New goods are now being received daily.Don’t go elsewhere to buy before seeing our stock.The Town after tin* nominations were in, a report of which appeared in Friday's issue, was well attended.The speakers were : Dr.Pelletier, Mr.Delisle and Mr.Davidson, Montreal, anti Mr.J.S, Broderick for the Liberals.Mr.Panneton, Mr.Beaubien, Monteeal, and Mr.H.R.Fraser spoke on behalf of the Conservatives.Mr.VV.H.Lovell, return!ng-ofti-eer, presided, and by mutual agreement each side had an hour and a half in which to speak.The representatives of both sides were given a respectful hearing.Dr.Pelletier was the first speaker.He spoke in French and was well received.He stated that although he was fighting against Mr.Panneton he wished it to be ; distinctly understood that it was .no personal contest, but it was against the Conservative party.Mr.L.E.Panneton followed.He : received a cordial reception.He j dealt at length on the Government, dissolving the House at this time.| He claimed that it was unfair to, the electors of the Province and ! unconstitutional.Mr.J.S.Broderick, for the Liberals, who was received with ap-, plause, said that they had just emerged from a very interesting electoral struggle, which was one of the closest in the history of this constituency, the majority being but 31.The question which natu-•ally occurrea to the popular mind was, why after going thrugh the turmoil of a gene ralelection they should be plunged again into another general election for the Province.The only real attack which the Conservatives could make upon the Parent Government was the fact that Hon.Mr.Parent saw fit to advise the Lieut.-Governor to dissolve the Legislature a few days peeled the House to dissolve, ami the question was talked about in the newspapers, and Liberals and Conservatives alike, all over the Province before the Federal elec lions took place, were aware that the Provincial elections would fol low.The Opposition went so fai as to say that the Provincial elections would be held before the Federal Parliament was dissolved, in order to feel the pulse of tin Province for the Laurier Government.The Province was to help out the poor Laurier Government.Well, the Laurier Government went to the country first, and he believed something happened on the 7th of November last which went to show that they possessed the confidence of the countiy.The dissolution of the Provincial Legislature was in accordance with Liberal principles, and the Liberal in terpretation of constitutional Gov eminent.When the head of a government is removed by death or otherwise, it was necessary that an appeal to the people should be I made and ask them for the con-.In matiou of the appointment.The ! dissolution of the House was also I made on economic grounds, as j when a general election is on, the commerce and business of the country was interrupted.Continuing, Mr.Broderick was pro ceeding to say that Mr.Panneton would be on the Opposition bench es, when one in the audience said that Mr.Panneton was all right, to which Mr.Broderick replied “ Yes, he is all right and they would keep him right heie in Slier brooke.” He then referred to the fact that what Mr.Panneton had done at Quebec was only what he had been sent there for.Me claimed that while Mr.Panneton might have been responsible for an extra judge being placed at Sherbrooke, he (Mr.Panneton) was True Economy The difference of cost between a good and a poor baking powder would not amount for a fam= Hy’s supply to one dollar a year.The poor powder would cost many times this in doctors’ bills.Royal Baking Powder may cost more per can, but it insures a little perfect.wholesome food.In fact, it is more economical in the end, because it goes further in leavening and never spoils the food.Royal Baking Powder used always in making the biscuit and cake saves both health and money.You cannot, if yon value good health, afford to use cheap, low-grade, alum baking pow ders.They are apt to spoil the food ; they do endanger the health.All physicians will tell you that alum in food is poisonous.ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK T, BELANGER.145 Wellington Street, Sign of the Maple Leaf Workman’s Opportunity ! THE ELECTRICAL CITY OF CANADA.Mechanics, laborers, etc., have a splendid opportunity to better their condition by coming to Shawinlgan Falls.The enormous amount of cheap water power has induced large manufacturing concerns to locate here, and a number of mills are now being erected.Skilled and unskilled workmen of all kinds are required now.Good wages will be paid and work will be regular and steady.The erection of a large pulp and paper mill, on which work has just commenced, will provide employment for several hundred artisans and laborers for many months to come.On completion many hundred hands will be required to take permanent positions at high wages.Shawinlgan Falls, the Electrical City of Canada, is on the St.Maurice River, twenty-one miles above Three Rivers.It is in the centre of a beautiful country, the climate is exceedingly healthy, and as the town has been laid out on model lines, with all modern city conveniences, it is an ideal spot in which to make your

authorities which had been quoted by Mr.Panneton with regard to the dissolution of the House, the step taken by the Government was a wise one and in the interests of the Province.The Conservatives, however, were expecting the House to be dissolved, and they had a living proof in the the County of Sherbrooke that they believed such an event would occur.When Mr.John McIntosh was nominated for the last Federal elections by the Conservatives, they aNo saw fit, foreseeing this dissolution, to couple his name with Mr.Panneton's at the same convention-(applause).Why did the Conservatives do this if they expected that the elections would not take place until within a year or so.The Conservatives here cx- or to lie the Dealers are obliged to keep the Genuine MAGI Caledonia Springs Water in stock or lose trade.Accept no substitute.yea by his friends, would have been appointed bench.He closed oy urging upon the electors to support Dr.Pelletier, who would be able to do much more for the county than Mr.Panneton, because he would be on the side of tin* Government.Mr.C.Beaubien followed.He replied to Mr.Broderick's statements with regard to the dissolution and asked why, if it was Liberal principles to go to the country when a change in the Prime Minister took place they did not goto the country in Ontario, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.That argument would not hold with the intelligent electors.The fact was that the Parent Government wanted to make hay while the sun was shining, and get another lease of |>ower on the race cry which had been raised in this Province.Mr.Broderick, he said, had put forward the statement that there beinj?six vacancies in the legislature it was necessary to have a dissolution.He (the sjeaker) maintained that no government had a right to spend •75,000 of the funds belonging to the people, when the constitution distinctly stated that that amount ly' list of constituencies which went by acclamation, the greatest enthusiasm prevailed.Mr.Fraser said that he did not come prepared to make a speech, but he took very great pleasure in addressing a few remarks in support of Mr.Panneton.It seemed to him that it was unnecessary to refer to what Mr.Panneton has done for Sherbrooke County.He must say that he was greatly surprised to read in the report of a Liberal meeting that Mr.Panneton ilid nothing for Sherbrooke.They knew better than that.Mr.Panneton had done just as much as it was possible for any man to do at Quebec.He had listened to the remarks of the Liberal speakers, and they all seemed to centre in the theme thatDrPelletiershoiild be elected because the Liberal Government would be returned to power.He had nothing to say against Dr.Pelletier.In fact, they were all a mutual admiration family and were all good friends.Supposing the Liberals were going back to power he did not think that they should change their allegiance in Mr.Panneton.He did not think that the cry of the Liberals to elect Dr.Pelletier because he would be in with the Government would influence the vote very much in Sherbrooke County.He dial lenged the statement that Mr.Panneton had never done anything for Sherbrooke.He was instrumental in getting a grant passed for the new Court House, grants for the Exhibition, and had also secured other grants, all in the interests of the County of Sherbrooke, There were numerous other things which he had done for the County.Mr.Panneton, he contended.would get the support of the rank and file of the Conservative party throughout the countv, and they hoped to return him to Quebec.* (applause).Mr.Davidson, Montreal, gave a dear, concise statement of the affairs of the Province.He pointed out how the Liberals were aide with about #200,000 less revenue to come out with a surplus of $23,000.He asked them to support Dr.Pelletier, because if they returned Mr.Panneton it would show to the Province that the electors of Sherbrooke were against a Government that was progressive and carried on the affairs of the Province in a business-like way.He concluded by urging upon the electors to vote for Ijr.Pelletier because he was well fitted to be their representative.Mr.Panneton then addressed the meeting in English.He spoke of the good feeling which had prevailed throughout the meeting.They had been asked to vote for Dr.Pelletier because he was a friend of the Govern ment, and would be able to get many favors.He did not think that was a just claim.The Conservatives had been eighteen years in i>ower, and never in Sherbrooke at any rate had that cry been raised.Referring to Mr.Davidson's remarks with regard to the financial condition of the 1*.„ vince, he |K>inted out that according to the blue books there was ’O- .______ _ _ I V Ï lw> i wiiii stavA _ KlriAs1 tK’ i ,t.k Opposition were without funds 1 they had Mr.ana they had not yet recovered from the fight in the Federal elections Mr.Delisle, Montreal, spoke in French, and his remarks were well received.When he read the long paying cneir account IcManamy—You are including the capital expenditure in these figures.Mr.Panneton eaid that he was, but that was the same way that the Liberals ficits while the in power.ay figured out the de-eConservatives were Mr.McManamy Capital is not expenditure.Mr.Panneton The Conservative deficit includes booth.Mr.McManamy Your deficit does not include capital.Mr.Panneton said that Mr.McManamy was too much of a partisan to give fair play and he it was who stated that he had done nothing for the County.His friends have been more generous, because they gave him credit for what he had done for the County.He (Mr.Panneton) had obtained some $37,500 in grants for the exhibition, #12,500 in 1895, and in 1890 #25,000.to be paid in yearly sums of #5,000.He would like them to point out anything that he had not done.They had merely stated that he had done nothing for the County of Sherbrooke, lie had secured a grant of #10,000 for colonization purposes, $100 for the Ploughmans Association, and he had also secured a second judge for the District of St.Francis.Mr.McManamy Because you expected to get it yourself.Mr.Panneton said he had done the work of their representative to the best of his ability, and hoped that on the 7th December they would again return him to Quebec (applause.) Dr.Pelletier said he wished to say a few words in English.They had heard Mr.Beaubien say that he was very much disappointed that the elections were called so soon, and that the Conservative party had no money to go into the fight.It showed how the Conservatives had run their elections in the past, (laughter) It did not make any difference to the Liberals.They had always been poor, and they would go into this fight on their principles and they need not care for their money or cigars- (laughter.) He would have the pleasure between now and election to call upon every elector and if he was unable to call upon anyone he hoped they would understand that lie was with them in spirit, and that they would give him their vote on the 7th of December next (applause.) Mr.McManamy said that he did not come to the meeting with the intention of making any remarks, but Mr.Panneton had quoted figures by which he endeavored to wipe out the surplus, which the Quebec Government had at the end of the year.He quoted figures which placed the expenditure and capital account together.That was not correct because the money invested on public works, «fcc., the county had value for, whereas the expenditure was simply the running expenses of the country.It Mr.Panneton wanted to be fair he should have taken the five years from 1892 to 1897, during which the Conservatives were in power, and he would find that the Conservatives in veste* l nine million dollars which was not charged against them.Mr.Panneton endeavored to make the same point in the last Federal elections, but he had to admit when figures were produced that he was only 11 million dollars out, and he endeavoured to make the same point today.Mr.Panneton also claims that he was responsible for the grant to the Agricultural Exhibi-hition, but grants to that institution were given before Mr.Panne-son went to Quebec and they would be given long after he had left it, just as long as the Exhibi-bition deserved it.He (Mr.McManamy) might state that when any grant was given there was always a large delegation waited upon the Government, himself among the number, and Mr.Panneton merely presented the requisition.Mr.Panneton now claimed that In?was the one that got the grants.The Conservative party treated Mr.Panneton unfairly when they did not give him the judgeship for the District of SL Francis.The chairman having stated that time was up Mr.McManamy said he wanted to meet Mr.Panneton before the contest was over and he wanted him to take his blue books along with him, and he (Mr.McManamy would have his (applause).The meeting closed by a vote of thanks to Mr.Lovell, the presiding officer, proposed by Mr.Panneton seconded by Dr.Pelletier.The Czar continues to improve, Ten carloads of choice turkeys will be shipped to the English market from London,Out., onTuesday.Handsome Parlor Cabinets No Drawing Room is complete without one of these beautiful and useful pieces of Furniture.We have the largest stock ever offered in Sherbrooke.They are finished in Birch, Mahogany, Piano Polished and filled with British Bevel Mirror.PRICES PROM $8.50 TO $20.They make a suitable X mas Gift for the Ladies’.Hundreds of other Gifts of Furniture now on view.JOHN EDWARDS, 171 Wellingto; SHBKBRO D St., OOKK» O THE EXAMTNER DFCE :r 3, l&OO.WANTED.WASTED—A good Oener»!

erected at a distance of 15 miles apart throughout the length of the whole trail.After the tirst 30 miles from the Missouri river no conch was safe from at tack until it reached San Francisco.It was a misnomer to say the stations were “erected.” Most of them were dugouts—that is.a hole or cellar fout or live feet deep was dug and then covered with slabs of timber to sup port two feet of dirt.The stables were made in the same way, while the hay was stacked.There was generally an underground passage lending from th* house to the stables.House and sta bles were loopholed for rifles, the doors constructed of timber or covered with boiler Iron, and there was not one of them which was not attacked a dozen times over.The Indians could not use tire as a weapon, nor could they carry a station by assault, but they captured many of them by trickery or siege.In no case was the lift* of a company cm ployee ever spared.The distance between stations, with the feeble garri sou maintained at each, prevented any hope of relief in case of attack.Indeed the orders were: “Defend your own station.Only the last man alive is tc break through the Indians if he can.” Never were greater hardihood anti bravery exhibited than by the men se leeted to drive the coaches.Knowing what the risks were, it seems strange that any passengers could have been found to fill them, hut iu the last two years preceding the opening of the Pacific road the coaches averaged five passengers each way, and many of these were women At a few points on the long route a guard rode for a few miles with the coaches, but for most of the distance the driver and passen gets must take care of themselves.There was hardly a week without its tragedy.As the stage toiled through the heavy sand of some strip of desert or met several miles of stony and up hill trail a band of a hundred yelling warriors would suddenly appear.The driver must fight as well as guide his excited team.The passengers fired from the open doors, and if the attack was beaten off it was a case of luck.It was when the Overland company finally appealed to the government to clear its route through Kansas that General Custer was sent out with a brigade of troopers.Fourteen stations bad been attacked and wiped out, aud stages bad ceased to run over a distance of almost 200 miles.Custer could not hope to strike a telling 1>1©wt against the hordes iu the field, but he laid his plans to open the route and drive the Indians back from it.As we followed the trail to the west we picked up station after station showing grewsomo sights.In each and every case a stout defense had been made, but the Indians had prevailed.Kegs of powder had been used to blow open the doors or tear out the roofs, and even though the warriors had lost ten to one they had destroyed the station.Burning Hill was a relay station, with eight men to guard it and care for the extra horses.The last stage from the east had come in after a race of five miles, with the driver and three male passengers wounded—some of them twice and three times.It was one of the largest and most defensible stations on the route, and there w’as no thought of anything but beating the Indians off, no matter what their force.Custer’s whole command witnessed the arrival of the last stage from the w’est, the last for several weeks.From a hilltop three miles from the trail, with impassable gullies between, we saw the concli come up the trail with 100 Indians pursuing it.It was a running fight, which amused every man to the highest pitch of excitement, but we were helpless to extend aid.Through the clear air of a summer's afternoon we saw the stage horses shot down and the conch overtaken.The passengers made a brave fight to the last, but not one of them escaped.It was night before we iind made our detour and reached the station, and the Indians had departed long liefore.They had captured the station two hours before they attacked the stage.It had held out against them for three days, and it was not until 40 Indians had been killed or wounded that they got possession of it by «Jigging under tlie walls and using a keg of powder.If Burning Hill bad failed to hold out, how would it be with Pawnee Flat, the next station to the west, and with White Horse, the next after that?The first was n four man station ami the next a relay with eight.As we rode away through the night not a man had the slightest hope for Pawnee, though we knew it would have been defended as long ns one of the four could lift a gun.We reached it at about 11 o’clock.It was as we bad Oscar Wilde died in an obscure 1 building in Paris on Friday.Sir Adolphe Caron continues steadily to improve.Reginald Howell, a Brantford, Ont., boy who enlisted in the South African Light Horse, has been recommended for the Victoria Cross for swimming across the Tu-gela River to capture a ferry and rescue the life of a comrade who had become exhausted.feared.Over 300 Indians had swarm ed down out of the hill* at daybreak the morning lief ore.aud.though they had lost a score of men, the dugout had been carried by assault and its defenders butchered.We waited here half an hour to give the poor corpse* burial and then puslusl on toward White Horse.It was not until we got within two miles of the station that our fears were relieved.Then we heard the reports of rifles aud knew that the place was still holding out.The station was situated uU-ut mid w ay of « long.hill.To the west of it was a coulee, or dry ravine, with banks 30 feet high.We had w ith us a couple of scouts who knew every red of the overland trail, aud when w ithin a mile of the station these men were sent forward to sp> out the situation.They returned alter awhile to report flat Spited Iluise and about 150 of ids “dog soldiers.” as the Cheyennes were culled, were laying siege to the station and had evidently occupied the ground for two or three days The ground around the dugout was so open that the Indian* dared not “rush" the place, nor wa> there :m\ show to use a keg of powder without reckless ex posit re.With their allies holding the trail to the east*, tin* Cheyennes had en tered upon a siege iu hopes to siarve the employees out.Their wai ponies and most of the band w* re lying tip in the dry ravine for tin* night.'1*1 is rn vine had no opening to the south and was therefore* a oui de sue.The first signs of dawn were in tin sky when we saddled up, mounted, ami tlie whole of us pushed forward, led by the scouts, for tin* mouth of the rn vine.We had the Sp in er carbines each with a full magazine, and as we got the order to charge each man be gun shooting.When a carbine was empty, it was thrown away and a re volver used in Its place When the revolver was empty, it was cast aside for the saber.Extended from bank to bank, we swept up the ravine, and we had nothing to do hut kill.Taken by surprise, the Cheyennes thought only of getting away.We had scarcely got to work when the eight men who had been cooped up iu the dugout sallied out to take a hand in.and it was made the saddest sunrise the Cheyenne tribe had ever seen.Not a pony could es cape out of that trap.Numbers of the warriors scrambled up the banks and got safely away but nearly every one left Ids weapon* behind.The fight did not last above do minutes, and our loss was only three men wounded.Down in that ravine we harvested 78 dead Indians, aud on the hanks above tlie stage men counted up 2*2 more.We got upward of a hundred rifles, about 50 pistols, 130 ponies and a wagon load of miscellaneous stuff.Every Indian lying there was a dead one.Custer had said, “Shoot to kill.” and there were uo wounded or prisoners.Among the killed were Spotted Horse, Big Moon and White Bird, and that fight broke the backbone of the Cheyenne nation.Their part in the war was to capture all the stations west of Burn iug Hill, but they had only taken Paw nee Flat.They never rode to war again.Within a week they were su iug for peace, and they were the first to be gathered on a reservation.lloW CATARRH IS CURED MAINE, IN f} Ci for if Canada has a good thing why they simply come to Canada for it.This is why Mrs.James A.Tweedie of Jay Bridge, Maine, lias sent for sixteen outfits of Catarrhozone for friends in her locality.This lady gives very full particulars why she done this.Her daughter fourteen years old, had doctored for Catarrh obtaining no benefit, tried lots of other remedies but all failed recommended by a neighbor to try Catarrhozone.Instead of despairing as she had good reason for doing obtained Catarrhozone and before it was done, as she states, she was completely cured.No wonder she recommends it.Child had dropping in the throat, hawking, spitting, father thought she was going into consumption, could not sleep at night and adds: 1 only wish any one suffering from Catarrh to give it a fair trial ; any druggist will enable you to do this for tliey all sell it—your money back if
