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.

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.

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. ONT., THURSDAY, MAY • 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 changes as all things do. See Taube & Son at the Queen's Hotel on Tues. day and Wednesday, May 29 and 80. A Friend Gone. The Advance sincerely regrets to hear of the death of its esteemed friend, Wm. Nilson, Esq., of Wrox- eter, referred to under Wroxeter items. Mr. Wilson was a warm friend of the Advance, and by his death this paper has lost a faithful and reliable correspondent. To his bereaved widow we c tenderi s uteronth ' s •nt 3 p Y• Mr. Wilson contributed items weekly to our columns and never wrote any- thing to offend or injure. The inter- ests of 'Wroxeter were e e dea • t' . t o inn and the Advance was a favorite paper with him. We shall miss his weekly budgets ; they were always newsy, and sure to be on time. Who will worthily fill the vacancy on our staff caused by itis unexpected demise ? Come 'Wroxeter, keep to the front in our columns. 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, Molt'tci:tsah; Fon SAL E. --A first mort- gage of $3,000 is offered for sale.

Leckie, baker, has purchased from Mr's, Niergarth, the property ocenpied by him, and known as the North End Bakery. These transfers were made through the agency of J. H. Chisholm, Real Estate Agent. 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." WANTED. -Eggs, 20c; Pedlars' Re- 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. Death Of Mrs. Davidson. A lady a that was well 1l kn ov n in Wingham, Mrs. Robt.

The town of Cobourg is practically insolvent, it is said. It has an indebt- edness of $280,000 already, and all the taxes it can raise merely meet the in- terest on the debentures already issued. The Advance has been informed on good authority, that License Inspec- tor Bryan, of Lucknow, will soon va- cate the office, and that his successor is to be a gentleman named Canning, of Walkerton.
