Manawatu Herald. THURSDAY, GOT. 80, 1902.

A Government parade ot the Foxton Rifles will be held this evening.

Mr Hamer has his list full for the Cadet Corps. Many have been sworn in. Messrs Johnston and Sim report the sale of Mr John Gemmell’s property at Waituna to Mr J. R. McLennan, of Oroua Downs. The property consists of 3762 acres. The Railway Department announce holiday Excursion fares for the 3rd to 13!h November available till 9th December, on the whole of the Welling-ton-Napier-New Plymouth section. In Mr Betty’s windows are displayed three handsome prizes which have been shot for by members of the volunteers and annexed by privates Dudson, Clark, and Morgan, who have the selection in the order named. In another column notice is given that all volunteers are requested to attend at the drill-shed to-morrow evening at 7.30 for the purpose of getting measured for their new drill uniforms!

Mr France, the contractor for the erection of Mr James Symons new residence in Harbour street, is making rapid progress, the walls and roof being up, thus giving an outline of what the building will be like. It will be large, comfortable, and handsome when finished.

The Admiralty has now a permanently stationed officer in this Colony to watch the supply of coal for the warships. The Westport Coal Company has a contract to supply 68,000 tons of coal for the China squadron. It is expected larger orders will follow, and most assuredly they would if large steamers could fill at Westport, but at present they can take only part of a load over the bar and fill up from colliers at Wellington. The Shell Transport Company’s steamer Clam has arrived from Batoum, on the Black Sea. She used oil as fuel during the entire voyage, averaging a speed of knots per hour. The daily consumption was 18 tons of oil, as compared with 24 tons of Welsh coal.

Mr Knox, Attorney-General, reports that the Panama Canal Company is able to offer the United States Government a valid and unencumbered title to the canal property. Sir Nicholas O’Conor, British Am' bassador at Constantinople, com' plained to the Sultan of the Turkish soldiery’s frequent violation of the Aden frontier, and that if it was continued Indian troops would be sent to stop it. The Sultan immediately convoked his Cabinet.

Owing to large consignments of arms and ammunition having been sent to Ireland, the Government authorities at Birmingham have directed the attention of manufacturers to the conditions of the Peace Preservation Act of xBBx.

A general meeting of the Athletic Club will be held next Monday evening at Mr Levett’s Manawatu Hotel. Sir Edmund Barton, Premier of the Commonwealth, states with reference to the new naval agreement that it has not yet been decided whether any training shall be provided for Australians by the Commonwealth apart from that given in the new squadron. He considers it would be a good thing if the colonially-recruited sailors were allowed to gain experience on other naval stations than the Australian.

Wo can confidently recommend an inspection of the windows of Mr Alf. Fraser’s establishment. The Christmas cards, the coming of which we foretold, have now arrived atd both windows, so large is the order, are filled with samples. “ From grave to gay, from lively to severe ” might be the description fitting to the exhibition, as there are cards of rare beauty and daintiness, as well as most comical and novel ones. Go and see, that’s the best to do, and then purchase, the prices are so arranged as to suit all pockets. We believe Mr Fraser’s imports this year excell all past seasons.

The principal chemist of the British Government laboratory, in his report for the present year, gives some interesting information as to adulteratives. Roasted cereals are used, largely to adulterate coffee, and for the same purpose turnips, acorns and dandelion root and roasted figs are utilised. An imitation of tobacco was produced by the use of pine Wood, shredded and stained so as to resemble the cut tobacco used for making cigarettes. The offenders having been detected with this material in their possession, proceedings were taken, and the full penalty of £2OO was imposed on each of the defendants concerned. With deep regret we (The Times), have to record the death of Mrs Amon, relict of the late Mr Arthur Amon, of Low Rangitikei, which occurred at Palmerston on Monday evening, after a brief illness. The news of Mrs Amon’s death will come as a great shock to her many friends in the Rangitikei and Manawatu districts. The late Mrs Amon was a daughter of the late Mr Alex. Winks, and arrived with her parents in the colony when quite an infant, and practically the whole of her life has been spent in the Lower Rangitikei district. Of late years Mrs Amon had acted as postmistress at Scott’s Ferry, and she was thoroughly endeared to all the settlers of the district, Mrs Amon's husband—the late Mr Arthur Amon—predeceased bis wife some seven years ago, and she leaves a family of three sons and one daughter—MrsG. Shortt, of Feilding—to mourn their loss. The interment will take place at Parewanui. According to the managing director of the Christchurch Meat Company, Mr Gilbert Anderson, who has just returned from a visit to Australia, the conditions of New South Wales aud Queensland cannot be realised in this colony. He told a “ Lyttelton Times ” representative that the mutton hanging in the butchers’ shops in Sydney would not be allowed by any New Zealand inspector to be killed for human food, so impoverished is it in condition, Dependence will have to be placed on New Zealand for beef for a long time, but some mutton will be forthcoming after shearing. The shearing has been delayed by the sheep being too weak to be shorn ; on one large station the sheep were shorn at four places, being unable to travel to the central shearing shed. New, Zealand beef is well liked, but the mutton, both fresh and frozen, is too fat.

SANDER and SONS EUGALPYTI EXTRACT. According to reports of a great number ot physicians o£ the hightest professional standing, there are offered Euoalpy ti _ Ex tracts which possess no curative qualities, In protection of the world wide fame of Sanders 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. B. Rush, Oakland Fla., writes It is sometimes difficult to obtain the, genuine article (Sander and Sons). I employed different other preparations; they had no therapeutic value and no effects. In one case the effects were similar to the oil camphora, the objectionable action of which is well known,” Dr H.B. Drake, Portland, Oregon, Since I became acquainted with this preparation (Sander and Sons) .1 use no other form of eucalyptus as I think it is by far the best.” Dr L. P. Preston’s Lynchburg, Va., writes—" I never used any preparation other than Sander and Son’s, as I found the others to be almost useless.' 1 Dr J. T. Oormell, Kansas City, Kans;, says “Care has to be exercised not to be supplied with spurious preparations, as done by my supply druggist.” Dr fl. H. Hart, New York, says—“ It goes without saying that Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract is the best in the market.” Dr James Reekie, Fairview, N. M.—“ So wide is with me the range of applications of Sander and Sons Eucalypti Extract that I carry it with me wherever I go. I find it most useful in diarrhoea, all throat troubled bronchitis, etc.” Chamberlain's Cough Reuedt cures the cold and does not produce any bad effects. It strengthens the lungs and leaves the system in a healthy condition. It always cures and cures quickly. W. Hamer, chemist, sells it. What is Pain Balm P

Chamberlain’s Pain Balm is a liniment, and while adapted to nil the ordinary uses of a liniment, has qualities, has qualities which distinguish it from other remedies of this class. Pain Balm is especially beneficial for rheumatism. Thousands of cases can be cited in which this remedy has effected a cure when the sufferer had previously tried the best medical service without securing relief. Pain Balm is positively guaranteed to give relief in the most severe cases of chronic or acute rheumatism.
