King Edward Critically III.
Just two clays before the date fixed
for the Coronation of King Edward,
his loyal subjects throughout the Em-
pire, were startled by the sad news that
he was critically ill. An operation
was performed, and revealed the pres-
ence of a large abscess. The corona-
tion ceremony was indefinitely post-
poned, and the bulletins stating his
condition from time to time were tele-
graphed, to allay if possible the intense
anxiety felt throughout the entire
world.
This morning (Tit nrsday) His Majesty
is reported improving, and hopes are
entertained of his recovery.

between Cargill and Wingham teams
on the park on Monday afternoon.

Excursion.
The I. 0. 0. F. excursion to Sarnia
on Saturday last was a success, though
the web morning probably prevented
many- from going. Ninety-seven ex-
cursionists carne from stations between
Wingham•and Kincardine, and eighty-
one joined them at this station, Alto-
gether there were nearly four hundred.
The railway accommodation was good.

made. The officials of the boat (White
Star line) are always courteous, and
this trip was no exception to the rule.
Everything on board was orderly and
comfortable. After payment of ex-
penses, Minerva Encampment should
have a, neat sum remaining.
Weather Forecasts.
In Word and Works, Rev. Irl Hicks
gives full forecasts of July weather,
from whieh we condense the follow-
ing :—A Venus disturbance is central
on the 2nd and extends beyond the
15th, covering the Vulcan period from
4th to 10th. On 4th and 5th, the moon
is at her extreme declination north,
and is new. These facts and other
causes may produce a warm wave of
great intensity, and wicked storms of
thunder, rain and hail may follow in
some places. Some of the most disas-
trous storms have occurred under
similar conditions, and storms may be
expected from 4th to 7th. Reaction-
ary storms due about llLh to 13th,
may develop about 10th. Excessively
warm weather will be felt just before
these storms. The planet Saturn is in
opposition on the lith, and unless
frequent electrical storms break up the
solar energy, there will be a term of
of intensely warm weather during the
centr#il part of the month. On July
17th the earth passes between Saturn
and the sten, and on August SLlh, be-
tween Jupiter and the son, and unless
we have breathing spells and thunder
Amens, intense heat and drought will
prevail in - many parts for several
weeks, Notable disturbances may oc-
cur, from 16th to 20th, owing to com-
bined influence of Mercury and Venus,
if marked, electrieal storms occur,
they will bring respite from eonsunt-
leg heat and drought, Froin 22nd to
24th, storms, lightning and rain may
come. The moon crosses the celestial
egnator on the 21th, and tine increases
probability of thunder storms. The
last storm period for July will be in its
closing days, and probable rain and
thunder storms may be expeeted to
pass from west to east As tt' a month
goes out.

long home on Wednesday, 25th inst.

Operation.
John Mulvey of- Delmore has been
seriously ill for the past ten days. On
Tuesday, Dr. .Agnew of Wingham and
Dr. Macklin of Mildmay, performed an
operation, and on Wednesday evening
we received word that he was resting
easily, and hopes were entertained of
bis recovery, We trust these hopes
will be realized..
Social.
A very successful social was held in
theebasement of the Methodist church
on Tuesday evening under the auspices
of the Ladies' Aid, Social conversa-
tion, a short program of mueic, re-
freshments, etc., made the evening
pass pleasantly ; proceeds about $51.
The ladies have undertaken an impor-
tant work and are doing it successfully.
Died In Bluevale.
Mr. Sommerville, a respected resi-
dent of Bluevale, joined the great ma-
jority on Sunday last, aged 75 years.
He leaves a widow, three sons, and
one daughter, The funeral took place
on Wednesday to Palmerston, where
he formerly lived. He was a brother-
in-law, of Mr. Wm. Mitchell of town,
who accompanied the remains to
Palmerston on Wednesday,
The Iron Works.
Very little has been said publicly
about the sale of the Iron Works.
What is available, however, the public
interested are entitled to know. So
far as We can penetrate the veil of se-
crecy surrounding the affair, it may
be safely said that the works have
been sold for $8,500, and the agree-
ment, we are informed, has been sign-
ed. All the details may not be com-
pleted, but From what can be gathered
the gentlemen who are to Compose the
company are reliable business men,
and as a guarantee of good faith will
make a substantial deposit in the
Bank. Every ratepayer will be pleased
to know there are prospects of the
Works being utilized.
The Report.
The engineer has reported as to the
cost of a main sewer down the front
street. Figures given are for an eigh-
teen inch sewer, and the probable cost
is placed at about $4,000, besides sur-
veys; etc., costing perhaps a few hun-
dred dollars extra, The Council will
consider the report at an early date.
As to waterworks, the report is not
yet submitted, but the engineer when
here, considered that an ample supply
of good water could be obtained from
available springs to furnish a town of
8000 inhabitants. This would require
285,000 gallons daily, and the capacity
of the springs was toughly estimated
at 300,000 gallons. It is not likely that
action will be taken on the water sup-
ply this year.
Examinations,
The Entrance examination is in pro-
gress at the Central school. There
are fifty-seven pupils writing, twenty-
seven from the Wingham school and
thirty-five from outside places. The

about nine o'clock, as many as could
get within the Wails of the school-
honse;;did so, but on account of the
limited accommodation, many were
unable to gain admittance, and in eon-
segttenco were deprived of the pleasure
of listening to the interesting program

Interred Here.
The remains of James S. Barkley
were brought to Wingham from Owen
Sound for burial on Friday last, De-
ceased was once a prosperous business
man in Wingham in the tinsmithing
line. About 16 years ago he went to
Detroit to engage in the saloon busi-
ness. Strong drink seems to have
proved his ruin, for it caused separa-
tion from his family and wrecked his
lite. Lately he went to Owen Sound,
where he was taken i11 on Tuesday and
died Wednesday night. The funeral
on Friday was not largely attended,
very few of his old friends being aware
of it. He was in his fiftieth year.

Dominion Day.
Tuesday next will be the thirty-fifth
anniversary of the Confederation of
the Provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick into the Dominion
of Canada. On February 10th, 1807,
the British North American Aet was
passed by the Imperial parliament,
and on July 1st the Dominion was pro-
claimed establibhed. Lord Monek was
the first Governor-General of the Do-
minion, and the first parliament met
November Oth, Sir John A. Macdonald
being Premier.
On Jul 15, 1870, the
North-west territories were added, and
the province of Manitoba was admit-
ted. The Governors -General since 1807
have been :-
1867—Viscount Monek,
1809—Sir John Young (Baron Lisgar
from 1870).
1872—Earl of Dufferin,
1878—Sir John Campbell (Marquis of
Lorne).
1883—Marquis of Landsdowne,
1888—Baron Stanley of Preston.
1803—Bari of Aberdeen.
1808—Earl of Minto.
The celebrations of Dominion day, as
a rule, are not calculated to instruct
the rising generation in our past his-
tory or future possibilities. There
have been celebrations, . caiithunlpian
processions, etc., etc. Why not have
a general gathering in the Town hall
in every village and town ? Let there
be historical addresses, glimpses of the
past, forecasts of the future, and an
outline of our vast resources. This,
interspersed with patriotic recitations
and songs, wonid prove not only enter-
taining, but instructive, and be a fit-
ting celebration of our natal day. As
an educative influence it would be
away ahead of the nsual caiithnmpian
procession or program as frequently
carried out.

is rapidly becoming one of the neces-

stables, silos, sidewalks and founda-
tions of buildings ; even solid railway
bridges are built of it, while the value
of cement brick, cement stone, cement
tile is acknowledged by their general
use, Some say that the present age is

it might also be termed the "cement

Bereaved.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Mark
Gray is saddened by the presence of
death. A few weeks ago, their daugh-
ter, Mrs. Wright, of Toronto, came to
.spend a few weeks at her old home.
She was taken ill, and on Wednesday
evening about 10.30 she passed to the
home where the inhabitants never say
they are sick. Mrs. Wright was well-
known as Miss Nellie Gray, formerly
teacher in one of the departments of
our school. Of a kindly, amiable dis-
position, she was a favorite of all who
kneev her, and her demise will be deep-
ly regretted by a large circle of friends.
She leaves a sorrowing husband and
one daughter aged two years. The
bereaved relatives have the sympathy
of many friends, but the loneliness
and sorrow of bereavement will nev-
ertheless be keenly felt. The funeral
takes place on Friday at 2 o'clock, and
will be strictly private ; no flowers.
Mrs. Wright was 29 years of age,

Rev. R. Hobbs prenched two excel-
lent sermons on Sunday last in Wing -
ham Methodist church. Tho morning
text was—"Be thou faithful unto
death, and I will give thee a crown of
life," and the sermon was especially
helpful and inspiring. The discourse
in the evening was the second on the
topic—"The love of money, the root of
all evil." The love of money was
shown to be the ruling motive in
monopolies, trusts and combines, and
the Chicagoan trinity, Field, Armour
and Pullman given as examples. De-
partmental stores, and difficulties be-
tween capital and labor were traced to
the same cause. Trades Unions and
strikes were dealt with, the speaker
contending that while one man might
refuse to work for another at a given
wage, he had no right to compel others
to cease from work. The sale of in-
toxicating drinks, and 05 per cent. of
the tnnrders and burglaries were attri-
huted to the love of money.
