A Water Test.
If you want to test the purity of
your well water, here is a supple re-
cipe for doing so : Fill a pint bottle
nearly full of water, and dissolve in it
half a tea -spoonful of loaf or grade-
lated sugar. Cork the bottle and
keep it in a warm place for two days.
If the water becomes cloudy or milky
within forty-eight hours, it is unfit
for domestic use.
An Invention.
Wm. Bolt and Chas. Adams of town
are patenting a useful device, known
as a1 laustless Coal Ashes Sifter. Un-
less coal ashes are sifted, there is a
serious waste, and the difficulty about
the sifting has been that the person
sifting was covered with ashes before
the dirty job was completed. The
Sifter designed by Messrs. Bolt and
Aclasns aims to enable the user of coal
to sift the ashes (and thus save coal)
without being covered with a coat of
white. The Advance wishes the in-
ventors financial success. Mr. Bolt
thinks the Sifter can be manufactured
to sell for $1.25.

Death Of Mrs. Currie.
After a protracted illness, there
passed away on Wednesday, at the
residence of her son, J. C. Currie, Ann
Cornyn, relict of the late David Currie,
who passed over the stream many
years ago. The deceased lady was one
of the earliest settlers of this vicinity,
coming to Wingham when the coun-
try was an almost unbroken forest.
To do this was to bear no small burden
and to endure many privations. She
was a, native ofI i'
eland and came to
Canada when quite young. She leaves
one son, J. C. Currie of John street,
and one daughter, Mrs. Wm. Deyell
of Turnberry.Mrs.Gibson of Shuler
street, and Mrs. Sadler are sisters ; the
only surviving brother is Mr. William
Cornyn of town. Deceased was a
member of St. Paul's Church, and en-
joyed the esteem of the community.
The funeral takes place on Friday to
Wingham cemetery. Deceased was
in her 77th year. We have been un-
able to secure further particulars, as
we go to press Wednesday afternoon,
Football Match.
When Brussels and Wingham foot-
ball teams are billed to play, the lovers
of football always look forward to a
hotly -contested, exciting garne from
the moment the referee's whistle
starts the ball rolling, until time is up.
The game on the park last Friday
evening was not disappointing in this
respect. Both teams played good
ball, although the individual playing
was better than the combination,
which showed lack of practice. The
checking was hard and close. In the
first half, the visitors scored one goal,
and in the second half added three
more. With a score of 4 to 0, and
the Brusselites cheering themselves
hoarse, the locals pulled themselves
together and scored. two in short ,or-
der. This finished the scoring, leav-
ing it 4-2 in favor of the visitors.
That the game was comparatively
clean and free from excessive rongh-
ness was title to the impartial strict-
ness of the referee, Gaarf. Backer.
We believe the game has been pro-
tested, on the ground that the Mc:
Donald Bros., who play with Seaforth
seniors, played with the visitors, and
who in a large measure were responsi-
ble for the scoring on Friday evening.
Death Of Mr. Kew.
This week we regret to record the
demise of Mr, W. J. Kew, a highly
respected resident of Whitechurch,
and for many years agent of the G. T.
R. there. For some time past there
had been indications of failing health,
and on Thursday last the messenger of
death came, and found hilts ready,
awaiting the summons. Deceased was
born in Norwich, Norfolk county,
England, in 18.36, and hence was in his
60th year. He came to Canada in
1857, and in 1.863 was united in mar-
riage to Miss Annie Welch of Hamil-
ton. In 1877, under the ministry of
Rev. Thus. Welsh of Clinton, he was
converted, and since then had lived a
devoted Christian life. In 1878 he re-
moved to Whitechurch, and served
the Methodist Chntch there faithfully
as an official, taking a very active
part in the building of the new church
m that villnpe, 'Hewill be mach
missed by ins associates in church
work. Ile had been iu the employ of
the Grand Trunk Railway for forty-
eight years, or nearly half a century.
He leaves a widow, four sons and six
daughters. The sons are George and
William of Niagara Falls Thomas of
Whitechurch and Arthur of Philadel-
phia. The daughters are --Mrs. J. L.

ser and A. Nichols ; Property Com.—

urex's report showed that while $200
had been received from the Council
during the past two years, the Band
had added about $500 worth of band
property, such as instruments, uni-
forms, music, stands, etc. The boys
give their time and work without re-
muneration, and a Band Stance in the
park is a necessity. They have two
engagements booked—Blyth, June
22nd, Teeswaten', July 1st. The Band
is in a very efficient condition, and is
a credit to the town.
London Conference.
The London Conference of the
Methodist Church is in session this
week in Listowel. Messrs. Fessant,
Kerr and Buchanan are the lay dele-
gates from Wingham. The Station-
ing Committee is composed of the
Chairmen of districts and one minister
from each district, elected by ballot at
the May district meeting. This Com-
mittee met on Monday evening and
generally submits the first draft of
stations to the Conference when it as-
sembles on Wednesday. The general
business of the Conference begins on
Thursday, when layrnen and ministers
meet together. It is expected that
the Conference will close on Tuesday
next. The Advance has been able to
secure by telephone the first draft of
stations for Wingham district. This
list is subject to change, as the Sta-
tioning committee meets from time to
time. At present it stands thus :—
Wingham, I. B. ti'Vallwin; Kincar-
dine, H. Locke ; Ethel, Armstrong ;
Salem, J. R. Pentland ; Ripley,
Holmes; Bervie, P. Myers; White-
church, Dr. Aylesworth ; the other
places on Wingham district remain as
before. By this draft, Rev. Dr.
Gundy is down for Leamington, C. P.
Wells for Blenheim, 0. C. Koine for
Corunna, and Dr. Cook of Clinton for
Ridgetown.
Two BY.l
aws, July 5th.
As the Advance intimated last
week, so it is—that now the property -
owners of Wingham have definitely
before them two By-laws, on which
they ]nay vote on 'Wednesday, July
5th. The first of these is published in
the Advance this week, and provides
for the expenditure of $12,000 for the
extension and improvement of our
waterworks system, as follows :--
Construction of new flume $1,800
Erection of Standpipe 6,000
Extension of water mains 4,000
Engineering, etc 700
Total $12,000
The annual
debenture falling due to
meet this will be $760.70, but the esti-
mated sources of income considerably
exceed this amount, so that like the
waterpower t
p purchased a few years
ago, the expenditure will not only se-
cure fust -class fire protection, but
prove a valuable asset, and in addition
turnish a source of income. The
second By-law does not directly
authorize the expenditure of any
money, but provides for the fixing of
the assessment of the Canada Furni-
turers at $20,000 yearly for ten years.
In return for this, the town will se-
cure a consolidation of the Company's
interests here, and this will bo em-
phasized by the erection of an addi-
tion to the Union factory, of a sub-
stantial brick building, 04x70, three
storeys high and basement. The
agreement provides for the employ-
ment of 150 men in the three factories,
and of these sixty-five are to be house-
holders. Tho property -owners should
consider these By-laws carefully, and
not jump to conclusions. It is foolish
to decide without careful thought and
resolve to defeat By-laws having for
their object the betterment of our
town. The waterworks By-law will
appear in these colurnns each week for
a month, and the other By-law will
appear in the Wingham Times (pro-
bably next week) so that every rate-
payer may read them and act accord-
ingly, we shall have more to say on
the subject in future issues.
No mixing of feathers by us ; every
bets cleansed separately ; satisfaction
always results. The Canada Feather

A special meeting of the Town
Council was held on Monday evening
to consider proposed By-laws; mem-

Fire At Brussels..
Thursday afternoon about 2,45 the
large barns of the Queen's hotel took
fire, occasioned by some workmen
putting up eavetroughing, Almost
in an instant the flatnes covered the
building and the hay and other inflam-
mable matter burned like atorch.
The fire alarm was rung and a rush
made for the fire engine but for some
reason a considerable time elapsed be-
fore water was thrown and in the
meantime the high wind was fanning
the blaze into a perfect fury. In
short order the fire was swept across
Thomas street into Walker's livery
barn and Plum's blacksmith shop and
westward to T. T. Thomson's resi-
dence. The first mentioned was saved
largely owingto the metal roof but
the others fela prey to the devouring
element, despite the battle with buck-
ets, Flying embers started a blaze in
the American hotel stable and it and
the sheds soon fell het before this fire
was carried into P. Scott's blacksmith
shop and the adjoining pump works
of F. Adams and they were wreathed
in flames. Mrs. Strachaan's cottage,
south of the American stable, and Geo.
Edwards' stable Were ablaze also and
soon levelled to the ground, Across
Mill street the fire fiend leaped and
the implement shop of Fletcher Spar -
ling, Geo. Edwards' planing mill, R.
K. Ross' flouring mill, Mrs. Grieves'
dwelling and the stables of Walter
Lowry and Thuell Bros., burned like
match wood and only by energetic
work the electric light power house
was saved. This was bad enough but
the gale of wind had lifted fire away
across the river to J. Cousley's stable
and the fine brick carriage factory of
J. Cober & Sons and they too were
consumed. °nee it looked as if the
Queen's hotel was doomed, as fire had
caught the cornice but hard working
men on the roof wrought valiantly
and won the day. If this had not
been the case a large portion of the
Main street buildings might have gone
up in smoke as with the high wind it
would have been next to impossible
to prevent the biggest conflagration
Brussels ever had to contend against.
Listowel fire engine and brigade came
down on a special train ; a special also
brought help p
from
Wingham. cn
The
loss will be $85,000.

DEANERY OF HURON.
The Sunday School Convention and
Burl -decimal meeting of the County
of Huron were held. in Exeter on Mon-
day,May
Convention 29th. The Lonveution cotu-
rnenced with a celebration of the Holy
Communion at 10 a. in.. Ven. Arch-
deacon Richardson and Rural Dean
Lowe conducted the service ; a large
number communicated. At 11 a. m.
the members assembled in the school-
room, when reports were read from all
the Sunday Schools in the Deanery,
which showed the schools to be in a
very prosperous condition. At the
afternoon session, a very instructive
and interesting paper was read. by
Rev. H. Thomas of Lucan, on "The
Art of Teaching." Rev. Dr. Tucker,
organizing Sec. of the M. S. 0. 0., ad-
dressed the convention on the subject
of "Missions in connection with the S.
Schools." The address was most edi-
fying and interesting, as well as Tac-
tical. Ven. Archdeacon Richardson,
D. C. L., then addressed the conven-
tion, after which Rev. M. Turnbull
spoke of his appreciation of Dr. Tucker
and thought that every parish in the
Deanery should have a regularly or-
ganized Missionary Society. Revs. J.
Edmonds of Blyth, Jennings of Bay-
field, Rhodes of Hohnesville and Per-
kins of Exeter also took part in the
discussions.
The election of officers was the next
business; which resulted as follows :—
President—Rev. W. Lowe ; Vice. -Pres.
—Rev, Turnbull, Goderich ; Rec. Sec.
—Miss Houghton, Wingham. The
Convention will meet (D. •.) next year
in Wingham. The Chapter then met
in the vestry, when several important
platters were discussed in connection
with the deanery, such as the rear-
rangement of parishes, raising mis-
sionary allotments, etc.
In the evening Dr. Tucker preached
a most powerful sermon from Rev. 3; 8
—"Behold I set before thee an open
door." There was a large congrega-
tion and a liberal collection for mis-
sions. Everyone went away highly
