A self-appointed instructor in civics,
nine years of age, was rehearsing the
greatness of Premier Laurier, when he
was interrupted by one of his bearers,
a little girl, who said gently, but with
a certain air of reproof : "God made
Canada ; he only lets Sir Wilfrid run
it."

tilos:--The apple crop appears to 'be
good ---a great deal better than in 1901,
The quality also seems to be better.
The apples never dropped more than
they are doing this year, but this will
likely improve the quality. The pros-
pects for plums are rather lighter than
test year. The cherries, which are
just on now, are good, The pears also
seem to be good, Apples, 20 per eent,

Voters' Lists.
Wingham Voters' List for 1902 has
been completed, and every person en-
titled to a vote should see that he is
correctly entered. There are 879
names on the list ; 813 of these are
qualified to act as jurors.
Sure Cure.
If you want to put an everlasting
stop to the growth of a burdock, just
cut it off below the crown and pour
upon the root a teaspoonful of coal
oil. In a week or ten days instead of
the stalk you will see a greasy, round
hole.
At The Mill,
Improvements are being made in
Wingham grist mill, and new machin-
ery will be placed therein during the
next few weeks, This will necessitate
a number of changes. Customers can
have their gristing and chopping
promptly attended to while the chan-
ges are being made.
Contract Let.
Wm. Nicholson bas the contract for
the building of the new stores for
Mayor Vanstone and C. N. Griffin,
There will be four stores in the block,

Remarkable.
It is wonderful what may be accom-
plished by skilful surgeons, Opera-
tions that would have been considered

the patient can now get around.
Harold H. .
The free•for-alt was run off ou Friday
last at the exhibition grounds, Winni-
peg, after some delay, I3arold H. and
Tom Ogden being barred out. Democ-
racy walked away from the only two
other starters. Harold H. was after-
wards raced against time, and broke
the h;.,'f-mite track record, 2.12;,
doing it in 2,04
Sudden Death.
Death came very suddenly to John
Campbell of the towaline of Howick
and Wallace on Thursday last. He
was mowing after tea, and had only
gone a round or two with the mower
when he fell dead across the machine.
The team continued their course for
awhile, as was evident from the zig-
'zag cut of the grass. The unfortunate
man was found later in the evening
with life extinct, The funeral took
place on Sunday.
Died.
A correspondent of the Seaforth Sun
thus reports the death of a former
resident of this vicinity :—"It is our
sad duty this week to record the death
of Mary Ellen May, wife of Mr. James
Parish, of Constance, which occurred
on Wednesday of this week. Deceas-
ed was only sick for a few days, and
her demise was quite unexpected. She
was aged 43 years. The funeral will
take place this (Friday) afternoon at 2
o'clock ; the remains will be interred
in the Ktnbnrn cemetery. Mr. Parish
and family have the sympathy of a
large circle of friends in their sad be-
reavement."
In London.
In these days of marvelous achieve-
ments men have almost ceased to be
surprised, no matter what strange no-
velty may appear, and yet we have
jest learned of a sensational feat of
human skill and daring that compels
universal wonder and admiration
wherever it is seen. It is called the
Cycle Dazzle, and was- originated by
the world-famous king of hazardous
exploits, The act is performed on the
smallest racing track ever ooustrueted
and one built at an angle o£ '74 degrees.
In this strange structure two men and
two women on bicycles perform feats
so marvelous that they defy' descrip-
tion. One can scarcely imagine the
terrific speed that must be attained by
these daring riders on such a track, to
set at naught completely the law of
gravitation, The Direetors of the
Western P'eir Association have fortu-
nately been successful in securing the
attraetton for the thousands who will
visit T4ondon from September 12th to
20th, the date of the great exhibition.
Wonderful Growth.
This is the year for phenomenal
growth. A pea vine has been left In
the Advance office that measures
seven feet six inches. It was pulled
from a field of peas on the farm of
Robt, Hastings, of the Oth concession
of Turnberry.
Sold.
Twambly Bros, of Howick sold 100
acres of land to J. Underwood for
$5,400. Jas. Walker of Wingham sold
to W. F. Vanstone, the hriek building
on south side of Victoria street, now
occupied by T. Armstrong as an imple-
ment shop. Mr. Vanstone intends fit-
ting it up for a double dwelling. Both
sales were made through the agency
of A. Dulmage.
Drowned,
Gordon Manuel, the twelve year old
son of Harry Manuel (formerly of
Wingimm) was drowned recently in
the Assiniboine river at Fort Rouge,
Iie was fishing from a float or raft,
when the slipped and fell into the water,
which was very deep, and the current
swift and eddying. The body was re-
covered shortly afterwards. An old
gentleman some distance off, saw the
accident, but was unable to render
any assistance in time to -save the
boy's life.
Always Wanted.
At the Advance office, items of news
are always welcome, and the true
news. bringer is a friend always wel-
come. Among the desired items are :-
1,—Marriages, with as many particu-
lars as possible. 2—Deaths, with sket-
ches of the life. 3—Removals. 4—Loss
by fire ; give insurance. 5—Transfers
of land. 0—Unusual freaks or inci-
dents. 7—New enterprises, 8—Items
of good stock, or remarkable produce
or growth. 9—Visitors to or from a
distance. 10—Township news. 11—All
news thaeis really news, trustworthy,
and from a reliable source.
Appeal Dismissed.
On Monday Judge Doyle heard the
appeal of the Bell Telephone Co. from
the decision of the Court of Revision,
regarding their assessment. The origi-
nal assessment was $2,000 on poles,
wires, etc., and $500 ou phones (per-
sonal property). At the appeal to the
Court of Revision the personal proper-
ty was found to be exempt and the
$500 was struck off. The Company
then appealed to the Judge against
the assessment of $2,000, J. A. Morton
appeared for the Company, and D.
Holmes, of Dickinson & Holmes, for
the town. The Judge dismissed the
appeal with costs, so the assessment
stands.
TRIP UP THE LAKE.
Rydal Bank, Algoma, July 24,'02,
To Editor ADVANCE.
DEAR SIR,—We bad a very pleasant
trip from Wingham to Algoma. Phe
King Edward was over seven hours
behind time leaving Kincardine, but
we were glad of this- (although it was
very tiresome waiting), for on. account
of this delay we passed through the
most beautiful scenery in daylight.
We certainly bad a most enjoyable
boat ride. The water was not rough.
The boat was not crowded, and we
were very comfortable. The scenery
is splendid as we cross from Lake Hu -
von into the Georgian Bay, and also
approaching Parry Sottnd, where for
over ten miles we pass innumerable is-
lands, great and small. At Parry
Sound, apparently every foot of avail-
able space on or near the wharf is
covered with great piles of lumber. A
ride of five or six hours across the pic-
turesque northern region of Georgian
They lands us at Killarney. Number-
less islands and lofty rocks surround
this unique village, Leaving Killar-
ney, the cruise of the North Channel
begins. The waters here are peaceful-
ly smooth, being guarded on the. south
by the Manitoulin and other large is-
lands, and the north by the mainland.
A short ride brings 08 to Little Cur-
rent., one of the prettiest points on the
Manitoulin Island. Some large saw-
mills are operated here, Passing
through Spanish Mills, Cutler, Algoma
Mills and Blind River, we stop atThes-
salon, a town on the mainland, nearly
opposite St. Joseph's Island. here we
met with friends and former acquaint•
ancee from Huron county. Continu-
ing on our way, we bring up in a short
time at that pretty little town, Bruce
Mines. Quito a boom struck this place
a little over two years ago, when about
$750,000 was spent in opening up a
copper mine, and for reasohs known
only to the promoters, the work \vas
dropped like a hot potato about a year
ago. VVe are visiting in the neighbor-
hood of the home of Mr, W. R. Smyth,
M. P, I'. This is a very rough coun-
try. In this vicinity there are "bluffs"
mountains of solid rock, rising 300 feet
high, and covering as much as 200
acres. Soule farmers here own ,about
forty acres of land in the valleys, and
120 acres of rock rising mountains
high. It seems to me that it will be
hard work for the present generation
to clear the timber off their farms and
improve them, build good houses and
barns, make good roads, erect schoois
and churches and leave an inheritance
worth the naming to their children,
here, farmers know very little of the
comforts, and nothing of the luxuries,
that the fttt'rners of lithron county
enjoy, Yours truly,
Jone1 Ri itix,

Narrow Escapes.
On Saturday last, tine residence of
Joshua Scott had a close call, Daring
the electric storm the lightning struck
a tree no the lawn and split it into
pieces. The electric fluid seems to
have glanced from the tree, entered
the house by one of the windows, tore
some paper off the walls, and passed
out at another window, splitting a
window -blind in Its passage. It is for-
tunate none of the inmates were in-
jured. During the storm. on Thursday
last
the residence of Mr. Lamont, an
the Bluevale road, was struck, the
lightning piercing the brick walls.
These were narrow escapes for the in-
mates of the dwellings.
Roughly Handled.
On Saturday evening a young man
from the country was attacked by sev-
eral of the town boys in the stable of
one of the hotels, and so roughly han-
dled that the services of a physician
were necessary. The case was entered
for hearing, and had it been pushed
the perpetrators would havo found
themselves in trouble, but. a settle-
ment was effected. We are informed
that this is not the first time these
boys have been in a scrape, and if they
are wise they will be more careful in
future, or it will end in exposure and
disgrace. Everything like rowdyism
must be checked, for the good name of
our.town.

DR. HORSEY'S DEATH.
The Owen Sound Times gives the
following account of the sad and fatal
accident to Dr, Horsey, M. P. ;-
11 was shortly after 0 o'clock that
the accident occurred—three minutes
after 0 says the engineer, Dr. Horsey
had been around the works during the
day. Late in the afternoon, Mr. W.
P. Telford, of Telford & Co., bonkers,
a director of the Sun Portland Cement
Company, limited.` visited the plant.
He was met by Dr. Horsey, and to-
gether they went from one department
to another, discussing with interest
the ponderous machines, Everything
was running smoothly, 11 was almost
six o'clock when they reached the en-
gine building, which is situated at the
north side of the group, and just east
of the kiln section. En this building is
located the big 050 horse power engine.
E'rom this engine heavy ropes which
are used instead of belts, lead into the
kiln building. Only a few feet from
the gigantic fly -wheel of the big engine
is a smaller engine of about 100 horse-
power, which is used as an accessory
engine for subsidary machines and for
turning the rotaries when the larger
engine was not in use. On this smaller
engine were two fly -wheels, each about
four feet in diameter. The momentum
of these when making many revolu-
tions a second was very great. Dr.
Horsey stood about four feet from this
engine and beside him stood Mr. Tel-
ford. Engineer M. Smith was not far
distant. At this juncture Engineer
W, Webb entered for night duty.
Turning to these gentleman Dr. Hor-
sey gave instructions that the big en-
gine he started at 9 o'clock. Engineer
Smith then walked over to the valve
to close down the smaller engine, He
had bis hand on the valve -and was in
the act of shutting off the steam when
like a flash, a fly drive wheel on the
smaller engine flew into fragments.
For an instant the air was filled with
flying fragments of iron. Pieces tore
through the sheet -iron roof as though
it were so much paper. Windows
were broken, and the steel rafters sup-
porting the roof were twisted in pla-
ces, Portions of the floor were torn
up and at other places the flooring
bulged upwards. The hundreds of
yards of heavy rope used for belting
was broken in places and hung about
the wheel of the big engine. The scene
of wreckage within ,thft engine -house
defies description.' Mr. Telford and
the engineers were unhurt, but their
escape was miraculous. To look at the
interior of..the engine -room one cannot
imagine how they could possibly have
escaped unhurt, Recovering their.
senses from the terrible shock the gen-
tlemen were horrified beyond measure,
for on the floor lay Dr. Horsey, with a
terrible wound on the right side of his
head, unconsious and gasping feebly
for breath. From the gaping opening
in the skull the brain protruded, with
indications of being lacerated by the
flying missile. Re was taken to the
hospital, where he expi+ed at 12 p. m,
Dr. Horsey had completed arrange-
ments to go to England, and was to
have left on 'Saturday. His eldest
daughter, a child of ten, has been re-
siding in England with relatives for
some months past, and a joyful meet-
ing was in anticipation for both father
and daughter.
After the accident it was noted as a
coincidence by one of the employees of
the works that things had not passed
smoothly with Dr, Horsey during the
day. When assisting to replace a belt
he hurt his lhancl, and at the time re-
marked. "This must be my unlucky
day ; I have been hurt at everything I
have put my hand. to."
The funeral took place on Friday.
Five thousand people watched the sad
procession. Business was entirely sus-
pended during the funeral hours. In
every way possible the town and sur-
rounding country paid respect to the
dead. The cortege was the largest
ever seen in Owen Sound. The service
was held at, the residence of the de-
ceased, West street. Rev. R, J. Mc-
Alpine, pastor of Knox church, con-
dncted the service, assisted by Rev.
Jas. Ardill, Rev. Dr. Fraser of Annan,
and Rev-. R. Rogers. The service
opened with the singing of a favorite
hymn of Die Horsey's, "A few more
years shall roll." Mr. McAlpine paid
at high tribute to the worth of Dr.
Horsey.
Mr. Robert Purvis, ex -Warden of
the County of Bruce, and one of the
oldest and most widely known resi-
dents of the township of Kinloss, died
