W INGHAM, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 12, 190C -
African Explorer Dead,
Sir Henry M. 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
