At the celebration of Rev. Dr. Mc-

Father Cook, of St. Mary's Roman
Catholic church had a seat on the
platform, and was one of the speakers.
In the course of his aaddress, Father
Cook said that Dr. McMullenhad
preached the broad doctrine of the
cross and the spirit of Christ. He
said: "We hope that as the Lord has
blessed him in the ministry He will
bless him now ; when he goes to his
Father may his departure be a
glorious sunset. Ile has heen an ex-
ample for all to follow, and his life
has been a benediction. He has labor -
sad With en eye single to the Master's
service." This was a generous tribute
to a Protestant minister, and express-
ed exactly the relation that ought to
prevail between the clergy of
the Catholic and the Protestaut
churches,

ing. Her maiden suttee wee Elizabeth -

By A Big Majority.
"On Tuesday, Nov. Oth, the State
elections of Washington were held
and J. Winchester Callicotte, Repub-
lican candidate for County Proseeut•
ing Attorney, was elected by a inajori-
ty of • two hundred votes over the
Democratic candidate. Mr. Callicotte
now holds the offices of Clerk and City
Attorney of Prosser, Wash„ as well
as being Prosecuting Attorney of the
county." This refers to the husband

Married In Manitoba.
Miss Alice Hawking (formerly of
Wingham) was married on October
24th, at the residence' of her brother,
Mr. John Hawking, Ninga, Man., to
Mr. Peter Johnston of Winnipeg.
The bride was handsomely gowned in
'white silk. After the ceremony, fifty
guests enjoyed the rich wedding ban-
quet; then Mr. Geo. Robinson pro-
posed the toast of "the bride," referr-
ing to the high esteem in which she
was held in church and social circles.
Among the array of wedding gifts
was a well-filled purse from Mr. John
Hawking. Mr. and Mrs. Johnston
will reside in Buchanan, Sask.
County Council.
The session of the County Council
which convenes next Tnesday will be
the last under the present arrange-
ments. The new County Councils'
Act will come into force, and the
Council of 1007 will be composed of
the Reeves of the various municipali-
ties, and where the population is suf-
ficiently large enough, of the deputy -
reeve also. The next Council will
therefore he touch larger than the pre-
sent, which consists of two repre-
sentatives from each of the eight
divisions, or sixteen. As there are
twenty-six municipalities in Huron
county, our next County Council will
have at least twenty-six members,
and probably more, for there may be
some municipalities in the county,
that are entitled to send their deputy -
reeve. It is said that "In the multi-
tude of counsellors there is wisdom."
Whether this will extend to Huron's
new Council or not remains to he
seen.

DEAR Borrow -The Union Sunday
School at Holmes' school house, Turns
berry, closed for the season on Nov.
25th, tinder the superintendency of
Mr. John ICerr, Wingham. On be-
half of the school we wish to convey
our gratitude and thankfulness to our
superintendent for his untiring efforts
during the last five years in educating
the children in the troths of the Gos-
pel. Under his leadership, the school
has always been of an harmonious
tone, and steadily inereasing in every
department, and to -day it is one of
the most up-to-date Sunday schools in
the country, Although Mr. Kerr has
absented himself from his own Sun-
day school, the result of his labors
have been exceedingly appreciated,
and his reward is waiting. Signed on
behalf of the Sunday school -.-Win, S.

Extending Baisiiess.
Ganes', Limited, Toronto, wholesale
dealers in farmers' produce, whose
Wingham branch is 'smudged by C.
3. Graham, are extending their busi-
ness, and will have in operation this
week a most up-to-date plant for the
killing of hogs, cattle, and the pre-
paration of bees and general fresh
and cured meat products. This estab-
lishment is situated at Toronto Junc-
tion, .convenient to the Union Stock
Yards. Its railway facilities are also
good, as it has two sidings running in-
to it, The grounds are six acres in ex-
tent, and contain an extensive group
of fine buildings. The capacity of this
concern will be about 6,000 hogs and
1,000 cattle per week. With its ex-
cellent sanitary arrangements and its
un -to -date equipments, it is quite safe
to predict a most successful career for
this industry..
See them, and get price surprises,
which will please you, in Mens and
Boys' Clothing and Funishings-at

Rioting In Hamilton.
The strike among the street -car men
in Hamilton assumed a serious aspect
last week. Cars were demolished,
store windows smashed, and an at-
tempt was made to dynamite the
barns of the company. The police
were powerless to control the mobs,
and as soon as a stone -thrower was ar-
rested, the policeman making the ar-
rest was attacked, and the prisoner
liberated. The city authorities prov-
ed utterly helpless to restore order,
and troops were hurried from Toronto
and London. On Saturday night a
frenzied mob of thousands gathered,
scores of citizens and police were in-
jured, and the hospitals and cells were
filled with victims. At least one
death occurred from a blow. All this
in the so-called "Christian" city of
Hamilton, in peaceful Canada, and in
the twentieth century. For further
particulars see page 7.
Cold Storage Important.
During the debate on the .Address in
the House of Commons last week, Dr.
Chisholm, ALP, for East Huron, de-
livered an excellent speech on the
important subject of Cold Storage, in
which he is so much interested. Dr.
Chisholm hats gathered a fund of in-
formation on this subject, and mar-
shalled his facts in excellent form.
When he had concluded his address,
Mr. R. L. Bordeu, Leader of the Op-
position, walked over to him and con-
dratulated him on his speech. As evi-
ence that Dr. Chisholm's efforts for
the farmers will not prove unavailing,
the may say that the :Minister of Agri-
culture paid hire as compliment by an-
nouncing that the Government in-
tended to induce a measure to extend
the cold storage system. There is a
taint of money for the fanners of On-
tario in a complete system of cold
storage, and Dr. Chisholm deserves
support, and also credit for: repeatedly
bringing this matter to the attention
of the Government. He now has the
promise of ameasure being submitted.
The Advance hopes to give the doc-
tor'sspeech in full next week.

Electric Light Pleat,
This year, the Executive committee
of the Council has made a heavy ex-
penditure in per
nanent improvement
of the plant and line extensions, The
eonunitteo hope to bo able to meet
this oxpendittre out of the income
from light users. If they do this, the
committee will deserve the .thanks of
the citizens for the exeellent; nian-
ngeinent. Sonne future time, it might
be wise to take luta consideration the
supply of power to the industries of
the tow», Why have to secure power
from Niagara or even Goderich, when
the town owns two excellent water -
powers, stud an electric plant, that
lies idle all day P
Bible Society. Meeting.
The annual meeting of Wingham
branch Bible Society was held in the
Presbyterian church onFriday even-
ing. The officers elect for the year
are: President, Robt. Lockhart; Vice -
Pres„ Robt. Cnrrie ; Secretary, Jos.

an, D. M. Gordon, J. A. Taylor, H.
Davis, T. L. Jobb, A. Closer's, Peter
Fisher, John MeNevin, Robt. Mooney.
The address of Rev, W. G. Hanna of
Mt. Forest, district agent of the So-
ciety, was perhaps the best ever de-
livered ou such a topic in Wingham
and was a treat. Duets by Mr. Cline
and Miss Farquharson were very ac-
ceptably rendered. The attendance
was not as large as was desired, there
being. other gatherings. Collectors
will be appointed to wait upon the
citizens for their contributions.
A New Hymn.
The -following hymn was sung by
the choir of Wingltani Methodist
Church on Sunday evening last, Miss
Homuth singing the verse as a solo,
the choir singing the chorus. Mr.
Morton, leader of the choir, composed
the words as well as the music, and
the Advance gives the hymn below, as
a tribute to our local talent. Onr
readers can judge of the hymn for
themselves ; the music was in keeping
with the sentiments of the hymn, and
was a.ppreciated by the congre-
gation ;•--
There is no friend to me like Christ
Ice's ail the world and niot'e to rite ;
He comforts when I'm sore distressed
And feminist donbts He sets axe free.
Life with its trials may oppress,
The World at tunes scent cold and
hard,
These auaatter not since I may lay
My burdens all upon the Lord.
Chown :
In Thee, 0 Lintel, I put my trust,
Thine. only Thine, I want to ice ;
My tiiels are searce worth a thought
entice Then dost hear thein all for ore,
My heart is filled with wondrous peace,
My voice breaks forth in joyous
song,
The burden of my theme is this,
To Jesus Christ I now belong.
When billows high roil o'er my soul,
And darkness deep beditns my view,
"Yet will I tenet my Lord and King
For Ile will bear me safely through.
".Y'ou,ton, may know the sweet repose,
The blessed hep riness of one
NVho trusts bis ev ry entre to Bion,
The Lord, the C,'htist, God's only Son.
My Saviour stands with outstretched
hands,
Joe's willing, anxious, to forgive;
Will you not conie to Hint just now ?
Will yon not turn, believe and live P

County Councillors 3, T. Currie and
W. McQuillan were in Wingham on
Tuesday. They made a personal in-
spection of the High ,School and hos-
pital buildings, so that they might be
able to vote intelligently when the
question of grants comes up at the
County Council. Regarding the Hos-
pital, they found the building far
superior to anything of the kind in
the county, and they consider the
location admirable. They can now
conscientiously advocate a grant at
least equal to that given to Goderich,
with a far inferior building. The
Councillors also had many kind things
to say of the High School building,
the outlook for the success of the
School, and the teaching stuff. Mes-
srs. Currie and McQuillan will soon
close their term of office. The Ad-
vance considers that they have been
faithful in discharging their duties,
and have looked well after the in-
terests of their Division. Next year,
a new and touch larger County Coun-
cil will be elected. It might be wise
to return some of those who have had
experience under the old regime. We
think that the interests of Wingham
will not suffer at the next meeting of
the Council from any neglect of the
representatives of this division,

Wingham during the stormy night
preceding a certain West Huron bye-
election....A man has been sent to
gaol for hitting his wife with a "stove -
lifter ;" that ought to put a "damper"
on such actions in the future....Don't
complain of money being scarce, there
is said to be one hundred million dol-
lars in Canada alone ; hustle round for
some of it....Last week, two cows
were advertised for sale in this paper ;
within 24 hours, four men called to see
them with a view of purchasing ; it
pays to advertise, if you have some-
thing that the people want.... Bel -
