ested in a new bicycle factory to be

quiries of him learned that it was nob
the Goderich Organ Co,, in which Mr.

ed, Of this lir. Clark hes taken a con-
siderable amount of stock, • Others of
the prominent ' stock -holders are
Mesers, McKay, .Heederron, Mc!ntosh,
Git,rroeh, Downing and route store. Mr.
Henderson is the practical man of the
organization so far as the. manufacture
of bicycles is concerned. He .has been
engaged in the business in Brantford
but not with the Goold Bicycle Co..
and he is thoroughly conversant with
the manufacture of this lite of goods.
It is their intention to manufacture a
thoroughly up to date wheel which will
be termed "the common sense wheel"
having the latest and best improve-
ments. During the coming season they
will manufacture 1,000 wheels. The
factory is almost completed and
will have a floor space of 35,000
teet. The nlanfacture of wheels will
commence about the first of November
and by the first of March they will
have a batch ready for the market.
The demand for wheels is steadily in-
creasing and no line to -day offers bet-
ter encouragement for live enterpris-
ing manufacturer's than this and Mr.
Clark is likely to find his investment a
profitable one. It is to be hoped that
he will, for capitalists like Mr. Clark
who are not afraid to investigate a
scheme and put their money in it when
they are satisfied that there is merit in
it are the kind that not only benefit
themselves but the community in
which they reside.
MONDAY'S STORM.—Monday was the
most stormy day of the season, the
wind being at huricane strength from
morning till night. The lake was
seemingly boilingso high rose the
ever rolling white capped waves.
These as they reached the pier ends
broke with great force, submerging
them and forming into great clouds of
spray fell in showers of dazzling beauty.
To those who go down to the sea in
ships the gale woyld he a danger, but
to those on shore, the never ceasing
rolling and murmuring of the mighty
waves formed a scene of grandeur that
will never be forgotten.
RUNAWAY.—On Wednesday evening
two teams were tied up while their
owners were doing business, and the
animals becoming impatient broke
away and started for hone, Goderich
township. Both wagons were loaded,
nevertheless the horses made good
time on the homeward run. One team
had got about two miles out when load
and wagon were spread over the road,
the horses being unhurt, the vehicle
slightly injured. The other continued
the ,journey, and nearing the R. R.
crossing met the appproaching train
and attempted to cross the track before
the last car had cleared it. The result
was that the wagon pole struck the
end of the rear car, broke it, the pole
and the off horse was knocked down
by the force of the collision. When
the owner came up with his runaway
he found the animal alive but so
severely injured its -to necessitate its
shouting, an act of mercy that was
soon carried out. That a team could
attack a moving train has caused con-
siderable surprise, hut it must he re-
membered that they were Goderich
township animals and most likely in-
sured on the Tontine principle, a well
known surety of speed, strength, and
daring.
LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT.—At the
regular meeting of the Collegiate Insti-
tute Literary Society on Friday even-
ing the following programme was

CRIPPLED BY RHEUMATISM.
A KING'S CO., N. S., MAN SUFFERS FOR
LONG WEARY MONTHS.
HAD REACHED A STAGE WHEN HE WAS
UNABLE TO TURN IN BED WITHOUT
AID—HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS SPENT
IN THE SEARCH FOR RELIEF—DR.
WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS AGAIN PROVE
THEIR WONDERFUL HEALTH GIVING
POWER.
From the Kentville, N. 8., Chronicle.
Mt. David O. Corkum, of Scott's Bay
Road, is the owner of one of the best
farms in King's Co., N. S., and
is one of the best known farm-
ers in that section of the country.
He is naturally al hard working
man and when strong is always
found busy on his place. Last winter
he spent the whole season in the lumb-
er woods, was strong and healthy and
worked as hard as anyone. But 1t1as
not always been so.. In fact it is the
wonder of the neighborhood that he is
able to work et all. Before moving to
Scott's Bay Road, Mr. Corkum lived at
Chester, Lunenbui g Co., N. S., and
rheumatism, which affected him in
such a way that he was unable to do
manual labor of any kind. Abort this
time he moved to his present home,
hut he could not get a moment's respite
from the effects of his disease. Feeling
that he could not get well at any cost
he had his old doctor brought from
Chester to his relief, but he was unable
to do anything for him. He tried
many kinds of medicine hoping to re-
ceive benefit hut to no avail. Being
determined not to die without a strug-
gle he had doctors summoned from
Halifax, hut still continued to get
worse. About three years ago he took
t hriebed and his case developed into
bone and muscle rheumatism of the
worst type. It spread through all his
bones, and into his neck and into his
arm, causing partial paralysis of that
limb, rendering it utterly useless since
he could not lift it above his wrist.
All the strength left his muscles, and
he was unable to turn in bed without
aid. He was able to stand upon his
feet, but could riot walk. Still the doc-
tors waited upon him and still he took
their medicines, but with no beneficial
result. During this time Mr. Corkum
paid out several hundred dollars in
hard cash for doctor's bills and medi-
cine, all of which did him not one par-
ticle of good. After lying in bed for
fifteen months his case was pronounced
hopeless and he was given up by all.
About this time he heard of Dr. Wil-
iams Pink Pills, and as a last resource
<he resolved to,give thein a trial, . be,
first four bo'aleje produced o noticeable
of%pts, but at the llfth ho began to
notice a change.- Feellug' encouraged"
heep t on and froiu that title he rap.
dly ilai ..roved and after using the
"ink Pilla for is period. of some twelve
weeks he wits restored to perfect
health. Such was the wondefful story
told a representative of the Western
Chronicle by Mr. Corkum a short time
ago. Mr. Pork= is now 59 years of
age and perfectly healthy and feels
younger andbetter than lis has for
years and attributes his recovery sole-
ly to the use of Dr. Williams' fills, apd
he is willing to prove the truth of these
statements to anyone who may call
upon him.
These pills aro a positive cure for all
troubles arising from a vitiittcd condi-
tion of the blood or a shuttered nerv-
ous system. Sold by all dealers or by
mail front the Dr. Williams' Medicine
Company, Brockville, Out., or Schen-
ectady, N. Y., at 50 cents a box, or 6
boxes for $2.50. There are numerous
iruitations and substitutes against
which the public is cautioned.

Miss Annie Cavanaugh, of Cardinal,

Cavanaugh was a woman of wealth
and refinement. Dr. Harper is under
arrest.
David McClure, of Willianisford, and
Robert McClure, of Chatsworth, died

widow and nine children.
The 18 -year-old • daughter of David
Carson, a laborer at Alton, bas entered
an action against Wm. White, mer-
chant
erchant of that village, for $1,000 dam-
ages. White in past middle age, is a
merchant, a, Justice of the Peace, and a
married man. "Last May," says Annie,
"I was• engaged to scrub Mr. White's
store and on the day when I went to do
it Mrs, White was not at home. Mr.
White took advantage of me, and as a
result I have commenced a suit for
damages." Mr. White strongly denies
the girl's statements and says he will
fight the case in court. He looks upon
it as a case of blackmail.
There is an interesting case in pro-
gress at Berlin. The council had some
$2,000 worth of granolithic sidewalk
laid, hut although interested parties
gave notice that they were not saris -
fled with the job, the council paid the
contractor. Writs have since been
issued and served on the mayor and
councillors, holding them individually
responsible for the payment. The re-
sult of the action taken is that if it can
be proved that the sidewalks laid are
not according to contract, the coun-
cillors are directly responsible to the
citizens for the amount paid over to
the contractors.
PRIZE SHORT STORIES.-- Some
months ago the Dr. Williams Medicine
Co. of Brockville, Ont., announced a
literary competition in which they
offered $300 in prizes for the best five
short stories by Canadian writers. The
amount was divided into flve prizes of
$100, $75, $60, $40, and $25, and the inter-
est which the competition created may
be judged by the fact that more than
seven hundred manuscripts were re-
ceived from story writers in all parts
of the Dominion. These stories were
placed in the hands of thoroughly com-
petent judges, who after much labor
and earnest consideration, handed in
to the Company the names of five
stories which they ' onsidered best
worthy of the prizes. These stories
have just been issued in the form of a
handsome pamphlet called "Prize Short
Stories and n very interesting and
readable little ,book it is. In the pre-
face to the work it is announced that
the ultimate decision as to the merit of
the stories is left to the readers of the
pamphlet, and a voting paper is given
upon which they are asked to express
their preferences. A copy of this pam-
phlet will be malted, post paid, to any
of our readers who send their address
(plainly written) to the Dr. Williams
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
