Heating Apparatus.
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,

Garden Part .
Y•
Winghtun Citizens' Band held their
first garden party for the season, on
Monday evening. Unfortunately, the
weather turned uncomfortably cool,
and this seriously affected the attend-
ance, but all things considered, the ef-
fort wag very successful. The Band
furnished an excellent program of
music, and the members are grateful
to the citizens for their patronage,
oven on so cool an evening. The re-
ceipts will probably net the Baud
about $40. The holder of the winning
ticket number was Miss Annie Smale,

Thursday's Storm.
Rev. 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.

Pretty June Wedding.
On Wednesday, 13th inst., a pretty
matrimonial event was the chief at-
traction at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. George Wynn, Frances street,
when their daughter, Miss Melissa
became the bride of Mr. David Wat-
ters, also of Wingham. 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.
The Advance extends congratula-
tions.

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.

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.

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.
