RANGITIKEI ELECTION.

As was stated would in all probability be the case, the date of the Rangitikei election has been fixed for the 16th inst. If a second ballot is necessary it will be held on the 23rd. The scattered nature of the iiangitikei electorate may be gauged from the fact that there are no fewer than 63 polling booths. iMr. Hornblow addressed a large meeting at Taihape last evening.

The importation of a number of ar-' tides, including second-hand bedding, was prohibited under the Federal Quarantine Act. When the matter came under the New South Wales Premier's notice, Mr. Wade wrote tq the Commonwealth Prime Minister, and pointed out that the prohibition would operate somewhat harshly in the case of immigrant families, as it frequently happened that they brought bedding with, them. It was suggested to Mr. Deakin that the interehts of the public health would be sufficiently safeguarded if the secondhand bedding were subjected on arrival to a proper disinfection under official supervision, as in the case of imported second-hand carpets, jute bags, etc. As the lesult of Mr. Wade's representations, a supplementary proclamation has been issued, modifying the original pro clamation to the extent that the prohibition against the importation of secondhand bedding will not apply to that belonging to and accompanying a passenger. Messrs. Levien, Shallcrass and Co. notify that their weekly salo of household furniture and effects will be held at the Central Auction Rooms on Thursday afternoon. Full particulars will appear jfco-morrow At 2 o'clock to-morrow Messrs. W. H. Jlorrah and Co. will Bell by public auciion, in their rooms, Willie-street, 400 folk of wall papers. MOTOR CARS FOR SALE.
