Kindly REMEMBER this. Omission, In our report of the Fall Fair last week, we omitted mention of Secre- tary Wm. Robertson, who worked faithfully and conscientiously for the successof the Fair, and kindly gave the Press much appreciated assistance in preparation of the prize list. Business Change. Mr, H. M. Tudhope has disposed of his grocery business in `Wingham to Wade Bros. of Fordwicb, who are in possession and solicit the patronage of the public. They come well re- commended and no doubt will do well in our growing town. Mr. Tudhope, we understand, intends to return to Woodstock at an early date. The Advance welcomes the Messrs. Wade to Wingham and trusts they will have no reason to regret settling in our progressive town. 500 lbs Pork (Farmers Cured) for sale, 25% off.—G. E. King, Large Funeral. It is estimated that several thou- sand people attended the funeral of the late H. Cargill, M. P. for East Brace, in Walkerton on Sunday last. Among those from Wingham were— J. 3. Elliott, V. S., Dr. Irwin, R, A. Douglass, A, Dulmage, J. H. Bugg, W, Y. Lloyd, N. Griffin, A. H. Mus- grove, Thos, Bell, T. J. McLean, W, J. Greer. There were over three hundred carriages in the procession, besides foal, or five hundred people in a special train from Southampton, Port Elgin, Paisley and Cargill Stations. Dr. Landerkin Dead. Senator George Landerkin, M. D., who for many years represented South Grey in the House of Commons, and was appointed to the Senate in February, 1901, died on Sunday in Han- over. A month ago he returned home from his labors at Ottawa, and .com- plained of feeling unwell. He gradu- ally sank into a comatose condition, and the doctors feared that his brain was seriously affected. He rallied, however, and his recovery was hoped for, but on Friday he again sank into comatose which lasted until his death. Ile was 04 years. His death makes the sixth that has occurred in the ranks of the Senate since the be• ginning of the present session. In- cluding the seat vacated by the death of Dr. Landerkin, there are four va- cancies in the Senate to be filled, When these shalt have been filled the Liberals will have a majority in the Senate of 13, Lived In Wingham. The following is from the South- ampton Beacon, published by W. J. Fleuty :—A companion of Louis Rell in the rebellion of 1885, who calls him- self Honore Jaxon, is just now the centre of much interest in Chicago be- cause of a highly sensational letter be has published touching the attitude of President Roosevelt on the labor ques- tion. The document threatens to be- come a powerful political engine in ar- raying the labor element against the Republican party in the next Presi- dential election. If we are not badly mistaken this Jaxon was Rell's secre- tary during the rebellion, He appears to be always "agin the government." His proper name is Jackson ; he is a native of Clinton, but received much of his education in Wingham, being at one time a sehool-mate of the editor of The Beacon, If we are correct in this snrmise, his father was T. G. Jackson, who for some years kept a general store in Lower Wingham, and after- wards removed his stock to Upper Wingham, or what is now known as Wingham, and carried on business there for a time, afterwards going west to Prince Albert, N.

It has been an open secret for a long time past that Dr. MacDonald was not an ideal chairman of committee, and it is said to be quite probable that he will be retired to the seclusion of the Senate in order to avoid any further un- pleasantness," Pointers For Boys.

On Monday evening a man from near Belmore who is always ready for a "trade" in horses, was in town and exchanged horses with one of our business men. It looked as though the horse did not approve of being shuffled around without bis consent and decided to commit suicide, for within a few minutes after the trade, the animal fell and broke its neck or burst a bloodvessel ; at any rate it died then and there, Will Remove. The Advance regrets to hear that Wingham is likely to lose one of its respected business men and his family. Mr. Wm. Button has purchased 200 acres more of timber land near his block of timber, and finds it will be more convenient for him to reside in Toronto, hence he has decided to re- move there, and offers his fine, new and convenient residence for sale. The house is one of Wingham's best, ftp-to•date in every respect, and should find a ready purchaser. We shall he sorry to have Mr, Batton and his family leave our town, where they have resided so long. By -Election Dates. The by-elections in Sault Ste. Marie and Muskoka are dated for October 27. North Renfrew has been vacant 490 days, but the date of the election there is not announced. In the Soo, the can- didates are—A. Miscampbell (Conser- vative) and 0, N. Smith (Liberal) ; in Muskoka—A, A. Mahaffy (Conserva- tive) and Dr. Hart (Liberal). The Le- gislature now stands thus—Conserva- tives, 45; Liberals, 50; vacant, 3. The Government majority (not counting the Speaker) is 4. Should it carry the two seats, its majority will be 0, and if it fails in both it will still have 2 to the good, with North Renfrew still to he held. There are several election trials to be held and other by-elections are likely. No matter how handsome your Fail hat or gown, you'll need Fall Shoes also. The Smartest Styles are here.— W. J. GREER. Concert. Next Monday evening, under the auspices of the Citizen's Band, the Gau- thier Brownridge Concert Co. wilI give a concert in Wingham Town Hall. The performers are all artists : Kath- ryn Chattoe-Morton and Ada Luton are accomplished vocalists. and will be accompanied by Miss Gussie Roe, pi- anist ; Mr. Emerson Morton is a talent- ed violinist and vocalist ; John H, Brownridge excels as a monologuist and comic vocalist, The company come highly recommended, From a list of testimonials, we select the fol- lowing ;— Rev.

The Band wilI appreciate a liberal pat- ronage by the citizens of Wingham. From The West. Mr. Dulmage of Saskatoon, who is visiting his brother of town, formerly resided in Clifford, He went west about twenty yeat's ago, and has not been in Ontario since until now. For seventeen years Saskatoon showed little progress, but for the past three years it has grown rapidly and is on the boom, E. 0. Olerke, formerly of Wingham, is located there with good prospects. Mr. Dunnage has great faith in the West, and can talk wheat, land, politics or anything else about the West. He says there is a strong feeling there against the Grand Trunk Pacific, Electors there would reef r a Government road, or extension of the Intercolnnial, Speaking of the fertrii- ty of the western soil, Mr, Dulmage instanced that around Portage la -Pra- irie, which without rotation of crops or other methods knower to Ontario far - mere for increasing fertility, had given wheat crop every year for twenty- seven years, and apparently is little if any the worse for being cropped so long for the Laine grain.

Entertainment. The entertainment given in the Town Hall last Thursday evening was not very largely attended, the weath- er being most unfavorable. Pauline Johnson and Walt.

Seaforth, Oct, 4,—It was with sor- row that Seaforth learned this morn- ing of the death of John B. Broad - foot, Mayor of Seaforth, Mr. Broad - foot had been troubled for some time with kidney affection. A week ago, in company with his son, he went to Chicago to consult a specialist. .He was advised to enter a hospital and undergo an operation. The operation was performed on Thursday and was supposed to be successful, but the shock was too severe. He gradually sank until about 9 o'clock Saturday night, when he breathed his last. He was 02 years of age. Coming Again to Wingham. If you are ruptured, attend to yourself at once. If your child is rup- tured, do not allow it to grow up in the handicapped by a rupture.

The following is frons a Northwest paper and relates to the marriage of a former W inghain boy :—Fashion and beauty reigned supreme at the very pretty wedding that took place in St, Mary's church, which was prettily de- corated for the occasion. Miss Ethel Stevenson Canniff was wedded to Mr. George McManus of Wetaskiwin. The ceremony was performed by Rev. S. MacMorine and the bride was given away by her father. After the cere- mony had been performed the wedding party drove to the house, where a dainty wedding breakfast was served. The young married couple received the guests in the parlor. The rooms were tastefully decorated and on the tables were placed candelabras, which shed a soft light over the whole room. The happy couple left on their honey- moon trip to the Okanaghan Valley in British Columbia, and on their return will take up their residence at Wetas- kiwin.

At the meeting of the Town Oouncil on Monday evening, 13y-Iaw 490-1903 received its first and second readings. This By-law is the usual form, and if endorsed by the property owners, will authorize the purchase by the Town of the lands, power, plant, ma- chinery, appurtenances etc.. of the Wingham Electric Co. The I3y-Iaw sets forth that the purchase price agreed upon is$28,000, and the amount necessary to repair the plant $2,000 ; hence the total amount required will be $30,000, This is to run thirty years, The By-law shows the assessment of the town to be $020,337.00, and the de- benture debt $70,801.77, none of which is in arrears ; the annual ps.yment necessary is $1731.90. As the income of the plant, into which the town would enter upon passage of the By- law, is said to be about 18,000 annual- ly, there should be handsome profit after providing for the annual pay- ment and cost of inaintenanee. It is the best enterprise the town could undertake, and should prove a profit- able investment, besides giving the town its light and smore too of that than wo are getting at present. For the six street lights now in use, and lighting of the Town Hall,pay we g1? y between $100 and $500. Light is wanted on other streets beside Jose- phine.

Fortunately an honest young man found it on the street and returned it to the owner. The Weather. Rev. Irl Hicks says of October—The Moon is full and at an eclipse node on the Oth ; hence it is quite probable that threatening conditions will last up to that date and that storms will cul- minate on and touching the same day. The Moon is also on the celestial equa- tor on the 5th, another fact that is sure to add promptness and vigor to disturbances about this time. Heavy equatorial storms in the south and north-westerly storms on ocean and lake may be expected. Stiff gales from the northwest, bringing frost to freezing northward, are quite probable toward the end of the above distur- bances; but these may be delayed until after the storm period central on the 9th. Look for early and heavy sleet northward, The 14th, 15th and 16th are reactionary storm days, on which there will come a change to warmer, growing cloudiness, rain, and possible snow in the north and west. The ,next regular storm. period is cen- tral on the 20th, covering the 18tH to the 23rd. A decided change to warm- er, will appear in the west, say about the 18th, and these conditions will move eastwardly, followed by grow- ing cloudiness and storms of rain and wind during the 19th to 23rd. On the west and northwest tangents of these storm areas look for much colder winds and weather, with early snow very probable north of the middle States, Very cool to cold, frosty nights may be expected after these disturbances, touching most parts of the country, progressively, from about the 21st to the 24th. About the 25th and 20th change to warmer with more rain, turning to snow, followed by cool frosty nights up to the end of the month, Send details of your property, and price to 0. J. Maguire, and he will find you a buyer, In The Estimates. The sum of $8,000 has been placed in the parliamentary estimates for a new post -office building in Wingham. That the town requires one is a generally acknowledged fact; that Wingham is as much entitled to one as Clinton is also conceded, and the wonder is— with East Huron's representative so near the base of supplies as to be De- puty Speaker—that we have not had a substantial public building years ago, The member for West Huron secured one for Clinton when only a very short time in the House, besides other public grants. Why Wingham has fared so poorly is a question often asked, $8,000 is only about one-third of the amount necessary to erect a public building for the purpose, but perhaps the Government intends to dole it out to us on the instalment plan, and thus attach a sort of a string to East Huron to prevent it from slipping away, even with East Wawanosh tacked on as a tag (constituencis have been known to wander from the fold), When the new post -office is to be built is not yet divulged, but we hope very soon, We notice, however, that our esteemed postmaster and his assistants are not at all excited at the prospect of a sud- den removal to the new buildings. Where will it be built?—now don't tell. Already real estate in some parts of the town is looking up—skyward in value. So far we have only heard of one citizen, who (for a wonder) does not want it near him, but as his objec- tion is trivial (he objects to the smell arising from dead letters) it may be over -ruled. The Advance hopes that the new post -office will be built, ' and built as soon as possible. With other citizens, we shall be delighted to see it erected, centrally located, properly furnished and the tower provided with a town clock. Money might be far more profitably spent in such a build- ing in Wingham than dumping it into the lake at St. Joseph, and some other places we might name.
