EDITORAL NOTES.
The disgrace of two Toronto bank
clerks of good family who fell to the
alluring evil of racetrack gambling is
liable to start something worth while
against the legal form of betting which',
now prevails. Apparently the hand-
book men are still active in Toronto.
but there is no moral difference be-
tween betting with a handbook man on
the curbstone and betting at the track.
The allurement of each has broken
many a young man, and many women
as well. -Brantford Expositor.
Insurance like banking can apparent-
ly be done in the States without even a
suspicion of weakening Canadian loyal-
ty. The manufacturers who protest
against the farmers doing business in
the States without paying for the per-
mission have themselves placed insur-
ance to the extent of $150,000,000 in
the United States companies and paid
nothing for doing so. Many of these
companies, through a technicality, do
not even pay a Canadian license. Bank-
ing in New York and insurance in Bos-
ton is apparently safe, but for a farmer
to sell some of his produce in Detroit
market, without paying for the privi-
lege, is not safe. Some day the farm-
ers will want to know the reason for
such a different view and will insist
upon an answer. -Listowel Banner.
The dismissal of Mr. Wm. Ireland,
late customs officer at Parry Sound,
appears to call for some sort of ex-
planation. Mr. Ireland is now a man
upwards of sixty, to whom the loss of
his means of Livelihood is a serious
matter, and it is claimed by his friends
that the charge against him of offen-
sive partisanship is absolutely baseless.
In any case, Mr. Ireland was entitled
to a public investigation before action
was taken. The North Star declares
that Mr. James Arthurs, M. P., who is
responsible for the dismissal, is "too
small and insignificant to represent a
riding like Parry Sound." We know
nothing about that, but to any right
thinking person this business of dis-
missing Government officials on petty
charges must appear contemptible and
unworthy of any man big enough to be
honored with a seat in Parliament. -
Orilla Packet, Conservative.
The Montreal Star is having a hard
time getting Canadians properly scared
over the German bogey. "We con-
fess," it says, "that it is difficult for
us to continue to debate the reality of
the German menace with that proper
Christian patience which is so desirable.
This belated and localized skepticism -
for it is only to be found in Canada -
seems to be remarkably perverse, and
surely can only be genuine in persons
who have been asleep for the last two
or three years." The Star scare artist
himself must certainly have been asleep
if he has found no skepticism outside
of Canada. It is a fact that there are
a large number of clear-headed repre-
sentative men and journals in England, Almost four times as much cocaine
who see Iittle reason to believe that was imported into Canada in the first

a former resident of the Second Line
of West Luther, when five generations
met for a group photograph. The five
were: Mr. Coram; his daughter, Mrs.

W. B. Peal, of Ileekwood; her son. Mr.
George Peal, and his baby. Mr. Cor-

Messrs. John Paterson, Tom Phillips
and George Webb have returned from
Cochrane, New Ontario. Mr. Paterson
purchased a homestead near there.
Messrs. D. McDonald, D. McKenzie,
A. Aitcheson and J. Philips have left
for different points in the west. A large
number went west last Friday. The
farmers here will be very short of help
then, as owing to the continued wet
weather there ;s a great amount of
grain to cut, and all spring grain that
is cut is still too wet to be taken into
the barns.
MORRIS.
Mrs. Russel Wheeler, of Southamp-
ton, is here on a visit at her father's,
Jas. Bowman, M. P.
The Mitchell bridge gang, consisting

Edmonton where they have relatives.
Mrs. S. Fear will take up residence
in the Smith home, 9th con., and her
daughter, Miss Mary, who is engaged
to teach in S. S. No. 1, will board with
her mother.
Miss Mary Dark, daughter of Wm.
Dark, has been engaged to teach school
at Winger, Welland Co., at a salary of
$600. Miss Dark is a good teacher and
we wish her success.
The trustees of what is known as
Button's school, 8th line, have engaged
Miss Cowan, of Blyth, as teacher for
the ensuing year at a salary of $500.
The East 150 acres of the Kelly farm
con. 7, has been purchased by F. Beirn-
es from Dr. W. L. Holmes, Brussels,
for the sum of $7,000. Mr. Beirnes is
now on the farm as a tenant. He has
secured a fine farm at a fair price.
About 2.30 o'clock Monday morning,
August 26th, the large bank barn of
George Kirkby, 9th line, was struck by
lightning and totally consumed. Fol-
lowing a close flash of lightning and a
great peal of thunder the north-west
corner of the building was seen to be
afire and almost instantly the flames
appeared to envelop it. Several mem-
bers of the family were up owing to
the storm and hastened to the stable
and rescued a mare from the stables
under the barn but a brood sow and
pigs, a fat hog, 2 calves and 200 or
more valuable hens and chickens were
among the live stock consumed. In
addition 65 or more tons of hay and
clover for seed were burned, some im-
plements and the usual belongings of
barn and stable. Only by the most
strenuous efforts, aided by the chang-
ing of the wind, was the dwelling house
saved. The barn was a good one 56x84
feet and will be rebuilt. Insurance
was carried in the Howick Mutual,
$1200 being on the building and $1590
on contents. Fortunately the grain
was in the field.
Dr. Wm. S. Bruce, the noted Scot-
tish explorer, was rescued by a steam-
er at Advent Bay.
GREY.
Robert McKinnon and Will Cardiff
were among those who went West with
the Farm Labourer's Excursion.

Silver Corners cheese factory sold 385
boxes of cheese, being last half of July
and first half of August, at 13 3 16 cents

looks good and fine crops were expected.
Although Mr. Denman'added 20 pounds
to his weight he has not much notion of
pulling up stakes in Grey township. Mr.
and Miss Denman greatly enjoyed the
outing.
A chorus girl was shot by her hus-
band while motoring with another man

LIVE STOCK MARKETS.
Toronto. Sept. 3 -Union Stock Yards
-Receipts, 44 cars.
City Market -Receipts, six cars.
The City Market was practically de-
serted to -day while for the time being
the centre of trade activity seems to
have shifted to the yards at West To-
ronto. At the City Market there were
but six cars of stock received, '75 sheep
and lambs, and 86 calves. There were
no hogs received.
The attraction of the Exhibition may
have affected the attendance at the
City Market to some extent, but out-
side of that was a desire on the part of
local dealers generally to strengthen
the Tuesday market at some one point,
and possibly to cut out a Monday butch-
er's market altogether.
At the Union Stock Yards, 44 cars of
fresh stock arrived, and with a large
proportion of yesterday's receipts left
over for to -day's market, made a total
offering of something over a thousand
head of cattle.
