DOT,T,AR -WHEAT,
Wheat is now close to 70 cents in
Chicago. What is more, it is going
still higher, The outlook is good
for dollar wheat between now and the
first day of January. Last year there
was a; failure of the wheat crop in.
the Southern hemisphere. This year
there is a failure of the crop in India,
and famine isknocking at the doors of
the residents of a dozen fertiledistricts.
Wheat has been bought for Calcutta
at San Francisco. If the present scare
aver free silver was not oppressing
everybody in business with a fear of
the future, there would be a jump in
the price of wheat much. more pro-
nounced than yet witnessed this year.
The increase in the price of wheat
hasibrought along other farm prod acts,
• Corn has followed wheat. Flour hands
The gain to the farmers of
the country by this increase in the
values of their products is in three
weeks just $150,000,000.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
have one. And surrounded by the
best tract of country in Canada the
Kirkton fair will continue to be a suc-
cess. To the indefatigible secretary,
Robt, Beatty, and board ofjdirectors, a
deal of praise is due ; they offer a lib-
eral prize list, and by their affability
make it a pleasure, not only a profit,
to attend.
All classes were well filled, as will be
seen by thelist of prize winners below,
and competition was keen.
The Kirkton brass band. enlivened
the proceedings with excellent music.

J. P. Whitney, leader of the Opposi-
tion in the Ontario Legislature, lead a
long conference with Sir Charles Tup-
per at Ottawa, last Friday. The date
for the proposed. Provincial Convention
in Toronto was fixed fop Tuesday, Oc-
tober 27. Notice will be sent out
shortly to all who were Conservative
candidates in Ontario at the last fed-
eral and provincial elections, and to
Presidents of city and country; lssocia-
tions.
There are some features of Canadian
politics that are funny enough to
make a horse Iaugh. The other day
in the house Mr. Davin moved an
amendment that coal oil, binder
twine and farm machinery should be
made free of duty. The average man
would naturally expect all the free
traders in the house to vote for such a
motion, but strange to relate, all the
Liberal free traders voted against it
which shows that in parliament prin-
ciples don't count when party is in
danger.

Goderich is another place which is
likely to furnish a striking illustration
of Liberal economy under the new
government of prem iers. F or
some weeks, if current report be at
all near the mark, there has been a
strong pull amongst the party here to
have a deputy collector of customs ap-
pointed, in order to make room for a
deserving and hungry party worker.
At least two well known citizens were
willing, if not anxions for the berth,
and it was stated on the street Satur-
day that one of them bad at last re-
ceived the appointment. Goderich

The Victoria Warden is sympathetic
hut hopeful towards Mr. Joseph Mar-
tin. It says :-"Poor Joe 1 He began
the school -agitation ; not for principle,
but for personal advancement. He
played it for Grit purposes. He sees
himself despised and rejected of the
-very men whom he has placed in of-
fice. He sees an iniquitous system of
Separate schools about to be foisted on
Manitoba by Greenway andSifton. He
sees Sifton become Minister of the In-
terior. He realizes that Greenway has
found solace for his troubles. He sees
Prendergast about to become a judge.
And Joe is out in the cold. But if he
behaves himself he will surely betaken
in out of the wet. The whole affair is
a disgrace to a free people." This last
sentiment should bo echoed and re-
echoed all over Canada.

A little over two weeks ago the
young son of Robert Horne, con. 8,.
London township, stepped on a corn
sickle and cut his foot just above the
heel; . The wound was carefully dress-
ed by his father, but about two weeks
later lockjaw set in, and the little
fellow lies now in a -very precarious
condition:
Florence Jean; the little daughter of
Mr. Lachlin Love, of London, died
Saturday morning under circums-
tances sad and strange, About ten
days ago Mr. Love noticed that
Florence was slightly lame in the right
leg, and when he returned that evening
she was ,decidedly ill. A doctor was
summoned, but, she continued to grow
worse. ' An operation was performed,,
but without success. Doctors held a
consultation, and decided she was
afflicted with blood poisoning. Her
case has greatly puzzled the physicians.

THEY TELL Al A�RUL STORY,
Arctic Whaling Fleet IIad Mntlnles, Fight -
Dig Scraps, Desertions, a Dnell
and a Poor Catch.
San. Francisco, Oct, 12. -The first
news from the whaling fleet in the Arc-
tic was brought in yesterday by the
steamer Tender Jennie, which arrived
in • a dilapidated condition with 59,600
pounds of bone for the Pacific Whal-
ing Co. It is a story of deaths, deser-
tions, fighting scraps, a duel, mutiny,
and, to crown all, a poor catch. The
entire fleet took only 43 whales.
The crew of the Baylies mutinied in
the Sea of Okhotsk, and the master
was obliged to surrender his ship,
which was headed for home at once.
Captain Mason of the Jennie reports
that last winter was thee most severe
ever experienced in the Arcttcs, and
the summer was correspondingly cold.
The men suffered terribly, and deser-
tions from the fleet at the mouth of
Hood's, Pills are [the best family

the McKenzie River were frequent.
There was a general exodus at one
time, and five men out of the crew
got away. They have not been heard
of since. The others were brought up
when a shower of bullets went after
them from the pursuing officers. One
of the fugitives was wounded.
Among those who died during the
winter were- William Misher, second
mate, of the barque John, and Win-
throp : Harry Williams, a cabin boy of
the barque Wanderer, and Jas, Leary.
second mate of the steamer Belviderea.
There was a sanguinary encounter
on the steamer Balaena during the
winter. Chief Officer H, P, Bowen
and Second Mate Frank Jones quarrel-
led. The trouble was patched up for
a time, but finally it broke out again
and the men came to blows. Then
a duel on the ice was arranged, and
Jones was mortally wounded. He died.
a few hours later, and was buried at
Herschel Island. Bowen is under air -
rest, and will be brought to San Fran-
cisco for trial. The Balaena and
Grampers wintered In Franklin Bay,
and the former reported four deaths
and the latter two deaths.
Human life is held too cheaply when
the individual who needs a tonic for his
system, seeks to cover bis wants by
purchasing every new mixture that is
recommended to him. Remember
that Ayer's Sarsaparilla has a well-
earned reputation of fifty year's
standing.
Three ladies, Misses Weir, Sinclair,
and Dick, of St. Marys, who are going
to India as missionaries in behalf of
the Presbyterian church, sailed from
Montreal Saturday on their way to
Bombay. Miss Dick, who was a teach-
er of elocution in Whitby Ladies' Col-
lege, will be married in India to Dr.
Thompson, of Kirkton. who has been
in India for some years as a mission-
ary.

GRAIN EN ARE NOW ON TOP
Grain Standards Disputes to be Left to the
Board at R•lnntpe„ rresident Van
Horne Consults Sifton.
Winnipeg, Oct. 12. -(Special.) -The
Winnipeg Grain Exchange has re-
ceived a memorandum from the Do-
minion Government. which, it is un-
derstood, consents that the whole
matter of the disputes as to the fix-
ing of grain standards shall be left
to the Grain Standards Board, which
meets here in a week or so. It is cer-
tain that western men, being in the
majority, will reduce the number of
grades and recommend that the stan-
dard they fix upon this year be made
• permanent
Sir William Van Horne, who was
here to -day on route to the Pacific
coast, spent two hours this morning
in consultation with Mr. Sifton, the
prospective Minister of the Interior.
What they discussed is the subject of
considerable speculation. Sir William
proceeded• west this afternoon.
Pearl Wilson, a well-known Winni-
peg courtesan, swallowed poison early
this morning in . the Main -street
apartments of her paramour. She Iles
at the point of death and doctors say
she cannot recover.

DANGERS OF TUBERCULOSIS.

eased Hulk to a Cat and the Cat
Wlli Soon Die.
Toronto, Oct. 13.
For the want of a taste keen enough
to detect microbes in her drink a big
tabby on Alice -street has came into
a world of trouble. Some months ago
Veterinary Surgeon McPherson of
Alice-stre't had a cow for treatment
that was affected with tuberculosis,
and, in order to test the effect of
milk from such a source, he gave
'pussy a cupful of it. About a month
later the cat began to lose flesh and
now sits moping and peevish by the
stove, harassed by a hacking cough
that will in a short time hurry pussy
to the grave, "The cow's mills was
sold for weeks before she was brought
to my office and destroyed," said the
vet, "and the test shows clearly
enough the danger ' the public are
running every day. It is my belief
that numbers of the dairies have ani-
mals that should be put out of the
way."

PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND,
MAKES NERVOUS PEOPLE
WELL AND STRONG.
Health is the first and most impor-
tant thing in this life of ours. Health
is a blessing far beyond our comput-
ation it is yastly more important
than wealth or great social distinction.
One of the most dreaded,troubles of
the present day is nervousness. It is•
generally acknowledged that nervous
diseases are growing alarmingly pre-
valent in our midst.
The causes that lead to Neurasthin a,
or weakness of 'the nerves, are many.
Business cares, feverish haste -
after riches, social and house-
hold worries; sexual and alcoholic ex-
cesses,
ecesses, all contribute to the breaking
down and physical ruin of bousands•
of men and women.
In words of truth and soberness, we
set before the sick and afflicted the
claims of Paine's Celery Compound as•
a quick relief and certain cure for all
forms of nervous diseases. It is a per-
fect restorer of nerve force and power -
to the weakenedand debilitatedystem.
prominent men and women, d all .over•
the country, have renewed their lives -
and kept their places in business and
in society by using Paine's Celery
Compound. In all large cities, where'
nervous diseases are most frequently
seen, the best physicians prescribe
Paine's Celery Compound with im-
mense success.
The following letter from Mrs. Alf-
red Perry, Port Maitland, N.S., proves.
that Paine's Celery Compound has no
equal for the cure of nervous di,sseases
in whatever form they may piesent
• themselves :
"For two years my system was all
run down, and I suffered more than
I can describe from nervous prostrat- •
ion and insomnia ; at times I almost
lost my reason from severe pain at
base of the brain. My husband advis-
ed Inc to try Paine's Celery -Compound,..
which I did, and the effects were
wonderful. I soon began to sleep
well, the pain left my head, my whole
system was strengthened, and I am
now enjoying very good health.
"I would cheerily recommend
Paine's Celery Compound to any-
one suffering from like troubles. You
have my best wishes for the future
success of your excellent remedy."
