To -morrow (Friday) will be Arbor day. Wo doubt if there will be much done in the way of tree planting, as the season is too backward and the ground in rather poor condition for decorating school grounds with trees and flowers. Voting on 0. P. R. bonus took place in Hullett last Friday, and was carried by 317 for and 51 against. The bonus was for the proposed branch of the C. P.

Smith, the man who means business. We learn that there are several cases of smallpox in the township of Morris. The residences of Messrs. Ferrand, Paul, Agar and one or two others are quarantined ; the schools in sections Nos. 7 and 8 are closed, also the Methodist church at Brown - town, on account of this sudden out- break of the disease. The Southampton Beacon says :— The warm wind from the east on Sun- day drove the ice in the lake far out, giving us once more a glimpse of blue water. Then the wind changed around and drove it back again, but it is the blowing in and out that smashes it up and wears it away. Miss Birdie Johnston, who recently accompanied her mother from Wing - ham to Spearfish, South Dakota, in sending a year's subscription for the Advance, says : "Mother is much bet- ter and we like the West very well but would not give our Canadian home for this." The many friends of Mrs. Johnston will be glad to hear that she is improving in health. When you are looking for a Suit or Rain Coat, give us the last call, not the first. After you look through every store that sells Clothing, before yon buy call on us as we think you will buy here, at A, R. Smith's, Chis- holm block. King Edward and Queen Alexand- ria attended a performance of Beer- hohm Tree's company at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, on Thursday night last. The appearance of Their Majes- ties in the royal box was the signal for the entire audience to rise and sing "God Save the King". This was fol- lowed by an outburst of enthusiastic cheering. Mrs. Chas. King, of Corpus Christi, Texas, owns more land than any other woman in the world. Her hue- band was a famous cattle breeder, and in Nueces, he left her 13,000,000 acres, Hidalgo, Starr. and Cameron counties, and there are now about 65,000 cattle 'on her ranges. This vast estate must be kept intact until her oldest grand- child comes of ago. The degree of M. D. was received by a large number of graduates of the Western Medical College, London, on Monday night.

A quiet wedding took place in Low- er Wingham on Tuesday of last week, when Mrs. Stroud was united in mar- riage to Mr. Sillick, a gentleman from near Teeswater. We have not re- ceived particulars of the interesting event, hence can only extend con- gratulations. Social Evening. The members of Maitland Lodge, No. 119, I, 0, 0, F., celebrated their anniversary last Wednesday evening by holding a social. Some played pro- gressive euchre, and in the latter con - teat J. Vanstone won a three -link pin. Refreshments were then served, All report an enjoyable time. Maitland Lodge is in a prosperous condition, and new members are being initiated almost every week. To Guelph. Mr. John Conery has purchased a residence in Guelph and removed his family to that city last week, They have been residents of Wingham for a number of years, and their many friends were sorry to lose them by.re- moval, but as Mr. 0, is interested in the cement Co. of that city, it was necessary for him to reside there. The best wishes of their Wingham friends go with them to their new home. Election of Officers. The annual meeting and election of officers of the Epworth League of the Methodist church took place on Mon- day. The annual reports as presented showed that the League had a pros- perous year. The total membership is 124 ; during the year there were twenty removals and one withdrawal. Over $150 was raised for missions. The new officers are as follows :—Pres. W. C. Thompson ; 1st Vice -Pres.. Percy Greer ; 2nd Vice -Pres., Arthur Helm ; 3rd Vice -Pres., Frank Hill ; 4th Vice -Pres., Mrs, F, Hogg ; Sec., Miss Tibbs ; Treas., Luther Ball ; Pianist, Miss Sperling; Asst. Pianist, Miss Dulmge. More bight. Our citizens, especially those resid- ing on the back streets, were delight- ed last Saturday night on seeing the extra number of arc lights going. There were nine of them, situated as follows :—Three on Minnie street, at the corners of Victoria, Patrick and Alfred streets ; 1 near the mill bridge ; 1 on corner of Frances and Patrick St.; 1 on Souter street, at the corner of John and Patrick streets; 1 on John street near the residence of T. A. Mills ; 1 on the corner of Frances and Diagonal streets; 1 on Josephine street at the hill near the residence of Geo. McKenzie. Since the town took over the electric light plant, incan- descent lights have been installed in the residences of Conductor Quirk, F. W. VanStone, Frank Paterson and the store occupied by the Reeler Co., in the McKenzie block. Of Interest To Ladies. The visit of Prof. Dorenwend to Wingham on Wednesday, May 18, will afford the ladies of Wingham and surrounding country an opportunity of consulting him regarding their Flair, its needs, and their require- rents in all styles of Hair Goods. Prof. Dorenwend carries with him a large and most varied assortment of his famous conceptions in Switches, Bangs. Pompadours, Wavy Fronts and Wigs. The equal of these high grade natural hair productions can not be procured from any hair goods dealer in America. Prof. Dorenwend has the distinction of being the largest manufacturer 'and the most noted specialist in these goods. Private apartments are at the convenience of all who avail themselves of calling at the Hotel Brunswick on the day of his visit. - 1 Percy Greer, who has been in the Dominion Bank here for some time, received word on 'Tuesday morning from the Head office to report in Win- nipeg next Monday. He left on Wed- nesday morning to spend a day or so at his home in Poterboro before going west. We congratulate Percy on his promotion, but at tho same time re- gret to lose such art estimable young man, At the adjourned meeting of the West Huron license board, held on Monday, 25th ult., Mr. 3. McDonald of Whitechureh and Mr, Harry Mcl3rfen of Auburn were granted their liconses. The application of Me. W. G, Boggs of Carlow was not granted; a deputation of seine 17 residents of the neighbor- hood, with Rev. M. I. Wilson of Nile as leader, walled upon the iicenee board and stated the houae was 'not necessary. On the other side, praying that alicense be granted, was a pets. tion from the Connell and taigoed by 07 residents of the township. 11ut even this .was ir,6uffielent to get Mr. Dog°gs his license, Baptist Roll Call. The annual Roll Call and Tea, held in the Baptist church last Thursday evening, was a decided success. The greater number of the resident mem- bers and adherents were in attendance, while many from a distance sent let- ters or Scripture quotations to be read in reponse to their names. After the Roll Call the meeting adjourned to the basement, where refreshments were served in excellent style by the mem- bers of the Ladies' Aid Society, Mrs. Geo. C. Hanna presided at the organ to the great delight of all present. The neat sum of $63.75 was realized in the thank -offering, Annual Meeting. The annual meeting and election of officers of the Ladies' Aid Society of the Methodist Church was held on Tuesday afternoon ; last year's of- ficers were all re-elected. namely :— Pres., Mrs. W. .d, Green ; lst Vice - Pres., Mrs. A. E. Lloyd ; 2nd Vice - Pres., Mrs. R. J. Tindall ; Sec'y., Mrs. Thos. Gregory ; Treas., Mrs, John Halpenny, In connection with the meeting the ladies held their monthly tea, at which a very pleasant time was spent, and those who were not present missed a treat. The ladies decided to serve meals on the 12th of July. We wish the Society another year of pros- perity, A Rare Treat. The citizens of Wingham and vicini- ty had a most excellent musical treat at the Opera House on Tuesday even- ing, when the Oratorio entitled "Bel- sbazzar's Feast" or "The Fall of Baby- lon" was given by a large chorus of the best vocalists in town, under the management of Prof. G. W. Cline, as a complimentary benefit to Wingham Citizens' Band. This was the best and most successful entertainment of the season, and all those who took part in it are to he congratulated on the excellent manner in which. they acquitted themselves. There was a good attendance, and everybody ap- peared to thoroughly enjoy them. selves. The receipts amounted to nearly $100. Lack of space prevents a fuller account. The Junior League. The annual business meeting and election of officers of the Junior League of the Methodist church was held on Friday, Apr, 20th. Under the superintendence of Miss Hattie Reid and her assistants the Juniors had a very successful year. Number of members, 50 active, 47 associate ; total 106. The total amount of money rais- ed for all purposes was $57.47, expend- ed as follows :—Building fund, $10 00 ; Organ fund, $30.00: Missions, $11,00; sundry expenses, $5.75 ; bal. on hand 72c. The following are the officers for the new year :—Pres., Brock Brandon ; let Vice., May Lloyd ; 2nd Vice, Pearl Davidson ; -3rd Vice, Maggie Hiscox 4th Vice, Carrie Stewart; Sec'y, Viola Davidson ; Treas., Laura Kerr ; Pian- ist, Hazel Brandon. WANTED.—Caretaker for the Bowl- ing green. Apply to Dr. Irwin, The New Drug Firm. The purchase of the Drug business of Mr. Colin Campbell by A. I. McCall & Co., limited, of Chatham, narks an- other step of steady progress made by the firm. About six years ago A. L McCall opened a business in Chatham, and after fouryears spent in laying a foundation for a large business, Mr. McCall converted his business into a Joint Stock Company with a capital stock of $30,0110, and the Company purchased the present site of the Head store, Chatham, undoubtedly the best stand in that growing city. An up-to- date outfit for the correct testing of eyes and proper fitting of glasses is put into each store and a competent optician placed in charge of this de- partment. This rule will be carried out in the Wingham store immediate- ly. Mr. Campbell can be found at the old stand as manager for A. 1. McCall & Co„ limited, and will be pleased to see all his old customers and many new ones. Leaped To Her Death. • The numerous friends of Mr. H. Ward Farrow, son of Postmaster Far- row of Brussels, will be sorry to learn of the death of his wife, the follow- ing particulars of which we take from the London Free Press .— Mrs, Mary E. Farrow, wife of 11, W. Farrow, mail clerk on the Grand Trunk Railway, and a patient at Ho- tel Dien, Windsor, .jumped from a second -story window at that institu- tion at an early hour Saturday morn- ing, striking on her head on the hard ground, and sustaining injuries from which she died two hours later. 141rs, Farrow, who lived at 130 Church street, became iii about a week ago with typhoid fever, and last Monday was removed to Hotel Dieu. The fever brought on delirium and her condition became so bad it was decid- ed to have her under watch day and night. About 5 o'clock Saturday, while dolirtons, Mrs. Farrow- jumped cut of bed and made a dash for the window. The sister in charge grabbed Iter but the woman broke away and quick as a flash the window was raised and she threw herself to the ground. When found, it appeared as though she had lost her speech, as she made severs1 attempts to talk but eonld not utter a sound, $1.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE J NOTES OF TRAVEL.. A TRANSCONTINENTAL TRW. For years the editor of the Advance had pictured in hie mind the pleasures of a trip across the American conti- nent. To behold (once more) the broad and fertile prairies ; view the Rocky Mountains with their snow- capped peaks ; take in the beauties of California, taste of its luscious fruits, feast the eyes on its beautiful floral productions, and inhale their frag. ranee ; to bathe in the briny waters of the great Pacific ocean—these things had long been regarded with prospec- tive delight, and came within the range of possibility and realization sooner than expected. Leaving Wingham on Tuesday, April 26th, by the G. T. R., we find ourselves in the genial company of Rev, and Mrs. Hobbs, as far as Strath- roy. At London we change to the Chicago "Flyer," an elegantly -equip- ped train that need not take second place with any, even on the American roads. Soon we reach Sarnia, pass under the St. Clair river by means of that featof engineering skill known as the tunnel, and in a few minutes we are on American soil, and beneath the Stars and Stripes. A good night's run brings us to Chicago at 7,20 a. m., Wednesday. Here we must spend the whole day, for not until 10 p.` m. can we really begin our transcontinental trip, Much has been written about Chi- cago and much more might be said. It was at one time properly termed the "gateway of the west," but the rapid movement of population west- ward has really made it only the ave- nue to other "gateways" lying much farther west. In many respects it is a wonderful city. The traveller enter- ing it by rail probably sees its worst features, unless he lands perhaps at the Illinois Central station. If so, be steps from the station to the beautiful asphalt -paved Michigan avenue, where automobiles glide by in rapid succes- sion, although almost noiselessly. A large park lies on the east side of the avenue, and its easterly limits are laved by the waters of Lake Michigan. Chicago is a city of wonderful growth. When it is remembered that in 1800, the population of Illinois was only 2,458—that where Chicago post - office now stands, wolves were hunted in 1834—that its first newspaper was born Nov. 26, 1833—some idea of its progress may be gathered. It was surveyed in 1830, incorporated as a town in 1835, and as a city in 1837. It is now 26 miles long, and its greatest width is 15 miles. It has 22 miles of lake frontage, over4000 miles of street, 59 miles of boulevards, with parks cov- ering 2,382 acres. Its water supply is abundant, and its daily supply 615 million gallons. It is entered by near- ly thirty railways and has 23 freight depots. It has theatres and places of amusement by the score, and the aw- ful horror of the Iroquois holocaust is still spoken of with bated breath and deepest regret. The city has a large number of benevolent institutions, and no fewer than forty-six hospitals. Chicago has some fine residential streets, many streets not so fine, and some had—very bad,. where saloons stand side by side, where dens of in- iquity abound and vice stalks forth boldly, even brazenly, and where day- time is bad enough but the nights are orgies of debauch and sensuality. For as through Chicago, there flows the turbid, muddy and filthy river, so through the city there rolls a stream of moral impurity and filth, perhaps not equalled in any city of the conti- nent. From South Africa. We have received another com- munication from Mr.- W. H. Wells, in which he says : "It makes ,me shiver when I think of the terrible winter you have had, and I pity you, It is coming our winter now, but it has no terrors for us, as crops grow all wint- er. 1 am just sowing mine now. We had a good summer—plenty of rain and not too much heat. There are hard times here at present, but that does not affect the farmer, as there is always a good market for all he can produce. Father and I are in the best of health and wish the Advance every success." WANTED,—Good smart boy wanted at once; apply to Alex. Ritchie, TOWN COUNCIL. The regular monthly meeting of the Town Council was held on Monday evening, May 2nd ; all the members present. Minutes of last regular and subsequent special meeting were read and approved. The following conirnunications were read :--From the secretary of the Wingham baseball club, requesting answer communication ask- ing o s • to former r ing permisslon to use the park on cer- tain occasions. The Olerk was in- structed to reply stating the communi- cation was referred to the Executive committee who had charge of the park. From Dr. Macdonald, M. P., request. ing the Council to snake application to the Railway Commissiou at Ottawa to have streets of the town opened up over the Grand Trunk railway. This communication was in answer to one from the Mayor, asking if the Ry. Com. had power to deal with the tines - tion. Greer—Holrnes----That this Conneil deem it advisable to have Shuter and Frances streets opened up across the Grand Trunk track*, and that action to this end be taken by this Conned-- eerried, From Geo. McKenzie, 'laking an offer of $10 for the right of way across the east end of the lot the hose tower is on, As this matter had previously been referred to the Executive com- mittee, with instructions not to sell, the present i communication was simi- l;nly dealt with. prom 3, W. Duncan, band lender, asking for a raise of eatery of $50 for the coming year. No action taken, Mr. D. E1. Gordon and other nter- ebants waited on the Council, request- ing a higher license for pedlers slid hawkers. The Connell promised to take action at next regular 'meeting. Messre, Barrett and llomnth waied 1111 111 1161111111111 1 1111 1Y11111111 11111111YIY I11ulY11 The railway traffic of Chicago is enormous, and it claims to be the larg- est railway centre in the world, Of course everything It has, is the "best in the world." The railroads control, it is said, one-fourth of the city.. The street traffic is rapidly becoming a serious problem, notwithstanding its street car system, its elevated steam and electric roads. The packing busi- ness of Chicago is enormous and its stockyards are well worthy of a visit. The towering business blocks of Chicago are one of its features, rising as they do over twenty stories. Among these sky scrapers, the Ma- sonic Temple rises skyward 285 feet. In many of these buildings, floor after floor is occupied with business offices. One of the finest, and certainly the most recent of these mammoth hives of commercial activity, is the Railway Exchange, corner of Jackson Boule- vard and Michigan Avenue. It is not quite complete but is being rapidly filled up. It is an elegant building, the inside walla are of marble, It is seventeen stories high. While waiting in Dearborn station, we were recognized by two young men formerly of Wingham—Bert. and Charles Ross, sons of Alex. Ross. We were cordially invited to their com- fortable flat on Michigan Avenue, where we spent a pleasant hour chat- ting oyer Wingham and its inhabi- tants. These young men hold good situations in the city and are doing well, for Uncle Sam appreciates the trustworthiness and business tact of our Canadian boys. Bert. and Charlie are on the upward climb in business relations. But 10 p. m, is near at hand and al- ready the steam monster is panting and snorting as if eager to test its strength upon the 2500 miles of a trans- continental Journey before us. These California excursions proved 'have very attractive. All the main roads are running them this week to Los Angeles, where the General Confer- ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church is in session. On Tuesday evening, two heavy trains left by the Chicago & North Western. We chose the Santa Fe route, and at 10 p. m. the General Conference Special is due to leave. As the hour approaches, it is evident that the railway has a prob- lem on its hands. Enough tickets have been sold to passeugers sufficient to fill three long trains, but the Santa Fe is equal to the emergency, and soon the excursion is ready in three special trains, long and heavy. Our car falls in section 3, and fifteen min- utes later than No. 2, No. 3 is ready to start. The cars are all new, just fresh from the shops. Soon we leave the "Windy City" behind ; our transcon- tinental journey has begun. Now our berth is ready, and footsore and weary, we turn into acomfortable bed. When daylight dawns we have crossed the Mississippi river, and are traversing the State of Missouri, 250 miles southwest of Chicago. The country is fine farming land. At every station, the stockyards indicate that stock is regarded as much a "money-maker" as it is in Ontario, Up to this point the climate is much the same as in Canada, Spring work is no farther advanced. As we go southward, however, a change is no- ticeable, and it is decidedly warmer. Kansas City is now rn sight (12 noon) 458 miles from Chicago, and we must lunch. (To be continued next issue.)
