few' rlars' 'ago several
wealthy capitalists of
ontreal and other places
forniei themselves into a
• company for the purpose of
buying up all the cotton mills
• of the Dominion. 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. The advance may
4P., -,41v, felt by the consumer
• or some little, as many of the
• retail merchants, anticipating
what was coming, laid in large
• stocks at the old price, and
competition is keen enough to
keep.gpwn the prices till these
• stocks have ;,,,to be, replaced,
when they are bound to go up.
• We desire here to inform
our customeas that we are
imong the fortunate ones • in

cottonades, shirtings, jeans,

'Oheeie Factory
The Lucknow cheese factory will
start'opperation on the 16th' of May.
All -Patrons please prepare to send in
your milk on or as near that date as
possible.—T. D. McInnes.
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.

Suicide in Wawanosh
• A distressing case of suicide to9k
place on lot 22, con. 5, West Wawanosli,
where Wm. 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. Their many friends in
Lucknow and vicinity will always be
pleased to hear of their success in
their new field of labor.
Marriage Bells -
The SENTINEL extends its hearty
congratulations to Mr. D. B. 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.

The late Mrs. Hugh McPherson
whose death occured on Sunday morn:.
ing the 24th at the age of 71 at the

companied by a number of . visiting
brethern from Ripley and Wingham,
celebrated the 73rd anniversary of the
Order by attending the Methodist
church in a body on Sunday morning

-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."

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.
Among them are Mr. Angus cLeod,
of Kinloss; Mr. Alex. cKenzie, of

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.

old Highland sergeant for a receipt

paper published 'for the information of
the men and officers of Toronto's new
regiment, the 48th Highlanders as
afoilows : t a room in your house,
put out the ldnd all the chairs.
Lay out the uniform on the floor.
Then scrub the legs and polish the
shins. Then • take a . new pair of
Wodllen drawers and cut them off three
inches above the knee. Pull down
the blinds and get into them. Then
raise the blinds. Next put on your
stockings, garters shoes and spats.
The kilts are not like a petticoat, but
like a string, they are wound round
the body and buckled like a belt.
Then the sporran. Then fix one end
of thAJaid and after that put on the
doublet. Then finish the plaid, no
easy task, and after that the bonnet.
Then the accoutrements. , •
"But what about the shirel" said th e
reporter.
"Oh the can go just as well without
her shirt as she can with it. Some-
times, moreover, she is better without
her hlt."
