The railway commission has approved of the plans for a tunnel by the Detroit Channel Company. The tunnel under the Detroit River will Bust from $7,000,- 000 to 810,000,000. There will be two tubes laid in cement, 65 feet below the bed of the river. The tunnel will be op- erated by electricity. The number of foreigners proceeding to British colonies it decreasing. The first eight months of 1905 they numbered 22,630; this year, 'x0,770, of whom nearly 18,000 went to Canada. More than half the Britons who lett Eugland went to the colonies. These totalled 1J1,550, of whom 92,519 went to Canada. Canada's imports for the two months ended August 31 amounted to $51,187,- 578, and the exports of domestic pro- ducts to $40,600,109, an increase of $6,- 501,315 and of $6,647,784 respeotively, and a total betterment of $15,149,097. Forest products offer the best showing among the exports, the total shipments being $16,573,447, a gain of over three millions of dollars. The exports of animals and their products reached the respectable total of $4,793,606, a gain of $2,200,000, Speaking to a Daily News reporter, C. W. Staples, Grand Representative of the state of Wisconsin to the Oddfellows' Convention at Toronto said: "I really can't say I'm surprised to find Canada just what it is, and Canadians just what they are. The beet advertisement Can- ada has is the calibre of the yonng men she sands into the States. Now a days whenever a young man of exceptional earnestness and energy is noted making his way to the front we forthwith begin to suspect he is a Canadaian. Canadians are in big demand with us." BLOOD TROUBLES Cured Through the Rich, Red Blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Actually Hake. Thousands of women suffer from headaches, bachaohes, dizziness, laagn or and nervousness. Few realize that their misery all comes from the bad state of their blood, They take one thing for their head, and another for their nerves. And yet all the while it ie simp- ly their blood that is the cause of all their trouble. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure all these and other blood troubles because they actually make new, rich, red blood. Mrs. J. H. McArthur, St. Thomas, Ont., says: Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done me a world of good. For about eighteen months I was a constant sufferer. I was terribly run down and the least exertion left me fagged out. I slept badly at night and this further weakened me, and finally I had to give up housekeeping and go boarding as I was quite unable to do any housework. I took dootor's medi- cine bat it was of little or no benefit. One day a neighbor told me how ranch bene- fit she had derived. from Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and advised me to try them. I sent and got three boxes, and by the time I had used, them I could feel a change for the better. Then I got four boxes more, and before they were all gone my health was fully restored. To see me now one would not think I had ever been sick for day, and I can hon• estly say I owe my renewed health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the great- est cure there is for the weakness and backaches and sideaches of anaemia; all the pains and aches of rheumatism, sciatica and neuralgia, and ill health that follows any dieturbance of regulari- ty in the blood supply. Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50o a box or six boxes for $2 50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont Without a dissenting voice, and with- out another name being proposed, Mr. John Tolmie, ex -M. P., of Kincardine, was Friday afternoon selected by North Bruce Liberals as their candidate in the coming bye -election, occasioned by the death of the late Conservative member, Mr. L. T. Bland. There was such a feeling of unity among the delegates ea- sembled in Tara as had never before been witnessed in the riding. It was seen at the outset that Mr. Tolmie was the choice of the timber men from the peninsula, as well as of the prosperous farmers from the more southern town- ships. The Toronto Star commends the in- creasing independence on the part of Canadian newspapers of either party, and it infers that this independence is but a reflection of the increasing inde- pendence upon the part of the communi- ty. There is no doubt about this. Al- most any newspaper editor can testify to the fact that in • both the Grit and Conservative parties there is an increas- ing number of men of independent thought who refuse to be blinded by partizan bigotry. This is a wholesome condition of affairs whioh is altogether likely to continue to the marked benefit of Canada.—Brockville Times. The Whitney Government may or may not have a general affection for public ownership but the fact remains that in this particular case—the very first case that has arisen to test its regard for public ownership—it has abandoned the principle and gone over to the enemy. And it must be borne in mind that this particular waterpower was inspected by Mr. Beck, the chosen guardian of public ownership, and he expressly advised that it be not handed over to any private corporation. He said that it was a part of a system, of the Lower Trent, which ought to be administered as a united public enter- prise. The Government took this power out of the system and gave it to a priv- ate corporation. There could not be a clearer case of repudiation.—Toronto Star.

CI1BRRY PECTORA. THE FRATERNAL SOCIETIES. The report of 1905, issued by the Pro- vinoialInspeetor of Insurance and Re- gistrar of Friendly Societies, contains statistics illustrating the remarkable strength in Oatario of the fraternal and benovelent organizations chartered to do business in this Province, although some have their headquarters outside its boundaries. Oa December 31, 1905, there were 264,310 members in the 26 organizations reporting, who had life insurance or benefits in the nature there- of. In addition there were 68,975 mem- bers in 86 societies insured for sick and funeral benefits. The amount of insurance benefits paid in Ontario during 1905 was $2,268,140 on 1,764 matured claims. The disability benefits paid totalled $43,316. The as- sets in Ontario were $5,641,352, and the liabilities $402,267. Of those insured only for sick and funeral benefits 1,452 died during tke year; $68,984 was paid for funeral bene- fits. The number sick was 26,633, the number of weeks sickness 97,344, the amount paid for sick benefits $469,225; for medical attendance, $67,- 627; for special relief, $9,977. The as- sets at tbe end of 1905 were $1,887,291, and the liabilities $24,543. YOUNG MAN, ATTENTION! THE fifteen applicants have so far appeared, and fully one hundred men are needed to man the fields. The annual meeting will be held in Knox Church, Toronto, on October 2. Rev. H. McQuarrie, pastor of North Bruce and St. Andrew's Presbyterian Churches for thirteen years, has tendered his resignation, to take effect on Jan. 1. Mr. McQuarrie was for many years pastor of the Wingham Presbyterian Church. The noted evangelists, Messrs. Cross- ley and Hunter, are to hold a series of revival meetings in Teeswatar. The meetings will commence on Sunday, the 30th inst., and will be conducted ander the union auspices of the Methodist and Presbyterian congregations. The meet- ings will be held in Knox church. Are you interested in the subject !of Hell? Some people say that it is not believed in any more. Pastor Fitch will speak next Sunday evening on the sub- ject of "Hell, what is it?" He intends following this up by "The Punishment of Hell" "The Road to Hell" and "So- ciety in Hell." Come and participate in au earnest consideration of this live question. An effort is being made to organize a new movement Bible Class in connection with the Methodist Church. The class will probably meet at the same time as the Sunday School, but will not be in connection with it. A meeting for or- ganization will be in the auditorium of the onurch on Sunday afternoon next at 2.30 o'clock. All those interested in this work are invited to be present. It's not any too early for a young man, or a young woman, for that mat- ter, to make plans for the coming win- ter. You remember how you let last Winter slip away from you without making any effect to improve the time. Are you going to do the same the com- ing winter? Are you satisfied with your present condition and attainments? Don't you think it would be worth your while to take up some course of etudy which would help you in your business or trade? It is the expert who is in de- mand at big salaries these days—the man who can do something that others can't do, or who can do it better than others can. Yon don't need to be told that their is always room at the top, and that the struggle for a job, for a living, is down among the crowd, among the fellows who are not any more expert than their neighbors. To get out of that crash and crowd, to get into a posi- tion where two jobs are looking for yon, instead of yon and others looking for the same job, you have got to become a splendid adept at your calling, what- ever that may be. But you won't be- come that without an effect. If yon make np your mind to spend all your leisure time in mere amusement or loaf- ing, you at the Panna time make up your mind that you are to remain in the same old rut, and have the same old struggle year in and year out for an existence. Of course, a chap must have some time for diversion and social enjoyment. I like some of that myself. But there should always be time for Belt -improve- ment. Think it over,—The man in Overalls, in The Hamilton Times. CHURCH NOTES. WINGHAM TIMES, SEPTEMBER Toronto, Sept 25 --The run at t ho City Cattle Market to -day was 70 loads, with 819 head of cattle 8,167 sheep and lambs, 300 hogs; and 127 calves. There was a light ran to -day, and the offerings of cattle showed no signs of improvement as to quality over the last week or two. There is a good demand for a better class of cattle, for both the butcher and the export market, but for general run of stuff just now coming in, there does not appear to be a very active market. There will from this out for the next few weeks be a good demand for feeding cattle for the stables. Heavy export cattle are unchanged, but there are very few well finished cattle now offering, though there are said to be some good cattle in the ooun- The following are the quotations: Exporters' cattle— Per 100 lbs.

At the meeting of the General Con- ference of the Methodist Church in Montreal last week, the question of dividing the work in connection with missions brought out a heated discussion and Rev.

With the light run of oattle, however, everything was cleaned np before the close of the mar- ket. There was a heavy run of sheep and lambs, but the market is good and firm, with lambs quoted about ton cents high- er. Hoge are firm with the light run, and also quoted ten Dents higher.
