The High School Board found their intention of heating the School with steam would involve an expenditure of nearly or quite $2,000, so they abandoned the idea, and let the con- tract on Monday evening for the in- stallation of two Kelsey furnaces and necessary piping. The contract was secured by J. H. Bugg & Son, at $525. Garden Part . Y• Winghtun Citizens' Band held their first garden party for the season, on Monday evening.

Irl Hicks predicted "decided elects ea I 1 dist • nrbance about June 6th, 7th, 8th, with wind and rain." The storm touched Wingham on the 7th, and was "decided" indeed. The elec- trical displays were terrific, and start- led many a householder. The next morning many telephones were use- less, and no connection could be got on the long-distance wires outside of Wingham. Wm. Spotton, of the 2nd Con. of Howick, had his barn burned. The hog -pen of John McGlynn, Turn - berry, was struck and burned with a number of hogs and about one hun- dred hens. A chimney on the resi- dence of Jas. McGuire, Wingham, was partially demolished, but no serious damage was done in town, though it seemed scarcely possible to escape, so constant were the shooks, The barns of H. Godkin of Zetland, J. Shiell and R. McDowell of East Wawanosh were struck, but not burned. Another storm passed over Wingham the fol- lowing evening, which appeared to be the remnants of the storm that is said to have caused a million dollars dama- ges in southern Ontario; for reference to this, see page seven. Eight deaths are reported as one result of the storm in different localities. This section of country escaped remarkably well.

The interest- ing ceremony was performed at 11 a. m., by Rev. Dr. Gundy. The happy couple were unattended, and after the ceremony received the congratula- tions of the guests. Then all sat down, to a tasty wedding luncheon. Mr. and Mrs. Watters left by the afternoon train on their wedding tour. On their return, they will reside in Wingham.

High School Opening. Wingham Hight School will open September lst, We emphasize this, because, s n notwithstanding w h tending tiro fact that we have announced it repeated- ly, there are some who think it will not open until the new building is completed. To finally dispel this de- lusion, we once more make the an- nouneement that Wingham Higlt School will open September 1st, in three rooms of the Public School, with (for the present) three teachers in charge. The work taken up will include Junior and Senior Leaving, and Junior and Senior Matriculation, so that pupils desirous of entering the classes will have all the advantages of the School from September 1st. Three rooms are all that tan be spared from the Public School at present, but the classes will be fully organized and equipped, and considerable progress may be rade by the time the new building is ready for occupancy. Stu- dents who intend attending any High School should remember that Wing - ham School is going to be in the front tank, ONT., TI URSD.AY, JUNE 14, 1906, More And More. As Rev. Hicks predicted the electr•i cal storms of last Thursday and Fri day so correctly, it might be well to review what he says is likely to hap, pen this week, He says -"About 11th to 10th is a centre of terrestrial elec. tilt excitement, and is sure to bring severe disturbances of the atmos- phere. The crisis will fall within 48 hours of sunset on the 12th, culminat- ing before midnight on the 14th, In some places hail, in other places, cloudbursts and tornadoes may be ex- pected. Violent and sudden change to cooler will follow, and in the north- western mountains, snow squalls, and in the northern States, possible frosts between the 14th and 18th." Married June 6th. A pretty June wedding was a social event of importance on Juno 6th, in Portage la Prairie, when Wm. R. Orr, formerly of Wingham (son of Mr. Alex. Orr) but now of the furniture department of Brown's Limited, was united in marriage to Miss Katherine Fulford second tenet daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Fairbairn. The bride was handsomely attired and was attended by her sister, Miss Edna, while Mr. S. Garland performed the duties of groomsman. The ceremony was per- formed by Rev. T. Fraser, pastor of Knox Church. The presents were many and valuable. Among then was a substantial cheque from the bride's father, and a handsome oak clock from the employees of Brown's Limited. Many kind wishes are ex- pressed for the future happiness of Mr. and Mrs. Orr. Farmers' Institute. • East Huron Farmers' Institute and • Pure Seed Institute will be held in Brussels, on Friday, June 22nd. The field meeting will be held on James Burgess' farm east of Brussels, to be followed by a meeting in the Town Hall, The farmers of the surrounding country should not miss these meet- ings. Mr. Rennie, a well known seedsntan of Toronto, will be there to address the meeting. Water in Demand. As will be seen by the minutes of Council, the Water Mechanic of the G. T. R. has made enquiry as to the cost of a supply of Town water for the Company's locomotives at Wingham station. The Council has offered the necessary supply for $125.00 per annum. There is also a large number of citizens, who would use the town water, if it were available for their use. The difficulty seems to be, that in submitting the By-law, the Coun- cil made no allowance for extensions, and asked for no more than was abso- lutely necessary. Now that the citi- zens (on some streets not traversed by mains) want water, the Council finds itself without waterworks funds wherewith to retake the extensions and connections. To secure a re- venue, there must be a sufficient num- ber of water -takers, and these cannot be secured until further connections are made. There will be no question as to the waterworks paying, when the Council is in a position to furnish water to all who desire it. WANTED.—Eggs, 20c ; Pedlars' Re- vised Tariff. 100 tubs Choice Grass Butter wanted at once.—G. E. KING. Little Boy Killed. Passengers on the excursion train that passed through Wingham on Friday last for Niagara Falls, were saddened by the death of a little four- year-old boy, who was killed by the train near Woodbridge. His name Was Plunkett, and it seems he had strolled from home on to the track. As soon as possible, • the train was stopped and the mangled little form picked up. Dr. H. D. W. Tamlyn of Wingham was on the train and ex- amined the little fellow. He had evi- dently been struck by the engine, for his skull was fractured. When picked up he was just living and wizen they started to carry him home he died. He was apparently asturdy little chap in short skirts. Just as the train left, the station the mother of the child, who must have witnessed the acci- dent, was seen running towards the child, crying out, "My only boy is killed, what will I do 1" Dr. Tamlyn said the engineer had evidently seen the child, judging by the prompt man- ner in which he stopped the train, but not soon enough to save the child's life. Souvenir China. A. pretty assortment of Souvenir China has been opened at the "Big Book Store" by Miss K. M. Fisher, The scenes es carryone back in thought ght to an early stage In the history of Wingham. They show a view of Fishers' milldam built in 1860, by Mr. I uslet, our efficient postmaster, and his brother, Archibald, now living in Paisley. This was followed by the erection of a fine grist mill and wool- len factory. These were, unfortunate- ly, destroyed by fire in 1875, but after- wards rebuilt, The waterpower is now owned by the Town and used to run the Electric Light. There is also a view of Gregory's dam, erected in 1802, by John Gregory, now deceased, brother of Thos. Gregory of Wing - ham. This waterpower is also owned by the Town, and used as the source of supply for fire protection, factory, lawns, sanitary and other purposes. As the erection of these dams had no small influence in laying the founda- tion of the prosperity of Wingham, the china souvenirs of them deserve a plate in every home, its a memento of the early history of Oils torten. What's the good of keeping from him . Any good things you may see, That will lift his load of labor Like Reeky Mountain Tea, Ask reqs deog$Iet Arm Torn Off. The Owen Sound Times gives the following account of the accident that befell Alex. Holmes, brother of Mr. Wm. Holmes, of Wingham :—"By the greatest good fortune Mr. Alex. Hohnes, a Paynter street resident and an employe of the Sun Portland Cement Company, limited, is alive to- day. As it is, he is minus his right arm as a result of being caught in the shafting in the slurry room of that company's plant early Wednesday morning. Holmes, who is a man about fifty-three years of age, was alone in the slurry room and was on an improvised platform engaged in re- placing a big belt on a swift revolving pulley. In some way his hand slipped and caught and instantly he was whirled round the shaft and the right arm literally torn from the socket at the shoulder. Several ribs were al- so fractured and he was more or less cut and bruised by the terrible ex- perience. Nevertheless it is a miracle that he escaped without fatal injuries. He never lost consciousness and with the greatest nerve coolly called a fel- low employee from the next room. When Mr. Dates, the manager, arriv- ed on the scene a few minutes later, after hastily summoning a physician, Holmes coolly picked up the severed member and with the gt•imest humor remarked, that he guessed he had lost his arm. He was attended by Dr. Howey and was conveyed to the general and marine hospital in the ambulance." At last accounts, Mr. Holmes was doing nicely. His bro- ther, David, of Turnberry, spent a few days with him. tm . SHOES THAT TAr.It.—To those who know Shoe quality we want only a chance to show our new lines. They speak for themselves.—R. Johnston's Boot and Shoe store. Rev. W. 0. Howson. The Advance endeavored to secure a portrait of Rev. W. G. Howson, who will succeed Rev. Dr. Gundy, as pastor of Wingham Methodist Church, but we• have not succeeded. We may, however, by way of intro- ducing Mr. Howson to our readers, give the following :— Mr. Howson is of English parent- age, being born in the town of Lan- caster, England. His father was a wholesale and retail leather merchant. When Ile was only three weeks old, his mother died. His father married again, and he was brought up by his stepmother, who proved to be a most loving and helpful mother to the young boy. From his earliest year's, his training was Methodistic in its in- fluences. His father and stepmother were both Class -leaders in the Wes- • leyan Methodist Church, and his fath- er was a Sunday School Superin- tendent for many -years. He comes of good stock, counting among his an- cestors, the late Dr. Howson, Dean of Chester Cathedral, England. Mr. Howson began to preach at seventeen years of age, and was known as the "boy preacher." At 20 years of age, lie was brought to Canada by the -late Rev. Dr. Morley Punshon, who placed him at work at once on the old Albion circuit. He was ordained in the town of Piston, in 1875, Dr. Wood being President of the Conference at the time. He chose as his life partner, Miss Elizabeth Nixon, daughter of Mr. Henry Nixon of Mono Road. She received her education in Hamilton Ladies' College, under the presidency of the hate Dr. Rice. Mr. Howson's family consists of four daughters and an adopted boy. The eldest daughter is married and resides in the far west. The second daughter has been a Dea- coness for four years, and is now nursing in Toronto, preparatory to entering the mission field in China. The remaining two daughters are at home. Mr. Howson has had charge of important stations, including Mea - ford, Clinton, Askin Street, London, and others. He is recognized as one of the most eloquent preachers in the London Conference, is a faithful worker, and evangelistic in his efforts. Ho will commence his pastorate in Wingham, on Sunday, July 1st, and will no doubt ably and successfully carry on the work, so well brought to its present satisfactory conditions by previous pastors. Mr. Howson will be delighted to have the hearty sym- pathy and active co-operation of the entire membership. In this he is not likely to be disappointed.
