WAITARA NEWS
(From Our Own Correspondent.) Messrs. S. Pearce and G. H. Stubbs. J.'sP., presided at the court yesterday morning, when Claude Iverson, a stevedore from Wellington, was charged with drunkenness and resisting the polioe. On the first charge be was convicted and discharged, and was fined 10s or 48 hours' imprisonment on the second count. The borough loan papers have at last been perused and legaHy passed by the Advances Department, and now await only the formal passing by the Board. No doubt this will be done prior to Sir Joseph Ward's departure for the coronation.
The Keystone Biograpb Co. are putting on a night's picture show this evening. The proceeds are in aid of the school funds, presumably, but when the whole matter is gone into the actual funds go to tlie company in return for stereoscopes, which may or may not be of any practical use to the school. The price of these has not yet been made known—probably they depend upon the vaule of the door takings, and will bo divulged after the entertainment. These facts are not known to those who purchased tickets, and many people are under the impression that the funds are handed over to the committee to be dealt with at its discretion, and simply on this account they have supported the concern by purchasing tickets from the. school children, who, of course, are not able to explain that the Keystone Co. actually takes the proceeds in return for their own stereoscopes. No doubt it is a good way to sell the article, but the "school funds" may not be any better off. Probably it will be news to most readers that the Mother Country has learned something in the way of economic but-ter-making from her daughter. New Zealand. Tn conversation with a lady farmer from Mahoetahi, she informed me that a friend had recently written from Home stating that they were using a New Zealand combined "churn and but-ter-worker on the farm. So it is evij dent that a New Zealand machine is preferred to those made in Germany.
