Notes:

SOUTH AFRICAN VETERANS.

The G. T. R. station this morning presented some forcible reminders of South Africa, no less than five of the members of the 2nd C. M. R. having passed through on their way to various points. Of these the only one in civilian attire was Mr. Alf. Oelschlager of Berlin, formerly private in "B" squadron. Mr. Oelschlager, while admitting that South Africa, particularly from a money- making standpoint, has some desirable features, thinks there is no place like Canada. Johannesburg, he says, is nothing if it is not in a ferment of excitement and everybody there speculates in stocks. The Boers, he thinks, and he has conversed with quite a number are quite as glad to have the war over as the British are. A comrade of Mr. Oelschlager's in the same squadron was Pte. McEwen, who passed through on the westbound train on bis way to Hensall, where he will shortly go west again to Calgary, Mr. Oelschlager took the train northward bound, being on his way to Sault Ste. Marie and among his fellow-passengen were Ptes. Parsons, Bell and Monkman, all of "O" squadron. Pte. Parsons was bound for Fergus, and Pte. Bell for Lakelet, while Pte. Monkman is going on to Mount Hope. Guelph Mercury.

SAD DEATH
Untimely End of Miss Martha Oelschlager, Daughter of Mr. Alf. Nischlager.

The many friends and acquaintances of Miss Martha Oelscalager, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alf. Oelschlager, Duke street, were greatly shocked this morning when the sad intelligence of her death was received. The deceased suriered from an attack of typhoid fever, and was removed to the B. & W. Hospital last week. Her illness was of a severe nature, but it was confidently expected that she would recover on account of her unusually robust constitution. On Monday, however, her condition became more critical and at an earty hour this morning she passed away. The deceased was in her 17th year, and was a general favorite amongst a large circle of friends. During the last few months she has been employed at Miss Lowes' millinary store. Her untimely demise will, be an irreparable loss to her bereaved parents, and the sympathy of the community will be extended to them, especially to Mrs. Oelschlager, who is at present lying at the Hospital also suffering from a severe attack of typhoid fever. Funeral announcement will appear in tomorrow's Telegraph,
