39T11 YEAR, NO. 22.
WINGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, JANUARY 2a, 1911.
SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS.
-Many a man on the unpleasant
side of prison bars, is there because he
resolved to "get rich quick." This
fact is so well known that it seems
old-fashioned to repeat it; and yet
all have not yet learned the lesson.
The fate of Travers, ex -president, is a
case in point. Not so long ago, he
was Bank president ; now a convict.
Then he had a magnificent home,
steam yacht, automobile; every com-
fort, even luxury. This has been ex-
changed fora narrow cell, a hard bed,
cropped head, and prison fare. No
costly viands, no silver plate, no
butler in livery as of yore -just a very
common plate, knife, fork and spoon,
and no luxuries. He is not known
even as Mr. Travers, but simply as
Number-, Why this sudden change ?
Dishonesty. Gambling in mining
stock with other people's money.
Hard-earned dollars of the toilers ; the
savings of the old ; every dollar some
people had -no difference -all went
into the Farmers' Bank hopper, in
other words into Travers' speculations.
The result was crash, financial loss to
hundreds and penitentiary for
Travers. Those in high circles, amid
the glamor of gold, costly residence,
and luxury, deserve to suffer just as
much and just as severely as the
poorest citizen. The "high.falutin"
must learn that -"The way of the
transgressor is hard" as well as the
common burglar. It takes a stiff
sentence to euforce this lesson, "lest
we forget."
DIVISION COURT.,
Thursday last was a long day for
Judge Holt and the Division Court off
ficials, and it was late before the busi,
nese was concluded.
Hamilton vs. Miller - Case of dis-
pute over cow sold.. This was up in
May last, and pltff, was non -suited ; a
new trial was granted, on alleged new
evidence -judgment reserved; amount
claimed by Hamilton, $50.
R. Breen vs, J. T. Scott -Dispute
over deal in cattle and $5 said to he
paid on deal. Judgment reserved.
Boyd vs. Garton - Judgment for
plaintiff for $3 35.
J. McLean vs, Knight -Account for
$30.97, for coal furnished defendant
while drilling well for Winghatn
Water Commissioners ; judgment for
plaintiff.
Putland vs. Knight -Account for
board, $23; judgment for plaintiff.
-Hon. W. J. Hanna deserves credit
for his . efforts to reform Ontario
criminals. If he only partially suc-
ceeds. and if only a small percentage
of prisoners are reformed, and become
trusty, industrious citizens, Mr. Han-
na will have earned not only the
respect and gratitude of those directly
benefitted, but of the entire province.
The Guelph Herald thus describes the
new prison building now being com-
pleted in that city :-"Only fifteen per
cent. of the accommodation for
prisoners will be cells. In these will
be placed the men, who cannot be
trusted to be at large, or those who
become unruly while in prison.
Sixty-five per cent of the accommoda-
tion will be in the form of dormitories,
with fourteen beds in each dormitory,
where the men will sleep, as they now
do in the temporary buildings, with
the windows open and doors unlocked.
No armed guards will parade up and
down the corridors or stand at the
doors. There will be locks on the
doors of course, but these never will
be used. The dormitories will not be
locked. The remaining twenty per
cent. of the accommodation will be in
the form of small rooms, and those
prisoners whose conduct is good will
be allowed to have a room each. In
each room will be hung some pictures
while newspapers and magazines will
be provided for the occupants. The
fact that they will be allowed to have
a room to themselves is expected to
have a good effect on the prisoners
and the system will be used at Guelph
for the first time in connection with
any prison in the world."
Webb vs. Knight -Account. $30 for
use of engine; judgment for plain-
tiff.
Holmes vs. Montgomery & Muir -
Judgment for plaintiff against Mont-
gomery ; withdrawn as against Muir.
Carr vs. Forler-Action on account,
$25 70; judgment for plaintiff.
W. Guest vs. C. Jobb - Dispute on
contract let to Jenkins, work done by
Guest ; amount, $20 60; judgment for
$20 30.
O'Neill vs. Sellars - Dispute over
wages for $4; judgment for $3 and
costs.
T. Jobb vs. Kennedy - Account for
$50; transcribed to Teeswater DIvi-
sion Court.

Very Busy.
1
Wingham industries are very busy.
Reports reach us this week from
several of the factories, indicating
plenty of work, The . Western
Foundry has a very large force, and
they are all kept hustling to fill
orders. Walker & Clegg's Upholster-
ing factory staff are also busy. The
Bell factory has been working over-
time. W. D. Pringle's establishment
can scarcely fill all the orders sent in.
These areindications of prosperity
that are gratifying.
Ttie Commission.
The Electric Light and Water Com-
missioners have issued a statement of
the receipts and expenditures for the
year 1910. It is worthy of perusal,
and shows to some extent the large
amount of work devolving on the
Commissioners, Every taxpayer
should study it and become conver-
sant with the condition of the de-
partments of which the Statement
treats. We forbear quoting partial'
figures, preferring that our readers
should obtain a complete statement
and thus have an intelligent to u -
prehension of th3 finances. Mr.
Morton is Chairman this year, and
the Commission is considering the
advisability of installingday power,
for which there seems to be a demand.
The Electric Light is a paying proposi-
tion, and as the nuruber of water -
takers increases, that department also
will become a valuable asset. We
consider that the Comneissioners are
entitled to credit for the.,vast amount
of work they cover and the clear
statement submitted. The auditors
say that they found the system of
accounting very efficient and satis-
factory.

W. T.,Hall, foreman and junior edi-

ports a very fine trip across the con-
tinent. The beautiful colorings of
the Arizona rocks when they reflect
the setting sun are a revelation to an
Easterner. After referring to the first
sight of those distinctive snow-capped
w pped
peaks known as the "San Francisco
Peaks" (though they are not any
where near San Francisco) he says:-
"About five oc

Surveying Water Power.
Some time ago at the suggestion of
A. H. Musgrove, M,L.A,, Wingham
Town Council made application to the
Hydro -Electric Commission for the
examination of the water -power on
the Maitland south-west of Wingham.
Later, Mr. Acres of the Commission
staff made a casual examination.
For the past week Messrs. -Ferguson,
Ainley and Roberts, engineers of the
Hydro -Electric, have been surveying
the vicinity of the alleged power, esti-
mating the flow of water, head, etc„
in order to ascertain the commercial
value of the power. They complete
their work of survey on Thursday,
and later will report to the Town
Council. The survey and report are
made without any cost to the town,
and will be decisive as to whether the
power capable of developement there,
will be of any commercial value or
not.
Laid To Rest.
The funeral of the late Mrs. Elliott
took place on Friday from the family
residence near town. Rev. Mr.
Ste, ves of London, formerly of Wing -
be in, conducted the service. Trio of
' he sons being members of the Hockey
team, that organization indicated
their sympathy by sending a beauti-
ful wreath, "gates ajar." The bereav-
ed family feel grateful to the nurses at
the hospital and others, for their kind-
ness during their trouble.

Killed in His Berth.
Mr. Chapman of town received sad
news on Saturday by a telegram in-
forming him that his brother Richard
had been killed in a railway. accident.
Later particulars show that the de-
ceased was travelling on the St,
Paul & Soo Ry. The passengers were
in their berths. when during the night,
an engine with rotary snow plow and
caboose running twenty miles an
hour, crashed into the passenger train,
telescoping it, causing wreckage and
death. Two commercial travellers
of Toronto were killed in their births,
Mr. Hunt and Mr. Chapman. The
latter was unmarried and resided with.
his parents on Ossington avenue. Mr.
Hunt seems to have had a presenti-
ment before he left Toronto Monday
last for the Coast. It was the custom of
Mr. Chapman, to buy accident in-
surance covering about three months
when he took a long trip. Both men,
who were friends, were together when
Chapman purchased his insurance.
Mr, Hunt remarked :-"Well Chap-
man, I guess you are not any more
safe than I am, and if you are taking
insurance I guess I'd better take some
too; you are not any better looking
than I am." With these joking re-
marks each of the men purchased a
policy for $2,500, which entitles them
to $5,000 or double the amount of the
policy if killed in a railway wreck.
This was the first time Mr. Hunt
bad ever taken insurance of this
character. They little thought death
was really so near.
