Roghulond,.the colored murderer in that city last week, says :— Let us devoutly hope that our fair city may never again be called upon to witness a repetition of the painful and sickening tragedy that was con- summated in the yard of the county jail Monday morning. For weeks past the horrible thought has been on the nerves of the community that a con- demned and wretched mortal was languishing in his cell awaiting in terror the rising of Monday's sun. This is a civilized and Christian coun- try, and despite the fact that every- body recognizes that the condemned man was justly atoning for his crime with his life, it cannot be denied that the publicity and method of the pun- ishment are revolting in the extreme to the sensibilities of an enlightened community, The knowledge of what was to take place Monday morning was quite enough in itself to unsettle the feel- ings of the ordinary citizen, but to have the hangman parading the street days before he was needed, ust universal dis in- spired an almostg with our whole method of public ex- ecutions. It is safe to say that only the rarity of such events as occurred Monday could perpetuate such a bar- baric practice. Hanging is a relic of the fierce and savage times when lhis„method was adopted on account of the publicity which was given the condemned ; he was raised on high so that all might see him and take warning from his fate. The times have outgrown it, and it would be the credit of the Minister of Justice to see that some less appalling substitute were speedi- ly found. A common place of execu- tion for the whole country, and the use of anesthetics under expert super- vision, would surely appear to be an urgently -needed reform.

Try This For Dinner. just before the new potatoes are cooked remove from the fire and let. cool; take one pint of butter beans cooked until tender, and cut into smal- ler pieces. When the potatoes are cold, chop rather coarsely, Arrange potatoes and beans in alternate layers in a dish, with bits of butter, pepper and salt; pour over this one cupful of cream and sprinkle over the top rolled crackers. Cover and set in the oven long enough to get thoroughly hot, then remove cover and brown slightly and serve. Commission To Report. The International Waterways s y Commission of Buffalo, which has been investigating the practicability of constructing a dam across the Niagara River to raise the water level of the great lakes, has about finished its work, and the report, it is said, will be in the hands of the United States and Canadian Governments next• month. Although the decision of the commission cannot be made public, it is understood that a majority of both the Canadian and American Commissioners are in favor of the project and will recommend the build- ing of the dam. (Goderich Star). On the 11th of June, a young girl of Colborne township, while on her way to the public school in Saltford, was attacked on the hill near the cedars by a man, who at the time was sup- posed to be a tramp. He threw her down, 'and but for the fact that she fought bravely, and a younger sister who was with her screamed loudly and alarmed the ruffian, more serious results would have followed. As it was, the man escaped among the trees which line the river bank, and no trace of him was had until last week when Albert Jardine, a young man well known in Goderich, was arrested as the offender. He was taken before the P. M. and fully identified by the girls, and being committed for trial, was brought before His Honor Judge Doyle on Tuesday, when he pleaded guilty to an indecent --assault, and was sentenced to six months in the Central Prison, with five lashes to be added within the last two weeks of his term. About 10 days ago, an Englishman named Frank Coleman, working on a farm in the township of Stephen, at- tempted suicide by shooting himself, but was not dangerously wounded, and being taken to hospital, recover- ed. As he threatened to "make a bet- ter job of it next time," he was brought to Goderich and before P. M. Butler Wednesday noon, who commit- ted him for trial, and he was brought before Judge Doyle the same after- noon. He would give no explanation of his attempt at self-destruction, but from his history he appears to have served in the army in India and South Africa, and was apparently well satis- fied with his work on the farm. Judge Doyle reprimanded him on the seri- ousness of the offence, and sentenced him to three months in jail here. Fire At Hensall. A disastrous fire broke out July let at 7.80 in the second storey of the ma- chine shop of the Il.ensall foundry. Before the brigade arrived the fire was past control, and it was with great difficulty that they prevented the moulding shop and saw mill ad- joining from catching fire. The loss, which is estimated at $8,000, is partly covered by insurance of $5,000. Valuable. Land. Some people in England ask why the Liberals of England are so deter- mined to tax the unearned increment of land. Well, here is a sample reason why. The Duke of Bedford owns 250 acres of Kind in the heart of London from which he draws an annual in- come of very nearly one million dols lays. For the part of this property upon which Convent Garden market stands and seven acres nearby, one of his ancestors paid $30 ; yet to day that property is worth $225,000 a year"! Is there any wonder that the people want to have a share of the value of that land ? Invented Safe Headache Cure.

The Bruce Times gives the following example of how railways figure some- times :—When Mr. John Morrison stepped into a Chicago depot this week to purchase a ticket for his home in Walkerton he was told by the station agent to buy hie ticket through to Southampton and he would save near- ly $7.00 on the transaction. The rate from Chicago to Walkerton, Mr. Morrison was told, was over $20.00, while the rate from Chicago to South- ampton, 32 miles farther, was only $13,00. The only solution that can be assigned for such a discrepancy in rates, is that Southampton is recog- nized as a summer resort and is con- sequently favored with a special tourist rate. It is needless to say that Mr. Morrison bought his ticket for Southampton and got off at Walker- ton, SOME GOOD ADVICE. A Change Proposed. A number of County Councils are asking for ,he exemption of farm buildings from taxation, and petitions have been forwarded to the Ontario Government, urging action along this line, It is claimed that such action would do much toward the speedy improvement of vacant lands, and al- so would encourage farmers to im- prove and beautify their property. The proposal will be considered by the special committee of the Legislature, appointed to deal with the Assessment Act, It is understood that the Gov- ernment will submit the matter for the committee's early consideration. The same amount of tax would of course have to be levied, but there would be this advantage, that the farmer would not have his assessment raised for every shed, pig -pen, or hen- house he erected. The asgeesment would be on the land. \ Keep After Them. Ritchie Cosens This weekly journal regards the common fly as one of the foes of the home. It walks through every kind of filth and if allowed will carry it on its peculiarly -formed feet and deposit the stuff upon our food. Anything we can do to lessen the pest will be done. According to the Lancet, .a British medical journal, the best fly - exterminating agent is a weak solu- tion of formaldehyde in water (two teaspoonfuls to the pint.) The flies aattracted by it and drink it. Some of em die in the water, others get no further than the immediate vicini- ty of the vessel containing the solu- tion, but all ultimately succumb, and where there are many of them hun- dreds may be swept up from the floor. Inasmuch as formaldehyde is itself a disinfectant and fatal to disease germs, it is specially valuable as a fly destroyer, not only putting an end to the pest, but disinfecting the slain at the same time. Fined and Resigns. The case of . Mr. B. F. Kastner, referred to in -the Mitchell Advocate last week, was heard in Stratford before Police Magistrate O'Loane on Thursday, The case arose over the dismissal of a school teacher in union school section No, 2, Downie and Ellice townships. The action of the trustees was not favorable to the majority of the ratepayers and learn- ing that Messrs. Kastner and Litt, two of the trustees who had favored the motion for dismissal, had been con- tracting with themselves for school commodities while on the trustee board, an information was laid against them. His Worship, after hearing the evidence, ruled that their actions were contrary to the statutes and im- posed a fine of $1.00 and costs on Mr. Kastner, with the understanding that he resigns his position as a member of the trustee board.
