D!CTRiCT NEws CF IN1 Mrs, hessian, Huron street, Clinton, who bad been i11 for sown weeks with heart trouble, died on Thursday night from the effects of a paralytic stroke. Rev, J.

At the regular meeting of the Sea - forth Oddfellows, Mr, Frank Smith was presented with a signet ring, ac - compelled by a complimentary ad- dress, He has volunteered for actiye service. The Kilty Band, of Clinton, gave a very successful lawn party on the pub- lic school grounds in that town on Thursday evening of last week, The proceeds amounted to over $200, A leading feature was a baby contest, Mr, Wm Jackson of Clinton, receiv ed quite a surprise one day last week upon receiving a summons to appear in Dundalk as his auto had been break- ing the speed record there. Neither Mr. Jackson or hie car had been in that territory for some time. Word was recieved in Mildmay last week of the death of Coverdale, only son of Mr. and Mre. John Haines of near Listowel, a former Garrick young man, having been born and brought up on the 8th concession, on the farm now occupied by John Coutts, While picking plums at her home on Tuesday afternoon, Miss Fowler, On- tario St., Clinton, fell and broke her arm at the shoulder and wrist. Miss Fowler also suffered from the shock. She was stunned for some time before neighbors heard her call for aid medi- cal attendance arrived. Here is what three old ladies who residein Mitchell have done for theRed Grose: Mrs, Stuart, age 84, has knitted eighty seven pairs of socks; Mrs. Bart- lett, aged 80, knitted seventy-one pairs of socks; Mrs. Brook, mother of Mrs. Shillinglaw, age 87, has knitted eighty- two pairs socks. Two threshings last week prove that Huron County has yet to be beaten for growing wheat. Samuel Gray, of Ashfield, threshed 517 bushels of excel• lent wheat from 101 acres; Neil Mac- Kenzie, of the same locality, 410 bush- els from 10 acres, Harvesting is about all done in North Huron, . W. J. Beatty, a prominent farmer, living on the old Casey farm near Fingal, was instantly killed in St, Thomas on Friday night. He was driving a horse and leading one by a halter. When the horse he was lead- ing struck the wheel of the rig, the animal reared up and kicked Mr. Beat- ty in the chest, The quarterly -meeting of the Goder- ich House of Refuge committee of the County Council was held last week, the usual inspection showing 91 in- mates and everything in good order as usual: accounts totaling $2,417.80 were approved. Mr. Connor, of Clinton, was awarded the contract for supply• ing bread to the House at $3 75 per 100 lbs. Mr, T. L Thomson, president of T. I 1 Thomson Ltd., has been appointed sheriff of Grey County to fill the va- cancy caused by the death of Shelia Moire. Mr, Thompson takes up his duties at once, He was representative for North Grey in the Federal House for a term and prominently connected with mercantile and manufacturing activities for many years. The Brussels Council is finding trou• ble in the construction of the new Main street roadway. TO by-law calls for an assessment of 40% against the property affected, while the cor- poration pays 00%. The residents think the frontage tax is to high and have circulated a petition which has been forwarded to the railway board, asking for a decision in the matter. The question of selling properties owned by inmates that the proceeds might be applied to their care, was again discussed, and Inspector Tor- rance given power to deal with each case as seems best. Miss Haynes, an inmate, was committed to the care of friends in Bayfield, on their request, on the condition that the village gives a bond that hereafter she will not again become a charge on the county, Other cases of persons whose adniiss Won to the House was desired were left for the decision of Dr. Shaw, the House physician, Mr, James Malcolm, president of the Kincardine Red Cross Society, has very generously donated 1,000 quart sealers and one tou of sugar to the ladies of the society. All those wish- ing to contribute fruit and can the same ehould secure the necessary'jars and sugar at once by getting an order of any of the executive committee, Geo. Graham, a North Keppel farm- er, suffered a serious loss last week by the poisoning of his horses. Four splendod animals are dead,and another one is in a serious condition and will not likely recover, Mr, Graham's loss will be from $000 to $1,000, The hors- es were poisoned through eating for- maidlebyde to which had been put on the ground to prevent smut. To have a pitch fork pierce his eye• lid is by no means a pleaeant exper- ience but that is what happened to Cecil Treleaven at Geo. Irwin's thresh- ing near Duugannon, last week, His brother, Harvey, was doing some pitching when his fork accidentally came in contact with Ceei1's right eye, the prong piercing the eyelid close to the eyeball to a depth of nearly an inch. It certainly was a close shave, but we are all heartily glad the eight was not affected, o.® There died in Listowel laot week very suddenry Mr, 3, 3, Archibald, address unknown. The deceased was between 40 and 60 years of age had blue eyest fair complexion, was clean shaven, weight 150 to 100 lbs and was about 5 ft, Cf inches tall, While walk- ing past the Grand Central hotel Sunday noon he became suddenly W. He went Into a room in the hotel wbers he died from apoplexy. A letter was found on hie person addres' sed to J. J, Archibald, written by J. Sager, of Godericb, ;Che body was taken to Hermiston's undertaking parlors. The funeral took place from the undertaking parlors on 'Thursday afternoon to Fairview cemetery, Rev Ii. M. Langford conducted the service. After several adjournments, Robert King of Godericb, was fined $50 and costs, making a total of $77, for hav- ing liquor for sale, The inspectors made a raid on Mr, King's place and found two partly empty beer bottles which had been left over from the night before, which, on testing, was away over the proper test. Mr, King claimed it had fermented over night. Mr. Lannon of the Union was found not guilty on the same raid, J. Bed- ford of the Bedford Hotel was found guilty and fined $50 and costs, This is his third offence, but owing to some flaw in the first two judgements, this had to come in as first offence.

H. Bender of Heneall, came before Police Magistrate Andrews on Wednesday and was settled by Bend- er pleading guilty to the charge of bringing liquor into Huron county contrary to the provisions of the Canada Temperance Act. A fine for a second offence was imposed of $100 and costs which amounted to about $97, about $200 in all, Archibald McMillan, aged 33, and a. Fuslinch Township man, was killed when the flooring of an oxshoot to the barn of Alex. McPhatter, near Clyde, collapsed. A cutting box fell on him, causing internal injuries which result- ed in his death half an hour later. W. Laur, a thresher and his employer, also figured in the accident, but was only bruised. McMillan was married a few month ago. In a case brought under the Canada Temperance Act a short time ago, against Thomas Stephens, hotelkeeper of Seaforth, the prosecution showed that some liquor was found on the premises, bot not in the karroom.` Lawyer Best, who acted for Stephens, put no evidence in, but he contended that, as no liquor was found in the barroom, the prosecution must prove that the Liquor found in any other part of the premises was there for sale, and that it ie only where any liquor is found in the barroom that it is under the act, deemed to be kept for sale. The pollee ntrzgistrate, Mr. F. Herni- ated, K. C., accepted Mr. Best's con- tention and dismissed the case. Mr, Seager, who was acting as the prosecu- tor, argued that the liquor is deemed to be kept for sale if found anywhere in the hotel premisesand declared he would carry the case to a higher court, It is reported that Mr. Seager has since found that Mr. Best's contention west right and that it would be useless for him to appeal. The decision is an important one from the hotelkeeper's standpoint.

It may be of considerable interest to our readers to know that A, Strome, who ty few Months ago opened a gar- age in the skating rink, has invented the best up to date gasoline tank on the market today, which is now pat- ented and will no doubt be a perfect ,boon to hardware merchants, as it can be installed in perfect running order for one hundred and fifty dollars. The tank has a rotary pump with a glass register gauge tube, Should an auto come in and order six gallons of gas- oline, but the auto tank holds only four, the registry gauge is there in plain eight, anyone can tell exactly how much he is getting, while the drain pipe will return the extra gaso- line to the ground tank. A rubber tube conneete this little tank whits. rune directly iuto the auto tank sav ing much labor, with no handling Whatever, Its perfect safety is a.. - other fine feature; no danger of blow- ing up with a safety tank of this kind, Mr. Strome has already had fifty ap. plications for tanks, and theuld he ere fit to sell his right to a large firm with a royalty, he would make money. 3000 gallons of White hose gasoline have boon sold in the shott time since 'ho tank was installed, Mr. Strome has also invented an apparatus for j,tck'ng up care, which is of great im- provement on anything on the market. iVteswater Naws, r 1 Coppley Noyes and Randall Clothing We have just received our fall consignment ' of Suits for Men made up in the up-to-date styles and 'materials.
