41ST YEAR, NO. 1,
EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.
-The deposits in the Public Schools
Penny Bank, in Ottawa, amount to
$17,100.33, This is an illustration of
the wisdom of saving the cents, in the
hope that the dollars will take care of
themselves.
*. * *
-The following paragraph is by no
means new but is worth repeating,
remembering and adopting :-
"There is so much bad in the best of
us, and so much good in the worst of
U9, that it ill behooves any of us to
talk about the rest of us."
* * *
-It has been ascertained in court,
that a Detroit Alderman was paid
$100 for making a speech in the city
Council. It must have been con-
' siderably better than some aldermanic
speeches we have heard, or else it
wasn't worth the amount paid, that is
as an oratorical effort.
-The Woman's Social and Political
Union of London, England, announces
that a vigorous campaign will be car-
ried on in Canada to secure the fran-
chise for Canadian women. We trust
the programme' will not include at-
tacks upon public men, nor the
smashing of plate glass windows.
-There are Suffragists in Minne-
sota, and they a have darning booth at
the State Fair. The darning needle is
their emblem - a very good thing
when applied to its own use. Their
war -cry runs as follows :-
"Darn the government, darn the
socks,
That's the way to the ballot box ;
Patch the holes in hubby's hose,
March to the polls and voice our
woes."
***
-Regarding the final results of the
census and its effect on Redistribution
of the constituencies, it was thought
that Ontario would lose six seats, but
it is now ascertained that Ontario will
only lose four, New Brunswick one,
Nova Scotia two, and Prince Edward
Island one. As the West will leave 22
new constituencies, this means four-
teen more members in the Commons.
Of these 22, Manitoba will get five,
ae.sieetchewan six, Alberta five, and
ssasseergh Columbia six. The next
Parliament will probably consist of
235 instead of 231 m _ ers, of these
Ontario will have 82 ins ead of 86,
* * *
-Yes, the Suffragettes of the old
land interviewed Premier Borden and
endeavored to secure a promise from
him to introduce a government mea-
sure giving Canadian women the
franchise. It seems that they went
farther; they even threatened him
with vengeance if he failed to do so.
Mr. Borden wisely refused to be scar-
ed, and plainly told the women that
threat, would have no effect on him.
The editor of this paper believes that
some day, the franchise will be given
to women, but the program to secure
it, as adoptedby the Suffragettes in
the old land, will postpone instead of
hastening the reform for which they
are clamoring. The vicious attacks
they have made on leading men, the
smashing of windows, and disturbance
of the peace -are not evidences of fit-
ness to exercise the franchise.

window curta'ns, when shesfell to the
floor, breaking e9 ,rher legs at the

A Terrible Storm.
The electric storm of Monday, Aug.
26th, will be remembered in some
parts of Ontario as one of the worst.
Thirteen head of cattle belonging to
James Turner, near Fergus, were all
instantly killed while under the
shelter of a tree ; they were all ready
for market, In the same vicinity, two
young men were driving home, when
the team was killed, and the men
stunned, one not being expected to
recover.
A Snake Story.
A snake story comes to us from a
certain street in town. On Labor day,
it is said„ that two girls noticed what
they supposed was a large b aclear ake
curled around the foot gf'a tree. They
informed the neighlsp s, and lest the
dreaded reptile should get into their
gardens, two wo nlen sallied fort/ to
destroy it, one with a hoe, the nether
a rake. The reptile turned ,pit to be
the cover of an old rmbr_eilet, that had
been blown around t Ifunk of a tree,
and a loose end moved by the breeze
gave it appearance of life. So saith
our reporter.
Matrimonial Event.
On Thursday last, August 29th, a
happy event took place at the resi-
dence of Mr. Gee. Fothergill, East
Wawanosh, when his daughter, Miss
Emma J., became the bride of Mr,
David Bell of Wingham. At high
noon the contracting parties, un-
attended, took their place under an
arch of evergreens, trimmed with
white bells, and Rev, Mr. Miller of
Auburn spoke the words of such
great importance and interest. The
bride was becomingly attired in
champagne colored satin, and carried
the usual elegant bouquet, About
fifty guests witnessed the pretty
ceremony, and then all tendered con-
gratulations. After tasty wedding
repast, an auto conveyed the happy
couple to Blyth, and they will visit
New York and other American cities,
Many handsome and expensive pre-
sents were evidences of esteem. On
their return, Mr. and Mrs. Bell will
reside in Wingham. The Advance
extends congratulations.
***
-Australia bas limited the length
of a speech in Parliaments to sixty-five
minutes, except on special occasions
when ninety-five minutes may be
taken. Canada might do well to fol-
low the example of Australia. Many
parliamentary speeches are rambling
harangues, lengthened out by long
extracts read from other sources, all
tending to make bulky reports for
Hansard and increasing the cost to
the country. A record of what is said
in Parliament is necessary, but a rule
limiting the speeches to a certain
length would be an improvement.
Usually, the time is taken up with a
few long-winded talkers, Let others
air their views. Some ordinary men
might benefit legislation by a half
hour's address, but they never get a
chance. For a few to do all the talk-
ing, and talk incessantly is an imposi-
tion, and accomplishes but little
good.

-As to the contest for the United
States Presidency, no person can
accurately forecast the result. But,
there are indications that point with a
good deal of probability, that will aid
the careful observer in foraying an
opinion. It is evident that Taft has
lost any popularity he ever had.
Roosevelt, although he, has strong
support, has also enemies many and
bitter, and having occupied the
+ be
position, many think he shoull.
satisfied to step aside. As the writer
of this paragraph sees it, the Demo-
cratic Candidate has the best chance of
winning. Many Republicans Will sup-
port him, believing him to be morn
favorable to legislation for the maasee
than Taft. The cost of living is going
figure considerably with many of
to

A Tiny Colt.
Mr. Isidor Seifried of the B line is
nursing a miniature colt which ar-
rived very unexpectedly at bis farm
last Thursday morning. The baby
colt is well formed and lively, but is so
small that is an object of wonder to
the whole neighborhood, It weighed
at birth about thirty-five pounds, but
with careful nursing it is filling out
and may yet become a valuable horse.

Interesting And instructive.
"Northern Ontario" is the name of
an interesting pamphlet issued by the
Bureau of Colonization. It is the
largest advertising effort yet made,
embracing every district and dealing
with all the essential features of that
great country. The Bureau of Coloni-
zation has striven to be fair to every
district. There is an up-to-date map
which with the book should be a clear
and handy guide to every intending
settler. The present edition of
"Northern Ontario', is 50;000 copies
and there will probably be another
making a total of 75,000 or 100,000.
The pamphlet is worth perusing, and
may be seen at this office.
Watch Your Potatoes.
There has been issued, by the direc-
tion of the Minister of Agriculture at
Ottawa, a conspicnous poster calling
the attention of potato growers to the
importance of examining their crop to
ascertain whether or not it is infected
with "Potato Canker," The hanger
shows in natural colors a potato plant
the whole yield of which is affected by
the disease. It also shows the appear-
ance of individual tubers in which the
Canker has started to work. Growers
who discover suspicious symptoms of
the disease in their crop are requested
to send affected specimens to the
Dominion Botanist, Experimental
Farm, Ottawa. The poster can be
seen at the Advance office.
A Terrific Storm.
The storm of Saturday night was
one of the worst that has visited this
section of country for years. Early
Saturday evening. there were rumb-
lings of distant thunder, and about.
11 p.m. it began in earnest, and c'.u-
tinued until after daylight Sunday
morning. The storm clouds passed
from west to east, then in a short
time returned westward. Then when
citizens thought all was over, another
from the north came up and it also
doubled on its track, so that the whole
night was one of• the fiercest displays
of lightning accompanied by terrify-
ing cannonades of thunder, that per-
haps Wingham has ever experienced.
A regular deluge of rain fell. Some
who measured it say five inches fell
during the night, Considering the
length and severity of the storm,
much less damage is reported than
was feared. At time of writing, two
barns are reported destroyed, Geo. T.
Robertson's on the 10th of East Wa-
wanosh and Philip Keffer's near
Belmore. In the case of Mr.
Robertson's, the farm having been
sold to Mr. Wightman, it is likely he
will be at the loss of the building, on
which there was $1600 insurance. We
have not beard the extent of Mr,
Keffer's loss at time of writing.
Eleven head of cattle are reported
killed belonging to Mr. Doig of
Howick. In town, the Baptist church
suffered most. Edward street must
have Hooded during the night, for in
the morning, it was found that the
water and mud had flowed in through
the windows and was three feet deep
in the Sunday School room. Books,
chairs and the two organs were float-
ing around in the muddy water,

Some Snake This,
A despatch to the daily Globe says :
R. M, McKibbon of Erin township
shot a black snake, which Measured
eight feet in length, and was a big
round as a man's leg. It was as heavy
as a man could lift, There were two,
but the other escaped.
Bowling Concluded.
In the association match Dudley
Holmes of Wingham, and the Baw
den rink, from Exeter, were in the
finals, and the Holmes rink allowed
the visitors to take the honors with-
out playing. In the consolation
match, which continued till late
Wednesday evening, Porter of At-
wood defeated Reed of Teeswater in
the finals by 19 to 8.
The Egg Market.
With eggs nearing or touching the
25 ets. a dozen mark, the hen holds an
important position in the food supply.
Some years ago, when the editor of
this paper was in the book and
stationery business, he purchased
eggs at the then highest price, seven
and eight cents. Quite a difference in
the price now is there not ? Eggs are
eggs now, and it pays to give the hens
right treatment, proper care and the
best food. The indications aro that
eggs will be higher next winter than
last.
Enters Its 41st Year.
With this issue, the Advance enters
its forty-first year, It might be con-
sidered a suitable time to review past
years, but we stay not for reminis-
cences. The past is gone beyond re-
call, the future is yet in the distance ;
the present only is ours, and present
duties demand attention. Grateful for
past patronage, the editor is still at
the helm, resolved to spare no effort
to make the Advance even more read-
able than ever. To our patrons, our
correspondents, and our prompt pay-
ing subscribers, we tender our sincere
thanks. To be brief, with good wishes
for all, and ill -will to none, the Ad-
v ante steps out of its fortieth year on
the threshold of its 41st, strong,
healthy and vigorous as ever. The
subscription list is nearing the 1500
mark, and yet we are open for others.
Only 25 cts, for. a trial short term of
four months, one-third of the whole
year. Will you help make it the even
number.
Drowned At Bruce Beach -
On Friday, August 30th, Miss Isa-
bella McKay of Ripley met a tragic
death at Bruce Beach, a summer re-
sort, six miles south of Kincardine.
She and her niece, Mise Mayme Mc-
Innes, went rowing, intending to do
some fanoy work on the placid. waters
of Lake Huron. Suddenly, Miss Mc-
Kay, who occupied the lazy seat in
the stern of a cedar rowboat, fainted
and fell headlong into the cold water.
Her niece jumped out of the boat and
endeavored to make,a, rescue, but both
having heavy clothing and sweaters
on, the struggle was intensely diffi-
cult. Miss McInnes, who swims well,
had finally to turn for the shore.
After a long search the body was fin-
ally recovered before dark, The fun-
eral took place from the late residence
to Kincardine cemetery on Monday
afternoon.

Death Of Mrs. Merkley.
The death of Mrs. Wm. Merkley
came as a great shock to her family
and friends on Sunday, September 1st,
She had been ill a few days, but was
able to be around again, and was con-
versing with some members of the
family about three o'clock in the
afternoon, when she took suddenly
worse and in a few minutes in spite of
a physician and all that loving hands
could do, she had passed to the great
beyond. Mrs, Merkley was of a kind
disposition beloved by her family and
respected by all, ever ready to lend a
helping hand. She was born at
Brockville, Leeds county, July 24,
I842, her maiden name being Esther
Amelia Hartwell. She was married
to her now bereft husband in 1860 and
moved. to Turnberry in 1868, where
they spent 36 years, and bore the toils
and privations of the pioneer life. In
1004, they removed to Wingham,
where she spent her remaining days.
Seven boys and six girls were born to
Mr, and Mrs. Merkley, eleven of
whom are living to mourn the loss of
a kind and loving mother. The
daughters who survive her are --Mrs.
Rodenhaver of Spokane, Mrs. R. A.
