A Cat Story.
The WViarton Canadian says ;-The
engineers at the pumping house aro
sad, They had three nice cats previ-
ous to the election—two Grits and one
Tory. Immediately Ross was defeated
one died—that was the Clear Grit.
Next day the Independent kicked the
bucket In sympathy with his chum.
And then Engineer Sinclair knocked
the black Tory in the head for re-
venge, and the pump house is now
catless. Queer how things turn out,
anyway.
Good Advice.
The best advice that can be given to
a young man who is trying to make a
mark for himself in business is : "Stay
out of saloons." Let this rule of life
bo absolute. Do not compromise with
the saloon. Taste not, touch not,
enter not into temptation. Make this
one of the leading principles of your
business life and the chances are good
that yon will be a success in any task
you undertake. On the other hand,
if you neglect this advice, if you waive
it aside as the prejudice of a crank,
you will fail in everything as certain-
ly as the sun shines in the sky.
Transplanting Trees.
The Garden Magazine says :—"Feb -
wry
"Feb-
ruary is an excellent month for trans-
planting flowering trees and shrubs
f the woods into home grounds.
especially if the January thaw has
ared the .ground and the air thrills
with the promise of spring. Tho trees
are dormant, their roots packed tight
n frozen earth. It is harder digging,
but you get a better ball of roots."
This iters may be true, but just now
ve have plenty of exercise digging
ubways through February' snowdrifts
everal feet deep to reach a public
thoroughfare and have no desire to
wade through snow to our neck to
each the woods, and then delve
through two or three feet of frozen
• arth, merely to get a shrnb.
Butter prices in New " York last

however, to check consumption.

Anniversary.

Rev. Dr. Gundy preaching in the
morning and the pastor in the even-
ing. On Monday evening a musical
entertainment me was vas
held. Thos. J.
Scott (formerly of Wingham) render-
ed a number of Scotch songs and re-
citations which were well received.
Miss Griffin sang several selections
with good effect and in her usual good
style. Miss Brock's recitations are al-
ways popular and her rendering ou
Monday evening was in excellent
forth. Rev. W. Lowe made an excel-
lent chairntan, and in the course of
his address gave excellent advice. He
expressed great pleasure at the frater-
nal feeling existing among the
churches of Wingham. Rev. Dr.
Gundy spoke interestingly on Mission-
ary lines. The Baptist congregation
now has the very neat place of wor-
ship free of debt, and appears to be
prospering under the pastoral care of
Mr. McLean. Mrs. G. C. Hanna was
accompanist for the evening. The at-
tendance should have been much
larger than it was.
Bachelors' Tax.
The Mitchell Advocate says
sessment laws even the plainest of
then—are enigmas to the average
citizen, and, of course, the present law
is no exception to the rule. Every-
body understands a portion of it, but
very few. people know as much of it
as they should. Consequently while
the bachelors of this fair Provinee
were basking in the sunshine of single
blessedness, the married legislators of
this countey with malice afore-
thought, prompted, perhaps, by the
ladies, actually placed a law on the
statute books of Canada which snakes
it. unwholesome from a financial
standpoint for a man to remain a
bachelor it Ontario. According to
the law if a man Is a householder his
salary up to $1,000 is exempt from
taxation, but if he is not a house-
holder only $400 is exempt. A house-
holder does not nnean the owner of a
house ---it paeans a ratan whto Maintains
a. house --or at least makes a bluff at
it—is assessable for all over $400 per
anntun. The moral then is, keep
house If yon wish to take advantage
of the $1,000 exemption. If you don't, !
you Will be sop.ked With the bachelor's
taxa
WINGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY
A Telephone Item.
Ald, Andrews of Brantford, in the
initial number of the Canadian Muni-
cipal Journal, gives some striking fig-
uses relative to the development of
the telephone, In Canada Mone,he
says, over two and a half million dol-
lars was spent last year in "long
distance" conversations over the
phone, and in the United States five
billion messages were carried between
distant points in 1002. The little city
of Brantford alone pays $0,00() a year
for telephone conversation with other
points.

May Raise Rates.
Thu Mitchell Advocate remarks --A
leading topic in insurance and lodge
circles here is the lively time predict-
ed at the approaching meeting of the
A. O. U. W. Grand Lodge. Since the
rates were raised two years' ago there
has been a decrease in membership of
over 2,500. It transpires that the
Supreme officers held a special con-
ference last fall• and it was then
agreed that a further increase in the
rate of the assessment was imperative.
The question was submitted to the
subordinate lodges, which have as-
sented to the increase. A lively
battle is looked for over the question
of whether the new scale shall go into
effect immediately or not until a year
hence.
Home Wedding.
• On Wednesday, Feb. 15th, a quiet
but pretty wedding took place at the,
home of Mr. and Mrs. Wut. Wray,
Belgrave, when their eldest daughter,
Dora Buchanan, was united in mar-
riage to Mr. J. A. Brandon of East
Wawanosh, a gentleman well known
and highly respected in this neighbor-
hood. At six p. m., the bride, taste-
fully attired in a gown of navy blue
silk, entered the neatly decorated par-
lor, on the arm of her father, to the
strains of Lohengrin wedding march,
played by Mrs. Jones. The ceremony
was performed. by Rev. A. E. Jones,
pastor of the Belgrave Methodist
Church. After congratulations had
been extended, and a sumptuous re-
past partaken of, the bride and groom
left for their home in the enjoyment
of the good wishes of their many
friends. The Advance extends con-
gratulations.
Travellers' Tales.
A number of commercial travellers
were storm -bound in Wingham, and
one of them gave the following to the
Toronto World, as toable
how ho was
to get to Toronto. Of course it is all
true ; a commercial traveller wouldn't
exaggerate :—" Eight or nine of us
were kicking our heels in chagrin in
Wingham Saturday night when one
of the number hit on a bright idea. A
few minutes later a 'wire' was sent to
C. P: R. officials in Toronto that 'Rev.
Dr. Briggs and twenty of his follow-
ers' were delayed in Winghatn ; could
not a special car be sent down from
Teeswater to. bring thein through to
Toronto for Snnday ? The ruse work-
ed like a charm. If we hadn't worked
it that way we were going to try and
drive through to Stratford. When a
snow -plow came into Wingham on
Friday we offered to join the gang
with shovels and work for our passage
faras
as Orangeville, the
but foreman
wouldn't take us. One traveller who
started to drive to Brussels left three
trunks at the hotel, lost two in the
snow -drifts on the road, left two in a
farmer's barn, and got to his destina-
tion with two of his original nine.
"I never saw it snow and blotv like it
did in Wingham on Friday," said an-
other. "The wind blew a team of
horses into a ditch ; they couldn't
make their way against it."
Storm Bound.
Otto of the amusing incidents of last
week' storm was the trip of Rev. Dr.
Briggs, of the Methodist Book Room,
Toronto. He had been at Kincardine
the previous Sunday, and drove by de-
grees to Wingham, and then succeed-
ed in getting a train from there to To-
ronto at 2 a. In. •Sunday morning, in
response to an urgent telegram to get
back quickly. The doctor is quite
witty and took his adventure good-na-
turedly. At Kineardine he fitted him-
self out in a pair of luntberman's socks
(blue). When asked why he wore so
pronounced a color, he said in memory
of the trip, for he intended having
them hung up in his study. At Rip-
ley, Rev. L Hosking secured n team
and drove hint to Lucknow, where
they were obliged to secure fresh
Horses. Dr. Briggs says that Luck-
now turned out to see the two fools
starting out itt the storm for Wing -
ham, but they believed in the perse-
verance of the saints, and so they set
forth. They encountered one drift
fifteen feet high, and upset, horses,
cutter and occupants rolling over
down the drift. When they got to
the bottent, Dr. Titeggs was hanging
on for dear life to the runner of the
cutter. The doctor cancelled his re-
maining engagetnentt until the "beau-
tfful" disappears, but unless he chan-
ges his mind be will take lois lumber -
men's outfit to Conference in June
next, to show what an Irishman can
endure, anti yet coino through "right
lido salt."

Wingham Wins Again..
In one of the fastest games of the
season, Winghan's fast Hockey Club
won front Lucknow, on Monday even-
ing, the score being 15 to 2. The lar-
gest crowd of the season watched the
game and cheered heartily through-
out. Referee Theobald of Mt, Forest,
refereed the game to the satisfaction
of spectators and players, and his rul-
ings were always just and impartial.
Lucknow team carne over hoping to
win the game, or at least keep down
the score, but they were sadly out-
classed. nor 18 minutes, both teams
struggled hard without a score, but
at hast, Johnston scored for the locals
and soon added another, and in 22
minutes from start of game, the score
stood 5. to 0 in favor of our boys, and
at half time it was 6 to 0 ; Elliott and
Fleming did the rest of the scoring.
In the second half, Galloway landed
first goal; Elliott, Fleming and Gal-
loway scored in fast order, Hippo
scoring five goals out of nine in last
half, while Harrington and Wilson
both made pretty rushes which ended
in a score. Lucknow's defence, which
was supposed to be a stonewall, was
staggered by the lightning passes of
Fleming, Galloway and Elliott, and
only on a lucky lift by Maclntosh, did
they manage to score at all. The
game closed with a score of 15-2 in
favor of Wingham.

Car Overturned,
On Wednesday of last week, the
morning (1. P. R. train from Tees -
water met with an accident ono mile
west of Inglewood station, The train
was in charge of Conductor Carr, of
Toronto, and was hauled by locomo-
tives 200 and 800, Enginentan John-
ston, of Teeswater, being on the head
locomotive. Both locomotives safely
passed over the point at which either
ice on the track or a broken rail threw
the baggage car and the 50 -ton first-
class coach off the track. The train
was just getting up speed after pass-
ing Inglewood Junction. The bag-
gage car left the track, but remained
on its trucks. The coach broke loose
and turned over on its side, and the
35 passengers were . thrown against
each other and against the seats, men,
women and children being piled up in
,confusion. • The injuries were mainly
due to flying scraps of glass. The
escape of all the passengers from the
jumble without serious injury is at-
tributed by railway men to the fact
that the coach was of the heavy hew
50 -ton model. Miss Lizzie Greer,
sister of Councillor Greer of Wing -
ham, was one• of the passengers, but
fortunately escaped without serious
injuries, though several of the pas-
sengers were injured, cut and bruised.
Had the accident happened a few
minutes sooner, the car would have
rolled
down a very steep embank-
ment, and the consequences would
have been serious.
The Grim Reaper's Harvest
Death Of W. T. J. Homuth.
To most of our citizens, the news of
the death of our respected townsman,
W. T. J. Homuth, carne with such
suddenness, that the whole communi-
ty was startled and shocked. Very
few were aware that he was ill, and
when, on Saturday morning, it was
announced that he was dead, there
was s
mcore andd general regret. Es-
pecially to his bereft widow and
fatherless child, his aged parents,
sisters and brother, does the sym-
pathy of the community extend.
And. yet this is one of those sad be-
reavements, where human sympathy
(helpful though it may be) is power-
less to lift the burden of sorrow felt
by sorrow -stricken relatives. Deceas-
ed was 37 years of age, and, was
known and esteemed throughout this
entire section of country, having
grown up from a boy in Wingham,
and having been before the public in
business for many years. He was up-
right in his dealings, popular with all
classes. Will. (as he was familiarly
known) always had a civil, courteous
reception for a customer, a kindly
greeting for everyone, on the street or
in the shop. Of a kindly disposition,
he had hosts of friends, and no one
has an unkind word to stay of him.
He was a good musician, and had
many excellent traits of character.
His death should teach as lesson, that,
though oft repeated, mankind are
slow to learn. It is well for us—
"That the love of God is broader -
Than the treasure of man's mind ;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind" {
A private service was Reich at the resi-
dence at 10 a.m., Tuesday, interment
taking place in Wingham cemetery in
the afternoon. Rev. De. Gundy con-
ducted the service, assisted by Rev's.
Lowe and Burwash. Floral tributes
were nunerons. A beautiful wreath
front the parents to "Our Boy", an-
other beauty front the only brother,
a handsome one from the Curling
club, another from the Citizens' Band;
others front Dr. and Mrs. Kennedy,
Mrs. R. Clegg, Marguerite's Sunday
School class, and others, made the
room fragrant with their aroma. Dr.
W. H. Bowles and Mayor Marshall
Green of Orangeville also Chas.
Homuth, late of South Africa, and A.
Gingrich of Listowel were in attend-
ance at the funeral,
John Fowler.
Last week another pioneer of this
section of country passed off the stage
of action, braving filled out the allotted
time of over four score years, Mr.
.Tolnt Fowler nearly half a century ago
canoe with Itis brother to tills section
of country, then a wilderness. He was
a native of Scotland, and was twice
married. By the first marriage there
were three children, one son is in bush-
ttess now in Teeswater. Proem the
second marriage there were two chil-
dren, Mrs. Miller of Manitoba, and
John, on the homestead. Deceased
was a good neighbor, honest, Indus -
Woos, widely known, esteemed, and
a member of Blnevale Presbyterian
Church. rot several years he hacl
been
at great sufferer from rheuna-
tistn. The fmteral on Saturday was
largely attended, his pastor, Rev.
J. 'Vest, conducting the service. De.
cooled was RI years oil age,
William Abraham. •
The death of Wm. Abraham, uncle
of Mr. Thomas Abraham of town, has
removed another of the landmarks of
the past, pointing back to pioneer
days in Huron county. Deceased was
born in the county of Fermanagh, Ire- _
land, eighty-nine years ago, and was
of a long-lived family, many of them
reaching n
near to
the four score and
ten mark. He emigrated to Canada
fifty-seven years ago, and came to
East Wawanosh about the year 1855—
half a century ago. By hard work he
made a home for his family in the new
township. He was a member of the
Church of England, a staunch Conser-
vative, and for seventy years a mem-
ber of the Orange society. He was
esteemed for his upright character.
He leaves two sons and two daughters.
The. sons are Thomas of East Wawa -
nosh and William of Turnberry ; the
daughters—Mrs. John McDonald of
Wingham and Mrs. W. Casemore of
Morris. Interment was made in Bel -
grave cemetery on Monday, a large
number following the remains to their
last resting place. The early settlers
• will soon all be numbered with the
dead, What changes have taken place
since some of therm struck their axes
into the first tree felled to build the
shanty, where for years they made
their humble home.
John Scott Of Turnberry.
This is another of the pioneers of
days gone by, that has passed to his
reward. Many years ago, perhaps
forty, Mr. Scott caste to this section
of country, settling near Glenannan.
He was a member of Eadies' Presby-
terian Church, a good neighbor, in-
dustrious and frugal, and enjoyed the
confidence and respect' of the com-
munity. He had been in • failing
health for several years, and on Sun-
day last passed to his eternal home,
aged 04 years. He leaves to mourn
his departure, a widow, one son, now
on the homestead, and one daughter,
Mrs. Adatn Johnston,, The funeral,
on Wednesday to Wingham cemetery,
was attended by a large number of
his friends and neighbors. Friend
after friend departs, who hath not
lost a friend ?
Mrs. Balaton. •
The funeral of the late Mes. Bainton
of Blyth passed through Wingham on
Wednesday. Deceased was formerly
to resident of Turnberry, just north of
town, and hence was well-known in
this vicinity. For some years, she
had peen a great sufferer from rheu-
matism.
FARM WORK MADE EASY.
The farmers of Canada are indebted
to the Family Herald and Weekly
Star of Montreal for one of the best
agricultural papers ever issued. The
issue of February 22 of that great
paper is largely devoted to the im-
porte nt question of labour raving
teethtodtt on the farm. It is wonder-
fully instructive, better then all the
agricultural meetings and exhibits of
farm tnaeltineryever held 'in this
Family country. The herald and
Weekly Star shnhikl be received by
every farmer in Canada. Our readers
should writc'i at once for a copy

WEST HURON RECOUNT,
Prrrrrrrrryr
After a week's delay, caused by the
illness of Judge Doyle, decision was
given on Friday last on the recount
of the ballots in West Huron. The
decision is --that Cameron is the mem-
ber elect, by a majority of two.
The case has been appealed, and it is
expected that the appeal will be heard
in Toronto at an early date. The fol-
lowing are, the points on which the
appeal is taken :-
1—All the ballots in No. 4, town of
Goderich, which were numbered
as well as initialed by the Deputy
Returning Officer.
2—One ballot in No. 4, Winghatn,
marked like et cetera (&c.), and
counted for Cameron.
3—One ballot in No. 2, Blyth, marked
across both spaces, supposed to be
a spoiled ballot. The juncture of
the lines of the cross is barely
above the line dividing the candi-
dates' spaces. This was counted
for Cameron,
4—One ballot in No. 1, West Wawa -
nosh, torn right across, but pinned
together and counted for Cameron.
5—One ballot in No. 5, Goderich town-
ship, marked for. Holmes, but re-
jected, because not initialed.
6—One ballot in No. 4, East Wawa -
nosh, initialed B. S. instead. of R.
S. as the others were in that poll;
counted for Cameron,
7—A peculiarly marked ballot for Ca-
meron and counted for him.

NOTE AND COMMENT.
—The members of the Ontario Gov-
ernment, who have accepted port.
folios, returned to their constituencies
for re-election. The notninations were
held on Tuesday, and all were elected
without opposition.
—The Seaforth Expositor, Liberal, _
speaks as follows of the new Cabinet :
- "Mr. Whitney has made a very judi-
cious selection. 'Without going out-
side the Legislature he has chosen the
cream of his party. No member of
the ' new Cabinet is conspicuously
brilliant, but all are level-headed busi-
ness men and should give the Province
good service."
—While no License Commissioners
have been appointed as yet by the
Outario Government, the Department
is securing front the various constitu-
encies the names of prominent gentle-
men who will see that the License Act
is strictly enforced. From these the
selections will be made, and the Minis-
ter is desirous that the composition of
the various boards should inspire con-
fidence among the people.
—The first deputation to wait upon
the new Government represented the
Dominion Grange. Among other
things, they asked for a secret ballot,
the end of subsidy granting to rail-
ways, and the proper taxation of reit-
roads. Premier Whitney said that
immediately after the bye -elections he
hoped to see steps taken to make the
