LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
We do r,ot hold ourselves reeponsfble for utterances

head,—Ed YEWS•RIECORD.
Speaking the Truth.
To the Editor of ?he News -Record.
In view of the letters recently ap-
pearing in the Huron Expositor. sign-
ed "Conservative from Stanley" I
would, with your permission, beg to
suggest that Mr. Torrance be request-
ed to call a convention and bring out,
that Stanley Conservative of Kippen
as the standard bearer in the coming
election.
It is a well knewn fact he is contin-
ually out of a job and this would per-
haps keep him employed getting letters
written for the Expositor setting forth
the reasons why he should he elected,
as no doubt he will be by a large maj-
ority on account of his eminent quail -
flea tions.
uailflcations.
His sonorous voice and choice ex-
pressions of profanity could be heard
over a ton acre field with half -a -dozen
threshing machines running full blast
at the same time, while at other times
when spiritually (?) loaded is possessed
of very superior fighting qualities, so
very essential in a candidate during a
political campaign.
Taking into consideration his full
flexible voice, his command of choice
language, his fighting propensities, his
quarrelsomeness and his faculty for
getting written—for he could not do it
himself—scurrilous letters which no
other paper in the riding would pub-
lish, I am of the opinion that he would
be an extremely popular and suit-
able candidate.
In addition to all the above qualifica-
tions he is very loyal(!) to his party as
well. This is the same man who a few
years ago refused to vote the party
ticket and did so only after getting a
petty appointment. Very loyal that I
This is the same individual who
carne here to the nomination a few
years ago with the sole and only object
of nominating aReforni'er to knock out
this Mr. Torrance whom he now pro-
fesses to admire so verymuch. He -
did not succeed, as he filed after re
pealed trials to get even a seconder to
his loyal motion and then returned
home cursing --and denouncing Mr.
Torrance and his friends as an infernal
Irisks Tory clique. Good Tory that,
surely 1
This is the same man who now gets
those contemptible letters written to
the Expositor all because he hears a
personal grudge to Mr. Weismiller,
doing his best to make it appear as a
political matter and cautioning the
Conservatives of Stanley and elsewhere
not to vote for their party, but to seek
his counsel and advice.
I notice too that Mr. McLean denies
any and all knowledge of these letters
and would fain have the public believe
hire to be entirely innocent of complic-
ity, but what, I would ask, did Mr. Mc-
Lean and this loud mouthed Conserva-
tive whose initials are identical with
those of the words Blood Bitters, do,
when closeted together for an hour or
more recently in the back room of the
hotel? Whet was concocted there? Let
them explain. The denial will, be taken
at its value, and the other fellow's
loyalty will never be questioned.
I am glad to think that Mr. Weismill
er does not even 'deem these attacks
worthy of reply and I must say he is
perfectly right in ignoring and treat-
ing with contempt any and all such
attacks made by cowards who are afraid
to tome out over their own signatures.
Yours trelyy,

HE DIES .Ilion A HERO.—The
Virden, Manitoba Chronicle thus refers
to a soli of a former resident of Bay-
field :
The saddest event that has ever
happened in the history of Virden -
occurred last Saturday afternoon, re-
sulting in the removal from our midst
of a bright and promising young life.
The grim messenger has, during the
past few nronthh, made frequent calls
in our midst, but none were made with
such stunning suddenness as was that
on Saturday. But the touching cir-
cumstances, accompanying it, make the
death of brave little Willie J. Huston
peculiarly sad. Some children were
playing on the railroad bridge, just
north of the town,. when suddenly one
of their number, a little girl of about
4 years of age slipped down and fell
into a pool of water, some 10 or 12 feet
below. Willie a bright, joyous Iittle
fellow of some twelve years, who with
his younger brother and little sister
was near by busy hunting out gophers,
saw the little girl fall and immediately
ran to its assistance. Just, along the
side of the pond where the little one
fell in, a large snow bank slopes rather
precipitously down to the water.
illie ventured on the snow bank
right down to the water's edge in order
to reach the girl. Unfortunately the
snow was not firm, it leaving been
undermined by the water, so that a
large portion of the hank was over-
hanging the pond. The boy's weight
caused a large block to break off and
fall. down. Ile was thus suddenly
plunged into some eight or nine feet of
ice cold water. He however managed
to reach the girl, and with marvellous
presence of mind turned her over won
her back, so that her face world not be
under water ,and pushed her in to-
wards the shore. It is supposed that
the intense cold of the water must have
so chilled and Dumbed him as to pre-
vent him from doing anything more
to assist the little girl, for, although he
could swim • well, he immediately
after. that sunk. He rose once and
cried out to his little sister "Oh Minnin,
save me if you can, I am going." He
sank once more and did not risk again.
. There were several little children
standing by who witnessed the oc-
currence. As soon as they saw that
Willie had sunk to rise no more they
hurried up to town and told of what
happened. Mr. Robert Best was one
of the first persons to reach the spot,
and he immediately dragged out the
little girl whom he found still floating,
but in an unconscious position. The
boy was out of sight. Soon a large
number of people arrived. A plucky
attempt was at first made by Dr.
Young to reach the body by diving,
but without success. The Water was
too cold to permit of any hope of re-
covering the body in that way. It was
after sometime recovered by means of
a hook belonging to the fire brigade.
Tire little girl was subsequently re-
stored to consciousness by means of
restoratives, but in the case of the boy,
although very vigorous efforts were
made to resuscitate him, it was found
that life was extinct. The boy's forti-
tude in so bravely and promptly re-
cognizing his -duty, going to the rescue
of a helpless infant, and putting forth
his efforts to save its life, is deserving
of the highest enconiums. It places
him on a level with those who have
made their names illustrious by deeds
of heroism and bravery. What more
could be said of the little hero of
Haarlem than can be of brave Willie
Huston? No matter how feeble the
dead boy's effort, it certainly had the
effect of rescuing the infant from a
watery grave.
The funeral took place on Monday
afternoon. It was attended by nearly
all the citizens of Virden, and the
cortege was a very long one. The
hearse was followed by all the teachers
and children of the Virden public
school, of which Willie was one of the
most promising pupils. The children
marched in double file as far as the
bridge at the end of Nelson Street,
and from there they were conveyed to
the cemetery where a very impressive
funeral service was conducted by the
Rev. Mr. Beattie.
The floral offerings on the casket
were numerous and beautiful, a wreath
of white sillies was placed upon it by
the deceased's class -mates and a very
handsome one given on behalf of the
citizens of Virden was also noticed.
The sorrowing parents have the most
heartfelt sympathy of the entire com-
munity in their sad bereavement.

THE SCIENCE OF i1TEDICINE.
WONDERFUL ADVANCES MADE IN THE
LAST FEW YEARS.
MR. JOHN MCGOVERN OF TORONTO RE-
LATES AN EXPERIENCE OF DEEP IN-
TEREST—UTTERLY HELPLESS AND
SUFFERED GREATLY BEFORE RELIEF
CAME.
From, the Toronto Globe,
Very little is heard by the general
public of the great discoveries in medi-
cine, and the countless scores of lives
that are saved by the advancing know-
ledge of medical science. People who
to few years ago were left to drag out a
miserable existence as hopeless invalids,
or helpless cripples, are now, thanks to
the advances medicine has made, re-
stored to the fulness of health and
strength. Mr. John McGovern, who
resides at No. 2 Alpha avenue, in this
city, has good cause to appreciate the
truth of the above statements. Mr.
McGovern was formerly an agent for
agricultural implements, and is well
known in different parts of Ontario.
A Globe reporter who had heard that
he had been restored to health, after
an illness which threatened to leave
him a hopeless cripple, called upon him
at his residence recently, and was given
the following interesting account of
his case :—
"My troubles first began," said Mr.
McGovern, "two years ago when 1 was
living in the village of Bolton, in the
County of Peel. The trouble was all in
my elbows and, knees, and the doctors
thought it wits rheumatism. I couldn't
walk a block without wanting to sit
down, and even to walk down stairs
was hard :work. It afflicted me terri-
bly, I was all right in other ways but
for this terrible weakness. For a year
and a half I suffered from this, but by
sheer force of will held out against it,
and managed to get about; but six
months ago I broke down completely,
and had to give up my business, I
then removed to Toronto, and for three
months after this I was in terrible
shape. I was almost always confined
to my bed, being able to come down
stairs for a little while perhaps once a
day. I suffered all the time from a
terrible soreness in the joints, and at
this juncture my appetite began to
fail, and I was only able to eat the
lightest food, and not much of that, I
could find nothing to help me or give
me relief. All this time I was unable
to do anything, and, had I not fortun-
ately had a little money laid by which
'enabled me to go on, I would have
been dependent upon my family for
support. Well, while I was in this
terrible shape, my eldest son prevailed
on me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
and early in last July I began to use
them, and I took them steadily during
that month and the two following
months. Before the first box was
finished I began to get relief, and from
that out I steadly improved until I was
able to discontinue the use of the Pink
Pills, feeling that I was fully restored
to health. I tial satisfied in my own
mind that had; ft not been for Br.
limns' Pink Pills I would still have
been helpless and suffering, and I hiwa
much reason to be thankful that my
Bon persuaded ileo to use' them,
Thanks to Pink Pills I an now a MEW
Alan and intend soon to resume my
work."
Dr. Williams' Pink 'Pills are a per -
feet 'blood builder and nerve restorer,
curing such diseases as rheumatism,
neuralgia,artial paralysis, locomotor
ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, nervous head-
ache, nervous prostration and the
tired feeling therefrom, the after
effects of ht grippe, diseases depending
upon humors to the blood, such as
scrofula, chronic erysipelas etc. Pink
Pills give a healthy glow to pale and
sallow egutplexious, and are a specific
for the troubles peculiar to the female
system, and in the case of men they
effect a radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, overwork, or ex-
cesses of any nature.
Bear in mind Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills are never sold in bulk, or by the
dozen or hundred, and any dealer who
offers substitutes in this form is trying
to defraud you and should be avoided.
Ask your dealer for Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People and refuse all imi-
tations and substitutes.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills may be had
from all druggists, or direct by mail
from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Com-
pany, Brockville, Ont., or Schenectady,
N. Y., at 50 cents a box, or 6 boxes for
$2.50. The price at which these pills
are sold makes a course of treatment
comparatively inexpensive as compar-
ed with other remedies or medical
treatment.
