\‘Cu. \VILLIS, of the firm of Cald- Well Willis. met with a bad acci- dent on Saturday night at their stable on Burrows avenue while arranging the bedding for a horse. In some manner the animal became frightened and kicked viciously, striking \Villis on the right leg and breaking his thigh. After being knocked down, the horse. in its movements. tramped on the unfor- tunate man’s head and face and otherwise injured him before he could be rescued. Dr. Culbertson was at once nofified and had Willis removed to the hospital. where his injuries were looked after. The latest re. ports from the hospital are to the elect that Willis is progressing as well as could be expected â€"Dauphin, Mam, Press.

The machine is very easily cleaned, and does not contain nearly so many parts as the other separathrs on the market. Everything is simple and compact, and everything in con- nection will be manufactured right in town by a class of highly skilled workmen. Mr. Broomall loft Tuesdav morn- ing for Toronto, and in the course of a few days will start operations in Mr. Smith’s Foundry. where manu- facturing will go on till the building is wady. The tuilding will be about 100 feet long y 35 feet wide and two or three storeys high. fitted out with first class machinery. A ByoLaw will be submitted short- 1v. and from the feeling of the citizens at the present time we antic- ipate little or no opposition. On Monday night last in reaponse to a call from Mayor a large audience assembled in Town Hall to discuss a proposition from Mr. Wm. Broomall relative to the building and Operating of a Cream Separator Factory to which reference was made in our last issues. For an hour or so the dis. cussion was lively and not a dissent- ing VOiCP was heard against the scheme. Mr. Broomall’s proposition is to invust $15,000 in a plant, and stock. and ask the town to supple- ment this by a free site. tax exemp- tion for ten years. and a loan of $7,000, the loan to be repaid at. a thousand dollars annually after the third year. The company guarantees employment to thirty skilled work- men right from the start with a prospect of doubling the number in- side of twelve months. ‘ ' FOR SAIEâ€" \t less than half their nxalue, a litter of pure bred Scotch Collie puppies shed by AllieC.

This consisted chiefly of illustrations of the play in Indian life. The idea of perpetuating this somewhat after the fashion of the Passion Play at Ober- I Ammergau had its origin a few years ago on the north shore of Lake Huron not far from Sault Ste. Marie. The lecturer, Mr. Cary W Hartman. gave an interesting story of some things in connection with Indian life, but fhis style of telling it was tame and tiresome. Madame Waltz being somewhat indisposed, rendered very little to the musical part of the pro gramme. From her a good deal was expected. The pictures were pretty, the address was somewhat dry, the singing was scanty, the lights were out fora time, but for all this the entertainment was much better than many of the fake shows we have had here during the past season. The manager himself felt that justice hadn’t been done. and his profuse apOIOgy makes up in part for what, the performance lacked The ma- tinee in the afternoon was well at. tended, and for both occasions the] proceeds totaled up about $50.00. | Big Jewellery Store.
