Educational Anniversary.
Last Sunday, in Wingham Metho-
dist church, Rev. D. Rogers of Thorn -

ence, preached Educational sermons.
In the morning he chose as his text,
2 Peter 1: 21, from which he preached
an excellent and appropriate sermon.
Here are a few sidelights—"College
does not -ro pose to furnish brains
but develop whatur•ni
f a an has." "Edu-
cation cannot make a $2,000 rnan out
of a 10 cent boy." "The uneducated
man has to lift at the short end of the
hand -spike, and pull at the short end
of the doubtetree." "A man con
plfiiued that in the United States,
they had many vacant pulpits, but a
more serious evil was that they bad
inany vacant preachers." To avoid
this we endeavor to carry
axsuccess-
ful on sue
ful educatiortal work in the Church
colleges. In the evening, the Presi-
dent took for his topic—"Fidelity."
The contributions for the day were in
advance of last year, and will proba-
bly reach $70.

HOCKEY CAMES.
On Friday, the Locals won from
Stratford on horse ice, by a score of
10 to 7. The visitors presented a
strong line-up, and were confident of
winning, but the locals, who played
up to form, were too much for them,
and at half time the score was 7 to 4
in favor. of Wingham. The final half
was faster than the first, and each
team planted 8 • in the nets, making
the final score 10 to 7 in favor of
Wingham. The game throughout
was good and clean, and Mr. Hamil-
ton of Stratford, who was referee,
performed his duties to the satisfac-
tion of everybody. The locals play it

that town, Only three of Wingham
seniors were in the line-up, but they
pleased the crowd by losing to the
Sepoys of Lucknow by a score of 8 to
7, the winning goal being scored after

Two Awful Disasters.
On Tuesday, the bursting of a fur-
nace and a fire in a school hi Mont.
real, caused the death of twenty-two
Mae children and their teacher. On
Tuesday evening also, the G, '1', R.
express from Toronto to Chicago,
wits wrecked near Guelph, and the
ears rolled down a 40 font embank -
anent, Three persons were killed and
30 injured. A broken rail was the
cause, . se, Itis said the trainwas round-
ing a curve at 55 mites aur hour.
Two Deaths In Two Days,
Sad indeed was the visitation that
has come to the home of Wm, hew,
of Niagara Falls, Ontario, son of Mrs.
Kew of Winghanr. On Saturday last
death took from her home and family,
Mfrs. Wm. Kew, and on Monday, the
eldest daughter of the home was
taken also, by the same disease, pneu-
nioniaa, Two deaths in the sane fami-
ly within forty-eight hours, is a be-
reavement so sad that it is difficult to
realize and properly sympathize with
the bereaved. a'1Ir'. Thos, hew, Mrs.
Kew, sen., Mrs. Wm. Field, all of
Wingham, and Mrs. 0, Henderson of
Whiteehtai•eh, went to the bereaved
home to tender help and sympathy.
Besides the bereft husband, three
young daughters, aged nine years,
three years, and fourteen months, are
left to miss and mourn a mother's
death and a sister's companionship.
Shut The Door.
Postmaster Fisher, on behalf of the
Government, would be pleased if the
patrons of Wingham post.ofce would
close the outside doors on entering or
leaving the building, as a matter of
economy in fuel. The Advance was
laboring under the impression that
whatever virtues the Laurier Govern-
ment possessed, economy was not one
of them, and that it was a most ex-
travagant administration. But perish
the thought 1 Avaunt, all ye Tory
critics! The Government is so econo-
mical that it does not wish to consume
:any more cold air than is necessary,
but prefers to save it for the benefit of
the masses to whom it rightfully be-
longs. At the same time, it desires to
save every scuttle full of coal possible.
Now, after such irrefutable evidences
of economy, will all ye naughty Tories
please be good. Shut the door in any
case ; it is the right thing to do.

Funny World, Isn't ft ?
The Neepawa Register thinks so and
gives its reasons. A citizen ordered
the milkman to leave milk at his
house every inorning, paying 35c
clown for a week's simply ; after the
week was up the milkman still sup-
plied his customer, leaving a quart on
his door -step every morning, which
the customer took inside and used.
At the end of the year the milkman
pt-esented his hill for 51 weeks; the
customer refused to pay it saying that
the milkman should have stopped de-
livering when the payment ended.
The milkman sued the customer and
got judgment and costs, and people
said that customer was a mean and
dishonest man and that the milkman
did right. Another citizen did this
with the baker, and people said he
was not much better than a thief, if
an better Another did
y A o ler it with the
.local paper and when the editor sued
hire people said it was the editor who
was a mean matt. Funny World,

A Range Explosion.
On Sunday morning, about 0 o'clock,
the instates of Hotel Brunswick were
aroused by as terrific explosion and the
crash of broken gates. Mr. Orr, the
proprietor, rld.tar at oncedowni stairs ran to
the scene of the disaster, which proved
to be in the kitchen, where It was
found that the large hotel steel cook-
ing range hacl been blown to pieces,
probably by an explosion of accumu-
lated gas. Not only was the costly
range completely wrecked, but the
windows were blown out, the room
injured, and even the windows in the
next room were blown to pieces. Mr.
Scettr•ino the Chef I
, was the only per-
son near the range at the time, and he
was blown through the doorway into
the adjoining room and dazed by the
explosion. Fortunately, the prompt
action of Mr. Orr prevented the bnild-
ing from taking fire, The loss will be
serious, not only from the wreckage
of windows and other injuries to the
building, but a new range at a cost of
$225.00 was necessary, and on Monday
morning a now one, made by the
Western Foundry Co., was installed,
and the other damages repaired as
quickly as possible.

A Turnberry Boy,
The following from one of OM, ex-
changes refers to Rev, F. Powell, son
of T. K. Powell of Turnberry :--"Two
large congregations_greeted Rev. F.
Powell of Granton. The reverend gen-
tleman has proved himself to be a
man of no mean ability he is seem-
ingly able to grasp the tide of affairs
in the world and adjusts himself to
meet the demand, His sermon on
'What think ye of Christ,' in the
morning wits apt and instinctive, and
at the same tune not forgetting the
evangelical application to the present
day. The evening discourse on 'They
shall be urine in that day when 1 make
up my jewels,' was clear and pointed,
reaching for the stray -away, giving
encouragement and hope,"
At Good Old Age.
On Friday last, one of the highly
respected residents of this vicinity,
DIr. James Cochrane, a e was summoned
to his reward. Deceased was a native
of Scotland. At the age of 20, he
carne to Canada, working hiss passage
over on a sailing vessel. .His first
year in this country WAS spent on a
farm near Galt, and later, for some
years, he teamed goods from Hamil-
ton to Berlin, In the fifties, he took
up land in North Easthope, near New
Hamburg.. In 1875, he removed to a
farm in East Wawanosh, near Wing -
ham. His partner in life passed away
the same year. Mr. Cochrane was a
roan of sterling type, honest, frugal
and industrious, and he enjoyed the
esteem these qualities attract. He
was n member of St. Andrew's Pres-
byterian Church, incl in political af-
fairs adhered to the Liberal party.
There are four sons and four daugh-
ters; the latter ate ]lits. Ritz of Dry-
den, Mrs. D. H. Campbell of Morris
(with whom the deceased bad lived
for some years past), Mrs. T. A. Powell
and Miss Dot Cochrane of Oxdrift,
Ont. The sons are—William of Brit-
ish Columbia, Matthew of Saskatche-
wan, John of East Wawanosh, and
Robert of Grey. The remains were
laid to rest at New Hamburg on
Wednesday. Mr. Cochrane was in
his 85th year. Ile had. been an Odd -
fellow since 1871, and was an honored
inember• of the Sons of Scotland.

Sad Bereavement.
In Goderich, on Saturday morning
last,.the spirit of Mrs. Jackson Wight -
man passed into the Unseen World.
Deceased had been in poor health for
some months, but was able to spend
Christmas with friends at her sister's
home, and played and sang "Jesus
Lover of my soul." Since the New
Year, she was confined to her room
almost continually until her death,
which was caused by pernicious anae-
mia. Through all her sickness, she
was never heard to complain hut bore
it with Christian fortitude. Her maid-
en name was Christianua McClinton,
and until her removal to Goderich
about eleven months ago, her life was
spent in the township of East Wawa-
nosh. She was a very active member
of the Methodist Church. Her fidelity
to the cause was characteristic of her
earnest Christian faith, and until set
aside by sickness, she was rarely ab-
sent from the Sunday School or the
weekly prayer meeting. What makes
it harder for the bereaved husband is
the fact that their only child, as son
preparing to enter the ministry, is
prostrated with typhoid fever. Mrs.
Wighttnan was in her 42nd year, and
as Rev. Mr. Hazen, who preached the
funeral serrnon said—"The world is
surely better because she has lived in
IL" The remains were taken to West-
field, where the Revs. Hazen of Gode-
rich and Jones of Anburn conducted
the service father,H er •
one brother
and eight sisters mount the loss of
one who was very dear to them. Two
of the sisters, Mrs. John Armour and
Mrs Jas.
. Armon i •reside
in Wingham.
To the husband sand son, especially,
the sympathy of the enmtnunity goes
out in this their hour of severe trial.

Errors' Corrected.
We wish to correct some errors in
typesettingthat crept into the letter
in last wee's issue from Dr. Chisholm
in reply to an East Wuwanosh farmer,
regarding the Iron and Steel bounties,
To put the matter right, we reproduce
that part of the letter in which the
figures occurred, as we do not wish to
do Dr. Chisholm any injustice: -'-"The
population of the Dominion by the
last census was 5,371,315, and the
millionaire monopolists, Iron and
Steel manufacturers have already re-
ceived ten trillions and a half in cash
bounties, and now it is proposed to
give them fifteen millions more, mak-
ing twenty-five millions in all. Thus
you see 5,371,315 divided into $25,000,-
000 gives $4.05 for every man, woman
and child in this Dominion, and as the
population of East Wawanosh, by the
Fame census was 1900, yen will see
thatyour y ur township alone will con-
tribute $9,11.1, or nearly ten thousand
dollars, Suppose these millionaires
came to lust Wawanosh and asked
the people to vote thein a bonus of
$9,114, how many votes would they
get. I fan Grits fancy Gt t and Tories would
unite to defeat it ?"
