There must be lots of money in

More than two million dollars have
•thus far gone this fall to the owners
of fast horses. F. A. Ehret's stable
has wor hitn more than 4156,000,
while Marcus Daly's has nutted him
$116,360 and M. F. Dwyer's $114,-

go, the three year old Tammy has
brought its owner $72,000, and
Morello, the winner of the Futurity
race, has landed $52,000. As the
latter only cost its owner $100, he
may consider that the investment
was more profitable than that of
any bonanza mine.

DISEASE AT THE BACK DOOR. -
Yes, it is the nasty habit of pitch•
ing out of the back door a pailful
or a dipperful now and then of
.greasy water, and a handful of pair-
ings and the general waste of the
kitchen that breeds fevers and bili•
ous diseases. The waste disappears
for the most part in the soil, but
that is the key to the mischief.
The soil gets full after a time and
ferments, and the hot sou breeds
gases which surround and enter the
house. This is true not only of
the cheaper, poorer houses and care•
kdeD hrmilies, but well-to•do, intolli•
gent people who have spots behind
their houses saturated with slope.
Tn populous towns no amount of
supervision can prevent a great deal
of filthy evil, but in the country
towns, slops should be carried out
to treee and poured in small quan-
tities here and there, as. fertilizer.
Trees will take up a large quantity
of water and be grateful for it.
There must be simply constant in-
telligence in the disposal of waste,
and TDB NEWS -RECORD will have
more" to say about this important
subject at a later date.

HE FELL AND WAS MAIMED. -
Mr. G. Gilchrist, Rattei1bury street,
was fixing up bis premises for
winter and hanging storm doors the
other day. He found it necessary
to climb .a step ladder, placed on the
platform steps, in order to turn the
screws into. the upper hinge. This
act nearly cost him hie life. While
in an elevated position the ladder
slipped from off the wet boards awl
all came to mother earth. Mr.
Gilchrist's left log was severely
sprained• and right eye painfully
gouged. It bled very freely and
was soon closed. In a short time,
we are pleased to learn, the old
gentlemen will be hearty again, and
will neither lose limb nor eye.
ABOUT COUNTY PRINTING. -We
hear a great deal about county print-
ing. Some local papers are crying
out that the work is not delivered

performed and the material used is
a disgrace to the wealthy and pros-
perous County of Huron. THE

Are Amami) FAMILY. -Mr,, S. J.
Andrews has just received word of a
very severe affliction that has be-
fallen his brother William's family
in Scotland, South Dakota, former
residents of Londesboro and Clinton.
About three weeks ago Mrs. Andrews
and her sons Will and Herman were
taken ill'with typhoid .lover, caused,
it is thought, by drinking water from
an infected well. After getting
along fairly well, Herman, a boy of
thirteen, was taken with a violent
hemorrhage and died Saturday morn-
ing. He was the constant companr
ion of his mother, who as her son lay
dying, was seized with a chill which
resulted in her death twenty-four
hours from the time they buried her
youngest son. Willie Andrews, the
remaining member of the afflicted
family, died at 7 o'clock. Russel,
who had been in. Colorado, returned
in time to see his mother and Willie
before their death.
LOCAL PARLIMENT.
The town council met Monday
evening. There was a full Board,
and all were pleased indeed to have
Reeve Nanning with:them.
Relief was asked for the Auterson
family. The question arose as to
whether relief should some from
Hullett or Clinton, and the matter
was left in the hands of the Charity
Committee to report at next meeting
of council.
tS:.A-i3,4th�i ,1L�R"�.�'.�'�..i
common sense view of this matter.
For years '4 -the printing for the
County of Huron hasbeeu perform•
ed at less than cost. Some news-
papers that have countenanced this
style or means of doing business are
now crying for a halt. The halt
should heve been made years ago,
but it is not too late now. THE
News I xecnaD believes in the
principles of doing business honest
ly with all man, friend or foe. If a
man will continue to sell his goods
or wares -printing if you like -at
lase than cost for years he must
practice fraud in eome way to live.
A printing office cannot do work or
sell advertising space at a sacrifice
and live, any more than A business
man can sell his goods at leas than
cost -probably not as much so.
The County of Huron can well
afford to pay honest prices for
honest work performed. If
THE NEws-RECORD cannot get
enough out of it to pay for labor
and material and wear and tear the
work will never be performed in
this office. Offices that have and
are still doing the work at a loss, if
they work in general on that lice,
must go to the wall. Time works
all changes.

(HOUSE OF REFUGE.
Reeve Manning referred at length
to a House of Refuge for the county.
The most modern and pratical
ideas were that 25 to 40 acres would
be sufficient ground, with buildings
required from time to time. Rural,
town and village municipalities now
give various sums for indigent pur-
poses, and we have no suitable place
to house or care for the afflicted or
distressed. if the county Council
resolution is carried a vote will be
taken iu every municipality to as-
certain the opinion of the people.
A general convention should and no
doubt will be held to discuss both
sides of the douse of Refuge qnestion
and delegates must be sent to give
a voice whether for or against. A
great many municipalit;es are now in
favor of a County House of Refuge.
. I-Iuron is second in Ontario in wealth
and population, while counties less
favored have got what we want -a
House of refuge -
Deputy -Reeve Kennedy ---Members
of the County Council all admit when
the jail is officially visited that the
County requires a House of Refuge.
Mayor Doherty. -11 is our privi-
lege and our duty to place the mat-
ter before the electors. Would it
not be well for the papers to move 7
Deputy Reeve' Kennedy. -The
papers agitate strongly and say a
great deal every year.
Reeve Manning -The whole county
press is in favor of a House of Re-
fuge.
Manning -Kennedy -That the pro-
posed convention in favor of a House
of Refuge be invited to meet in Clin-
ton and that the town hall or council
chamber be offered free for that
purpose. -Carried.
It was understood that a. sum not
exceeding $20 would be grati'ted to
defray expenses Of local delegates.
Other municipalities will act in con-
junction and a general convention
will be held ere many weeks.

DEATH OF JAMES STAVELY.-"Jimmie"
Stavely is no more. He breathed hie
last at his boarding house, the Grand
Union hotel, on Monday morning, The
deceased had been ill siuoe his return
from the old country, several weeks ago,
as a resole of taking deck ocean passage.
The cause of death was stomach and
liver trouble. For over 40 years James
Stavely was well known in this section.
When young he came from Yorkehire,
Eng., to New York State, then to
Cbinguacouey, Peel, Ont., where he re-
mained four or five years. lie neber re-
ceived any education and worked hard.
About 1850 he came to Huron and after
settled on a farm, of about 200 acres,
hear Londesboro. He sold this property
some years ago for $4,000 and it is now
owned by Robert Scott. At this time
the deceased was supposed to have had a
few hundred dollars. He let the money
out, bought mortgagee, etc., and his
wealth accumulated rapidly. He still
owned"a farm in Colborne and held a
bap of mortgages ranging from a few
lundred dollars to over six thousand.
he deeeasod is said to leave in all about
0.00/, and died without a recent will.
About 20 years ago he made a will to a
half-brother, also deceased. As far as
we can learn this is the only bequest and
the relativee, if there are any, will
probably claim the fortnne. We believe
the deceased had distant relatives in
different parts of Michigan and New
York States. He was aged 74 years
and the funeral will take place to -day.

IMPROVEMENTS.
Coen. McKenzie wanted public
drain, a continuation of which passed
through his property, tiled and com•
pleted before the . Council paid the
$15 appropriated. This caused a
lively tilt in which Plummer,
Kennedy, Doan and Andrews took a
hand. The general expression seem-
ed to be that the Council could not
interfere with private property ; that
the member fer St. James' Ward had
the matter in his own hands, and
that the $15 should be paid as soon
as the town received benefit to that
amount.
Council then adjourned.
