Inas tried says --"On a large number of
old shingles I put about half a tea-

that with my pocket knife I scraped a
small amount of eoncentfated lye. I
then placed the old shingles around
the stable floors and under the cribs.
The next morning I found forty dead
rats, and the rest left the farm for

late John McKague, who passed aver

ago. Mrs. McKague had reached the
ripe age of seventy-nine, and since the
demise of her husband, had resided an
the old homestead on tate boundary of
Culross and Turnberry, with her son
Andrew. Deceased was born in Ire-
land and carte to Canada when quite
young. She was a member of the
Presbyterian Church, and was held in
high esteem by all who knew her. All
her family, four sons and one daugh-
ter, survive her. The sons are—R. J.
McKague of Turnberry, John of Coul-
ter, Manitoba, Henry of Toronto, and
Andrew of Culross. The only daugh-
ter is MIs. John Porter of Turnberry.
Of her brothers and sisters, eight in
number, only ane survives her, Mr.

ed by Rev. James Malcolm; the large
number in attendance evidenced the
respect in which the family is held.

Sad News.
Mrs. W. J. Haines received the sad
news on Saturday of the death of her
brother, Mr. John Gillespie of Winni-

Notice To Contractors.
Tenders for the construction of a
Steel Waterworks Stand -pipe and
Concrete Foundations; also for the
laying out of about three-quarters of
a inrle of water mains and the setting
of valves and hydrants, will be receiv-
ed by the Clerk of the Town of Wing -
ham up to 6 o'clock pan., Wednesday,
August the 2nc1, 10055. Plans and
specifications may be seen at the
Clerk's office. The Town will supply
the materials for the ttatermains.
Watch For Them.
The tussock tooth is devastating the
beautiful maples that have made Chat-
ham famous. Fully one-third of the
trees are affected and the pest is
spreading rapidly. Many trees are
dead and many others are dying. The
Council have been asked to do some-
thing, and it is expected the matter
will come up at the next meeting.
Citizens should be on the look -out for
them in Wingham. It would be a
pity to see our fine maple trees de-
stroyed.
Lawn Social.
The evening of Thursday last turned
out to be father chilly, hence rather
unfavorable for the Social on the lawn
of Mr. E. Bosnian. Nevertheless,
quite a large number gathered and
enjoyed the refreshments and the ex-
cellent music of the band. The de-
mand for ice cream was considerably
lessened by the coolness of the even-
- ing, and even overcoats were found
comfortable. The receipts were about
$40. The ladies have assisted nobly
in reducing the debt on the church
and are not yet weary in well -doing.
Their assistance is sincerely appreciat-
ed by the Trustee Board.

Increased Demand.
The demand for cement in Canada
shows no sign of decrease. In fact
the new uses to which it is being ap-
plied indicate rather an increased de-
mand. The new Ottawa University,
with its classic donne end beautiful
ornamentation is to be built of cement,
so that from college .Walls down to
stable floors, 'cement is finding its
place of usefulness. It may not be
generally known that when contem-
plated histories are completed, Canasta
will have sixteen Portland cement
inatntfacturing establishments, with
a combined capacity annually of 8,015-
000 barrels, estimating 1300 working
days to the year. Surely this inn-
mense quantity should equal the de.
maid. Tito facilities for its inatittfite>
tore have inercased wonderfully, so
that in one plant, the raw materials
are recovered from the earth, trans-
ported to the plaint, weighed, et•nshecl,
mixed, tested, calcined, gtoand and
bagged with the aid of less than 100
uteri, and the output for the l:4 hours
was 1,000 barrels.

The District,
A. lively game of Laacrosse was play-
ed on the park here, an Friday last, be-
tween the home team and Kincardine.
The game being the deciding game of
the series on this district naturally
drew a large crowd of spectators..
The stores and factories closed and
the Band turned out to cheer the
players with music sweet. The game
was very closely contested, and as it
proceeded, there was evidence that
the teams were evenly matched,
though for a great part of the time,
the battle of the sticks raged around
Kincardine goal.
At 4.17 the ball was faced and play
was in centre field for several minutes,
then Kincardine and Wingham goals
were alternately in danger, but a
pretty shot into the net by Wightman
gave the crowd a, chance to cheer, but
before time was called, a slow bounc-
ing ball got past Fleming, Winghatu's
bright goal -keeper, and Kincardine
crowd cheered lustily only to be taken
back by Elliott, who scored No. 2 for
Wingham and thus the quarter ended.
The second quarter was only fairly
started when Goodwin for Kincardine
tied the score on a long shot, and al-
though our boys worked hard, the
quarter ended it tie, the local defence
having many shots to stop, while
Cooke,Wightman and the two Elliotts,
assisted by Cody, rained many shots
on the Kincardine goal without a
score. In the 3rd quarter, Wingham
again forged ahead, when Elliott again
tallied for the Maple Leafs and the
crowd on the side got noisy. The lo-
cal defence with Dinsley and Beattie
continually bloke through Kincardine
home, while Moore and Vanstone
played well in between the passes.
Both teams played hard aml fast, and
at end of Srd quarter, the score was
still a tie, 8-3. The 4th quarter was
the hardest kind of lacrosse, both
teams defending their citadel with
jealous care and each teatn managed
to score a goal. Kincardine defence
then began throwing the hall out of
play and were warned by Referee Al-
len. The last quarter failed to end
the game, the score being Kincardine
4, Wingham. 4.
Referee Allen then
teams on the field for 15
way or until either team scored, and
although both team were in poor
shape to play, they resumed, Reid
was moved from point and sent up an
local home, and Kincaardune settled
clown to a defence game with the hope
that another game would have to be
played. Winghattn defence thus had
an easy task but Goodwin and IYIcKen-
zie, assisted by big Teddy Thomson,
kept boing in and Elliott Fleming got
the chance of the day, when he made
at magnificent stop from Goodwin,
which if scored would. ld have lost the
district, but he was equal to the occa-
sion and relieved to Vanstone, who in
turn shot to Reicl. The tatter made a
pretty pass to Wightman, who landed
the winning goal in 22 minutes extra
play, aurid the wildest excitement.
Thus Wingham wins District No. 2,

usual the country, the great, big,
patient, stupid country will have to
pay the bill. The Telescope may tv
a little old-fashioned in its way
of looking at things, but we have no
hesitation in characterizing this
whole transaction as a piece of
legalized robbery. In the opinion
of this great family journal, $1500 a
session was remuneration for the
average member of parliament, and
as for the wheezy old stills in the
senate, it was far too much. Coun-
ty judges es too, in consideration of all
they have to do, were already
notoriously over -paid, and this new
honaraaritnn will only make them
lazier and more arrogant than ever,
The whole transaction is a salary
drab of the most vulgar kind, a
irty piece of daylight thievery, and
unfortunately for the country, there
was no old Alexander McKenzie
with a gum, to defend the national
treasury. Grits and Tories at Ot-
tawa will fight each other to a finish
over. a school bill or a contract, but
when it comes to feathering their
own uests they can be mighty
harmonious."

extrasalary) then reaehed for their
hats, and the dust flew, so quickly did

fate. Senate abolished? No ! Sen-

by far. Each of the sleepy, old Sena-

tacked on to his salary. None of
them bad earned a tenth part of the
$2,500; possibly none of them needled
the Extra $1000, but take it they must,
