The secretary of tlie Barclay Memorial scholarship fund wishes "to acknowledge receipt of tlie sum of £6 from Mr E. Murphy, chairman of the J. leasant \ alley School Committee. The money was raised by an entertainment in aid of the fund. A lengthy interview last week between King Alionao and Senor Maura, tlie leader ul the Conservative party in ►.pain, was interpreted as evidence of a union between the Conservatives and I Liberals to combat revolutionary taei tics. The Revolutionaries have star Led , a campaign ol abuse against the Mon- ! a [chists in order to frustrate the alliance.

The fresh water hiiower lately installed in the long fixed shed, although somewhat small, is greatly appreciated by those who delight in a fresh shower after bathing. As yet there is no sign of the popular "rafts'' and it is to be hop:d , that the Council will ennuire into the j cause of the delay ana have them j promptly moored. I The Land tax is becoming popular with State Treasurers. New South Wales propose-; a tax of j]cl in the £ on the unimproved value, with exemp- : lions of £">00 on rural and £3OO on town lauds.

Mr C. H. Mason forecasts a dry aud windy week from to-morrow. Canoe Stuart, one of the Anglican missionaries, inaugurated a mission in Christchurch yesterday. He preached, an eloquent sermon to large congregations at the Cathedral in tho morning and evening.—Press Association. Tho Greymouth Wharf Labourers decided by a ballot or. Friday to endorse tho action of the Waterside Workers' j Conference in affiliating with the New Zealand Labour Federation as propounded by the Trades and Labour Council. Edward Copley, a Wanganui pianist, started to play the piano at 0 o'clock ou Wednesday evening at Wauganui. He finished at 10.45 on Saturdav night, having played continuously for i_6J hours. The previous record was to hours. According t-o a Association message, Coplev finished strongly. .The main school cadets are now provided with d miniature rifle range for which an excellent site has been obtained in the school quadrangle. Tho official opening took place on the morning of Labour Day with a trianagular match among teams representing the committee, the teachers and the cadets. An interesting contest resulted in a win for the boys .who put on a score of 133 to the teachers 110 and the committee's 72. In the course of a chat with a "Herald" reporter ou Saturday. Mr T. Buxton, M.L*., said that the object of the Prime Minister's visit to the Mackenzie Country was to gain a personal knowledge of the general conditions of the district. Mr Buxton added that he had prevailed upon Sir Joseph Ward to receive a deputation urging upon him the necessity of getting two or three practical men. who knew tho Mackenzie Couutry under all conditions, to give their services towards making the subdivision, so that the best lines of division would be found. The Church of England missionaries now working in the Dominion wish it to be known, says a Wellington Press Association message, that while thev are deeply grateful for the kind thoughts prompting the parishes and congregations to make presentations to missionaries, they consider it inadvisable that any public presentations, in return for work done in a parish, should be made. The season in South Otago is an excellent one in every way according t-o £ visitor from Owaka. Mr John Craig, J.P., who was interviewed by a '"Herald'' reporter on Saturdav aft-er-Ei'.on in Timaru. On ail sides. Mr Craig says, settlement is increasing, and the district is progressing on very prosperous lines. Land winch three or four years ago was not thought mnc-h of at £2 an acre is now considered worth snapping up ;;t £lu ;!ll acre, and among the new settlers nho have built homes for themselves are ninny from Caiit-erbnrv. Thev are attracted of course- by the eheaner kind values, and by the" certainty .<? the cea&ns for grazing purposes. As xhowing the development ~f the d:s----4.-701 Mr Craig mentioned that the free zing works which are t-o be erect-ed near Balclutha have aroused considerable interest throughout the province, end the support accorded by farmers to the project has been verv liberal indeed. Exactly what difference the works will mean in the advancement of South Otago, the settlers, says Mr Craig, have scarcely any idea, "but he himself is thoroughly "convinced chat this one development will be followed cy the establishment of other new industries in various parts.

THE CAUSE OF CONSTIPATION'. The most common cause of constipation is a lack of exercise necessary to keep the mnscles of the bowels active. That is why constipation is often brought on by too frequent use of purgatives. Tfcey act violently performing the work of the bowels for them, and bo weaken them that they will not net without assistance. Chamberlain's Tablets will cure constipation beecaus3 instead of doing the work of the bowels they gently stimulate them to voluntary action. Their frequent use will not injure the most delicate person. So'd everywhere...

The morbid curiosity ot' l a. crowd in the case of an accident, the very existence of which it is impossible to understand, was weii illustrated at the Auckland Domain the other day. A iady who was suffering from the results of a fall was earned into the secretary's tent to be attended 10. Very few people knew ot the occurrence at the time, but in a few moments a crowd of some hundreds had gathered round the door ut the tent, and the chances of any fresh air reaching the sufferer were absolutely nil. 'I ha police did their best to dispel the crowd, while one of the men who sat- attending the lady asked them to leave. Probably ; he said, 19 out of 2(J of them were quite unknown to the object <:f their Heartless inquisitiveness. but little they eared for this. For more than two hours the tent was surrounded, and long after the greater number of the people had left the ground there remained about 200 persons waiting to see the lady remored to the hospital. On Saturday morning in the BoardAccording to medical statistics eight out of every 10 persons suffer more or less from indigestion. Malcolmson's Indigestion, Liver and Kidney Cure J has been responsible for a considerable ! reduction of this average in Timaru, j and all sufferers are advised to give it i a trial. Sold only at the Central Pharmacy... room of the C.F.C.A., a meeting of sliareholders was held for the "purpose of confirming the motion passed at the annual meeting relative to the ' alterations in the articles of association. Tlie chairman of directors (Mr J. Talbot) occupied the chair, ' other directors present being: Messrs G. L. Twenty-mail, W. B. Howell, and C. J. Talbot-.. Ihe general manager (Mr J. P. Newman), the chief accountant (Mr Andrew Wilson) aad a dozen shareholders were also in attendance. .Mr Talbot explained that "the meeting was purely formal 0116, and that the slight alterations which were being made in the articles of association had been found necessary to suit altered conditions, the articles of association not having been preriously altered since the association was founded. On the motion of the chairman seconded by Mr J. Fitzgerfikl. the confirming motion was carried without discussion, and the meeting closed. "SWEET IS PLEASURE AFTER PAIN." Sang the Poet —Probably he had experienced' relief from Rheumatism or Gout, and in the joy of recovery gave expression to those words. "Everv sufferer from the excruciating pains of these and kindred diseases will echo the poet's sentiment when they have tried RHEUMO. Mr Andrew Gillespie. of Wellington. is so we!! known throughout X.Z. that his experience will "interest many. He writes: — •'Whilst suffering from a severe attack of Rheumatic Gout, a friend brought me a bottle of RHEUMO. Its effect was certain; the pain left; the swelling went down, and the second bottle completed the cure. A friend who has been suffering from Rheumatic Gout for some three years, and whoso case was considered hopeless received almost immediate relief from pain, and after taking three bottles was able tc leave her bed. When I hear of anv« one suffering from Rheumatic Gout" I always recommend RHEUMO. There are v.inny suffering who would get prompt relier if they only trkd RHEUMO.'' Get a bottle from the nearest chemist or storekeeper, either 2s 6d or 4fi 6d.M»

Tho choir of the Timaru Primitive Methodist Church paid a visit to Temuka ou Friday evening, anil gave the Teraulia comjrcgation a musical entertainment. 'ihe singers were hospitablv entertained, and their concert was highly appreciated. An emorge-ncy meeting of St. Johns Masonic Lodge will bo held this evening in the iodgexoom, Church street, for work in the third degree. Visitors as usual are cordially invited. The lodge will be tyled at 7.50 p.m. punctually. A meeting of the Labour Dr.v DoJ rnoiistration Committee was held on Saturday Mr J. Reader presiding. The balancn filme: to dato showed tho finances of the demonstration to bo sound, and it 'vns unanimously adopted. It was intended to make tiiis a final meeting, but as there are still some liabilities to be met. for which a reserve fund is in hand, it will bo necessary to hold another mooting. A lengthy discussion took place over a letter which appeared in the "Timaru Herald'' over the signature of "A. C. Fiwcett." complaining that; the Labour Day Committee had overruled the decision of the judges of the procession by disqualifying Mr Faweett's exhibit for being in the wrong place in the procession. The members present took great exception to the latter statement. and also expressed the opinion that no such letter should have b'een written to the paper, but that Mr Fawcett would have shown a better spirit had he gone to the committee direct with his protest, before publicly accusing them. The committee accepted the procession secretary's explanation of the circumstances, and his and other officials' assurance that no such action as complained of by Mr Fawcett had been tiiiien by the Procession Committee, that the judges had given their decision without any hesitation in favour of the whole list- of winners of c.isplay prizes. It was moved, seconded and carried thai Mr Donaldson, profession secretary, be instructed to r--P'*i -° Mr Faweett's letter in the " Herald." The general, procession, and sports secretaries thanked the members for their assistance in tho and the members all expressed gratification at the success of tne demonstration.
