The proposal is that in the week of the arrival of the San Franoiaoo steamer the boat for Sydney should leave on Friday instead of Saturday, so as to makethe connection with the Australian, o'utward mail. It is understood the negotiations have narrowed themselves down to the question of prioe. Tha Premier will ooufer with Mr Mills, of the, Union Company, to-day, and 6xpec!s that a satisfactory arrangement will be arrived at. INDIGESTION Is always due to a stomach which is too weak to digest what you eat. It needs rest —you can't rest it by goiug without food. T'hat would mean .starvation. But Dr Sheldon's Digestive Tabules do the stomachic work. In .the meantime the tired organ is regaining fresh strength. Before long it will be as strong as ever.' A temporary attack can be cured at once. A case of long standing naturally takes more time. But the first dose brings relief, and a complete cure is certain in the near future. You don't have to diet. Dr Sheldon's Digestive Tabules will digest any kind of \vhole3ome food. Try them for a week and see how much better you feel. For sale by H. E. Eton, Chemist. Masterton, J.

At the Feildiugsv;, Polioe'', Court, yesterday. moraing T Edward'Hasse, of Tactful, (.oharged wj£h incest, was remanded foi;;a week, bail being refused. It is understood that tho Country Party fn-the House are making ar , rangersents to conduot a.campaign against thi Land Bill before the next session of Parliament. During, last month 4,299 persons arrived in New Zealand compared with 2,743 in. Ootober of last year.

It is reported, says the New Zealand Herald, that a strong oompany has procured the right of putting in a line of rail from Kakahi to connect with Lake Tanoo within a period of seven years. The line will traverse a vast area o". valuable timber land and; it is said, will connect .with the. Taupo Timber Company's bush, whian is already connected by rail with the Rotoraa line at Pataruru. If carried out, this connection will doubtless be used as another tourist route between the thermal regions and the Maiu Trunk Line. Kakahi is very close to the Wanganui Ktver, and with such a connecting link- between the' river and theJhormßl regions the trip through should become very \popular. Some "months ago , Mr. W. A. Graham, of the Wsikato, who has long held the view that some parts uf the North Island are suitable for the cultivation of the sugar beet, forwarded to experts in Hamburg and Vienna samples of soils in tbe Waikafo for the purpose of ascertaining if beet ooula be profitably grown in that part of tho colony. The reports of the agricultural chemists in Europe consulted by Mr Graham are satisfactory, and Mr Graham is now urging the Waikato farmers to go in for cultivating the mot. He bad ottaiued about a hundredweight of beet seed from Austria, and will distribute tb amongst the (members of an association wuinb has been formed to start tbe industry.

In tbe course of his speech at Onehubga, oa Tuesday night, the Minister for, Lands said that with the development of the oolouy, tbe price of land had *one uc and up till the bestland near centres eould be boaubt for not les3 than £2O or £3O an aore. Thinps had oorae to aaoh a phss that, if the present system were to continue, the colony would have to .borrow. The colony could not stand still in such a case. That wasan absolutely impossible policy for the Government to adopt. No Minister for Lands dared to wait, bat had to untioipate financial rain inevitable otherwise. That was why be naa there to explain the bill which the Ward Cabinet had been oompelled to bring down. The land now worth £50,000 would be worth to-morrow £IOO,OOO, in the near future £150,000 and at a not very far distant time millions of pounds. It would become inoreasinsly difficult for any Government to acquire laud on the valuation of the day. Mr Donald Raid, Jan., M.H.R. for laiori, takes strong exception to the statement by the Hon. R. JVTNab that in the redistribution of seats the 'laieri electorate or the Tuapeka electorate may go out of'exjsteuca. Speaking to an Otago Daily Times reporter,', Mr Reid said that the matter is sub jiviice at present, andgany such remark by a Minister of the Crown, and especially by the Minister of Lands, was moat injudicious. Three of fcbe members of the Boundaries Oommissioa are officers of the Minister's own department, and while he did. not think they would be inQaonoed by the Minister's statement they might be. 1' placed these officers in a very invidious position, be cause if tbe comn,isßionors did wipe out Taieri or luapeka, it-might be said that they were influenced in their action by the head of their department. "I think that what ought to be aimed at as muoh as possible by the commissioners," said Mr Reid, "is to make tha boundaries co-terminous with the boundaries of the local governing bodies. The more fchuy depart from that the more difficulty there is in having satisfactory representation. So far-there baa been no difficulty of this kind in my district." HIGHI.T BENEFICIAL.

It gets tired and aches terribly after a day's work or night's pleasure. A. tired, weak bask, pulls a person right down and renders life miserable. The kidneys are often supposed to be the cause, but usually the muscles and tendons in the back have been Bkained. Dr Sheldon's Magnetic Liniment is the proper and only permanent remedy. Rub it into the pores of the back, and a feeling of renewed strength and vigour will come immediately, and a few such treatments will fix you up all right. Dr Sheldon's Magnetic Lini- ' ment takes out sornees and inflammation. It invigorates and freshens all the muscular tissues. It contains ingredients that you luever used before. For sale by H. E.

An incident that should be a warning to jockeys and others occurred during the racing at the Takapuna Jockey Club's meeting on Saturday. After one of the races the side of a horse was bleeding from the effeots of the spur, and the lnspeotor for the Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Mr Alder) and Sergeant Ramsey, who were in the saddling paddock, examined the horse and secured the spur. The jockey stated that he had wrapped the roller with cloth in ordei that the horse could not be out, but during the raoe the cloth got off the roller, ai?d the horse was slightly injured. The hoy added that he hid no intention of injuring the animal, which was proved by the precaution of wrapping th* roller in cloth. The stewards were informed of the matter, and they administeied a caution to !;he jockey, who immediately had the rollers sat from his spurs. Mrs M. Casalberg requires a good washer-woman.

An additional interest will ba given to the Dolores Recital, this evening from the fact that the Dresden Piano Company are sending from Wellington a hundred guinea upright grand Uonieob piano for Mdlle. Dolores' use. This superb instrument baa £ pure, rich singing tone, that has a wondeifully pleasing effect in accompaniments, and also a BymF'o luetio and marvellously responsive touch which, isgso difficult to acquire in an upright pianoforte, so that an added zest will be given to the instrameutal items: The piano has been specially selected for the concert, and will no doubt be much appreciated by the audience.
