Mr. Tueker.of West Wellington, has assured Mr. Whitney of his intention to support him, and 141r. Beatty, of Parry Sound, was nominated by the Conservative conven- tion. The number of protests enter- ed may change the situation some- what. CONSERVATIVES 44. Addington James Reid Cardwell A. E. Little Carleton G. N. Kidd Dufferin Dr. John Barr Dundas S. P.

Hill WEST HURON, Judge Osler gave judgment Satur- day morning in regard to the reserved ballots in the election appeal of West Huron. In this case Mr. Beck (Conser- vative) was declared elected on the recount by two majority over Garrow (Liberal.) There were a number of ballots disputed, on which an appeal was entered. .A. number of these were disposed of last week without chang- ing the result, Judgment was reserved in respect to fourvotes, of which one was marked tor Gamow and had been die '!awed. The three others were lnai'.:ed for Be*, of which one had been counted for Beek bythe retulning officer. and two bad been disallowed. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The Hardy government hold the reins of power to -day by the grace of a barely perceptible majority ot four or five and its fate lies in the panels of the election Courts. It is estimated that protests will be entered against the return of two. -thirds of the members of the Ontario Legislature, and the elect tion trials cannot fail to result strong- ly in favor of the Conservatives. They had practically no money with which to fight the late campaign, while cold, cash flowed like water from the coffers of the party in power. Some new features in the art of .bribery were in-. troduced into Ontario which will be dealt with by our Judges. As for in- stance :- In London voters were paid not to vote and if they attempted to do so they were challenged by Liberal scrutineers for having received money. That is probably the surest scheme ever devised for getting returns for money spent in bribery in the face of a vote by ballot., x• + x An exchange aptly remarks :-"The Ontaria election haw should be chang- ed at the next session so as to prevent a repetition of the outrage by which an apparently defeated candidate was deprived of his right to a recount in Nipissing. The clause in the act which permits of no recountwhen the declar- ed majority is more than fifty, opens a. wide and effectual door to sharp practices. In Nipissing no official statement accompanied the ballots from two divisions which gave .the Conservative candidate a majority. The exclusion of the results from these divisions compelled the returning of- ficer to declare the Liberal candidate elected by a majority of 67. Thus there could be no recount, because, while the real majority, with all the booths heard froin,was 29,the exclns- ion of two divisions put the:majority up to sixty-seven,and kept the applic- ant for a recount out of court. It is a dangerous liberty which these clauses in the law grant to the=election ocers. The circumstances in Nipissing pro= bably do not suggest deliberate foul play,but so long as the law remains as it is, the exclusion of three or four divisionsfrone the official count might permit an officer to declares, minority candidate elected by a majority big enough to shut out any application for a recount. John Barrie has been appointed col- lector of customs at Strathroy. Miss Fanny Davenport, the actress, is reported to be dying at Chicago. Robert Hutchinson has been ap- pointed collector of customs at Lis- towel. Mrs. Robert Kerr, of Montreal, was burned to death, her clothing catching fire from a gas stove: Samuel R.McNeil,son of Rev.Nlr.Mc- Neil, of Ohesley, was drowned by the upsetting of a sailboat. Rev.

A pardon bas been granted to a pri- soner at the Central Prison named David McGee who was serving a four- year term for larceny and receiving stolen goods at Woodstock. He has already served three years and was released on the ground of ill -health. A vein of coal has been struck on the farm of Mr. Archie Walker, lot 22, con. 7, about ' a mile and a half from Alyinston. Samples have been sent to Ottawa for analysis. There is not the least doubt about the find being coal, as it has been tested locally and found to barn beautifully. The residence of Joseph Cunning- ham, of Thorndale, was. entered by thieves Saturday evening and two silver watches taken. .One of the timepieces is open-faced, with a screw case and Columbus works, No. 281,406, and the word "Morphy" on the dial. The other is an old double -case, C. M. Polley, the Paris barrister, awaiting trial on a charge of fraud, has made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors. Folley's frauds are alleged to have amounted to in the neighborhood of $100,000. Interest was aroused in his case, as ninny of the business men and farmers around Paris had been clients of his. It is said Folley's-friends are endeavoring to ef- fect a compromise. The centre of interest has shifted to China, and the question pressing for settlement is whether or not the grab- bing of territory% there, especially by Russia, will end in an armed conflict of the nations, Great Britain,s interest in the onteome of the dispute is great. It will be entirely unlike the mother country's usual fortune in the East if in the scramble she does not come out ahead. The Signal a leading, Montreal Lib- eral party paper, which is controlled by R. Lemieux, M. P., calls the atten- tion of Mr. Hardy to the fact that without the support of the French ele- ment he would not now be in power in Ontario, and as a consequence claims for its compatriots a fair share of Gov- ernment patronage, It holds that the bare feet of somesix French Canadians. holding Government positions in Ont- tario does not constitute their fair share.

Hensall, The Critical Time of Maternity and the Methods of a Famous Nurse to Re- store the Mothers, strength, Evening i cr From the 1JNews,. Detroit, Mich. No woman is better fitted for nurs- ing, or has had more years of practi- cal experience in that work than Mrs. Moses Morris, of 310 Fourteenth street, Detroit, Mich, For twenty years she has been recognized as the best and most successful nurse in confinement eases, and oyer three hundred ha py mothers can testify to her skilful nursing and care. Alwayys engaged months ahead, she has had to decline hundreds of pressing and pleading ap- plications for her services. She has made a specialty of confinement oases, and has made so high a reputalon in this city that her engagement, in all cases, is taken as a sure sign of the .mother's speedy recovery. Mrs. Morris was a nurse in England before she came to America., and so was her mother and her mother's mother before her. When asked once by a leading physician the secret of her great success in treating mothers in confinement cases, she said she used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo- ple in such cases, as they build up the mother more quickly and surely than any other medicine she has ever used. Mrs. Morris was seen at her pretty little home on fourteenth Street, and when asked regarding the use of these pills in her :profession, she said: "I have used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for. Pale People since they were put on the market. They built me up when I was all run down and so nervous I could not get any rest. After they had helped me I began to use them in re- storing mothers in confinement cases. There is nothing that can be prescribed or given by a physician that will give health and strength to a mother so quickly as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. ' It is true that in some cases where the father or parents were prejudiced against the much advertis- ed Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, I gave them as "Tonic Pills," but they all came out of a Dr. Williams' Pink Pill box. "I have given them in hundreds of cases of confinement to the mothers, and it is wonderful how they build up the system. I have practically demon- strated their great worth many times and have recommended them to hun- dreds of mothers for their young daughters. Yes, I have been successful in confinement cases, but I must give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People a great part of the credit for the speedy recovery of mothers. They certainly have no equal as a strength and health builder. You can say for me that I strongly advise that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People be kept and used in every house." All the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restoreshattered nerves are contained, in a condensed form, ,in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females such as suppressions, irregu- larities and all forms of weakness. They build up the blood and restore the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they effect a radical cure in all c0.ses arising • from mental strain, over -work or excess of what- ever nature. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Brockville, Ont. A movement is on foot at present to open up Manitoulin Island and the north shore for the tan bark business. DR. Low's WORM SYRUP is a safe, sure and reliable worm expeller.

The Marquis of Salisbury, who threatens to resign the Premiership of Great Britain because of ill -health, bas been in public life since 1854, when, at the age of 24, he first entered par- liament. His lordship's full name is Robert Arthur Talbot Gascogne Cecil. He spent a number of years of his life writing trenchant editorials for the newspapers. S as Scott's and we sell it much cheaper," is a statement sometimes made by the druggist when Scott's Emulsion is called for. This shows that the druggists themselves regard Es rr ®siov of Cod -Liver Oil with Hypuphos- phites of Lime and Soda as the standard, and the purchaser who desires to procure the "standard" because he knows it has been of untold benefit, should not for one instant think, of taking the risk of using some untried prepa- ration. The substitution of something said to be "just as goodi' for a stand- ard preparation twenty- five years on the market, should not be permitted by the intelligent pfirchaser.
