INDIGESTION cured and assimilation of food certain after taking Pearson's Pepto-chlor. All chemists. Is, 2s 6d, and 4s.

A family settled m the Forty-mile. Bush had a somewhat unique experience m buying a farm. They were m the old Country, and, having read a great deal about the hind laws of New Zealand, they got into communication with a firm of land agents, who sent along a list oi' properties to choose from. The intend ing, emigrants selected a farm m the description of which it said "tram runs right past the house." On reaching their selection they found the tram line was a, "bush * tram" and for many a month they were heart broken over the wild country they had landed . m. They have long since got over that feel, ing, and now rejoice m possessing one of the best. dairy farms m the "Forty Mile." . . # , A little trouble m -the Crown, mine, at Karangahake, was experienced last week; because some of the men wanted an advance m their wages of 6d per day. It appears that a contractor m the Crown mine, named Cogan, employs a considerable number of miners, paying the head men m each shift 10s a day, and the others' 9s 6d. The .latter wanted their wages increased to 10s, but this the con- j tractor refused to do, and the men, num- { bering about ; 14, left Work, but their places have since been filled by ■ others. WHY suffer from indigestion? Pearson's Pepto-chlor will cure you. All chemists.. Is, 2s 6d, and 4s. Baxter, perpetrator of the Invercargill tragedy, was relatively a newcomer to Invercargili. He arrived, there aboo.it twelve months ago, and set ivp m business as a' florist and nurseryman. His business so far . ; \yas necessarily small, but so far as. is known it was promising well, -a,nd there was' no reason . to suppose that his mental state had been excited by business woiTies or financial tightness. There are those who say how tluit Baxter's manner, as observed, by -customers m his shop, was ;, frequently queer • and suggestive of a mind distracted,; bat there is no> evidence of any indications of insanity, and statements made now ".may probably be fairly discounted..- What ''is known is tliat recently Baxter had an attack iof influenza, on "which supervened British cholera, but just what effect these complaints . may have had! on. his mental balance it is impossible to say.

W- Rapley, of .Wellington, speaking to- a press representativeof his impressions of -the tour, said he gave most -timq, to. Seattle, the hustling city that is supplanting, if it has not alreadj r suppla nted, Sn h Francisco. ' Seattle had, five years ago, 1 a population of 125,---000; to-day it had a .quarter of a million, and was growing faster than ever. There is a big scheme on there at prosent which is to 'give- Seattle an inland watervvay through 'Piiget Sound by way of Lakes Washington an<l Huron. Seattle proposes ■to " hold a vbiij exhibition next year-, and is inviting Australia and New Zealand to eend along their very best. Mr Rapiey found. qiiite a number of people interested m .New Zealand, particularly m regard to. its laws, and they regarded the Dominion as. the ideal m self;governed countries, and if a smarter .service were provided between New Zealand and any of the American ports he was sure, tliat. there would be an influx of Americans into the country. Mr Rapley travelled as far.: "as. Honolulu on the return voyage with ' Senator Mclaughlin, a member of Congress, who had informed him that there was a- disposition on the part of the Government to subsidise a 20---knot service to Australia. For the reasons stated, and others he could mention, he hoped New Zealand would he represented at the Seattle exhibition. It would promote the movement for a subsidised service, and- . would strengthen the bonds between this country and Western Unitea States. '
