A Large Attendance.
Wingham School opened on Mon-
day after Easter vacation, with a largo
attendance. Miss Matheson gathered
around her in the old Congregational
church, seventy-five little ones; too
many for one teacher. Several of the
other departments are reported full,
and it looks as if the engagement of
the tenth teacher could not long be
avoided. The question of permanent
aucl sufficient school accommodation
is one that the Trustees and the Town
must face before long,

Oddfellows' Service.
Wingham Oddfellows attended Di-
vine service on Sunday afternoon last,
in the Baptist church. The pastor,
Rev. N. A. McLean, B.A., preached
an excellent and appropriate sermon,
and it was thoroughly enjoyed and
appreciated by the brethren, of whom
there were about ninety present, in -
chiding visitors from surrounding
lodges. It was a fitting way to ob-
serve the 80th anniversary of the Or-
der. Wingham has a strong lodge,
that is doingits part in relieving the
sick, and assisting the widow and or-
phan.
License Commissioners.
West Huron License Commissioners
are evidently endeavoring to dis-
charge their duties faithfully. The
Clinton New Era reports as follows "Heretofore the hour of closing bars
has been 10 p.m., for hotels in villages
or townships, and 11 for hotels in
towns. The Commissioners have
changed this to 9 and 10 p.m. respec-
tively. So far as the work of the
Commissioners is concerned they have
evidently tried to do their duty fairly;
that they did not show political bias
is proven by the fact that the only
hotels refused license, Boggs, in Col-
borne, and King's, at Goderich, aro
owned by Conservatives."
Please Return Them.
Several of oar citizens report the
theft of things left outside. A. keg of
soap disappeared from one back door,
a hoe from another, etc. A lady on
Centre street reports the loss of two
fine house plants and pots ; she had
carefully tended them alt winter, and
set them out upon the veranda ; in the
morning they were gone. She promis-
es not to give the. party's name who
took them, if they will return them at
once. They may be left on the veran-
da, after night, as sneakingly as they
were taken, and nothing more will be
said about it,; otherwise -well, a word
to the wise is sufficient, It is difficult
to conceive of a lover of flowers, being
so lost to a sense of honor, as to steal
thein.

evening. The object of the gathering
was to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Haines

ing been an active member of the

and an impromptu program enjoyed,
consisting of vocal and instrumental
music, recitations, etc„ after which a,

Death Of Mrs. King.
We regret this week to report the
death of Mrs. Peter King of hast Wa-
wanosh. Deceased had been ill for
three weeks with kidney trouble and
passed the boundary of time early on
Wednesday morning, May 3rd. For
many years she had- resided with her
family on their farm near the Brick
church, and enjoyed the confidence
and esteem of all who knew her. It is
a strange coincidence, that Mrs. King,
and the late Mrs. Hanna, who resided
on adjoining farms so many years,
have been both laid to rest within
three days of each other. Mrs. King
leaves a sorrowing husband, four. eons
and four daughters -William, Charles
and Alex. are at home, Robt. in Mani-
toba.; the daughters are Mrs. Fergu-
son and Mrs. Martin of Manitoba, Mrs.
Baird of Michigan, and Miss Annie at
home. Deceased was in her 65th year,
and was a member of Calvin Presby-
terian Church. Interment took place
on Friday.

By -Law Proposed.
As will be seen by. the Council min-
utes, the Council has not thought it
wise to submit a By-law for water-
works for domestic purposes, or for a
trunk sewer. The facts seem to be
these -The flume at the wheel -house
must be repaired at considerable cost,
or our fire protection may suddenly
collapse; an improvement of our pre-
sent system appears to be a necessity,
or our insurance rates may increase.
The Council propose to submit a By-
law authorizing the expenditure of
$9,000, and. with this it is proposed to
put in a steel flume, erect a stand -pipe
and extend the mains necessal'y for
connection with stand -pipe. This
would not give water for domestic
purposes, but would give first-class
fire protection, with this advantage
that none of the work done or money
expended world be lost, but all would
be available if, in the futnre, it was
decided to extend the system for do-
mestic water supply. This system, if
a dynamo were placed at the wheel-
house, could be used to furnish electric
power, and. the water for sale to the
factories, railways, ete., R is chained,
world produce sufficient revenue to
meet the amnia debenture. The
scheme is worth carefnl consideration
by every property owner. The By-law
has not yet been prepared.
A Mother Gone.
There passed away on Sunday last
at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Alex. Young, one of the pioneers of
this district, Elizabeth Ruddy, relict
of the late Campbell Hanna. Deceas-
ed was beim in the eounty of Armagh,
treland, nearly seventy-five years ago,
and came with her parents to Canada
when quite young. Soon after her
mareiege, or about the year 1854, she
came with her late husband to the
township of East NVawanosh, then
just opening for' settlement. The
gravel road through Wingham to
Clinton was then not built, and East
Wawanosh was reached from Gode-
rich, Deceased bore her share of the
toil and privations incident to clearing
up a farm in a new country. She
was known as a, kindly, sympathetic
neighbor, and a true christian. Her
husband cleared the farm on which
the Brick church in East Wawanosh
stands, and es & consistent member of
tiro Methodist Church, the deceased
will be remembered by the early set -
tiers remaining. Of her fatuity of six
daughters and one son, only, one
daughter remains, Mrs. Alex. Young
of Wingham, with whom she had re-
sided for several years, 'While health
permitted she was a faithful at-
tendant on the services of the Church
of her choice. For the past two years
she has not enjoyed the best of health,
but on Sunday night retired to /eft
as usual. Soon alter. Mr. and Me&
Young hetuel a eall, and immediately
responded, but the messenger had
comp, and in a few moments, the
spark of life bad fled. Interment took
place in Wingham cemetery on Tues-
day.

This will be the name of an institu-
tion to be established in Wingham,
and it is proposed to have everything
in readiness to open September ist, or
sooner if necessary. The suitability
of Wingharn as a place for a school of
this kind has been recognized for
some time, and several have looked
over the field of prospects. Last
week, Mr. Geo. Spotton, of the
Listowel Business College, was in
town, and decided to establish a Col-
lege here. Mr. Spotton announces
that this is to be a permanent institu-
tion. Of course in order to secure
permanence; there must be patronage,
and there should he no difficulty
securing that, as Wingham is a good.
centre. It will prove a great advant-
age for our young people to be able to
secrre a business education, without
going to a distant town. There will
be three cor lees of study -1st -Com-
mercial; 2nd -Shorthand and Type-
writing ; 3rd -Telegraphing. The Ad-
vance wishes the enterprise the fullest
measure of success. See advt. page 8,

inents.

Wild Runaway.
A team belonging to Gunn's Limited
took a wild run down Centre street to-
wards the Union factory, on leforelay
forenoon, While going clown the hill
at full speed, past the rectory, the
waggon struck a simile tree near
W. F, VanStone's stable, The shock
brought the horses to a sudden stop
and both were thrown on their heads,
so tangled up that they were unable
to rise, and it took a number of men
to release them and get them on their
feet again ; the harness, tongue, whit -
&trees, etc., were smashed, Fortun-
ately the waggon was empty, had it
been loaded with eggs as it often is,
there would have been a "fall in
eggs." The wonder is, how the horses
escaped serious injury.
Not Wanted.
Mayor Bell's showing to Seaforth
citizens of what Wingham made last
year on its Electric Light department
failed to convince them, and they
want nothing to do with municipal
ownership. The by-law for the pur-
chase of the electric light plant by the
municipality was submitted for the
second time to the ratepayers, and
this time the electors decided quite
emphatically against the purchase.
When first submitted there was a
majority of these votes in &vor of
purchase. A protest was entered
against the legality of the by-law, was
allowed, and the by-law quashed. To
place the town in a fair and square
position on the question, the present
council had the plant re -valued and
decided to again submit the question
to the ratepayers, who decided against
the by-law by a majority of 09.
A New Departure.
The new license commissioners in
many places are making =norms
changes and there will be less licenses
and better enforcement of the law.
In London, for instance, there were
thirty-flve applications for licenses.
Of these only ten were granted for
one year, the remaining twenty-five
were given a three months' extension,
and four of them were notified that
after that time they would not be re-
newed. In Toronto also the commis-
sioners are after the license holders
with a sharp stick, requiring that they
shall live strictly up to the letter of
the law, and with every necessary re-
quirernent for the accommodation of
the travelling public. In West Huron
a few licenses -have been refused, and
the closing hours changed from ten to
nine p. in. in rural municipalities, and.
from eleven to ten o'clock in towns.
The chief officer of the License depart-
ment, however, is doubtful if the com-
missioners have this power, althongb
one clause of the Act seems to imply
that they have. In East Kent, the
conunissioners have decided to make
the "first offence the last offence."
One conviction and the offender loses
his license. This is thought to be
rather drastic. The license commis-
sioners of North Perth have added the
following to the rules to be observed -
"The bar -room shall not be used as a
sitting room in any hotel in the dis-
trict, nor shall any chairs, stools,
benches, settees, lounges, or any fur-
niture of the kind, be allowed to re-
main in any bar -room, nor shall any
person or persons be :Wowed to re-
main in any bar -room for the purpose
of putting in time or loafing therein."
This new rule will be hard on the fel-
lows that lounge around waiting for
"a, treat." Premier Whitney once
said that if the license mw was en-
forced, people would scarcely recog-
nize it. Certainly with the changes
indicated and the law properly en-
forced, there will be a wonderful im-
provement, and far less cause of com-
plaint.
Now is the time to place your
order for Coal. If you leave your
order at J. D. Burns, you will get
the best and at lowest price.

tion taken regarding the construction

The fact of a new flume being impera-
tive, and the desire, if possible, to

a standpipe and construction of a steel
flume, in all to cost about $0000. Af-
ter discussion, it was moved by ('onn.
