COUNCIL OPPOSED TO RENTAL REBATES,
MAKES A GRANT OF $100 TO THE MAYOR
Wingliam council made history at
a regular meeting on Thursday even-
ing last, when it unanimously tedopt-
ed the pririipal of payment ef mem-
bers for services rendered according
to provisions of statute. Reeve Mce
Kibleon introduced the matter in a
motion to graqt the Mayor an honor.-
aritun of $100, stating that Mayor
Fells had sacrificed a great deal of
his time for the welfare of the tOwn,
and deserved some slight recognition.
Other ‘members of council acquiesed
in the motion, one suggestifig that all
members should be paid as in other
municipalities.
Councillor Diment received leave of
absence from aldermanic duties, as he
is out of town.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Watson ac-
knowledged the kind action of coen-
cil at the death of D. Watson, a mem-
ber of the council.
The Lions Club made a request for
a rebate of the license fee of $50.00
paid for the Cotton Midway, and it
evoked a little oppotition and some
discussion. The Club felt that as they
had expended the money in previding
playgrotmd equipment for the child-
ren, the council might show a sym-
pathetic attitude in the matter. May-
or Fells was opposed to. the request,
but after some discussion, it was a-
greed to make a 50% rebate. Council
were pretty unanimous that a stop be
made in matter of rebates for licuise
fees and rentals of town property.
This revenue is required to maintain
the properties, the venous fees being
set out in by-law, so why not observe
it? ,
, Council again protected itself le a
policy this time with the Canadian
General Assurance Company, at pee-
rnium of $160.00, against claims of all
kinds due to defective sidewalks, etc.
and play ground equipment. There
is a saying of $13.66 in this policy.
Finance committee recommended
payment of a number of certified ac-
counte.
Cemetery Committee reported new
well completed, with a satisfactory
flow of water at 282 feet, costing
$640. This is somewhate higher than
estimated, but sufficient water could
not be had at a higher level, Water
reaches within 30 feet of top of cas-
Property Committee reported the
weigh scales installed after necessary
repairs were made, and also it was
found necessary to place a. new sill.
Street Committee were authoriz-
ed to get sufficient oil to complete
the work of abating the dust nuisance
and to have same attended to as, soon
as possible.

OBITUARY
Mrs. W. C. Steen.
There passed peacefully away at
319 Winchester St, Winnipeg, on
Monday, July 22nd, Annie Irwin, be-
loved wife of William Steen, after
an illneis of several months, borne
with unusual patience. Mrs. Steen
was born near 'Toronto in 1858 and
when quite young moved with her
parents, thel.ate Mr. and Mrs. Them-
es Irwin, to con. 10, East Wawanosh,
where her girlhood days were spent.
Forty-six years ago she was married
to her now bereaved husband and to-
gether they bore the privations of
pioneer life at Carberry, Manitoba.
Ten years ago they retired and en-
joyed a well-earned rest until fail-
ing health necessitated Mrs, Steen's
residence in the city Where she could
receive better medical attention.
There she was tenderly cared for by
loving daughters until death relieved
her of her sufferings. Besides her
husband there are four sons and four
da.ughters left to mourn the loss of
a mother who was not only a blessing
to her family, but to the church and
conununity in which she resided so
long, The family are Irwin of Swan
River,' Man.; Gilbert and Milton on
the home farms at Carberry; Mrs.
Ada Rothwell, Mrs. W. Lambert,
Mrs, Jas. Lawson, Mrs. Astley Ey-
les and Dr. M. R. Steen, all of Wine
^
nipeg. • There are also three brothers
and two eisters, viz., R. W. Irevie of
Mecham; J. T. and- Ge R., Mrs.
Ruddy and Miss Sage Irwin ale of
East Wawanosh. To all the frhends
much symPathy is felt in tftei4- hour
of bereavement. A very farge con-
course of friends and neighbors•atten-
ded the funeral which was, held to
Carberry cemetery on Wednesday the
24th, the service being continued by
Rev. Mr. Crookshanks of 'Winnipeg,
a former pastor of the deceased, as-
sisted by the local Clergy.
' Until the day dawns
And the shadows flee away.
HARVEST IS ON
Hay in this section has turned out
a nroch better crop than usual, and
as a result stacks dot the landscape,
the ordinary barn space proving too
limited. Right on the heete of the
hay harvesting, came the fall wheat,
which promises a real good yield, and
farmers are busy housing it. Barley
is about ready, and scene fields of oats
show a little coloring. The latter
crop may not prove a bumper one, as
it suffered from drought ,e bit and a
fortnight of intensely warm weather
fathered hastened its maturity, with-
out, giving it lime to fill out. But
late rains and decidedly cool weather
wilt have a beneficial effect on the
latter crop. Speaking generally things
look particularly good in this section.
In no place, between Welchem and
Peterboro, do farm crops, show the
.tame progress or promise. Ali along
the line fall wheat looked good, aed
hay a heavy yield, but oats are short,
arid in some sections turning in col-
or before filling,

erts, and enjoyment to all who ad-
mire the dramaend pure levity, The

counts in some measure for the large

as this proved, expectations reported
last week were not realized, the ven-
ture showing e slight deficit, , about
one half the extent of last year's.
However, this did not affect the pub -
lie generally, lot some eighty people
signed the guarantee for Chautauqua
next year.
"Smilire Through"
Tuesday evening brought the big
gest crowd of the week to hear th
Martin Erwin 'layers in the dram
"Smilire Through." The play is a
that was prouesed; a very thrilling
touching story with love and hatred
misunderstanding and reconciliatiot
mirth and grief intermingling. Th
comradeship and quarrels of the tw
old men, friends of a lifetime, engage
at once the sympathies of the au
dience. The roles were all well sus
tained, but, naturally, the old friends,
and the bright young girl, Kathleen,
whose love for ,Xenneth Wayne was
the central theme of the story, were
most appealing.
It is pleasant to know that the Mar-
tia Erwin Company is Canadian; its
founder and head- is principal of the
Martin Erwin Salool of the Theat-
re in Winnipeg.: ;He was present on
Tuesday 'evening and took the role
of John .Carteret, Kathleen's uncle,
whose youthful dream of happiness
had been cruelly shattered and who
cherished for long years a consum-
ing desire vfor revenge, The touch
of mystery' and mysticism in the play
is in strong contrast to the healthy,
wbolesome :love story of Kathleen
and Kenneth Way4e with its humor
and its soeroey. riang-hter was fre-
quent during the play, and tears were
not far away.
Capt. Dancey
On Wednesday afternoon Capt,
Stanley N. Dancey gave his lecture
on "Canadianization," That, at any
rate, was his announced subject; but
Itis address could hardly be confined
within the definition of one word.
In fact, it demonstrated the profes-
sion by the speaker of a broad cath-
olicity of view that despised any
bounds of consistency or coherence.
The result may'have been some con-
fusion in the minds of hearers not
similarily endowed. For instance, it
was difficult to decide whether the
speaker wished us to regard Canad-
ians as the greatest people on earth
or as small potatoes and few to the
whether the immigrants who
have come to Canada from foreign
lands were industrious, clever people
whom we should be peoud to have
areong tis, or undesirables of a kind
who should be kept out or kicked out
if they had got ite The Captain lias
an ,eriviable fluency which does mute
for him; be covered a good deaf of
ground, and if sortee of 1tis ideas. did
not find favor with a portion oe'Ve-
inedience—foe instance, his reenarke

oday need is the comradeship (tf

TWO LIVES LOST IN MOTOR SMASH
THREE MEN INJURED IN ANOTHER
Last week -end was marred by two
rather serious motor smashes, in one
of which Robert Hopper and two
companions from Hanover were bad-
ly injured when their light roadster
left the road in Lower Town and
plunged over the embankment near4
the bridge. In the other accident,
Margaret O'Callaghan, of Detroit,
whose parents, Mr. and eirs. Daniel
O'Callaghan, reside near Fordyce,
died about twenty minutes 'after a
heavy Hudson coupe, driven by a man
named John O'Malley, of Detroit, left
the road about one and one-half miles
this side of Teeswater and came to
grief in an adjoining field. Mrs, Jam-
ieson, of 'Toronto, a. sister of Miss
Margaret O'Callaghan, received rath-
er bad enjuries, and was brought to
Wingham Hospital.
In the first accident, Hopper was
returning from Hanover, and brought
Gilbert Freeman, of Kitchener, and
Karl Gateman, ef Hanover, along, and
just after turning the corner at Low-
er Town, the car struck a rough spot,
and before the driver could regain
control it leftehe road, ripped through
a fence, and turned face about in the
depression about 8 feet below the
level of the road. The car which is
pretty badly wrecked, pinned one of
the occupants to the ground, all three
receiving rather serious ,injuries.
Hopper has three broken ribs and
some cuts from broken glass, while
Gateman has a broken shoulder -blade
and several gashes about the neck,
while Freeman received rather severe
internal injuries. All three are mak-
ing satisfactory progress.
In 'the other accident, O'Malley was
going towards Wingham up a slight
incline at a pretty good rate, when
he turned to pass a light can In a
tiossmoommot
flash the heavy coupe left the road,
knocking down a telephoile pole, and
landed in a field. Owing to the
break in telephone, connections a pass-
ing motorist drove on to Teeswater
for medical assistance, Dr. McCal-
lum starting at onee. He was unable
to give any relief to Miss Margaret
O'Callaghan, but gave necessary at-
tention to her sister, Mrs. Jamieson,
of Toronto, who later Was removed
to Wingearn Hospital, and who was
largely suffeeing from shock, and a
general shaking -up: O'Malley escaps
ed in some miraculous manner, and
was able to assist. Rev. Father Do-
gorski also arrived soon at the scene
of the accident, and administered the
rites of his church to the young lady,
whose tragic end is most deeply re-
gretted. She was but twenty-two
years of age, had xnuch to live for,
and was most popular with her ac-
quaintances. To the grief-stricken
parents, a verY deep measure of sym-
pathy goes out in their new sorrow,
for it is only a few years since one
of their boys paid the supreme sacri-
fice for his country's sake.
Besides her parents, Margaret is
survived by three sisters, Mrs. Jam-
ieson and Madeline of Toronto, Mrs.
Monohan of Detroit, and three bro-
thers, Joseph of Detroit, William of
Toronto, and Frank at home. just a
week previously on July 28th, the Oe
Callahan family held a happy family
reunion all the family being present,
so that this tragic event evidences' the
uncertainty of life, and how little we
know what the future holds.
An inquest opened Tuesday morn-
ing in Teeswater at the request of
crown authorities.
Mrs. Jamieson passed away Tues-
day evening.

gree of repitition itt Niel!' songs is ac-
couhted for by the years of ignorance
whee, as slaves, theyhad no means
ot education, or opportunities of en-
larging their vocabulary.
'In the afternoon' the singers gave
such melodies as "The Lord Has Led
His Heeds on Me," "My Lord's Writ-
ing All the Tema," and a fine bass
solo, "Beware," The small boy, Van
Osborne, recited,, darieed and sang.
His mimicry and fun were enjoyed
by everybody but proved irrresistibly
attra,ctive to the boys and girls. The
evening program was given in two
part. The first part was a planta-
tion .scene with the group of negroes
picking cotton and singing, or croon-
ing, some of their plaintive songs.
Sometimes their feelings brightened
and they broke into more cheerful
songs accompanied by dancing. To
this part of the program belonged
such songs as "Old Kentucky Home"
"I want to 13e Ready," and "Climb-
ing to the Sky." In the second part
more of their spirituelles were Sting,
and there were solos, duets, quartettes
and piano numbers, with an exhible
tion of dancing by the small boy
that "brought down the house." Al-
together it was a most enjoyable pro.
gram, and the great crowd that filled
the tent, malty standing, seined re-
luctant to let the singers conclude.
