Obituary.—From the Garden City (S, Dakota) Tribune, we take the following notice: Early Monday morning of last week, there died at her home, in our city, Mrs. D. F. Me- KaY, at the age of 61 years, 0 months and 20 days. Mrs. McKay was born in the Twp. of Grey, Huron Co., Ontario, on the 27th day of April, 1864. and was a daughter of John and Mrs. Jgnes. On Feb. 27th, 1884 she was married to her now bereavezl husband. In the spring of 1884, Mr, and Mrs. McK moved to 'Raymond, S D „r. •whero-ey resided until the fall of 1889 when they moved to Henry, residing there until 1908, when they calve to Garden City, where they have . since made their home. To this union were born three daughters and two sons. The daughters are: Mrs. H. A. Hausen and Mrs. C. E. Graham, of Henry, and Miss Eva Helen McKay of Water- town. The sons are: R. J. McKay, Henry, and W. A. McKay, of Wil- low Lake. The deceased also leaves to mourn her loss her husband and three sisters. Mrs. Sarah Johnston. Kissimmie, Mrs. George Bateman, •Ethel, Florida;Ont.; and Mrs. Elizabeth..,Mitchell, Brussels, i�:)nt. Also five grand -daughters — Leona Hausen, Elinor Hausen, Lois Mdfay, Phyllis MclCay and Eileen Graham. Willis Hausen, a grandson, passed away in 1918. Mrs. McKay was con- verted when 18 years of age under the pastorate of Rev... C. S. Willis, joining the Primitive Methodist church at Cranbrook, Ont. At Ray- ifand, S. D., she joined the M. E. Church by letter from her pastor in Canada and was at the time of bee death a member of the M. E. church in Garden City. No one ever sought her help but found a ready and lov- ing response to their call. She was a faithful, loving wife and one of the best of mothers. She surely was a servant of the Saviour of the World. She was a faithful member of the church, not only faithful to her church. but just as faithful in believ- ing that it was her duty as a Christ- ian to cio thewill of her Master at all times. She was always ready to lend a helping hand in time of need both in acts anis kindness 4utd words. At the Mast, while surrounded by her husband, daughters and sous, being enable' to speak she opened her eyes and ivilh a pleasant smile on her face, gave them all farewell. Truly she could say, "0 Death, where is tlty Sting? ' .O Grave, where is thy vic- tory?" Rev. W. M. Redfield conclud- ed the services at. the church Wednes- day ednes day afternoon, and the sweet solemn music of the choir touched every heart, At the close of the service an unusually long procession follow- ed the funeral cAr to our "silent city." The flo}}•al offering was im- mense. The no -Niers so typical of her we mourn, mutely speak of the path- os of parting, were pieced on the v casket by friends who loved the sweet sleeper. The Tribune, with the many friends of the surviving family, ex- tend heartfelt sympathy. - EAST WAWANOSH Ou 'I.'hanksgivitig Day lemming, Mrs, Thomas Rose passed peacefully away at the borne of her daughter, Mies, Daniel McGowan, in East C'Vawlutosh, Mrs, Ross was seized with a stroke on Saturday evening, from wheal abe never rallied.

Recount, Judge F. N, Lewis banded out the final figures of the official recount tit, 8 o'clock last Thursday evening, The figures now stand, Geo, Spotton, Cons., 5,088; 3, W. Bing, Prog,, 5,- 080, giving the Conservative candid- ate' a majority of 8 votes and Mr, Mcighen's party another seat in the House. The previous count stood, King. 5,842, Spotton, 5,178, as re- ported by the returning °Inca's count, Polls No. 2, Grey, No, 0, Grey, and No. 7, Ashfield, where all counter. foils were left on ballots were thrown out by the judge. The results in these polls were, respectively, for King, 88, Spotton 24; King, 90, Spot- ton 89; King 82, Spotton 19. These polls give King a majority o:e 178. His total majority in the riding was 169. The recount gave Spotton a majority of 9, but Judge Lewis found in othor subdivisions, changes which removed three votes originally counted for Spotton and. two originally counted for Ring. This makes the final majority far Spotton, according to the recount. AS eight. • 10,515 Ballots Cast. The total number of ballots cast in the riding was 10,515, and all of these were scrutinized and counted personally by Judge Lewis. Objoe tion for various reasons was made to 140 of the ballots. The judge found that quite a num- ber had counterfoils attached, but ruled that under section : 6, subsec- tion 3, which is a saving clause, these ballots would be counted. He threw out the five mentioned above because of the way in which they were mark- ed. The judge, in' giving his decision, stated that secrecy was the essence of the act, and that deputies did not leave counterfoils on ballots through inadvertence, but through ignorance of the law. Quoting from cases at West Calgary and South. Waterloo and South Orford, where 14Ir. Justice Clute in court .of appeal gave a rul- ing, in Owen Sound when Mr. Justice Lennox gave a decision, and in Wind- sor, where Mr. Justice Logie ruled, he gav'e a preecedent showing that lack of secrecy meant that all ballots from the three polls in question must be ruled out. Parties Escape Costs. As the fault of the error rests with the deputy returning officers, no costs of the recount were placed on either party. There is only one appeal from the county judge's recount, and it ie ex- pected that a petition will now be in- stituted by citizens of theriding ask- ing for a trial court on the grounds of .irregularities an4 the practical disenfranchisement o£ 842 voters.
