CANADIAN 500 NOW DRY.

The twelve hotels OF the Canadian

last Saturday, this being the date on
which the Ontario Temperance Act
became operative. One wholesale
house was also put out OF business
The 500 Falls Brewing company viii
be permitted to operate, but must sell
it's products outside the Province OF
Ontario. Later. when new licenses
are granted. which will authorize ho-
tells to sell soft drinks and beer not
exceeding 21h per cent alcohol, the
brewery will probably accommodate
itself 10 the manufacture OF the mild
or beverage. Another peculiar feature
of the act, which allows all kinds oil
liquor to be imported for private con-
sumption, will permit the brewery to
sell through agents outside OF abe
province. but this will necessitate
double transportation charges. Under
the temperance act, drug stores may
sell any kind OF liquor in six-ounce
bottles. but only on physicians pre-
scriptions. This feature will mean a
big business for Ontario doctors.
While the new law permits liquor
to be imported for private consump-
ton, the owner is restrained from
treating" visitors, for there is a
heavy penalty for giving away liquor.
A man found on the streets in an in
toxicated condition will be arrested
and held until he reveals the name of
the person selling or giving him the
liquor. Under the Temperance Act,
club rooms are not permitted to keep
any liquor in stock, and individual
members are prohibited from taking
liquor into club rooms. The Ontario
Temperance Act Is one OF the most
stringent laws ever passed in Canada,
and its operation will be watched
with interest There is little doubt
that border American cities will draw
much business from Ontario towns
as drinking men will seek every pos
sible excuse TO do their shopping in
wet" territory. 500 News

BALL PLAYERS IN FRACAS.

At Iron River Frank Cleveland, of
Iron Mountain, was assaulted and
badly injured After the ball game
and az he was leaving the ball park
with the Iron Mountain ball team, a
young lady CD threw a large rock at
the Cleveland auto. breaking the wind
shield of the same. Cleveland stopped
his machine and stepping over to
where the irate damsel was standing
asked why she had thrown the rock,
her name, and demanded pay for the
damage done. She treated his re-
quest with a sneer. whereupon he ap-
pealed TO the ball player who accom-
panied her. After few words the
ball player struck al Mr.. Cleveland
The blow was warded off and Mr.
Cleveland grappled with his assailant.
Al this juncture another ball player
struck Mr.. Cleveland over the eve,
knocking him down. Then several
other members OF the Iron River
Stambaugh team took hand in the
assault by striking and kicking Mr..
Cleveland As soon as the Iron Noun
tain ball players realized what was
going on they rallied TO Mr.. Cleve-
lands help, whereupon his cowardly
assailants skunk away Mr.. Cleve-
lands left eye is badly swollen and
his face bruised. His forehead was
cut by the heel OF the shoe OF one of
the miscreants who kicked him. II
certainly was a cowardly and unpro-
yoked assault, as Mr.. Cleveland was
in no way connected with the city
ball team, except that he had a con
tract TO take the boys to and from
Iron River in his auto-Iron Noun

compositor they still stick to ancient
methods over there was near the

the Office towel which. from us many
weeks OF continuous use had become
as hard and stilf as sole leather, from
its fastening. and It's ragged edge,
striking the unfortunate printer
squarely on the neck. cutting a deep

stitches before the Gaping wound
could be closed up and the flow OF

The timely arrival OF old Doctor
Beasley was the only thing that saved
the man The aged type, one William
Smith of Bradford, Pa, originally,
says he has been forty-six years at
the case. and during that time he

him.

given strict orders TO have the office

In order 10 arouse the citizens and

moval of rubbish, trash. inflammable
material and waste from their prem
Uses.
Concurrent action upon the part of
newspapers. public officials: school

the removal OF fire hazards as not
only to promote beauty and sanitation
throughout the state but TO have a
pronounced influence in lowering the

FULLER FOR AuDIToR-GENERAL.

FULLER FOR AUDITOR GENERAL.
Some reasons have compelled four
consecutive Republican conventions
to nominate Oramel b. Fuller for
auditor-general.
The same reasons remain to urge
his denomination this year
Mr.. Fuller employs in his work the
broadening experience of 25 years in
state public life
He entered the legislature in the
conservative partisan days OF the
early nineties, when the Republicans
regained power in the election OF
John T. Rich as the successor of Gov.
Winans
In those legislative days both in the
house and in the senate Fullers abil-
ity and astutcness made him formid-
able. Even when he temporarily re-
tired from the legislature he was re-
membered as a leader and mentioned
as one still marked for high office.
When he returned to the senate i'm
1907 the old days of pure conservatism
were passing and the new construc-
zionist period had come And some
what astonished state saw the leader
OF constructive conservatism become

1t was ON his progressive record
that Mr.. Fuller was first nominated
for auditor-general. Then the state
saw him in a new light The brilliant
