The New Time-Table.

The settlers in this district will appreciate the action of the Minister for Railways in giving the extra train asked for on the visit of that Minister to this town. He promised to favourably consider the request and, if the traffic warranted, would give effect to it. The commencement of next month will see a train running every Tuesday in addition to Thursday and Saturday, to Palmerston. We are sure settlers in both towns will appreciate the facilities thus given for trade and intercourse.

The result of the deputation ones again shows how much could be accomplished for the town- if our representative men would only wake up and let our wants be known. The success at present achieved, will we trust, act as an incentative to further

The dates of the visit of the representativa of Messrs Bridge and Andrews are advertised elsewhere* The Foxton date is izth May. Mr W. F. Stansell has been appointed headmaster at Ohingaiti. Before becoming a policeman in Vienna a man must be able t® swim, row, and send a telegraphic message. A capital idea. There is a tribe in Central Africa among whom speakers in public debates are required to stand on one leg while orating, and to speak only as long as they can so stand. The latest discovery in the way of tall men is Edward Beaupere, a Canadian. He is only r§, and already is 7ft lof in high. The Governor received a .flag for the Arawa tribe from the Prince of Wales, and will present it at Roto rua on May ist. The Victorian Labour Commissioners have returned from Rotorua to Auckland. Mr Reid, one of the Commissioners, is ef opinion that there is no other place such as Rotorua in the world for healing properties. The sum of £50,000 spent in improvements and advertising would, he considers, pay handsomely.

Messrs Jas. Grace & Co., of the Square. Palmerston, draw attention in their advertisement on our first page, to being importers of musical instruments, and being agents for Charles Begg & Go. Brass instruments by various makers. Items stocked, apart from music of all kinds, are White’s sewing machines, washing machines, also wringers.

One of the many narrow escapes at the Bothasberg fight (writes a Titnaru trooper) I may mention Captain Batger’s.’ He was ia charge of the Otago Company. The Bosrs ordered him, as captain to put up his hands. He objected, whereupon a Boer levelled his rifle to shoot him, but Private G, Dansy, I think it was, shot the Boer instead and saved tha captain. Then the Boers took the captain out among their pals to shoot him, but he watched his chance, and seized an opportunity to run for all he was worth into camp. He ia an old New Zealand athlete, but says that night’s run beat all his previous records. At the Wanganui District Court on Monday, Alexander Potter Hart, charged with threatening to break into a dwelling at Foxton, was sentenced to one month’s imprisonment.

The Government is being urged to allow settlers in out-of-the-way parts of the colony to erect light and inexpensive telephone lines in their own district; also to subsidise the work to the extent of £ for £. The number of birds put through the Government poultry depots for export last year was about 30,000 This year fully that number is being handled every month. Most of the poultry are for South Africa, the remainder being for England. Owing to a difficulty in getting the cooling chambers of the steamers kept at an even temperature, merchants are disinclined to send any more eggs to South Africa, but it is hoped that satisfactory arrangements in that direction will be made with some of the shipping companies before long. The new yacht Meteor, built in the United States for Emperor William of Germany, has arrived at Southampton, after a perilous voyage. The vessel’s decks were under water for fourteen days. The Hon. C. C. Kingston, Federal Minister of Trade and Commerce, gave orders under the Customs Act that bo work on vessels would be permitted owing to the day being Eight Hours Day. The captain of the P. and O. liner Australia declined to obey the order, as he had to coal the vessel to sail to-morrow. A lighter accordingly went alongside the liner and commenced to place coal aboard. A Customs officer asked the men to cease work- They declined- The officer them sealed the ship’s bunkers and stopped operations. The captain is liable to a penalty of £SO. They were discussing AngloIsraelism at the Commercial Travellers’ Club the other evening, says the Free Lance. A young man in the soft goods line, who scoffed at the very idea said he knew a thing much stranger than Anglo-Israelism. What was it ? Why, that one of the old Palestine nations had come from New Zealand ? They laughed in his face, and he undertook to shout drinks all round if they could disprove his argument. Then, they asked for his argument. Which nation it was ? He expressed deep sorrow for their ignorance, of course, and then told them it was the Moa bites. If they bad ever heard of a moa bite outside of New Zealand let them produce the article. He is still pausing for a reply. Complaints had been made at a Dunedin kirk of the discomfort caused by dripping umbrellas in and outside the various pews. To remedy the nuisance a member, of the congregation presented the kirk with a large umbrella stand, which was fixed up in ‘the lobby. After reading out the notices on a recent Sunday, one of the elders remarked Ye’ll nae doot hae seen the splendid umbrella stand that Mr McGamp has presented tae the kirk. Noo umbrellas are umbrellas and humane nature is human nature, sae ye’ll nae think if wrang 0’ me if I ask those who sit near the pulpit, and canna leave the kirk so soon as the others, tae bring their oldest umbrellas; and, wi’out being pairsonal I must say that we should all feel a heap easier if Sandy McTavish would tak up a sitting a wee bit farther frae the door.’’—Free Lance. Messrs Abraham and Williams Ltd., hold a stock sale at Shannon tomorrow.

The plague has broken out amonst the animals in the Sydney " Zoo.” A fatal accident occurred at Longburn on Monday evening, whan Mrs Doreen, wife of the nightwatchman at the Longburn Freezing Works, fell out of a buggy when in a fainting fit and received a blow on the temple. She died while being conveyed homo.

The bulk of the representative Australian cricketers has arrived. Darling when interviewed, expressed the utmost confidence in the team, which, he felt sure, would be quite at strong as it was three years ago. The team starts practice at Lord’s on Monday. The members of Maclaren’s team have also arrived. Barnes says that bis injured knee feels all right. He has no doubt that he will be able to play, A Reuter’s message states that three earthquakes have destroyed the towns of Quezaltenango and Amatltlan, in Guatemala, Central America, killing five hunnred people. We are sorry to hear that Mr Thos. Clune, an old resident of the Carnarvon district, met with a serious mishap by falling from his trap on Tuesday evening on his way home. Mr Clune in his fall received a bad fracture of the skull, besides other severe contusions, and Dr Graham, who came down yesterday from Palmerston, ordered his removal to the Palmerston Hospital, the patient being taken up by this morning’s train. At All Saints’ Church this afternoon Mr Arthur Symons was married to Miss Grace Carkeek, the third daughter of Mr Morgan Carkeek. The ceremony was conducted by the Rev. H. F. Wilson. Mr Jenks being the only candidate nominated for Mayor, the returning officer to-day declares him duly elected. . The schooner Toroa. with a cargo of Newcastle coal, was brought up to the wharf this morning by the s.t. Qaean of the South. As a precaution against the plague visiting us, the schooner has anchored in the stream, pending the fumigation process, ordered by the Health Department, and which Mr Rickard is attending to. The Railway Department advertise excursion fares on 30th April and ist )May from Foxton and intermediate stations for Palmerston, tha usual J.ifi p.m. train being delayed to leave Palmerston at 7 p.m. on the 30th, the first day of the Palmerston races.

SANDER and SONS EDGALPYTI EXTRACT. According to reports of a great number of physicians of the hightest professional standing, there are offered Euoalpyti Ex tracts which possess no onrative qualities.
