTY YEARS RELATES _HER Ex- PERIENCE, WHICH I/Vim PROVE VALUABLE TO OTHERS. From the Tribune, Mattawa, Ont. Among the residents in the vicinity of Mattawa there is none better known or more highly esteemed than Mr. and Mrs.. R. Ranson, who have been resi- dents of this section for the past fifteen years. Mrs. Ranson has been a great sufferer for years, her affliction taking the form of dizziness and violent head- aches, and the attacks would come up- on her so suddenly that she. could scarcely reach her bed unaided, and would be forced to remain for three or four days, unable to take any nourish- ment and suffering more than tongue can express. She was but 'seventeen years of age when these attacks first came upon her, and the doctor who then attended her, said that in his opinion her life would not extend over a few years at most. But more than a score of years have sincepassed during the greater part of which, it is true, Mrs. Ranson was a great sufferer. But that is hardly now past, and she is en- joying better health than ever she did. To a reporter of:the Tribune Mrs. Ran- son told her story, adding earnestly that she hoped her experience might prove of some benefit to some other sufferer. She said : "The spells of dizziness and intense headaches would attack me every three or four weeks, and would last from two to four days at each attack, and with each attack my suffering appeared to grow more intense. I had good medical ad- vice, and tried many remedies, but with no beneficial results. In the spring of I895 any appetite began to fail, niy bands and feet would swell, and my heart palpitate violently. I was utter- ly discouraged and felt that I could not live much longer. One day my (laughter urged ane to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial, but I had taken so much medicine with no be- nefit that I refused. However, she went to town and got four boxes, •and to please her more than for any hope of benefit I agreed to take them. I did not find the first box do nee any good, but by the time I had taken the second my appetite began to improve and I could sleep • better. I thenbegan to have faith in them and as I continu- ed their use found myself constantly getting better. When I had finished the fourth bov both myself and friends were surprised to find that I had not had a headache for more than six weeks. the action of ally heart had be- come regular, and I could sleep sound- ly all night. 1 was still weak, however, and decided to continue the use of the pills, which did until three more boxes were used.. • Since then I have been stronger than at any time for years before and hayo not had :tit ache or pain. I can do my work, have a new interest in life and feel ten years younger. I feel thitt Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will 'do for others what they have done for axe, anabelieying this I am glad to make my story. public in hope that it will lie. of value to Some sufferer." iris. Itanson's husband and mother were both present and say that they look upon her recovery as miraculous. They furthersaid that than and many :ani ht theyhady sat upkeeping g 1 ing hot cloths ths ou her head, thatbeing the only treatment that had helped. her, until she began the use ofDr. William's Pink Pills. This great remedy enriches and puri- fies the blood, strengthens the nerves, and in this way goes to the root of dis- ease, driving it from the 'system, and curing when other remedies fail.
