--For a country of perhaps less than
seven millions of population, Cenada

mileage. The United States leads
evith 229,300 miles; Russia has 41,390
miles; Gerinany, 36,406; India, 29,939
and France, 20,850. Canada's mileage
is 21,101, and is increasing yearly.

—Reseia is at the old game of perse-
cution, and again the Jews are being
driven from their homes by bands of
Cossacks with evhips, Stich brutality

tury. Theo scenes will, however,
hasten the return of God's ancient,
people to their own land, as predicted.

•—The Americans get credit for be-
ing very shrewd, but just see what a
mistake they have made, They are
going to spend twenty-three million
dollars on tWo Dreadnoughts. They
• might have waited, and borrowed the
Laurier navy for one quarter that
sour, for it will be of precious little
use to Canada. In fact we ought net
to be in this navy business at all.

• —The navigation of the air, pro-
nouriced impossible a few years ago,
is now an accomplished fact. On the
28th inst., Glen Curtiss in his flying
machine travelled 137 miles in 152
minutes, or an average speed of nearly
55 miles an hour, from Albany to New
Ayrk. This is faster time than the
best train on that fine railway, the
New York Central, ever made be-
tweei those two places. Curtiss juss
made one stop. Aviatqrs will soon
be attaching wireless apparatus and
publishing a daily paper, as is now
done on ocean steamers. •

—A few days ago en interesting
marriage took place in Montreal,
when Dr. Lussier was married to Mrs.
E. Fournier. The bride and groom
are both over seventy years of age,
and were lovers forty-five years ago.
However, circumstances prevented
their marriage at the time, and later
on when time and distance had 'separ-
ated them, they married others. In
the course of years •the two became
Widowed, and during a recent visit to
friends in Boston, Mrs. Fournier acci-
dentally met the man who had been
her first love. The renewed acquaint-
ance soon developed the old love, and
the marriage resulted.
—What a wonderful change has
taken place in South Atrice A few
years ago Boer and Briton were en-
gaged la hostilities, and soldiers from
all parts of the Empire were evi-
dencing their loyalty by heroic deeds
on the South African veldt. Long
and bitter was the conflict. Peace
again came and the intervening years
have brought such changes, that there
is now a confederation of South Afri-
can States, on the same plan as the
Dominion, with General Botha, one of
the bravest of 113er generals, as Pre-
mier. The Dominion of Canada stret-
ches out its hand to its sister Confed-
eration in South Africa. This is one
of the most remarkable ehanges of
modern history. Peace was proclaim-
ed in South Africa June lst, 1002.

—Notwithstanding the immigration,
there is still a demand for laborers in
meny parts of Ontario, and the West
is not likely to be over crowded.
Director of Colonization, Donald
Sutherland, states that about 1,100
men have been placed on farms in On-
tario within a year, and that theme
are over 300 applications now on file.
The cry for help comes from all ps,rts
of the peovince. It is not confined to
the farm, fer manufacturers are con-
tinually asking the assistance of the
Government in obtaining help. Mr.
SatherIand states that 'manufacturers
and contractors leave their agents mit
tte the depots and even on trains to
tneet the innedgrants from Grea,t Bri.
tain, and offer them ire 'many in-
stances $2,25 per day.

—Premier Rutherford of Alberta
has resigned, as it tesult of the Great
Wnterevays railway. This road veitei
to cost $11,000 It mile, but the premier
gave a provincial guarantee of $20,-
000- a mile, or Surplus of $3,000 a
mile. As the tailevity was to be 850
mike long, there Would be a peofit of
8000 doles 850, or $1,050,000 he divide
among the fortunate politicians, The
thieg heoked ea Muth like a huge graft
for the politicians that Premier Ruth-
erford was forced to resign. Chief
justiee Sifton has been called en to
form A Cabinet, and has coneeeted.
Whether this will eatiefy the Alber-
tans or not, it is difficult to say.
Their experience of Liberal role he

JUNE WEATHER,
Pot Hicks does not give a good ac-
count of June weather. The moon is
on the celestial equator on the 2nd,
calling for decided rise of tempera-
ture, marked fall of barometer, with
rain, wind and thunder on and touch-
ing that date. Change to warmer,
veith electrical stornes occur as a reale,
when moon crosses the equator.
Watch it for yourself and, prove it.
A reactionary storm period is central
on the Oth, '7th and 8th, with new
moon on the 7th. The June solstice
and the Venus eqviinox are both be-
ginning to be felt at this period.
Look for very high temperature, low
barometer and vicious thunder storms
during this period. Heavy rain, with
probable hall, will result during the
progress of these storms, followed
iinrnediately by nnieh cooler. Within
three days of sunset on the 7th, expect
reports of seismic shakes from various
parts of the globe. A regular storm
period covers the 10th to 15th. This
period is at the annpal June crisis of
magnetic and electric perturbations
central every year on June lith. A
reactionary storm period on the 17th,
18th and 19th will quicken the pro-
longed tendency to daily thunder
storms and showers, which condition
may be expected through most 6f this
month, owing to the combined in-
fluence of the June solstice and the
Venus equinox. The mercury period
is also in force at this time, almost
insuring a prolonged spell of stormy,
rainy weather. Regular storm period
is central on the 23rd, with full moon
on the 22nd, the olstice period central
on the 21st, the Venus period central
on the 23rd, and the mercury period
central on the 25th. Including the
reactionary period preceding, we will
say that the regular storm period. ex-
tending from the 20th to 26ths.pro-
mises to be one of the most violent
and dangerous of the whole month or
year. Look for phenomenal electrical
displays, with rain, hail and torna-
does. Reactionary storm period cov-
ers the last three days of June._ The
moon is on the celestial equator on
the 29th, with mercury, Venus and
earth still combined in their disturb-
ing power. Renewed storms of rain,
wind and thunder will visit many sec-
tions on and touching the 20th. The
outlook for June is full of prospects
for unsettled, stormy weather.

There are twelve Division Courts in
Huron county. Number eight is
Wingharn, and the officers are Alex.
Ross, Clerk, and Geo. A. Phippen,
Bailiff. This Court stands third in
the number of suits entered, 152 suits,
for $3,530.80. There were 15 tran-
scripts from other courts, for $1,166.-
71, Thirteen judgment summonses
were entered, The total amount NO
into Court was $1,863.44, The Clerk's
return of fees show $328 00, or third
largest in the county. Bailiff Phip-
pen's emoluments, according to the
returns were $257,43, or the largest in
the county. The less litigation the
better, but when the Courts are re-
sorted to, it is well to have efficient

nosh- not included in Blyth, and that

The Wbitechurcli Episode.
The regrettable incident that
brouglat the village of Whitechurch
into the liine-light a few weeks ago,
came up for hearing last week in
Goderich. The accused received a re-
buke from the Judge, and a fine of $10
each was imposed, Ae we remarked
et the time, those who took part in
the affair were respected, law-abiding
citizens, and no doubt believed they
were justified in acting as they did.
But while their motive may have
been all right, in some way or other,
they overstepped the boundary of wis,
dorn, and came in contact with the
law, with the result, above men-
tioned.
Social Evening.
Tuesday evening, which had been
chosen for the lawn social of tbe Bap-
tist young people at Je A. Kelly's,. un-
fortunately turned out wet and un-
suitable, and the social was held in
the Town Hall. This entailed addi-
tienal expense, while the unpleasant
weather kept many from attending,
However, a goodly number was pre-
sent and enjoyed the program. The
Citizens' Band assisted by rendering
good music. The young people did
not reach the financial mark aimed at,
but must not be discouraged, as the
object they have in view may yet be
attained. They must "try again,"
and hope for finer weather next
time.

A Double Runaway.
On Sunday evening, there was a
lively time in Lower Wingham, and
soine of its residents had to move live-
ly to keep out of the way of runaway
horses. just about the time of the
evening services, two horses and bug-
gies were passing through the burg.
In one were two young men, W. J.
McClertighan and Jas. Simpson;
another buggy behind them were Dus-
tan Beecroft, Miss Myrtle Beecroft
and Miss Kilpatrick, who teaches in
Wawanosh. AS this last buggy was
going down the hill in front of Mr.
Agnew's, the bit in the horse's mouth
parted, and the driver seeing he had
lost control by the reine jumped out
on to the horse's back, hoping to
grasp him by the head and stop him.
The young man was thrown off on to
the road, and the hose dashed on, the
buggy colliding with the buggy
ahead, taking one of its wheels off,
throwing the two Men out, and start-
ing their horse also on the rim.
When near the corner turning to
Winghain, the young ladies jimpect
Miss Beecroft had one ankle dislocat-
a and broken, and Miss Kilpatrick
reCeived a very severe scalp Wound.
The former was brooght to Thos. Cas -
sons' whore Dr, Redmond attended to
her injuries; the latter was taken to
the Hospital and was attended by Dr.
Kennedy. After the ladies jumped,
the horse ran into Mr. three fence
and was stopped. Messrs. McClertig.
han and Simpson, who had been
thrown out were not seriously hurt,
but their horse ran on with the buggy
on three wheels, until it reached the
Exchange Hotel, in Wingharn. At
drat, it WAS feared that Mies Itilpat-
riek's Nutlet' were ,more serietia than
they are, and. Will. Lepard went with
his auto to Ashfield for her father,
and in ping and returning made re-
eord time, 13oth young ladies are
now doing nicely..

From An Old friend,
The editor of this paper was pleased
to hear ortee more from Mr. je .A.
Flack, one of Wingham'e earliest and
most respected residents, but now
living in Alberta, Mr. Flack wrote
to express the pleasure he bad in read-
ing the editor's letters from California
and adds.—"I sent every letter to the
old land. I never travelled so far in
my life, and without dust, or even a
jolt from the car, and for so little cost,
as I did when reading your letters. I
often think of Wingliam and the old
friends there, and sing—"Oarry me
back to Wingham." There may be a
change here, but, as yet cannot say
how it will affect me. Remember me
to all the old friends," --j. A, Flack,
Wedding Bells.
A very pretty wedding was solem-
nized at the home of Mr. John Mow-
bray, on May 25tb, when his daugh-
ter, Miss Mabel E., was united in mar-
riage to Me. Wesley Leggett, a pros-
perous young farmer of Hellen, Wel-
lington county. The bride leaning on
the arm of her father, entered the par-
lor, to the "Wedcling Bell" march play-
ed by Miss Jessie Monteith. The bride
and groom took their places under an
arch of cedar and apple-blossorns with
a back ground of ferns. The bride
looked charming in a dress of cream,
trimmed with over -lace and insertion,
and carried a bouquet of white car-
nations. Upwards of thirty friends
gathered to witness the ceremony,
which was performed by Rev. Mr.
McEachern. Among the guests were
friends from Teeswater, Riversdale,
Hensall and Exeter. The beautiful
presents testified to the high esteem
in which the young people were held.
The groom formerly lived on a farm
near Wlaitechurch, and hence is well -
know in that vicinity. The bride was
a most popular young lady and will
be much missed by a large circle of
friends. After partaking of a sump-
tuous dinner, the wedding party dis-
persed. The bride and groom left on
the afternoon train for their new
home at Hollen. The bride's going -
away dress was of navy blue silk, with
black silk coat, and white hat. Their
many friends join in wishing them
much happiness,
