.w Dundas & Flavelle Brothers, Dealers in Dry Goods, Cl THE “ IDEAL: _ .WIND-MILLS. THOMAS ROBSON has secured the agency for the Goold, Shapiey & Muir Co’s “Ideal” Pumping Wind Mills. 'Tbe Freeport Journal contains the fol- lowing notice of these Mills: '9 “The citizens of Freeport always take pride in the progress of its citi- zens, and especially in the development of its industries, for much of our pros- perity depends on their success. We have a number of strong and enter- prising mauufacturing concerns in this city, and among them the Stover man- ufacturing company occupies a leading place. Their exhibit at the World’s Fair has been the centre of attraction in the windmill division all summer, and energetic Mr. John M. Irwin, super- intendent of agencies, with able assis- tance, has had his hands full and his tongue more than ordinarily busy ex- plaining the merits of the Ideal Pump- ing Wind Mill and Ideal Junior Sec- tional Power Mill, and booking orders for them. Mr. Irwin reports business done with numerous foreign countries, and within the last few weeks the company has arranged with a live Canadian firm, Messrs. Goold, Shapley & Muir 00., (Ltd), of Brantford, Can- ada, to manufacture and sell the Ideal and Ideal Junior wind-mills, exclu- sively in‘ Canada. Mr. E. L. Goold, president, and Mr. John Muir, vice- president, were in the city recently arranging the details, and they report the prospects for business in Canada as excellent. Mr. Muir, who, by the way, is a noted salesman, said some very complimentary things about the members of the Stover Manufacturing company, and their honorable way of doing business, also about the excel- lence of their goods, but we will not tell more for fear it might make the worthy members of that company blush. We can endorse all Mr. Muir said about their business enterprise and integrity.” Wild dthhIiSE Is not heralding special bargains for Xmas, as we do it all the year round.

The great majority of voters through- out Ontario on Monday will no doubt attach much more importance to the results of the contests for the various municipal offices than .to the result of the plebiscite on prohibition; and yet not even a decade of the wildest mis- pality throughout the Province would be productive of as. much evil as flows from the liquor traflic in a single year. The tremendous evils. inflicted upon mankind by intoxicants is no longer denier], but their abolition is op- posed, chiefly by interested, parties, on- varioun grounds, which are taken up one by one and ably replied to by the Rev. J. S. Ross, of Weedstock, whose letter, cepied‘ from a: recent issue of the Globe, will be found on our last page. The defenders of the liquor traffic have always maintained that prohibition is only asked for by a few fanatics,.aad that the great majority of the people are against it ;~ but the same fallacy was also maintained in Prince Edward Island, where, only a. few days ago. prohibition was carried by a majority of about three to one, which is somewhat better than we hope to do in Ontario, thouglrwe have not the slightest doubt that the “ yeas ” will outnumber the “nays ” by tens of thousands- As a matter of course the liquor dealers, both wholesale and retail, will do their best and spare neither time nor money to defer as long as possible the inevitable fate of the traffic; and it is highly de- Perhaps You Want a New Sleigh or Cutter OR THE OLD ONE FiXED UP'?"

We hope that all our readers will care- fully peruse Mr. Ross’s letter, which can hardly fail to dispel the lingering doubts of thoseâ€"~and there are no doubt many suchâ€"who have nearly but not quite made up their minds to vote for prohibition. but who will certainly be induced to. dose- by the reverend: gentle- man’s arguments. The Nominations. The village nominations were held, according to law, in Jordan’s hall last Friday, and, as usual, so many of the ratepayers wanted the honor and glory of being a mover or a secoudcr that, when they got through, there was a string of candidates long enough to fill at least one side of a sheet of foolscnp. But some resigned on the spot and others either before the meeting was over or during the following day, so that finally the number was reduced to two for the recveship, seven for coun- cillors and six for school trustees, as follows:â€" For Reeveâ€"J. A. Ellis and Joseph McFarland. For Councillor.â€"John H. Brandon, Wm. Golden, Wm. Heaslip, George _ v.._._m Syndicate assessment, but nothing was rule and extravagance in every muoici- . sirable to have as decisive a victory as possible, in order to dishearteu the ‘ Martin, Vm. McKcown, and A. Wilson, M. D. For School Trusteeâ€"John Austin, - Alex. Clark, Sl‘., James Dickson, H. H. Graham, M. D., and F. MeDongall. At the close of the hour allowed for nominations Mr. W. T. Junkin, the returning officer, was requested and consented to officiatc as chairman, and the speaking then commenced and lasted until riot far from midnight. As every- body knew beforehand would be the case, nearly all the talk was about the‘ said that has- not been said over‘and over again during the past fortnight or so on every street and in every store in the village. What Mr. Ellis said, and what Mr. McFarland said, and what the Austin Bros. and all the other orators said was heard by each of the large number of electors present, and by next morning there were such widely different opinions as to the exact words used by some of the candidates that a great deal ofâ€"in some cases angryâ€"â€" disputation has been the result, As we did not put into writing the disputed words as they fell from. the lips of the speakers, which means that we did not take a report that could be put in as evidence, anything we might say would only add fuel to the flames, upon which ; we would much rather throw cold water if we could, concord being. far preferable to discord in our humble opinion. The names of the different candidates are before the ratepayers, ninety per cent. of whom have probably by this time de- cided how they will vote, but we are afraid that in too many cases the de- cision has been influenced by “ fear, favor or affection ” or by other considerâ€" ations than: the best interest-s of the village. In F’enelon there will be no voting except for or against prohibition, last year’s reeve and councillors having been rc-electcd by acclamation. In the other adjoining municipalities the. candidates " (unless some of them have resigned) are as follows :â€" VEBULAM.â€"â€"For Reeveâ€"John Jun- kin and James Lithgow. For Deputy Reeve. John Kelly and Morgan Johns. For Councillorâ€"Thomas Junkin, John Patterson, James Akister, Wm. Mann, John Devitt, Robert M. Thurston, 'l‘hos- Robinson, John Lewis and John Hunter. SOMERVILLE. â€" For Reeveâ€"James Wilson and John Howie. For Deputy Reeve, J. A. Harvey and A. Morrison. For Councillor â€"Wm. Fell, Yeoman Smith, J. Oswald, George Romney and-- Benjamin Burtchall- An Exciting Time. Last Sunday evening Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Worsley. Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Worsley and Mr. Edward Tcare were coming to the Falls in a sleigh to at- tend church, the first two occupying the front seat and' the other three sitting at thevbaek. Behind it was Mr. Joseph Pearn’s sleigh, which centained several persons, the driver being ,Mr. Joseph Pearn, Jr. Behind that again was Mr. George Isaac in. a cutter, and, when iwithin a short distance of the railway crossing on Helen street, south of the bridge, Mr. Isaac pulled out to pass Mr. Pearn's sleigh, whereupon the team attached. to it gave so sudden a jump that the ham mer-bolt holding the double- tree to the pole was jerked‘ out, and the horses, thus liberated from. the sleigh, pulled the lines from the driver’s hands 'and. ran away. The occupants of Mr. Worsley’s sleigh, which. was about fifty yards ahead, saw. them approaching, and Mr. Elisha W'orsley and Mr. Team, the latter of whom jumped out, tried their best to make them turn aside, but in vain, as they reared when they over- t took the sleigh and. leapt into it as far.- Mr. Elisha Worsley was knocked out by a blow which for- tunater did not hurt him, and his wife, springing forward, caught hold of- Mr. and Mrs. Elijah. Worsley,,"tha= former-of \vhomvhad all he could do to hold his team, which tried to run but did: not get away. It is almost a miracle- that neithor of the three was fatally injured, as Mr. Pearn’s- horses were striking out wildly with their- i'ront- feet, but after the lapse of a few seconds the sleigh was dragged from under them and they fell'down and did not try to rise until they were liberated from the harness, in which they were tangled up. How the legitimate occupants of the sleigh got 'out they hardly know, but the ladies were so faint from pain and fright that at first they were not able to stand without assistance. Mrs. Elisha Wors- ley’s right cheek, arm and leg were badly bruised, though no blood was drawn, and her sister-inlaw, whose outer clothing was literally torn into ribbons, was hurt on the head, side and arm. Mr. Elijah Worsley, like his brother Elisha, received no injury worth men- tioning. Close to the scene of the acci- dent live Mrs. S. Swanton and Mr. S. Cooper, sister and brother of Mrs. Elisha Worsley, and in their houses the party rested for awhile bef0re coming to the Falls, where the ladies’ hurts were at- tended to. by Dr. Graham. .as they could go: othing, Milline‘ff‘ Personals. Mr. Thomas Archer got home from Longford yesterday, and will remain- long enough to vote on Monday. ' Mr. Chris. Brandon, eldest son of 311'. John Brandon of Fenelon, returned home last Saturday, after an absence of two and a-half years, the greater part of which time he was employed in Mr. W. R. Dick's saw-mill nt Kcewatiu, 120 miles east of Winnipeg. ‘ Cln'is., who has grown from “ a lump of a boy " in- to a good-sized mun, likes Ontario better than British Columbia, where he spent afew months, or Manitoba, and will remain in his native province for a time at any rate. Mr. James Dickson, P.‘ L. S.. and: his right and left hand supporters, Messrs. Sam Barr and Wm. McIntosh, returned home last Friday from north- western Ontario. having been driven out of the woods by the snow, which was about three feet deep and so light and feathery that they Could not walk on it with snow shoes. Last Monday was the first Christmas day in seven. years that Mr. Dickson was able to spend- with his family. Mr. William Heard of Bowmanvillc- has been at the Falls since Saturday last visitirg his brother, Mr. Joseph; " Heard, and will. go, home to-morrow.

Mr. Lewis Manning, who' has been- living at B'arrydale, Unt., for some time past. came home last Saturday night to- visit his mother and other relatives. Messrs.
