This is the longest run of a passenger train on record. In order to accomplish this feat it was neces- sary for the locomotive to carry an extra supply of coal, and this was done by enlarging the locomotive tender, Its a pity to have a good Suit spoiled in the making. The suits we make give en- tire satisfaction. Give us a trial and be convinced. "ester & Co. tl'petairr in Shaw Block. * * —The appeal from the recount in South Bruce was dropped on Friday last, and the constituency remains Liberal. The appeal was based on the fact that several deputy returning officers had num- bered ballots on the back. As affi- davits had been made to the effect that this was inadvertently done, the appeal was dropped, and Truax confirmed in • the seat, unless in case of a protest. WOMEN AND JE%VELS. Jewels, candy, flowers, man—that is the order of a woman's preferences. Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average woman, Even that greatest of all jewels, health, is often ruined in the strenous efforts to make or save the money to purchase them, If a woman will risk her health to get a coveted gem, then let her for- tify herself against the insiduous eon - sequences of coughs, colds and bron- chial affections by the regular use of Dr. Boschee's German Syrup. It will promptly arrest consumption in its early stages and heal the affected lungs and bronchial tubes and drive the dread disease from the system, It is not a eure•ail, hut it is a certain cure for roughs. colds and all bronchial troubles. Yon can get this reliable remedy at J. E. Davis Ldwer rate Excursion To California.

Miller, 'General, Passenger Agent, Chicago. * • * —In the United States the Dem- ocratic party has begun to prepare for the next Presidentai elections. Free silver and Bryan, are no lon- ger to be the battle -cry, but Demo- crats will contend for a thorough revision of the tariff and the aboli- tion of all special privileges, and that every product of a tariff -pro- tected, competition -destroying trust be placed on the free list. They urge also that the policy regarding the Phillipines be stated, and that a stable local government should be established there as soon as order is restored. * • * —We have failed to notice in any Liberal paper, the following statement of Judge Morrison at the North Grey recount :— "It is a case of the Froatest suspicion. I am clearly of the opinion that these ballots have been tampered with since they were counted on election night, and I would al- low them for 1.1r. Boyd (the Conservative candidate) if I were persuaded that I had jurisdiction in the matter," Yet Judge Morrison was the choice of the Liberal candidate, who thought he did a cute thing, when he asked for a recount before the Conservative candidate. Another item of news Huron county Liberal papers have failed to note is the reason given by that staunch Liber- al, S. H. Blake, for voting against the Liberal party at the recent election. CENTRE BRUCE. (Bruce Herald.) The Centre Bruce recount that was to have been held before Judge I�lein, collapsed in rather a peculiar manner. All the material -for the recount was on hand, including Col. Clarke, clerk of the crown in chan- cery, with the ballot boxes. In view of the past history of such Qvents, it was parading the pre- tences of sham rather conspicionsly* to have Detective Greer on hand' to guard the boxes. Between the election and the forwarding of the boxes to Toronto, these same boxes and their contents lay in a corner of the station at Paisley without anybody guarding than ; thereby hangs a tale. Had the recount been gone on with it is believed that it would have revealed a con- dition of affairs before which even the nerve of Mr. G. W. Ross would quail. If his friends in Centre Bruce are not greatly belied, the ballots were mutilated wholesale, after the election. And that is the reason why the recount was so sud- denly dropped by Dr. Stewart's counsel. They are now talking of protesting Major Clark's election. Why don't they apply fora scru- tiny of the ballots ? * * —"Our Dumb Animals" is au- thority for the statement that prev- ious to the disastrous volcanic eruptions at St. Pierre, that caused the loss of thousands of lives, and long before Mont Pelee began, to rumble, the live stock in the vicini- ty became uneasy, and at times were almost uncontrollable. Cat- tle bellowed at night. Dogs howled and sought the company of their masters, and when driven forth gave every evidence of fear. Wild animals disappeared from vicinity of Mont Pelee. Even the snakes, which at ordinary times` are found', in great numbers near the volcano, crawled away. Birds ceased sing- ing and left the trees that shaded the sides of Pelee. * * —An American journal has the following paragraph referring to Canada :— "A. people numbering 5,371,000 have a revenue of $52,544,000. They have approximately forty million acres of land under culti- vation. Their shipping was last year 7,514,000 tons inward, and 7,028,000 tons outward ; and they exported. Canadian produce to the value of $177,431,000, while they imported for consumption $181,- 237,000 worth. They have 18,- 294 miles of railway, and the government expended during the last fiscal year $11,989,769 on canals, Government railways and other public works. The people of Canada have $478,000,000 of savings on deposit, and the num- ber of letters and newspapers han- dled by their 10,000 post offices during 1901 was 191,658,000 and 110,950,000, respectively. * —The Scientific American gave recently an extended and in- teresting history of the canals at Sault Ste. Marie. 4 rom. it we glean the following :—Canal work on the Canadian side began some time be- tween the years 1706 and 1708, when the Hudson Bay Fur Com- pany built a lock 38 feet long, 8 feet 9 inches wide, with a lift of 9 feet. A. towpath was made along the shore for oxen to pull the bateaux and canoes through the upper part of the rapids. This old lock was demolished in 1814 b,' United States troops from Macki. naw Iceland under command of Major Holmes. The present Clm- adian Banal is 5,920 feet long, 150 feet wide and 22 feet deep, with ft lock 000 feet long, 60 feet wide, and 22 feet of water on the miter. sills. It was built between the CONCLUSIONS. NiitiiiiiiciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiitiiiiTiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii uA E- THE PEOPLE'S STORE. The Toronto Telegram (Inde- pendent), after considering the tampering with the ballots in North Grey, says :-- North Grey looks like a clear case of highway robbery. It cannot be argued that there has been no sin in North Grey. Against the' claim of innocence also must be considered the words of the judge of the Liberal candi- date's own choosing, "I am clearly of opinion that the ballots have been tampered with since the day of the election." It is an ominous circumstance that the spoiled ballots were found in the only lot of ballots which could be tampered with, without either opening an . envelope or breaking a seal. The fact that the mysteriously spoiled ballots could be got at with- out either opening an envelope or breaking a seal is a damning cir- cumstance entirely inconsistent with the Globe's theory of Liberal innocence in North Grey. The Globe's North Grey explana- tions do not explain anything ex- cept the organ's belief that a Lib- eral victory by foul means is always preferable to a Tory victory by fair means. The Ontario government is the only possible receiver of direct ad- vantage from the ballots stolen in North Grey. The Liberal party will have to live after the Ontario Government is dead. Genuine Liberals must rouse themselves to the truth that a party cannot re- tain either life or virtue and be re- sponsible for the proceedings which have disgraced Liberalism in North Grey.
