We breathe mare easily now from a eense of security. * * * —A ten year old boy in Montreal has been sentenced to a year term for stealing $3.50 fromhis mother, who wanthim taken are of, as site can do notbieg with him. This is certainly a sad case for one so young. Either early training has been of the wrong kind or elee the poor child is the victim of criminal heredity. * * * —A Germ= Judge proposes a novel way of removing the national debt. No one, iu his view, should be per- mitted to inherit, without explicit tes- tamentary disposition, money or real estate left by relatives further rernov- ,ed than parents, grandparents, bro- thers and sisters. All other proper- ties, he contends, should revert to the state. —A midget a a baby girl is report- ed to have come to this world of sin and sorrow on Aug, 17. The parents are Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wallace ot Duque -Inn, Illinois. The little dot only weighed one and a half pounds, is twelve inches long. She is so tiny that a match will hide oue of her fing ers, while her head is about the size of a hen's egg, The doctors says she will live. * * * —Sir Wilfrid. Laurier, on his west- ern trip, is said to have enjoyed the scenery of the Rockies. We do not wonder at that, for any man who could pass through the Rocky Moun- tains, view their snow-capped peaks glinting in the summer sunlight, and not enjoy the sight, would be lacking in love a the beautiful and wonderful. A trip through the mountain gorges, over canyons, and around cloud-hld- den peaks, is to the lover of nature, a journey never to be forgotten. * * * —United States papers have been making a great fess about emigrants from that country to Canada, return- ing disgusted with our Northwest. Well, the numbers coming to Canada from the States are so large, some story must 'be trumped up to stop the moverneiat. But after all, it turns out that not inore than four hundred American settlers in tile Canadian West have returned to the States and many of these went back only to get their wives and families. * * * • —Canada, with its vast resources, as yet only in the infancy of their de- velopment, is attracting foreign capi- tal to be invested in Canadian enter- prises. In this case "foreign" does not include American or 13ritish. With proper conservation of her re- sources, Canada has a bright future before her. The wheat fields of the West, the coast fisheries, the mineral wealth of British Columbia and On- tario, are good' assets. Progressive statesmen or undisputable character, the extermination of graft, careful scrutiny of the expenditure consistent with the proper development of her resources, would bring about astonish- ing results in the next decade in this -4, Canada of ours. Using this word "foreign" as above indicated, seventy- eight nailliort dollars of foreign capital are invested in this country. —A prominent physician in a leas ing journal, says: — "There is no known drug that will add in the slightest degree to the strength or vigor a the human body, and no "tis- sue -builder" on earth except food. The only nniversally reliable "bracer" is exercise in the open ejr and sleeping with your windows open, and the only permanent tonics to the body are fresh fruit, red rneet and green veget« ables. A dollar's worth of cream con- tains ten times the "strength" of any dollar -bottle of tonic ever invented. Eat plenty of real foods, the best you can raise ot buy, and you'll have little need of either patent foods or patent medicines. Any remedy which, uni- versally, or even in the majority of all cases, produees a sense of exhiliara.- tion and improvement is pretty safe to contain a "cheater" a some sort, smelly either alcohol or opium." A Busy Mau. Orangeville Town Constable ought to have enough to keep him out of miechief. The Town Council hits passed a by -Taw providieg for the inspection of milk, meats, poultry and other natoral products offered for sale in the municipality, By virtue of the measure the Town Constable is given, In addition to his already multifarious duties, those of "Inspector of foecie, drugs and agricultural fertilizers and also of rnilk, meat, poultry, flsh and other natural preclude offered for sale for human food or drink." Milk vendors have to take oot alicenee at a fee of 2$o per year, but are liable to a fine of $80 to 2100 if their premises tare not kept m p to the Mark, TOWN COUNCIL, A special meeting of the Town Council was held on Monday evening to consider a communication from the Electric Light Commission, The communication stated that the Commissioners 'had , decided that it was necessary to repair the Lower Town dam, and as they wanted, the work done according to their plans, they had asked Chairman VariNor- man to be inspector of the work, The Commiseloners had no authority to vote one of their members a reinun- elation, and they asked the Council to fix the amount. The matter was warmly discussed, and 1st one time, it looked as though Coun's. Gregory, the Mayor and Coun. Bone would get angry, fall from grace, backslide, or wine other catas- trophe happen. Coup. Gregory could name lots of more efficient men for the job than Van, and the Mayor asked that he name them, but the task was declined. Then Courts Bone intimated that the Mayor was trying to bull -doze the Council, but his Worship declared his guileless innocence of any such enor- mity. Conn. McDonald was opposed to any Commissioner getting any- thing for his services. Reeve Irwin thought the request of the Commis- sioners reasonable, and as they ie - tended to pay the Inspector out of the ea,rninge of the plant, no harm could come to the town, and he reminded Coma. McDonald, that he (McDonald) had accepted pay for inspecting while a member of the Couneil. Coun's. Gregory and McDonald KIM the cases were unlike. Coun. Redmond tried to pour oil on troubled waters by sug- gesting a compromise. Conn's, Elliott and McKibbon said little, but thought much. The Mayor, as one of the Commissioners, asked Coun. Bone if he would like to spend his time for nothing overseeing the job. Corm. Bone was not hankering for the job. Goan. McDonald had doubts about the legality of the thing, and thought Mr. Morton should have given chapter and verse of the law on the matter. Coun. Bone feared it was entering the thin end of the wedge and would end in giving the Chairman of the Com- missioners a salary most or all of the time. After awhile, the storm cloud. began to part. A gleam of sunshine was seen to glint upon the upper left hand corner of the Mayor's brow, and it gradually epread over his entire face. Coen. Bone caught the inspiration too, and even Coun. Gregory's coun- tenance relaxed; frowns gave way to smiles and a love -feast atmosphere once more prevailed. Then there was silence in heaven (no, in the Counci)) for the space of a small part of an hour, But soon— "What are yees going to do about it?" sounded as a clarion call to duty from the Mayor's chair, Then several of the Councillors braced themselves for the task of writing a motion to fit the occasion, but the usually facile pencils seemed paralyzed. Several efforts proved abortive, and the embryo motions were torn up as unworthy of eo great a cause. Finally Coun. Elliott cense to the rescue and his editorial experi- ence and ability soon started the municipal chariot moving again. Editors often help others out of trouble (yes, and help themselves in- to it, too.) Ile moved— "That this Council take no action in naming a salary for the Chairman of the Com- mission while acting as Inspector." Coma. Bone seccesded this, and it car- ried without even a division of the Reuse. . Aside from • any pleasantry mani- efested in the above as written from the' reporter's standpoint, the Ad- vance sincerely hopes that there will not be even the semblance of friction between the Council and Commission, We feel sure that both are working for the best interests of 'the Town. But the best results can only be obtained by union of effort. • The idea, that the Commissionerhave under- taken the job of running the Light and Water departments, and they can get along as best they can, is not con- ducive to the Town's interests, Union of effort and cooperation are required in order to settee the best reeulte.

Lucknow, tut., Aug. 18.—Margaret Mammy of Detroit, aged twentY, died at the 'home of lier uncle, Daniel Mur- ray-, in Ashileld Townehtp, on Wed- nesday, in consequence of drinking tarter emetic, wrongly dispensed for Rochelle salts. Miss Murray, with her brother, sister and parents, had been on an old boys' reunion visit to Lucknow. Her father and sister returned to Detroit last week. On Mouday she called at the drug store of Garnett Armstrong here, and asked for a ernalI quantity of Rochelle salts. Receiving her purchase, she returned to her uncle's, andon Tuesday morn- ing took a doe of the drug, and be - carne violently ill. Emetics were promptly adnainistered and medical aid summoned, but without avail. Coroner Milne of Myth, empaneled a jury and an enquiry was conducted by Crown Attorney Seeger of Gode- rich. The evidence went to show that the error was due, not to careless dis- pensing, but to the accidental placing of the poisonous drug, only a few days before on the empty shelf, in the bottle intended for Rochelle salts. This had been done by an experienced clerk. The jury returned a verdict of acci- dental poisoning, adding a recommen- dation that henceforth the placing of dangerous drugs on the shelves be not left to an assistant. Mr. Arm- strong, who has been in business in Lucknow for friar years feels his posi- tion keenly, but is quite exonerated from criminal negligence in the matter, BOWLING TOURNAMENT.

Meeting commences at 8 o'clook sharp, and everybody will be made welcome. Sunday Schobl Excursion. On aecount of the strike on the G. T. it., a few weeks ago, it was im- possible for the Wingham Sunday Schools to have their annual excursion on the date for which it had been announced. When the strike was over and traffic had. become normal, it was too late to begin negotiations for a new date. On this account, Wingham Sunday Schools have de- cided to unite with Brussels in their excursion to Kincardine on Friday, 26th inst. The train will leave Wing - ham at 845 a,m., and baskets properly labeled must be at the station by eight o'clock. Mayor Holmes has proclaimed Friday Civic holiday for Wingham, and if the day is fine an enjoyable trip is expected. Wingbarn Citizens' Band will accompany the excursion. Drowned At Goderich. On Sunday last, a carpenter named Offord was drowned in Godericla har- bor. He was bathing with four or five companions, who endeavored to dissuade him, when he said that he was going to jump in off the top of the pier, as they knew he could not swim. He jumped, however, into about 20 feet of water, coming up about six feet from the pier. One of the others swam over to help him and was seized by the leg and pulled un- der, but managed to break the drown- ing man's hold, and not being a very good switnmer was forced to save himself. Another man went in after Offord, but owing to .the depth of the water was unable to ieach him. The body was secured, after being about 40 minutes in the water. Offord was an Englishman, about 82 years of age, and had no relatives in this conntry. Barns Burned. The electrical storm that passed over this section of country early on Monday morning lasted for three hours and proved very destructive. The Bell Telephone Co. were put to considerable trouble and expense on their lines, and the 1°,30 Manager, Mr. Binkley,liad his hands full on Monday. Lightning struck a shed at Lepard's hotel in Wingham, and killed a. hog before its time, and several chickens near by belonging to Mr. Wylie. Wm. Thompson, Treasurer of West Wasvanosh, lost his barn from the lightning, with all its contents. The barn on a farm owned by Geo. Mathers and leased by Silas Johnston in Mor- ris, was struck and burned. Fortun- ately Mr. Johnston had stored the crop in the barn on his own farm, but two cattle, Some bens, a cutter and harness were burned. A traveller on the early train from Lueknow noticed the smoking ruins of two barns, possibly in Kinloss. D. Haskins' barn near Belmore was burned, and W. Johnston's was in clanger from flying cinders A number of cattle are te• ported deitd as a result of the storm. Sad Drowning Accident. Unlocked for bereavement brought sadness to the home a Mr. and Mae, William Nicholson, on Monday last, by the death•of their son, Walton, by drowning. The boy did not come home for his dinner, but this did not cause alarm, as it was thought he might have gone to the home of a relative. As night approached, the parents became auxiote, and search began. It was found that he had been at the grist -mill in the forenoon, and later his hat was found near the dam. Search was continued until past mid- niglat *without avail. Early next morning Wm. Bone and Fred Sohn - son began the search again and found the body just below the dam in about four feet of water. A jury was mil - paneled by Coroner Itennedy, and a post-mortem examination made by Drs, Itennedy, Calder and Tamlyn. The inquest will be held on Thursday, when the report of the postestortem will be given. It is however, believed that the tame of the boy's death was purely aecidental, and that he was perhaps walking on the slippery apron of the dam and fell in, no one beteg near to go to his rosette. He was la ?ears of age. The funeral took tilace on 'Wednesday. Prepresentetive for county of Huron.

David Short was pastor of the Penn Avenue Baptist Church at Scranton, he was zealous in the work of securing new members. One man, with whom he had labored exhaustively, was finally persuaded as to his Christian duty, but could not make up his mind whether to become a Baptist or a Methodist. Finally he bit upon a compromise, and wrote a letter to the doctor that be had decid- ed to neje° with the Methodists, but would like to be baptised in the Bap- tist Church by immersion. This so exasperated the good doctor that he sent the following reply—"I regret that I can not accommodate you, but this church does not take in washing." Returned The Compliment, Reeve Joynt of Lucknow is reported to be in very comfortable circum- stances. At least, all will concede thee be is a very, successful business man. It is said that be began life as a poor boy, and was "footing" it into Lucknosv, when he was overtaken by jock Adams, who offered him a ride on the stage. Jock was a good-natur- ed Sootchman and didn't begrudge Joynt a ride. Years rolled. by, and the poor boy became a a successful man, and nearly forty years after the free ride on the stage, he returned the compliment, when in Stine last he chartered a special train and took Jock, together with the Bruce County Council, back practically over the same route. Mr. Joynt's success in life should be an encouragement to boys of the present day. Hard To Beat. The Exeter Advocate has this to say :—The representatives from Hur- on, Middlesex, and Lambton County Councils, who met in Goderich on Thursday, were so good specimens of manhood that they would be very hard to beat.
