James Lorne 11fcDougall, ex -Aud- itor -General of the Dominion of Canada, who went to Quebec in the month of March last to conduct an investigation into civic affairs, was stricken with par- alysis Sunday morning in Ms room at the Chatean Frontenao, and is said to be in a serious condition. The publication of the spring crap re- port of the Provincial Department of Agriculture forecasts unparalleled pros- perity for Manitoba this year. The high-water mark in acreage and crop prospects last year at this season was regarded as a ditlicult record to approach, much less surpass, but the situation to- day shows many improvements over the 1905 report. ---Winnipeg Telegram. South Perth Reform Association has passed the following resolution: "That whereas the Ontario Government has dismissed. C. E. Wnelihan, Registrar for South Perth, thereby introducing the vicious and indefensible spoils system, we, the Executive Committee of the Re- form Association of the South riding of Perth, desire to place ourselves on re- cord as protesting against such action." The bottom seems to have fallen out of the Arctic expedition scandal, too. The atatisit'es of the supplies provided for the expedition when first thrust upon an un- suspecting public all in a heap, caused something of a shook, and it did not seem difficult to believe that there was a scan- dal Iurking somewhere. Bat the more time the thing has been investigated, and the more time the people have had to realize what the fitting out of a ship for such au expedition means, the less astonishing the figures appear. The ship was well provided; that much, appears certain, but the Opposition has not yet been able to prove from the month of a competent witness that the supplies were excessive, or that there was any graft in the furnishing of them. The expedition of the Arctic was not exactly a holiday excursion; but even on pleasure tripe people like to go well provided, and it is always wise to have something in reserve for an emergency.---Woodstook Sentinel - Review.

The long hot summer thins the blood, and leaves you weary, worn and wretch- ed. Nothing can cure that summer fag except Dr. Williams',Pink Pills—because they actually make new blood and thus strengthen every organ and every tissue in the body, Every dose fills you with w life n more. to for 'the Pink Pills and nothing cod can brace r. That is why Mama' Pink Pills folk, White Horse, Yukon Territory, says: "I am thirty- nine years of age and have been an ath- lete who scarcely knew the meaning of illness. Last year, however, my health gave way. I became nervous, did not sleep well and grew as weak as a kitten. It seemed as though I was completely worn out. I tried several so-called tonics, but it was only a waste of money, for they did me no good. Finally I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and they put me on my feet again, and gave me new health and strength." Every weak and easily tired man and woman will find new strength and new energy through a fair use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. They cure all blood and nerve diseases like anaemia, nervous exhaustion, headaches and backaches, indigestion, neuralgia, rheumatism and the special ailments that afflict moat growing girls and women of mature years.

EDITOR—Would you permit me space and allow me the privilege, in the interests of truth and fair play, to cor- rect a report concerning ser foot -ball match played here, between the juniors of Wingham and those of thia place. The report that the snore stood 2 to 0 in favor ofeWinghatn was apparently start- ed by someone prompted by a spirit of untruth. Instead of the score being 2 to 0 in favor of Wingham it stood 5 to 0 in favor of Jamestown. Thanking you for the space in your valuable paper. I am yours, in the interest of fair play and honesty.

Many came down the Montreal River to Latchford, and then to Haileybury, including Indians from the Temagame The Delineator For July. The midsummer fashions with a wealth of illustrations in color and in black -and - white are attractively portrayed in The Delineator for Jule. Helen Berkeley - Lloyd tells how the Summer girl will be frocked and fnrbelowed, and the Dress of Parit is discussed by Edouard La Fontaine, one of the best-known critics in Paris. In the literary seotione the most notable feature is the opening chapters of "The Ohanfienr and the Ohaperon," a new story by 0. N. arid A. M: Williamson authors of "The Lightning Conductor." The story, which deals with a group of interesting people cruising in a motor boat over the quaint waterways of Hol- land, promises to be the brightest and cleverest novel that these renowned writers have yet produced. Mrs. Mary Hinman Abel contribates a chapter on "Flies and Food" is The Delineator's Campaign for Safe Foods, and Clara E. Laughlin opens a series of "Stories of Painters' Lives," with "Millet—the Pea- sant Painter•" Burton E. Stevenson has the second part of the tale "The Rose of Sharon," and there is a short story en- titled "The Baby," by Zono Gale. "The President of Quex," Helen M. Winslow's entertaining club story, is concluded. For the children, there are Stories and Pastimes, among them the first of the series of "Tales of the Mountain Giants" and a clean story by Edmond Vance Cook "Down ;the king's Chimney." For the housewife there are many articles of 1 -Novelties timely interest, including Nevelt for e Summer Feasts, Strawberry. Favorities and New Vegetables Cleverly Served. BE A HELPER, Nor A KNOCKER The Hamilton Spectator recently gave its readers the following good advice: "Follow the lead of the people who are investing their brains and fog - tunes in the development of their home city. What matter if they are making more than you oat of it? Through their enterprise you will surely get a share of advantage. Help the industrial com- mittee even if you can do no more than show a sympathetic interest in its effort. Encourage the aldermen to be better than they havebeonby commending their good deeds, as well as condemning their bad, Make things easy rather than difficult for the railway promoter, the man with electric power at his call, the steamboat man, and all others who have at their disposal these 'schemes and utili- ties that make for municipal greatness." The Stratford Beacon follows up this with the following paragraph:— "There is growing disposition mani- fested here to retard progreea for fear someone will make something out of the concessions given for the erection of new indnetries, ae though anybody devotes his time and Weans in the furtherance of such enterprises without acme hope of personal reward. The people who take this view overlook the maxim that he who makes two blades of grass grow where only one grew before is a public benefactor, and its application to menu - factoring enterprises. The man who provides two days' work where only one was provided before le none the 1085 a puhlio benefactor because he makes something out of that labor. What benefits him benefits in a mors or less degree the community, toad it is the oontnitinity+ whose beet interests are to be looked to. Let no, therefore, amour. age in teary fair and legitimate way the men *ho are seeking to enlarge the field tot employment, rather than throw ob. �et in the %V." An eleven -year-old son of Jae Bigford was drgwned near Smith's Falls while bathing on Saturday, and the two-year- old son of Jno Fergus of Listowel was drowned in a cistern the same day.

Toronto, June 19—The run at the City Oattle Market to -day was 68 loads, with 1,165 head of cattle, 400 sheep and lambs, 400 hogs, add 202 calves. While higher prices were paid to day at the City Cattle Market for choice and fair to good cattle, still trade on the whole was slower and more draggy than it has been for some time. The reason for this state of affairs was that the good cattle, the w.ell-finished stall -fed export cattle especially were very scarce and much in demand, consequently the high- er prices than last week for the same class of cattle. On the other hand there is this week a rather heavy delivery of grass cattle, many of them, as usual, in very poor condition, For this kind of stuff there is a poor demand, and prices are, therefore, lower. The demand for fat cow beef, which for some weeks sent prices for this class of stock away up, has now practically disappeared, and prices are down from 3j to ho per. lb. This lower range of prices, however, does not apply to the better data of cattle, for one or two choice loads of 11" export steers sold to -day at $5.20 to $5.-' 111 flJ 30.
