Government majority. So.
Each side declares its absolute con-
fidence that it's expectations will be
justified.
Not only the fate OF reciprocity but
that OF the Laurier Government hangs
today in the balance, though II 10
quite within the realm OF possibilities
for the electors to defeat reciprocity
without OF necessity driving the Gov
eminent from power This arises
from the fact that among the oppon-
ents Of reciprocity are several mem
bers OF the Liberal Party who are pre-
pared to support the Administration
upon every other question. These
are quite prepared to vote against Sir
Wilfrid on the reciprocity issue. but
that being killed are ready to vote con
fidence In the Government.
Should q sufficient number OF these
Liberals be elected, II is quite posi-
BILE, therefore, to see how reciprocity
may be defeated, for the present at
least, and the Government OF Sir VIII
frid Laurier be sustained In power.
Mr.. Germain, NJ. p. for Welland, Ont,
the only member OF the new House OF
Commons to have been elected by 40
clamation on nomination day, Thurs
day last, is a Liberal OF this class. he
is strong a supporter OF Laurier's
policy that no candidate was nominal
ed against him by the Government
but ne represents fruit-growing con
stItuency on the international bound
airy line whose people dread the com
petition OF fruit growers under reel
procity, and who must therefore him
self vote against the Government on
this issue.
Apparently both political parties
are confident OF success. The Liber-
ais claim that they will not need the
votes Of any opponents OF reciprocity
on either side OF the House TO main
tain the Government In power. The
Conservatives assert that the Admin
istration IL doomed to defeat at the
hands OF purely Conservative ma.
jority In Parliament without need OF
Liberal votes
Unparalleled onlookers know that
although there Is a popular anureci'
procity wave sweeping certain sec
tions OF the country which ia bound "a

ment yet II Ia impossible to forecast
with any approach to certainty the

BRITISH ARMY AVIATOR KILLED

VT ''~N TTN 'THIIN tVV NuINNIy
Lieut.. r. A. Cammell of the British
aviation school at Marlborough was
killed Sunday while making a fight
at Hendon, which is six miles from
the center of London. Cammell was
an experienced aviator and competed
in the British aviation circuit race re-
Gently for the Daily Nails prize, but
yesterday he was making his first
fight in new machine. He COM
pleted the first circuit without mis-
hap and it is supposed that the acct

quickly. The machine turned over

C. p. Rodgers, third aviator to start
on the transcontinental flight for the
Hearst prize. rose sharply from the
turf at Sheepshead Bay l.. l., at AIS
o'clock yesterday afternoon. swept in
a wide circle over the grounds and
then headed northwest until his white
winged flyer merged into bank of
clouds over the Jersey meadows and
disappeared. He drove a Wright BIZ
plane and carried messages from May
or Gaynor to the mayor OF San Fran
cisco and from the commanders Of
the eastern division Of the army and
navy TO the commanders on the Pac-
ific coast.
Flying over New York City, Rodgers
crossed Broadway at 4:45 at a height
of 5000 feet, and covered the mile
from that point across the river in
less than minute. His machine is
said TO have previously attained a
speed of so miles an hour In trials.
AS he flew high over the Hudson all
manner OF river craft gave him a
noisy parting salute with their whis-
ties. He was flying steadily as he
scared over the city, and was evident.

which have troubled other aviators
New York saw Rodgers for the last
time at about 1850 o'clock and at s:07
he was reported as passing over the
Campbellhall Junction, &C miles from
the start, headed for Middletown.
The aeroplane looked almost like
toy at the starting grounds. as ID
measured but 80 feet from tip to tip

A Victim of Typhoid Fever.

News of the death OF Earl Sedgwick
came as a sad surprise to residents of
this vicinity. few of whom anticipated
a fata! termin alton Of his sickness.
The patient had been under medical
treatment a few days when symptoms
Of typhoid developed, and he was
taken t O the Sanitarium last Satur-
day afternoon. The disease made
rapid progress, and the end came
Thursday night.
The deceased was a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. NJ. Sedgwick, of Ada, but
was an occasional resident OF this
city and attended the public schools
here. He vas about % years of age,
and vas an exceptionally bright boy,
Of exemplary habits and scholarly
attachments. Without any particular
training in that line, Mr.. Sedgwick
developed artistic talent of great
promise, having executed oil paint
ings of local scenes that we're greatly
admired by his friends and local
critics.
About a month ago Mr.. Sedgwick
was appointed deputy for his brother,
Lee Sedgwick, in the county clerks
Office, and was becoming an eficien,
and useful assistant when seized with
the fatal sickness. The bereaved
r relatives have the sincere sympathy
of q large circle of friends, among
whom the deceased was so we'll and
] favorably known.

believe that we solicit and en-
courage accounts only from
people who have large sums

This is a mistaken idea. It is
not the case in any sense

licit the small account because
it is from the small deposit
that larger accounts grow.
We are just as ready and will
ing to open an account with
the person who has a small
sum to deposit as with the
person who has one Thousand

receive just as courteous treat
ment and attention as the lat
ter.
Our aim is to serve the peo-
