the amount of butter for market sale ‘is bound to increase. It is only nat- ural to expect that the price of but- ter will be loosened, and will drop from its 30-cent position, which it has long‘ held. A prominent dairyman stated to-day that it was very prob- :able that the price of butter would Someone has whispered that the price of butter is going to take a slump, and the average housewife is hoping that this forerunning hope wil be realized. The fact is that the cheese factories are on their last week’s manufacture, and beginning with next week, the farmers will keep the milk at home, and in consequence The fire was first noticed by a neighbor who lives in a nearby resi- dence, and he informed the occupants of the house of the danger. An alarm was immediately sent in and the fire department arrived shortly after noon. The sight of the hose waggon, making its way rapidly along Kent-st attract- ed a large number of business people and school children who were wending their ways home for dinner, and they flocked over to the east ward to see the extent of the fire. CHEESE FACTORIES CLOSE FOR THE - SEASON; BUTTER SHOULD BE CHEAPER Starting from an unknown cause, a fire broke out at the residence of R. Ransom on Logie-st., near Beal’s tan- nery, about 11.50 o’clock on Monday The house and the shed at the rear were burned to the ground and only the furniture was saved. East Ward Residence Special Exhibition Excursions “I think we should be able to get two or three hundred people down from Toronto,” said Mr. Sam Fox, M.P.P., one of the directors of the Lindsay Fair, when interviewed by The Free Press, relative to the adver- tising of the local exhibition. He seemed heartily in accord with the proposition, and thought that special excursions could be run from Toronto and other points. Mr. Fox had no idea of competing with Toronto, but he believed that the fair could be made the second best in the province. “Lindsay is very well located for a successful fair,” continued Mr. Fox, “I am told, and in fact I believe it is equal‘ to Ottawa city, It is a divisional point of the Grand Trunk railway, which is a great ad- vantage: it has connection with the Mrs. King, another witness, told of seeing Mrs. Taylor at the home of Mrs. Wilson on the day in question, but did not see any goods carted away. Mrs. Mary Mullen, who fol- lowed, said she saw the goods being C.P.R: main line, and has everything necessary to make it a great fair,” found guilty of both. She was given until Nov. 13th to compensate Mrs. Wilson for the goods she had stolen, and allowed her freedom on a bail of $500. She will appear again on the date mentioned for sentence on the charge of housebreaking. On a charge of house-breaking and of theft from the home of Mrs. John Wilson, east ward, on June 29th, Mrs. Taylor, of Kirkfield, appeared before his Worship, Judge Harding Friday morning in the county court, and was ye:.-..- ~_ - (a The first case dealt with was that of John Murray, who was charged with having assaulted John Bell. He was found guilty and fined $5 and costs, after several witnesses had testified. Wm. Bell was then charged with heating the aforesaid John Murray. The magistarte reviewed the evidence Mrs. Taylor Must Compensate Mr. Wilson, the first witness, .told of the condition in which he found things on his return from Omemee. The furniture and household goods, he said, were turned topsy turvy. CASE Many Assaults Made at Threshing in East OPS Before Magistrate Moore Wednesday Oct. 28th in the police court, the as- sault case at Mr. R. McGinnis’ farm in East Ops, on Oct. 15th inst, was again brought up. u. .H. ,_ AL-‘ ROW ON MR. McGlNNIS’ FARM AT LAST SETTLEDâ€"SEVERAL FIN- ED AND ONE CASE WAS DISMISSED.

Burned to the Ground Should be Run From Toronto Her Tenant for Goods Stolen take a lump," and the citizens should be on the lookout for any weakening of the present price. The cheese factories have had a favorable season, although in some respects it might have been better. However, there seems to be a spirit of satisfaction pervading dairy circles as a result of the large make of cheese Just at present the yield of milk is small, and the offering at the next and the concluding meeting of the cheese board will show a considerable iallingofi. Itishopedthattheex- pected decrease in the price of but- ter will be experienced very shortly. All that now remains of the resi- dence is the four brick walls and a few charred timbers. One pathetic incident of the fire was the killing of a. big Tom-cat by the falling of the chimney. The furniture, however, was all sav- ed, and the house, which was valued at $1,100 was partly covered by $700 insurance. The large crowd that gathered at the scene of the conflagra- tion greatly assisted the firemen in their endeavors, and thei refiorts in getting out the furniture were appre- ciated by the occupants of the house. would demand an outlay of money, which might not be realized the first year, but he thought that an exhibi- tion such as that of the town of Lindsay, should be visited by people from all over the province. Markham, he said, draws great crowds from To- ronto year after year, and their fair cannot be compared with that ' of Lindsay. They have speeding in the ring, but this town has the best hors- es in the province and eclipses Mark- ham in every event. Their exhibits fall away below the Lindsay stand- ard, and in many other ways this town has the advantage over Mark- ham. The firemen were unable to get the flames under control, as they had gained great headway before they ar- rived. The fire was fanned by a strong wind, which made th e work of fighting the fire more dificult. The accused Mrs. Taylor was then called to the box and told of her visit to Mrs. Wilson’s home to get the rent. Finding out from difierent people that Mrs. Wilson had left town, and thinking she was not go- ing to pay the rent, she seized the household goods that were in the house. His Worship then reviewed the ev- idence and ordered the accused to appear before him on Nov. 13th for sentence. All that is needed is that the direc- tor of the fair get out and adver- tise, and results will exceed their exâ€" pectations. The merchants of Lind- say would be greatly benefitted by an influx from differetn other places and they should not be slow to contribute towards the advertising of the Lind- say fair. John Hennessy said he was ap- proached by the accused and asked to buy the goods for $20, but knowing to whom they belonged, he refused to have anything to do with Mrs. Taylor whatever. Mrs. Perrin, Mrs. P. Milloy and Mrs. Crimmon, testified that they had purchased some small articles from the accused. mLJJuu VAOV wâ€"v ' . Richard and David McGinnis then laid a charge of assault against Mc- Gahey and Middleton for hinder- ing them in stopping the quarrel be- tween Murray and Bell. Several witnesses were also heard in this case, after which both of the accused were fined each $2 and costs. taken out of the house. and fined him $10 and costs. The charge of assault on D.

A letter received last week by a citi- zen from a. friend in Chicago convey- ed news of the recent demise of Mrs. D. Oliver, a former well- known and highly esteemed resident of this town. The intelilgence will be received with deep regret by many old friends.~ - The deceased came to Lindsay with her parents soon after the close of the American civil war, and some years later married a lumberman named Link, then operating extensively m this locality. Some years after his Thursday night at St. Joseph’s hos- pital there passed away one of the old- est and most respected residents of Ennismore, in the person of Mr. Pat- rick O’Connor. He was born in Ire- land 76 years ago, and for sixty years he resided in the township of Ennis- more, where he was well known to ev- eryone. Mr. O’Connor was married 33 years ago to Hannah Cosgrove, who survives him. His sons are Maurice, in the United States and John, of En- nismore, and his daughters, Mary at home and Lillian in Saginaw, Mich. His surviving brothers are Maurice and Cornelius of Ennismore, James of Hamilton, and John, of Downey- ville, and he has one sister, Mrs. J no. Scollard, of Ennismore.â€"â€"Examiner. Many of our citizens, and hundreds of the residents of the surrounding township, learned with intense re- gret of the unexpected death, on Wed- nesday, Oct. 28th of Miss Ellen M. Whalen, daughter of Mrs. James Whalen, lot 17, con. 8, Ops, at the age of 32 years. Although she had been unwell far some time, no serious re- sult was anticipated, and hence her demise following a sudden turn for: the worse came as a great shock to the relatives and immediate friends of the family. Popular with every- one because of her endearing quali- ties of heart and mind, a very large circle of friends will miss her sweet and helpful presence. The sympathy of all will be extended to the. sorrow- ing mother and two sisters, Mrs. M. Farrell and Sister Eucharie, of Port Arthur, and brothers John and Tho- mas, on the homestead. The funeral took place this morning to St. Mary’s church, interment. tak- ing place in the Catholic cemetery. Mrs. Archer on Saturday night did not feel quite well and retired short- ly after supper. Her husband went to bed shortly afterwards and fearing that she was very ill asked her at different times during the night if she felt any worse. At two o’clock he went off to sleep again to wake up at daybreak to find that his wife had passed away. Ou'Thln-sdav.

On Tuesday Oct. 27 our venerable and highly respected citizen, Mr. C. L. Baker, and family, were greatly shocked by the receipt of a telegram announcing the sudden death of his son Albert in St. Michael’s hospital. The young man, who was in his 27th year, and unmarried, had been a resi- dent of the city for several years, and was doing well as a painter and dec- orator. In a letter received by the family some days ago he had an- nounced his intention of spending Thanksgiving day under the parental roof if business would permit him to do so. The deceased spent his boyhood day shere, and was well liked by ev- eryone. Heart failure is supposed to have been the cause of his sudden demise. The bereaved father, sisters and brothers will have the sympathy of the community in their affliction. At her home in Minden township, on Sunday morning, Oct. 25th, Mrs. Alfred Archer, one of the oldest and most highly respected women of the commuity passed suddenly away. MRS.
