Should Not Be. • Mr. R. 171, Burrows of East "Wewee nosh reports that on Thursday night last some person or persons called him out of his house, When he responded they cursed him and fired a gun re - velvet. or something of the kind. He claims to be a quiet, peaceable, law- abiding citizen, and as such should not be molested, We have not the slightest idea who his persecutors are, but there is no "fun" m such actions, and those indulging in. them run con- siderable risk. No good. can result from such annoyances as those x•eport- eci. by Mr. 13111TOWS• Excursion Returns.

For the past tsvo months, the Pres- byterian church in town has been un- dergoing repairs, and. this week the new pipe organ is being installed. In a sbost Wile, the work of renovation Auld improvement will be completed, and the congregation will worship in a beautiful edifice. The date of the re-opeuing services lias been fixed for October 9th, when Rev. IL 14.1. Knowles of Galt, will preach, morning and evening, Accident At Wroxeter. At the conclusion of the Convention on Tuesday night, and es people were preparing to drive home, Rev. Dunn, Whitechurela, Mrs, Dunn and Miss Bella Punic= were sitting in their buggy, waiting for some friends to start with them. An unmanageable horse behind ran into them, upsetting their buggy and with great violence throwing all three out. The crash. started Mr. Dunn's horses, which ran away, knocking down another horse (Rev. West's) that was standing in the way. Mr. Dunn and Miss Purdon es- caped uninjured, but Mrs. Dunn suf- fered a somewhat severe wound. in her back. She is doing as well as can be expected, but is not yet well enough to be moved to her home. September Wedding. A pretty September wedding creat- ed a flutter of excitement at the re- sidence of Dr. and Mrs. Macdonald, on Wednesday. • The contracting parties were Miss Nellie Macdonald and Mr. Claude Laing, formerly of the Bank of Hamilton here. The groom is a son of the late Rev. Dr. Laing, of Dundas, and has been manager of the Bank of Hamilton at Georgetown, but recent-. ly promoted. to Berlin. The interest- ing ceremony was performed by Rev. D. Perrie in the Presbyterian church, which was beautifully decorated with flowers. Miss Carrie Macdonald as- sisted the bride, who was handsomely attired in cream satin. The Misses Horsey made pretty newer girls. After congratulations, and a rich wed- ding luncheon, Mr. and Mrs. Laing took the afternoon train on their wed- ding tour. The presents received by the bride were numerous and exceed.- ingly handsome. Mr. a,nd Mrs. Laing will nsake their home in Berlin, whither the good wishes of many friends follow them. Crusade Against Consumption. Rev. P. Clifton Pax•ker, M. A., of Toronto, who is actively conducting the crusade against Consrunption, preached in the Methodist church on Sunday morning and in the Presby- terian church in the evening. His sermons were much enjoyed by the congregations. In both churches, Mr. Parker spoke of the ravages of "The White Plague" and showed how the vital statistics of the province indicat- ed. that over three times more died every month from Consumption than from all the other infectious diseases combined. We have numerous Hos- pitals for. other diseases, and only the Muskoka Hospital to treat Consump- tion. He put in the plea for the muni- cipalities uniting to extend these Hos- pitals, so as to make them of sufficient capacity to meet the demands of all the provinces. 071 Monday evening, Mr, Parker held a meeting in the Council room and went into the ques- tion more particularly, showing the insidious nature of the disease, its widespread influence, and how exhaus- tive it is of the resources of the home. The length of the disease renders iso- lation difficult, and hence tlse afflicted are kept where they are a menace to the home and community. Mr. Par- ker has induced many of the cities and towns to endow beds, and build exten- sions to the Muskoka Hospital, and he is anxious for Wingham to fall into line. At the close of the meeting, a vote of thanks was extended to Mr. Parker for his address, and a commit- tee of ladies was appointed to wait on the Cmincil with a view to getting them endow a bed in the Free Hos- pital. The following ladies were ap- pointed on the committee ;.--Mrs'A. Ross, Mrs. Corbould, Mrs. A. E. Smith, Mrs. Foment, Miss Waddel, Miss K. 3L Fisher, Mrs. Vanstone and the wives of the town clergy. Oartung Discharged. . Ernest Gartung, organizer for the Canadian Order of Foresters, who was recently arrested ma a charge ef converting a large 1311111 of the Ortler'e foils to his own use, was committed for trial Thursda.y afternoon and came before Judge Hardy next morn- ing, The Crown Attorney, Mr. Wilkes, stated that Gartung had made restitution end that the Order did not desire to prosecute, In view tie this fact that the prisoner had been very highly esteemed and that no evidence was offered against bin, judge Hardy discharged him, Worth 'Cowing. The Seaforth News says :-The salt cure for rust on wheat is being advo- cated in Dakota. Former residents of Wisconsin and other eastern states, assert that a half bushel to a bushel of salt an acre sowed breadeast on wheat - fields about th.e time the grain comes up will prove a sure preventive for , rust. It is said that if a bilshel art acre is used it is good for two years. The remedy is suggested as being Oil- catious in that state, but it would be a great task to attempt to use it on all the wheatilelds. It would be very easy to try this preventative, and we would certainly recommend the trial, If the um of salt will 'prevent rust, farmers shoulki know it, because it means a great deal to them Public Meeting, Mr. Herrington of Toronto was here last week endeavoring to interest our townsmen in the organization .of joint steak Co. for the manufacture of knitted underwear. A meeting was held in the Council Chamber on Thurs- day evening, and Mr. Herrington pre- sented figures showing the cost of machinery, etc.. and profit on the goods. Machinery, etc., would cost $12,000, and. $10,000 working capital would be required, so that about $25,- 000 would be requtred. Fifty females would be employed. He figurecl that the profits yearly would be $12,000. After our citizens' experience with joint stock affairs, they seem rather wary of investing their money in such it scheme. Mr. Herrington is a thor- oughly practical man, and presented many testimonials recommending him as a honest, reliable man, fully com- petent to conduct such a business. He did not propose however to be largely interested financially in the undertak- ing, but would take some stock. The meeting disperseci without anything practical being accomplished. FARUERS.-We will be found again this season at Gregory's/ storehouse at the G. T. R., where we are prepared to handle all kinds of grain at top prices. John Elder will be in charge. -TRH SEAFORTI1 MILLING.CO. Unexpected Demise. When the Advance announced a, few weeks ago, that W. T. A. Fish- leigh had struck one of his legs against a hand -truck in hie ware- house, little did we think, that in so short a time, it would be our duty to chronicle his death from so (apparent- ly) simple an accident, and when his death was announced on Sunday morning, it caused a sudden and un- expected sadness to pervade the com- munity. Last week, Mr. Fishleigh consulted a city homempathist and was assured that, with it few weeks' rest, he would be all right. The in - jived leg, however, begets to swell, and local physicians advised. lancing, but Mr. Fishleigh preferred following the edvice of the honneopothist. On Friday evening the symptoms became ' serious, and the city physician was summoned. On his arrival on Satur- day Afternoon, he approved of an operation, which was at once.perform- ed, but it was too late, blood -poison- ing Intel set in, and before mooning dawned, the spark of life had fled. Deceased came here front Ragersville about eighteen months ego, having bought the hardware business of Smith & Pethick ; more recently he purchased a comfortable home, and was just comfortably settled, with it successful business. He was con- scientions and uptight in his (killings, and enjoyed the esteem and con- fidence of hie fellow -townsmen. He was a member of the Methodist Church and service was .eonducted on Monday evening by Rev, Dr. Gundy. Ile leaves a widow ana one child, who MVO the shrive sympathy of the cemmunity.

NOTE AND COMMENT. -The evidence in the Soo election case showed that, although only one voter lived at Helen Mine (and be did not vote) yet the Grit candidate man- aged to roll up a majority of 23. -"Thiz•ty-two years in the saddle" may sound well, but after that length of time, a fresh horse, and a new rider will cut a better figure, and be more effective in actual service. -A telling cartoon in the Toronto News represents Premier Ross con- gratulating G. W. Ross, .31, P. P., as the last of the majority. As the mat- ter now stands, Mr. Ross himself, is his own majority. -Whiskey, bundles of $2 bills and Yankee personators am bad enough, but the climax is reached. when bogus Bibles are manufactured as it means to retain the corrupt Ross administra- tion in power. Shame! -It is not definitely decided. when the Ross -Stratton fleet, commanded by Cap. Sullivan, shall sail for the fax east to destroy Admiral Togo's battle- ships. The Minnie M. must first re- plenish her stock of liquors and cigars. -Intelligent, honest voters, who are weary of the present political con- ditions in Ontario, are now quietly comparing four elections- Centre Bruce (Conservative), Muskoka (Con- servative), and the Soo and North Perth, both Liberal, with the proven corruption in North Grey. -After the exposures of previous election trials and the Gamey charges, Premier Ross should have driven the Sullivan gang and their ilk from the circle of election workers. That he still retains them, and accepts the fruits of their work in stolen constitu- encies, shows that he is a partner in their mimes. "The receiver is as bad as the thief." -North Grey election trial was con- tinued =pit Saturday but not conclud- ed, and is postponed until October 31s1. Corruption was proven to be abundant, but ageney estab- lished to the satisfaction of the judges. When the Globe stated that the trial was postponed because the Conserva- tives were not ready to proceed, it stated what was not true. The trial was postponed because the judges were dated for another trial. -The question is asked : "Why does the Ross Government allow, permit or countenance such disgraceful electem methods P The answer is easy :-The people are against the Government, and the only way they can win .elee- tions and retain power is to strangle the voice of the people, mid counnit political crime by attacks on the bal- lot box. Nothing is too sacred to be trampled upon, When the Sacred Book itself is to be mocked, by the use of a bogus Bible to carry out the purposes of the machine. • -Centre Bruce election protest against Hugh Clark (Conservative). of Kincardine, was hosed on Tuesday. No evidence was offered, and the pro- test was dismissed in ten minutes. Hugh Clark is eonfirmed in his seat. What accentuates his election are the facts that -Centre Brum had been re- garded as a "safe" Grit riding,and Mr. Clark won the election, single- handed =id alone, svhile the Orit can - Write had several members of the Govethment and a, host of heelers to help him. Vimgretulationts Hugh. Centre Bence emphasizes the Ltd that Ontario is sick a ow present Ontario administration. Give the electorate a fair chance at it once More, and see them whack it.
