There are eight of the telegraph ataff at work en the racecourse to-day. Blood stock at a discount judging by the little demand shown at the sale to-day. At Wellington and Wanganui public meetings were held last night in furtherance of the movement to present Mr Seddon with a purse of sovereigns. The police have been instructed to report on all old age pensioners, as to whether they have obtained any property, their earnings, and their behaviour and condition. On Tuesday morning Mr Boss, Government Inspector, was instructed to have the local publio buUdings connected with the water service, and by evening the connection was made, and water on. Not much red tape about that. Mr Bobbins has received word from the New Plymouth Underwriters' Association that as soon as word is reoeived from head auarterß they wiU meet and favorably coneider the request of Hawera insurers to be placed in an easier classification. At the Hospital Board meeting on Monday, the Matron reported that Miss K. Murphy had resigned her position as nurse rather than be transferred to Hawera.-The vacancy has been filled. Richard Taylor, Hawera, applied to be allowed to go to the Patea Hospital for .treatment— He had been informed that he must go either to New Plymouth or Hawera. At Chrislohurch on Tuesday Reuben Ogden, licensee of Storey's Hotel, was charged with Sunday trading in selling drinks to two men who represented themselves as bona fide travellers. The men save evidence that they obtained liquor by misrepresentation, and Mr Beetham dismissed the case. In doing 60, the Magistrate remarked that the risk was bo great that the only safe way was for publicans to say: " I will serve no traveller whatever. Speaking to a Government official the other day a representative of an Oamaru paper asked how, on the whole, rating on unimproved values had operated on those places where it had been brought into force. He replied that he deemed that the general effect had been entirely satisfactory. In some caseß it had been effective in inducing people to build on vacant spaces that were lying idle, ana people who hold a lot of sections unocoupied, when they did nos build, improved their sections by putting up good fencing and cultivating the ground so as to make it reproductive. A wrinkled Maori warrior lately walked up to the court where old nge pension applications were being heard, carefully concealed Mb new and expensive tan boots tinder a tree, and then went in and applied. He said he didn't posess a " hikepen " and was barefooted through extreme poverty. It promptly transpired, however, that the guileless brownie was worth £400, and that his wife had property valued at £3000. Then a rejected brown applicant went out cursing to put on bis tan boots, and when he found they had been stolen while he was in applying, he cursed something extra—so very extra in fact, that tbe polioeman made for him, and our unshod fellow-subject had to run for it.—Bulletin. Waimateßoad Board calls for tenders. Defaulting borough ratepayers are warned. ALLAYS THE PAIN. Charlotte A. Mackay, Queen street, Masterton, says:—" For more than three years I had suffered severely from sharp pains in my arm, shoulder ani spine, so that it was almost impossible for me to obtain any sleep. Seeing Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised, I obtained a bottle at Mi Baton's chemist shop. By following the directions-I had tbe Pain Balm well rubbed on to the affected parts—and almosl immediately I experienced relief. Aftei several applications, the pain was so allayed that I was able to obtain my re. outer sleep and perform my household duties. I consider it a wonderful mcd; oine, and think so much of it that I will never be without a bottle in my home. 1 Chamberlain's Pain Balm is on sal< at Hawera General Store,—Advt.
