Manawatu Herald. SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1903.

The Mayor requests the public to observe Tuesday next as a public holiday.

The Town Clerk notifies that the District Electors’ list is now open for inspection.

To-morrow the old Oroua polo team will play a game at Bulls with the Rangitikei men. In our next issue we shall give a description of a visit paid to Mr H. S. Baker’s orchard and vineries.

The cemetery has been mown and the fences repaired, and its appearance is much the better for the attention paid to it. A good feed of raw onions (says an Exchange) is a tonic and an appetiser for fowls. Feed them in the mash if they won’t eat them raw. Mr C. Barnard, our new jeweller, has arrived and has opened a sample of jewellery temporarily in Mr Hamer’s window, and he can be seen in the adjoining room. Mr Charles Collins has disposed, through the agency of Mr Alfred Cook, of one of his sections in Purcell-street to the Messrs Gillanders Bros., who propose to erect a residence upon it.

Mr Alfred Cook advertises a flax mill in town for sale, everything in good going order. Price £3OOO. He has also a section with two cottages thereon for sale very cheap, in his list. Owing to the encroachment of the river the Messrs Robinson had to remove their large stables, and Mr Easton has just concluded his contract for the work, having moved the big building some 300 yards inland. They have been treating him too well, as we have been cabled that Mr Chamberlain has reached Maderia on his way back to England from South. He is reported to be suffering from an attack of gout. Mr Arthur Jonson, who was recently elected lieutenant of the Foxton Rifles, resigned owing to the state of his health, and on Thursday evening an election to fill his position took place, place when Mr Thomas Nye, being the only candidate, was duly elected. Mr Reeves’ house is getting along very well, the contractors, Messrs Gillanders Bros., pushing on the work. The house has grown very considerably having advanced a long way to the front, and has been pushed out at the back. The house would greatly astonish its late owner. A train consisting chiefly of oil tanks, parted in the middle and then collided and took fire at Orleans, New York State. The explosion enveloped the watching crowds with burning oil, causing thirty fatalities, including twenty who were incinerated in the wreckage. Forty persons were also injured. At present the Government dredge is taking a holiday, having done all that was needed for the improvement of the river, but our energetic Mayor has secured certain concessions from the engineer by which the use of the dredge will be available for the benefit of the borough, and which, it is estimated, will be cheaper that the proposals first suggested.

Vesuvius is ejecting incandescent exploding masses. Mr George Coley has two cottages building on Johnston-street.

The old, old story—The actress Annita Adamovics has abandoned Herr Woeffing (formerly Archduke Leopold) since he is without money. The steamer excursion on Tuesday promises to be a good success, the railway has arranged cheap excursion fares, and the train arrives at g. 40 a.m. and leaves at 7.35 pin. Mrs Bradcock has been entrusted with the catering, Yesterday young Herbert Langley, son of Mr Alex. Langley, was riding a horse which threw him, by which the lad got the bone in his left wrist broken. Dr Dennett attended the lad, who is now going on well. Some evil-disposed persons entered on to Mr Baker’s grounds the other day or night, and took some glass panes out of his vinery and stole nearly twenty pounds weight of grapes. It is to be hoped that the thieves will meet with their just reward, which is likely, as by accident they left a trace behind them. The Messrs Levin & Co., in connection with a proposal now on foot, were asked for an assurance that vessels would be able to get out of Foxton, to which they have replied “ From our experience of the Foxton trade in the past we anticipate no difficulty in doing this.”

Considering the high price of totara timber, likewise the state of our footpaths, it would seem advisable to consider the advisability of using concrete, for we find that a contract has been let by the Wanganui Borough Council for concrete kerbing at eleven shillings per chain. In the Nelson district there are 150 plantations of raspberries, the largest being 25 acres. An idea of the output may be gathered by stating that a trustworthy eye-witness counted standing in two rows near the Motueka wharf upwards of eighty horse convepances of various sizes, each loaded with raspberries, awaiting delivery. The double-yolked egg is a “ freak,” and the fact that one’s hens lay such abnormalities is nothing to boast of, although I have known some to do so. Such eggs invariably indicate that the hens are putting on too much rat. Such a specimen may be all right for the table, but she is no good as a layer. No hen in a good laying condition produces an egg except of normal size and consistence.

Constable James Tuohy died suddenly on Tuesday night at Westport. He joined the New Zealand police at Invercargill in 1862, and after becoming a first-class sergeant was transferred to the detective branch. He was stationed at Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland as a detective, and in 1889 was placed in charge of the police station at Feilding. The deceased was born in County Clare, Ireland, in 1839. Years ago Constable Tuohy was stationed at Foxton. An old lady who was standing just inside the Park, by Lincoln road, Christchurch, waiting for a tram last Thursday, was much frightened by a man who rushed at her and snatched her purse, containing thirty shillings, from her hand. The thief then made a lunge at her watch and cha'ln, but, alarmed lest her screams should bring someone to the spot, made off without securing the. articles. The theft occurred at one o'clock in the day, and within a few ydrds of the public street.

The Hot Lakes Chronicle stales that a gentleman while fishing at the Utuhina on Thursday last, had a curious experience, and one which was disastrous to his rod and tackle. When throwing his minnow into a deep pool, a shag in full flight suddenly came round a bend of the river, and was caught in mid-air by the hooks attached to the minnow. The bird was going at such a speed that the rod was dragged from the angler’s band, and the shag got away with the minnow and thirty yards of the line, leaving the rod in some adjacent bashes.

Quile lately Mr E. E. Smith, tailor, has had hia business premises considerably enlarged and improved which was rendered necessary by his increasing trade. The shop has been enlarged by the removal of an objectionable double chimney, and now the whole space is available. Between the shop 'and this fitting and cutting out room (some 12 feet by 9 feet), he has had a large glass window made, and to the back of this room has been added a work room 12 feet by feet with chimney. The alterations are a great improvement, and having been tastefully papered and painted form a very convenient and pleasant shop. SANDER and SON- EUO \LPYTI EX TRACT. According to reports of a great number of physicians of the hightest professional standing, there are offered Euoalpyti 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 be placed in other products:—Dr. W. B Rush, Oakland Fla., writes It is sometim e difficult to obiain the genu me a; tick (Sander and Sons). I employed diil'er. jD other preparations ; they had no therapeutic value and no effects. In on j case the effects were similar to the oil camphor the objectionable action of winch is we i known.” Dr H. B. Drake, Portland, Oregon, says—“ Since I became acquainted with this preparation (Sander and Sons) I use no other form of eucalyptus as I thmk it is by far the best.” Dr E. P. Protons Lynchburg, Va., writes—“ I never used any preparation other thaft Sander and ■•• on . as ! found the others to be aimosi useless. ’ Dr J. T. Oormell, Kansas Oily. Kane.-, ;-a. s —“Care has lo be exercised not to be supplied with spurious preparation fcs done by my supply druggist.” Dr il. Id. Hart, New York, says—“ It .goes wi ha t saying that Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract is the best in the market." Dr James Reekie, Fairvtew, N. M. —“ So Wide is with me the range of 'applications of Sander and Sons Eucalypti Estrifet thtn I carry it with me wherever I go. ,1 tin ! it most useful in diarrhoea, all throat troubled bronchitis, etc.” Worms undermine Children’s Constitutions.

Chamberlain's Pain Balm is a liniment and, while adapted to all the ordinary uses of a liniment, has the qualities which distinguish if fr»m other remedies of this class. Pain Balm is especially beneficial for rheumatism. Thousands of cases can be cited in which it 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. Pain Balm heals bruises, burns and scalds in less time than any other treatment. It is “ antiseptic ” that is, it prevents purtrefaction and by so doing, generally prevents an unsightly scar remaining after the injury is healed. For lame back, lumbago and neuralgia, Pain Balm has ao equal. It has the quality of “ gutting to the right sp t.” No sufferer from these distressing affections should defere a trial of this remedy. One appliedgives relief. Try it. W. Hamer, Chemist, sells it.
