It seems, howevyer, thal the republicans are still determined to contest his right to the place, charging fraudulent election methods on the part of the opposition. ——— Kickham Scanlan, assistant state’s attorney in the trial of Coughlin, has’ had two spells of sickness recently which the attending physician pronounced clear cases of arsenical poigoning.

wisewhere in this .. ue we pufilish an article on the credit system which is well worth your careful perusal. The eredit system is misused everywhere, but nowhere is the poor thing abused and ridden to death more than it is in Walkerton. Our business men, however, are partly to blame for this state of affairs, as in their leniency with dead-beats they are encouraging and fostering a continuance of this evil, which has now reached an extent here that nothing short of a united and determined effort on the part of ] our business men can ameliorate. Local reform in this matter is needed before business can be conducted on a safe and healthful basis. This reform can be accomplished without working injury to any worthy person. It is the dead-beats and the ones needlessly | slow and careless about paying their | debts that have a demoralizing effect | upon business. 1t is people of this | kidney that our business men should | get after with a sharp stickk and bring to a reckoning. The fellows who | haven’t neither the brains nor sense of

A WRECK ON THEB. & 0. A Passenger Train thrown from the Track at Bremen. : Train No. 46, a passenger and express, east bound, was wrecked at ‘Bremen Monday night about 10 o’clock. ‘i‘he wreck was caused by a broken rail. The train was speeding along at the rate of 60 miles an hour when the accident occurred and all the cars, seven in all, were thrown from the track, several of them being badly damaged. One of the express cars was broken completely in two. The passengers were badly frightened and jarred up, but none of them seriously hurt. Baggage-master Smith received a number of slight bruises about the head, but the balance of the train men escaped uninjured. It seems almost miraculons that all on l board should escape so fortunately. l FEUD MAY BE THE RESULT. | T STTET L T
