The trip was made in a severe rain- storm over bad roads and the court did not sit until 7:30, although the confession was signed at 4.o'clock. Appears Quite Calm Appearing' quite calm and collect- ed. Mrs. Hastings did not seem to be affected by the seriousness of her position. Her chief worry appeared to be her two daughters, left alone at home, one twelve . years of age and the other seventeen. Mr. G. G. McPherson, Crown At- torney, stated he would nut put in any evidence, but would ask a re- mand fur a week until an inquest could be held, The confession was not prodeeted in court, but your correspondent was permitted to read it. it is a plain statement of guilt, :although the question of unbalanced mind is yet to be` considered. in the signed confession Mrs. Hastings states that her husband had been away frum her .for, ten years. During this time site had spent $400 deposited to their joint 'account and upon his i return he 'became most abusive to her. According to what can be learned here tonight Daniel Hastings was in his usual good health last Monday., During the evening he was taken suddenly, 111, a doctor was called, but before Ite arrived Hastings was dead. Apparently no foul play was sus- pected. The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon, the neighbors attending and paying the usual trib- utes to a respectable citizen. A Voluntary Confession To -day 'Mrs, Hastings, evidently conscience -smitten, went to Mitchell and in the presence, of pr, Murray and Constable Infraiii bbnfessed that at 9:30 Monday night she gave her h,ushanel two strychnine tablets. It is further stated that Mrs. Hast- ings said that fear of her husband had caused her to administer poison, the confession 'stating, it is said, that he had abused her. According to what Constable 11granc said here to- day the stateinent was -given quite voluntarily by the accused woman.! Residents of Dublin, Ontario, which is near the Hastings home, expressed great surprise tonight' at the turn of affairs. Some of them stated that the Hastings family had ale ys got along well together, and that the husband was a hard-work- ing carpenter. They could ascribe no other cause to Mrs. Hastings' ac- tion than that of an aberration of the mind. They ',even rdeulsed tto believe that murder had been done,. knowing of no motive. Two girls, about 17 and 12 years of age, com- prise the family. So far the entire affair is 'surrounded by a veil of mystery which is providing gossip for the entire countryside. Body to Be Exhumed 'Coroner Armstrong, of Mitchell, is ordering the body 'exhumed. A Cor- oner's jury is to be gathered to- morrow, but it is not known . as yet whether any evidence will be pre- seated at the first session.

There are few, complaints snore common than hemorrhoids, commonly oohed piles,' and scarcely any which cause more trouble and misery. Piles are divided into three clastosi i,e., itching, protruding and bleeding, and consist in a fullness of blood and languid circulation in the',portion of the lower bowel or rectum:• The chief causes of piles are con- stipation, s straining at stool, and . the uscug of drastic purgatives, .Chis latter we would vary strongly advise against as these strong pargatives, especially those containingcalomel and other mineral drugsaro 'too strong for the average person's bowels.
