THE NEW FRANCHISE ACT One of the most important franchise measures since the Hearst Govern- ment extended the Provincial franch- ise to women, was introduced in the •leceise on Monday by Hon. F. C. ggs. Under the bill, which receiv- ed first reading, the Government re- . I cognizes the principle of partnership in a family in respect to freehold or leasehold municipal franchise rights. In other words, where the head of the family, either father or mother, owns property or is a tenant of property, all other members of the ferrate of age, whether sons or daugh- ters, will have equalifranchise rights. The law is an extension of the prin- ciple adopted by the former Govern- ment in giving the franchise to the sons of farmer § living est home, and the existing bill will be repealed to make way for the broader measure. The Government takes the position that the wife a the farmer, or the daughter working at home, has an equal interest in the Community with the son, and therefore should have the franchise. The same principle has --, been made to cover the urban family. The new law will work two ways, since it will also give the municipal franchise to the husband Where the property is held in the name of the f wife. At present the „husband only - votes if the wife .consents to the sur- render of her right. One effect of the change will be to tremendously increase the municipal voting lists, and this in turn will sim- plify the task of getting the lists ready for a Provincial election. One of the reasons why the former Gov- ernment resorted to enumeration was that the Provincial franchise was so much wider than the e municipal franchise. So iiiany names had to be added to the mtmicipal lists that • it appeared advisable to start at the beginning and make new lists. Under the bill introduced Monday, all mar- ried Women will be placed on. the municipal lists—providing the hus- band is now - qualified, ad many thousands of adult franchise voters who are living at. home. This will leave a comparatively small number to be added when a Provincial elec- tion comes along and the municipal lists are made the basis for those of the Province. • Another important change is made by the bill introduced byillon. Wal- ter Rollo, to reduce the qualifications required of candidates for municipal office. The measure declares the qualification of the candidates shall be only that of voters. The property qualification is to be eliminated, but a candidate must be a tenant of the municipality. Two minor election changes are a bill by Hon. Mr. Biggs to require persons nominated in villages and townships to qualify within thirty hours, otherwise their names wile not appear on the ballot paper; and a bill by Hon. Mr. Rollo to make twenty-five names sufficient endorse - ton of a nomination paper, EXETER . Death of Mrs: C. P. Harvey.—After an illness of several weeks, during which tinie life on numerous occas- ions hung by a slender thread, the spirit of Mrs. Chester P. Harvey took its flight on Sunday last. Mrs. Harvey had been suffering from typhoid fever and her case elicited much concern and anxiety from many friends. The case is particularly pa- thetic jfl that Mrs. Harvey had been a bride for only a year and 'besides herbereaved husband leaves a little daughter several weeks old. The sympathy of the whole community has been touched. Mrs. Harvey's maidee name was Ida Myrtle Moodie, being a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Moodie, of ^Usborne. She was born in Usborne township. With the exception of about two and one- -half years in Regina, where she train- ed for '‘e. nurse inethe Regina Hospital, her whole life has been spent in this comnumity. A year ago this month she was united in marriage to her bereaved husband. Together they spent six months in the West and then returned to town where Mr. - Harvey along with his brother open- ed up a grocery and confectionery store and they were jest nicely get- ting established in their new home and business, when Mrs. Harvey was taken ill. Two sisters also survive, Mrs. Stanley Coward, of Usborne, ancl Miss Margaret, at home. The funeral was held on Wednes- day afternoon from the home of Mr. Thomas Harvey on Andrew street, interment being made in the Exeter cemetery. —Elizabeth Chidley, widow of the late James Sheppard, of Clinton, died on Tuesday after a short illness of pneumonia. She had been a resident of Clinton for a great many years. She was a sister of the late Joseph and George Chidley and Mrs. Alcock and was twice married, her first husband being Mr. Johns. Mr. Shep- pard died ten years ago. She was an Anglican in religion, being a mem- ber of St. -Paul's church, but for some years had not been able to attend irrienrirnr••••• r) its servicesShe had, however, been in fairly good health for a woman of her age Until taken with her last illness. She was the lot member of her family. r GREY Fatal Accidea.—A 'sad drowning accident occurred here -Friday night about ten o'clock, James Sinclair of Grey township was returning home by the 12th concession and, his tes,nt plunged into a washout caused by the overflowing of the river. Sinclair and his team were both drowned, de- spite every effort to rescue them by nearby residents who heard his cries for help. amosialesimsomm MANLEY • Notes.—Mr. Fred Eckert attended the funeral of Mr.' joss& Dorshel last Monday at Kitchener, who died in his 84th year and was a former resident of this place.—Mitchell Brost. are busy sawing the large stoek of logs at their mill here.—Mr. P.

Troyer,- -Among the painful things which fall upon the person who, at times; is.ask- ed to verite an obituary are the hotices necessitated, as they occur of the deaths of individuals eminent or well known in those .fields towhich they are devoted. At times, however, the duty becomes doubly sad on aceeunt of close :and friencily sedationlong sustained with the decealed, -then in- deed We cannot lmit wish that fate had been less cruel and dlefiger spared these men. Particularly true, is this limp alp euteueouge Tel 2un3ak.ano of Mr. George E. Troyer, which took place at his home near Hills Green, Ont., on Monday morning, March Sth, at the age .of thirty-four years. He had been sick just one—week with influenza which developed into pneu- monia and. this proved too much for his rugged constitution. . In his .pass- ing, we his friends, feel that we have not only lose a firm personal friend, but the harness racing sport aneup- holder whose gooe works in its be- half were valued, dad cheerfully given and had been for a number of years. Only last. week we saw in these columns a reply by George to an in- quiry from the West, askingfor the breeding ofa certain horse. He was particularly well versed in pedigrees, there being no other in the County of Huron carrying the information: in this line. George liked good horses. He had several times brought from across the line horses that Can- ada was proud to see coming, -and it is to be regretted that now his pres- ent stable will shortly be sold, the head of his stock farm a splendid four year old trotter by Ortolan, Atworthy 32.073, which has as a colt been better than twenty, Mee McKinney this past season put in, the list and a beautiful three year old filly by Azoff, by Peter the Great. There is also such young stock and racing equip- ment which it will be very hard indeed to see dispersed. Our late friend was well known among the -horsemen of western Ontario, where he has been a successful driver for a num- ber ,of years. These will join in of- fering to his bereaved parents that eympathy that we their -closer friends feel and while this will not bring him back, yet they may thus be assured that his memory will long live among his many friends, particularly those who have enjoyed the warm hospital- ity of the Troyer home.—By R. T. Dunlop, in Canadian Sportsmae. _90_1 BAYFIELD Wedding.—The marriage of Miss Isabelle Parker to Mr. George Lang Reid was solemnized on Sat. Patrick's Day, Mareh 17th, in Bayfield by Rev. R. C. Pitts at the home of the bride's parents, and in the presence of the immediate relatives of both bride and groom. A pleasing feature of the ceremony was the fact that the sun, clouded over in the morning, shone brightly on the happy couple as they were declared man and wife. A delici- ous supper was serVed after the ser- vice. Miss Beulah Parker was brides- maid to her sister and Mr. Alfred Johnston ably acquitted himself as best man.

It is proposed to have the hall enlarged and placed on a cement foundation, with basement below and cement veneer. The cost to the peo- ple will be Eemere item.

Rob- inson and Coats, of Exeter, candected the sale with the best of satisfaction to both proprietor and buyer, and re- alized a total of $5,600.

He was imported by Hodkinsort and Tisdale, of Beaverton, and as a three year old won the stake prize at Regina fair in a class of 17. He- was then purchased by Mr. C. Keast, of Science Hill, for $1,800 and the same year won first at Mitchell in a strong class. • After using him for two years, Mr. Keast sold him to Messrs. Colquhoun and Burnside, of Mitchell, who travelled him on the same route for eight years, and from whom he was purchased by Mr. Berry. His stock are in high demand in the district from which he comes, a num- ber of them being shipped from St. Marys during the past winter by Mr. Mossip, the well known Perth horse - Man, who paid a range of $250 to $300 and $600. for one matched team of grays weighing 3,440 pounds. In- volucre will make a big addition to the stock horses in this district and we hope Mr. Berry. will have every success with him. - V-- • - DUBLIN e For Sale.—House and lot in Dublin.

Adults 15c, Children lec. Death of Mrs. Mary Yule. — Mrs. Mary Yule died of pneutnonia at the home of her son, Alex. Yule, 2516 Third Avenue south, Great Falls, Mentatla, Monday morning, March 1st, at five o'clock. In the death of Mrs. Yule another pioneer of Mon- tana passed away for she came to this part of the State while it, was practically unsettled. Mrs. Yule, who was born in Seaforth, Ontario, De- cember 8th,- 1845, was a daughter` of the late Peter Ramsay of Seaforth. She was married there in 1872 to Alex. Yule. Six years after the mar- riage the husband came to Montana to look over the possibilities in the new country, but it was not until four -years later, 1882, -that Mrs. Yule came to her new home up the Mis- souri River to Fort Benton. The trip was quite an eventful one, as on flie way up the steamer on which shewas travelling, the "Big Horn," was sunk at Poplar Point, and Mrs. Yule and the other passengers were compelled to carep there for three weeks until, another boat, the "Helena" came along. In these .days Poplar 'Point was in the midst of an Indian coun- try, there 'being about three thousand tepees in the. vicinity at that particu- lar time. There were a good many mutterings of Indian troubles just, then, and sthese thousands of Indians' .were looked on rather apprehensively by the, delayed travellers, inclu,ditig Mrs. ,Yule and three little children, but nothing serious happened. From Fort,Bentori Mrs. Yule went with her husband. to Summit stage station on the road to Barker, which was then a very lively rninning camp. From there the family moved in 1886 to near where Monarch now is and took up land, the Yule ranch being one of the olci time landmarkersa few miles- above Monarch on the road to Neihart, Practically ev-er since Mon- arch has been the home of Mrs. Yule,; although she lived for a short time Dupuyer and a short time in Great Falls. Besides her .husband, who has of late been making his headquarters at Prince Rupert, Brit- ish COlumbia, and who arrived in the city only shortly before the death. of .his wife, Mrs. Yule leaves six chil- dren and two sisters to mourn - her loss. These are: Mrs. Duncan Mc- Cowan, Alex. Yule, Jr., and Mrs. W. A. Spence, of this city; James, of Misspula; Miss Frances, at home with her mother at Monarch, and Mrs. T. Harvey Banks, of Everett, Washington. The two surviving sise ters are Mrs. R. R. Dennie, of Spangle, Washington, and Mrs. J. H. Carter, of Downey, California. Mrs. Yule was a woman widely esteemed ambng those with whom she came in contact, and for many years the Yule Tench on Belt Creek was looked upon by the people of that section as a place on which the welcome sign was always out and in which Mrs. Yule made hospitality seem oe pleasure.—From the "Great Falls Daily Tribune." • KIPPEN Attention Farmers.—Spring will soon be here again, get prepared.

The meeting was opened by the pastor, Rev. J. A.

Elders of Carmel church, read an address ex- pressive of the high appreciation in. which Miss Ellis was held and the sincere regret of all that she was so soon leaving us. After the address a very interesting programme was carried out including the following numbers, all of which were splendid- ly rendered: A quartette by Messrs. Milne Rennie, W. A. McLaren, Wm. Goodwin. and P. Buchanan; readings, by Mrs. M. Love, A' duett by Mr. Goodwin and Miss F. Weisel; -read- ing by Miss Ola Cook; a solo'by Miss Doreen Murdock, with Mrs. Milne Rennie presiding as pianist. At the close of the programme tempting re- freshments were served by the lades of the congregation and thus a very pleasant evening's entertainment was brought to a close. We might, how- ever, mention that in addition to the didmond ring presented by Mies Ola Cook in the name of the congregation and societies, Miss Ellis was also the recipient a a nice present from the "boys of her class in the form of fine silver spoons, the address, a very nice one, being read by Mr. Earl McEwen and the presentation made by John Dougall. Miss Ellis, while very much overcome by the beautiful presents and most kindly addresses, replied very feelingly, expressing" the plea- sure that it had always afforded her in connection with her work in the church and. societies and the teach- ing of her boy class, who had attend- ed so regularly and been so attentive as scholars, and the kindly rernem- brance that would always exist in her • mind in connection with her life and duties in. Hensall. The following is the address:—To Miss Mettle Ellis, Hensall, Ont.
