at which all of the Ministers are expected to be present.Hon.J.C Mc-Corkill, the new Treasurer, fresh from his victory in Brome, will attend.The Toronto Board of Trade at a special meeting held last Friday night pronounced unanimously in favor of Right Hon.Joseph Chamberlain’s trade policy.Mr.YV.K.McNaught, chairman of the Tariff Committee of the Canadian Manufacturer’s Association, says the manufacturer heartily agree with the Chamberlain resolution passed by the Board of Trade.At New York the second conviction on charges of extortion was recorded against Sam Parks.To the Ratepayers, City of Sherbrooke : McManamy can’t wait.As you have probably seen by the newspapers another and important movement towards forcing municipal ownership of electric light on the ;ity without your consent was made on Wednesday night last, when at a special meeting the contract for a log dam at the Basin was awarded to Mr.Robert Arkley.Mr.Arkley’s first tender was $40,000, but 1 understand was reduced by him, provided he would not be required to put ip tamarack, which w'as scarce and expensive.This apparently was satisfactory and as the only members present, except the pro-Mayor, Councillor Royer, were Conn ciMor McManamy ami his subservient followers, the matter was closed in about fifteen minutes.This contra .t, with the original cost of the Basin Power land and amount expended for surveys, reports and plans, say, $12,000, brings the expenditure up to one-sixth of what it is estimated will be necessary before the plant is in full running order.This $50,000 in pennies would make a very respectable dam for present quantity of water now running at that point.Councillor Mac.evidently considers he is so secure vv th his solid majority that ho can afford to go on, dispensing with any form of courtesy or business methods.Perhaps he should not be held responsible for the former, but surely after twenty years’ service in the Council he should know that the minority have the right when appoint ed on committee to be consulted, instead of taking the matter wholly into his own hands as he has done in many instances during the past year, but notably in connection with this Electric Light and Power matter, throughout the whole negotiations with the company, the engineers, asking for tenders, etc., etc.I believe the com mit tee have only been calhtl together twice, certainly not more than three times.The construction of a dam made of best square timber, as you are aware, has been condemned by Messrs.Ross A Holuate, but a LOG DAM constructed on the plans prepared by the ( ity Engineer they condemn as a waste of money and totally unfit for such a plant as it is proposed to put in.Thi s is the position of matters at the present time and I am sure will afford food for reflection to the rate flayers who will have to foot the bills.Now I wish to submit some information in regard to the result of municipal ownership in other places which 1 bvl confident will prove quite a ur-priso to those who have heard on:y one side of thî question.ELECTRIC LIGHT OWNERSHIP FAILURES.The City of Throe Rivers expended about $3*2,000 in an electric light plant, and, after running it for some three years, and it proving a failure, sold it for $8,000.There are some twenty-six other places given by the Mayor where municipal ownership has failed, hut for want of room we are obliged to omit them.M UN K I PA L OYV N ERSH1F CREASES TAXES.1N- 60 on $1,000, now it is $17.10.Reading, Mass., levy in 1807 was 815.50 on $1,000, now it is $17.50.fmj; jjn ^uouquoD eqi uq *uoq«zT[T

better and called it $09.>3.but the city clerk of Little Rock reported to the Mayor that lights cost $S0.b3 per lamp per year.AUSTIN, TEXAS.— The risk a municipality incurs when it adopts muni cipal ownership is shown by the ex perianoe of Austin.They invested $1.750.000 in an electric light ami water works plant.Contracts were made with the two street railways to furnish them with power from the city plant.In a short time the water began to fail and they had to shut off all lights and power, finally shutting down the entire plant.This compelled one of the railroads to haul their cars with mules, while the other rented lo comotives from the Houston and Texas railroad.The city was left in darkness for weeks.As a climax to the municipal enterprise, and while the city was on the verge of bankruptcy caused by munieipal ownership, the dam, which was built to furnish power and lights for the city gave way and swept the electric light plant and water works away, utterly wrecking and destroying the entire business, wiping out over one hundred buildings in tlie city and leaving it in darkness as well as destitute of water for lire or domestic use, and entailing n loss of over $3,000,000.Now, the taxpayers have to provide for the debt of 81.750.000 expended in establishing the municipal plant and the interest upon the same, as well us the immense damage caused by the failure of the dam, and the consequent lo^s to indiv iduals, for which the city is liable; while they have nothing to show for all the expenditure or these liabilities—everything is wrecked.Here we have a practical illustra tien of the workings of municipal own ei^bip and the risks a municipality ns sr.mes when they engage in a business enterprise.The advocates of the sys tem said—adopt and save a mint of money.Experience discloses an en of mous loss.COST WHEN TRt E ACCOUNTS ARE RENDERED.Scores of statements have been made by the advocates of municipal ownership, showing that the total cost in ccitain cities of an arc light, wheie the city owned the plant, was from 8.)5 to 850 per year.Yet, the Gas and Electric Light CominisGoncrs of Massachusetts, who are furnished with sworn statements of the munici pal plants, and then send an export to examine their books and verify the costs, find that the average of all the municipal plants in the State using 1,200 candle power arc lights is $99.45, only burned 2,118 hours per year.How are these advocates of municipal ownership to explain the reason for this great difference in the cost in Massachusetts and the plants which they quote.Of course, there can be but one reson given in Massachusetts.The true facts and actual cost is shown, while, in the cases reporte! by these advocates, in other cities, they simply give a part of the operating expenses and the rest are charged to other departments, and interest, depreciation, taxes, and sinking fund, are entirely ignored, as is shown in the report of Chief Walker, of Philadelphia, when lie reported cost of operating a municipal plant: Made no charge for the services of a superintendent.No provision for a machinist.No charge for the removal of ashes No charge in the cost of

there are a huge number of municipal owned plants, all under control of State Uom-missioners, as has been shown l>efore, and the result is that the average cost in that State for 1,260 candle power arc lights, burned 2,148 hours per year, is $>99.15, as AGAINST $60 IN SHERBROOKE FOR 2,000 C.V.ARC LAMPS.BURNED 4,000 HOURS IT RNI SHED BY PRIVATE COM PANY.1 also venture to say, that if in other places the same form of accounting way adopted the results would be no line favorable.How then can we hone for better results here where it is proposed to develop l NCEIM AIN POWER twenty miles away and transmit it.Then it must be borne in mind that the disaster that occurred in Austin, Texas, ns descrilied in this letU»r, may overtake us.YY’e certainly are more liable to it if the cheap dam which is contracted for is built.Councillor Mc-Manumy and his followers claim they know all about the business and assure us that it will pay handsome div idends, besides furnishing light at a much lower rate, but we an* not sure of always having such able men at the helm.Where could we replace men of the calibre of Councillors Me-Mr.namy, Codere, et al?Tlu*se questions give food for thought, and I strongly advise going slow.In this connection I might remind the citizens that Councillor McManamy has admitted he was not sincere in his oiler made to the electors on iiomiua tion day, to put in a plant himself YN hen a resolution was passed in the Couneil accepting his offer ho was most anxious to vote against it, ns he evidently was not disposed to invest a dollar of his own money in ihe enterprise, but is willing and anxious to invest the city’s money.Is there a “Nigger” in the fence?One of tlie strongest arguments used, in season and out of season by Councillor McManamy and his followers, is that the ownership of the water has been such a profitable investment for the city that the same re-wits must, as a matter of course, follow by the city owning an elcclric light and power plant.1 have always maintained that the city was too new in the business ns yet to be able to say whether the ownership of the water was really so successful as claimed..One n ill piean , nir u

This is all very well hut what about the old things that have stood the test of time ?Now there is “The D it L” Emulsion ; everybody knows you cannot find a better preparation for all Lung troubles.Eleven Poisoned In State Hospital.BELLADONA WAS THE CAUSE AND AN INVESTIGATION WILL BE HELD.The accidental poisoning of eleven inmates of the State Hospital at Tewksbury, near Lowell, Mass., with belladonna Tuesday night, is being made the subject of a searching investigation by the State Board of Charity, represented by Dr.Colcord, as well as by the hospital authorities Walter Fit/.gerald, aged 76, an inmate, is dead, but the hospital authorities assert that his death was due to myocarditis, and positively deny that he was one of those who received the poison.Dr.Colcord has gone to Tewksbury wherte every facility has been placed at his disposal by Superintendent Nichols to the end that responsibility may be placed.NASHUA, N.H.We were very glad to see so many of our friends from Dudswell «and Brookbury, who came down on the excursion to Boston.Those that called on us were : Mr.Thos.Bishop, of Bishop’s Crossing, and Mrs.Thos.McColey, of East Dudswell, also Mr.I Willie Downs and Lewis Bennett, from Brookbury.We arc very sorry to hear of the death of Mrs.Levi Bishop.He h«a9 our sympathy in his affliction.Mr.Howard Saunders has been very sick for some time, hut at present is able to be out, but not able to work.He is thinking some Of go-! ing back to Canada this fall or next ' spring.He has sold out his grocery business to Mr.Winters.| Cyril Bishop, who has been very sick with quinsy, has resumed work again.DEATHS IN A TORNADO.Faultu Kidneys Imperil Lite.Don’t Experiment With Cheap, Dangerous Nostrums.Get the Unfailing Sure Cure Ferrozone.Thousands are kept in perfect health and free from -vidney complaints by Ferrozone.Among those who speak in the most laudatory terms of Ferrozone is Mr.Chas.K.Olive, of the Gazette, St.John, N.B : “For several years f have had kidney trouble," says Mr.Olive, until quite recently I suffered torture.A few months ago my condition assumed a \ery serious form.I consulted se\eral city doctors, used different pills, but without the slightest benefit.I suffered from an intense pain in the groin, and the increasing seriousness of my trouble prompted me to try Ferrozone.It gave me quick relief, and half-a-dozen boxes cured.Kroozone I can recommend as a specific for disordered kidneys."—Charles F.Olive.Ferrozone not only cures kidney complaint, but also such maladies as Rheumatism, Gout, Sciatica, Skin Eruptions, Diabetes, Lassitude and Nervousness, which are caused by defective kidneys.It neutralizes and destroys all poison in the system, cleanses the blood and invigorates enfeebled energies.It is mild, gentle and certain.Costs 50c per box, or six boxes for $2.50.At druggists everywhere, or by mail from the Ferrozone Company, Kingston, Ont.Don’t fail to get Ferrozone at once— it will make you well.Canadian Loyalty Cannot be Purchased.Mr.Beckett, Conservative M.P.for Whitby, Yorkshire, addressing a large meeting at Scarborough, England, said that if Mr.Chamberlain meant £2,500,000 was to make all the difference between the union or separation of the Empire, they were taking a disproportionate view of the things which bound or separated the Empire ; they were not going to render the colonies loyal by a paltry bribe of £2,500,000, if they were disposed to be disloyal without it.The English consumer would pay £6 to put £1 into the pockets of the colo- TRAINING CAMP FOR MILL TAR Y INSTRUCTION.Ottawa, Nov.2.—Lord Dundonald and Lieut.-Col.Higgar have left Ottawa in order to choose a site for a new training camp for instruction of officers and non-commissioned officers of miUtia.Their movements are being kept secret.No Trace of Missing Steamer.Elijah Dowie Leaving New York.Sydney, N.S.W., Nov.1.—The British cruiser Mildura, which with foul other ships sailed from here on Thursday in search of the British steamer Ovalau, then eight days overdue from Norfolk Island, with 25 passengers on board, returned to port this morning, having found no trace of the missing vessel.WILL CURTAIL HIS VISIT.John Alexander Dowie addressed a slim audience at the early service on Wednesday in New York, on the Eleienth Commandment, his own addition to the decalogue, the wording being “Love ye one another." Dr.Dowie said that he had come to New York because he loved the people of the city, and he said the people of New York do not love him because of the vicious and untrue attacks made by him on tbe newspapers.At the “healing service," Dowie said, alter an attack on church newspapers : “For many years I have held the political power in Chicago, and I control over 50,000 votes there.Whatever way 1 say the election shall go, it goes, and I shall have the same power here some day.“Fifty thousand votes wTould control the situation, if I had them, and in five years I will control that number in this city." Mr.Dowie settled with Robert M.Farley, who sued him for $1,060 for his legal services in defending J.Luther Pierson, the former Dowie follower, arrested for allowing his child to die without a doctor.Dowie has decided to end his campaign in New York one week earlier than originally planned, according to a notice posted at Madison Square Garden today.This was an announcement made by General Superintendent of Transportation Peters, that “all excursions from New York to It is said that Dowie will remain Zion City will leave on Monday." some days after the “army" leaves.WAGES OF C.P.R.ENGINEERS Winnipeg, Nov.1.—A committee of locomotive engineers from Pacific, Western and Central division of the C.P.R.left for Montreal yesterday with the result of the poll of the engineers on the revised wages schedules which were presented to the management.The poll is unanimous in supporting the new schedules.It is understood that a meeting between the company and the engineers will be held in Montreal on Thursday.Got Lame Back?No need of that now.That sort of pain can be knocked out in short order, for Poison’s Nerviline, which is five times stronger than any other, penetrates at once through the tissues, reaches the source of suffering, drives it out and thus gives relief almost instantly.Not magic, but strength that gives Poison’s Nerviline this power, you will think it magic, however, if you try it, pain goes so quickly.Sold by dealers everywhere, in large 25 cent bottles.$60,000 Fire Loss Quebec.CRUISERS RETURN AFTER SEARCH FOR THE S.S.OVALAU.A summary of the annual report of the Montreal Street Railway Company shows a big increase in receipts, but a decrease of $6,000 in net earnings, owing to the strikes of the year.Mr.Andrew Carnegie renews his threat of retaliation against Great Britain by the United States in the event of a preference being given to the colonies.Oklahoma City, October 31.—A tornado last night demolished most of the houses at Hydro, near here, killing three persons and fatally injuring several other».Bristol’s Pills PURELY VEGETABLE.The very best remedy for the radical cure of Dyspepsia, Headache, Dizziness, Jaundice, Biliousness, and all disorders of the STOMACH AND BOWELS 9 Prof U: Hodgson Ellis, Official Analyst to the Dominion Government, reports that '‘Sunlight Soap has a thorough cleansing power without danger to the clothes or skin-11 Octagon Bar Soap Aftk for thr Ortaxon Itar For Laundry Farm For Sale REDUCES EXPENSE INSURANCE ÆTNA ALLIANCE, COMMERCIAL UNION, GUARDIAN, HARTFORD LANCASHIRE, LONDON, NORTH BRITISH & M ERCA N TILE,\ QUEEN, ROYAL, WESTERN.Sherbrooke’s Leading Fire Insnrance Office, Established 1875.McCarthy Block Bell Phone 111 29 Strathcona Sbuare.Peoples Phone These Fire Insurance Companies with a Combined Capital of over SIOO.OOO,000.00 are represented by W.S.DRESSER & CO.CODERE’S AD.at LARGE BUSINESS BLOCK BAD LY SCORCHED.One of the most extensive and im-portant business blocks of St.Roch, a threo-storey brick building on St.Joseph street, near Bridge street, belonging to the Nadeau estate, Quebec, was badly scorched by a fire which was discovered at 6.30 o’clock Friday morning.The building was occupied by the crockery store of Martel & Martel, the clothing store of Goodman and the large shoe store of J.II.Begin.The fire started in the upper part of the building, occupied by Armaly, photographer.The cause of the fire is unknown.The stocks of Martel & Martel, Goodman and Begin were badly damaged by water and smoke.There was also considerable damage by smoke and w«ater tc^ A.Fortin’s and S.C.Lacroix’s dry goods stores.The damage is estimated at about $60,000 ;
