TEE ONTARIO LEGISLATURE.
Women are to have the vote he On-
tario. Premier Sir William Hearst on
Tuesday announced the determination
of the Ontario Government to make
Woman Suffrage an accomplished
fact in the province -to give women
a voice in the management and con-
trol not only of municipal affairs, but
the large questions of Provincial Gov-
ernment. The legislation that will
reward the women of the province
for thirty or forty years of constant
striving for suffrage extension, and
incidentally double the electdrate of
Ontario, is to go upon the statute
hooka as a Giovernment measure. The
Government measure will put Ontario
women on a paritY ra
with men in un-
icipal elections. It grants to the
women of Ontario Womanhood Fran-
chise correspooding to the present
Manhood Franchise, all women of the
full age of 21 years who are British
subjects and who have resided in the
province for the requisite period be-
ing entitled to vote. Machinery will
be devised so that the tarries of wo-
men will be placed on the voter's list
in time to permit of them exercising
their franchise at the rent provincial
elections.
It would appear according to the
Public Accounts recently laid efore
the Legislature, that the burden on
the country of maintaining a Govern-
ment House, the official residence a
the Lieut. Governor was not to end
with the construction of the new pal-
ace hoisted on the province by the
Conservative Government. Although
its construction alone, cost in the
neighborhood of two million dollars,
it looks as if this amount would be
surpassed before many years by its
up -keep. The public accounts show
that 706 tons of coals were purchased
for this inseitution during the past
year. Other interesting Stems ',for
repeirs and maintenance are: Garment
eods and coat Imogene, $137.77; relish
jarindishes,ete., 259.85; carpet sweep-
ers, paper and soap, $59.12; kitchen
utensils,. $560.55; fire guards, grate
blowers, pokers, ete., $337.50; repairs
to and supplies for billiard table $175.-
66; for cartage of ashes, $179.,Anoth-
er cartage item was $348.06. Aping

THE WAR SITUATION. 1
Events of greet Moment have been
occurring on the Western front during
the past week. On Friday night, under
cover of. a dense fog, the Germans
commenced a retirement along a front
of elever$ miles that has proven the
greatest enemy etreat since the Bat-
tle of the Marne. Defences that hlrire
taken their' three years to build have
been blown up or burned, whole vil-
rages, and line after line of trenches
to a depth of nearly three miles have
t ee nevacuated by the enemy,guris that
were too cumbersome to move swiftly
have been spiked and ammunition
dumps were exploded and destroyed.
, The retreat was a great surprise to
the British, as the dense weather had
prohibited any scouting by aeroplanes
for some days and it was not until tie
British scouting parties found empty
trenches or at best a few Germans,
who had been left behind to make all
the noise possible, so as to deceive
he Arno's, that the general retreat
was diecovered. Since then the British
have been following up fast on the
Germans' heels, but the retreat has
not halted, and very little fight has
Leen shown by the enemy. How iong
this will continue of course is not
hnown, but is is not expected that the.
Germans will halt until they reach the
pew positions they have been fortifying
for some weeks, and which they hope
to hold against the Allies' spring of-
fensive. The new positions taken by
the enemy, 'however, have not yet be-
come ftxed, and it goes without saying
that Britain will do everything in her
power to prevent her again digging
and cementing herself in. The new
7etreat was in no manner a route ,but
evidence of new German tactics,, with
the object of shortening and strength-
ening her lines andconserving her man
power, and it Will likely take- some
tali fighting to dislodge them from the
positions on which they are now fail-
ngent a great thrill through the whole
iback- The retreat, however, has

THE NEW BRUNSWICK
ELECTIONS
By carrying all four seats in the
deferred elections in Gloucester, on
Monday by heavy majorities, the Lib-
eral Opposition comes into power in
New Brunswick with a clear lead of
six seats in the Legislature out of 48
seats. The Opposition has 27, leav-
ing the Government 21, as compared
with two seats for the Opposition and
46 for the Conservative Government
in the last House. The Opposition
has won 10 of the 17 ridings in the
province, splitting in another, and
has a large majority of the popular
vote. In not one of the 17 ridings did
the Government naake gains: .
A large vote was polled in Glouces-
ter, and while the returns are not
complete, owing to the difficulty in
gathering the figures in Shippegan,
Miscou and other islands offthe coast
it would seem that the • Government
candidates b rely. saved their depoidt4-
The Caraquets went three to one for
the Opposition, while in West Bath-
urst, where the leader of the Govern-
ment ticket, J. Bennett HacheY, who
is also the Conservative Federal can-
didate in Gloucester, lives, the Oppo-
sition has a large majority.

, Death of Mrs. McFarlane.. - On
Monday afternoon last our viilagers
, learned with much regret of the death
of Mrs. Isabella McGowan, relict of
the late MU . John McFarlane. A few
days previous to her death Mrs. Mc-
Farlane had suffered from a paralytic
. stroke, but up to that time she had
been in her accustomed good health
for one in her 73rd year, in fact a
few hours previous to the stroke she
had been out removing some snow
from the front, and her attack was
not known for some hours after she
received it, as living alone there was
no one to make it known. Her con_
• ditilm Was.. fortunately discovered by
' some neighbors who went to the house
and who quickly obtained, medical
as-
sistance, but she did not rally to any
. extent, and passed a y on Monday
last despite trained nirsing and good
medical attention. The deceased was
a native of Scotland and lived a very
quiet and retiring life, but was very
highly respected by all who enjoyed
her acquaintance. The service was
conducted at her late home on Wednes-
daylast by her pastor, Rev. Mr.
Smith, who bore testimony to her
many excellent qualities and quiet re-
tiring and kindly disposition. The
remains were interred in the Hensel?.

London, with Mrs. C. Hoggarth, nee
Miss Vera Murdock as pianist. This
entertainment proved one of the best
ever put on bp our local talent and
certainly did credit to one and all tak-
ing part in it and was enjoyed from
start to finish and held the rapt atten-
tion of an audience which filled every
seat in the spacious hall and many
, were unable to secure a seat. So
I largely was this the case that it was

ning amounted to over $175. Mr. A.

always taken a very lively interest in
Red Gross and Patriotic work, very
ably fillled the duties of chairman, and
i in addition to the cast of characters
in. the 'comedy, the audience were
treated to a solo by Mrs McGuire, an
instrumental by Miss' F. Foss, and a

Union Stock Yards, Toronto, Feb. 27
-There was an active to stronger
market for a moderate offering for a
Monday. Real choice butcher cattle
were a shade higher, if anything at
ell, but the values for medium to good
quality killers firmed 10 to 15c. Buy-
ers were keen on anything with finish
and the best cattle among the run
were sent over the scales early. Corn -
mon grade killers, which were only a
Moderate trade, held to last Thurs-
day's values. A fair number of the
loads of butchers sold today cashed
ID from $10 to $10.65, while loads of
steers sold at $11, $11.20 and $11.25.
Best fat cows and butcher bulls,
which have been affected least of all
by recent fluctuations, were a good
steady trade, best cows selling up to
$9.25 and $9.50, and the pick of the
bulls around ten cents. The top price
paid this morning for a load of choke
steers was $11.25, which• Dunn and
Levack received for 17 head averag-
ing 1,400 pounda each, and which
were shipped in by- P. J. Henry of
Ridgetown. Stockers and feeders were
only a light demand. Good stockers av-
eraging from 700 to 800 pounds sold
from $8.25 to $8.50. Milkers and
springers were slow, what little re-
quest there was being foe fair quality
cows. Sheep and lambs were steady,
with the quality of lambs under re-
cent average, but calves fell off in
price. Common to medium calves de-
clined up to $1 anci choice veals to
25c. Hogs, a moderate offering, sold
at last week's prices, $15.00 fed and
watered, and $15.25 weighed off cars.
Buyers did not give out new quotations
for this week, and the probability is
that values will remain unchanged for
the rest of the week. Two packing
houses received fair sized shipments
direct during the -week end. The re-
ceipts were 131 cars, with 1849 cat-
tle, 193 calves, 2,602 hegs and 153
sheep and lambs.
