wise before submitting the By-laws to

opinion prevailing also that artesian
wells as a source of supply, would be
preferable to the collection of water
from springs. The Council will in-
vestigate further and again consult
the engineer. The regular monthly
Meeting of the Council will be held
next Monday evening. •
Sudden Death.
A very sudden death occurred in
Culross on Friday last. Mr. Edward
King, an aged and respected resident
of the township, went up to Mr. Simp-
son's, where threshing was in progress.
On his return home, one of his daugh-
ters saw him coming down the hill,
and as he did not arrive soon after, she
went out to see what had happened
him, and found him lying unconscious
beside the fence. Help was obtained
and a physician summoned, but the
spark of life had fled. Deceased was
one of the pioneers, and had been an
esteemed resident of the township for
about fifty years. He leaves two
daughters and four sons. Interment
took place in Teeswater cemetery on
Monday.

Startlingly Sudden.
The uncertainty of life has been
again impressed upon the community
by the startlingly sudden death of
Mrs. David Ross, of Teeswater. Mrs.
Ross was a resident of Wingham for
nearly thirty years, but lees than two
years ago, removed to Teeswater. Her
maiden name was Caroline Fulford.
On Sunday last, Mrs. Reading and a
daughter of Mrs. Ross, drove over
from Wingham, and found the de-
ceased apparently in good health,
cheerful and bright. While she was
engaged in preparing dinner, she had
occasion to go into the woodshed, and
as she did not return when expected
her daughter went out, and found
Mrs. Ross lying unconscious. Dr.
Gillies was immediately summoned,
bub was unable to restore her to con-
sciousness, and death followed in a
short time. Mrs. Ross was 71 years of
age, and while in Wingham won es-
teem and respect from all with whom
she came in contact. While here she
was a faithful member of the Baptist
Church. p;

The Reason.
There is a little paper published in
the state penitentiary of Minnesota
called the Minnesota Penitentiary
Priesm Mirror, which propounds the
following question: "Why is it that
from the flrst inception of our paper
to the present time we have not had
an editor to sojourn in our midst?
Other professions have been well re-
preseneed. Of preachers we have had
enough to furnish subsistence to an
African chief for a year: of doctors,
sufficient in number to depopulate a
state ; and lawyers enough to estab-
lish a good sized colony in Hades,
But Editors -not one." If the Ad-
vance was disposed to answer the
question proposed by the Prison Mir-
ror, it would say that the reason no
editors are found in Minnesota
State Penitentiary is -Editors, as a
rule, are particular as to the character
of those with whom they associate,

BANQUET TO R. R. GAMEY,
M. L. A,
The presence of the "Man from
Manitoulin" in Winghani to open the
Fall Fair, at the request of the Direc-
tors,
irecttors, afforded many who had heard of
Mr. Gamey, an opportunity of seeing
and meeting the man, whose exposure
of Government methods caused such
excitement in the political arena a few
months ago.
The Conservative Association felt
that the least they could do, was to
show their confidence in Mr. Gamey
by tendering him a Banquet. Accord-
ingly, after the concert on Friday
evening, about eighty of the leading
Conservatives of Winghani and sur-
rounding country sat down to a rich
repast furnished by Alex. Orr, of Hotel
Brunswick.
The supper was served in excellent
style, and the menu. all that could be
desired. Mr. and Mrs. Orr evidcnt,ly
understand how to provide a choice
repast, and the guests showed theie
appreciation, not only by heartily par-
taking of the dainties, but by a vote of
thanks tendered host and hostess.
Supper over, President A. Dulmage
after a brief Chairman's speech, began
the toast list, which was brief in order
that the "Guest of the Evening" might
be allowed as much time as possible.
A number of leading Conservatives
gave from two to five-minute address-
es, and R. A. Douglass then introduced
R. R. Gamey, M. L. A., whom he had
known for many years. He referred
to the esteem in which Mr. Gamey was
held in his island home, his benevo-
lence to those needing assistance, and
the integrity that had marked his
career in New Ontario.
Mr. Gamey was received with ap-
plause. He spoke of the pleasure it
gave him to be present, and then took
up the printed Report of the Judges
and the official copy of the evidence
given in the State enquiry. He point-
ed out the glaring inconsistencies, the
manifest prejudices, and even false-
hoods that the report contained, scor-
ing point after point, on which we
have not space to dwell. The visit of
Cap. Sullivan to Gamey's home at
midnight; the corrupt proposals: the
part Stratton played ; the document
being found in the Premier's drawer
and the reason McGregor was not
called were alluded to. As to the falsi-
ty of the charge that if his Gore Bay
Bank book had been produced, it
would have shown where the money
came from, he pointed out that this
book and the books of the Bank had
been thoroughly searched by the Gov-
ernment's counsel.
Mr. Gamey spoke for an hour and
forty minutes and *as listened to with
the closest attention. He could evi-
dently have spoken for three hours
and many would have gladly listened
to bine for that time. His earnestness
and enthusiasm, the plain, straight-
forward manner in which he marshalls
his points, all reenvey the impression
that the charges he formulated were
based on facts. It would seem impos-
sible for an unprejudiced person to
listen to him and not he impressed
with the idea that his story is true.
That he had made mistakes he admit-
ted, but these were owing to inexperi-
ence, having.never been in court before
and thenervous strain had been tre-
mendous,
That Mr. Gamey severely criticized
the commissioners is not to be won-
dered at, when their report is com-
pared with the official report of the
evidence.
Mr. Gamey also referred to the terri-
ble state departmental affairs were in,
especially the Orown Lands depart-
ment, as shown by the Sullivan timber
deal and . the Chew case. This was
owing to the Government being so
long in power. The difficulty of secur-
ing information often prevented thor-
ough examination of suspicious trans-
actions. He expressed the opinion
that the reason the Government held
on so desperately to power, was the
fear of the revelations that would be
made, when the Departments were
closely examined.
After the customary votes of thanks
the company separated, pleased with
the Banquet, but especially delighted
at having met -"The Man from Mani-
toulin."
Harvest Home.
Successful Harvest Home services
were held in Wingham Methodist
Church on Sunday. last. Rev. Dr.
Guudy preached two excellent sermons,
appropriate for the occhsion. Selec-
tions of fruit, vegetables a$d grain were
heaped upon the table in front of the
pulpit; as emblems of the plenty
abounding. Freewill offerings were
asked for towards the Building Fund,
and the congregation responded with
their accustomed liberality and placed
upon the plates $121L83;' since then
$129.50 has been received. These
amounts with - $824.44 previously on
hand, made up a total of $2,165.77, so
that the Trustees have reached the ob-
ject aimed at of reducing the debt by
$2,0.00 on October 1st. This will leave
only a balance of $4,000. That this
4nould have been accomplished in about
eighteen months after the opening is a
remarkable showing and is evidence of
the liberality and loyalty of the con-
gregation to church enterprise. On
Sunday, afternoon, the Sunday School
had an interesting review of the quart-
er's lessons, and generously denoted $40
to the Building fund and 05 to the Pipe
Organ fund. A successful day's ser-
vices closed with an evangelistic meet-
ing held by the Epworth League.

The want of an authentic map of our
own Dominion of Canada was never
so much felt as during the present ses-
sion at Ottawa, when the Grand Trunk
Pacific Bill was being dienussed. Few
homes, businesir offices or schools have
such a thing, The publishers s of the
Family Herald andWeeklyStar, of
Montreal; always alive to such emer-
gencies, at once saw their opportunity
and have had engraved a most com-
plete and np-to.ciate reap of the 1)o -
minion, with an enlarged map of this
Rrovince as well. It is :a new Quick
teference Map and is all that then:une
implies. The mail ie only one of three

Whitechurch,
Anniversary services were held in the
Presbyterian church last Sunday and
were a grand success, numerically, finan-
cially and spiritually. Although the
morning was wet and lowering, the
church was well filled at the forenoon
service. At the afternoon service the
church was crowded and at the evening
service the Church was filled to over-
flowing. The audience at all the ser-
vices was devout and attentive, and list-
ened with reverence to the preachers of
the day, Rev. W, R. McIntosh, B. A.,
of Elora, occupied the pulpit in the fore-
noon and evening, and thrilled his audi-
ence with his spirituality, sincerity,
practical and forceful method of pre-
senting the grand old truths of the Gos-
pel of Jesus Christ. The speaker took
for his text in the morning, the words
"Have ye received the Holy Ghost," and
he had the congregation spell -bound as
he unveiled to their vision, in his elo-
quent way, the wonderful and life-giv-
ing power of the Holy Spirit in the
church and in the hearts of men. He
made clear to his hearers, the reason
there was so ranch worldliness, indiffer-
ence, covetousness, selfishness and lank
of power in the members' of the different
churches, because they have not received
the Holy Ghost. The vivifying, life-
giving, regenerating, saving power flow-
ing from the operation of the Holy Spirit
were strikingly and clearly presented.
Mr, McIntosh's text for the evening was
"Worthy the Lamb that was slain."
The worthiness of Jesus Christ, the
Lamb of God that taketh away the sins
of the world, was pictured and set forth
in such bright and roseate colors, that
the Truth could not help but take effect
on the heart and conscience of all who
heard. The sermon was Closed by an
earnest and eloquent appeal to all to ac-
cept Jeans Christ and live a life worthy
of such a worthy Saviour. Rev. W. R.
McIntosh is a preacher of no ordinary
power; earnest, convincing, soul -feed-
ing. worthy of the place he occupies.
The pastor of the congregation, Rev. G.
M. Dunn, preached in the afternoon and
his theme was "Freely ye have received,
freely give." The sermon was worthy
of the man and the occasion. The num-
berless ways that God bestows His rich
and benefloient blessings in nature, pro-
vidence and in grace, were made plain,
clear and deoisive to his hearers. When
God gives so freely and generously,
without money and without price, we
should freely and generously return His
gifts to the Giver. Time, talents, hearts,
life and all, should be freely consecrated
to God. Mr. Dunn is one of the rising
young preachers in the Church, ener-
getic, devoted, inspiring, full of life and
vigor in the pulpit and out of it. Whole-
hearted in the work for the Master, his
one aim is to win souls for the Kingdom
of Heaven. May he have many souls
for his hire in the day when Christ
makes up His jewels. The Praise ser-
vice was furbished by the choir, under
the able leadership of Mr. R. W. Simp-
son. The choir is worthy of all com-
mendation for the really excellent way
they performed their part of the song
service. The singing was helpful and
inspiring. On Monday evening a high
class entertainment was presented to the
audience in the church, by Miss LaDell
and Mrs. Caldwell. Miss LaDell is an
inimitable actor and an elocutionist'. f
marked ability; she stands without a
peer at the head of her profession, She
is stately and graceful and wins the ad-
miration and approbation of all who are
privileged to hear her. It is delightful
to hear Mrs. Caldwell sing; her voice so
sweet, so clear, the rythmics of her
