At Timaru, on Wednesday, the S.M. gave jßdgment in the Baster Camp breach o£ contract cases. He held that the defendants were not acting as servants of the Crown, and that there was no defence on that ground, therefore they were liable for their actions. He gave judgment for Reilly in the canteen case for £B6, and for Oudd, the cateror, for £6O. Counsel for defendant said there might be an appeal. In consequence of the increased traffic caused by the dredging industry on the West Coast, the Union Company has re-ananged its time-table so aa to give extra communication, and if necessary the Mapourika will be put on instead of the Wainui. As soon as the quarantine is removed the special per centage between Australia and New Zealand will be abolished, but owing to the increased cost of coal and other necessaries, somewhat higher rates will be charged than before the plague bioke out. The extra cost of coal involves £13,000 per annum. In view of the traffic to Christchurch, there will be a daily service between there and Wellington. 'Frisco mail news states that the plot on the life of King Humbert of Italy was planned in a room at West Hoboken, New York. Every effort is to be made to bring the men concerned to justice; but difficulty is being experienced in the matter owing to the fact that the State has no laws for the punishment of persons plotting against people in Europe. The Italian Government has asked ( the State to pass measures of this nature .without delay. United States are proceeding with the ' construction of G 22-knot cruisers, 9 of the ' protected class ranging in speed from 17 to ■ 22 knots, 4 monitors, 16 torpedo destroyers, ' and 6 Holland sub-marine boats.

We have been requested to call attention to the fact that the date of Mr. Outfield's sale is the 20th, not the 30th as stated in eur Tuesday's issue. A farewell concert, tendered by the Town Band to Mr. Garry, takes place in the | Recreation Grounds this afternoon, when it is hoped there will be a large muster in honour of the occasion.

The second of Mr. Fletcher's series of organ recitals at St. Mary's Church takes place this evening. An excellent programme appears in this issue. Mr. B. A. Hignett was unable to be present at the Education Board on Wednesday, and leave' of absence was granted.

It will be seen on reference to our advertising columns that Mr. Newton King has been instructed, by Messrs. Callaglian & Medley, to sell by auction sixteen valuable properties in the west end of the town.

The Taranaki Guards hold a smoke concer' this evening, to which tbey have invited their brethren in arms, the Taranaki Rifles, so that there i,s every prospect of an unusually pleasant evening being spent.

Owing to continued illness, Miss Moore, teacher at Albert Road school, has been granted extended leave of absence. The Inglewood fiecord says:—The milk received at the Waiongon'a factory during the 12 months was 1,122,1911b5—44,022,971 lbs of butter-fat.

The Wanganui Chrtmiclo says:—Messrs.' Hatrick and Co.'s excursion to Tangarakau was largely patronised, over 50 persons taking advantage of what proved to be a more than ordinary pleasant excursion. Splendid weather prevailed. The grandeur of the scenery above Pipiriki was a great surprise to everyone, and the skilful way the difficult rapids were negotiated was quite an object lesson in steam-boating. No doubt trips in the near future to Tangarakau will become regular. The record of engagements, etc., of sailors for the year ended June 30th at Wellington largely exceeds the previous year. There were 2903 engagements against 2384, and 2020 discharges against 2166. There were also 140 desertions.

The fore and aft bulkheads of the new and 'commodious deckhouse are already in posi--1 tion, and apparently no effort is being spared

to make the little vessel as staunch as when she was Jauuched.

A shipment of unfrozen beet from the Argentine to London, in chambers, the air of which had been sterilised, proved a failure. Dr, Bevan, speaking at a meeting at Melbourne, called by tho Council of Churches, repudiated the idea that the troubles in China were due to missionary enterprise, although admitting they might occasionally be the subsidiary causes. There were many fiuses at work, the principal among which ere the weak state of the Chinese Government, and their lack of control of so mighty an empire, as well as the disaffection felt towards the Manchu dynasty. I Too much stbess cannot be laid on the

fact that in the whirl of unnatural excitement, and in the struggle for existence in this generation, no attention whatever is vouchsafed to the most ordinary rules of health. When the muscles becomes relaxed, thenervesover-sensitiveand delicately strung.

and the brain wearies at the slightest task, these symptoms are part of Nature's warning that the delicate organism of the human frame is out of gear. In most cases a gentle stimulant and mild restorative is all that is

required to impart fresh vitality to the jaded nerves, and it is a well-known fact that a few doses of Uolloway's Pills work wonders and res two the lost tone of the nervous system —Advt.

If a vote were taken cn the question of le best all-round football player in the

(.Uslriefc there would be a great diversity of o;.iuion. There are so many good men to select from, and there would, consequently, be a big run for fust place. Now, if a vote were taken as to the best remedy for coughs, colds, chills, &c., we are certain that there would be one choice with the public, awl Unit would be Sykes' Cura Cough.
