Lord Roberts seems to be taking
time to adjust his plans of campaign
to the situation a.s changed by the de-
ecelopinents of last week, It is poss-
ible table there is more activity in the
Cesarsburg, -Strobl/Sem stud Noryal's
ea ---Pont neighborhood than is dreamt of
in the philosophy cif the war corres-
pondents. The preparations for the
relief of el afeking -must be far advanc-
ed, if the seige of that village has not
already been raised. Mere is now no
reaeon why LordRoberts should hurry.
It roily be argued that he is giving the
BOCTS time to concentrate. They had
better choose their point, of concentra-
tion with great care, or Roberts and
Kitchener will concentrate them to
Cape Town after the next Daubing.

Celebration In Exeter.
Thursday afternoon and evening's
celebration closed one of the most
eventful •and biggest demonstrations
gotten up impromptu ever seen in Ex-
eter. At, 330 a huge procession, head-
ed by the band, paraded the main
streets of the town. This was viewed
from every quarter by a large crowd
of patriotic people, anxious as British
subjects, to do honor to our beloved
Queen and celebrate the relief of Lady-
smith, which has drawn the attention
of the English-speaking world, for
many weeks past.

One of the worst fires that has oc-
curred in Stratford since the old Oity
Han was destroyed took place Tuesday
night, when the greater portion of
George lacLagan's furniture factory
and Diteid Easson's planing mill was
burned to the ground. About seventy-
five bands are thrown out of employ-
ment thisamfortunate and lament-
able affair. The burned factory was
an L-shaped structure,nearly all frame.
The engine house at the extrethe wes-
terly end was of brick, The dry kiln
adjoining it was also brick, hut the re-
mainder of the building was frame.
Mr. McLagan Used the greater portion,
Mr. Easson renting tbe upstairs de-
partment in the west wing and a snail]
pertain downstairs. The origin of the
fire is unknown. Incendiarism is
scarcely hinted at, and the most proh.
able cause appears to be the electric
light wires' which may have become
disarranged.

Was He Murdered?
One :Sunday night a little over three
years ago, Thomas McIlveen, a fernier
residing on the Base Line, near Suns -
merlin], disappeared. He was a, young
married man on the best of terms wil h
his wife and children, and enjoying
the confidence of his neigbbors. After
his disappearance it was learned that
he was embarrassed financially, which
was taken as the supposed reason for
his sudden leaving. It was only nat-
ural that his wife should expect to
hear from him, and daily she looked
for some intimation as to his where-
abouts. Not one word had she heard
from him, nor was there the slightest
trace of his wheeeabouts. Seemingly
he had disappeared as if the earth had
opened and swallowed bim. The farm
is within a stem throw of Summerhill
school house, and after the farm and
stock had been disposed of, Mrs. Mc -
Tamen moved to Clinton to reside, tak-
ing two of her children with' her, the
eldest remaining in the country with
friends. She has continued to reside
there, a highly respectable but disspir-
ited Woman.
The matter lia.d died out of public
interest, hut is revived by a story now 4
in circulation. James McIleteen is an '
uncle of the man who disappeared,
and his married daughter and her hus-
band, Mr. Brown, reside with him.
Some months ago this daughter was
travelling, and on the train met anoth-
er lady. In the course of conyersation
it came out that ors Brown's destina-
tion was Clinton, when the other re-
inarked that "the neighherhood must
be a had one, as a tramp recently told
her that four other tramps had killed
a fernier named McIlVeen.
The statement was a shock- to Mrs.
Brown, who etigerly pursued her en-
quiries, ancl claims she was told, in
effect), the following story :
"On the Sunday night in question,
four tramps hea gone into Summerhill
school house end put on a fire. Mr.
alcIlvemi, on his way home, saw a.
light in the school, end went in to or-
der the fellows out. They reSisted,and
one of them struck him over the head
with a sleek, intending to stun hire,
hut the blow was fatal. They buried
him an his farni, between two certain
trees ab the rear of the place."
Mrs Brown did not tell her father
the story ' immediately on arriving
home. claiming that for certain rea-
sons she deemed it imProbahle, but it
came, out A few days since. As soon
as it got to the ears of .othees an effort
was made to verify it, but there was
so much Snow on the ground that
geeat difficulty was experienced in lo-
cating the particular spot indicated in
the alleged confession, end it was de-
cided to wait till the snow disappears
before prosecuting the search The
story hasthe semblance of truth
about it, and parties couroborate that
part C.)i 1 icla, ne to the presence of
the four tramps at tbat particular

A Illortreal Gentleman Tells About It
Mr. P3. Bropby, a well-known employee
in the nwhey-order department at the gen-
eral post oface in, Montreal, tells about his
case as follows:
"I hada very severe attack of La
Grippe, which left me all run down, very
nervous, without appetite, and extremely
weak. Very often 1 could not sleep at
night, and I was much troubled with pro-
fuse perspiration, which naturally caused
me much annoyanoe. Learning of the
good effects of Milbuen's Head and Nerve
Pills, I began taking them, and much to my
gratification they have braced me up, i0.
vigorated my entire system, and made me
feel like a new man. I am now all 0.1.1„
and highly recommend these pills to any-
one suffering as I did."
