NOTES AND t:QMMENTS,
ir The public .will be glad to hear,
1 through the Woodstock Sentinel -Review,
that Hon. James Sutherland's health has
been greatly improved by his sojourn at
Dsnsville, N,Y., and that he inteuds to
resume his duties at an early day. His
illness has been the penalty of hard work,
and needed only the rest cure.
A sum approximately $50,000,000 is
sent from the United States in small
mums each year to assist those left be-
hind in the Old World, or to enable
them to emigrate. It has been predicted
that the number of emigrants would
goon decrease by reason of the exhaus-
tion of the supply, but no such promise
le warranted by the facts. Last year
230,022 Italians, 206,011 Austrians, and
16:30,93 Russians successfully passed the
immigration barriers of the United
States. --World's Work.
Sterne idea of the coat of modern war-
fare cau be arrived at by taking a Japan-
ese warship like the Kasuga or Nysshin
and calculating the number of shots she
would diischargo. The first -named ship
carried four cannon, which cost $30,000
, each. Oue of these guns can fire two
shots per minute, and every shot costs
/400; thus in five minutes these four
cannon can discharge 40 bombs at a cost
of $116,000. The smaller cannon cost
each 818,000, and every shot they fire
i mean an expenditure of $70. They are
very rapid, and it is estimated that in
five minutes the twelve cannon could
discharge shot to the value of nearly
35,000.—Leslie's Weekly.
Whether it is better for masticipalities
to operate their own electric plant is a
question which fifty-seven municipali-
ties in Ontario have decided in the affir-
matire, and every year sees new munici-
palities going into the lighting business,
If there is money in it, why should not
"tiiunieipal corporation do the work
itself and take all the profit? Exper-
ience shows the citizens get the best ser -
i vice at reasonable rates when the muni-
eipality is the owner and operator. The
current popular thought in Burk's Falls
lain favor of municipal ownership, and
'without it no progressive program of
municipal reform will meet its 'require-
rnents.—Bark's Falls Arrow.
The trial of the election petition
against the return of Mr. John Brown,
Liberal M.P.P. for North Perth, took
place at Stratford on Tuesday. Mr.
Brawn's election declared void, and the
counter petition against Mr. C. J. Mon-
tieth, his Conservative opponent, was
dismissed without costs. Mr. Monteith
I was declared elected at the general elec-
tion of May 29, 1902, by two votes, bat
was unseated a few monthe later. A
new election was held and then Mr.
Brown was elected by a majority of 206
over Mr. Monteith. This leaves the
Ross Government with a majority of
two, and seven protests yet to be decided.
Four of the protests are against Liberals
se and three against Conservatives.

Telephones For Trains.
The Canadian Paoiflo Railway author-
ities have been experiirientiug for some
time past with a train telephone, which
they have decided to adopt generally.
Each baggage car and each freight car
will be equipped with a telephone, a
long wire and a pole with a hook, which
is simply hooked on to the telegraph wire
at any point, and the dispatcher's office
at Mo,etreal eau bo communicated evith
instantly without interfering with the
wire being used in telegraphing. The
great advantage will be that iu case of
trouble the trainmen eau communicate
with the dispatcher an&he can not only
protect the train, but send assistance
promptly.

By the death of Mrs. McDouell which
took place on Sunday, 28th ult., Hensall
has lost the oldest person residing among
them, having attained the great age of
88 years. The deceased was born in In-
veruess, Scotland, and came to Canada
in 1848, known as "the year of the oho'.
era." She with her husband John Mc-
Dowell resided in Tuckersmith and Hib-
bert. He died 22 years ago, and 16 years
ago she came to Hensall. She was a
woman of most kindly and generous dis-
position and was exceedingly fond of
children. She leaves behind her four
sons. The funeral took place from the
residence of her son, Hugh, on Monday
afternoon, to Cromerty Cemetery.
Live Stoelc Markets.
Toronto, Sept. 6—Business at the city
cattle market to -day was fair for good
stuff, but there is still a good deal of
very poor stock- offering, and prices for
this class of cattle are easy. There
seems no very great demand for any-
thing but the very best that can be pro-
cured, There was a 'fair run, consist-
ing of 73 cars all told, and coutaining
1,173 head of cattle, 1,846 sheep and
lambs, 300 hogs and 47 calves.
Export—There were no extra choice
,Shippers in the market, but prices were
steady for good cattle. Crawford & Co.
sold a load of very fair cattle, about
1,350 pounds, at $4.85, and this was the
top figure reported• for to -day's sales.
Several loads sold at from $4.60 to $4.75.
Butchers—There is a good market for
good butcher cattle, but inferior are a
slow sale, though everything was clean-
ed out at prices which the local buyers
thought were quite high enough, con-
sidering the quality of the stock. The
market on the whole was just about
steady at last week's prices.
Stockers and feeders—Market easy for.
the rough light eastern stockers, but
steady for good stock. There are a few
inquiries for feeders, but the market is
not yet quite ready for any big supply.
Sheep and lambs—Market steady for
export ewes, but lambs slower.
Hogs—Market is weak; selects, 85.37e.

NOT run by wind or water, gossip or slander ; but by
l� brain, nerve and experience, backed up by the wise
customers of Wingham and vicinity ! A. R. Smith
is the fortunate man who has made fast friends with his
customers by giving them good wearing clothing at mod-
erateprices. He has two first-class brands in Ready-to-
wear Suits and Overcoats, viz.: Piccadilly, and the
Regent Brand. The latter he has the sole control of
in Wingham. Large shipments have already arrived at
his store— Overcoats and Suits for the smallest boy to
the large man. He is also handling the Imperial
Brand Rainproof Coats, J. D. King's Boots &
Shoes. Everything a man or boy wears you can see at
A. R. Smith's,' viz. :
—Boots —Shoes —Caps —Fur Overcoat
—Hats —Smocks —Overalls —Odd Vests
—Tweed Pants —Shirts —Collars —Neckties
-Braces —Underwear —Top Shirts —Suits
—Overcoats for man, youth or boy.
To those who are still wearing clothing purchased
from Meir & Co., when here, let me tell you that was A.
R. Smith's buying, no matter who sold it ; so when that
suit or overcoat is worn out, go to A. R. Smith—the man
who would not compromise nor bid on stock -when put up
at auction, but is determined to pay loo cents on the $,
no matter what hypocrites or fakirs say.
