Brothers Drown.
LONDON, June 28. -Wilson Nickles,
aged nine years, and his younger bro-
ther, Alfred, seven years old, were
both drowned while bathing under
the street railway bridge at the foot
of Dundas street, in the River Thames,
here yesterday afternoon atthree
o'clock. The double tragedy was wit-
nessed by the lads' four-year-old bro-
ther, Ernest, and transpired only 30
feet away from a boat in which two
ladies were fishing, and, as the boys
made no call for help, their predica-
ment was- unknown to the occupants
of the boat, who might have saved
them.
The little brother gave the alarm,
and when the police and firemen ar-
rived on the scene they dragged the
river for half an hour before the bo -
fes, lying in five feet of water and
about ten feet apart, were finally lo-
cated. Efforts at resuscitation failed,
although several physicians worked
over the Lads for some hours.
Sweltered at Galt.

hottest of the season, the mercury
at the postofflee being 95 in the shade.
In several large founderies and roach-

Several cases of prostration were re
Ported. Rain has not fallen for a
week and the previously promising
strawberry crop of the neighborhood
yields next to nothing.

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTORIA
TO RAISE LAKE ERIE.
Waterways Boards Favors Dam to
Deepen the Water.
WASHINGTON, June 28.—After
more than ten years investigation the
International Waterways Commission
yesterday, through the president, re-
commended to .Congress the construc-
tion of a submerged daft or weir in
the Niagara River, to raise the level
of Lake Erie and its upper waters.
The commission stated the value of
the proposed work to Lake Erie ports
could hardly be estimated, and that
it would result in extensive improve-
ments to harbors and docks.
Several years ago the a ammission
reported against the advisability of
constructing an ordinary dam across
the Niagara, because of the conse-
quent damage to property below the
dam. This dam would have complete-
ly regulated the height of the waters
in Lake Erie, but the latest plan con-
templates only partial control.
The cost of the weir and consequent
works to avoid damage to property is
estimated at $3,500,000,
WAS TROUBLED WiTH
SOUR STOMACH
AND BILIOUSNESS.
Soar Stomach and Biliousness are
caused by a sluggish Liver, for when it is
not working properly, it holds back the
.bile, which is so essential to promote the
movement of the bowels, and the bile
gets into the blood instead of passing
through the usual channel, thus causing
many stomach and bowel trou bles.
"There is only one way to prevent the
liver from becoming mmg up -set, and that is
by the use of MILBURN'S LAXA-LIVZR
Paas.
Miss Julia Lang, Yarko, Sask„ writes:
—"nor several years I was troubled
with sourstomach and bilioustzess, and
did not get any relief until I used Mu,
Bvax's LAXA-Lp/Mt PI,t,s. 5 had only

The price of Mn,brrxrr's LAxs-Lrvr,a

As an inducement to possible eau

Justice be advertised, as a health re.
sort. The death rate throughout the
continent only averages about ten per
thousand. The number of deaths last
year, for instance, was 47,869, against
122,193 births, The Government of

COLLINGWOOD, June 28.—"That
this jury after hearing the evidence
produced are of the opinion that the
young boy, James Dalbeck, did not
fire the shot that killed his mother,
Ida Calbeek. We are of the opinion,
however, that the evidence of James
Calbeek, sr., and James Calbeek, jr., is
very unsatisfactory and conflicting
'and our verdict is that the deceased
came by her death from a bullet from
the rifle in the hands of some person
inside the horse; but there i$ not suf-
fic.ent evidence to sz ow who fired the
:shot,"
After being out for an hour, Coroner
McFaul's jury late yesterday afternoon
returned the foregoing verdict.
Chief McLachlan, when asked if an
arrest would promptly follow, replied
that the police would continue their
ire estigation and Beek to place the re-
sprnsibility more clearly than they did
to the Bury. "You may go home,"
said the chief to the Calbecke, father
ant son, who had been kept close at
hand, awaiting the verdict, and with-
out a word they got up and went out.
, At the inquest yesterday further evi-
dence was given as to the behavior of
the Calbecks when neighbors entered
the house after the shooting. It was
testified that James Calbeek, sr., show-
ed great agitation, and that he re-

hand in the affair,

"Was he making a lot of noise?"
"Yes, a lot of it,"
"Was he crying%"
"I wouldn't say he was crying; be
was doing a lot of hollering; but I
didn't see any tears,"
"Did you try to console him?"
"Yes; then he began to tell me how
it happened, and he said the child
had the toothache, and the mother got
up with hint and gave the boy the
gnu. She must have seen it was load-
ed, He said, `Whoever shot her. it
wasn't me.' He said he didn't know
,who shot her."
"Had you accused him of doing the
,shooting?"
No, Calbeek said she had been
trying to paoify the child, and there
:were shells and things on the table,
and he says she must have put in a
good shell instead of a blank in the
,gun. He said he heard a shot, and
when the went to the kitchen the wo-
man was lying on the floor, and he
was sitting in a chair with the gun."

"Who did he mean by 'He'?"
"He didn't say whether it was his
son or grandson, but it looked to me
as though he meant his son."

lering and screaming. "He went to
