SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS. —T• he Toronto World of Stay 13th wiehes to know—"What advantage is reciprocity to the farmer with hogs and tenths selling in Toronto at above American rates? Lemits were sold in Toronto yesterday at $10 per cwt,, while at Chicago the top price was $7 and at Buffelo $5 to $7 35, * * —The results of Canada's fifth census should soon be known.

Canadians will all join in the hope that they will not tunable to pieces • like the Laurier tower, nor fall down into a hopeless wreck, as did the taltebec bridge, both of which were built under the Government super- vision. —One of the greatest calatnities in the history of Ontario is the awful fire that has devastated several town- ships in New Ontario, destroyed the town of Cochrane, and a number of mining camps. Greater than the immense toss of property is the ap- palling loss of human life, not only in the centres destroyed, but in the woods where scores of prospectors were at wok, The lure of the gold has again proved the fate of many. The number of lives lost has reached nearly one hundred, See page 7 for full report. --Now that the United States bat- tleship the Maine has been raised, It is clearly proven that the Spaniards did not destroy the vessel, but that she was rent to pieces by an exploston from her own magazines. Yet the supposition that Spain did it, led to 'the Spanish war, and secured Cuba for the United States. Nations as well as individuals suffer from injus- tice founded on mere supposition. The truth now known in this case shonld eas a standing warning to the 'United States (and other natione) not to rush into war for imaginary melees, or at the dictation of yellow journals and unprincipled men who hope to erofit by the blood of others, "Re- member the Maine" should now have a very different meaning from what it had during the war. —Again there are rumors of a Dominion election not far off, and the rumors have been strengthened by statements in Liberal papers, some placing the date as early as Septem- ber. The Toronto Globe thinks it is not possible to be ready before October. It was generally conceded that no election would be held until after the redistribution following the recent census, but at present the trend of opinion is in the direction of an early appeal on the ridings as tow constituted, One thing can be relied on — that is, if an election before redistribution will best suit the pros- pects of the party in power, then it will he held. The question of justice to the inereased population will have less to do with fixing the date of the election, than the question as to how it will affect the Government. If an election before redistribution is more favorable for the Liberals, it will be held; if the ebances are likely to be better e, year from now, the election will be delayed. Card Of Thanks. " We desire to extend our thanks to the citizens of Winghann for their many acts of kindnees manitested to- wards us during our receet bereave. rnent by tise death of the late T. A. Mills.—Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Mille. Prom Yellowgrass. Mr. John Phillips, formerly of this vicinity, now of Yellowgrass, Sask., in renewing for two years, says :— "Trope are first-class in this part of Saskatchewan, and and is selling readily at $50 an acre seven and eight piles from town, and nearer town $05 has been offered, and in one case, $85 was offered and refused." This will give some idea of the increase of land values in the great West. —It is claimed that the receot cen- Bus will show Canada's population to be eight millions, but the figures are not likely to be known before October. The representation of the West is sure to be increased, and by the ar- rangement of the constituencies by the party in power, the Liberals Steed to gain in Sokatchewan and Alberta. But Witinipeg, Toronto, Montreal and British Columbia will have intreased representation, that will incline to the Conservative side. Li the reduttion of seats in the maritime proviecee, the Goverrtnimet may lose a few Beate, while in Ontario is likely to lose Con- sertrative seats (especially if a gory - mender is effected) so that thete are ebances in either ease. One shretvd political observer is authority for the statement that it will not melte et dlr. ference of five Beats to either party, Thus, if one side can shift the respon- sibility on anothet, there won't be much bother about this question or at least not sufficient importance Wade ed to it to prevent an election. Par- liament te-assernbled on Tuesday last, and from present indications neither side is leclitted to give Sva.y on the Reciprocity deal, and hence tt dead- lock may result, lo this cate, slisselue tion of Parliament and an early ap- peal to the electorate may he ex - pee ted, An engine teering along the Gode. rich line, with part of the tender off the twit, ripped up nearly SOO ties and delayed the train for 1Ve/1W kora, A Bad Fall. On Thursday last, Mr. Richard Slimes of 'town met with an accident that will lay hire aside for some time. He went out to the farm, as he often does in the busy time, and was as- sisting his son with the haying. Standing on a load of hay, he was pulling the rope of the hay -fork, when he lost his balance and fell backwerd to the barn floor. Fortunately no bones were broken, but Mr. James was badly shaken, and has since been confined to his bed, and has suffered considerable internal pain. We hope, however, no permanent injury will result, Cut By Mower. An accident happened on Feiday last to Wilfrid, son of Andrew Mc. Kague, of Culross. The young man was driving the mower in a rough corner of a hay -field, when he found a piece of a log in front of the knives. With the assistance of the hired man, he was about carrying the log away, when the horses took fright, and as he was standing in front of the knives, he was caught as the horses tnrned to run. His legs were badly mangled by the knives, but he was brought to Wingham hospital and is doing nicely. The horses ran some distance and damaged the mower. The Commissioners. By the absence of Mr. VanNorman, the Commission was left at the dis- advantage of only two members being available, and one of these (the Mayor) is frequently - absent from town on business conuected with his Colleges. This made the election of another Commissioner a necessity, and many were much pleased, when Mr. Young consented to act and was elected. Imagine their disappointment, when they learned that next morning after his election, Mr. Young also left for the West, perhaps to be absent in- definitely. Just at the time when a full Board is necessary, it is again reduced to two. We do not think Mr. Young should have accepted the position knowing that he was going to be absent, when work of impor tance is to be undertaken. lie should make .a good Commissioner, and we hope will not be long absent, when the united wisdom, judgment and effort of the Commissioners are re- quired on the work to be accomp- lished.

Death From A Fall. The death occurred on Sunday of Sohn McKnight, a well-known and highly -respected resident of Howielt. The deceased sustained a severe fall from a load of bay on 'Friday evening last, which injured his spine and hurt his head internally, Although he re- mained quite conscious, the &adore, owing to the serious nature of his in- juries, were unable to do anything but alleviate hie pain. Entrance Exam. Results. In another column will be found the names of the successful candidates at the recent Entrance examination. There were 09 candidate who wrote, and of these 47 were successful, 29 of these being from Wingbam Public School, Principal Stalker has reason to feel gratified at ths success of his Entrance class. He recommended 27 for trial, but 36 decided to write, and of these, 29 passed, six of them taking honors. Garden Party.

Most porters make up berths so that one's head is toward the engine. "Ex- perience has taught me," says a traveller, "that, in case of a collison or even a common quick stop, this may xnear, a bruised head or a wrench- ed neck. So I always ask to have my berth made up with my feet toward the engine. In a recent collision I was the only person in a crowded car who escaped more or less serious injury, and I believe that I owe this escape to my position, as when I was thrown with the force of the impact, I alighted as it were, on my feet, while other passengers were thrown head- foremost," (Mum!)

A Great Goose. The Chesley Enterprise has the fol- lowing :—Pal Fritsch of Sullivan Tp. Is the owner of as valuable a goose as the one that laid the golden egg, This particular goose laid 15 eggs this spring and hatched 11 goslings. A week after the goslings cracked their shells the reliable old goose got busy again and laid 11 eggs more of which only one was bad, This is a great record for a goose and if any of our readers have their doubts about the accuracy of Paul's figures, drive out to his farm and see the prolific old goose. Married la Kincardine. Ideal weather, a pretty place ((he lakeside town of Kincardine) July 12th, an estimable young lady, and an industrious, steady young man—all these, and what more could be desired for a happy marriage day. So thought Mr. Arthur E. Angus and Miss Lottie J. Guest of Wingham, for on the above date, and in the above named town, they were united in marriage at the Methodist parsonage, Rev. Mr. Ferguson performing the important ceremony. It was a quiet event, but the many friends of Mr. a.nd Mrs. Angus wish them a very happy married life and the' Advance joins in the wish. Coronation Procession. When the Coronation procession was trailing its glorious lengths through the streets of London and holding the bretithless attention of the hundreds of thousands gathered from all parte of the world to witness its historical grandeur, a little group of Canada's leading citizens occupied one of the best stands. They were un- animously of the opinion that it Was the most striking spectacle they had ever seen. When they were inform- ed that it would be reproduced in every detail at the Canadian National Exhibition their entiessiasm was boundless. It touched their national pride that Canada possessed an in- stitution of such magnitude that it could undertake the reproduction of the greatest procession ef the twentieth century and of such repu- tation that the 'undertaking of it would mean its fulfilment to the last letter, personals Lewis Beecroft left on Monday fat Edmonton, Alta, Miss Edith Johnston is home from Toronto on her vacation.

Graham was called to Lott Angeles by the illness of his son, who after his recovery returned with bins, After spending some time in Wingbana. David returned to the coast. His death occurred on July 4th, but Mr. Graham had no word until burial had taken place, the word of hie death having been sent by letter to a sister, and by her to Mr. Graham in Wing. ham David was a steady young man, respected by all, and for several years was clerk in the store of the late ¶I'. .A, Mills. Home From Old Country. Dr. Irwin arrived home on Monday from his trip across the Atlantic, feel- ing the benefit of the sea voyage of twelve days going and ten days on the return, or 22 days of ocean travel. His steamer called at Havre, a sea- port of France, but the doctor did not mingle with the gay Parisians. The coronation scenes were grand, and our townsman got an excellent vies*, of their Majesties in the procession. Ile was, however, more attracted by the appearance of the Queen than of her royal husband. The trip was very enjoyable throughont, and the doctor is now back to his drill and pinchers, feeling strong enough to tackle any disgruntled molar that dares to cause trouble with any of hie customers, In Midst Of The Fire. Mr.'Jos. Bradwin has a letter from his son Edwin, who is Secretary of the Reading Camp Association for New Ontario, with headquarters at Coch- rane, and who for the second time lost all his outfit in the great fire. At time of writing, Ed. bad come down the line as far as North Bay, for a day's rest, after the sad scenes of the fire days. Conditions are bad, he says, "terribly sad," but from what he could see the death lose will not be as large as at first feared, and probably will not exceed 80, Ed, was in the very heart of the devastation at Porcupine and helped to carry on it stretcher for two miles, Mts. Meek, over burned bush and fallen trees, Fortunately, though he rendered all the assistance he could to the sufferers, Ed, came off without any injury to himself. He says—"When there is danger, I want to be in the front rank to help thepoor sufferers." He came in from Hollinger, over six miles of fire -swept area to South Porcupine, but when he arrived, the town was swept as bare as a floor, but still hot with burn- ing debris. Cochrane was swept again completely, over an area half the size of Wingharn. Ed, had taken a grip and pocksack to Porcupine, and left them with a- friend, who buried them with his own, when he saw the fire coming. But the heat WaS so intense, it dried the mnskeg, and everything went to ashes, and he was left without anything except the clothes he had on. But as he says— "Who will cotieplain, when he sees the suffering and wretchedness of so many. I em thankful for escape and good health." The New Evaporator. The Advance reporter had the op- portunity on Monday, of looking through the new Evaporator of Brown & Wilford, now ready for the fell trade. The building is of cement, 10x71, substantially built, and inside is fitted up with the most up-to-date machinery available for the purpose. The motive power is a five horse pow- er gasoline engine set on solid cement floor, running vsithout a jar. Running lengthwise throughout the work -room is what might be termed a work -table, but it is more than that. Above it is the title shaft frotn which the power is conveyed to six parers. These parers are a wonderful invention; they not only pare the apples, but core there at the same time, while one ingenious contrivance ejects the core and an- other the apple which rolls On a slant table to the trimmer, while the waste falls through an aperture on the table on to an endless belt which carries it to the wade loft, where it is dried for shipment to France. The apples rolled to the other side of the table, are trimmed of any skin untouched by the peeling reathine. By another belt, they are carried to the other end of the work -room where an elevator carsies them upstairs to the dicer, attar they 'tram passed though the bleaeber. When &Heeds they are car- ried to the dry -kiln, unilertieath which two oke fureaces will furnish the heat necessary, Altogether four furnates will be in use, There seems to be abundattt storage capacity both for the green apple and dried produtt. Each of the revolving paters is eats. able of peeling and coring 75 bushels per day, making tt total tapacity of 450 buthele. The plant were drawn, the building erected, attd the Machin- ery placed in position by Mr. Brown himself, after an extended trip to some ot the United. States cities and large evaporating plente. The build- ing is in readieeea for the fell trade, and hes bon eteefed arta equipped at it large outlay. The AdVatlee hopes that the proptietor* may have ecrtn- tnettattftte returns for their enterprisue and expenditure, Death Of T, A. Mills. Few men were better known in thie section of Huron county than Thos, A. Milts, "who passed away on My 13th, in hie 08th year, after a protract- ed illness. Mr, Mills was born in the township of Beckwith, in tlse county of Lanark, and spent his early years in that eection of Coterie. In 1802, he accepted a sltudion as clerk in a store in Elora, and thus began a mercantile life. After eight years' service as clerk, he engaged in businese for him- self. The opening op and develop- ment of Enron county attracted the young merchant, and in 1873, he locat- ed in Wingham, where hie business faculties brought him succese and a prosperous business. The business he built up is probably the oldest mer- cantile establishment in town, having been in existence for 38 years, and is stilt popular with the purchasing pub- lic. Por some time previous to his death, it was evident that his energies were failing and he went to Buffalo four months ago for treatment. He died on Thursday last, and the re- mains were brought to Wingham, and on Saturday, taken to Elora for interment. Mr, Mills was a strong Liberal and ever active in the interests of his party. In religious matters, he adhered to the Anglican Church, and the Mills' Memorial Hall is evidence of his liberality to the parish. Ele leaves two brothers. John of Caro, Mich„ and Wm. of Ta,was, Mich,; also two sisters, Mrs. Stanley of Perth, and Mrs. James of Cleve- land. Among those from a distance at the funeral were his brothers from Michigan, Miss Etta Mills, Tawas, Mich„ Miss Stanley of Perth, Mrs. Mills and Mr. and Mrs. Van Every of Essex, Wm. Mille of Woodslee, and Mrs. Richardson of Detroit. L local Items Good Flour.—Awde'e, Wingham. Wear Greer's Shoes and Rubbers. Read Willis & Co.'s advt, on page 8.

Of course everybody denied ownership, and we are tolerably sure' the thing did not fall from the Mayor's pocket, and yet some critic will say that if he had not commenced the haridshalse, the etitnulator would surely have eased a dry spot not far off. Mayors (like editors) get blamed when they do not deserve it. W. A. Campbell, Walt. McKibben, John Ritchie and last (but not least) Geo.

For in- stance, if one of the quartette should take ill, depend on it, McKibbon will recomnaend the Rexall remedies. If any of them should spoil their good suits, Campbell will hint that he knows it good place to secure a fresh outfit. If any of thetn will rush into danger, the very presence of Ritchie will suggest fire insurance. If gloom should settle upon the group, the Mayor by repeating some of his side- splitting jokes, can make the woods around the city reverberate with peals of laughter. It is quite a com- bination.
