33RD YEAR, NO. 39.
EDITORIAL TH1NKLETS.
Talk about the Israelites making
brick without straw. That task is
easy compared with getting out a
newsy, readable paper, when every-
thing is "rale kwiet," and "Nailing
dein." Hence these "Thinklet" para-
graphs,
Many people seem lost because there
is no celebration of July 12th in Wing -
ham, this year, We have had enquiry
after enquiry. Well, it is a sort of
"off year," leaving every lodge free to
go where it pleases. 'Wingham is not
selfish, or we might have had a cele-
bration here, and everybody knows
that we could do it well. But "where
shall we go" is the question yet to be
decided by many lodges that would
have been pleased to rally at Wing -
ham.
Do you live on a street along which
the town water -mains are laid? If so,
you areor
fortunate for •o can tapthe
you
main at a slight cost, while the other
fellows must do without water for
sanitary or garden purposes, or go to
increased expense to get it. It isn't
fair ; but what can be done ? In such
cases, the Town should lay the small
street main along any street, where
the majority of the property holders
agree to take water. Put every rate-
payer on the same footing. Equal
rights to all ; and thus increase the
number of water -takers.
Do you know any news, we asked a
citizen? The answer was-"ICick the
Grand Trunk." "What for" said the
reporter. "For cutting the towers off
the new station." Sure enough, the
towers are gone. It seems that some
official came along, and the towers
with their massive galvanized iron
spheres, did not appeal to his ideas of
the esthetic, so they were chopped off.
Now, suppose it was a new design and
a little out of the ordinary, the towers
were all right, and nobody in Wing -
ham complained of them. The report
that the discarded galvanized iron
g "gas are to be used as " as reser-
voirs" at the High School Board is
(we are pleased to say) not correct ; in
fact, there is not a word of truth in it.
There is general satisfaction at the
action of Wingham High School
Board, in deciding to engage teachers
very soon, and open the class imme-
diately after the summer vacation.
There will be no need for pupils to go
away to other towns, or otherwise
lose four months' study. They can
commence at once, under good teach-
ers (for the Board is after the hest)
and by the time the High School
building is ready for occupation, the
classes will be well advanced. Be-
sides, the arrangement will not be a
losing one financially to the town.
But if the High School building is not
g g
completed at the end of the year,
there will be a different aspect of af-
fairs. The High School Board think a
penalty of $20 a day will material-
ly help the contractor to "get a
move on."
There was an explosion of several
tons of dynamite at Cobalt last week,
that wrecked nearly all the houses in
that new town and caused very heavy
loss. The noise of the explosion was
-iF` tremendous, and the shock was felt
twenty-five miles. But that wasn't a
patch to the shock Canada will get, if
ninny more scandals are unearthed at
Ottawa. The fall of the Laurier tower
is being forgotten in the "march of
events" that really smell strong, as
well as look bad. Sir Wilfrid should
call down some of the evil -doers.
Other governments have been wreck-
ed by "grafters," and the present Do-
minion administration should take
warning by the fall of previous gov-
ernments, and place the interests of
the people foremost, and put the graf-
ter last, or better still, out of business
altogether.
As to where the greatest honor is
due, there is a difference of opinion.
Conn. McDonald thinks he saved the
Town $100 (spot cash too) by his
scheme on the street watering, while
Conn. D. Bell, thinks he's the real
stuff" because ..
he did not want the
front street to pay more than its or-
dinary taxes, which are heavier on
thefront street,when business tax is
taken into consideration. Then Coun.
Forbes wants to know where he
comes in. Didn't ire hold the balance
of power between the two Daves ?
Which of the three will win out in the
contest for the Mayoralty next Janu-
ary, we cannot say. However, the
streets are being wet, and the Council-
lors are free to tackle another great
question. I3nt the fellows that shell-
ed out the $100 think they are entitled
to some credit also. Besides, what
about Conn. Hanna, who took up the
collection.

Victoria Day.
In memory of the late Queen Vic-
toria, May 24th is still observed in
Canada, perhaps not so enthusiastic-
ally as when Britain's grand old
Queen lived. Yet as the day rolls
round, fond memories of her long and
useful reign, as well as her noble life,
are awakened in loyal hearts.

A Vacancy.
By the death of Wm. Wilson, Esq.,
there is a vacancy created on the East
Huron Board of License Commission-
ers. The Advance ventures to sug-
gest that Mr. Robs. Musgrove, of
Bluevale, would worthily fill the gap,
if he could be induced to accept the
position. Besides, he has been a
faithful, political worker and his ser-
vices deserve some recognition.
SITUATION WANTED. -A young wo-
man lately from England, competent
for general house work wants a situa-
tion. Apply at the Advance Office.
Increase In Price.
The Toronto News and Toronto Star
have increased their subscription rates
front $1.00 to $1.50. They are both
good papers, but at the old price were
published at it loss so far as subscrip-
tions were concerned. This necessi-
tates a change in our clubbing
rate.
In future, the News and Star will be
clubbed with the Advance at $1.30, or
the Advance and either of the others,
at $2.30, instead of $1.90 as before.
An Excellent Speech.
On page '4 will be found the address
of Dr. T. Chisholm, M. P. for East
Huron, on the Northwest Lands ques-
tion. His friends and supporters will
no clottbt peruse it with pleasure. He
has received many congratulations on
the speech from members of the
House. The Ottawa Journal in re-
ferring to it says :-"Dr. Chisholm,
the Conservative member for• East
]Inion, surprised the House on Friday
by one of the neatest speeches made
clueing the debate on the homestead
situation. All the forceful atrgutnents
are not trade by the front benchers."
A Prediction.
An old landmark, 82 years old, of
Southern Ontario, retakes the predic-
tion that the present year will be the
best yet for a prolific production of
grain, vegetables and fruits of all
kinds. He bases his optimistic asser-
tion on reasons that have not failed in
his experience, and he prophesies
lnanper crops generally. The frost,
lie says, came out of the ground to a
great depth when the warm spell
came in February and the after frosts
have had practically no damaging
effect upon the fall wheat, which is
sometimes killed by the frost in the
upheaval of the ground during the
early spring months.

Confirmation Service.
The Right Rev. David Williams, I).
1)., Bishop of Huron, paid his second
annual visit to the parish. of Wingham
last week. lie confirmed a class of
eighteen, all adults, who were received
into fall communion with the Church.
A largo congregation was present, and
the Bishop preached an eloquent and
practical sermon. His Lordship, dur-
ing his stay here was the guest of Mr.
Thos. Bell. He left on Thursday for
Gorrie, accompanied by the Rev. T. S.
Boyle, returning to Winahatn the
same evening, leaving for Exeter
early Friday .morning. The Bishop
expressed his pleasure at finding St.
Paul's congregation in such good con-
dition.
Ordination Council.
Next Friday, the 25th, at 2.80, a
Council consisting of the pastor and
two laymen from each Church in the
Walkerton Association, together with
Rev. Dr, ('toys, Rev. W. E. Norton of
Toronto and Rev, J. O'Niel of Paisley,
will meet in Wingham Baptist church
to consider the advisability of setting
apart Pastor Fitch to the work of the
gospel ministry. If the Council is
satisfied with Mr, Fiteh's views of
truth and his call to the ministry, an
evening session will probably be held
to formally ordain hits. A cordial in-
vitation is extended to all friends, to
be present at the afternoon session,
and if one is held, to the evening ses-
sion also.

Lacrosse Match.
On Thursday, May 24th, there will
be a Lacrosse match on the Town
park ; game called at 3,30 p. m, The
contesting teams will bo the Bruce
Boys of Kincardine and the Maple
Leafs of Wingham. As there is noth-
ing else of interest going on here that
day, the Maple Leafs should have
good gate receipts to give thein a
start for the season.
District Meeting.
Dr. Gundy and Jno Kerr (the latter
as lay delegate from Wingham) at-
tended the District meeting in Brus-
sels on 'Wednesday, The Chairman
of District (Dr. Gundy) is a member of
the Stationing Committee by virtue of
his office. The district meeting elects
by ballot a minister from the district
to the same Committee. The Laymen
meet separately when they elect lay
delegates to the annual Conference.
They
Are Satisfied.
The Chesley Enterprise says :-The
Legislative grant this year to Chesley
H. S. is $585.25 which is $121.08 more
than in 1905. As the County Council
must supplement this grant it means
$243.30 more revenue for our High
School than last year. This is fulfill-
ing the expectations of the advocates
of the establishment of a H. S. in this
village. The grant will no doubt go
above the $000 mark next year. The
municipal levy by the Board this year
will be at least $500 less than in 1905.
What's the matter with the High
School? It's all right.
Lightning Did This.
Quite recently, the old Mohawk
church, near Deseronto, was struck
by lightning and destroyed. Mr. Robt.
McMurrray, of Morris, attended this
church when he was a boy. In it was
aL Silver Communion Service, present-
ed to the Church by Queen Anne. On
Thursday last, the lightning struck
the barn of Jas. Nicholson, 4th line of
Morris, splitting the roof and knock-
ing some of the boards off the rafters.
The same day, the barn belonging to
Jno. McLean, 9th line, East Wawa -
nosh,
'' aL wa L -
nosh, was struck and the roof damaged
to the extent of $50. Fortunately,
neither of the barns took fire from the
electric fluid.
Are your glasses right? Vision

& Son at the Queen's Hotel on Tues.

Decease Of Relative.
Last week, Mr. and Airs. J. J. Mit-
chell attended the funeral of a bro-
ther-in-law, Mr. David McNicol, of
Usborne township, who died on the
11th inst., aged 51. He was a man of
advanced views, a great reader, and
possessing a retentive memory, he
was always interesting to converse
with; and, while being eccentric in
some ways, he was a man of sterling
qualities, big hearted, and a trusty
friend. Previous to his recent illness
he was an excellent specimen of the
type of reran, fostered and raised in
his native land (Scotland) being par-
ticularly hardy, robust, and healthy.
Notwithstanding his great physical
vigor, in November last he was afflict-
ed with diabetes and gradually wan-
ing, he sank until death clairned him.
He leaves behind a sorrowing widow
and eight of a family.
Worth Trying.
Here is a simple and valuable recipe
-a medicinal bath for the nervously
worn, and those who cannot sleep at
nights. It is the prescription of an
old physician : Take of sea salt four
ounces, splt'its of ammonia two
ounces, spirits of camphor two ounces,
of pure alcohol eight ounces, tinct suf-
ficient hot water to make a full quart
of the liquid. Dissolve the sea salt in
the hot water and let it stand until
cool. Pour into the alcohol the spirits
of ammonia and camphor. Add the
salt water, shake well and bottle for
rise. With a soft sponge clipped in
this tui ttnre wet over the surface of
the whole body. Rub vigorously
until the skin glows. 'Viten nervous
or "blue" or wakeful, do not omit this
bath. The relief and invigoration
that follow will amply repay the ef-
fort regthed to prepare it. This mix-
ture is good for anyone, and keeps the
body clean,

Beat The Horse.
The Clinton New Era says :-"Rev.
Mr. Gandy, of Wingham, does not
look like a inan who. can sprint very
fast, but we can testify to the fact
that he would make it interesting for
Wren of less avoirdupois. He and Rev.
W. E. Kerr tarried at the parsonage
Monday morning, being on his way
home to Winghamlam from Godetich
,
and Mr. Kerr improvised a grocers
horse with which to reach the sta-
tion. Those who saw the horse going'
say that it would not be hind to
sustain a charge of furious driving
against clerics. However, when a
block from the station, Mr. Gundy
jumped out of the rig, and struck a
pace that would have won out in any
athletic competition. He caught his
train, but then Conductor McCallum
good-naturedly waited a moment or
two for Min."

vised Tariff. 100 tubs Choice Grass
Butter wanted at once. -G. E. KING.
Not As Reported.
The report current last week in
town that two men had been killed at
St. Helens, turned out to be an error,
caused by misunderstanding a tele-
phone message. The Advance regrets
having given currency to it, as we are
always very careful, but in this case
the mistake was not through any
fault of ours, as we received the word
direct from the relatives in town. The
facts are -that one of the sons of Mr.
and Mrs. McDonald (nephew of Mrs.
Monk) died that day from pneumonia,
and in receiving the message over the
phone, it was understood that two had
been killed. Mrs. Monk at once drove
to St. Helens, believing the message
as it had been received, until she
reached the house. Thera she found
that there had been a mistake, but
that one of her nephews had passed
away. It was sad enough as it was,
but it would have been much worse,
had the message, as it was understood,
proved to be true. Errors may easily
be made in a moment of excitement
by persons not accustomed to using
the telephone.
