(BLYTH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1907.
SUFFOCATED BY GAS.
A very sad and heart -breaking cir-
cumstance occurred at the Osgoode
House, Toronto, on Tuesday night of
last week wherby Mrs, McEwing, wife
of Alex. McEwing, of Mullett, and her
mother Mrs. John Shannon, of Mc-
Killop, loot their lives.
Joao Watt, of Hedrick, his nephew,
Alex, • McEwing, and wife and her
mother, Mrs, John Shannon, went to
Toronto on Tuesday. They engaged a
room for the women, the last one loft
in the Osgoode House, and a bed in an-
other house for themselves directly
opposite, After taking dinner they
went out to the exhibition and remain-
ed there all afternoon and evening. On
aecount of croWds on the cnrs at night
they did not get back to the hotel till
after 11 o'clock, and the ladies retired
between 11,80 and 12.
Air. McEwing went into the room to
turn the gas off for them and warned
theta to be careful about using it, He
is said to have turned the gas off till
the flame was extinguished. He was
then going to light a snatch to make
erre it was all right, but could not find
any. ,The women said there were two
on the ddresser, but he did not get them.
Mr, McLwingand Mr. Watt were up
eltortly before six o'clock Mr Mc -
Ewing went for a short walk before
breakfast and on hie return knocked at
the door of the ladies' room. He re-
ceived no response, He then went to
Mr. Watt and said he thought some-
thing was wrong. Mr. Watt notified
John Welles the hotel porter, who at

nothing. He thought they had been
dead for sometime,
When Coroner Greig, who wag noti•
fled, searched+the room next morning
he could find Aly one match, The
supposition is :hat one of the wotnon,
presumably Mrs. Shannon, arose dur-
ing the night to light the gas and inad-
vertently left it turned on.
Mr. McEwing, who is one of the
most highly respected young men in
Hullett, is a nephew of John Watt, of
Harlock, and makes his home with
him. He wag married only about a
year ago, his wife, a native of 1tfcKil-
lop, being exceedingly popular both
before and since her marriage, end her
untimely death will lie greatly la-
mented. She was a member of Burns'
church,
Mrs. Shannon was the wife of John
Shannon, a well-known and respected
farmer of McKillop.
That thie double fatality hes caused
a shock to the community in which the
Parties reside goes without saying, and
the deepeet sympathy is manifested for
all concerned,

Grow Ontario Wheat.
The average Ontario farmer doss not
worry very much over the problems of
food chemistry, or such details as the
requisite amount of hydrocarbons or
proteid in bread. But he is vitally
interested in those problems that affect
the market for his: ps'oducte and the
cost of living.
There seems to be little relation be-
tween the loaf on the table and the
markets of the Province; There is a
nese relation, however—hecause of the
:Met that indtylduels all over Ontario
insist on buying West rn flour, think-
ing it the best because it has been so
extensively atlgertieed. This, taken hi
the aggregate, has caused the decline
in the demand' tor Ontario wheat and
the building up of the west at the ex-
pense of Ontario farmers and millers -
1 hat the merket has been largely lost
and that feed is dear cannot be die-
pnted, but what is vastly more int -
portent to the terming community of
Ontario is the eignel success of Ontario
utilters in driving out Western com-
petition in the Martine markets.
People in Ontario eat bread made from
Western flour. People in the Maritime
Provinces prefer what is known as
Ontario blended flour, and the effect of
this demand i already felt by those
millers who make especially of the new
flour.
The exploitation and discovery of the
fact that just enough Western from
needs to be added to the richly -flavored
but weaker flour of Ontario, to make
the hest and most nourishing bread in
the world, spell opportunity for Ontario
farmers, They cannot afford to neglect
this latest move to regain the home
market and thhooner they realize that
it is financial folly to encourage West.

own bank accounts, and insist on buy-
ing only flour milled in Ontario, the

money will roman In Ontario, to bene-

Although our formal opening is announced for Friday

New Fall Dress Coods
We have this fall the equal of our former displays so far
as regards values, qualities, selectness, and we have even
greater variety.
The almost infinite variety of shades, weaves, textures,'
weights and mixtures possible with modern looms hasnever
been so srtisfactorily demonstrated in Canada before. Novel.
ties exclusive to us are here by the score. Again we may
say without fear of serious or sincere contradiction --our Dress
Goods are supreme.
What we say about Dress Goods applies with equal force
to our Millinery. It is unmatchable forbeauty and variety.
