LIGHTNING DAMAGE
The heavy electrical storm on Mon-
-day night and .early. Tuesday morning
did considerabledamage to the: stand-
ing croPlOinAleisadiailletWeee.
litany fields of oats were almost
-completely flattened, and scarcely a
field of grain escaped some measure
of damage, but although lodged, .the
grain was not threshed or beaten in-
to the ground. .
. it will, however, add materially to
the labor of cutting and liarvesting,
and„harvesting is a long' way from
-being completed as yet.
There was heavy thunder and sharp
lightning, but fortunately there is no
report of any serious damage by
lightning, although a number of hydro
and other poles were struck north
of the town, and will cause some in-
couvenience before they are replaced.

Two Huron Ridings Among
11 Seats Captured By
Conservatives in. Western
Ontario.
SEVEN CABINET
MINISTERS DEFEATED
Western Ontario, added materially
to the defeat of the Niton Liberal
Government on Wednesday, when
14 seats, including the two Huron rid-
ings,1'were captured by the Progres-
s•iye ronservative party.
'Premier Nixon was re-elected in, his
home riding of Brant, which he his
represented in the Legislature since
1909, by a large majority, but only'
three .others of his cabinet ,ware' re-
turned with brim, Hon. Farquhar Oliv-
er, Minister of Works; Hen. :Robert
Laurier, Minister of Mines, and Pro-
vincial Treasurer Gordon. Seven cab-
inet members suffered defeat.
The first candidate to be reported
elected in the Province was Ex -Pre-.
Mier Mitchell F. Hephurn, who ran as
an Independent Liberal in Elgin, faau.n-
ty, but he failed to pile up the im-
pressive majorities that were accord-
ed him in previous elections.
One of the chief, surprises of the
eleetion was the strength of thee C.
C.F., 'who were without a member in.
the last Legislature, but who were
successful in capturing 33 seats on
Wednesday. 'Their main strength
came from theecities and industrial
centres; , but their candidates -hi a
number !Of' enfal ridings :turned the,
reiblreIrVietbiY:ConsetiratiV6 Party:
Unfortunately for tha.people of the
Province, the election on Wednesday
did not result in a clear majority for
any party in the Legislature, which
Means a stalemate, and there will
either lave to be a coalition of two
of the parties, in order to have a
'majority to carry on, or there will
have to be another election in the
immediate future.
