Mr R. Noon in's tender w-is accepted by the Wanganui Education Board for papering the Foxton headmastei s residence.

“ I am willing to bet a tenner that our streets are lit just as good as Upper Willis street and other streets in Wellington,” said Or Coley last night. There were only two tenders received for the position of ranger at last night’s Council meeting. That of Mr Haack was accepted. The other was informal.

“We have much better lights here than some other places,” said Or Qoley last night. •* Then lb can’t be much worse, that’s my opinion,” replied Or Stiles.

“I’m against them both,” siid_ Or Coley last night, referring to the light and water schemes, “ I am quite satisfied with a2s rate. That’s enough for me.”

Whilst the cry for progress was being diacu sed at the Council meeting last evening, Or Coley said, “ These here ‘ Birds of Passage’ does more squeaking than anyone else.” And he cast a firm eye at the Press table. It his bee t irrmgel toa nalg-mate the two newspapers at present existing in Carter m—the Wair irapa Observer and Wairarapa Leader.

In the c >ur e of a p ioer on cancer read at the Medical Conference at Christchurch, last week, it was urg d that the Government should copy the example of o' her countries by establish! >g and equipping a laboratory for c ncer research. A modon embodying the suggestion wts carried unanimously. After hearing to Mr Fraser’s explanation re Jack’s new light, Cr Coley re marked “It sounds well! ” “ Better t ian anything I have eyer heard,” chimed in Cr Baker. It is proposed to exhibit this light at Palmerston wi iter show and also it Chris'church. As one Councillor remarked, the hive tor must become i nillionir- if the light proves ail it is claimed to be. Tho.i '"trance companies h ve passed theligh' as satisfactory. On Siturdaya man was cha ged at the Wellington Police Court with having assaulted two women. The prosecntiix, Mrs St -kes, wife of a restaurant keeper, and her daughter were going home late one night when the accused acc >sted them m 1 kuocked th an both d wn. Nothing daunted, rhey attempted lo de ain the ■ nan. Mrs Stokes stated in her evidence: —“I held him by the neck, and my daughter k eked him. Mv intention was to keep him down until my husband came, but be was too strong for us. When we g A him down I said we wouldmark him so that we should know him in the morning.” The prisoner, who show-d signs of severe handling, was sent meed 11 two month’s imprisonment. When the Mayor explained that Mr Fraser had seen something new in the way oflighta while he was in Palmerston, Cr Colev, at last night meeting, replied, “As far as that goes I strike lots of new things in my travels I can find a man that will mstal a plant and lights for nothing if yon give him the right for 30 years.” The Mayor said of course we could not d > that Cr Coley agreed. But Cr Stiles said he would sooner grant the right to a person tor thirty years than be without light. “ And so say all of ns 1” The adjourned meeting for ihe pur pose of forming a Qu -it Club was held in the Good Templars Hall last night, Mr W. S. Stewart presiding. There was a fair attendance (for Foxton). It was decided to form a club and the election of officers was proceeded with. Dr Bennett was elect -d President, Mr \V. S. Stewart Vice-President, Mr Reade Secretary and Treasurer. Messrs T. Henderson, F. Martin, W. Nye, Feek, and E. Dunn were appointed as a committee. The subscription was fixed at ss. As different players require different weight of Q ioits it was decided to o’-tain sundry pains on approval so that members can select their own particular weight. It was decided to open the season on the first Wednesday halfholiday after Easter (25th April). A committee meeting will be held shortly at the secretary’s office for the purpose of adopting rules and to approve of a suitable site. Those persons who expressed their willingness to join when the Club was formed cau pay their subscriptions to the secretary as soon as possible to cover preliminary expenses. We have great pleasure in announcing that both the Presid mt and Vice President have donated half a guinea each towards the funds. The secretary will bo pl-asod to receive sim :l ar amounts from snv Qmiting enthusiasts V vote of thanks to Mr Stewart for presiding and the use of the hall was carried.

The Education Board has accepted Mr Sutton’s tender of for the Glen Oroua school. Referring to the thanks notice inserted in our columns on Tuesday, it should have read the employees of Jupp’s new mill, not Brewer’s mill. A Mangaweka telegram says the earthquake caused large slips along the Rangitikei river, thousands of tons of earth falling along the face of the cliffs. Mr Harry Hoolihan, the popular barman at Haywood’s Hotel, left Foxton on Tuesday last to take over the management of the Manchester Boarding House, Peilding. We wish " Harry ” good luck. Mr L. J. Fume, second master at Foxton, received promotion in Ms profession in the shape of an appointment to the secord master-ship at Eltham. In all probability, Mr Fame will leave for the Taranaki district in about a month’s time,

Mr Angus Keith, the popular secretary of -tiie Foxton "Racing Club, has f been appointed starter of the Mauawatn 'Racing Club. Mr Keith has given -general satisfaction everywhere he has officiated, and bids fair to make a big name as controller of the gee-geo at the barrier.

A prolonged shock of earthquake was felt in Foxton and elsewhere on Tuesday afternoon. Tne shock must have lasted fully a minute. We have not heard of any damage being done, though there are the usual tales told. Faints wore numerous in the vicinity of Foxton.

There seems to be some strange affinity between children and snakes, if an incident which occurred at South road the other day is any criterion, says the North-West Advocate (Tasmania). Mrs Wood’s baby boy wandered across a oaddock, and on going over to him she was horrified to see that he vvas playing with two large snakes. With a short stick the little fellow was stroking the repti'es and call! ig “ I) ’id snakes, rmimmv.” The child was carried awav and Miss Radford placidly despatched the snakes with .a rail. oto measured 4 feet 0 inches, while fc * g other one was a little smaller.

Rewi, the old -at Maun in Parihaka, with his bout up figure, lias gone the wivofhis firefathon, having died on Friday. His age is put down at from 100 to 127 years, but a person well versed in Maori estimates his ago at 124 vears. He was buried on Sunday last in the cemetery at Parihaka. Rewi was the leader of die massacre at Wairau (Oakura) in the davs of the native disturbance, being held solely responsible for it. He has lived in Parihaka fo ■ the past twelv ■ years, and us u d to tell many interestin',' tales of the fights with the Pakeha. He was aTo Whiti-ite.— Opu-'ake Times. A great sensation was created at Paeroa on Monday afternoon when about half a nundred oooplo who were in attendance at die Ohinemuri-Jjckoy Club races were attacked with ptomaine poisoning. Amongst the eatables supplied at lunch >nn was potted tongue. It is believed that this was the cause of the attack. Horne of the cases were most serious and it was feared that there would be a loss of life. Som<* were attacked so seriously that they had to b° carried into Paeroa on stretches. The hotels were for a time full of sick people. There was great excitement as the news spread and considerable anxietv. Manv wore attacked hut there are no casualties so far. During race time at Htratford, a visit ing constable was robbed of T2, which was taken from his pocket at the hotel. He arrested a man who shared his room on suspicion, and proceeded to take him to the police station, when the unexpected happened. The strang-w had in his coat pocket a lemonade bottle charged to the nock with whiskey. Suddenly drawing the bottle from his pocket he dealt the constable a smashing blow across the nose and disappeared like a flash. Blinded with hi >od and whiskey, the constable was unable to pursue his a -sailant and a subsequent inquiry seemed to establish the fact orettv clearly that the constable’s sus picions had fallen upon the wrong man.

The ro'e of candid critic is thus adopted by Chsistchurch Truth : “ Tim public of Christchurch is ton slack. It doesn’t display that amount of agility that an 'ble bodied com munitv shou ! d in several directions It can’t hustle to a public meeting m ire than halt-a-dozen strong; it doesn’t roll up to a poll more tiian a sprinkling ; it ha-n’t enough energy to entertain it.- gusts he sudormcn at present m the Port of Lv‘t 1* m ; i f can't even ge* ; nto a tramcar wilh d >cent alacritv. The nnb'ic’s great inability to hop with lightness and celeri'y into a tram is a fine reliable indication of tlm chancier of Christchurch. It is slow; it requires time to think even before i* get- on board a tram. The tact that it is de'aving its own rapid transit and making itself a nnis ince affec' it in the least. It will tike time to c insider before it answers the las* trump.”

RHEUMO SOON CURED HIM. A few doses ol Rheumo soon cured Mr Geo. Colledge, the well-known Wellington Master Mariner. He writes : “ I was blacked with rheu matin gout. Mv feet wore much swollen, and 51 very painful that I had to keep in ivd. Hearing of voar cure for gout, I sent for a bottle of Rheumo. and after t iking a few dos-'s the effect was magical—the severe pim inp and Vm sw !,: ug Vcanueared ; I was coon on m" fiv»t a gam "’nd able to go to work.” Rheueo is sold every where at 2/6 and 4/6 a bottle.
