Democrats at Baltimore last week is
the son and grandson of Presbyterian

—At Los Vegas, New Mexico last
week, there was a disgraceful prize
fight. The fight has been barred out
of many of the States, but in New
Mexico these exhibitions can yet be
held. Strange to say, several hun-
dred females enjoyed seeing the big
negro Johnson smash to jelly the face
of his opponent, Flynn, until the of-
ficer of the law stepped in and pre-
vented further pounding of a fool.
It is not very complimentary to the
civilization of Los Vegas, that the
town should go wild over such a scene
and that so many of the "gentler"
sex should wish to witness such a
sight.
Taking Stock.
The Canada Furniture Manfrs, clos-
ed their factories here for a week, in
order to take stock, There is a lot of
work awaiting, hence the holiday for
the men will be brief. One order
came in July 1st for $3000 worth of
furniture, besides other orders on the
books. Plenty of work in Wingham
for those who wish to work.
Formerly Of Turnberry.
The following from the Daily Mail -
Empire has reference to a former
Turnberry boy, son of Mr. Tom K.
Powell :—In the presence of a large
congregation, the bishop of the dio-
cese and several visiting clergy, Rev.
Frank E. Powell was inducted to the
rectory of the parish of St, Barnabas,
Chester, by the Venerable Dr. Cody,
Archdeacon of York. The induction
took place after the declaration by the
Bishop that he had issued the Man-
date of Induction, and the keys of the
church were formally handed to the
new rector by Messrs. James Arm-
strong and A. Parker, the church-
wardens, The Bible and the Book of
Common Prayer were handed to him
by Dr. Cody, with the prescribed ad-
juration, After the ceremony, even-
ing song, with special prayers and
psalms was proceeded with and Rev,
Dr. Lloyd, vice -provost of Trinity
College, delivered an elorluent appeal
to the congregation.
A Morris Pioneer.
It is our sad duty this week to

March, or in 1880, he purchased land
in the township of Morris. That same
year he was united in marriage to his
now bereft partner, then Mies Mary
Stephenson, who proved herself a true
helpmate on life's journey. Together
they toiled, sharing each other's joys
and sorrows, raising a respected
family, and making for themselves a
comfortable home. Eleven years ago,
Mr. and Mrs. Bosman retired from the
toil of the farm and came to reside in
Wingham, where they were held in
highest esteem, Three years ago last
Friday, Mr, Rosman met With an
accident and one leg was broken.
Sime then, be had felt the infirmities
of age creeping on, until on Friday
last, hemorrhage set in, and on Satur-
day, about 10 a.m., he passed to a
better home. 13esides his life -partner,
he leaves five daughters—Mrs. Vine

ing on Monday evening, 8th inst. The

Kibbon, Bone, VanStone Elliott and
Mills were present.
A petition was presented asking for
water -main to be laid on Catharine
street, between John and VIctoria
street. Being sufficiently signed, on
motion of Coun'e Elliott and McDon-
ald, the committee was requested to
proceed with the work.

A large number of Electric Light
and Waterworks accounts were ex-
amined.
On motion of Coun's Elliott and
Bone, the report was adopted.
A number of the Town By -Laws
being found to be ,without penal
clauses, By-law 653 was passed provid-
ing the necessary penal clauses,
By-law 65I was passed authorizing
the borrowing of $5,000 for current
expenses.
Accounts of D, 0, McDonald and
Wm. Guest were referred to Council
by Finance committee, there being an
opinion that the work done was on
private drain. Coun. Elliott moved
seconded by Reeve' McDonald—That
D. C. McDonald's account be paid
less 54 days and that the Council
assume no responsibility regarding
Wm, Guest's account. On Yeas and
Nays being taken, the motion carried
5-.3.
Another account referred to Council
was $870 from Elec. Light committee
for six months lighting of streets.
Chairman VanS tone explained that
expenses had been higher than usual,
by spring freshets and introducing
day power, and the account was for
service actually rendered. As this
account has in the past been paid
yearly, the motion by Coun's Mc-
Kibbon and VanStone for payment
now, was lost.
Mr. Hogg of Turnberry asked the
Council for work at culvert on P
line ; referred to Street committee.
The Choral Society asked for re-
consideration of charge for Council
room for practice—This was made
satisfactory.
The request of Mr, Stokes for
increase of salary was referred to the
Executive.
A number of other matters were
discussed, but no motions offered. At
times, the discussions were warm—
so, was the evening, and though some
of the Councillors actually had their
coats off, everything went along
without trouble,
For July 12th.
L. O. L. No. 791: will meet at 7 a. m.

What He Drank.
The wife of Adolph Hagan of Mor-
riston, New Jersey, brought an action
against her husband for alimony. At
the trial Hagan testified that he had
spent $725 on beer in a period of 227
days. At five cents a glass, Hagan's
beer investment's stand for a total of
14,500 glasses, or 63 glasses a day. The
total for the 227 days is 180 cubic feet
of beer, enough to fill a pool six feet
wide, 15 feet long and two feet deep.
Keep Hies Off The Cows.
The following bulletin was posted in
one of the exhibit cars 'of the "Better
Farming Special" which toured Que'
bee last week :—The most satisfactory
fly spray used so far is Kreeo. Spray
solution for 80 cows :—Two gallons
water and pint Kreso or 161 Wu,-

four months $16 20, or 31 contep er
OW a season. Time required to spray
80 cows with knapsack sprayer is 15
minutes for 20 cows about 4 or 5
minutes.he
T relief to both cows and

WINGHA.M, ONT., i ,SDA.Y, JULY 11, 1912,
Football Game.
The Football, game on Saturday
evening between Goderich and Wing -
ham was too one•sided to be either
fast or exciting, Wingham had not
all their best players on, but even at
that, the Goderich team never scored
a single goal, P. McEwen was
referee, and the game closed with a
score of 7 to in favor of Wingham,
Next !
Had A Good Time.
Mr. D. Bell gave a number of young
ladies a good time on Wednesday
evening last. In his fine, auto he took
them to the Belgrave Carden Party,
where they enjoyed themselves im-
mensely, When that was over, Mr.
Garner Nicholson invited theca to his
home in Morris, where he entertained
them to selections on his fine sixty
dollar gramophone. Mr. Nicholson is
a great entertainer and always gives
his guests a pleasant time, That is
one reason why, when a Garden party
is held at Garner's, it is always a huge
success,
Remedy For Ants.
Where sweets are ' kept --for in-
stance in the pantry—ants are liable
to become troublesome. A remedy
that has been tried with splendid re-
sults is to place cotton saturated with
turpentine around any openings into
which the ants are likely to force their
way. Another suggestion is to dip
a sponge in sugar water, press it out a
little, then place the sponge in the
ant runs. When it is full of ants
drop the sponge into hot water and
repeat. After a few days the ants
seem to be seized with terror and they
abandon the house. To eradicate ants
that make hills in gardens or lawns, a
good suggestion is to mix sugar and
Paris green together, dissolve in
water, and sprinkle over the hill.
Baseball Games.
A fast and exciting game of Base-
ball on Wednesday evening of last
week, when the High School Scouts
defeated the famous Banker -Bruns-
wick team to the tune of 12-10. It
seemed to be an "off" time with the
B. -B's. The H. S. went first to bat
and started the score by five runs in
the first innings. After a long spell of
fielding, the B. -B's went to bat and
piled up six rune, due chiefly to errors
by the Scouts. The other innings
need not be outlined, the victors out-
classing the B's at every point. The
first of the 4th innings brought the
score to 12-7 in favor of the High
School. Then the B's went to bat and
by three runs made it 12-10, Dark-
ness came on, and prevented further
play. On Friday evening, the Banker -
Brunswick and the Clerks met on the
diamond and the Clerks lost by a score
of 6-2. L. Kennedy refereed both
games satisfactorily.
An Elephant's Memory.
A unique incident occurred at Ring-
ling Bros.' circus len St. Thomas
"•ecently, which' deme rates that
elephants hav goo >nee ories and
lasting affec ions. Whe Charles
Knight of F' gal, was passin through
the anima tent one of the oldest of
the herd o elephants bega trumpet-
ing, and t e keepers notid that the
animal wa trying to f,it with Mr.
invited beAkeeper Mr.
Knight to a mein the enclosure,
when a mutual recognition took place.
The elephant wound his trunk around
Mr. Knight's arm and gave other
affectionate caresses peculiar to ele-
phants. It turned out that Knight,
who is 72 years of age, was for many
years in his earlier days attached to
P. T. Barnum's circus, and had for
years this same elephant in his charge.
It was with difficulty that Mr. Knight
could break away from his old friend
to see the rest of the show.
Death Of Mr. Schmidt.
Citizens of Wingliam heard with
deep regret of the death of Mr. Gus.
A. Schmidt, for some time hardware
merchant in our town. Mr. Schmidt
was born in S,pbx'ingp lTe And until a
few years ado, was inch hardware
businesse there with his brother.
Aboutthree years ago, he pa based
the business of Mr. J. G. Stew rt in
Wing ani, and as a business man
was se aightforward, upright and
popular ith the eat ler He was not
in good he , at the disastrous
fire which wiped out bis business last
winter, he got a severe cold that in-
creased the trouble. He suffered
much, and went to London for an
operation, but received no permanent
benefit, and on Friday last passed
away. Mr. Schmidt was a member of
the Evangelical Church, food of
music, a good singer and leader of the
choir of hie church at Sebringville.
He leaves a young widow and three
dear little children, the
youngest touY
only
a few months old, for whom sincere
sympathy is felt. There are four
brothers, Alfred of Sebringville, John
of Guelph, Edwin of .Rodney and

.A. Portuguese woman at Welland,
Ont,, weighing less than one hundred
pounds, and employed in one of the
factories there, has just given birth to
four children. Ten months ago she
had one child, so her record now is
five children in ten months,
Successful Raising -
There was the frame of a fine barn
raised at 0, W. Scott's, East Wawa -
nosh, on Tuesday. The building will
be 56x86, covered with metallic roof,
and finished with cement stables and
every convenience. Over 135 men as-
sisted, and darkness came on before
the work was finished, but they re-
turned next morning and completed
the heavy task. The work was suc-
cessfully done, and no accident hap-
pened. A large number of ladies as-
sisted Mrs, Scott in serving the large
company of workers.
What Is Life Worth ?
Money has a wonderful power, but
it is not omnipotent, Science and
skill can accomplish wonders, but
there is a limit to their power. Last
week, in Columbus, Ohio, Dr. L. M.
Early, died of cancer, Himself a
physician, with plenty of money,
aware of the presence of the deadly
disease, he was helpless. He offered
a million dollars to any person who
could effect a cure. But all in vain.
Money will not purchase immunity
from disease, nor prevent the opera-
tion of that stern law—"It is appoint-
ed into men once to die,"
Drowned While Bathing.
On Sunday last, Mr. Frank Oberle,
a well-known general merchant at
Formosa, was drowned at that place
in a small pond, while bathing. Ile
and Mr, Schnurr, hotelman, were in
cooling off and through some cause, as
yet unexplained, Mr. Oberle sank to
death. One cause given is that of
cramps, another is that he became ex-
hausted in rescuing his comrade from
danger. The body was recovered in a
depth of about eight feet of water.
He was a married man, and leaves a
widow and seven children, He was
38 years of age.
The Western Fair.
The Western Fair of London, On-
tario, will be held this year, September
6th to 14th. Active preparations are
being made by the management to
make this year's exhibition excel any-
thing ever attempted by the Associa-
tion in the past. The Speed pro-
gramme shows two events each day
with large purses for each ; this
is always an interesting part of the
Exhibition. There will be one of the
best programmes before the grand
stand twice daily that has ever been
presented, including aerial acts,
comedy bar acts, a trambolin act,
acrobatic acts of all kinds, and an
equestrian act, both single and double
with the comedy act of Hans and his
mule that will be so funny that it will
cause a laugh for every second. A
Firework's programme each evening
consisting of sixty pieces including
the wonderful Motorcycle race and
concluding with the bombardment of
Tripoli.
Presentation.
The Goderich Star reports the fol-
lowing presentation, the recipient
being a son-in-law of Mr, and Mrs.
Wellwood of Wingham :—"On Thurs-
day afternoon of last week the pupils
and teaching staff of Victoria School
gave the retiring principal, Mr. J. H.
Tigert, a testimonial which he will
remember with pleasure in his new
home as principal of one of the Hamli-
ton schools. The gathering took place
in the Kindergarten room, under
direction of Mr. J. B. Hunter, where
an address was read by Miss Lilly
Johnston, one of the Entrance stu-
dents, and the gift, a handsome and
comfortable rocker upholstered in
Spanish leather, was presented by
Masters Logan Murney and Alex.
I+'owlie, two of the primary class
pupils. Mr. Tigert made such reply
as he could under the circumstances,
thanking all for this kindly expres-
sion of their regards and testifying to
his own good wishes for all."
ituran Old Boys.
Last Saturday was the date of the
excursion of the Huron Old Boys'
Association from Toronto to the home
county. Not So many chose Wing-
ham as their objective point as in
other years, but the excursionists
spread themselves over the county,
many dropping off in Perth and Bruce,
counties. A number of the visitors
took an auto trip to Clinton, Heneall,
Zurich, Brussels, Wingharn and other
places, Among those who came to
Wingham were—Mayor Beck, Messrs.

Very successful garden parties were
held last week at Whitechurch and
Belgrave, but our correspondents at
these points must have been on their
holidays, or they would have sent us
reports of these interesting events.
Make Them Pay.
Tuesday night, some mischievous
person by pushing a wire through the
ventilation holes in J. H. Christie's
shop windows, upset some pickle bot-
tles, biscuits, etc., causing breakage
and loss. They are likely to have to
pay the damages.
A Broken Thigh.
The Advance regrets to hear of a
serious accident that happened to
Mrs. Bell of Edward street, this week.
She was out in the garden, when she
fell fracturing one thigh. As she is
.advanced in years, the accident will
be more serious than to one in young-
er life, especially this very warm
weather.
Sudden Death,
Miss Cook of Goderich died very
suddenly while visiting in Seaforth
this week. She had apparently been
in good health and excellent spirits,
and shortly after a conversation with
members of the family was found in
convulsions with symptoms of stry-
chnine poisoning, death coming quick-
ly. A Coroner's jury was empanelled,
a post mortem made and the stomach
forwarded to a Government analyst
for examination.
Silver Wedding,
On Saturday last, Mr, arid Mrs. D.
E. McDonald of town celebrated the
25th anniversary of their marriage.
D. E. McDonald and Miss M. A. Todd
were married July 6th, 1887, at St.
Helens, by Rev, Mr, Leask, Three
daughters and one son have graced
the union, and on Saturday last, a
large number of friends from the
town and district were present and
extended the most hearty congratu-
lations to Mr. and Mrs. McDonald,
Among the many beautiful presents
they received were a well-filled purse
and several handsome articles of cut
glass and silverware. Fifty guests
sat down to a splendid banquet, which
was served in the drawing -room, which
was most attractively decorated. Mr.
McDonald being at home with the
bagpipes and his daughters expert
dancers, the evening passed very
pleasantly with Highland liausic. May
Mr. and Mrs. McDonald be happily
spared to celebrate their Golden
Wedding,
