Wiarton Mill Destroyed by Fire. A spectacular fire occurred at Wiarton on Monday which com- pletely destroyed the saw mill of the Kastner Lumber Company. The out- break is of a mysterious nature, as the mill has not been in operation throughout the Winter? It is believâ€" ed that it was the work of an incen- diary. The loss is estimated at be- tween $5,000 sz $6,000. a child saved from a painful death may comfort vou as vou hand in your giftâ€"as much as you can af- ford Leave it with Miss Kearney at Beggs Store.

Mr. James Beaks. a reSpect-ed res- ident nl' Dromore vicinity in Egre- mont. “68 found dead in his bed at his home a short distance west of Amos Church on Sunday morning: 'I‘ he cause of death was heart fail-1 ure. Mr. Beaks had been up to Dro- more on Saturday egening,r and had returned home about 11 o’clock. For practically the whole of his life, Mr. Beaks has resided in this locality, and. we. believe was born here. A number of years ago he was in the employ of Messrs. Jamieson and Sparling in. the lumber business, and had also spent some winters in the northern woods. For the past win- ter, Mr. Boaks had been employed by Mr. Farr Lawrence of Egremont, The “Save The Children” Fund. Famine stalks through Russia, claiming its victims by hundreds of thousands. including helpless and innocent children, crying for bread, doomed to a slow and painful death. This picture, though heart-rending, has a somewhat cheerful aspect. For five dollars you can practically ad- Opt a Russian child, keeping it alive till harvest. One dollar will feed a child like one of your own for a month. Twenty-five cents will keep it for a week. One cent will buy a nourishing meal of bread and rice, or bread and beans. The thought of Found Dead in Bed. and was on the job up to Saturday evening, when Mr. Lawrence drove him to his home near Dromore. The deceased was about 65 years of age, and was a bachelor. He was a bro- ther of John Beaks, a former well known resident here, who was killed at Guelph some years ago. Two oth- er brothers also survive, but their present whereabouts is unknown. One brother, Tom, registered at Ni- agara during the war, and another brother, Dan.. has not been heard from for years. Mr. Boaks was a member of the local court of the C. O. F. Interment is being made to- day in Amos cemetery, Dromore. Oyapela and Company, the last of the series of five Lyceum entertain- ments presented here under the auspices of Trinity Church, was given on Thursday evening last and dlighted a packed house. The com- Oyapela and Company. pany consisted of three ladies, each being an artist in the work she pre- sents. Oyapela, which means “Singâ€" ing Water.” is a niece of the Chief of the Creek Indians. She is evidently a woman of more than ordinary lit- erary ability and her literary pres- entations are of tremendous interest. She is most fascinating in her trans- lation of the myths and legends of her people, just. as they have been handed down by her tribal historâ€" ians. From her first appearance she captivated .her audience and held them spellbound, and she told in choice language her most interesting stories. It is doubtful if even Long- fellow himself could ‘have given a better interpretation of Hiawatha‘s “'ooing. In our opinion she was the best. indivilual character in the whole series of five- mneerts.
