The cash receipts for the year 1002 were $69,045.83, the disbursements were $67,664 85, leaving a balance of $1,380.41. of which $1,$30.44 was deposi- ted in chartered banks and $50 in the treasurer's hands.

The good roads committee reported that, in view of the number of unfavor- able expressions received from munici- palities in the county to the terms of the grant, they thought it unwise to proceed further into the matter at the present time, as the necessary two-thirds majori- ty from the rural municipalities had not been received,only ten out of the sixteen townships being favorable to the scheme. As several amendments wore proposed at the present session of the Legislature, one of them Mug the extending of the time' for county councils to take the matter up, they recommended that the matter be left in abeyance till some To Protect You Against Imitations A WOMAN'S ADVIC$ To Those Who Suffer Frohn Headaches, Packaehes and Ailments Peculiar to. the Sex. Every woman needs plenty of pure, rich, red, blood and sound nerves to carry her safely through her times of pain and sickness. Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills are good in a. speeial way for women. They actually make now health-giviug blood, They give ease, strength and vigor. They stimulate all the organs to preform their functions regularly and well. They banish all pains and depression, all headaches and backaches, and all the secret distress that only a woman knows. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills bring the sparkle to dull eyes and the rosy glow of health to cheeks once pale and piuced with silent suffering. They bring health and strength when all else fails. Here is a bit of strong proof from Mrs. John McKerr, Chickuey, N. W. T., who says: ' Jeer some years I was greatly afflicted with the ailments that make the Byes of so many of my sex miserable. I tried many tuedicines, but found nothing to relieve me until I began the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills have made rue fuel like a new person; the almost contiuuous suffering I endured has passed away,and life uo longer seems the burden it once did. I know other women who have been similarly bene- fitted, and I think the pills are worth their weight iu gold to all who suffer from female complaints or general pros- tration." All over the land are suffering women who can obtain new health and strength through the use of these pills. Only the genuiueshould be taken and these bear the fall name, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People" on the wrapper around every box.

' The great prescriptions of Dr. Chase have attained such enormous sales that the temp- tation to imitate them is continually growing stronger. In order that you may be certain. that you are getting his genuine remedies, the doctor's portrait and signature are on every box or bottle of his rem. edits. This is the strongest guarantee that any medicines can have. The skiU experience and integ- rity of Dr. Chase are at the beck death od these preparations and pee cannot afford to accept cheap ha• itationtt and so risk iiia and health. t, era. • r foie;. future time.

They again visited the farm Jane 2nd and found it looking exceedingly neat and the house clean as usual. Tho house had been overcrowded all year and au addition was recommended of sufficient size to accommodate present and future requirements.

In the afternoon the council met in committee to revise the equalized assess- ment. Thursday, June 4. Council resumed at 10 o'clock. A request for a grant to the Mixon regiment from Lt.Col. Varcoe was sent to the executive committee. H. C. Jackson and M. Ashwith were heard explaining particulars of the ac- cident at Manchester bridge.

They recommended that two screen doors be purchased for use on the jailer's residence. They also visited the court house and found every- thing well kept and clean. Theyrecom- mended that a new 20 -ft flay be purchas- ed as the old ono is worn out, and that the walls and ceiling of the court room be painted and tie woodwork varnished and that the engineer, be instructed to ask for tenders and superintend the work. Mr. Ansley was asked to place before the council to -morrow specifi- cations and probable cost of the work. Tho report was adopted. N.

A deputation from the township of Colborne waited on the council relative to cutting down the hill on the Goderieh township side of the Holmesville bridge. The question was referred to the exec- utive committee. The equalization committee recom- mended the adoption of the schedule of 1002 for the year 1903. Motions wore made to reduce the equalized value of Goderich township $1 per acre and to r duce that of Tuckorsmith $2 per acre. Both motions were lost and the report was adopted. Messrs. "Young, }deck and Grant, ad- dressed the council in the matter of the grant to the 33rd regiment. The special committee reported that they had a conrnlnnication from Aubrey White, deputy commissioner of Crown Lands for the province, relating to to drain matter between the township of Logan in Perth county and MclEillop tOWnship in Huron county, fund 'town - dad that .lronisirots las passed 'bar have the line located from the north limit of con. 12, McKillop, to the town- ship of Grey boundary and that per- manent stakes be placed at the corners of the concession roads.

The papers in regard to the cutting down of the hill near Homesville bridge were referr- ed back to the committee of the whole. They recommended that the request for a grant of $15 to a Farmers' Institute in Clifford village be granted, the same sum being grauted by Wellington county.

Moved by Mr. Bowman, seconded by Mr. Miller that we very mach regret the absence of D. Patterson, county council- lor, at this session through an accident, and we hope and trust he may soon be restored to his usual health and strength.

Mr. Miller moved, seco%ded by Mr. Bowman, that the council grant $1,000 to assist in improving the road between Morris and East Wawanosh. This mat- ter was left to the executive committee to report next December. Messrs.

Some newspapers are discussing the report of the judges in the G.tmey en- quiry as if the nen on the bench should have favored the country witletheirppin- ions ou what a politician should do and should not do,what the law and proceed- uro should be, but is not, in so far as patronage, saw -offs, protests, and such matters are concerned. But the commission was appoiuted 10 try a stated case. It was not created to draw up a formula for improved gov- ernment, to frame a treatise, or plan a new system for us. The commission was appoiuted to hear, weigh, and report on the evidence dealing with the specific charge that J. R. Strattou had bribed R. R. Gamey. The evidence was pat in, the judges decided that the charge was not supported, and their whole report_ deals with or is based ou Gainey's lack of cre- dibility as a witness. Having decided that Gamey could not be relied on, that the weight of other evidence was against him, the judges, as valuators of testi- mony, acquitted Mr. Stratton. If the evidence had warranted a different ver- dict the terms of it would no doubt have been as condemnatory as everybody could have wished. What some of our contemporaries ap- pear to complain of is that the judges, while briugiug in a decision iu con- formity with the evidence of "not guilty," did not at the same time pass such censure ou the Government as would be equally servicable to its enemies as a verdict of guilty. What they wanted was some pronouncement that would "make the country ring." The judges confined themselves to the definite case submitted to them. Beyond that the respousioility was not theirs for the politics of the country. If prevail- ing political methods are so bad as to need a judical report thereon, let a com- mission be appointed to make an all- around investigation and a direct report. But if things are so bad why does not the Opposition "make the country ring," and if both parties aro bad and equally bad the people have 'means for produc- ing reforms. The responsibility caunot be foisted upon judges or governors. Our Credit Good. New Zealand recently received a. set- back when a new loan was offered to the British public. All Australian loans are now regarded suspiciously also, be- cause they have beeu flying their kites rather high under the Southern Cross. In Canada more modesty has been shown. The franchise has not been given to women, nor has the Govern- ment assumed the general debts and ob- ligations of the citizens. A few millions are given to favored individuals occas- ionally, and another "divide" will be announced soon with Senator Cox, as the recipient of the largest slice of cake. Yet our credit has been kept Al at Lloyds or some other part of London, and our loans are well regarded by iu- vestors. This year Canada has already collected eleven million more than she has spent and the year is not yet closed. The natio$al debt will be reduced a few million shortly, just as an object lesson to the other parts of the Empire. -June Canadian Magazine.

CONFERENCE LASTED TILL II. Sir Charles hlvers-Wilson and Grand Trunk Manager C. 51. Mays Closeted With the Premier and Some of Dia Colleagues - What Transpired Not loivulged ^ Both, Sides Aro Sphinx -Like. Ottawa, June 11. -Sir Rivers Wil- son and Mr. C. M. Iiays arrived yes- terday morning from Montreal and spent a very busy afternoon and ev- ening- interviewing the Ministers. Last night the Grand Trunk Manag- er and the President were closotedi With the Prime Minister in his ofnce in the IIouse of Commons. A num- ber of the other members of the Gov ernurait were present. Tho confer- ence lasted until 11 o'clock, when Sir Rivers Wilson and Mr. Hays, ac. companicd by 'Messrs. Wainwright and Biggar took their leave. What transpired at the interview was not. divulged. The Ministers would not speak, and Sir Rivers and Itis asso- ciates were equally sphlnk-like. It is probable, however, that matters have advanced sufficiently far tis citable the Government to form a. general idea of the character of the aid best suited to the undertaking, CANADIAN NORTHERN AID. Dir. Borden Demands an Explanation OI General Railway Polley From the Government-Publio Ownership. Ottawa, June 11, - Yesterday af- ternoon the Iiouse took up Mr., 13lair's resolution to aid the Canad- ian Northern Railway by guarantee of Londa. The aid to be given is a guarantee of bonds to the extent of $13,000 per mise, bearing interest at 8 per cent. and secured by mortgage on the property. Mr. Blair explained that the section from Grand View to Edmonton passed through a coun- try of which 80 per cent. was cap- able of growing the best of wheat. The same is true, though perhaps,. not to quite the same per cent. of the other section. Iie was satis- fied that in the course of time these roads would meet any reasonable ob- ligation, principalt,and interest. Un.- der n.dor the circumstances the Govern- ment thought it would not be fair to settlors to have to wait until the company could build these lines fromm, its own resources. - Mr. Bell of Pictou asked if tl(c company would be able to sell their 3 per cent. bonds at par. Mr. Blair replied that the com- pany was very hopeful of doing so. "What will it cost to build the road?" asked E. P. Clarke. "Dry information is that it will cost more than the $13,000 a mile," replied Mr. Blair. Ile added that there wore varying estimates running as high as $17,000 a mile. Mr. Borden said it was important that the Government should inform the douse if this was part of any comprehensive schemee _ which th Government had in hand for the de- velopment of a scheme of transporta- tion, the improvement* of our lake harbors and utilization of our ocean ports and harbors. Also, whether it was part of a scheme to extend to the Pacific coast. It was important to know also whether Mr. Blair had abandoned the scheme he had announced in the West, of a govern - went owned railway across the con- tinent. "1 only had a dream about that," said Mr. Blair. Mr. Borden said another matter was that of capitalization, in con- nection with which he trusted the Government had. taken steps to en- sure that it should not be so over- loaded as to prevent the Government having control of rates which was so essential in Canada. Mr. Borden oic pressed the . hope 'that the Govern- ment should provide for supervision of the construction and cost of the subsidized portion of the line.
