MOH SCHOOL NOTES.
Wanted To Die.
The Clinton New Era reports :—
Thos. Wall, an inmate of the House of
Refuge, is evidently determined to end
his life, if possible. Two weeks ago,
before being brougbt here, he made
an unsuccessful attempt to drown
himself in Ashfleld. On Monday last
he attempted to choke himself to
death by his throat with his hands,
but was discovered in time to prevent
him accomplishing his purpose, He
was brought before P. M. Andrews,
who committed him to Goderich.jail,
on. the ground of attempted. self-de-
struction.
J. E. McIntosh, the now Jeweler,
will be ready for business next week.
Cal in and see hint. All are welcome.

Visit Deferred.
It was expected that •Dr. Hodgetts
of the Provincial Board of Health
would visit Wingham and advise as to
the best source for domestic water,
and best means of sewage disposal.
He now thinks it would be best to
deferhis visit until engineer's plans
have been obtained. The season is
advancing, and if the work is to be
done this year, action will require to
be taken soon. Mayor Gregory and
Conn. Elliott were in Clinton on Mon-
day looking into the supply of water
there from artesian wells, but found
the water very low, and notwithin
one hundred feet of the surface. The
Council intends giving the matter full
consideration, and not acting hastily.
When a system for domestic purposes
is installed, it must be a success.
BY H. S. REPORTER.

Reid, F. Howson and 4. Stackhouse,

WING Ui, ONT, THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1909,
Recognized Their Efficiency,
In recognizing the prornptness and
efficiency of the Fire Company's -work
at the recent Ore in the Gregory block,
Mr, Gregory entertained the brigade
to an oyster supper at Moore's restau-
rant, Wingham has an active Com-
pany, prompt to respond, to duy 's
call, day or night.
Social Evening,
Several of the organized Bible class-
es of the Methodist Sunday School,
spent a very pleasant evening on Tues-
day at a re -union in the lecture room
of the church. A report of the recent
convention in Toronto was given, and
a good program rendered. Refresh-
ments were served, and much amuse-
ment resulted from the spelling match.
The hours passed very pleasantly.
A. Y. P. A. Meeting,
At the • A. Y. P. A. meeting on
Monday evening, T. E, Robinson gave
a very interesting paper on "The
Catholic Reformation," and Clifford
Pugh gave a short address on "The
relation of fine arts to the Church
in the Renaissance." Both young
mon are students of Wingham High
School, and their efforts were appre-
ciated and a vote of thanks tendered'
them.
Recovering From Accident.
Friends of. Mr. Wm.. Dixon of
Algozna (formerly of Wingham) will
be pleased to hear that he is, recover-
ing nicely froman accident that hap-
pened to him in January. In com-
pany with his father-in-law, Mr. Page,
he was felling a tree, when a limb fell,
striking Will, on the head and frac-
turing bis skull. The Advance is
pleased to hear from his sister, Mrs.
A. E. Lloyd, that he is able to work
again.
Grocery Business Sold.
Mr. Lamonby has sold his grocery
business and property on Josephine
street, to Mr. David Rush, from whom
he purchased it, a few years ago. Mr.
Lamonby does 'not intend to leave
town, at least not at present. Mr.
Rush took possession on Tuesday of
last week. Mr. Rush moved to Toron-
to after disposing of the business to
Mr. L' monby, but for some time has
been back in the old town, and now is
once more in the old stand. Wing -
ham is a good place to stay in ; they
all like it.
Another Bill. '
E. N. Lewis of West Huron does not
pose as a brilliant platform orator,
but he is a worker, and a good repre-
sentative. He has introduced a Bill
providing for the application of the
indeterminate sentence to a certain
class of offenders. It would be a pow-
erful incentive to young offenders to-
wards reform .and merits every sup-
port. It is on line with modern senti-
ment regarding reformatory methods,
and would no doubt do in this coun-
try, as it has done elsewhere, much
towards reclaiming many youthful
(genders against the law. Mr. Lewis
bas another suggestion and proposes
a change in the law to provide that
prisoners under sentence of death
shall be confined In the nearest pent-
tentiary between elate of sentence and
time of execiltiou. Mr. Lewis thinks
by this means the morbid interest in
the tragedy would be abated.

The leading feature of the Literary

that the Indians have been unfairly
treated." The debaters on the affirm-
ative were Misses G. Kennedy and
F. Price, and the negative, Misses
J. Bowman and 0. Currie. The af-
firmative were declared the winners.
The High School hockey team met
the juniors of town in a friendly game

the match are very hard to obtain.

Be On The Alert.
Now is the time our Town Council
should be_on the alert for now Indus.
tries, There are buildings available'in
town suitable for such purposes.
Take for instance, the large brick
three-story building on the corner of
si
Jo
Josephine and Victoria streets t • e s, ti} a
could be purchased at a reasonable
price no doubt, and is large enough
for an industry employing seventy-
five or one hundred. hands. We are
not finding fault with our Town
Council ; we believe they will do their
best, But we suggest they not only
attend to the routine business that
comes before them, but that they be
aggressive, and be on the alert for
some new indusery, that would infuse
new life into our Town. That such
opportunities occur, we have only to
point to the regent arrangement of
the Taylor -Anderson Co. to remove
from Lacknow to Seaforth. •

The funeral of Miss Ella Mabel Mul-
vey took place on Friday last, Rev.
W, G. Howson conducting the service,
assisted by Rev. W. E. Kerr of Clin-
ton. The floral tributes were most
beautiful, Among theist were, a blan-
ket of roses from the young people of
Calvary Presbyterian Church, Chica-
go; a floral pillar from the employees
of the firm of F. B. Cummins, New
York, and a bouquet from Mr, Cum-
mins ; a pillow from the family ; a
wreath from Wingham Epworth
League; a wreath of Calla lilies from
Mr. Chilton of Chicago, and numerous
tokens from lady friends in Chicago.
It required eleven largo hoses to hold
the flowers from Chicago alone, all
evidences of 'esteem and affection.
The friends from a distance were—Mr.
and Mrs. W. H. Mulvey, Mr. Daley
and Mr. Chilton, all of Chicago ; Mr.
Watson of Moosejaw ; Rev. W. E.
Kerr of Clinton, a former pastor of
the deceased. The bearers were Mes-
srs. W. Lucas, W. T. Hall, L. Awde,
F. Howson,. W. Cornell of Wingham,
and Mr. Watson. As we remarked
last week, -this is the first break in
Mr. and Mrs. Mulvey's Iarge family,
although they have been n',arried over
fifty years. Hence the experience is
all the more trying.

A Large Sow.
Robt. Anderson, Turnberry, brought
in a vory large sow on Monday, and
there was some guessing as to its
weight. Some said 700 lbs„ others,
000. Robt. himself thought it ought
to go over 600. The editor of this pa-
per put the weight at 575 lbs. The
scales settled it at 585, so our guess
was the nearest. Well, we have bad
to size up a few hogs in our many
years of experience in thernewspaper
business. The sow brought $32, or
about the price of a cow a few years
ago,
A Forward Movement.
In closing an address to the Cana-
dian Club in Guelph recently, Deputy -
Minister James said—"Keep your eye
on the farmer ; he is going to grow
during the next ten years. You had
better try and realizethat a revolu-
tion has taken place in farthing ; he
has revolutionized himself, and with
electric lines running past his gate,
the telephone in his house, such a,
change has come over the agricultur-
ist that you can no longer use the
term "hayseed" to him. All this
means a great deal to you city peo-
ple.”

Last Half Of March,
Not =eh pleasant weather is pre-
dicted for this month. On March 15,
10, 17 we shall enter the Venus period.;
this with the influence of Afars, and
the approach of the Earth's equinox
will lead to storms. These storms,
whether of wiud,.snow, rain and thun-
der, will depend on which of the three
influences mentioned, is the strongest.
Hicks is inclined to believe that snow
and,cold will prevail, and adds—"we
believe that the Mars influence will
set a winter pace that will mark the
weather far into April." Meech 21st
will be the Earth's 'vernal equinox. A.
phonomenelly low barometer, great
humidity and high temperature will
be a warning of violent storms, any-
where froth Friday*, loth, to Tuesday,
23rd, notably on Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, 21st, 23nd and 23rd. In all
probability this period -will first bring
storms Of'vioious Venus lightning and
thunder, high winda and possible tor-
nadoes to the southward, all followed
by furious gales from the northwest,
With blockading blzz•trds and drifts

gi
of snow. On account of the prevail-
ing perloda of Venus, Earth and Mars,
there will ba constant tendency to
storms and unsettled'• weather all
through this part of March. But the
barometer will slloty decided storm
conditions about 27th to 20th, and
storms of rain, turning to snow in
northern parts, will mareh eastward
