HORSES DERAIL, TRAIN.
TWO QF CREW BURT,
Ou Monday morning, June 1, the train
which arrives here from Kincardine at
6.33, when within a mile of town ran
into two horses, owned by Mr, J.
Kelly. The engine was hurled into
the ditch, scooping out the ennbank-
ment for some distance. The baggage
car was derailed, but luckily the pas -
Imager coach remained on the track,
and the passengers received only a
severe shaking up. Engineer Moore-
head of Palmerston was thrown a
considerabre distance, and was severe-
ly injured about the arms and knees.
George Harrington of Ripley, Mao
suffered severe injuries. These two
were taken to the Wingham General
Hospital, where they are rapidly im-
proving. Baggageman S. Sleeman of
Kincardine was also considerably
bruised. The auxiliary arrived early
and the evening train was able to pose
straight through to Kincardine.

Sir John A. MacDonald, June
6th, 1891.
lnto the darkness of the pitiless grave
We stretch dumb hands, as we would
rive again
From his fierce clutch Death's last and
greatest prey.
"We will not, cannot lose him 1" Such
the cry
That rose in anguish from the million
hearts
Who counted up those agonizing hours,
And throbbed response to every part-
ing pang
Of his, their guide, their father, and
their friend,
-Not ours to choose, another Will than
ours
Is done. We stand before the eternal
gates,
And know the bolte are drawn for
evermore.
What shall we say ? How speak, when
every breast
Is vibrant to the sting of hopeless loss ?
Like infant babble fall the trembling
words
Which strive to voice a grief that has
no name,
Or praise of him whose fame trans-
cends all praise.
Silence best flte the time when the
bowed face,
Manhood's stern sorrow, and the na-
tion's tears
Are our first tribute to the nation's
dead.
Not the cold tomb receives him ; he is
ehrined
In the warm hearts of half a continent.
Vainly shall marble rise ; his monu-
ment
Is the broad land he built, and loved,
and died for.
Fir not more surely on the hard-fought
field
Of victory falls the soldier (thinking
nought
Of self but all of duty) in the cause
He has sworn faith to—never martyr
sealed
More surely his devotion—than did he,
Who for the space of half an age gave
, brain,
And soul, and tireless thought, his
best, his all,
To one sole purpose, his dear country's
good,
Laid' down his life in ,service for her
sake,
He stood beside her birth -bed ; fondly
held
Her baby hand when her firer steps
were trod ;
Saw her first maiden blush, her bud-
ding powers ;
And at the last, for that she needed
him,
Spared not one hour of toil till Death's
stroke fell,
But, oh bereaved people 1 while ye
hold
the peace of heart -break by the new-
filled grave,
Hearken the words he left ye, echoing
back
From those far courts we may not
penetrate—
Alike our consolation and command.
Hoard them as priceless treasure in
your souls,
Write them in fire and brass that all
may see,
Ring them through mart and hall that
all may hear,
Bind them e.s frontlete on your chile
dren's brows—
"I have loved Canada with it passion•
ate love," •
Oh land, not all bereft while these, his
words,
Live to inspire thee—while his works
remain
Undying witness of his care for thea,
And his great memory, undimmed, en-
.duree
While one stream leaps, or one green
leaf shall wave,
Through all the fair land that be lerved

Conservative Rally
The Liberal Conservatives of North
Huron met in convention on Wednes•
day of last week. There was a large
and representative attendance. Dr.
R, C. Redmond, the president, was in
the chair. All the old officers were
reelected; Then came the important
part of the convention, viz , the
nomination of a candidate to contest
the North Riding of Huron in the
coming election, However there was
only one name mentioned or even
thought of, and on motion of Messrs.
M. Lockhart and P. W. Scott, Mr. A.
H. Musgrove, M,P.P., was re•nominat
ed. This was made unanimous by a
standing vote. Mr. Musgrove thanked
the convention for their unanimous
nomination. He said that in six
sessions at Toronto, he had only miss-
ed four days of attendance and two of
those days were on account of illness,
He was proud to be a supporter of the
Whitney Government, owing to the
honesty, efficiency, and progressive -
nese of its administration. They had
made the ballot sacred. When honest
men now cast their ballot for the
candidate of their choice, they might
rest assured that it was counted, but
it was not always thus. This govern.
went had been in power for nine
years, yet there was no charge of
wrong doing against it, neither had
any member, been charged with cor-
rupt practices during an election, and
if Sir James Whitney had passed
away last winter, and had left no
other record than that he had puri-
fied public life, it would have been
something to be admired. The public
resources of Canada had been conserve
ed, only 10% being in the hands of
private individuals and the other 90%
still remaining with the crown, Tim-
ber limits were conserved and sold in
small blocks,so that the man with
small means had a chance to purchase,
so had the mining lands.
This Government last year had
spent $1,200,000 more on education in
this province than did the old Govern-
ment in 1905. They also spent $300,-
000 more in agriculture and $500,000
more in public institutions.
Mr. Musgrove then dealt with the
good work of the Honourable W. J.
Hanna, as Provincial Secretary, in
connection with the prison farm,
asylums, children's shelter, etc. For
six years he had been on the Public
Accounts committee and there never
was found that one dollar had been
misspent. The Workmen's Compen-
sation Act was actually the best in
any state or province in the world.
The Public Health Act had been
amended so that this province was
not surpassed in its prevention of
diseases. The Government had launch-
ed out in a program whereby they
would spend possibly thirty millions
of dollars in the next ten or fifteen
years, in the making of good roads in
the various municipalities. The tax
on autos was going to be raised so
that the income therefrom would pay
the interest on five million dollars per
year.
The speaker then said Ihat he wish-
ed to say something of a personal
nature. He had been their member
for six years and had always attended
to his duties with the very best of bis
ability. He had lived in this county
from boyhood, and when he was
opposed by Mr, W. H. Kerr from
Brussels the last time, although Mr.
Kerr lived outside of the riding, yet
he thought nothing of that, as he was
still within the county, but he did pot
think that the public would take kind
ly to Bruce having four members,
and the county of Huron, two.
Mr. Anderson, his opponent, had
spoken of being Gerrymandered out of
his riding, but the fact was that the
new ridings were geographically more
seemly, than were the old ridings
which had been Gerrymandered, by
the Liberal government. The new
riding in which Mr. Anderson was now
livioghas aReform majority of almost
one thousand, yet Mr, Anderson did
not wait to try to get the convention
in it and Mr. Anderson know, why he
did not try to get the convention there.
Neither did he wait to try to get the
convention in South Bruce, the new
riding of South Bruce having been
almost entirely in his old riding. It'
W is freely stated that Ml Anderson
could not receive a nomination again
in South Bruce. Mr, Anderson was
epoiken of as a candidate in North
Huron long before the Ire -distribution
Bill was passed. Mr. Cameron of
Lucknow was inose commonly spoken
of as the candidate in North Huron,
and that he 'would run strongly on the
Temperance prank, as Me. Cameron
had al Ways been a Temperance Advo-
cate, However, the Liberal party
wanted to cater to a certain element
which Was displeased owing to North
Huron not getting a three months ex-
tention, therefore they switched to
Mr. Anderson.

his making, but was that of the Do-
minion Government, He defied any
to atate that he had ever interfered
With the adininistration of the License
Act, that the commissioners were ap-
pointed to do their work and he would
not and did not feel that, he should in-
terfere. He would do the same thing
again, and whenever he had to sur-
render leis manhood, he would retire
from being their representative, The
Conservative party had been dubbed
the "whiskey party", yet they had
done more in nine years for Temper-
ance and morality, then had the Liber-
al Administration in the previous
twenty-flve years.
Mr. Musgrove was followed by the
eloquent Mr. C. R. McKeown; from
Duf erin County, who paid a great
tribute to Mr. Musgrove. Mr. Mc-
Keown said that he as whip for the
Conservative party knew how eagerly
Mr. Musgrove's advice was sought and
that in matters of education, no man
in the House had a greater influence.
Mr, Musgrove was alwaye in his place
in the House, Mr. McKeown dealt with
the breaking up of the school -book
monopoly and the bi-lingual question.
As a strong temperance advocate all
his life, Mr. McKeown dealt fully with
the record of the Whitney Administra-
tion, and its method of dealing with
this evil.
This was one of the most enthusias-
tic conventions ever held in North
Ruron and with the record of the
Whitney Administration for the past
nine years and with a Prime Minister,
beloved by all classes, as is Sir James
Whitney, and with a popular candidate
such as Mr. Musgrove, who has made
good, the Conservative party expect
an easy victory.
The Dominion Day Celebr ation.
One of the important features of
the Dom, Day celebration will be the
street parade which it is intended to
hold at 9 a.m. Mr. L. Hinkley and Mr.
A, H. Wilford have this part of the
celebration in hand which assures its
certain success. Liberal cash prizes
are being offered for the best decorat-
ed auto and also for the beet comic
Calathumpian display and the com-
mittee ask the auto owners and all
others who will help to confer with
either of the above gentlemen,
The lady balloonist (who by the way
is supposed to be the best in America)
will go up in her balloon some time in
the afternoon, The time has not yet
been settled but it will take place be-
tween the games and little or no time
will be lost between the different
events.
The committee desires to procure an
able bodied heavy weight gentleman
to go up with the ballonist to act
ballast and are offering a solid gold
watch to the gentleman who will
undertake the trip:
No man under 225 pounds will do
and as the undertaking is quite simple
and safe no doubt there will be many
applicants. Will all those gentlemen
who weigh 225 pounds or over who are
willing to take the ascent kindly hand
their names to the secretary, Mr. W.
H. Willis, and from the different ap-
plicants one will be selected.
Fireworks—the best that has been
Been in these parts will end what will
be without any exception (providing
the weather is favorable) the best
day's celebration ever held in Wing -
ham. Legge posters and bills will be
issued in a few days.

To the Electors of
North Huron :
GENTLEMEN :—
I have again been unanimously
nominated by the Liberal Conser-
vatives of North Huron as their
candidate for the Legislature at
the coming election. Should my
services as your representative for
the past six years, and the honest,
efficient and progressive adminis-
tration of the Government of Sir
James Whitney warrant a con-
tinuance of your confidence, I re-
spectfully solicit your vote and in-
fluence.
If elected I shall in the future,
as in the past, do all I can to ad-
vance the interests of the great
Province of Ontario and of North
Hut o t in particular. Asin 1911,
my opponentQ, having been enable
to induce a resident of this Riding
to oppose me, have gone outside
this Riding, and have imported a
candidate from another county.
Surely such a large, intelligent and
influential constituency as Worth
Huron Should have as its repre-
sentative in the Legislature one of
its own people whose interests are
in this county, and who resides in
thts constituency. Huron and
Bruce are each entitled to three
members. Why give Bruce four
members and Hurolt two. The
Government of Sir James Whitney
will,,
beyond all doubt, be again
returned to power, and it is quite
reasonable to suppose that a sup-
porter of,t that Government. and

Hopeful News.
For some years there has been a
growing anxiety over the rapid in-
crease of insanity.. An American
Government Commission reported
that it is increasing almost three
times as rapidly as the population.
Asylums for the insane are becoming
a great financial burden. They are all
filled to overflowing and there is
constant complaint of lack of room.
People who think seriously of the
subject begin to wonder how long it
will be till the insane equal in number
those of sound mind, The number of
the insane is only a part of the evil
for there is a very large number
whose nervous systems are ruined
who do not require asylums treatment.
Thus we are fast becoming a nation of
neurasthenics.
Finally Science turned her search-
light on the subject and demonstrated
that not only is insanity really in-
creasing more rapidly than the popu-
lation, bat that the main cause is the
drinking habits of the people. This
knowledge was slow in coming be-
cause people generally are unwilling
to admit that drink was the cause of
insanity in a member of their family.
Many times when making out papere
for admission to an asylum, I have
been asked not to answer that question.
However a more hopeful outlook
has arisen in several countries. Now
Chat the cause is known in many
countries they are trying to remove
if. Great news comes from Kansas.
During the last seven or eight years
prohibition has been well enforced,
with the astonishing result that out of
105 counties, 87 have no insane, where-
as Ontario has not a single county
withcut a number of insane. The
asylums of Keneaa promise soon to be
almost empty as many of their jails
and poorhouses are 'already entirely
empty.
This is very encouraging and for-
ever puts an end to the controversy
regarding the principal cause of in-
sanity. Renewed hope has arisen and
a determination to lessen the evil as
rapidly as possible. May Chia hope
determine us to fight the drink evil
till our asylums are empty or nearly
so.
(Sgd.) H. Arnott, M. B., M.C.P.S.
ALCOHOL AND EFFICIENCY.
What silly nonsense appeared in
your issue of last week under the above
heading. Imagine anybody believing
that a man would show a decline of
7 6 to 8% in muscular efficiency, be-
cause be drank a glass of "Bordeaux
wine" twice or three times a day.
' Bordeauxwine" is presumably the
common red wine or clargt of that
part of France, and as a rule has ss
much alcohol as Local Option Beer!
And yet people believe and swallow
this sort of twaddle, and go away
thinking that one of the blessings God
gave to humanity is a curse, and not a
blessing. .
In the name of reason, deal with
facts and not with 20th Century fan -
Mica' fad, Look back over the years
that have passed, and in generations
gone, who have been the men that did
giants' work intellectually and physi-
cally ? Name ten inen of high celebrity
in days gone by who Were Iife.long

Laying of Melville Church Corner Stone.
Empire Day was right royally eels-
brated in Brussels on Monday, May
25th„ when several hundred people on
this aneplcious occasion availed them-
eelvee of the opportunity of witnessing
the corner stone of the new Church
laid, by Dr. McDonald, Editor of the

bytery and state and the chairman of

0, Rose, took their planes on the

Mann proceeded to read a historic
sketch in connection with the old
Knox Church and Melville Church,

tions, also the history of Union Mel-
ville Church, since the union of the
two congregations was consumated,
also in brief gave the history of the
kindred ..organization in connection
with the congregations. This brief
historic sketch, including the names
of the first elders and officials accom-
panied by a copy of the Toronto Globe,
Mail & Empire, Bruesels Post, Presby-
terian Record and a photo of the old
church, also a number of coins were
put into a box, and the box was in.
serted in the corner stone, Tne con-
ventional silver trowel was presented
to Dr. MacDonald who proceeded to
the honored task of laying the corner
atone of the new Melville church, and
in a few but well chosen words de-
clared the stone well and truly laid.
At this juncture of the program, the
audience was asked to remove across
the street to Mr. Fox's beautiful lawn,
which was seated for the occasion.
The verandah and balcony were deco-
rated with flags and buntipg, The
program was again resumed, and by a
special request from Mr. T. Strachan,
sr., who was one of the flret elders of
the congregation, the 80th paraphrase
was sung. The Dr. then continued
hie address in connection with the
laying of the atone. Space will not
permit a full report of his eloquent
address, The Revs. McCullough, Tait,
Landy, Bell, Perrie, Wesley, Wren
and Page, and Messrs Bowman M.P.,

Spring Coal !
p g
Past results have shown
that when buying your Spring
Coal yon should be sure you
get genuine Anthracite.
The name "Scranton" stands
for all you can wish for in
Coal, having the highest an-
alysis of Coals mined yet,
selling at a price to compare
with the lower qualities.
Why not have the best ?
Hared and soft slabs for sum-
mer use at lowest prices.
