on behalf of the local brethren. The
first speaker of the day was then
called upon, Bro. Fred Dane of Toron-
to, Associate D. G. M. of Ontario West.
Bro. Dane delivered a too brief ad-
dress, replete with characteristic hu-
mor, but full of force and good advice.

the Order, its true aim, and the need
of such principles, urging all his hear-
ers to loyally strive to support and
spread the Order.
Rev, Bro, Win. Lowe, Rector of St.
Matthews, London, Provincial Grand
Chaplain, followed, emphasizing the
religious side of Orangeism. He called
on the Orangemen to be Godly in life,
o support their respective Churches,
o attend Church regularly, and to
read the "open Bible."
The third speaker, Rev. Bro. T. S.
Boyle, Rector of Wingham, gave a
moderate address, dealing chiefly with
the French and English race problem
in Canada,
Rev. L. W. Small, Presbyterian
minister of Blyth, closed the after-

Iivered a baseball match was played
on the Agricultural Park between
Milverton and Blyth. At the end of

verton 5, Blyth 3 ; when the Milver-
ton team left the field.

number went to Londesboro, No. 863.
The celebration was an unqualified
success in every way and Blyth Lodge
is to be congratulated on the splendid
result of the committee's hard work.
The day was a credit to them, and the
orderly, well-behaved body of men in
uniform were a credit to Orangeism in
Huron.

tion in Lucknow.Mr. A. T. David-

TWO DROWNING ACCIDENTS.
Two Families Plunged In Deepest Grief
Last Sunday Afternoon.
On Sunday last two sad drowning
accidents occurred, one in Wingham,
the other in Wroxeter. Two young
men lost their lives, and two families
were suddenly plunged into poignant
grief and sad bereavement.
On Sunday afternoon, John Calvin
Knox, son of Mr. and Mrs, R. Knox of
town, and Robt. Thomas of Toronto,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas of Blue -
vale, went out in a small canoe•on the
Maitland. Many stories are abroad
as to how the accident occurred.
After careful enquiry, the Advance
has obtained the following facts :—
The boys were apparently novices
with a canoe, and When they passed
the bridge at the foot of McKenzie's
hill, were kneeling in the canoe. In
beetling out into the stream again, the
canoe rocked and took in water ; this
appears to have alarmed the cU-
Pants+ and
they stood tp
,
whenan
the
canoe at once capsized. Thomas suc-
ceeded in getting to the upturned
canoe and clung to it until be was res -
cu
cued, His companion,ranion, however,
was
s
not so fortunate, and went down to
his death, The accident was witness-
ed by several from the bridge, and
John Maddigan at, once plunged in
and rescued Itobt. Thomas, A crowd
soon collected, and several who were
accustomed to the water made efforts
to secure the body of his comrade.
The successful effort was made by a
young men named Ed. Britton, of
Stratford, who was here on his hall.
days, Knox was found lying on his
back in twelve feet of water, Medical
aid was at hand, but the body having
been in the water an hour and a half,
was beyond resuscitation. The acci-
dent was very sad, and the bereaved.
family have deepest sympathy. The
mother of the deceased young man
has been very ill since, and it was
feared that e ha the shockwould o ulc t ro e
v too
P
much for her. The funeral took place
on Tuesday from St. Paul's church.
John Calvin Knox was a quiet young
man, attentive to business, and re-
spected by all. He Iacked four days
of reaching his nineteenth birthday,
The Wroxeter Drowning,
The other accident occurred near
Day's bridge over the Maitland, a
short distance out of Wroxeter. Two
sons of Mr. and Mrs. Wm, Casemore
had been out wheeling, and coining to
the river at this point, where there is
a bathing place, decided to have a
bath. Joseph Casemore went in first,
and was seen by his brother to be in
difficulty, and soon sank, It is re-
ported that neither of them could
swim very well, and it is thought that
Joseph
was seized with cramps as soon
as he entered the water. Ilia brother
could not reach him with a pole, and
so he dressed as quickly as possible
and wheeled into Wroxeter for help,
The body was recovered by Harry
Brawn of that village, after it had
been in the water some time, and
medical aid secured, but the life spark
had fled. The deceased young man
was well thought of, and his parents
are nearly heart -broken by the acci-
dent that so suddenly deprived them
of a eon just verging into manhood.
The young man was about nineteen
years of age. The funeral was largely
attended, evidencing the sincere sym-
pathy felt by the community with the
bereaved family,

Removed To Chestey.
Rev. F. B. Powell (son of T, K.
Powell of Turnberry) has been trans-
ferred by the Bishop of Huron from
Granton to Chesley, to which parish
ho was invited. The Granton cor-
respondent of the London Free Press
says :—" During his incumbency here
he has been instant in season and out
of season, a, faithful shepherd, careful
of the feeble and the aged, and an ex-
cellent preacher, thoughtful and elo-
quent. His friends outside of his
own communion are legion. His text
on the occasion of his farewell service
was appropriately chosen from Num-
bers vi, 24-26, and doubtless expressed
the sentimenthis
of for
him as well as his for them. In the
evening he preached to the brethren
of the L. 0. L. While the removal of
the Rev, gentleman from Granton is a
distinct loss to the community, the
parish of Chesley is to be congratulat-
ed upon having secured his services,
and he will be followed with the good
wishes of a host of friends who will
ever be -pleased to learn of his sues
cess."

Sudden Death.
A very sudden death was reported
on Monday from Walton to Coroner
J, P. Kennedy of Wingham, On
making enquiry, Dr. Kennedy was
satisfied that death resulted from
natural causes and decided that no in-
quest was necessary. At time of
writing, we have not learned the
name of the man.

ham,
Palmerston vs. Wingham.
A baseball match will be played on
the Town Park, Wingham, on Thurs.
day, 25th, that promises to be lively,
The contesting teams will be Palmer-
ston and Wingham, and as neither of
the teams have been defeated in a
League game this year, it looks like
an interesting game between prospec-
tive
rospecttive champions. Watch for posters
announcing particulars.
Wingham Civic Holiday.
Mayor Holmes has proclaimed
Thursday, August 1st, as a Civic holi-
day for the Town of Wingham, and
calls upon all to loyally observe it as
such. That day has been chosen for
the Union Sunday School excursion to
Kincardine, and there will be a gen-
eral exodus from town. One train
will start from Wingham ; the other
from Mitchell, gathering passengers
at intervening stations. This excur-
sion has always proven very attrac-
tive. Wingham's excellent Band will
accompany the excursionists.
Lacrosse Matches.
Wingham Lacrosse team crossed
sticks with Goderich team, on the
Park in Wingham, on Wednesday of
last week, The game was well con-
tested, but rather rough, as lacrosse is
very apt to be. The victory came to
Wingham by a score of 5-2. Wing -
ham boys have had very little practice
this year, but feel encouraged to hope
they may defeat the Goderich team
on their own grounds. Our team also
played in Arthur with the Elora team
as part of July 12th program, but al-
lowed Elora to win, The score is not
spoken from the housetops.
WE'LL MEND 'Eur. --If your Shoes
need a neat patch, half sole, or want
repairing in any way, bring them here
to be mended.—W. J. Greer,
Wild Runaway.
On Monday, Charles Campbell of
Marnoch, was at Dr. Kennedy's office,
and as his horse was somewhat res-
tive, he took the precaution of tying
him in Dr. Kennedy's yard. In a few
minutes, a crash was heard ; the horse
had broken loose, and soon got away
from a wrecked buggy. Then the
animal fell, but regaining his feet tore
down main street. At the Bank of
Hamilton he took to the sidewalk, and
when in front of Hotel Brunswick fell
heavily on his side. The rate at
which lie was going carried him on
his side past three shops. At Gracey's
furniture store, he got up and near
Mr, Manners' shop fell again. Once
more he got on his feet and ran up
Victoria St. Those who saw the
animal fall felt sure he was killed, but
the owner secured another buggy and
drove home.
According To Hicks,
Prof. Hicks, writing on the weather
for July says of the latter part of the
month :—"We fear that the rainfall
at this and other central and late July
storm periods will be scattering and
light. Very black and blustering
storm clouds will almost certainly ap-
pear at the culmination of storm
periods, and phenomenal "water
spouts" may occur here and there ;
but the general rainfall will be far be-
low the actual needs of the season.
The 20th to 22nd will be culminating
storm days, following which look for
rising barometer and change to seine
cooler. Within forty-eight hours of
sunset on the 24th many storms and
marked earthquake disturbances will
be heard from in many parts of the
earth, so that a maximum of such
phenomena may be noted. The tem•
perature will fall after these storms.
The last r sto��u
�eriod of is p July
q cert-
tral on the 31st and extends from the
20th, two days into August. Change
to much warmer and gathering thun-
der storms will begin in the west by
the 20th, and during the four days
following these conditions will pass
eastwardly across the country.

Not To Owen Sound.
Owen Sound papers report that
there is no room to Expect anything
further to be done regarding the erec-
tion of the Bell furniture factory in
that towp, Owen Sound appears to
be disappointed, and is looking around
for another furniture proposition.
Those interested in the proposed Bell
Co, have the option of withdrawing
from the agreement with the town,
by paying the costs of submitting the
By-law, which of course, they will do.
In the meantime, more attractive pro-
posals are before the Co., than that
offered by Owen Sound.
A Lakeside Picnic.
On Thursday last Mr, W. II. Green
took his Sunday School class to Pine
Point Lighthouse, a beautiful resort
on the shore of Lake Huron, a few
miles south of Kincardine, to picnic
on the lake shore and enjoy the cool
breezes of the lake. Although the
weather was not very favorable, the
day was well spent in boating, fishing,
exploring, etc. Every member of the
class appreciated the kindness of their
teacher, and felt grateful to Mr. Green
and his family for their unselfish
efforts to give them an enjoyable out-
ing, which was thoroughly enjoyed.
Local Option Campaign.
What looks like a Local Option
campaign was commenced recently in
Wingham. On Sunday, July 7th, Mr.
John Buchanan, of the Dominion Alli-
ance, preached in the Presbyterian
church in the morning and in the
Methodist church in the evening. On
Thursday of this week a public meet-
ing will be held in the Town Hall to
discuss the matter. The speakers an-
nounced are—Rev, Dr. Pidgeon, Pres-
byterian minister, of Toronto Junc-
tion, and John Buchanan of Toronto.
Dr. Pidgeon is said to be an excellent
speaker, and well prepared on the
subject,
They are, I understand, giving great
"Snaps" at D, M. Gordons just now,
in Gem -Jars, Granulated Sugar, Rais-
ins and Currants, fine Cooking Figs (8
lbs. for 25c) and all lines of Canned
Goods.
Entrance Exam. Results,
On pages of this issue will be found
the results of the recent Entrance ex-
amination. The Advance is pleased
to note that in Honors, Wingham, as
a centre, has the lead of the whole
county. Our Public School has taken
a most creditable stand, The total
marks obtainable were 650 ; for Pass,
390 were required, To obtain honors,
487 were necessary. Wingham Public
School sent thirty candidates. All of
these passed, and twenty out of the
thirty obtained Honors. This is a
most excellent record, exceedingly
creditable to Principal Musgrove and
his pupils, Lillian, daughter of Mr.
Alex. Ross of town, took the highest
marks at Wingham centre, receiving
580 out of a possible 650.
Matrimonial Event.
A quiet but pretty event took place
at the home of Mrs.. A. McKellar at
Poplar Hill, on Wednesday, July 10th,
at high noon, when her daughter,
Mary, was united in marriage to Mr.
F. W. Ansley, of Syracuse, N. Y.,
formerly of Wingham. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Mr.
Ross, of London, and was witnessed
by the immediate friends of the con-
tracting parties. The bride and
groom were the recipients of many
valuable tokens of esteem. Mr. F.
W. Ansley and bride spent a few
days with the groom's parents in
town, where a reception was tendered
them on Friday evening. After a
short honey -moon trip through east-
ern Ontario, they will reside in Syra-
cuse, N. V., where Mr. Ansley has a
fine position with the Franklin Auto-
mobile Co. The Advance tenders
congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. John
Ansley, Miss Laura and Wesley of
Wingham, g were present at the wed-
ding.
Fan SALE.—A cottage, No. 73, Dia-
gonal street ; it has seven rooins,

Thought It Strange.
On July 12th, when No. 701 was
marching to the station, the editor of
this paper had for walking partner
Councillor Nicholson. This seems to
have been quite a joke for some, and
they remarked something about "the
worst Grit and the worst Tory," and
whispered something about "the lion
and the lamb" and the near approach
of the millenium. The "lamb" refer-
ence was ail right, for the two who
walked v. k d together are known to possess
quiet, peaceable, lamb -like disposi-
tions. We fail, however, to see where
the "lion" business comes in, We are
are sure it wasn't (bun. Nicholson, a
good, quiet citizen, and we are equally
positive it wasn't the editor, for he
never devoured any person, Some of
the onlookers, however, had a laugh,
and it was all right; we like to see
people enjoying themselves, and Conn.
Nicholson enjoyed himself too. Be-
cause people differ in political matters
that is no reason they should not ex-
change the amenities of social life,
and, as citizens of the same town, be
on friendly terms.

Mars Nearer.
On Saturday night the Planet Mars,
the very bright, red star which is
visible in the southern
skyevery
y
evening,
was nearer to the earth than
it huts been for 13 years, and nearer
than it will be again until about the
1022. And yet the planet was
year
not so near that we could communi-
Bate with its inhabitants (if such there
are) for it was still thirty-eight mil-
lions of miles from us, It may yet
