Coal From Listowel.

Elias Rogers Coal Co. of Toronto, 600
tons of anthracite coal which he
bought last March. The price was $12

and it is found to be cheaper than
coal.
Postponed.

ument erected by the W. 0. W. to the

Try This,
A Hanover, Ont., correspondent
writes to the Toronto World, that any
person who wishes to save coal or
wood ought to put two ounces or more
of saltpetre into about one quart of
strong brine, which should then be
sprinkled over the fuel. The salt pre-
vents too rapid burning and the nitre
keeps up combustion (if you put in
enough), so that you can nearly close
your stoves. I have tried it, he says.
Supper.
The Ladies' Aid of Wingham Metho-
dist church are preparing for their
Thanksgiving supper to be served in
the lecture room of the church in the
evening of Thursday, 16th. They
promise a good supper, and an interest-
ing program of music, etc., afterwards.
Watch for bills. The ladies are hard at
work on their second thousand dollars

Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Bradley mourn
the loss of their son Percy, who died
on Tuesday morning. He had been
ailing for a few days, but nothing seri-
ous was feared until diphtheria devel-
oped. Percy was a bright, interesting
child of six years, This is the only
case of this disease that has been in
town for many months, if we are cor-
rectly informed, Wingham is a re-
markably healthy town, and there is
no reason why it should not remain so,
To insure proper conditions, there
should be a domestic water system
and a system of sewerage.

Pointed Surely.
Thirty years ago a Granton girl put
a needle between her lips while she
hunted for some thread, preparatory
to threading it. Just then she sneezed
and the needle was gone. She search-
ed diligently without results. The
other day she felt a tingling sensation
in the end of her fingers. Upon ex-
amination she found the point of some
small object just above the surface
skin, Procuring a pair of tweezers she
withdrew a thorn she had accidentally
run into her finger the day before
while pruning arose.—Exchange.

Still Continues.
The great conflict between Capital
and Labor in the coal fields of Penn-
sylvania still continues, with its sad
results,
disastrous alike to employers
and employees. There is no doubt
that the men have their grievances.
The writer has been in the coal mining
regions, and has'some little idea of the
laborious work and cheerless life of
those who labor beneath the surface
of the earth that others 'may enjoy
comfort. Very few of the wealthy,
while comfortably seated in their par-
lors, enjoying the comfort of a coal
stove, take a thought of the• toilers in
the mines, who risk their lives and
live in comparative discomfort. Twen-
ty-five or even fifty cents a ton to the
miner would he cheerfully borne by
the actual consumer in nine cases out
of ten, and this would probably settle
the disastrous conflict. But the capi-
talists and the railroads interested are
so insane in their greed for money,
that the interests of the employees,
and indeed of the public generally, are
of a secondary consideration. The re-
sult of the conflict is the prospect of
much suffering among those who have
no part in the struggle. as well as aq-
tual loss to all concerned. Yet, we are
told, the ,world is getting better, and
the beneficent influences of Christiani-
ty (which are illustrated by the Gol-
den rule) are rapidly permeating this
world. It may be so ; bat in many di-
rections we look in vain for the happy
results. It is evident that, with many
in this age, the rule of Gold is far more
powerful than the Golden rule. There
is now, at the opening of winter, a
coal shortage of 25,000,000 tons on
this continent, and if the strike ended
to -day it would take many weeks to
pump out the mines and shore up the
fallen roofs of the galleries and drifts,
so that the actual work of mining the
coal can be carried on. Tremendous
responsibilities will rest upon some
persons for the wide -spread suffering
caused, and that too in a year of phe-
nomenal product of the surface soil.
We guarantee to furnish 30 parlor
suites at prices quoted in our adver-
tisement.—Walker Bros. & Button.

TOWN COUNCIL,
Council met on Monday eveningg;
present—The Mayor, Councillors Mc-
Indoo, Bell, Holmes, Elliott, Irwin.
Minutes of September meeting were
read and confirmed.
A communication from the Canada
Furniture Mfrs., Ltd., was read. It
referred to improvements made in the
Button & Fessant factory, and pointed
out that since they had purchased
Wingham factories the assessment
had been already doubled. They would
like to continue their Wingham fac-
tories as long as they could do so"eco-
nowically, but asked that the assess-
ment be fixed on a fair basis fora teem
of years. The Mayor presented a
statement from the Co., showing the
assessment of the other factories of the
Company with number of men en-
gaged. On motion by Holmes and Ir-
win, the matter was left to a commit-
tee consisting of the Mayor, Coun's
McIndoomeeting, and Elliott, to report at next
The question of waterworks and
sewer system carne up for discussion,
and the report of engineer on each was
again read. The engineer's report gave
three sources of water supply—springs,
driven wells and the river; he recom-
mended the first -named as the best
and cheapest. Three springs within
3,300 feet of the pumping station would
produce ample supply, 260,000 gallons
every 24 hours, A complete system
with standpipe would cost in the
neighborhood of $30,000, requiring a
levy each year of $1,735, or a levy on
our present assessment of 2:} mills, if
there were no revenue, but in many
places the waterworks were a paying
investment. A smaller system for fire
protection simply with standpipe could
ne put in for $9,000 less. After discus-
sion, it was moved by Coun's Elliott
and McIitdoo, and resolved, that the
Clerk request the Engineer to complete
his survey with a view to submitting
a by-law to the ratepayers in January
next.
Messrs. Lougheed and Nicholls ap-
peared before the Council in reference

COMMUNICATION.
The admission of a communication in these
columns does not imply that we endorse the
sentiments of the writer.•—Ei ditor Advance.
LET US BE CLEAR.
To the Editor of the Advance :—
Many speak of voting for or against
the referendum. We cannot, by our
vote, say whether we approve of the
referendum or not. The fact is, the
referendum was settled by the Govern-
ment and Legislature some months
ago, and on December 4th of this year
we have the opportunity of voting for
Provincial Prohibition, which is by all
odds the best temperance measure we
have ever had proposed. Its prohibi-
tory provisions are broad, and the pe-
nalties for violations very severe;
hence the strong .opposition of those
whose "craft is in danger." It has
been said an attempt will be made to
stir up strife on political lines ere Dec.
4th, but if those who wish to see bar-
rooms closed and traffic prohibited
wilt close their ears to such appeals,
they will not become entangled in any
such side -issues, Such influences have
kept us back in the past, but as the
door of opportunity is now ajar, let us
enter in and put an end to licensed
evil, A READER.
