A sudden death occurred at Mount Chesney Sunday aftérnoon when Ernest Prevost, a young cheesemak- er, about twenty-five years of age was found dead in bed. The deceas- ed's home was at Westport, and he was employed in the cheese-factory owned by Joseph McGraw at the for- mer place. Saying that lie was aot feeling well, Mr. Prevost retired lo his bed in the boarding house of Mrs, James George, close by the lac-| tory, about nine o'clock Sunday morning. "At. different times the «and-lady made trips upstairs to see if the young man required any medi- He, however seemed to be enjoying a peaceful slumber and Mrs. George did not disturb him. About five o'clock as Mr. Prevost {was not making any stir to come supper, Kenneth Prevost, a younger brother, who also boarded at the same place, went upstairs to call his brother, 'but receiving no | answer found that he was dead. Word was immediately sent to | | Kingston, and Coroner W. W.

SUNBURY MAN LOOKING For His Wife Who Has Gone Away Witly Companion. What has become of Wesley Jack- son, aged twenty-eight years, and a married woman who resided at Sun- bury? This is the question which Justice of the Peace George Hunter and the county -police have been asked to answer: The husband of the woman who "beat it" went to Col. Hunter and asked that he endeavor to find his wife wlio has been missing since Fri- Upon making an investigation at Sunbury it was found that Jackson had been. well acquainted with the woman. On Friday the woman dis- posed of two cows and some turni- ture, and with the money the couple are alleged to have departed. When the case was reported to the county police they made inquiries at the Grand Trunk outer station to see if the couple bought tickets there, but the ticket agent does not remem- ber any such parties. A short time ago Mrs. Marshall, who resides in Sunbury, had a war- rant issued for the arrest of Jackson charging him with attempting to as- sault her. ye a-------- J. J.

Enquiry Would Show. Toronto Telegram, Conservative Orders for certain lines of regi- mental supplies are said to be con- trol.ed by 'individuals who demand a twenty-five per cent. commission from the manufacturers who receive orders+ for such supplies. ¥he money that covers the prico of these orders may come from regi- mental funds or from private sub scriptions. Publicity should reveal | the methods of expending the money! || irrespective .of Where the money comes 'from. Do custom and usage sanctioa a system under which individuals whe can place or refuse to place orders for regimental supplies demand com- missions of twenty-five per cent. on the price named in these Do orders go to the manufactur: who can offer the best regimental supplies for the lowest price or to the manufacturer who can pay the highest commission to the agert who paces the order? These questions are being quietly asked and should be publicly answer- ed. Sir Charles Davidson might do worse than include Toronto in th» circuit of his war contract enquiry. An enquiry would .show whether or| |i not manufacturers have to meet de- ||| mands for commissions when reszi- ments place orders for military sup- plies other than those provided by the Militia Department.
