ment that Hon. A, G. Blair has re-
signed from the Railway Commission.
It le said in some quarters that he will

In Breach of Promise,
The Toronto daily papers report
that M. S. Kennedy (formerly of
Wingham) has been figuring in a
breach of promise law -suit. In dis-
missing the suit, Justice Street said
that the defendant Kennedy had act-
ed in a most rascally and scandalous
manner towards the plaintiff, Miss
Emma Pollard, of Toronto, and
though obliged to dismiss the action,
he allowed the defendant no costs.
A Runaway.
Mr. Robt. Taylor of East Wawa -
nosh was un: riding some produce at

back was turned, the team ran away.
By making short turns, etc., they soon
became separated from the waggon,
and when they got on the street, ran
into a post in front of the Dominion
Bank, and were caught soon after,
comparatively little damage being
done.
Money Lost.
On Monday last during the stir caus-
ed by the presence of the Premier,
suns of money disappeared from the
pockets of several•present at the dein-
onstration. One man' lost $90, an-
other $7, and a third, $16; besides a
number of others who found them-
selves mints their cash. In Lucknow,
the losses were even more numerous.
Losses are also reported from Clinton:
There are suspicions that pickpockets
from some of the cities took advan-
tage of the crowd to help themselves
to the cash in other people's pockets.
LOST --In Wingham, a small box
containing eight souvenir spoons.

Bishop Baldwin. •
Widespread regret was expressed
on Saturday on receipt of the news
that the Bishop of Huron bad been
stricken with paralysis, and that there
was little hope of his recovery. Spe-
cial prayers were offered on Sunday
last for his recovery, for throughout
the diocese, Bishop Baldwin was re-
vered and Ioved. Rev. Mr. Lowe re-
ceived word on Wednesday morning,
that the physicians expected the
Bishop to linger until Friday, but
there is not the slightest hope of his
recovery. It is intimated that Arch-
deacon Williams of Stratford is likely
to be the Bishop's successor.

Might Have Been Serious,
On Monday afternoon while the
crowd was at the G. T. R. station
waiting for the train to bear Sir Wil-
frid to Lucknow, two ladies drove
down Josephine street in a buggy be-
longing to Andrew McKagne of Cul-
ross. The C.P.R. train was going out
rapidly, and the ladies failed to' notice
it until they were close to the cross-
ing. One of the lines fell out of the
driver's hands, and the horse turned
round quite short upsetting the buggy
as the train rushed past. Se- far as
can be ascertained, the Indies escaped
serious injury, but it was a close call.

Apple Prices.
As a result of reports received from
all parts of the Province, the Cana-
dian Horticulturist announces in its
October issue that the apple crop of
the Province this year is not nearly as
large as last and that the same is true
throughout the United States. There
is little reason for the bearish re-
ports of buyers concerning the large
crops. While there is a large amount
of poor fruit throughout Ontario, the
general quality is good, and growers
should realize' better prices than are
being offered, For No. 1 and No. 2
which is good, growers should not ac-
cept less than 75 cents to $1 per bar-
rel on the tree, where considerable
quantities of fruit can he given the
buyer. Reports received by the
Horticulturist show that buyers are
offering from 25 to 75 cents per bar-
rel for fruit.

Farewell To Dr. Towler.
A pleasing episode occurred on Sun-
day last, at the close of the exercises
in the Methodist Sunday School in
this town. It was known that Dr.
and Mrs. Towler were about to leave
Wingham, to spend the winter in
California. For many years, the doc-
tor has devoted himself to the in-
terests of the school, and Mrs. Towler
has been the faithful teacher of the
ladies' Bible class ; hence it was but
fitting that the officers, teachers, and
children should have the opportunity
of bidding them farewell (for the pre-
sent). Mr. Buchanan took the chair
and Mr. Fessant then read an address
to Dr. and Mrs. Towler, expressing
appreciation of their faithful ser-
vices on behalf of the school, wish-
ing them a safe journey and speedy
return. Several of the officers and
teachers added their testiinony of ap-
preciation. The school then sang part
of the hymn—"Blest be the tie' that
binds." Dr. Towler replied, express-
ing appreciation of the references to
himself and Mrs. Towler in the kindly -
worded address, and wishing the
school continued success. Mr, Mor-
ton then arranged the school so that
teachers and scholars walked pest the
platform, where all had the op-
portnnity of shaking Brands with their
faithful Superintendent and his wife.
As they marched past, the hymn
"God be with you till we meet again"
was sung. The service was well ar-
ranged and most; impressive. Dr. and
Mrs. Towler left on Monday for the
Pacific Coast State. The Advance
wishes them a pleasant trip and safe
return.

it looked as though the building could
not be saved but the firemen soon had
water playing on the building and the
fire under control, The inside of the
building and the roof are badly
damaged, but not beyond repair. Mr.
Kruse's stock was damaged, by water,
the inside of the building being flood-
ed. The building belongs to Jas. Mc-
Kelvie. At time of writing the losses
cannot be ascertained, but it is
thought they will bo covered by in-
surance. Mr. Kruse has been unfor-
tunate, as this is the second time he
has suffered since coming to Wing-
hatn. It is not known how the fire
originated.

WHAT HON. A. G. BLAIR SAID ABOUT
THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier declared Hon.
A. G. Blair to be—"The highest rail-
way authority in Canada." Here are
a few of the statements of Mr, Blair
about the Railway scheine on which
Sir Wilfrid declares his Government
will stand or fall. We quote from the
speech of Mr. Blair in the House, the
following :--
' 1. "A defective and unjustifiable
measure."
2. "An utterly insane and indefen-
sible thing."
3. "A project that has not smelt to
recommend it."
4. "The whole proposal is ill-con-
sidered, a grave mistake."
5. "A grave and egregious error
that may deal disaster to the future of
this country."
6. "Plunging headlong into this
thing is an unwise, injudicious and
unbusiness -like way."
7. "We are being led in a kind of
hysterical frenzy to adopt ideas that
are wholly and absolutely impracti-
cal."
8. "Such a spectacle I do not think
has ever been presented to the know-
ledge or observation of any human be-
ing since the world began."
9, "It is a total and absolute waste
of public money. It is not only a de-
struction of the Intercolonial Railway
but it is a sheer, unjustifiable squan-
dering of the public money.
10. "Turn it over, turn it back, ex-
amine it, right and left, inside and
outside, and it fails to present to me a
single redeeming feature in any phase
of it, frons beginning to end."
A VOTE" Fon Dn. CRISIfoLM
will be your disapproval of the raiI-
way scheme that Hon. Mr. Blair, ex -
Minister of Railways in the Laurier
Government, and the "Highest rail-
way authority in Canada," condemns
so strongly in the above extracts.

PRAISE INDEED FOR BORDEN.
(From The Toronto Globe.)
"We are ready and willing to give Mr. Borden full
credit for what The Mail and Empire calls his complete
sincerity. lie is so respectable and honorable, and withal
so much superior to other Conservative leaders we have
known, that The Globe has many times taken occasion to
congratulate the country on the personal qualities of his
leadership."
NOTE AND COMMENT.
—North Renfrew was so long va-
cant, that it is not much wonder that
it took so much money to get it filled
again.
—.The lists of 1903 will be Treed in all
the South Bruce municipalities except
Culross. Incthis municipality the 1904
lists will be used.
—The elections come off on Nov. 3 ;
some one asks whether the smile on
the candidates' face will "come off"
about the sante time.
—It is said that Dunlop spent thou-
sands, in North Renfrew, but Hale
(according to his own sworn state-
ment) spent tens of thousands,
—To the declaration of Sir Wilfrid
that the Grand Trunk Pacific scheme
is the chief issue of the campaign,
Conservatives will lend hearty assent.
Borden and Public Ownership ; Lauri-
er and Corporation Interests 1 Which
shall it be ?
--East Huron elector—Bear this in
mind when narking your ballot—The
issue is the construction of the Grand
Trunk Pacific. If the road is a failure,
the people pay the cost ; if it is a suc-
cess the people get none of the' p rofits ;
. he profits will all go to build up for -
sums for the railway magnates.
—A vote for Dr. Chisholm will be
your protest against 150 millions being
spent on a railway scheine of which
Hon. Mr. B1aic (Liberal) says :—
"Turn it over, turn it back, ex-
amine it, right and left, inside and
outside, and it fails to present to
me, a single redeeming feature, in
any phase of it, from beginning
to end."
—It has become a by -phrase that
"Cok and Hays can't wait" in this
transcontinental railway business.
Let them try! Waiting for 150 mill-
ion dollars of the country's money
won't hurt thein, as Hutch as it will
hurt the farmers of this country to
wait all the rest of their lives for the
debt.to be paid off, which this railway
will create.
—Election day is November 3rd.
Cast your ballot, for Dr. Chisholm. It
will be your rebuke to the Hien who
have violated every solemn pledge
they made, before they assumed office
and then unblushingly say (as did the
Premier)—"We are here, and you are
there, what are you going to do about
it?" Electors of East Huron can "do
something about it" on Nov. 3rd.
—Premier Laurier states that the
Grand Trunk Pacific will only cost
fourteen millions. The Toronto News
very properly calls this an "airy fic-
tion. The News adds—"The Premier
omits to mention that Canada must
raise at least $75,000,000, and be re-
sponsible for a great litany millions
more which the Grand Trunk Pacific
will raise on a government guaran-
tee."
—Judging from the picture in Tues-
day's Globe of those npon the platform
at Premier Laurier's meeting in Wing -
ham, it is a matter of profound thank-
fulness that the Globe artist did not
present our Conservative citizens with
such woe -begone countenances on the
occasion of Mr. Borden's visit. The
Liberals on the platform may well
pray to be delivered from their friends
—at least from the Globe artist.
million dollars, East Huron electors
should not forget that in referring to
expenditure under the Conservative
Government, of 38 millions, ti it Wil-
frid said, in 1896
"We ean reduce the expenditure
by two, yes, three million dollars
a year."
The fact is, that he has increased it
every year, until now it is almost 78
million, or double what it then was.
Is Sir Wilfrid's statement regarding
the railway likely to contain any
more truth than his promise as to the
expenditure ?
—Quebec seems to be the favored
spot in Canada with, Liberals. The
coming election will be held on the
voters' lists of last year in Ontario,
white in Quebec this year's lists will
be used. This is a disadvantage that
the electors should not fail to take
notice of in Ontario, when marking
their ballots. Another advantage the
electors of Quebec Province have over
ns, is that by their franchise, it is
not a case of one man one vote as in
Ontario, but every elector has as
manyvotes as he has property quali-
fications in different electoral dis-
tricts. This is entirely wrong, and of-
fers an additional reason why the
present administration is not entitled
to the confidence of the people.
--It is said that at his reeent visit to
Wingham, Sir Wilfrid intimated in
Itis speech -- that Mr. Borden was
not the leader of the Conservative
party, but that Mr, McLean of the
Toronto World was leader. Surely
Mr, Laurier raider -rated the intel-
ligence

e l of 1718 aii(11( lige or he must

—Canada has already given $237,-

land to railways. Sir Wilfrid Lauri -

Intel, commencing a few minutes be-
fore twelve and over by one o'clock,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier spoke about thirty
or thirty-five minutes, and, the im-
pression made upon many svho had
heard hila before, was that he was
failing. His address lacked the en-
ergy and inspiration manifested in
days past, and being brief, did not
meet the expectations of many who
came some dietance, expecting more
than a half-hour's address of ordinary
talk. The feeling, even among many
Liberals, was one of disappointment,
nor did the Premier's presence arouse
the enthusiasm that was anticipated,
It Was evidently expected that the
meeting would last longer, for when
the party drove to the station the

Dr. Fothergill's
Where will
On Monday last, the Premier of the
Dominion, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, ad-
dressed a mass meeting in Lucknow.
It was arranged to have him stay off
in Wingham for a couple of hours and
address an audience in the Opera
House. The Liberals made suitable
preparations to welcome their leader,
and the streets were decorated with
streamers bearing such mottoes as
"An all Canadian railway," "Pros-
perity and progress," "Laurier and
larger Canada," etc., etc. The Pre-
mier arrived in his private car at 11.30
a. m. and was met at the station by a
reception committee and a crowd of
admirers. Wingham Citizens' Band
was there and preceded the procession
to the Town Hall, where a large audi-
ence had gathered to hear the Premier
deliver an address. A number of lead-
ing Liberals of this vicinity were upon
the platform, and the hall had been
suitably decorated.
It was nearly twelve o'clock, when
the Premier, accompanied by Lady
Laurier, reached the Town Hall.
As the Premier and Lady Laurier en-
tered the hall, the choir of the Presby-
terian church, led by Prof. Cline, sang
"God save the King" and "Rule Bri-
tannia," and at a later stage "The
Maple Leaf." Mrs. Macdonald, Mrs.
Horsey, Miss Macdonald, Mrs. Clegg,
Mrs. Burns and Miss Mackenzie consti-
tuted a committee to welcome Lady
Laurier on behalf of the ladies of town.
Mayor Vanstone read a congratula-
tory and adulatory address to the
Premier. Three little girls—Mar-
guerite Homuth, Leila Horsey and
Arlie Bisbee, prettily dressed, pre-
sented floras tributes.
The Premier referred in pleasing
terms to the pleasure he felt in visit-
ing Huron county, and his apprecia-
tion of the cordiality of Iris reception.
After other general remarks he pro-
ceeded to endeavor to reply to Mr.
Borden's remarks on the Transconti-
nental railway. The Premier pre-
sented his side of the case in his usual
able planner, and his remarks were
received with occasional applause.
At the same time, it did not appear
that he was successful in slaking it
clear to the electors that the proposed
road would only cost fourteen million
dollars. The Premier is a graceful
speaker, with a slightly French AC-
re1ut, and is of pleasing address. At
tunes, no doubt, he is capable of elo-
quently presenting his ideas, but it
would appear to its that in his address
on Tuesday, he (lid not give the audi-
ence at clear and full idea of the tre-
mendous fur rldolts r c tipolnsibilities line country
must shoulder, if his scheine of the
Transcontinental railway is carried
out as now provided. In Concluding
his address Sir Wilfrid said he carne
to the electors of Huron and Bruce
and of Ontario as a Canadian. The
limits of his country were not the
limits of his own Province, the limits
of his country were the oceans on the
east and on the west, and his eottntr y
was wherever the British flag floats
upon the continent of America. It
was With these 'remits lie closed
Isis address, "Canada first, Can-
ada last, Canada always," These, pat-
tiotie words were received with cheerer.
