Dr. G. Cole, atu experienced raining
expert, has assayed a portion of the
deposit of alleged coal found at Sad -
bury. The assay shows 97 per vent
of carbon, and is, the doctor says,
as near an approach to Lehigh Val-
ley anthracite as it is possible to get.
The assay showed the specific gravity,
taken at a temperature of 40 degrees
(Fahrenheit), to be 1,818. The specific

There is undoubted authority for the
statement that thelschc oliquestionis Dot
settled, and probably will not be set-
tled. Secret Cabinet meetings have
been held in Winnipeg during the
past few days in the hope of patching
up the split vvhichnow exists among
Mr. Greenway's Ministers. It is said
the great bone of contention was the
French language. Mr. Tarte . was
willing to forego the question of reli-
gious teaching leaving Mr Greenway
to deal with that as he might, but die
Freuch language Was sonsethingwhich
Quebec would insist on having and
Mr. Tarte knew it. He might possib-
ly succeed in hoodwinking Quebec on
the religious question by telling them
that after all it was only the heir -
amity: who wanted religion taught
but When it came to speaking the
French language he realized that
any compromise not allowing the use
of the French language in the schools
would not he satisfactory to Quebec.
As far as 3Ir. Greenway is concersed
the French language is as obnoxiousas
religious teaching. and there the mat-
ter ends.
The eleetions in the 'United, States
have resulted in the return of Mr. Mc-
Kinley, of Ohio, the candidate of the
Republicans and of the gold standard,
and in the defeat of Mr. Bryan, "the
boy orator of the Platte," candidate of
the Chicago Democratic convention,
and of the unlimited coinage of silver
at a ratio of 16 parts silver to 1 gold.
It is also apparent that an overwhelm-
ing majority of the House of Repres-
ent.atiyes elected are Republieane, sup-
porting the gold standard, and that
State Legislatures, which will select
the Senators in the new Congress, are
so strongly Republican that the Nati-
onal Senate will be thoroughly in ac-
cord with the McKinley programme

one-third for those which are actually
diseased and three-fourths of the value
of those in contact. About $1,500
hogs have already been slaughtered,
and abo•ut, $1,000 a month is being paid
out by the Department in indemnity.
It has been advisable also to stop the
movements of hogs, hog products and
hog manure 'within the limits of the
above-named townships, to prevent
disease being carried beyond the in-
fected. area.

SUFFERER' FOR YEARS.
THE EXPERIENCE OF MR. GRANT
DAY, OF HAREOWSMITH,
HE SUFFERED MUCH FROM .RFIEUBI-
ATISet ESPECIALLY DURING SPRING
AND AUTUMN -FOLLOWING A NEIGH-
• BOR'S ADVICE BROUGHT ABOUT A
• Cu=
From the Kingston Whig.
One who b as been released from years
of suffering is always grateful to the
person or the medicine that has been
the medium of release. It is therefore
safe to say that One of themost thank-
ful men in the vicinity ofHarrowbmith
is Mr. Grant Day, who for years past
hits been a•sufferer from rheumatism,
but has now been released froni its
thraldom. To a repotter Mr.Day told
his - experience substantially as
follows "I have been a sufferer
from rheumatism for upwards of
twenty-five years. It usually attacked
we worse in spring and fall, and at
times the pain I endured was intense,
snaking it difficult. for me to obtain.
rest at night. From my hips down to
my feet every joint and every muscle
appeared to be affected, and the pains
appeared to chase one another until 1
was at times nearly wild, and mind
you this was zny condition for up-
wards of twenty-five years. During
thet period I tried many remedies,
and while I obtained temporary relief
from some. I could get nothing in the
way of permanent benefit. But last
year the pains did not come hack, and
this is the way it came about, One
day while telling my neighbor, Mr. W.
C. Sweitzer, how badly I was feeling,
be said ; Get half it dozen boxes of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and use them
according to directions, and you will
find they will do just. wbat they are
advertised -care you, I know this
from experience in my own family,
Well 1' got the pills and used them,
and the rheumatism has been driven
out of my system, and last winter ;old
spring for the first time in more than
twenty years I was entirely free from
my old enemy. Brit there is one thiug
more Dr, Williams' Pink Pills did for
me, and which astonishes me a little.
Over forty ;years ago I had it severe
earache, aud ias d a liquid preparation
in the hope of getting relief, It nearly
ruined my hearing,and fora the years
since I have been partly deaf. After
I took the Pink Pills my hearing came
back, and my ear is now all right.
My wife and sister have also found
much benefit from Pink Pills when
run down by overwork, and it is safe
to say that they will always be found
in our house."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills strike at
the root -of the disease, driving it from
the system and restoring the patient to
health and strength. In cases of par-
alysis, spinal troubles." locoinotor
ataxin, sciatica, rheumatism, erysipel-*
as, scrolulons troubles, etc., these pills
are superior to all other treatment.
They are also a specific for the trouble
which makes the lives of so many
women a burden, and -speedily restore
the rich glow of health to pale and
sallow cheeks. Men broken down by -
overwork, worry or excesses, will find.
in Pink Pills a certain Cure. Sold by
dealers or sent by mail postpaid, at
50e, a box, or six boxes for • $2.50, by
addressing the Dr. Williams'Medicine

mer of Maitland township, while driv-
ing Monday night, fell out or his bug-
gy, landing on his head and breaking
his neck. Deceased was a comparati-
vely young man.
Some time ago a child of Mr. W. J.
MsNally, of Wakerton, while eating
an apple, got apiece of the core down
the windpipe. Soon after the throat
began to swell up, and the child ex-
perienced much difficultyin breathing.
The doctor found it necessary to make
an incision and insert a silver tithe.
This 'gave relief and shortly after-
wards the obstruction came away
through the opening thus -Made. But
while the child is likely to recover, it
seems to have entirely lost its voice.

Full of sweatiest, full of love,

For the beauteous realms above. .
Little Mary was our darling,
Pride of all our hearts at home,
Bat the breezes sweeping ltghtly
Came and Whispered Mary coniee
There was a radiance in her eye, '
A ernile upon her cheek,
That seemed to tell of glory night,
In Language that no tongue could speak.
Time ie past, but still we miss her,
In the gi ass that grows so_ green,
Ent the face of darling mitry
Will on earth no more bo soon.
