They worked quietly but steadily ; mill after mill fell into their hands. and about a month ago after an expenditure of about - five million dollars, their desire was accomplished. Of course these men had an object in view, and that ob- ject has been shown in the immediate advance in the price of all kinds of cotton goods. They control the entire output of these mills 'They are practically without opposition .; they rule the • market.

Street Watering • A largely signed petition has been presented to the council asking that the main street of the village be watered as usual, and at the couocil meeting on Tuesday night a by-law to tht effect will likely 131k, passed. The dust on Wednesday was almost suffocating. A Little Mixed A misapprehension has arisen as to . the recent amendment to the act fixing the limit for the close season for speckled trout. The amendment of he last session of the legislature arranged the close season from Sep- tember the fifteenth to. April the first, ;but the act will not come into effect until the close of the present season. An Oldtimer Dead By a letter received from Dakota this week we learn of the death of Mr James Kailis, which tooliPlace at Rip- on on Monday, April 18th. Deceased who was a stone -mason by profession was amon,, the first, settlers of Luck - now, and for years made himself a pretainentt gure in the affairs of the village.,F 'Cheese Markets The prices promise to open out high enough this season, some sales of last week at 10 cents. Whether they will be worth that figure when the cheese are ready to ship in May is another question. It is never well • to have the market open too high. When early cheese is bought at a price at which it can be handled at a profit the market for May and June goods maintains a healthier tone. What Next It is said that by a late scientific discovery pure butter can be made for less than five cents a pound. This is more surprising even than the astonishing statement of an American paper that good bread has recently been made by a chemical process from saw -dust. Now for canned beans from old shirt buttons, dried beef from old 'boots and shoes, and fresh sausages from tan -hark.

Leddy, Sr. a resPeetecl farmer of that township hanged him- self on Friday last. Deceased had tied himself to the harrows and was dragged through the •field for some time but finding this would not ac- complish his purpose he completed his insane act by hanging to a small tree in th,e field. Temporary insanity brought' on by financial troubles was the cause. The remains were interred in St. Agustine cemetery on Sunday. 1 For the Northwest Messrs. Henry Young, Alf. Davison Thos Pierce, and Harry McKinnon, of this village left here 0. Wednesday alaSt, T6rWrthilpeg;--MatiitOba: wish them all success in the prairie' province. The Tobacco Law The bill recently passed, by the Ontario Legislature respecting the sale of tobacco to boys has become law and those who deal in this article will do well to make themselves acquainted with its provisions and be careful to observe them. Spring Seeding The farmers report this to be a splendid spring for putting,. in grain and although little growth has begun, the continued dry weather has allowed them to make rapid progress with •seeding and some of them will be through seeding this year before the •time latt year at w hich they commenced. Left for Clinton The Rev. , Mr. McKinnon, and family left the village on Tuesday last for Clinton, where he goes to' accept the pastorate of the Baptist church in that town.

Forester, of the Lucknow furniture factory on his marriage to Miss Stewart, dughter of Mr. Angus Stewart, of the lst con. of Kinloss, which happy event took place on Friday last,* the residence of the bride's parenti., We wish Mr. Forester and his happy bride , many years of happy married life. A Bear a Day While Donald McLeod and Alex, McDonald, of, the Bruce Peninsula, were inthe bush with a collie dog a few days ago it commenced to bark at what they thought to be a brush pile, but on examination proved to be a den of bears. ' Having a gun with thein they fired at bruin, who came 'Out tb fight with them. They killed one and next day they went out and killed another. Next day they went out and killed a third. New Stage The council have been in corres- pondence with Mr. Trate, of Chatham, a professional scene painter and artist regarding the building of a new ata,ge and scenery in the town hall, but we think it is hardly likely that anything will be done at it in the meantime as the price required to make a good job Of it is more than the village . can afford at present.' Mr. Trate is a first class man, and his work in the Wing - ham Opera House is simply grand Died in Michigan There died in Adarngrove settlement Earnoch county, Michigan, last week, James Munroe, who was for many years a respected resident of the town-, ship/ of Kinloss, near this ,village. Deceased was a native of Sutherland - shire, Scotland, and was 82 years and 4 months of age at the time 'of his death. He came to Canada 61 years ago and for some time settled in Toronto, where he was married, and afterwards removed to Goderich town- ship, where he resided for 35 years, He then came to Kinloss and after a residence of 12 years, removed to his late home in Michigan. He leaves a family of nine children, • all of whom are married, and a lodge number of grandchildren. To Avoid Contagion 4.a.Theabest way, Says a physibian, to prevent the poison from being absorbed lay the lungs is to have the stomach full during a period of contact or ex posure. The lungs absorb while the stomach is empty, but throw off (luring digestion, • never absorbing ' while digestion is going, on. While watching at night the nurse should take a light lunch such as beef -tea, or crackers every few hours. Another point of protection ,against contagion is personal cleanliness and frequent charges of inside and outside clothing. Passed Away • The late Mrs. Hugh McPherson whose death occured on Sunday morn:. ing the 24th at the age of 71 at the family residence near Ripley, was an native of , Rosshire, Scotland, and came to Canada in 1839.

Her remains were interred in the Kinloss cemetery on Tuesday, where they were followed by a, large concourse of behav- ed friends to their last resting place. The pallbearers were : Messrs, Smith, 14 11 Diagraceful Conduct It is not often we have to complain of the general good caller of our young men in the village, but on Monday and Tuesday rifghtSrtlieY adin tOliaite-hidt their heads and gone a' little too far iu raising a disturbance near the residence of a respectable citizen who has4recenia ly been married. the Queen's Birthday The citizens of Dungannon will cele- brate the Queen's natal day in a royal manner on the 24th of May.

J. S. Colling. The members assembled in their lodge room and marched in a body, about sixty strong, to the church under command of Marshal Past Grand Alex Ross. -A Minister's Advice ` "A minister annoyed by tobacco chewing thus spoke to his congregation: Take your quid of tobacco out of your mouth On entering the house of God, and gently lay it on the outer edge of the side walk or on the fence. It will positively 'be tbere when you go out, for a rat won't take it, a 'Cat won't. take it, a dog won't take it, neither will a hog ; you are certain, of your quid when ypu go after it. Not the filthiest vermin on earth would touch it." 401 Living in the Village During the past couple of weeks a number of gentlemen:who have :spent the: greater portion of their life's. allot-, ted time on the farm, and who laid up for themselves s,ufficent of this world's goods to enjoy the balance of their years, have purchased hornes in the village and are now living here.

Enlisted for the War Mr. Harry :Hart afforded our citizens on Tuesday night another opportunity Of witnessing' a good play in - the Town Hall, as rendered by the - members of the Lucknow' Dramatic Company. The • piece produced was entitled "Enlisted for the War" and represented a number of scenes incid- ental to the Nortwest rebellion of 1885. There was evidently a good deal more love than•war in the caste, but the different rolls were all well sustained and many times drew fourth tEe applause of the audienee.The hall was fairly well filled including some twenty young people that drove over from Wingham to witness the progranome. Mr. Hart goes to Clin- ton where he is preparing a local company for a performance in that town. ,PUTTING ON THE KILTS.
