A. 33RD YEAR, NO. a?. 33RD 32, R'I, *G1IAbI, WINGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, APRIL . , 190u THURSDAY, ARIL j, 1000 iwoF $LOQ PER YEAR IN ADVANCE WINOHAM TOWN COUNCIL, A. special, meeting of the Town Council was held .on Wednesday even, Ing to consider the best method of getting rid of the water tinct causes loss and annoyance to the Upholstery factory. A. review was taken of the plans submitted by Engineer Davis some two years or more ago, rind two or three methods were discussed :- 1st—Tile building of a storm drain to carry the water northward to the river, at a cost of $1200. 2nd—The building of a 10 inch sewer and 0 inch cellar drain pipe down Josephine street. 3rd—The building of a trunk sewer, 24 inch diameter, from corner of Al- fred street to south end of town, There would not, perhaps, be much difference in the cost of the first two (combined) and the third.ird. The te a 1 -ell seemed rather to favor the third method, as that would give a perma- nent sewer on front street, sufficient for all practical purposes. Mannar-Forbes—That we submit n By-law for $6,000 to build a trunk sewer from Shuter street along Alfred street to Josephine street and down Josephine street to the river—carried.. McDonald--Bennett—That the pro- perty owners on Josephine street be assessed 35 per cent. of the cost of the sewer, the balance to be paid by gen- eral taxation—carried, Mr. Barber, of Meaford, addressed tato Council regarding improvement in the power system of the electric light plant. At present there are two waterwheels in use, and he found that 11,104 cubic feet of water was required to produce about 50 Horsepower. He proposed to guarantee to put in one of bis wheels that would only use some 7200 cubic feet of water, and fur- nish 165 horsepower, thereby effecting a great saving in use of coal, etc., by economizing the water available. The cost would be about $900, no money to be paid until the guarantee was completed. As the audit had not been completed of the Electric Light accounts, the Council could give Mr. Barber no definite reply. Mr. Spotton asked the co-operation of the Council in reference to an en- tertainment, including a lecture by Judge Barron of Stratford. Tho Busi- ness College would furnish part of the program ; the proceeds to be devoted to purchasing tents for consumptives, the tents to bo the property of the Town. On motion by Hanna and Forbes, it was decided to give the Hall for this charitable effort, free of charge. Council adjourned. REGULAR 'MEETING. The regular monthly meeting of the Council was held on Monday evening ; members all present except Conn. Nicholson. The minutes of March regular and special Meetings were approved.

There died in Goderich on Monday last, a lady well known in Wingiuun, Mrs. Rachel Anderson)lot ot of Mrs. Halsey Park. Deceased was 80 years of ago. Tho remains were taken to Kincardine on Wednesday for inter- ment and were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Park and Miss Anderson, For The West, Mr. and Mrs. H. Wightlmtt leave for the west this week.

This will give him an opportunity to look around, and after a few months in the new proviuco, he will 1)e in a better position to judge as to the best place to locate. Herbert is a young man of good business ability and irreproachable character. We expect to hear of his doing well, and becoming a useful citizen of some rising western town. Wingham citi- zens regret his removal and wish him mach success. School Trustee Election. Very little interest was taken in the School Trustee election on Monday, Y, possibly on account of an election be- ing so unusual at this time of the year. However, the nomination was held at the appointed time. Two vacancies wore to be filled. One in Ward 1, caused by the death of Thos. Abraham, the other in Ward 4, caused by the resignation of Dr. Irwin. For Ward No. 1, Alex. Ross was nominat- ed by H. Davis and J. D. Long. For Ward No. 4, T. Hall was nominated by Thos. Gregory and W. A. Currie. No other nominations were made, and Town Clerk Ferguson declared the two nominated, duly elected Trustees of Wingham Public School Boarci. FOR SALE.—One second-hand buggy in good repair, also a set of single har- ness, nearly new.—J. A. Haugh. Dangerous Work. Two cheques were presented at the Bank of Hamilton here, purporting to be signed by Dr. T. Chisholm, M. P. One of the cheques ($23) was cashed in Palmerston by an hotel -keeper ; the other was for $76.40, and was cashed at a Pickering Bank, the young man who presented it, having been identi- fied. It turns out that the signature is not Di•. Chisholm's, hence some per- son has had the audacity to use the doctor's name too freely, and is likely to get into trouble. It is said that the individual is known. It is a very dangerous course for any young plan to venture ou, as the penalty is severe. We defer further comment at present, but these are the facts in the case. A Forcible Lesson. In the Toronto Courts last week, there was heard no appeal that carries 3' with it a forcible lesson on the evils of intemperance, viz., the case of Far- quharson vs. Dowd. This case was first brought to trial in Walkerton assizes, to set aside as fraudulent and void as against creditors a conveyance made by Maurice Dowd of some farm property in Luther, and was dismiss- ed by the trial judge. The plaintiff's appeal met a similar fate, being dis- missed with costs. Mrs. Dowd is i11 in the asylum, but her husband, 1Iau- eloe Dowd, who was serving a sent- ence in the Central Prison for vagrancy at the time of the trial, is now in the enjoyment of his liberty and left for the North West a few weeks ago. Ten or twelve years ago Maurice Dowd Was one of the most prosperous and respected farmers of Arthur township, but in an evil day for himself and his family he disposed of his flee faint and entered upon the cancer of a hotel -keeper at Arthur vil- lage. Soon he fell into drinking him- self and in a few years had become a hopeless drunkard.

The result was, that the thumb of that hand was severed nt the first joint, and the fore finger at the second joint. Mr. Calhoun bad just resumed work after bring off for some time, and now he will be laic) aside. His many friends sympathize with hint in his misfortune. Gone West. The following is from the Wacker. ton Telescope, and refers to Mr. Day, a former citizen of Wingham :—"On Thursday of last week Harry Day and Richard Harrison shipped three car loads of horses and settlers' effects to tato west. Their destination is about 40 utiles this side of Regina. Each has a section of land. No breaking has been done on Harrison's land, but on Day's land 100 acres is ready for crop. Harrison took 10 horses, and Day 20. Competent judges say that on the whole they were the best lot of horses that ever left the Walkerton station. If Day strikes a good crop this year, he will make a pot of money." Furnished rooms to let at private residence.— - Apply at Advanceoffice. Paper -hanging, painting, etc., neat- ly and promptly done.

The annual Supper of the Hockey teals was held at the Ring Edward on Thursday evening last, and a large number sat down to a splendid repast prepared by Mr. and Mrs. Orr. After the supper had been thoroughly en- joyed, Mr. R. Vanstone was called to preside. Eight members of the team were presented with a signet ring, in acknowledgment of the services ren- dered, the presentation being made by Mr. Thos. Bell. "Our Country" was responded to by Rev. T. S. Boyle and Dr. Redmond ; "Our Industries," by R. Clegg and F. J. Taylor ; "Hockey," —D. D. Wilson, Dr. Kennedy and Dr. Bethune ; "Athletics"—W. G. Reicl and Geo. Spotton ; "Our Patrons and The Press"—C. G. VanStone and H. B, Elliott ; "The Ladies"—W. J. Greer and L. H. Hansou. The Wingham Hockey team hold the championship and Trophy for another year. Silver Anniversary. The 25th anniversary of the Wom- an's Missionary Society of the Metho- dist Church was celebrated by the Wingham Auxiliary on Thursday evening. The Society in 1881 only had 500 members, and raised that year $3,000. This year they report 30,008 members, and $85,400 raised. Mrs. (Dr.) Towler presided on Thurs- day evening, Most efficiently. Several interesting papers were read dealing with the state of the work in various parts of the mission field. Mrs. Well - wood dealt with China, Mrs. Bosman with Japan, Mrs. Sperling with the Indian work, and Mrs. Ford with that among the French Canadians. Some time ago, the ladies decided to each earn at least aL dollar for the anniver- sary, and a number of them earned more. It was quite amusing to hear them telt of the methods adopted to earn the $. Irl this respect, Mrs. Keeler headed the list, leaving earned $0 by making and selling candy, start- ing with ten cents worth of sugar. The Musical part of the entertainment comprised --Instrumental duet, Misses Ball and Fessant ; vocal selection, Misses Wellwood and Kerr; Solo, Miss Edith Hall; instrumental, Miss L. Kerr; duett, Miss lliason and lit'. Hammond, and a very fine instru- mentel by Mr's. Tiollltrtll and )lel' sis- ter, Miss Sparling. This last was especially and deservedly appreciated; also a solo by Mr. A. M. Robinson. Mrs. Geed)? announced that Mrs. hall had been made a life member, her son, John, having kindly paid the necessary fee. It was alae decided to inake Mrs, Ileltn, sen., (who was ill anti unable to attend) 11 life member of the Society. Refreshments were then served and a very pleasant evening's entertainment ended. 111r.

This ease was a suit for damages, tetrd before Judge Holt in Goderich, on Tuesday, and is of local interest, both parties living in town. One evening, its the fall of 1904, Hiss Lizzie Fleuty was driving on Josephine street in company with Miss Thomas. When near the Town Hull the bus of the Brunswick hotel, collided with the buggy, and the occupants were thrown out. Miss Fleuty was injured, so that she was unable to work for some time, and even yet feels the ef- fects. The case carne up for trial last fall, and was postponed. A number of witnesses front this vicinity gave evidence on Tuesday. R. Vanstone had charge of the case for Miss Plenty, and'Dickinson & Holmes re- presented 1111•. Orr. The Judge reserv- ed decision. individual Communion Set. The Trustees of Wingham Metho- dist Church have purchased an In.- dividuatl Communion Set. Sacred as the observance of the Lord's Supper Is, many have objection to drinking from the same cup. In these days, when germs of dire diseases, such as cancer, consumption, and others, are so pre- valent, people cannot be too careful. The individual cups detract r othin g from the sacredness of the Sacrament and are perfectly safe from a sanitary standpoint. The set purchased con- sists of five tables, each containing 70 small glasses, or 380 in all. There are also a number of trays that may be used in the Lovefeast services. The tables have folding legs and covers ; there are also silver fillers, washers, etc. The congregation will no doubt appreciate this action of the Trustees. The set cost $05 cash, and is one of the best on the market. At Town Hall, Friday, Saturday and Saturday matinee. Miss Pauline Hammond and Company in comedy and drama.

The Auditors' report is now being printed, and then every ratepayer may examine any department of the finances, There has been considerable criticism of the Town's purchase, as well as of the Executives manage- ment of the department, and a brief reference to the report of the Auditors may help to the proper understanding of the present condition of the depart- ment of Electric Light. We give aL few figures— Total receipts for 1905 $0570 131 " expenditure 8038 20 Balance on hand $ 938 38 Tho auditors in ascertaining the as- sets and liabilities deducted from the purchase price of the plant• ($28,000), supplies, fuel, etc., their on hand, and found the net value of the plant, $25,9-18.09. To this they a(1c1e11 the value of all permanent improvements such ass extensions of the line, But the cost of snaking these improve- ments was paid out of currant account and only the material used charged to permanent improvements. This we believe was the right way to do. By adding the value of the permanent improvements, they find as follows :— Actual vatltte of plaint Jan. 1st, 1000 $23,185 37 Other assets 2,918 70 Total assets $31,431 13 I.IABILITIEB. 28 Debentures, principal Accounts payable Total liabilities $28008 80 4 05 $28012 85 Total profits to Jan. 1, 1900... $2.521 28 Net profits during 1001 1053 01 1005 $1407 07 So that its the 25 months to Jan. 1st, 1000, the plaint has paid all running expenses, also two debentures of the purchase motley, of $1731.00 each, and given the Town n clear twofit of $2521.19. Besides, it must not be for- gotten that on account of the condi- tion of the money market at the time, there was a loss on the sale of the de- bentures of $1,050. This hits also been maul° up nut of the profits, so that amount should really be added to the total profit from the working of the plant, thus-- Net profits to date $'2521 28 Loss on debentnees made good 1050 00 Total profit itx 25 months$,3.371 2i3 Mayor Bell is now of the opinion that • the cost of light to the Citizens conkl be reduced.
