TotMl Amount to .!.;.-, V-'O.SO. A Remarkab'e Experiencet 1 An Owen Sound man disappeared while c moving a week ag) last Friday, and his canoe was f.iuod floating in the hay. The Advertiser of Thursday last gives the sequel thus : All anxioly regarding ihe fate of Mi. Win. Fraser, whose empty canoe was found in the bay last Friday, and whom it was fe ired had met an untimely ilriith in its waters, were set at rest Tuesday afternoon when a message fr.nn Mr. Fiaser himself was received at the Hell Telephone Go's office here st.iting that 1 e was nt Mr. Jowph Dudgnon's farm near iJli'itsworth. The news that he was sife spread like wildtirc around town, ami in a short time Mr. Kilpatrick, Dr Murray, (i. K. Holmes, and G. i). Fleming went out in Mr. Fleming's cur to bring hi'ii home. Fearing i hit ho might have suf- fered fiom exposure in the live days that t.c had been ivanJeiing, the doctor had him taken ti the hust;i-al, but by vYed- ntsd.iy iii'irning he was ijiiite liuiiw f again and able to come down t i 'he company 's office. There he told his story. Ho left ihe Owen .Sound g.irage in his canoe Thurs- day evening between seven and eiv:ht, .in I went down closo t<i the west sluuo- until near Roysto:i Park when lie heauc.l out towards thu old Carney wharf. He was, as nearly as he couM judgj, ab>ut a third of the way across the bay when the canoe struck a log H taiiiig with on; end close to the surface commonly known as a " deadheu.i." At the time it was growing dark, hut 'le could distinguish the shore line, ^Th<; canoe was upset and lit* was thrown into the water. He re- membered being in the water, but after l hat all is a blank until Tuesd ,y after- noon, when he found biuiHelf in a berry patch near the railway track. Ha wni c">ld and -i if. and his clothes were wet and muiidy. Making his way to the nearest house he enquired his whi-rc- ili.nr-. and found thtt he was on Ah'. I 'n. i.'.- m's farm in II 'I'aml t/twuship. Being pi-rfectly familiar with all the country around Owen S >und, he at ome kni-w where lie wa, and telephoned to the otti ;e here. Hi; h-id .j.ii'e los~ hack of the lapse ..f time, and could harlly be convinced that the iceidimt, to the canoe ha I not happened just ihe night before. While wait 'tig for his friends to arrive he was maae m comfortable as possible, and vthen they cunu lie was fjuiing much better. K\eryone in < hven Sound and Ihe nvighliorliood, where he was very well known, is deliuhted at the happy termi- nation of the suspense following his dis appearance. Search parties had been drugging the buy aud patrolling its hor. s since Friday afternoon, and MOIIU are nioic glad than the sraichcrs thnt he is alive and well. And we need say noth- ing about the feelings of liis mother and yoimt! wife, who had siiifored most nr- rible anxR'ty, on wi.-lcomiiig him Lack, ag it wort, from the giave. The case is one of the most remark- able th.it has ever happened in tluso parts. We cannot attempt to account foi it. but one the. >ry is tint in falling from i he canoe lie may have struck some- thing that fur the limn produced a pai- ily i- of the metitil process, and that n this condition he mechanically swam ashore and wandered otV. The shock of striking the co'd water might produce the same effect. A few days ngo a wild flax plant was found in J. M. Liycock's s'rawberry patch and upon investigation it was found to contain 24(!~ well deve'opi d seed puds, besides many that would have niilured, if left. Several of the pi ds were opened ai.d each cuiuai'ud '.1 . ds so allowing -0 seeds to the pod this one plinL produced something over 4!l,:!< seeds. Is it any wonder our farms have some weeds !

Aug. 4. - - Despite the feelins here that Great Britain is committed to war in Kurcpe there is nevertheless a strong minority op- posod to the nation Involving itself in th struggle. John Uiicns, President of the Local Government Hoard, resigned last night from the Cabinet, in view of the disagreement over the war policy of the Government. A late report said Viscount Morley, I-ord President of the Council, was considering his re- signation. A small group of Radicals during the period of adjournment of the House of Commons met and passed a resolution that after hearing Sir Kd- ward Grey's speech they were of the opinion that there was noi sullicient reason in the present circumstances for f'.reat Britain intervening in the war and nrginn tile Government to continue negotiations with Germany with a view to maintaining British neutrality. Philip E. Morreli,. Liberal member for Burnley, said the "best that could be said tor the Entente after eight years wus that it was going to land kngland itno a war simply because a few German soldiers wanted to cross Belgium. The Laborltes joined in the protest, declaring that it was a war made by the diplomatists, not by the people. J. Kelr Hardie asked what action was going to be taken to alleviate the sufferings of those who would be hard pressed by the war. He said he would do all he could to arouse the worklngmeu against the propos- als of the Government. ITALY'S CASK CRITICAL. She Is In Danger of Attack From Both Sides. ROME, Aug. 4. The head of the Italian military staff conferred yes- terday with the leading generals and admirals of the Italian army as to the plan of campaign in case of Italy being drawn into the European war. It was pointed out in authoritative circles that Italy's situation would be a most critical one if the other powers of tj} Triple Alliance were brought face to r'nce with those of the Triple Entente. The combined Anglo-French navy it was argued wou'd then have at. its mercy the coasts of Ihe Mediterran- ean und Ionian .-Sens, and It was thouK'n "'at rtreat Britain wot:!d oc- cupy .SU-ily, while France migli! sdV S.-v-'ini; . iv: sin ilreatcr.cd to do in . i : .
