NOTES AND COMMENTS
The Mitchell Recorder is another of
the -Grit journals that are diseontented
with Grit rale. Discussing Ontario af-
fairs, our contemporary says
"We do not claim to be satisfied
Ourselves as to the diameter of the
surplus claimed and the availability of
some of the claimed assets. It might
tta well be made clear and put beyond
Cavil, and a different system of audit
could easily set al1 doubt and cavil at
rest."
CAMERON'S NEPOTISM.
"His word is a lie,
And his party fealty has been super -
seeded by treason -treason to his con-
stituents, to his professions, aid to his
Liberal principles."
The above Otract is from the Gotle-
rich Signal.•"- of August 13th and
is part of an article in which st. C.
Cameron's tharacter is portrayed
in unmistakable terms. The Signal is
the Liberal organ for Wes:,11nron and
Caineron is the Federal represen-
tative of the aiding, mr. Cameron. the
Signal says,having ignored theres
o his constituents. in Hrecommending
the appointment of his son-in-law,
Galt, to the position of postmaster of
Goderich, IS no longer fit to rank
amongst the pure of the party. 'While
we decidedly object to the means in
which an.. Cameron • has bad his son-
in-law installed as postmaster of God-
erich, we agree with the Signal that
the whole proceeding is a scandal on
theolirty,and an injustice to emearnp-
bell, late postmaster ; but at the same
time we would remind the Signal that
atr. Cat neron is no greater sinner in this
respect than others of the Reform
party. When any of the Liberal mem-
bers has had an opportunity to prac-
tise nepotism, they do so without
hesitation, and without, regard.
for their • . previous loud de-
nounciatiern of the practise. For the
Signal's information we would refer to
Sir Oliver Mowat, who has his sons,
daughters, sons-in-law, daughters-in-
law, nudes, aunts, and cousins, all
well provided with fat public offices
under the Ontario Government ; Hon.
G. NIT„ Ross gave his brother-iwlaWeva
registrarship; Hon. John Dryden gave
his brother a similar position in On-
tario county; atr. Gibson, the repre-
sentative for East Huron secured his
bother the appointment of registrar
of Huron l'ounty, etc., etc., space fin. -
bidding further enumeration of in-
stances t)f as barefaced nepotism as
Mr. Cameron is guilty of. The Signal
as aware of alI this. but never corn'
plied of the principles of the Reform
party being seriously violated, until
the edit or. becoming a disappointed
applicami for the Goderich post
office, realizes the true inwardness
of the practise of nepotism.
mr. Cameron will no doubt excuse
himself by pointing to the fact that
Sir Oliver provided for his son, that
lir. Hardy's brother has become a
dge since the party went in at Ot-
tawa, lieu mr. Ross has looked after
his by( that - 31r, Gibson

3ame8 Allison. who 54 under a.rre.st,
is a lad of 10 years, of slight build, and
not particularly intelligent. He has
been working for the Orrs since March
last. On the morning of the tragedy he
left the farm at 7.30. with 'two cows
for the Barrie farm. it mile and it half
east. He arrived there at 8 o'clock and
lett about 8.30, Arriving home about 9
o'clock. When Orr returned. about 10
o'clock, Allison Inet him at the gate
and told him that Mrs. Orr \NILS inis9-
lug and could not be, totted. Allison
was laughing and seemed to regard the
matter as a joke. He a.ssisted ntete
search, however, and, in company with
NOrmall, the Young son, was the Crst
to dieeover the unused grave in the
swamp last Wednesday afternoon.
Anthony- Orr left the farm e.t 7 o'clock
on the morning of the tragedy with a
bow for a neighbor. He returned
about 10 o'cloek. This is Orr's Starr
and is borne out by the boa'. When i.a"
termed of his wife's disaPPearance. he
beteame a/most frande turd' at onee in-
stituted a vigorous seereh. Ile went to
town to internt the authorities, and alt
the rest of the week he was moot urgent
to discover the whereabouts ot his
missing wife. This afternoon a pair of
blood-satined trousers, belonging to Oz.r,
were discovered in the house. but these
are explained as having been used to
wrap around the body when it was dis-
aoyereti. As yet very little suspicion
attaches, to the husband.
Waldron Zidney 'rrevelyan, who is
also in custody, has known the Orra for
many years, having worked as a farm
laborer for them some ten Years ago.
He -ears he is a. third year anc4icai
student at McGill Medical OollegiN but
retests to teli under what 'name he is
registered at that institutjou. He is a
clever and ambitions young .fellow,, not
too proud to take any job. however
tunable. that will procure him funds for
hie college education. Ire was last nt

dered him off, saying that the neighbors

dee; Allison unayailable as it witness,
le" th this in yievr, tit is notelikely there
witt he any more arrests until after the
h 'nest, and perhaps until after the
t-- plintmary investigation.
Coming to the gunshot and Allison's
vita which figures prominently in the
teee, John Orr says that he heard a
soot somewhere between 8 and 9 o'clock
and that his wite went out on the ver-
andah, which is about 500 yards dis-
tant, and, looking towards the lane
when thesound mute, could see
nothing. The little girl Maggie. who
was asleep upstairs, was wakened by
a noise, as though someene was break-
ing wood, but she heard no wood
thrown on the woodpile. Allison's gun
was discovered on Sunday afternoon in
the masonry of the barn, with a dia.
charged shell in it. A portion of the
lower rail of the snake fence which runs
along the lane where Orr last saw his
wife milking the cows was chopped
off by Chief Ahern this morning, and
taken to (lett ite au exhibit. It coo -
tamed three or four shots. The slte.
was fired from the gun found at the
barn and is of peculiar make. It is
what is known as a breech -loading Zulu
musket.
Ititest theory is that who-
ever fired at the woman chased her
through the garden to the lane und shot
tit her as she was trying to get through
the fenee, but, not hitting her, used the
butt end of the gun with which to fell
her, and from there dragged the body
the n -w yards to where it \Vita found
bUrit,d in the corn patch. Whether the
woman fired at an assailant end misled
or -whether the assailant fired at the
woman is still 0 matter of mystery, lt
is more probable, however, that the gun
was in the hands of the wonutu, because
ea men, being more der,terous in the use
of euch Arms, would not likely iniss his
mark, and tonne shots would be found iu
the woman's legs. -which is about the
elevation of the 'bullets in the feace.
This to a eertain extent btetrs out young
Allison's story that Mrs. Orr inquired
of him on the morning. of the tragedy
how to use the gun. *.then the woman,
having missed, she ran for the fence
leading, to the corn patch, and as she
was stooping under the bars wee bit
on the top of the head, as the post-
mortem shows, by some blunt instru-
ment, probably a billet of wood or per-
haps the gun used as a club.
At any rate no stains were found on
the gun, and this- afternoon a pave of
'Wood whieh ntight have inflicted such a
wound was picked up on the corner of
the fence near the corn patch. It was
a stout cudgel of red oak': about four
feet long, the end cut :Intl slightly jag-
ged. On it were red stains, dt ply en-
grained. This strengthens ;mother of
Allison's stories that when he came
back from Barrie he went to work rak-
ing up a pile of chips which hIrs. Orr
had told him he WaS to do as Soon as
he eame back. In this pile he says he
diseovered several clots of blood and a
stiek stained with Wood, Whiell he threw
away in a corner. Allison also says
that he saw a man approaching the
house as he was leaving that morning.
Allison has retained Zahn R. Blake te
defend him, while Trevelyan has eniplkr-
ed Lawyer 11,'. D. Card.
An immense crowd a.ttended the fune-
ral to -day at 11.fountview Cemetery. The
cortege arrived at the grave at 3.15,
Bev. -Marcus Cott of Detroit officiating.
The husband of the inurdefell woman
stood beside the grave in an apparently
dazed condition, showing very little emo-
tion, meeting the gaze of the large
crowd surrounding the mourners with
an almost unchttnged faCe.

TRE WAND OF MISERY WAVED
OVER MRS. THOS. GREEN.
From Her Childhood She Suffered
from Heart Troubles -Doctors Said
Nothing Could Be Done for Her, and
that Her Death at Any Moment
Would Not Surprise Them.
From tho Herald, Stratford.
"Of the making of books there is no
end," it has been said, and the same
claim might he set am in respect of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Wonderful
as are some. of the statements pub-
lished in the newspapers as to the
cures effected in all parts of the coun-
try, fresh evidence proves the half has
not been told. Were ie not for a false
sense of delicacy which a great many
people entertain in regard to such
matters, the columns of the press
would be literally teeming with grate-
ful acknowledgements of benefit de-
rivedfrom and permanent cures effect-
ed by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People. It is quite with-
in the mark to say that there is no
other medicine offered the public that
hall at all compare with Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, and there is not it Corner in
this wide Dominion in which their
"Virtues have not been proved. A
cure which recently came to the
knowledge of a representative of the
Herald is ideservingof being widely
known. It is an nstance of heart
trouble that baffled the skill of a
number of physicians, some of whom
positively refused to treat the patient
on the ground. that itwas no use. The
subject of tbe affliction referred to is
the wife of a highly respected and
well-to-do farmer m the township of
Logan, near the village of Dublin.
Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Green are firm be-
lievers in the efficacy of D. Williams'
Pink Pills, and for very good reasons,
Mrs. Green has suffered everything but
death from it weak heart, the trouble
having afflicted her since eerier child-
hood, On several oceasions she has
been so low that it was not thought
possible for her to recover, Her great-
est trouble often arose from exhaustion
or a sudden start, and at snob times'
her heart seemed to cease its throbbing
and the breathing was !fitful and
labored. Doctor's medicine seemed to
have no effect whatever. She was ad-
vised by one physician that, all that
could be done Was to keep her strength
up, and it was with it view to strength-
ening her system, and with no hope
that her heart would be benefitted.
that she.began the use of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. She had not been taking
them long, however, when there was
an unmistakable relief from the trouble
that had made her whole life miser-
able. During the past summer she has
used Pink Pills freely, and has enjoyed
better health than for many years
before, and has been able not onlyto
do her household work, but also many
of the out door chores Unit fall to the
lot of the farmer'S wife. The different
physicians who have treated her have
trequently told ber husband that they
wonld not be surprised to hear of her
death at any moment, but she is today
a strong women, enjoying better
health than she has done for years.
Both -Mrs. Green and herhusband feel
grateful for the great benefit, she has
received from the use of Dr. Williamis'
Pink Pills, and spare no words in
sounding their praises to everyone
who enquires what has wrought such
a wonderful change in Mrs. Green's
health and spirits.
In cases of paralysis, spinal troubles,
ocomot or ataxia, sciatica, rherimatism
erysipelas, scrofulous troubles, etc.,
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are superior
to all other treatment. They are also
it specific for the troubles which make
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 cer-
tain cure, Sold by all dealers, or sent

boxes for $2.50 by addressing the Dr.

Years....
For more than twenty years
we have been telling how
Scott's Emulsion overcomes the
exc.essive waste of the system,
puts on flesh, nourishes and
builds up the body, making it
the remedy for all wasting di-
seases of adults and children,
but it isn't possible for us to
tell the story in a mere stick-
ful of newspaper type.
We have had prepared for
us by a physic3ion °Matte book,
telling in easy words how and
why Scott's Emulsion benefits,
and a postaf card request will
be enough to have it sent to
you free To -day would be a
good time to send for it.
SCOTT & BOWNE, Belleville. Ont.
To Advertisers.
The benefit derived from an adver
tiseinent depends altogether upon the
number of persons who read it. To
reach the greatest nunaber of readers
at the least possible expense, is a
question that should be considered
very carefully by business men. A,
thousand small bills printed in Tor-
onto or London, and distributed in
this section, would be just as effective
as if the bill had been printed in town.
There is not a doubt about that, but if'
you want to reach the people iu their
homes, newspaper advertising is the
only successful way. To get the best
results use the paper with the largest
circulation, and thegreatest amount of
local news. Circulation is the proper
basis upon whichprices should he fixed.
If it newspaper with a circulation of
2,000 charges $100 per year, then one
witha circulation of COO would be entitl-
ed to $30. An advertiser should take
these facts into careful consideration,
when making contracts. Another fre-
quent loss to advertisers is in the use
of several papers when one covers the
ground. THE TIMES IS read by more
people in Exeter, Usborne, Stephen,
Hay, the northern part of Bidclulph
and McGillivray than all other county
papers combined, and an advertise-
ment placed in it will be found the
most effectual way in which to reach
the people.
The next crop bialletin of the provin-
dal department of agriculture will
show the yield of wheat to be a fair
average.
Interior department statistics show
that about 10,000 enzigrantS have comer
in to Canada this season up to July'
31,
If Americans intend to do all they
threaten in the Klondike, very few or
them need fear that their greatest dan-
ger is death from starvation.
John Fossett,72 years old was knock --
