A fust offender for drunkenness was brought before Mr Fraser J.P, yesterday and was convicted and discharged. On Sunday evening constable Forster effected the arrest of A. A. Armstrong for theft on a warrant issued from Napier. Messrs P. Hennessy and Co are expecting a cargo of Coalbrookdole coal in, by steamer, on Thursday. Mr Osborne has removed his tailoring business next to Mr Loveday's drapery establishment. The conference of the chairman of the local bodies interested in the Wirokino bridge will be held at Foxton on Monday next. ; Mr Fraser, late of the s.s. Himatangi, has purchased the s.s.

Arnold-Forster in a letter to the London Times states thr.t an ordinary miner in Johannesburg get* I £30 a month, while his board and j lodging cost but £6 10s a month. Lord Roberts has placed his military I secretary (Major-General Sir W. G. ; Nicholson) in charge of the main I advance. This it has been found necessary to re-organize, and the last, being one of exceptional difficulty, has not unnaturally devolved upon one of the most able and experienced officers in Lord Roberts' force. As the work of reorganizing such a mass ot transport wiil occupy all Sir William Nicholson's time, it has been necessary to make a fresh appointment to the military secretaryship. A very fair example of the value of protection. Mr McKenzie president of the Match Makers Union said, at the meeting of the Board -of Conciliation that — "Match-making here was practically indirectly subsidised by the Government with a heavy protective duty in its favour, and it was never intended that the profits should go Home to swell the receipts of the English firm."— Just so ; the profits of any protected industries generally go to the manufacturing firms until they rise in price to the cost of the imported goods. Mr McKenzie cares nothing for the public, but he wants more pay for the match makers employees. Mr C. H. Mills is to be senior Government whip this session' and will be assisted by Mr J. Stevens (North Island) and Mr A. Morrison (South Island). When the Boers migrated from Cape Colony to the Transvaal they were forced to clear the way by killing six thousand lions. Miss Burnett, daughter of a very old settle of Wanganui, has -signified her intention to present the town with a peal of bells and a clock, of the value of £700, as a' memento of the peace celebrations, and in appreciation of the part played by Wanganui in assisting the Empire, Some idea of the amount of business already appearing on the order paper may be gained from the fact that yestercay members gave notice to ask fifty-eight questions, and to introduce thirty-seven Bills, in addition to which there are nine notices of motion. It will be seen by advertisement in another column that Messrs Austin Bros., who have had upwards of twelve years flaxmilling experience in Foxton, have been appointed agents for the well-known firm of Booth, McDonald & Co., of Christchurch. Af o d stock of flax machinery will always be kept, and flaxmillcrs can rely on having their orders promptly attended to. Lord Roberts has shown his appreciation ofthe services of the Shropshire Reg*., who occupied- Ihs place of honour with the Canadians and Gordons at Paardeburg, and again in the capture of Thaba N'ehu by bestowing upon Sergt. Meredith the first of the 70 commissions sancsioned by the War Office for men in the ranks. ' The new officer is a son of the Rev. J. B. Meredith, vicar ot Kimberley, bhropshire. The opinions of the school committees throughout Hawke's Bay and Poverty Bay, which were asked for by j the Education Board, as to the usefulness of the two truant officers, show that no great benefit in regard to increased attendance has resulted commensurate with the cost involved. Meantime the officers have been given a month's notice, and at the next meeting of the Board the advisability of continuing their services or otherwise will be finally settled. Nineteen years ago (sth May) Lord Roberts received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament for his splendid march from Cabal to Candahar, the occasion being the second on which her Majesty's Lords and Commons conferred a similar honour on him. It is a singular fact that Lord Roberts is the only man living entitled to wear two Victoria Crosses. One he nobly won, and on occasions worthily wears it on his left brest, but — according to Army regul?tions-— the Cross earned by his son he is not only allowed but commanded to wear on the opposite side. Inspector Gillies paid a visit to town last night and left by train this morning. On Saturday morning whilst Messrs Shadbolt and Anreason were on the beach shooting they came across a very strange fish, landed on the beach, and in the afternoon brought it up to town for inspection. Nearly the whole town went to have a look at it, aud on Monday morning it was sent to Palmerston to heighten the attraction of the Foxton Sanatorium. The fish is quite an unknown species to the old settlers, and generally bore the appearance of a giant frost fish, with the exception of the head and feelers. Its total length is 16 feet and its girth 34 inches, and its two feelers are three feet long. The skin is very thin and of the colour of a frostfish. It will be interesting to know what the fish really is. and with that end in view it will probably be sent to Wellington or vVanganui.

Aooording to reports of a great number of physicians of the hightest professional standing, there are offered Eucalpyti Ex iracts which possess no curative qualities. In protection of the world wide fame of Sand its and Sons preparation we publish a few abstracts from these reports, which bear fully out that no reliance can b? placed in other products: — Dr. W. V Rush, Oakland Fia., writes It is sometic • difficult to obtain the genuine article (Sander and Sons). I employed different other preparations ; they had no thera peutic vn'ne and no effect?. In one erse the eff. v.d were similar to the oil campuora. the objectionable action of which is well known." Dr H. B. Drake, Portland, Oregon, saya— "Since I became acquainted with this preparation (Sander aud Sons) I use no other form of eucalyptus as I think it iR by far th • bfst." Dr L P.

What is the use of making a better artie'e than your competitor if you can not get a better price fo> it ? . Ans.— As there is no difference in the piles the public will buy on'y the be'ter, so that while our profits may be sma'ler on a s ng.e sale they will be much greater in the aggrega c. How can you get the public to know your make is the best ? If both articles are brought prominently b-fore the publ'c both are ctraio to be tried and the pub io will very quickly pass judgment on them and uss only the, better one. This exp'ains the large sale on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The people have be»n using it for years and have fou d that it ein always be depended upon.
