CHARGE WAS NOT PROVED Jacob Williaa'ms and Sandy Hoy of Eugenia were up before the Magis- trate here on Thursday last, charged with having been intoxicated at the celebration in Flesherton on Ju ly 12th. No one could bo found, how- ever, who would coroborate the charge. In* fact the witnesses relied on to secure a conviction declared that both gentlemen were sober, so the case was dismised.

THOSE WIDER ROADS About 500 miles of highway, located chiefly in the nort,hen and western parts of old Ontario, are affected by the decision of Hon. G. S. Henry, Min- ister of Highways, to suspend the work of widening to 86 feet, pending a survey. Approximately 1,200 miles of highway had bet-n widened under the old Government, the land for the most part being secured from owners at the cost of a new wire fence along the section from which the ten feet had been taken. The work of widening the highways from 66 to 86 feet, condemned by the present Government because of the cost, was undertaken for several reas- ons, according to departmental state- ments, the chief of which was to preserve the trees along the road from destruction and mutilation in tele- graph and telephone wiring. Another justification which the old Govern- ment advanced for the work of wid- ening was that it lessened the expense of keeping the highways reasonably clear of snow. Still another reason was the need in many places for foot- paths. NOT WORTH A HAT STOLE THREE THOU. TRIED TO ELOPE The Girl Is Now In Jail Ellen Schrieber, a young woman nineten years of age, is in the Cuonty aol at Owen Sound charged with the theft of three thousand dollars from her foster father, with whom she resides at Pike Lake, near Mt. Barest. The Provincial Police are hot on the trail of William Wicks, alias Charles Batton, whom it is al- ,eged induced the girl to steal the money, and elope with him to Guelph where it is alleged he induced the girl to believe that he would mary her. Schrieber has a great aversion to banks and preferred to keep his hoard of money about his home and his farm. He had saved, through years of toil and frugality, the no insigni ficant sum of seven thousand dollars, part of which he kept in the house, and the remainder, several thousand dollars, in a jar buried under some bushes near the house. Schriber's foster daughter, who is now at the County Gaol awaiting trial is said to be mentary deficient, was prevailed upon to steal two thou- sand dollars, from the jar in the bush, and another thousand from the house. The theft was committed about six o'clock on Thursday evening last, and the money was handed over to Wicks, about ten o'clock the same evening. The plan was that they were to go to Toronto by way of Guelph, and from there leave for South Amerca, where it is said Wicks has been in connec tion with oil drilling operations. The plans also included a manage cere- mony at Guelph. Early Friday morning the couple left Mount Forest, the girl taking her foster fother's car. When they had reached Arthur the car broke down, and loavnj? the girl at a grocery store Wicks said he would place hteir grips on a train, and hire a car to go to Guelph. He has not been seen since. The girl finding herself deserted at once complained to the authorities, and she unfolded the whole dismal tale to them. She was brought to Owen Sound by Provincial Constables Minnie of Guelph and Jones of Owen Sound. Wicks, instead of proceeding to Guelph, as he had promised, it is alleged hired a taxi cab at Gibbons Garage and proceeded east. He was traced as far as Toronto, and the po- lif have information that he spent the night at a hotel there. From what can be learned. Wicks is about forty three years of age, anil ha been living in the community for some time.

DeCUDMORE, Agent CARS COLLIDED IN TOWN A car collision occurred in the vil- lage on Monday evening but fortun- ately no physical injury resulted. A light truck from Toronto, containing eight people, collided with a Ford car owned by H. Goldsmith of Clark- sburg. The Ford had fender, radius rod and axle bent, but the truck had a hind wheel dished, axle bent, and other dumafr<\ Both parties decided to pay for their own repairs, and at that the truck man hud the worst of c-epted the the bargain. Some criticism is being offered of [ Hon. E. C. Drury because he decided to collect back pay as premier of Ontario. The criticiem is misdirected The mistake of MY. Drury in not col- lecting 2,125 for the past eight mon- ths, bnt in giving the province a gift of 0,000 in the past three years. The Premiership of Ontario should com- mand a- monetary return of at least $12,000 per year. It is not too much and an ungrateful province is not say- ing thanks to the retiring Premier for. his sacrifice. Nor would there have been any honest criticism had he ac- full payment of $12,000 throughout his term . Bulletin. the first two Sun- > Ston on Sunday.

Th"e Advance added several new subscribers to our list test week, and The following is a quotation from a speech delivered by the Hon. E. C. Drury, before a horticultural society. "Horticulture has had its ups and downs, and we need not suppose that everyone grows a basket of fruit or a bunch of flowers is an angel, because they are not. And we need not suppose either that they lack their troubles. I had very great disapointmcnt in the growing of a melon. I have a v t -ry good friend in the House up here who is none the less a good friend because he is a political opponent. He also has failed in growing a melon.. The gentleman is W. F. Nickle, of King- ston. A year ago he sent me one of the finest melons that I ever saw or tasted. When I saw him, I thank- ed him for it and congratulated him as to the quality. And he said: "I will tell you what I will do. I will give you some seed of that variety and we will see who will grdw the best melon, and the winner is to get a hat." He sent me some of the seed, and I grew it. I gave it a lot of personal attention, and^ as the fruits developed they were beautiful in size, they were perfect, and I look- ed forward to winning the hat. But when we cut the first one it had no flavor whatever. I said to myself I hope I shall not see my friend Nickel for a little while. I shall certainly not send him any of .my melon, because we had agreed that each should judge of the excellence of the other's pro- duct. He sent me one, and when I cut it, it was the same flavor as one I cut. I suspected him perhaps of having substituted some other kind of seed for me, because the two melons in Simcoe and at Kingston were identical in lack of flavor. Can you tell me what happened those melons ? Were we both so anxious to beat the other that we forced them beyond bounds? Who got the hat? They were not worth a hat, and we decided that neither was en- titled to it." BADGEROS STORK ROBBED The general store at Badgeros, owned by J. Hamilton, was robbed one night last week. The thieves gained access to the store by cutting out a pane of glass in the front door and the floods to the value of 150 were removed. The cash register, containing $15 in cash and cheques was also carried away. The post office which is in the store, was un- touched \V. .1. Aadir of Glencairn struck a horse wlh a club, from the effects of ] which it died. He was fined $5 and costs, a total of $24.75.
