FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1896.
Ttntso4Y of this weak was the centenary
anniversary of the death of Bobbiel3urns,
Scotland's groat poet, In various sections
the day was suitably observed by address-
es on the pout's life and work ; Scotch
concerts and the like.
SArunner Premier Laurier, Hon. lair,
Fisher and some of tbo other Ministers
will speak at St, Johns, Quebec, where
Hon. Mr. Tarte is seeking election. It is
announced that the formal declaration of
the Liberal policy, for which the Tupper.
ites have been clamoring ever since the
28rc1 of June, will be forthcoming on that
occasion.
Tar Halifax Chronicle speaks sensibly
when it says that "Li the High Commis.
sionersbip is to be of practical service to
Canada, it must be made something more
than an ornamental position to be utilized
by the occupant for entertaining and
posing among the aristocracy of London ;
and to that end it should be filled by a
man in the prime of life who will give
Canada value for the money expended.
There has been a vast waste of money in
the High Cotnmissionership heretofore.
Canada must have value for the mouey
spent in maintaining that office or the
office must go."
Tim following is worthy of note as it
requires no comment to make the lesson
apparent to every elector who desires
parity in the administration of public
affairs :—Before the general elections
Goodwin, the Soulanges canal contractor,
made a claim for some $250,000 for ex-
tras. As all the engineers decided against
the validity of the claim, the Auditor -
General, after consulting a former deputy -
Minister of Justice, refused to certify it.
Sir Hibbert Tupper, as Minister of Jus-
tice, though he had resigned office, advis-
ed the payment, but the Liberal Opposi-
tion compelled the Bowell Government
to pledge itself not to pay the claim with-
out first submitting it to the courts. Mr.
Goodwin reduced his claim to $75,000 on
making it before the court, and Mr.
Osler, prosecuting it, was awarded that
sum. Sir Oliver Mowat, now Minister
of Justice, after considering the case, has
ordered that it shall be appealed to the
Supreme Court. Contractors will, we
have good hope, find it much more diffi-
cult to get claims for extras paid than
they did under a government which or-
dered their payment on the understand-
ing that the contractors were to "divvy
up" with them, as in the case of the Mc-
Greevys and Connollys.
Jean 23nn, 1890, and its record on Do-
minion political affairs has been a bitter
dose for the Government of Sir Charles
Topper to swallow and they are very un-
willing to acknowledge the result. They
held ou to office as long as possible and
when Sir Charles and the Governor Gen-
eral had their little "tiff" over the whole-
sale appointment of friends by Sir Charles
to office, Hon, Wilfrid Laurier was sum-
moned to form a Cabinet; then the Cum.
berland War Horse revealed his hand in
a promise to fight the return of every
Cabinet Minister and also protest many
seats of Liberals, with a view of regaining
power by hook or by crook. Despite ell
this Mr. Laurier has gone along with his
work and will meet Parliament next
month and preside at the head of affairs.
Protesting elections is a role that both
parties can play at, and if North Ontario
is any guide, the remits will not tell ad-
versely to the Government. The electors
voted out the old party on their record of
the past 18 years and are now willing to
give Hon. Wilfrid Laurier the privilege of
putting into action the pledges made prior
to election day.

hid close to the pen, Shortly after con•

before Mrs. Schultz could interfere had
devoured it, The mystery was solved
and the calf was transferred to other

About 11 o'clock Friday morning as
Thos. Burrell, of Walkerton, with bis
son, aged about 11 years, was engaged in
-
cutting down a leaning tree, it unexpeot-
edly fell, instantly killing Durrell in its
fall, Deceased hall not calculated the
weight of the leaning tree, and with the
little boy was sawing the upright one,
thinking he would have time to eeoape
when the timber gave signs of coming
down, But the fall was so sudden that
he had only time to warn the boy, who
narrowly escaped. The tree crushed Mr.
Burroll'o face downward into the earth
and he died without a word or moan.
The son gave the alarm and Dr. Porter
was Boon or, the spot but life had gone.
Deceased was a highly respected citizen,
a Conservative in politics, and a member
of the church of England. He owned a
farm lying within the town corporation
and several houses and building lots.
He was twice married, was about 65
years of age, and leaves a widow and a
large family of children. Three of his
sons are in the Malted States, two laugh.
ters married in Manitoba, one in Paris,
Ont., and six children, the youngest
about 7 years old, at home. The re-
mains were interred in the Walkerton
cemetery on Saturday.

From the Arnprior Chronicle.
Perhaps there is no better known man
in Arnprior and vicinity than Mr. Martin
Brennan, who has resided in the town for
over a quarter of a century, and has tak-
en a foremost part in many a political
campaign in North Lanark. A reporter
of the Chronicle called at his residence
not long ago and was made at home at
once. During a general conversation Mr.
Brennan gave the particulars of a re-
markable cure in his family. He said :
"My daughter, Blamer Elisabeth, who is
now 14 years of age, was taken very ill
in the summer of 1892 with back trouble,
rheumatism and heart disease. She also
became terribly nervous and could not
sleep. We sent for a doctor and he gave
her medicine which seemed to help her
for a time, but she continued to lose in
flesh until she was terribly reduced.
When first taken ill she weighed 100
pounds, but became reduced to 60 pounds,
losing 40 pounds in the course of a few
months. For about two years she con•
tinued in this condition, her health in a
most delicate state, and wo had very lit-
tle hopes of her ever getting better. Our
hopes, what little we had, were entirely
shattered when she was taken with a
second attack, far more serious than the
first. This second attack took place two
years after the first. We now fully made
up our minds that she could not live,
"but while there is life there is hope,"
and seeing constantly in the newspapers
the wonderful cures affected by the use
of Dr. William's Pink Pills, we decided
to give them a trial. Before she had
finished the first box wo noticed that her
appetite was slightly improving, and by
the time she had need the second box a
decided improvement had taken place.
By the time she had used four boxes
more sho had regained her former weight
f ono hundred pounds and was as well
as ever she had been in her life. Iter
ack trouble, heart affection, rhauma•
ism and sleeplessness had all disappear -
d. She now enjoys the best of health,
ut still continues to talo an occasional
ill when she feels a little out of sorts,
nd so it passes away. Mrs. Brennan,
ogether with the young lady, who is au
only child, were present deriug sho re-
ital and all were loud in their praises of
r. Williams' Pink Pille, Mr. Brennan
iso elated that he had used the pills
itself and believed that there was no
ther medicine like them for building up
tvoakened system or driving away a
wearied feeling ; in fact he thought that
s a blood tonic they were away ahead of
11 other medicines,
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly
pon the blood and nerves, building them
a now and thus driving disease from tho
ystnm. Thorp is no trouble due to either
these causes which Pink Pills will not
urs, and in hundreds of cases they have
stored patients to health after all other
mediae had failed. Ask for Dr. Wfl-
amsPink Pills and take nothing else.
