NOTES AND oommENTS.
There will be no election trial iu
West Huron. It will be remembered
Mr. Garrow (Liberal) was elected
there by the casting. vote of the re-
turning officer, and both parties
claimed the seat. There is a petition
and a cross -petition. The case will be
formally heard at Oegoode Hall, on
Nov. 1. No eyidence will be offered,
and both petitions will be dismissed,
wheretmen Mr. Garrow will immedi-
ately resign his seat. It is stated that
31r.Garrow will be a candidate in West
Huron for the Dominion Rouse, to
succeed the late M. O. Cameron.
Judge Finkle, of Woodstock, goes to
the Sunny South on an unusual quest
-to collect a debt from a dead. man.
Ten years ago George C. Miller, then
of Tilsonburg, was a partner of the
judge in the lumber business. He tied
keying his partner the onus of several
, elleged ,crooked transactions, and a
Xltauber et life insurance polities am-
ounting to $15,000, which Judge Finkle
has kept up ever since to stand him
against his loss. Word has come that
•Miller died recently at G-eneva, Mis-
souri, and Judge Finkle goes there to
prove his death.
The answer of the Government to
the Dominion Alliance request for a
date for a national prohibition deputa-
tion to wait upon them, has not yet
been received though expected daily.
On its arrival, the Alliance executive
-will meet, and issue invitations to re-
presentative prohibitionists from all
parts of the Dominion. The Alliance
secretary, F. S. Spence is daily receiv-
ing more or less copies of resolutions
passed by prohibition aaad kindred
bodies, asking the Government to in-
troduce a prohibitory ineasure at the
next session of the Donainion Parlia-
=exit
So many men, so many minds. Here
is W. W. Ogilvie, of Montreal, pro-
testing that the Manitoba grain crop is
a success, and that he will have 40,000,-
000 bushels of wheat in his elevators,
againt 22,000,000 bushels last year,e-ind
5,000,000 bushels of oats, against 1,000,-
000 bushels last year. On the other
hand, Robert Meighen, president of
the Lake of the Woods Milling Com-
pany, says that Manitoba will have
only 27,000,000 bushels of wheat for
exportation, that only 20 per cent of it
will inspect No. 1 hard, and that only
8,000.000 bushels of the wheat crop
escaped undainaged by rain and
frost
A comparison of the trade returns
for the first three months of the cur-
rent fiscal year, viz., Xulse,August and
Sept, 1898, with the corresponding
period of the previous year dis •
closes an unexpected, if not a startling
situation. During this quarter in 1898
we exported $5,301,5751ess than in1897.
We imported $11,299,699 more. The
Government collected in the shape of
duties $1,657,244 mare during. the three
months of 1893 than of 1897. In other
words, competing the first quarter of
1898 with that of 1897, our exports
degreased 10 per cent., our imports
increased 35 per cent. and the duty
collected wars increased by 30 per cent.
This demands some explanation from
the Government. Is it consistent with
their policy that our export, trade
should dwindle? If not how do they
explain this 10 per cent. decrease?

FAT SToom Sieow.-The SUM Of $50
was collected from the merchants of
Exeter to help defray the expenses of
bolding a Fat Stock Show here in
December. The Smith Huron Agri-
cultural Society met hi Hensall on
Monday and decided to hold the show
in Exeter on December 16th, Exeter
was the only place that had raised a
fund to assist m paying the prizes,
thus keeping up its record as being
the agricultural centre of Huron, and
the only place in which a successful
fair can be held.
CoareaEmnia.-The large tank OU
John street has been completed. This
was one of the several improvements
made in connection with our fire pro-
tection, in compliance with the re-
quirements of the Underwriter's Asso:
elation, for the lessening of the insur-
ance rates in Exeter. The desired end
does not seera to have been reached,
as one of the Exeter merchants this
week informed Tian TIMES that his
rate, clueing the past few days, had
been increased rather than lowered.
The council leave either misunderstood
the requirements of the underwriter's
or the Underwriter'sAssociation do nob
know what they want. This matter
should be finally settled at once, as the
expense to the corporation during the
past two years, along this line has
been heavy and seemingly to no pur-
pose.
;Wei 'ana0 TO APPEAR. -Two weeks
ago Monday, Henry Eilber, the mem-
ber for South Huron, was to have ap-
peared in Goderich for examination
for discovery, in connection with the
protest against his election, filed. by
the Liberals. At the time the Liberals
were arranging for a sewoff with an-
other constituency, and word came
from Toronto telling Mr. Eilber he
would not be required to go to Gode-
rich for examination. Arrangements
had been made for examination in
Gederich, and when Mr. Eilber failed
to appear, a motion was made to
commit him for contempt of court.
On Monday Judge Osier disposed of
the matterby requesting Mr. Eilber to
appear when required. Mr, Eilber's
• non-appearance was no lax of duty on
his part, but it misunderstanding
among the political nianagees in
Toronto. He is quite -willing to appear
and has been from the outset.

The wandering tramp is becoming
more and more dangerous to rural,
communities, the shooting of respect-
able citizens by tramps is becoming
more and more frequent, and there is
no check at present applicable ha stop-
ping the evil. The latest outrage, the
. shooting of Mr. Perry at Tweed, add-
ed to the long list going before it, de-
monstrates the necessity of some re-
medy for the tearnp nuisances The
system of rural police in Sutirely
inefficient, and local constables where
these outrages have occurred have
often proved unable to cope successful-
ly with the trouble, Some more
efficient system of constahnlary is
therefore necessary, and the Ontario
Government, by instituting it remedy
by this or some other means, would be
doing itself and the public it service
and it benefit. The tramp nuisance
should be stamped out of the (man -
try.

over outrages upon the property of the

an equally dastardly deed was
aimed against the Roman Calm -

mashed the windows of their church.
In the morning thirty-seven stones
were found inside the building. Of

Late statistics show that the sums
set apart for war purposes by the
five great and three lesser powers of
Europe amount collectively to $601.-

$808,053,147 per annum. (Saluda tin g the

There is it popular idea that rhennia-
tism is caused by exposure to cold, and
that some localities are infected with'
it morethan others, Scientists say
that such eonditions frequently pro-'
mote disease, but from the facb that
this ailment rens in certainfainilies, it
is shown to be hereditary, and conse-
quently a disease of the blood.
• Frequently an individual in whose,
family rheumatism has not occurred,
develops the disease, and when a diag-
nosis of the case is mad.e; it is geiaer-
ally found that the ailment is due to a
derangement of bhe blood.
• One such sufferer who has been our -
ed is Capt, D. W. Becket, who lives in
the township of Oxford, Grenville
County, Capt. Becket is the ownerof
275 acres , and liyes in a beaueifiel farm
home on the banks of the Ridean,
some three miles from lnemptville. In
addition to being a thriftyfarmer Mr.
Becket has taken an enthusiastic in-
terest in our volunteer force and has
graduated from the military college at
Toronto with • a first-class certificate,
which entitles him to the rank of
Major: To it reporter of the Kempt-
yille Advance, Capt. Becket made the
following statement ;- "Four years
ago I was taken suddenly with rheum-
atism in both my elbows and thigh
joints. The pain at times was some-
thing terrible. I took medicine and
doctored for over six months, but con-
tinued to grow worse and worse. My
arms from the elbow joints to the tips
of the fingers became numb and had a,
prickly sensation, and I was unableeto
do any weak ; in fact I could not lift
my hand to my head. The pain I suf-
fered. in my hips was also almost un.
bearable and my legs were nearly as
useless as my arms. I had frequently
testimonials where Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills had cured this disease, and
at last I thought I would try them as
an experiment: Before I had complet-
ed the first box 1 felt they were help-
ing me and after I had. taken the Pills
a little more than it month, the pain
had entirely left me, and I felt an alto-
gether different man. 1 feel satisfied
there is no other medicine could have
wrought such a speedy cure, and I can
truthfully say I met the enemy and
defeated him through the aid of Dr.
Williams Pink Pills.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a specific
for all diseases arising from an im-
poverished condition of the blood or a
shattered condition of the nervous
forces,such as St. Vitus dance,locomo-
tor ataxia, rheumatism, paralysis,
sciatica, the after effects of la grippe,
loss of appetite, headache, dizziness,
chronic erysipelas, scrofula, etc. They
are also a specific for the troubles
peculiar to the female system, correct-
ing irregularities, suppressions arad all
forms of female weakness, building
anew the blood and restoring the glow
of health to pale and and sallow cheeks. -
In the case of men they effect a radical
cure in all cases arising from mental
worry, overwork or excesseesof any

HOW TO SPEND HALLOWE'EN.
We would like to suggest to the
young people of Exeter, -what we
think would be it much more pleasant
and agreeable way of spending hallow -
e'en than the custom in vogue here
now. of removing gates, signs, etc.,
and damaging property in general.
We get this from our old friend Price,
of the Aylmer Express, who spent hal-
lowe'en in Kingston it few years ago.
Instead of such work as mentioned
aboye, the children formed themselves
into little bands of from two to five or
six, sometimes all boys, sometimes all
girls, and sometimes part of each.
In most cases they disguised them-
selves, but not always. Some black-
ened there faces, dressed in rags,others
put on the best they had, or had fancy
dresses made up for the occasion.
Then they visited the home of all
their friends,who were expecting them
in most cases,and serenaded them with
songs, music, dancing and sometimes
little charades. In return they were
treated by the lady of the house with
cake and coffee, fruits candy, etc.,
which had been prepared beforehand.
In this way the young people spent a
very pleasant evening, and the older
ones had a good time also. Why not
try it here for one year? It beats the
present way out sight.
