WAS VERY ILL A YEAR AGO Provinciai Treasurer Never Recovered From Serious Attack of Heart Trou- ble -Was at Work In His Office on Friday Night- Served as Member for South Lanark For FiVe Terms - A'66 Veteran. "TORONTO, Jan, 27. -Hon. Arthur James Matheson, Provincial Treasur- er, died suddenly at his her= in Perth, One, at 11 o'clock Saturday night. In the death of 001. Matheson, Ontario loses one of its oldest public men. Since 1894 he had represented South Lanark in the Ontario Legis- lature, egislatu e, and during the reign of the Whitney Government, since 1905, he was Provincial Treasurer. His death Was entirely unexpected, although he had been suffering from heart trouble for a number of years. He worked in his office at the Parliament Buildings until last Friday night. He left for his home town, Perth, !en Saturday morning. Several hours after his ar- rival he was stricken and died at 11 o'clock. Col. Matheson had never fully re- covered from his illness of a year ago. Just prior to the opening of the Legit- lature last year he was taken i11 at the Parliament Buildings, and was conveyed to the Western Hospital. He was confined there for several weeks, and at times his condition was such that it was feared that he could not recover. However, he rallied, and be- fore the Close of the session, he was HON. A. J. 14IATIIESON. 'able to resume his duties as Provin- cial Treasurer. , Col. Matheson was born in Perth, Ont„ in Dec. 8, 1842, and was a son of the late Hon. and Mrs. Roderick S, Matheson. Hisfather was a Senator �. for a number of years. Col. Matheson was educated at Upper Canada Col- lege' and Trinity University, Toronto, from which he graduated a bachelor of arts in 1805. Five yearn later he was called to the bar and had for a number of years subsequent practiced law in Perth. He served several years in the council of Perth and in 18:3 he was elected mayor, 'which office he held for a long period. He ivae up to ads death a member of the council of •Trinity College. Col. Matheson came from a family of fighting stock, both military and 'politically. His father was lieutenant and paymaster irrthe Glengarry Light Infantry in the war of 1812. The late Provincial Treasurer, himself, took a first-class certificate in the military school and served in the' Fenian Raid ,in 1866 on the St. Lawrence frontier. He wasgazetted a captain in 1881, and major in 1885, and in 1866, after having volunteered with his corps for service in the Northwest Rebellion, he was promoted to lieutenant -colonel, Commanding the 42nd Regiment until 1898. Two years later he was appoint- ed a brigadier at the volunteer militia. He was a staunch Conservative and was never defeated in an election, He was returned to Parliament five times as a representative of South Lanark. During the years of Opposition of the ,Conservative party he was one of the keenest debater's on their side of the :House, particularly in matters of fin- ance, to which he showed a special 'aptitude. He was a well-known public man throughout the province, and ap- peared on various platforms in aid of his Conservative colleagues. When the party, tinder the control of Sir James Whitney, came into power in 1.905, he was taken into the Cabinet and given the portfolio of Treasurer. He never -married, but lived with two sisters and a brother in the towi2. 9yL Perth until • appointed Provincial • •Treasuter•'irite ea -.he made his home in the �u"eteei VOW: lie made fre- eluent-vlsiis' to his constituency.

Weak, lame or aching back comes frons the kidneys, and when the kidneys are out of order the whole system becomes deranged, Doan's Kidney Pills go right to the seat of the trouble, and make their action regular and natural. Miss Mary Daley, Penfield Ridge; N.B., writes: -"I' now take great plea- sure in expressing myself for the benefit 3 have obtained from your wonderful medicine, D,oan's Kidney Pills. ' Having been a sufferer with kidney trouble for the last ten years, and haying spent hun- dreds of dollars in the so-called `Quack' cures, from which I, derived no benefit whatever, and after having been advised to try Doan's Kidney Pille, I at once purchased it box and. from the first ob- tained relief, and after having taken five boxes am now completely cured." Doan's Kidney Pills are 50 cents per box, or three boxes for $1.25, at all dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of price by'lThe T.

W. S, R, 411OLMk S, DRUGGIST CLINTON. ONT. Ottawa, Jan. 28. -The year's work in the Canadian Militia is re- viewed in the annual 'report of the Militia Council presented by. Col. Hughes. The one ' object sought, says the report, was preparedness for' war, the ;power to mobilise at short': notice a force of adequate strength, well-trained and fully equipped, In the scheme of de- fence a few readjustments have been made, but no important changes introduced. • General Otter .makes some pertin- ent observations, - 'The main obstacles to our effi- ciency,' he remarks, 'present them- selves in two forms p- lack of money on the one hand and the profusion of it in the form of suc- cessful enterprises on the other. The former, militating against the provision of armories and equip- ment, rifle ranges and training, grounds, and so placing obstacles in the prosecution of effective training in its full significance ; the latter prevents individuals from sparing the time necessary to fit themselves for the militia duties they have assumed.' General Otter goes on to say that not enough serious thought is giv- en to neglect of preparation for de- fence. Is it not imperative, he asks; that we possess a military force adequate to bear the •first brunt of conflict or in any event cause the invader to stop and think on the threshold. He expresses the behief that the plaudits for church or ceremonial parades may have lulled us into the belief that we are fit and capable for any in- vasion and that we are encourag- ing a rude awakening and irrepar- able loss some day. Respecting mobilization, the re- port claims that the general scheme is assuming definite shape. It depends for its success on de- centralization, Division com- manders will be given as free a hand as possible and not required to adopt a uniform system. The peace strength of the militia come pared to war establishment is re- latively low, An inter -departmental commit- tee, composed of the director of naval service, chief of the general staff, and general staff officer for mobilization, has been formed. Seventeen officers •took instruc- tional courses in England during the year: The report deals at GENERAL W. W. OTTER. length with the instructional schools of the militia in Canada, which. is the last fiscal year grant- ed certificates, to 1,724 officers. In the year forty officers were ap- pointed to the permanent staff. • The permanent force now tom- prises 3,118 men of which 202 are officers, The largest number, 1201, are at Halifax, Quebec coming second with 404, Toronto with 345, and Kingston with 314. The year's expenditure under votes was $7,- 558,28.4, and by statute $21,600. This was an increase of $791,947. A total. of 38,994 men received of fieiency pay aggregating $17.4,053.
