This week will see the completion the new building of the Oanadi Bank of Commerce in W1ngham, possibly by the end of the week, M tiger A. E. Smith and his staff w have removed to their new grouters The building, Which is of the 10 style of Colonial arehitecture, presen a fine and well-proportioned appe ance from the street. It has a frot "go of 30 feet, 0 inches, and it depth 33 feet, 3 inches, and the foundation solidly built. The front follows t usual style adopted by the Ban The first course Above the level is Indiana cat stone; then follow ti coorses of Roman stone, reaching the window sills. Upon these cours of stone rest four corrugated pinto also of Roman stern*, giving the fro a very fine and massive a pearanc and is suggestive of the solidity of ti institution represented by the buil ing. On entering the building and pas ing through the vestibule, a door t the left opens into the manager's pr vate office, well lighted and comfor able, with open fireplace and mante The public office is roomy, and wel lighted. The rooms downstairs ar finished with burlap. wainscotting, and above that, calsommine on stnceo finish, The woodwork is of the finest Antwerp oak, The counters, desks, etc., are also of the imported. oak, well finished. Behind the business room is the vault, of up-to.date construc- tion, fireproof and burglar proof. To return to the entrance; to the right as yeti enter, is a small hall con- taining the stairway. Here is a standpipe, famished with Town water, and hose,ready for use in case of lire. The stairway and hall are al- so finished in burlap wainscot and stucco. The upstairs finished in plas- ter, and is roomy and convenient. In the front, will be found a fine cheerful sitting -room, with open fleeplace. There are also three bedrooms, and through the floor of one of these may be seen a slanting hole lined with tin. The Casual observer may wonder why the floor is thus spoiled. That bole means safety, for it points into the vault, in direct line with the combin- ation of the safe, and swift would be the fate of any burglar tainpering with the safe, for from that room above, the clerks who occupy • these rooms, have a sure and unerying aim. .• Of. easy access from the becleooms, is the bathroom fitted up in latest style, with bath, (hot and cold water) lava- tory and closet. The building- is heated with- one of the largest Gurney furnaces, with the new miler registers, upstairs and downstairs: In fact, for safety, con- venience and comfort, every item seems to have been considered in the construction of this up-to-date build- ing. The speedy erection of the building during the winter season is worthy of note. The contractor for the work was the Provincial Construction Co., Limited, Toronto. Mr. 0. A. Betts, superintendent of construction, was constantly on the ground, watching carefully every detail of the work. From the cement foundation of the cellar walls, to the cement coping, all has been done Well, and the result is a building that is a credit to the build- ers, The excavation for the cellar was commenced October 21st, and by Wednesday of this week (Jan. 20) Mr. Betts, expects to have completed the work, so that in three months of win- ter weather, the work was com- pleted. The erection of this building for the Canadian Bank of Commerce evi- ' dences the fact that this strong monetary institution has faith in the Town of Wingham. Hence they deem it wise to erect a building, which (with the land) cost about $12,- 000, wherein to transact their busi- ness.Such a building indicates per- manence. of an 111 nd an- ts ar- 11- of is 118 k. of vo to es .8, nt V.

Scene. • According to press reports, Gode- rich hockey team has some players who should be ruled off ancl sent to Zululand, or some other land of bar- barians. A match played in Clinton with the team of that town on Friday is thus described in a report to the London Free Press :— "The score was nearly even as the game drew near its end, when Gode- rich tied the score. At this point re- feree'ruled Wiggins, of Goderich, off for foul play, to which Wiggins ob- jected and started to abuse the re- feree, and was backed by the crowd from Goderich, and a free fight follow- ed, in which Chief of Police Wheatly was badly cut on the head by a hockey stick in the hands of one of the Gode- rich men, and many blows Were ex- changed by the special officers and others. Referee R. EaSson, of Strat- ford, declared the game off, as the ice could not be cleared and the matter will be referred to the O. 11. A. Copp of Clinton was seriously injured in the first half of the game, and Bert John- son also received it nasty cut in the head:" Tt is reported that a government. de- tective has the matter in hand and that Obief liVheatly's inlaries are serious. It is only about it year ago, a sraineg roan in Eastern Canada was Iiilled in a hooky game and if such SPeries as above described are allowed to prevail, there will be more deaths reeorded.

LOCAL OPTION NOTES.. By tho Loom option Literature Committee. It is claimed by tliose opposed to Local Option, among them being licensed hotel men, that more liquor is sold after the law has been passed, than before. Why are they so anx- ious to pay a high license, if they can sell more liquor without it. Local Option has been adopted this month in 31 Ontario municipalities. A repeal of Local Option was possi- ble at the late elections in 53 places in Ontario, through the expiration of the three-year term, yet in only was it attempted, and the repeal sustained in but one. If after a three-year trial of the Local Option law, 52 out of 53 munici- palities are satisfied with it, is it not convincing evidence that the measure is a good one. What is good for other places, after a thorough trial, would surely be good for Wingham. Mr. John Campbell's hotel at White- church, in the Local Option township of East Wawanosh, was raided on Wednesday evening of last week by Provtncial Constable Phippen. A, ten gallon keg, partly foil of whiskey, was found, together with other convicting evidence of the sale of liquor. The liquor was not found in the house, but In the pig pen in the stable.

In a fast and exciting game of hockey played on the local rink on Wednesday evening of last week, the Harrigan Bronchos were defeated by the %S91 ham team, the score being 1 to 3. At no time during the game had Harriston a teed, but they tied the score at cline, two and three goals. NVith only one half minute to play Ti3d Elliott scored for the home team, and thus ended the game, the final score being 4 to 3. For the liar- riston team Dixon in goal proved his worth, while McDowell And Charlie %Vara started on the forward line. For Wingham, Dooley Britton in gnat stopped many shots, some of them with scoring steain on tliern, while Johnston at, cover was the best on the ice. Elliott, the diminutive right wing of the locals, was the best of the forwards. Hern of Stratford refereed to the entire satisfaction of players and spectators. .A. large orderly crowd witnessed the game, and the Band eulivened proceedings by its ex- cellent selections.

It was shown that some of the brightest and best lives are to be found in the humblest positions, and high positions are not always neces- sary for great usefulness and christian influence. In the evening, the sermon was devoted to Business Men, their difficulties, and needs. That men are intended for business, he reasoned from the possession of business facul- ties. But men were intended to be religious, and this was shown by trac- ing the religious instinct back to pre- historic times. Because a man is religious does not ensure his success in busioess, for he may be deficient in business faculties. Mr. Howson clos- ed his address;with an earnest appeal Lo young inen to keep their record clean. Business men and corpora- tions to -day ere on the look-ont for young men of dean record.

The annual report of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church for 1007 is in the hands of the congregation, and shows the finances to be very satisfactory. The envelope, plate and anniversary collections were C2,005.11. ; Sunday School, $193,90; Ch yell Schemes, $500,90 ; W. M. S., $102,85; West- minster Guild, $263,07; Ladies' Aid, $221,80; other sources of income brought the total up to $4495.07. Of this $1102.13 WAS for missionary, edu- cational and benevolences. During the year 44 members were added, 25 by certificate, and 10 by profession of faith; 32 have left the bounds of the the congregation, and. five have died. The present membership is 420. The amount contributed for Schemes of the Church was $500.00. Those who passed away were—Mrs. J. Ward, Jas. Cochrane; W. H. Campbell, Mrs. Lit- tle and Mrs. Orowstori. The passing of the years does not seem to diminish the effective. pulpit ministrations of Rev. D. Perm, and St. Andrew's ap- pears to be in it prosperous condition in all its departments. A Landslide. A landslide occurred on Sunday, on the Guelph and Goderich railway near Goderieh. It covered. the track so deep, that it strong force of men work- ed all Sunday night cutting a passage sixty feet long through the hundreds of tons of clay that had slidden down the bank, and covered the track many feet deep. For The Students. The Westminster Guild of St. An- drew's Church were "At Home" on Monday evening to the teachers and students of the High School and Busi- ness College. The school -room of the church was nicely decorated with the school and college colors. A short address of welcome was given by Rev. D. Perrie, followed by an interesting program and refreshments. The sing- ing of the National Anthem brought a very pleasant evening to a close. The Peterborough Examiner says: "The Peterborough Business CbIlege, which was so successfully carried on by the late Mr. Wm. Pringle, has been purchased by Mr. Geo. Spotton of Wingham, who is recognized in Wes- tern Ontario as one of the finest ex- ponents of commercial training. Mr, Spotton is the principal of business colleges in Wingham, Clinton, Walk- erton, Oyangeville and Goderich, and his schools are noted. for the large O mnbers of successful bookkeepers, stenographers and telegraphers they have turned out." Theatorium Closed. Tuesday morning revealed the fact that the institution bearing the high- sounding name of "The Imperial Theft - tortoni" had ceased to be, at least so far as Wingham is concerned. In- stead of. the brilliant light, there will now be darkness; instead of it crowd- ed room, empty space; instead of melodious sounds of song and piano, silence reigns supreme. It was a heavy drain on the children's nickels (and others than children too) and an expensive affair. to run. it is quite possible that the returns were not sufficient to encourage permanence. Shorthorn Cattle Sale, Mr. Russell Reid, the proprietor of Clover Lea Shorthorn Stock Farm, near Kincardine, announces a sale of purebred Shorthorn bnlls and heifers to take place on Feb. 14th.. The. ani- mals put up will positively be sold without reserve. . This sale will doubt- less bring together many of the lead: ing Shorthorn breeders and cattlemen of Ontario as Mr. Reid's stock have. a provincial reputation. His fine farm and buildings are the best equipped in this part of the province and are well lvorth a visit from our progressive farmers. Dr. Nelson Tait of 498 Spadina Ave., Toronto, will be at the Queen's Hotel, Wingbain, on Thursday, Feb'y, 13th, from 8 a.m. till 10 p.m.,_ for consulta- tion in diseases of Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat.

As our own forindry will install the furnace, all the proceeds will remain in town. The cause is a good one, and everyone should patronize this entertainment. Popular prices will prevail -15, 10 and 5 cents. Wit for it. Preventative Medicine. " On Monday .evening, Dr. .1. 1'. Ken nedy gave an interesting and instruc Live address to the Epworth League in the Methodist church, on "Peeven tative Medicine." He outlined briefly the evolution of treatment in disease, and the inauguration in recent times of :scientific methods of prevention. He pointed out that the marvellous discoveries made in regard to the causes of disease within the last 10 or 20 years, has enabled physicians to lay CARD OP THANKS. , down certain very definite rules and regulations, and to cctrry out certain definite procedures, which eliminate 111)11 p it. smelt( o certain di- seases, and showed the expediency of co-operation on the part of the public in combatting infectious diseases. The importance of this matter to the pub - lie, rather than to the medical profes- sion, was emphasized. Illustrations of the progress in proventatiee niedi- dine were given, as for instance, the decrease in the mortality of diphtheria C. N. GRIFFIN, since the introduction of Antitoxin. He showed that the mortality of tide disease had decreased from over 40% CANADIAN' POULTRY REVIEW. to less than 7%. Antitoxin is it veri- table triumph of modern scien tine medicihe. He gave a, very optimistie foretast of the possibilities of preven- tion and cure In hereditarily predis- posed eases of triberculosie, and spoke of the necessity of establishing Ily- glenie Institetes rind .Lithorittories of medical research for selentifie vesti- gation along the line of preventative medicine, The feet Was %neatened that Germany and Japan are leading the way in the scientific. prevention of disease.

But not discouraged (though wishing things were otherwise) we turn up our overcoat collar, bravely seize the snow shovel and tackle the biggest snow drifts that the winter has piled up around our domicile, and that with an ice-cold bla„st that would chill the heart of a two -ton boulder. Magistrate's Court. Police lagistrate Morton held a couple of sittings in Court during the week. R. 3, Breen of Turnberry was the complainant against George, Dave and Samuel Marshall. The charge against the first was assault and bat- tery, against the other two, disorderly conduct. Two dollars and costs against each was recorded, and. should prove a salutary warning.. Chief Al- len was the complainant in the case of Wm. Aitcheson, who was charged with the theft of some wood. The following fa,cts,came out in the trial— that he had a sick child, the house was too cold the doctor said, and the defendant took some wood from a pile belonging to F. G. Sparling, for whom he •had been working, and did not think it stealing. The latter admitted he owed the defendant a trifle. The magistrate considered that this ease appeared to lack the element consti- toting stealing, and discharged the accused, after warning him that under other circumstances, a repetition of the offence would bring punishment. •WA.NTED.-1000 Rat Skins, and all other kinds Raw Furs.—G, iii.
