had 1,200 feet in it. Such logs as
these are scarce in this vicinity now.

Town Council Please Note,
The Boll Telephone Co., have in
consideration of a five years' franchise
at Listowel, placed long distance tele-
phones in the town hall, at the water-
works pumping station, and in the
high and public schools, Tho Bell Co.
agree not to increase the price of
telephones to town subscribers during
the tern! of the franchise. In view of
this, , the question naturally arises,
what does the Town of Wingharn get
from the Bell Telephone Co. for the use
of our streets ? Not a single phone,
that we know of; besides we pay a
good price for our fire alarm system.
$1le Not Completed,
Two weeks ago we reported the sitle
of the Fishleigh hardware stock, by
the recent purchaser, Mr. Davis, to
Mr. B. Gerry of Listowel. Since then
the parties have been taking stock,
preparatory to a transfer of the busi-
ness. When the stock sheets were
added and the time caste for comple-
tion of the transfer, some dispute
arose, of which eaclr• party has his
own version. The result at time of
writing, so far as we can learn, is --
that for the present the deal appears
to be "off," and Mr. Davis has re-
opened the store. Whether legal pro-
ceedings will follow remains to be
seen.
Girl's Hockey Game.
On Thursday evening the Girls'
hockey team of Clinton came to Wing -
ham to play the return match with
Wingham Girls' team. The match
was well played and was witnessed by
quite a number of our citizens. ' The
Citizens' Band' was in attendance,. and
enlivened the event with choice selec-
tions. The game resulted in a tie, two
goals being registered for each team.
Mr. J. Doherty of Clinton was referee
of the game. The following were the
players

Are Kindly Treated.
Some time ago Mr. Arthur Cantelon
of Clinton wrote to the County Clerk,
charging that the instates of the
House of Refuge were not humanely
treated. More recently a communica-
tion appeared in the Advance, reitera-
ting those charges, in effect. Last
week the .house of Refuge Cornrnittee
of the County Council met and investi-
gated the charges. Mr. Cantelon was
not able to substantiate his state-
ments by means of witnesses. Mr.
French, the keeper, and Dr. Shaw, the
physician, gave evidence as ,to the
proper treatment of the inmates. On
careful examination, the Coinmittee
found that there was no foundation
for the charges, and after interview-
ing Mr. Cantelon, the latter admitted
he had been mistaken, fully retracted
his statements. and is now convinced
that lie was in error when he made
the charges. The Advance is pleased
to hear that those who have charge of
Huron county House of Refuge treat
the inmates with kindness, and that
in case of sickness the latter receive
every eare and attention. It would
have been better had Mr. Cantelon in-
vestigated the matter before making
the charges public.

of The hockey sensim in Wingham
• was brought to at successful close on
Frida, venin s when the mem-
s• bets and officers of the club were ban-
e ()netted at the Hotel National by heir
c supporters, The evening was plea, satntly spent in speech -making, songs
and music. President VatnStono was
in the chair and the toast of "Hockey"
f was responded to by D. D. Wilson

d The wee small hours had arrived and
lamps were lighted and all sang
' several songs together and the happy
✓ gathering broke up after passing a
vote of thanks to Mr. Hanson and
e Wingham Hockey Club. A few
points of interest to the public with
n regards the club might not come
s amiss, for the club started under just
fair prospects. Organization meeting
was called in November and decide
' to enter Northern League and the
• team was grouped with Listowel, Luck -
now and Palmerston. The boys got
_ to practise and when Lucknow opened
season here Dec, 81, were in A 1 con-
dition, winning by a score of 9 to 4,
Hippo showing Winghamites the
game he could play. Several exhibi-
tion games were played and won by
the local team. then Listowel was
attacked, which proved to be easy
picking and Wingham won out 0 to 3,
and a.eyes were on the Winghaln
team after the Cup, but Lucknow had
won at Palmerston and were out to
win at home and did so, but by
methods far from honorable, and
Listowel now seeing her case hopeless
dropped out, When Wingham won
at Palmerston there was a tie in the
district, which was :;'cicled by home
and home games, and "Wingham won
out by 12 goals on round. and were
pitted against Harriston which had
won 2 districts. It took three of the
fastest games of hockey ever played in
the district to decide the winners, but
Wingham had won 3 to 1 and thus
holds Championship and Silver
Trophy in the Northern League. The
team went through the season with
only 10 players, namely: Goal, Moore;
Point, Wilson ; Cover, Harrington ;
Rover, Johnston ; Forwards, Elliott,
Flenrniio g and Hippo Galloway ;
Spares, McLean, McGillivray and Con-
way. They won 13 games and lost
only 3, scoring 102 goals and were
scored on only 40 times during the
season. The management feel proud
of the woek of the team and wish to
thank their supporters for the way
they have helped the team at home
and away,

who made the paper cabinets acts in the
Advance office, that for convenience
and appearance are admired by every

Death Of Mrs. Dulmage.
Before many of our citizens had
even heard that Mrs, Anson Dulmage
of Wingham was i11, the sad news of
her death carpe with startling sudden-
ness. The deceased lady had been in
her usual health up to Thursday, and
on that evening ate her supper with
her family, She was then obliged to
retire to her bed, and notwithstand-
ing all that could be done for her, she
passed away on Saturday evening at
6.30, after an illness of only 48 hours.
The deceased was a slaughter of the
late Col. T. Smith of Clifford, and had
been a faithful wife, a loving and de-
voted mother. Front the time she
was taken i11, she was impressed with
the thought that it was her last ill-
ness ; she expressed herself as ready
for the change, and her last hours
were spent in loving counsels to those
from whom site was soon to be parted.
Service was held at the residence on
Monday evening, conducted by Rev.
T)r. Gandy, assisted by ltev. W. Lowe
and Rev. N. But'wash. The retrains
were taken to Clifford and intert'ed in
