Stanley, the well- known African explore(', died in Eng- land on Tuesday, 10th inst. He was quite conscious to the last, and able to recognize his mother, Sir Henry was born in Wales in the year 1811. He became not only a great traveller, but author, and published many works of travel. Property Changes. Mr, Jas. Found, an old resident of Whitechurch, will shortly remove to Wingham, having purchased the house of Mr, John Campbell on Vic- toria street for $1000. Mr. Oampbell will remove to Lower Wingham, hav- ing bought Mr. W. H, Green's pro- perty, opposite the Agricultural Park, (through the agency of 0, J. Maguire, real estate agent) and now occupied by Mr. W, D. Pringle. The price paid was $050. This is rather an unpleas- ant piece of business for Mr. Pringle, he having only removed to the house a few weeks ago, and it is not very easy to get a house here at present. Mrs. Constable Dead. On Tuesday of this week our young townsman, Mr, Leslie Constable, suf- fered severe bereavement by the death of his beloved partner, Emma Eva Hanna, at the age of 32 years. De- ceased had been in failing health for scene months with that dreaded dis- euse, consumption, and although the end has been expected for several weeks, yet when it came it brought sorrow and sadness. Mra. Constable was the youngest daughter of the late Campbell Hanna of East Wawanosh. The sympathy of a wide circle of friends is extended to the bereaved husband and relatives. Interment will take place at 2.30 p.m. this after- noon (Thursday) in the Wingham cenietery ; service at 2 o'clock. Weep not for a sister deceased, Our loss is her infinite gain ; A soul out of prison released, .And free from its bodily chain ; With songs let us follow her flight, And mount with her spirit abovo, Escaped to the mansions of light, And lodged in the Edon of love. Football Match. The first game of the season in the intermediate series took place in Sea - forth on Friday of last week, with Seaforth and Wingharn as contestants. In the first half of the game, the play- ing was even, although the scoring was not. Shot after shot was made on the Seaforth goal, but only one got between the stakes, which, however, was not allowed, while Seaforth made two. In the second half Seaforth had the best of the game, and succeeded in adding two more to the score, making it 4-0. Our boys certainly played in hard luck, and the score is by no means an indication of the playing, but they hope to turn the tables on the Seaforthites on Tuesday, the 17th, when the return game is to be played in Wingham. The boys were used well in every respect, and the follow- ing composed the 'local team : Goal -- F. Rush; backs—Rus. Wheeler, Jas. Mitchell ; half-backs—Herb. Mitchell, Walter Burgess, Horace Bennett ; for- wards --Wes, Ansley, Jim. McGilli- vray, Simon Mitchell, Jim. Murray, Alf. Holtzman. Wingham Boy In It. The Navigation Company's steamer Oriole careened over in the - Muskoka River about half a mile from Brace - bridge on Monday, May 2nd. She had just started on her afternoon trip with about 30 passengers and a heavy cargo of freight for up the lakes. As the boat was turning a bend she was caught on the side by the current, which is very strong at this time of the year, and slowly turned on her side. Capt. Corbett beaded the boat for shore, and reached it before she capsized. All on board were saved, the crew breaking the windows in the cabin, and rescuing the passengers there. A nutnber of ladies were pulled out through the lower cabin winj(ows. Elijah Manuel, an old Wingharn boy, was among the passengers. He was going up to the trorth shore to work at his trade, and, had a good stock of tools With him, all of which went down with the vessel. Mr. Manuel formerly worked in the chair factory here. His many friends congratulate him on his narrow escape but are sorry he lost hie tools. Died In Winnipeg. The Winnipeg Free Press of Friday last has the following :—"Mrs. Youhill, Wife of Mr. ,Joseph A. Youhill, the well-known railway mail clerk, died at the general hospital this morning after an extremely trying iilnes* ex- tending over the past four months. An operation was performed on Sat- tirday last in the hope of giving relief, but without avail, the end coming to- day. The deceased lady has a large circle of friends in Winnipeg. She was a daughter of Mr. Geo. Wyatt, Of London, Ont., and a niece of Mr. Itobt, Wyatt, of this city, She was in her 84th year, Deceased's father left for Winnipeg immediately* upon re- eeipt of the sad neevs, and interment will not be held until Sunday after- noon, in order that he may be present. The funeral will leave the residence of Mr, 1Robt, Wyatt, Smith street, for Elmwood cemetery." The Mr, Youhill referred to in the above le the young - eat son of Mr, S. Youhill of Wingharn and resided here for a number of years with hie parents. lie has many old friends and aequaintanees here Who will sympathise with him in hie bad bereavement, Death Of Another Senator. Hon. James Dever, Senator, St, John, N. B. died in St, Luke's hospital Ottawa, on Saturday last, of aente kidney trouble, aged 70 years, He was one of the fathers of the Senate, having been appointed in 1808, He was a Liberal, but did not come into any special prominence, being a mon of quiet, retiring disposition. The body was removed from the hospital to a room in the Senate, and on Monday taken to Montreal by the 0. P. R. Short Line train, thence to St. John, where the obsequies were con- ducted, Railway Accident. The morning train from Wingham, on Tuesday of last week, killed two fine cows at the crossing near Londes- boro. One was kilted outright and carried rode on the front of the engine and had to be pulled off by the train crew ; the other unfortunate beast was badly maimed and bruised and was put out of business to end its suf- fering. There was a bunch of cattle on the crossing, hat those two bad got across the cattle guard and were standing on the track and took no notice of the approaching train. They were the property of Mr. South- combe. A Fish Yarn. We have not yet heard any good fish yarns from around hero but one comes from the Lachine waters, which states that an angler was amaz- ed when he )et down a long salmon line with a frog attached in St. Mary's lake, Hincks township, and thought he must have run foul of a lost sub- marine launch. He soon discovered that he was playing with a fierce rush- ing monster of tremendous weight through a hundred feet of deep water. He had a hard time in getting it land- ed, but with the help of his boatman, after working with it nearly all the afternoon, succeeded in getting it on shore,- still fighting but pretty well fagged out. when it proved to be a grey trout . of forty-three pounds weight. It was the gamest and toughest fish he ever fought. Mr. Conway Promoted. On Tuesday evening last a large number of the young men of the town assembled at the residence of Mrs, Foy to extend congratulations to Mr, 0. W. Conway, of the Dominion Bank staff, on his promotion, and to express their regrets at his departure for the town of Wingham. A sumptuous re- past was prepared. Dr. Johnstone was called upon to act as chairman, and for over two hours the merry throng gave vent to their appreciation of Mr, Conway in speech, verse, song and story. Mr. Conway replied brief- ly in a feeling manner, thanking all for the kindness shown to hint since his coming to Whitby, and expressing his regrets at leaving the good old town. Mr. Conway, by his amiable manner, has endeared himself to the hearts of the young folks of Whitby. On the field of sport be bas always taken an active part, and especially will his departure be felt by the hockey club, who consider him one of their fastest and most expert playera. Although everyone regrets the de- parture of Mr. Conway, still it is a matter of happiness to know that his ambition, energy and cleverness are responsible for his rapid promotion, and that Whitby's loss will be Wing - ham's gain.—[Whitby Gazette. Me. Conway takes the place of Mr. Percy Greer, who has been removed to Win- nipeg. We welcome Mr. Conway to Wingham believing he will bea, good acquisition in the field of sport and that he will not regret his removal from Whitby, Weather Forecasts. The following is a synopsis of the weather forecasts for May, as given by Rev. Irl R. Hicks:—About the 1st to the 3rd look for change to very warn, starting in the west and spread- ing eastward. If a sudden high bar- ometer develops behind the rain and thunder storms about the 10th, regions to the northward may look for frost. The regular storm period is central about the 14th. Look for change to warmer about the 14th when the bar- ometer will again fall to low readings and another series of rain, wind and thunder storms will take up their east- ward march across the country, culmi- nating on the 10th, Great and sudden revulsions from warm to nnseasonably Cool are characteristics of the Venus perturbations, and when these Venus periods fail in the month of May, the wildest electrical storms are often fol- lowed by surprising changes to cold and frost. More or less of such phe- nomena will be realized during all the first half of the present month. The next return of storm Conditions will be from the 20th to 23rd, with marked change to Warmer and more active stoetns of thunder and rain. Another change to quite cool for the season will some with the high barometer be- hind these storms. The last storm period for the month is central on the 20th, covering the 21th to 20th. This period Will COme in with rising tem- perature, the barometer will fall de. cidediy in all western parte by the 20th and during the 27th, 28th and 29th most parts of the country will be touched by active storm? in their east• ward sweep across the country. Aa to the general outlook for May, we believe that it will be up to or above the average in warmth. NOTES OF TRAVEL. A TRANSCONTINENTAL TRIP. (BY $1,00 PER YEAR IN' ADVANCE THEA BX ITort) N Last week, the editor brought his readers to• the point where Kitnsas City was in sight at 12.30 (noon) on rhursday, April 28th. Here the wea- ther was noticeably warmer, the grass beautifully green, willows and similar soft wood trees in leaf, plum trees in bloom, and fall wheat from six to eight inches high, We cross the lofty Sibley bridge, two-fifths of a mite long and 135 feet above the muddy-Iooking Missouri River, There are evidences of the recent floods in the destrnction of several bridges across the Missouri, and in the layer of sand deposited up- on the fields by the river. Kansas City has a population of per- haps 225,000. It ties chiefly in the State of Missouri, except that part across the river in the State of Kansas. Bold, high bluffs skirt the edge of the city. There was a time when Kansas Oity was noted altnoat entirely for its live stock industry, its great packing houses and its grain market. These are still important, but it is also a great railway, manufacturing and dis- tributing centre. Geologists claim that Kansas, through which State we travel after leaving Kansas City, was once the bed of a great inland sea, that deposited salt, gypsum and marble. In its rocky strata have been found mammoth fos- sils of elephants, rhinoceroses, and aquatic monsters of almost unpro- nounceable names, whose skeletons now adorn the national museums. Leaving Kansas City, we skirt for many miles the banks of the Missouri and soon reach Lawrence, famous as having once scene been the ac n of the Quantrell raid (by the guerilla of that name) and the massacre of its defence- less citizens. It is now a peaceful town, the seat of the University of Kansas, and the Haskell Institute, a most successful school for Indians. Topeka; the State capital, is soon passed. Apple orchards were in leaf and several very large orchards were passed covering from fifty to one hun- dred acres ; here also potato•planting was in progress. Between Topeka and Emporia. the next place of stop- ping, the fields are dotted with soft coal mines, but appearances indicate that the black mineral is not mined for shipment but merely for home con- sumption. Here, the fine barns, driv- ing sheds and stables, so often seen in Ontario, never lo, are ne er seen. Corn is the great crop. Farm buildings consist of a small frame house, the outbuildings, a corncrib, and even these are not Large, by no means intended to hold the whole crop when husked. The greater part of the corn is husked and marketed in the fall. The corn stalks are left standing. During the winter, the cattle eat them down. Anything that remains is plowed under. Shelter for cattle or stabling is easily arranged by means of a few poles, and a few loads of corn -stalks ; hence no barns are seen. When all the lumber must be shipped in, the less the number of buildings, the better for the farmer's purse. At Hutchinson, we are in western Kansas,' and the scene changes from farming to ranching lands. Instead of farm houses and corn fields, we now see the ranch house, vast stretches of uncultivated land, the cow -boy in the saddle, with here and there fields of the nutritious alfalfa clover, its beauti- ful green a pleasing contrast to the surroundings. As Friday morning dawns (April 29) we cross the line be- tween Kansas and Colorado and enter the latter State, or the "Centennial State." We are now in tnountain time, and for the second titne since leaving Wingham, we put our watch back one hour. As we enter Colorado, we are on a vast plateau 4000 feet above the sea, and rising every mile. We are in the arid or dry region. Immense ridges are seen here and there. These we learn are the reservoirs dug out to catch and hold the water as it rolls down the hills. These reservoirs fol- low the contour of the hills and are of immense capacity. Frorn those the water is let out into large ditches, and from these into smaller ones, and thus the fields are irrigated. Four miles west of Holly, just over the Colorado line, is the little colony estab)iehed by the Salvation Army in 1898 under the name of Fort Amity. To benefit those who desired to trove out of the crowded cities, the S. A. obtained 1800 acres of land and settled 250 colonists, It, is said that the scheme was fairly successful. We are now approaching the foot- hills and winding in among them, con- etantty rising in our altitude. Barren lands ; for miles on each side of the track there is neither tree nor house in sight. Here and them, groups of cow -boys may he seen. The stock is of the scrub kind, and the horses of the broncho variety. About the only valuable thing here npperently i8 the pare Colorado air, which at, the alti- tude of a mile abovo the sea is the purest and is most invigorating, and certainly abundant. Tfinidad, Colorado, is soon reached. Social Evening. L'sst Thursday evening a very plea- sant social time was spent by the teachers and officers of the Metho- dist Sunday School at the home of the Superintendent and his wife, Dr. and Mes, Towler, A large variety of games, an excellent lunch, singing, etc„ passed awry the evening and all left after spending a thoroughly enjoyable time. $200,000 Libel Suit. The Dr. R. V. Pierce Co, of Buffalo has brought a suit for libel against the publishers of The Ladies' Home Journal of Philadelphia for $100,000 daineges, It is claimed by the Dr. Pierce Co, that the Journal recently published an attack on patent Medi. cines, and stated that the well-known remedy called De, ''ieree's favorite prescription contained. 17 per sent of alcohol, also certain drugs, and that these ingredients Inde the medicine harmful and dangerons, The sworn complaint has been filed in the Clerk's trftiee at .HIRalo, and *lime that the Above statement is false in every particuler. o. i Here the houses of adobe (a -do -bay) are seen in abundance ; many of them very, very small and only ono storey in height, They are really built of clay. Some of them plastered rough- cast oirtside but all of a reddish clay color. Here it is quite cool, and an overcoat is comfortable. We have passed considerable alkali land, some of it as white as salt, Here and there on the prairie, the cactus may be seen in abundance. Near here, we saw a farmer digging a reservoir for stock - watering and irrigation purposes. Ile is plowing the top and throwing the soil out. He will then trainp it solid, making it almost as watertight as cement, Trinidad is considered a health re- sort for consumptives, There is here a fine Sanitarium and the grounds are dotted with tents, where many of the patients reside. The city is the centre of large coal, coke, iron and wool in- dustries. A fine hate), of the mission style of architecture, is at the station, It is finished in the red clay, adobe style, and is named The Cardenas, the name of a Spanish captain of 1510, said to be the first white man who saw the Grand Oanyon. At Morley, we cross the boundary and enter New Mexico, A little later we begin to climb the mountain grade and two powerful mountain engines are now necessary. Spanish Peaks are now visible, the tops of them showing patches or fields of snow. Occasionally, we catch a glimpse of their tops, through the clouds that overhang them. We are now in Ra- ton Pass over the Rocky Mountains. Curves so sharp are necessary here, that you can see both ends of the train and the first five and last five cars. Just in the Pass, a thunderstorm bursts upon us, and the sound of the thunder reverberating among the peaks is quite an experience to one who has never seen a mountain range, A little later, we find ourselves in a snowstorm, uearly 8000 feet above the level of the sea. A third engine is uow attached to our train to assist it through the mountain pass. We are now in a genuine blizzard of snow that would do even Wingham credit, We are now near the crest of the Rockies, and plunge into a tunnel. Soon we are on the descent but seldom get below an altitude of 5000 feet, Twenty-five years ago, the journey we are now making in comfort, was a wild adventure, costing arduous travel for months, and accompanied by mach danger, on account of Indian tribes and scarcity of water; for having got out of the mountains, we have left rain and snow behind and are again in the arid region. Now we make the journey with the comfort and speed of a Pullman car. The advent of the railway brought peace and security, The once murderous Apache Indian has been decimated and is harmless. The influx of Angio -Saxon population accounts for this, though New Mexico still has 9,500 Pueblo Indians, 4000 Navajoes and nearly 1500 Apaches. New Mexico is a land of broad ranch- es, where thousands of cattle and countless herds of sheep thrive on the nutritious grasses. It only requires the fertilizing rains (or irrigation) to cause its broad plains to yield their increase, and orchards their fruitage, Passing along in the train, the travel- ler sees not a single faun building. The ranchers and cowboys gather in villages, At the railway stations may be seen the Indian, the Mexican and the Spaniard, or combinations of all. Los Vegas is reached for lunch. It is the commercial capital of the nor- thern part of New Mexico, and second city for size in the Territory ; popula- tion 8000. From Los Vegas we cross the next range of the Rockies through Glori. etta Pass, altitude 7453 feet. Here is Starvation Peak. where (it is said) in 1800 a large band of Spaniatds were surrounded by Navajoes and str)fiewed to death. Albuquerque is the commercial met- ropolis of central New Mexico, and is the junction of three lines of the Santa Fe. One of its attractions is the new railway hotel, the Alvarado, a wide- spreading building with rough, gray walls and innumerable arches. red - tiled roof and many towers. It is over 30) feet long and 180 feet wide, and is connected by a 200 foot arcade with the Santa Fe depot. Its interior is also of Spanish model but elegant in all its parts. A special attraction here is the Museusa of Indian relics and products, collected by great effort dur- ing years of research. Albuquerque has an altitude of about 5000 feet. The winters aro open and the climate. known n': dampness. The old (Mexi- can) part of the town is mach the same as it was 200 years ago (so it is said) but the new (American) part, peopled by 10,000 Americans, is up-tn-date and is the product of the Santa Fe railway. Around the city the Pueblo Wiens of the Rio Grande valley live very much the same as they did before the white man carne upon the scene, (To be continued.)
