Tho fore- going, coupled with the Prohibition Com- mission's "valuable" compilation, should help remove the lighthouse proboscis from not a few. ALTEeuon Japan has modified her terms of settlement with China, Russia does not appear to be satisfied and is poking her nose rather inquisitively into the Sunrise Kingdom. There is such a thing as Russia going a step too far in meddling with what does not concern her people very intimately. Tiro decease of Judge Toms will prob- ably make room for the promotion of a Huron County Barrister to a Judgeship. If eo, the most likely person is E. L. Dickinson, of Wingbam, whose appoint- ment would be popular with all classes. He is well qualified for the position and has had considerable practice in pre• siding at Division Comte, PerthC3 nty. Mrs. Henry Schultz, of Milverton, slipped on a piece of dandelion flower, which was lying on the kitchen floor and fractured her leg. She will be laid up for some time. The assessment of the town of Mit- chell has been completed. There is 80,. 000 more property on the roll this year than last. The population ie about the same, 2,200. The Methodists are the largest denomination, 894 ; Presbyter- ians, 439; Church of Eugland, 088 ; Lutherans, 178 ; Catholios, 117 ; Sal- vation Army, 23 ; Baptiste, 17 ; Free Church, 12 ; no ohuroh, 17, and one man independent of any church. With stern deliberateness the law has already begun to prepare for the exean. tion of &.made Chattelle, the murderer of little Jessie Iieith. Strict secrecy is still maintained by the officials as to the do- ings of the condemned man, and the preparations for his execution. The hangman, it is understood. has already been engaged, however. Who the exe- cutioneris of course cannot be learned, but he is not unlikely to be the famous Radcliffe. Within the past week the weight that ie to jerk Chattelle into eternity has been oast at the foundry in oonnection with the Stratford Bridge Company's works on Erie street. The weight le 900 pounds heavy, and is of eolidiron, The moulders did not know big leas was for when the what the y made the casting, and a gruesome feel- ing steals over some of the more sensi- tive of them when they think what they have done. While these preparations for his death hese been proceeding Chat- telle maintains his air of stolid indiffer- ence: Sinoe the death sentence was pas. sed Upon him he has shown no sign that he realizes his position. He has no spiritual adviser. He spends hie time in idleness, eats heartily and sleeps well. The execution takes plaoe on Friday, May 31st. township,.

He abhorred anything in the :eliape of sham or deceit, and -bad no hesitation in openly denouuoing whatever he believed to be wrong. Strong fu his own movie - tions of right, he was not a man who could be swayed from the path of duty by anyspereuasion or impulse. For nine years be has beonReeve of the town, an office he held at the time of his death, In this position he especially enjoyed the oonfidence of the public. Even those who at times regarded him as unduly cautious and careful, knew that he could not be guilty of intentional wrong doing. Extravagant or improper use of public funds he would not tolerate for a mo - meat, and he was a most careful guardian of his publio trust. Unusually well in- formed in 'municipal affairs, possessing well-trained mental faculties and with ell the complex and intricate details of any public matters thoroughly at command, he was a mac of more than ordinary ao- oeptability at municipal gatherings, and so well was this known and appreciated that his opinion, much sought after, was almost invariably accepted without ques- tion. As a member of the County Coun- cil, be was simply invaluable, especially in regard to land assessment. Knpwing personally almost every farm on every ooaeession of the county, his valuation, when a member of the Equalization Committee, was accepted as authentic. A member also of the House of Refuge Committee, his best efforts were given to this question until the matter was parried to a suooeeeful issue, be realizing fully the benefits such an inttitutiou would be to the poor of the county. Mr, Mo:lfur- obie has for years been a member of Willis Presbyterian ohnrob, a trustee also, and one of the Board of Manage- ment, and so long ae his strength would allow, was a regular attendant on the services of the aural. Politically he was a staunch Liberal, and a few years ago was requested to allow his name to go before a Liberal Convention., but he positively deolined.

For. some time pant, in fact since 1882, he has been a sufferer from diabetes, and knowing that the ultimate result of this would be fatal, he hoe combatted the advance of disease with an iron will, passing through a course of self.imposed treatment that none but a person of in- domitable purpose could endure, and he had the great satisfaction of knowing that but for the hygienic course pursued, he would in all probability of long ago passed away.

From the Comber Herald. Stronghold is a post office corner about six miles from Comber. It was named after the highly respected and well known family of Strange. The neighborhood is a quiet one, being inhabited by a church- going, sober, industrious people. Among the people of that neighborhood none as better or more favorably known than Mr. Thos. Strang. Mr. Strang is a man of middle age and a bachelor. A few Boys ago he related to the Herald the story of his recovery from an illness which he be- lieves would have resulted fatally but for the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The origin of Mr. Strang's trouble was la grippe which developed into heart dis- laid for He 0 r months with every nerve in his frail body unstrung. He tried many medicines, but none seemed to materially benefit him. He would rally at times and endeavor to walk, but hie system being reduced and weakened he would frequently fall prostrate to the ground, and his friends had to carry him into the house. This terrible state of things lasted for months and all the while he was getting weaker, and even the most hopeful of his friends feared the worst. Mr. Strang was strongly urged to try the world renowned Dr, Williams' Pink Pills and consented to do so. A neighbor was dispatched to the Comber drug store for a supply. In a few days after beginning their use he began to im- prove. In a couple of weeks he wee able to walk around, and to -day Mr. Strang is rejoicing and telling the some old story that hundreds of others aro telling in this fair Dominion—the story of renewed strength through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. Strang le now a sound man. Quite frequently he walks to Comber, a distance of six miles, to attend church. He informed the Herald that he was only too glad to give his experi- ence so that suffering humanity may also reap the benefit and thus be released from the thraldom of disease and pain. To hie benefactors—for such they aro—Mr. Strang feels that he owes a debt of grati- tude, With him the days when beads of agouy stood on his brow have passed away, enable body has boon regenerated anew by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pine. 1/ 11U + , 1' ;0 ' Imported Clydesdale Stallion, AYRSHIRE STAMP, 11'battOnrill a clam, rltor1t1a103as, Will travel this eeasou ae follows 1— Tuesday,--Will leave his own stable, Erue. sole, and proeeed North bo 4th line, Gray, then Bast to Alex,.
