Convention for the purpose of select. ng a oaudidabe to carry the Liberal ban ner at the nest Dominion election in the nest Riding of Huron will bo held in the Town IIall, Brussels, on Friday, Septenn- ber'21et, commenoing at .1 p. in. Ad- dresses are expected from Dr. McDonald, M. P. ; Jno, McMillan, M. P. ; Thos. Gibson, M. P. P, M. Y. McLean, M. P. P., and othere, A meeting of the Execu- tive will be held at 10;30 o'clock, at which all the members are asked to be present without fail. Each polling sub-diviaion is entitled to elect five delegates to repre- sent them at the Convention. Let there be a rousing rally from every municipal- ity. THE Toronto News as afterr the Indus- trt1 Parr managers with a sharp sttak and attributes the shortage of nearly 24,000 compared with 1893 to the mis- management of the officials. The at- tractions also receive a raking over. Manager Hill will enter an action for slander, it is said, against the Newe for their unasked "testimonial." 241,000 is not a bad figure to be spent on the preparation of the Dominion voter's lists so fax this year, but when it is remembered that it is that much money thrown away ae far as utility is concerned fair minded people will see the absurdity of maintaining such a system when the Provincial lists, prepared by each municipality, would answer every purpose better. POLITICAL animus is strongly developed in some people and at the head of the list we would place Bro. P. E. W. Moyer, the erratic editor of the Berlin Newe. When the question of Sabbath observance came up at the General Conference in session at London, at which Bro. Moyer is a delegate, he donned his war paint at once and wanted the name of John Charlton, M. P., who has taken a fore- most place in this matter in the Domin- ion Parliament, struck out. Mr. Moyer's political feeling cut no figure with the Conference who promptly voted down the motion with a large majority. Brauviwan postoffice building, which also contains the offices of the various Government officials located there, was gutted by fire last year and had to be vacated. Instead of the structure being repaired at once it has lain month after month without a roof, the plaything of the elements, while rents are being paid for the buildings occupied by the officials. Itiea downright shame and no excuse appears to be offered for the delay except that a Dominion election is in sight and the large amount to be expended in re- pairs may be a bullseye for the Govern- ment candidate to offer the "boys." TORONTO papers state that the Massey - Harris Manufacturing Company will, probably, remove to Niagara Falls, U. S, because of alterations in the tariff cutting off a portion of their profits. Mr. Meesey is credited with telling an Ameri- can reporter that "The Canadian Govern- ment reduced the duty on mannfaotured goods from 20 to 85 per cent., but kept the duty on raw materials as high as ever thus enabling the Americans to ship in here their manufactured products very advantageously. Under such conditone we could not complete with the markets of the world. That new Democratic tariff will help your country immensely. By freeing raw materials ib will cheapen the cost of manufactured articles both to manufacturer and consumer. It will draw to your side many manufacturing concerns of Canada which want a wider market and an opportunity to manufac- ture goods more profitably." This "wider" market should be smoked in the pipe of the anti -Free Traders even if it makes them sick. HUTOn County. Arabia Bishop. of Ueborne, ex -M. P.

Woodman is among the vie - hors to the Fair, and canes from near Clinton, He met a former acquaintance on the Fair grounds Monday in the per. son of Mrs. Frank Hall, of London West, and was invited over "to see the girl" by the Haile, and drove over to London West in the family dray. Wm. Line also lives in the Hall home with a very young wife, whom Woodman seems to have un- derstood wag "the girl" he was to see. He was asked by Lane how much money he had, and replied that he would give all he had with him, and produeed two bills. He was "pretty well on," and 4,7 bills, Lane grabbed; tate money and shaved Woodman out of dowse.

Troable is anticipated by the G. T. R. authorities over the now system of paying off their men, says the Stratford Beacon., Prominent employees of the road claim that the change will benefit the company only and that the men would much prefer tbe old system of cash payment instead of being put to the trouble of having their checks aseked. Tuesday night of last week the quiet repose and peaceful dreams of Simon Rupert, of Milverton, were unduly and unexpectedly brought to a sudden termin- ation by an unusual disturbance among bis cows. On going out to investigate Mr. Rupert discovered tbat a black bear of enormous size had had the audacity to wander in among the bovines. As he was alone, unarmed, eleepy and at several other disadvantages, Mr. Rupert decided to postpone active hostilities until the dark shadows of the night had been trane- formed into sunbeams. At seven o'clock in the morning the bear wars again located in the vicinity of the cemetery. By a clever shot from Chief Hartmeyer the monster was laid low. The caroas was put up at auction. Many were the per. sons who were anxious to buy. Mr. Dierlamm, of Berlin, was the porohaeer at $19. The proceeds were divided among the hunters.

The mysterious disappearance of an old lady named Mrs. Berry, is causing considerable anxiety to friends in; Brant- ford and Simeoe. She is rather feeble- minded, and in August left Brantford for Simone, after visaing her eon there.

Weatherhead was going through the bush near Cape Chin, and got between some cube and the old bear. He got a stick to whack the cube with, when the old she bear came up as a reinforcement, and then there was some ehillalah play. He fought and shouted, when some who heard him came to hie assistance, to find the old he bear there ae well. The bears were driven off, but it was a narrow es - nape. Another day Tom White fought a big bear and had only an axe. They varied the fight with ocoaesionalfoot races, and Tom could beat him running as well as fighting. Bears ace think up there this season, and the hunters are all-round athletes: WiertenCanadian. The Bruce Herald is responsible for this bee story :—"On Saturday after par. taking of dinner, Mr. Wkitebead took a seat for a few minutes on the verandah. The women had been preserving during the forenoon, and this may have been the pause of the arrival of a number of tame bees. Some of these commenoed buzzing unpleasantly close to Mr. Whitehead, and he used a fan he had in his band to lay BOMB of them out. After killing some of them they apparently got angry, and he was forced to take shelter in the house. Before entering the door he saw what ap- peared to be a whole swarm of them coming directly to the house. These tried all means of getting in, and if any of the family showed hie face at the win- dow the bees would dart at the face and cover the glass. Finally the bees flew down, pioked up their dead comrades' and carried them off. In some wayit sup- poised ir - posed word was sent to the hivand the swarm sallied forth to revenge their dead comrades." On Saturday morning a colored prison. er named Herbert was shot by Uilbert Hartley, a Central Prison guard, Toronto, and is now lying in the prison hospital in a serious condition, though the doctor thinks hie life is not in peril. Herbert is employed in the broom chop, and refused to work. Hartley threatened him with punishment, and tbie roused the prison- er's temper, and he clinched with the guard. After a short straggle the men separated,and Herbert ran for and pinked up the knife with which he worke. With this he rushed at Hartley, who drew his revolver and fired, the bullet striking the negro in the breast. The prisoner was taken to the hospital ward, and attended to by the prison physician, Herbert is serving a two years' term, and has al. ready been a year in the prison. He is a sullen ill-tempered and brutal fellow and. has repeatedly threatened the officials of the prison, but until Saturday he did not break out into open mutiny.

On Saturday afternoon, Satnaol Davie, 1 of Oriel, hued about 05, met with a fatal aooidout while engaged in digging for water at the bottom of a 70 foot weal on the farm of Jos, Chambers, 7th line, Rash Oxford, Ae many fent of the well was blue clay, no curbing was used, as it waa not expected that any of the earth would nave in. Davie woo busy ab work when a quantity of earth about 90 feet down, coved in and fell over 40 feet on to him, knocking him senselose, Chris. Casey, a farm.band, near by heard the nolae. and upon looking down the deep bole could only see the elbow of the unforbitn. ale mad protruding above' the earth, With great bravery and presence of mind. he at once deoaended to the rescue, and it woo only after some desperate work that he succeeded in digging Davis out so ea to be ttblo to fatten a rope around him. Dr, Watoon, of Bargesaville, strange to say, was passing' at the time of the accident, and was on hand when Davis %vas brought to thetop unconscious. Upon examination it was/found that. all his ribs were broken, also one arm and both legs in several places. Davie linger. ed in great agony until Tuesday when death relieved him, Deceased was a native of Yorkohire, England, and leaves a wife and several ohildren. On Sunday, September 2nd, Master Tommy McGee, who lives on the Bob- oaygeon road, went out to have a look at the field of green oats, and much to his surprise discovered a large bear. Thos. is not a boy to be soared, though he had only seen "a bear once before in his life. $e is a boy who is right on business, and the moment he saw the bear, hewonted $LO ahead for bear pelt, besides a fine lot of good bear steals. So he did a quiet sneak and cautiously avoided disturbing the bear, which was munching away at the oats, and putting a comfortable pres- sure on its tum -tum. Tommy sloped home and reaohed for the rifle and quickly returned excitedly wondering whether the bear had sloped home. Quietly oreeping up he beard the tramp and rustle of the bear in the oats. Then he squatted, and the beating of his heart was like the thumping of a dash oburn. But Tom pulled himself together, and the trigger of the rifle bo full gook, tilted his hat further back, and wiped his right hand on the north.eaet corner of the baggy part of his overalls. Suddenly the oats in front of him parted, and the bear woe before him and only a few yards distant. In an instant Tom was upright on his feet, the ride oame to hie Shoulder, hie eye ran along the glistening barrel, and there was a flash and a zipping oraok. The bear gave a roar and made one bound. That one spasmodic spring was its last, for it fell to the ground dead. It, was a, she .bear in moderate condition, and weighed 880 pounds. Bobaaygeon In- dependent. The water in A. Ahren'e well gave out and he engaged G. Barton to., sink the well •lower and find water. The first twelve feet were proteoted by a wooden orib, somewhat decayed, and the remain- ing six feet were brioked up. On Mon-, day morning work was begun, and be- tween ten and eleven o'clook most of the brick bad been removed, when without warning the old crib gave way and the earth and sand caved in and completely covered Barton, who was standing 'erect at the time. Mr. Ahrens, who waa at the top of the well, slid down the rope to the reaane, and at the came time called to Mrs. Ahrens, sitting on the door step a few feet away, to run for help. Ahrens found that sand to the depth of six' or seven inohee covered the head of the nn - fortunate man. He palled the sand away but hie hands b t a 'most as feet ae he scraped it away it filled up again. With the energy of despair he worked away and soon had Barton's head nn - covered, but notwithstanding the utmost exertions he could not keep the Band away and the man was buried again and again. When help arrived Ahrens was up to hie waist in sand. A board was lowered and it was thought that his face might be kept clear, bat it failed, A. sheet of tin was then tried and was more successful. Barton, who appeared to be the most collected of the lot, advis. ed that a crib be made and lowered over him or he would never be taken out alive. After 50 minutes hard work the orib was made and lowered and the danger was passed. A lot of hard work still remained as the crib was not large. enough to permit a shovel to, be need, and the sand had to be lifted out with e small scoop. About three o'olook a suf- ficient quantity had been removed, so a rope was fastened around him and he was drawn out and hat a glimpse of the sun which he but a short time before never expeoted to see again,—Hanover Poet. 1, 1:894 FA L L + BOOTS SHOES!
