gentle at fiat, but the pull is steady.
It increases day by day, and year by

modie, jerky pulls will not hedge the
load, while one-half the power exerted
in steady effort will start anis keep it

ly $16 to aid in payment of their

County Convention.
Dr, Towler, corresponding Secretary
for Huron Sabbath School Assocla•
tion, is making preparations for the
anunal convention, which wilt be held
in Wingham, June 14 and 15. A nuns-
ber of excellent speakersare expected)
and very successful and profitable
convention sessions are anticipated..
Reduced Prices.
The Weekly Sun, commenting on
the markets, says :—tattle are $1.15
lower than this time two years ago,
hogs are ,$1,50 below the figures for
1002, cheese is also under the figure
quoted this time twoyears ago. These
are the three great staple produets of
the Ontario farmer. True wheat is
nearly 20e above the quotations of two
years since, but wheat is no, longer one
of our great money crops, and any-
way, the high prices, in this com-
modity are likely to prove temporary,
It is not a time for panic, but it is a
time for caution in assuming obliga-
tions, .
Summer School.
The Executive of Winghatn District
Epworth League met in Wingham on
Friday last.. There were present :•--

cardine; K, Beaton, Whitechurch ; D.
0, Taylor, Lucknow ; Mrs, Vance,
Bervie; Miss Staples, Teeswater; W.
H. Kerr, Brussels. After full discus-
sion, it was decided, instead of holding
a District convention in the autumn
- to hold a "Summer School" for League
work and methods, in Kincardine,
from the 8th to the 15th of August
inclusive. A • part of each day will
be spent in listening to addresses
from able speakers, and part in recrea-
tion on the lake shore, so that profit
and recreation will be combined. The
School will no doubt be a popular ral-
lying point for the Leaguers of the
Wingham district,
Council Meeting.
Council naet on Monday evening as
per adjournment from 4th inst.; all
the members present, The only busi-
ness to be done was the third reading

the loan of $10,000 to Walker & Clegg
for the extension of tbeir business and
premises. The By-law was read the

Greer anti D. Bell was passed. The
fall text of the agreement between
Walker & Clegg was also read and
approved. The main points of this
agreement have been noted in these

appear that the interests of the Town
have been fully safeguarded, and there
ie every reason to. believe that the
agreement will he faithfully carried
out.

There are no accidents to those who
abide wholly within the will of God.
There may be events which men outside
will look upou as accidents, but when
life is lived in the centre of the circle
of the divine will, nothing can approach
it save those things which are fore-
ordained and which are therefore in-
tegral parts of the divine plan, and
divine programme.—Morgan.

—There was a decrease of 1,000,000
gallons in the whiskey consulted in
England Last year.
Sixty years ago the United King-
dom was practically self-fetding; to-
day more than half its pleats and snore
than two-thirds of its grains are of

—It is expected that the Ontario
Legislature will soon complete its

that rather than face the election pro-

appeal to the country.

--It is reported that for the first
three months of 1901, the fire losses in
Canada and the United States were
5123,013,350, against $39,164,000 in 1903,
and $48,099,900 in 1902. The month of
March shows a fire loss of 511,202,150,
which exceeds that of the previous
March by $1,300,000.

—The provincial treasury will be
swelled to the extent of about $200,000
a year under the provisions of Premier
Ross' bill to amend the supplementary
revenue act, which he has intrdduced
into the Legislature. The measure
stipulates that railways running
through the organized districts of the
province shall pay a tax to the pro-
vincial treasury of $30 per mile for
single tracks and $10 for each addi-
tional track. In the case of railways
running through unorganized districts
the tax is to be $20 and $5 respective-
ly. Railways under one hundred miles
in length are to be taxed $15 per mile
for single tracks, and $5 per mile for
additional tracks.
—The Goderich Signal seems won-
derfully concerned about the Advance
and its readers. We are sorry that
the Signal bas so little to occupy its
attention that it finds time to go out
of its way to pick a quarrel. Just
"tend to your own patch" brother.
Don't poke your nose into other peo-
ple's business. If we fail to satisfy
our readers, we assure you they will
not turn to the Signal for better ser-
vice. Don't worry in the least about
the Advance and its readers. We
have known "worry" to have very
serious results on some people, and
since you produced that silly illustra-
tion—well, just take our advice, and
don't worry about this family journal
but keep your mind peacefully occu-
pied with your own affairs. It is a
more restful, healthy occupation than
meddling with others.

—Sentences have been imposed upon
five men concerned in the ballot frauds
that disgraced the last civic election
in Toronto. Three deputy -returning
officers—S, Thompson, F. Gray and A.
Cahoon have been sentenced to im-
prisonment for two years less one day,
and two poll clerks—Lieut.-Col, Gray
and Thee. Item to imprisonment for
one year. These men were no doubt
encouraged to invade the sanctity of
the ballot by the immunity enjoyed
by ballot thieves in the provincial
arena. While these men suffer the
penalty, the probability is, that those
who profited by their dirty work will
go free—pity it should be so but it
often is the case. It is to be hoped
-,hat the punishment meted out to
these men will have a deterrent influ-
ence upon all who are similarly dis-
posed. Ballot frauds of every kind
should meet with swift and severe
pttnishment, no matter by whom or
for whom perpetrated, This would
tend to secure a pure ballot, which
alone reflects the will of the electorate.

It is settled that there will be a,
Provincial general election at an
early date. As soon as possible
lifter the close of the session, whish
will probably take place toward
the end of next week, the Legisia-
tore will be dissolved, and the Ross
Uov'erninent will submit itself to
the vet diet of the electorate. There
has been a growing impression in
political circles for some days that
lx move of importance was in cons
tens pdation. The narrow majority
of the Ministry, the inability of
Mr. Ross to deal effectively with
the °I:'etnperance lseue, And the fact,
that the Governrneht's pulley on
itny question is at, the nnerey of a
fete members, have forced the tak-
ing of a decided stela. It is under-
stood that than Lieutenant -Dover -
nor is of opinion that the best so-
listion of the present praetical
t'Ieadloek is to let the people decide
it,
Liberal politicians deny that an elee-
tion will be beld soon, but the News
reiterates the statement and says that
the election will teke place in May nr
