''Not very long ago there was a case at St, Agnes' Hospital of a woman suf ferlng with cancer. "There was a consultation of physi cians, and I advanced the idea that the woman should be put to death.

Nominations took place in Ontarior for the election on September 21st There are contests in every constituency in the province but one.' In the county of Welland, W, M. German, Liberal, but opposed to reci procity, was selected by acclamation. In east Toronto two conservatives are in the field, but opposing reciprocity. Tha antis therefore start out with a lead of two in Ontario. A proof of the thoroughness of the fight is shown by the fact that in pre vious elections several candidates of each party have been -elected without opposition instead of only one as today. Several electoral districts in the prov ince heretofore, have enj yed the rep utalion of being impervious to new po litical views for the returning their can didates by majorities of from 700 to 8u0. For instance, Wellington, South, Thunder Russell, South Renfrew, South Essex and Prescott have always gone Liberal. On the other hand East Grey, Duffer in, South Leed', South Lanark and East Hastings have been regarded as impregnable Tory strongholds. In this contest, however, strong can didates were nominated tod iy by both parties and the result of the reciprocity issue will be awaited with interest. The political fight in Cainda, which is now at lever neat, is without ques tion the most keenly contested that has been seen in the dominion since Con fed eral ion. For the first time since the Liberal victory in 1896 the conserva tives have a chance of once more con trolling the policy of thj country. Whilejit was a foregone conclusion a few days aft?r the election was announced thtt Sir Wiiifrid Lauior would be re turned with as large or perhaps larger majority, it is now frankly admittsi by Liberals that the issue is doubtful, while conservative.) claim that victory for their cause is assured.

What Others Say of Haag's Shows Without doubt Gulfport never has seen such a crowd of people as were here to see the Mighty Haag Railroad Shows. Both in the sf ternoon and eve ning tie tent 8 were crowded with peo Die. and in the afternoon hundreds could not secure tickets ob the ticket wagon wss closed long before 2 o'clock. Every train du ing the day brought ir o.'oule to see the show, and long befoie time for the parade to make its ap pearance on the streets they were crowded with people anxiou ly awaiting it, and not one was disappointed, a Mr, Haag has spent plenty of lime and money on his parade, making it second to none. Never in the history of Gulf pirt have there been as many pretty girU, funny clowns and good music in one parade. The Gulfport Times is sure it voices the sentiment of the peopl when it says, give us more Bhows like Hagg. (Gulfport Timrs ) WILLIAMS' KIDNEY PILLS Have you neglected your Kidneys?

Not to be outdone by the British postal authori ties in the csrrying of mails through the air, the latest method of letter transportation. Postmaster General Hitchcock gave his consent to the es tablishment of an experimental aero plane mail route between one of the outlying branches of the Brooklyn . (N.

It is probable that a special, postal station will be established at the avia tion field and temporary postmaster .ap pointed by the department to receive and dispatch mails and sell postage stamps. The first successful official aeroplane letter route was that opened last Satur day by the British postal administra tion, which began a series of experi ments in thecorrying of mails by aero planes from Hcndon, England, to Wind sor Castle, a distance of almost twenty miles, Four aviators, with two bip lanes and two monoplanes, were en gaged in the work and about 100,000 let1 ers constituted the first delivery, United States postal authorities are of the opinion that the day when letters will be forwarded from city to city by airshij-B is not far distant Pictures Just Arrived.

Burton. ' , Premier Stolypin May Live Through To Be General -Plot. , Kieve, Russis, Sept IP -Premier . Stolypin, who waa shot down in the , municipal theatre here in the presence of Emperor Nicholas, the heir apparent ' and the grand dutcbess, in aft proba bility will survive his wounds." Late last night the surgeons after consultation ' announced -that the premier's condition was satisfactory. They declared that" no complications were feared and that there were hopes for his recovery. . Details that have thus far come con' ceming the attempt) d assassination of Premier Stolypin, throw no light on the question whether the deed was the work of the revolutionary organization or the act of an individual bearing per sonal malice for the premier.' Bogroff, the man who shot M. Stoly pin, is between 67 snd 68 years ef age. , : He waa exceedingly well dressed. The details of the attack V resembles soroewnai tnoae or tne assassination oi President McKinley, at Buffalo. Dur- 2 ing the first intermission of the opera, -many members of thi audience went forward to shake bonds, with M. Stoly- -pin. Among them wore persons un known to the premier but whom, never 1 theless he met. During the second intermission the . same informality was in progress and ' when Bogroff approached M, Stolypin c the latter interrupted is conversation with Minister of War Sukhomlinoff and faced tbe new comer. The next moment : pistol shots broke the comparative siK enec of the audience. Bogroff.af tor firing ' point blank at the premier, rushed out into the aisle stilt clutching the weapon. Be bad reached a aide exit in his effort to escape, when an offi.-er intercepted hirp. The next moment the would be ' assassin was felled and trodden under foot by angry spectators of his crime. The officer usheathed his sabre and en deavored to drive back the people, but - before he waa abU to accomplish this Bogroff had been,trampled into insensi bility. . " ; ' ' "' A great deal is mads by royalists of the fact that the Czar himself, who was present in the opera house, was not attacked. ," , 1 ' - . The truth is, however, that the Czar was so carefully guarded in the' imper ial box as to render it impossible for an assassin to reach him, ' while the audi- ence, made up almoet wholly of tbe ar istocracy . and its dependents, could hardly have been expected to have any sympathy with a revolutionary demon- siratioa, . In Kieff the general belief is that ter rorists were iu the audience on the lookout for the Czar and other high of ficials, but that Bogrof was the only one who had the chance to carry out his plans.. .t'.' At first it waa thought the Czar had been assassinated, but cries from the. Premier's box of "M. Stolypin baa been shot!" undeceived the audience. The moment the first shot was fired the Secret Service men, who swarmed the theatre, closed aromd the Czar's box, keeping everyone at a distance. Sentence was suspended on Rodney J. Diegle, who was convicted of b.i bery in Ohio. Editor Whic hard's Mother Dead. Greenville, N. C.
