ACCIDENT
A. drowning accident that has
stirred the whole Province, took place
near Teeswater on Tuesday afternoon,
when Mrs, Jas. Semple,, her daughter
Ohristena, and a cousin, Mrs. Elliott,
of Liverpool, Eng., were drowned in
the Teeswater river, about four o'clock
in the afternoon.
They were going to cross the river,
which runs
through gh the Semple e farm
,
toh
t e sugar bush on the other side,
as the English ladies had never seen
the process of making maple syrup.
They just had ' s got into the boat, when
the current caught it and overturned
it, the river being in flood. Miss El-
liott, a daughter of the lady from
England, was also in the boat, but
fortunately was rescued.
Two of the bodies were rescued late
Thursday night, but the third was
still missing.
The Semple family moved to that
vicinity about a year ago, and are
highly g y re spected. There is a large
family left—the father, six daughters
and two sons.
Oratorical Contest.
The second annual Oratorical con-
test among the students of the Wing -
ham High School was held on Tuesday
evening in the Assembly room. The
following were the contestants and
their subjects :—Mr. C. Treleaven,
"Canada at home"; Mr. W. Linklater.
"Canada's political destiny"; Mr. H.
Mutton, "Masters of the situation";
Mr. W. Ansley, "Canada's task"; Mr,
0, McKee, "Canada's Navy"; Mr. M.
Price, "Aerial navigation." The ad-
dresses were all of a high order, re-
flecting great credit on the young men
and on the institution of which they
form a part. Several of the addresses
were of almost equal worth, and the
judges, Messrs, D. Holines, A. J. Irwin
and S. A. Maguire, hhd no little diffi-
culty in arriving at a decision. How-
ever, .they wore unanimous in the con-
clusion that Mr. Ansley's address was
just a little better than any of the
others and consequently that young
gentleman is entitled to the honor,due
to the prize orator for this year, and
also to the prize offered by' the Prin-
cipal.
The .Lloyd .Sc Sou Industry.
For some time past the Board of
Trade has been actively engaged in an
effort to induce new industries to
locate in our town, and at the same
time to retain all those we have at
present. As' is "generally known,
strong inducements have been
brought to bear
g e on Messrs. Lloyd &
Buchanan to move their factory to
another town. That the citizeus of
Wingham are in earnest in their de-
termination to keep this industry here
was abundantly proven at the last
two meetings of the Board of Trade.
Unanimous resolutions were passed,
expressing regret at the proposed de-
parture of this reliable firm, and in a
few minutes enough money was sub-
scribed to guarantee a free site. At
the meeting last Monday tight, ItIr.
Buchanan, on behalf of the firm, ad-
dressed the meeting, stating that the
spontaneous action of the citizens
would have considerable weight in de-
ciding their course. There was more
in life than dollars and cents, and the
good -will of fellow -citizens was a
sentiment to be highly prized. At
present the matter is still under' con-
sideration, but it is the sincere desire
of every citizen who has the best in-
terests of the town at heart, that they
will decide to remain. Should they
so decide, the firm intends erecting a
factory with a capacity four times as
great as their present one.

SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS.
--A New York Judge has decided
that a man cau get drunk three or
fuer times in a year, and yet be a
gentleman (when he is sober.)
—Four thousand students of the
University of Wisconsin have decided
to cut out the habit of "treating."
It would influence many lives for
good if others would follow their ex-
ample.

—Let us hope that the disquieting
rumors anent King Edward's health
are not well founded. Stxll, Great B
ri-
tain's ruler is getting o1c1, and the dis-
abilities attending such are to be
looked for.

-A. Los Angeles preacher took for
his text recently—"Heads, 1 win ;
tails, you lose." We cannot give the
chapter and verse where this text is
found. Talk about sensational news-
papers. What about the pulpits that
announce such themes for spiritual
helpfulness, and the uplift of a fallen
world?

—The Chicago hog, just the plain,
every day, four footed kind, brought
recently $11 a hundred pounds. The
pig -pen may be short on the fragrance
of the flowers, but lots of people who
raise hogs are ready to assert the hog
emelIs of prosperity so strongly, that
they are willing to put up with his
aroma.
—Andrew Carnegie is still trying to
scatter bis great wealth. At time of
writing this paragraph, hes is in Pasa-
dena, Cal. The great observatory, on
Mt: Wilson was erected and is sup-
ported by means of his generosity.
He recently made a gift to the city of
Pasadena of several hundred thousand
dollars, the interest of which is to he
' devoted annually to the cause of edu-
cation. As he is an enthusiastic golf-
er, the Golf Club presented him with
a fine golf stick with gold head. The
head was manufactured and beautiful-
ly engraved in the establishment of
the Editor's ;son, J. Herbert Hall.
Eight cottages on Mt. Wilson were
prepared for occupation to receive Mr.
Carnegie's party, and several thousand
dollars were spent putting the road up
the mountain in such condition, that
Mr. Carnegie could be taken up in a
very powerful automobile, instead of
going up on a mule or a burro, as an
ordinary mortal does, if not able to
walk the tiresome journey.

We Were Misled.
Last week's Advance contained an
article referring to the Teeswater
News, in reply to an item that paper
published in its issue of Mar. 10th.
We regret that we paid any attention
to the article, for it so happens that
Editor McKenzie was not the author
of it (having only copied it) and that it
was an effusion from the brain of the
Kincardine Reporter's editor. If our
readers will kindly take last week's
item and apply it to the bumptious
editor of the Kincardine Reporter, the
matter willbe settled.

one's own thrift, is preferable to a
pauperizing pension roll."

Particulars of the bill will not bo giv-

duced again and put to a vote. Under
the present local option law no penal-
ties are provided for corrupt practices
as are provided for on the taking of a
vote on money by-laws, Provision
will also be made for dealing with the
votes irregularly polled for or against
a local option by-law by persons non-
