B, A N 4 THE WINGHAM ADVANCE Mitoriat ---With Insurance investigations the London bribery case, and the wrecking of the Ontario Bank, and a few bye -elections, Ontario should not complain of a dull season, . -The bye -election for Shelburne - Queens riding, where Hon. W, S. Fielding was unseated, will he held Oct. Sist, Dr, Weldon will be the Conservative candidate for this elec- tion, --During August the United States' exports of canned beef were only 700,- 000 lbs., as against over five million pounds for the corresponding month last year. This is directly traceable to the Ohieago exposures, �. --Principal Gordon, of Queen's, in an article in the Quarterly, deploring the corruption in politics, calls for the leading men in both parties to create an anti -bribery fund to be used in prosecuting cases of corruption. .. -If the account is correct, the strenuousness and the abounding vi- tality of President Roosevelt have been expressed by no one with more aptness than by his own wife. A man in Washington was trying to secure a plaster cast of the President's face. "How long would it take to make the cast ?" Mrs. Roosevelt asked. "Twen- ty minutes," was the reply." "That settles it," answered Mrs. Roosevelt. "No human power could induce my husband to remain still for twenty minutes." „*. -Political rascality has been for so long a part of the average election campaign, and has run so little risk of punishment, that the average elector has come to regard election crooked- ness as a joke. If Hon. Mr. Whitney can demonstrate to the Province that election rascality is a crime, and that the perpetrators of such acts must lay their account for stern prosecution, and severe punishment, he will be doing the greatest public service that has been done in a generation. The sight of afew election crooks doing time in striped suits is a spectacle that is very urgently needed to bring the public sentiment of this Province back to the proper point of view. -It is a startling fact, but a true one, says The Review of Reviews, that every year 120,000 children die in Eng- land and Wales before they have at- tained their first birthday. They are cut off on the very threshold of life. Besides this annual° slaughter of the innocents, the massacre which made King Herod. infamous pales into in- significance. Think of it! One hun- dred and twenty thousand infant lives sacrificed every year to neglect and ignorance ! Out of every 100,000 in- fants born, 17,139 do not live to see their first birthday, and nearly 25,000 succumb before their fifth ; while of the total of 500,000 annual deaths, one quarter are of children who have lived "but a handful of days." * Says the Bobcaygeon Independent - "Surgery is being carried to such a point that the time is near at hand when a man will go into dry dock periodicaIIy and have his inside fixing overhauled and renewed. At the re- cent meetingof the Medical Congress, two dogsaand two cats having in their bodies transplanted kidneys, formerly belonging to other dogs and cats, were exhibited and the operations explain- ed and discussed. Limbs of eats and guinea -pigs had also been cut off and put on again. It is on record that a man is living who had his stomach taken away, and is doing very nicely without it. It is not at all improbable that when a man's kidney's get used up, he will simply have them replaced with a pair of sheep kidneys, and go on again fresh as ever. •Surgery is ac- complishing wonderful work, with the aid of modern antiseptics." a * -Such wrecking of a (supposedly) solid financial institution as the On- tario Bank suggests that our govern- mental inspection of Banks is sadly deficient. There must be a lack of thorough insight and oversight of monetary institutions, vise a Bank's millions could not disappear, as mist before a midday sun, and no one be conscious of it until the crash comes. Falsifying of statements and reports, or misappropriation of a million or more dollars should be impossible by any one (even n, general manager) or if not impossible, should be easily de- tected before either embezzlement or fraud or mad speculation goes sa far, as to cause aBanking institution to go down and out of sight in so short a time. A thorough inspection by a keen, practical accountant at regular intervalss would surely detect the leak- age before; the whole institution goes to wreck. Such occurrences unsettle the public confidence, for if one Bank's assets disappear, those of another may go the same way. It is gratify- ing of course to know that the guilty parties shall have to appear in the Courts but that cannot undo the in. jury dons. Perhaps the investigation may shed some light ori the nietboda, puttied by aome in charge of our f(nanafal institutions. Foe stealing a. 1 $10 bill, an ordinary man 'will go to gaol. The Bank manager that Drakes to free with a million or more of other p eoplc"a money ehoalcl meet hie deatrte without fear or favor. A salt of black broadcloth, silk hat, gold - headed cruse, and rooming at a faeh- Ioaable hotel, should not leeeen the penalty. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1906 Items -Local option will be voted on it three townships zn Huron county viz. ; Norris,. Stanley aind Usborne The temperance people of Grey and Tuckersxnith have not yet decided, --Despite the fact that Prince Ed- ward te, as a result of dairying and fruit -growing, one of the most pros- perous counties in Ontario, there are no less than seven farms for sale in one school section there, -Two stallions belonging to Mr. T, Skinner, of Mitchell, got loose in the barn yard the other day and a terrific fight followed. A number of xnen fin- ally got the brutes parted. The horses were badly cut and bruised, but not seriously hurt. -Michigan farmers will, it is ex- pected, receive $0,000,000 for sugar beets this year, and, that Colorado will produce 1,500,000 tons --a. third more than last season, In California beets are testing 13 to 20 per cent, sugar, and quality 80 to 90 per cent. -The Canadian Pacific Railway has just given notice that it will book travellers for a trip half way round the world, to be made in 30 days, with only two changes. This means 12,000 miles under one flag and one ticket, with baggage checked right through. -A pitiful case is reported by the Montreal Herald. A Iran named Le- clair, a railway brakeman, was sued for $7, the amount of a month's rent. After the case had been disposed of, it was found that the man owed $18, in- stead of $7, $11 having been added in the shape of legal fees, bailiff's, and .court fees. The unfortunate man at the time was lying in the hospital with both legs, his arm, and the thumb of his left hand off, the result of di accident. His wife was without money, and without any immediate prospect that her husband would be ,able to earn any for her. She manag- ed, however, to serape up a dollar. which she paid into court in partial satisfaction of the claim. It was not enough, and so a seizure was put upon the Grand Trunk Railway Company for a few dollars of wages that were still coining to the mutilated brake- man. Corporations are said to have no souls, but the Grand Trunk lawyer replied with a statement of the un- fortunate brakeman's condition, and a quotation from Burns' poem, "Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn." Not even Burns, however, was able to check the pur- suit of the pouhd of flesh, and the Grand Trunk, reluctantly enough, we are told, paid into court the money required. This happened in a Chris- tian country. • - �. : Clinton. Mr. D. Cantelon now has eighty amen in his employ as buyers and packers of apples. The greater num- ber are in Huron, but his operations extend over several counties. The first locomotive ever seen in the Wrest entered Winnipeg on the 8th of October, 1877. Great has been the de- velopment in the West in thirty years. And the man who took We locomotive there was the late Jos. Whitehead, of this town. On Friday Iast, Mr. French, Super- intendent of the House of Refuge, took two inmates of the Hoase, who were of unsound mind, to the Asylum at London. At Centralia he picked up another former inmate of the House, in the same condition, and took him also. The new staff for the Collegiate has now been engaged and is as follows :- Principal and Science Master, A. P. Gundry, $1400; Classic, C. McKinnon, $1000; Moderns and English, Miss CIayton, $1000 ; Mathematics, Miss Delmage, $800 ; Commercial, Miss Waterworth, $700. A man named Archer, and two sis- ters, from near Cleveland, were here this week to try and locate the burial place of a brother, who was interred in the unsurveyed part of the ceme- tery some 40 years ago. It seems that the family resided here in 1866, on Victoria St., and the brother was kill- ed in a railroad accident. As no re- -cord is kept of burials in this part of the cemetery, they were not able to locate the spot. In 1896 one of our professional men advanced a small stun of money to a friend in the county town; some time afterwards this friend sent as security y a certificate for a 100 shares in a Gold dining Co. in Vancouver. This was put to one side and considered by the recipient of very little value, But the other day on looking over the daily paper he was quite surprised to see that the stock was worth $10 a share, thus making the certificate worth $1,- 000 with accrued dividends. Negotia- tions have beenPe n d o e for a sale and no doubt there will be a divide.

W, S. Kearns of that village, had a barn burned last July which was insured in the Howick Fanners' Mutual. Reports were abroad that Kearns had not the quantity of articles in his barn for the insurance, ou which he received $1,- 875. The company brought suit. The case was dismissed, the company paying the costs. A former respected resident of the 6th Iine, Howick, west of Fordwich, Stewart Mosgrove, who moved to Es- sex county about 16 years ago, passed over to the silent majority on Sept. 21st.
