LOCAL AND GENERAL.

A red and white bullock has been impounded at Kumeroa. The Crosse’s Estate school is completed and presents a neat, appearance. Monday next is to be a special bank holiday (Anniversary Da\). Instead of TOO ewes as adveitiscd in Mr F. E. Perry’s sale on Wednesday, 800 will be offered. Capt. Edwin telegraphed to-day:— Moderate to strong southerly winds ; gl iss rise slowly, Messrs Hawkins and Co. will sell the privileges for the Pahiatua Racing Club’s meeting to-morrow, We have to thank the secretary of the Wellington Racing Club for tickets for the forthcoming meeting. The Metropolitan Railway h s Ivdered 440 carriages in Germany, greatly disappointing British firms. The latter were undersold. Charles Seton, lawyer, and Samuel Humphreys, journalis', are charged at New York with counterfeiting hundreds of thousands of (-omuls' worth of Norfolk Western Railway shares. Admiral Rozhdestvensky, interviewed, adheres to his hallucination regarding the Dogger Bank incident. He is convident that after the supposed torpedoers were driven off, they were concealed by the British at a spot selected beforehand. It is not safe to mention water to a well-known knight of the account book and ledger just now. His involuntary bath in the Manawntu yesterday is rather fresh in his memory. The spectators regret that they did not have a camera to snap the gentleman as he shot from his saddle into the deep waters of the Manawatn.

Japan is building a twenty thousand ton battleship. Prince Arthur of Connaught bus started on a special mission to Japan. China’s secret treaty with Japan merely pledges Chinn not to allow any other Power to interfere in in (heChangchun?, Kirin, Simminting and Mukden railways. SirF. D. Lugard, High Commissioner of Northern Nigeria, has sent Colonel Hnsler, with a largo force, to suppress a rising of the Manchi tribe of cannibals on the river Bfcnue, As a result of a railway collision at Wyoming, United States, a portion of the Australian and New Zealand mails, which left Auckland on December 4th. were destroyed. The through mail, which ns a ru'e goes by a separate train, escaped. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, speaking at Chester, declared the Government was bound by the Chinese contracts. They must obey the law. The future responsibility of the question would rest with the Transvaal Legislature. An authoiity on stock in the Wairnrapa is of opinion that owing to the rough passage to which live stock are subjected over the Rimutnka there are more rejects at the Wellington Freezing Works than m any similar in-titution in the colony. The Daily Mail has published a history of the Now Zealanders’ tour, written by Gallagher, the captain. He strongly defends their tactics. Arthur Gould, an ex-Welsh international player, in a letter to the Mail, declares the methods of the wing-forwards are illegal and the game will suffer greatly if they become general. At tire inquest at Napier on W. P. Downey, a cabman, who died from the effects of taking horse liniment, a verdict was returned that death was cutsod by turpentine poison, self administered, while suffering from the effects of excessive drinking. Speaking at Hakitika the Premier said ho had been asked whether the great majority for the Government in the new Parliament would not be a bad thing for the colony. He unhesitatingly said “ No,” He would never be a party to doing anything wilfully that would do injury (o anyone. A scurrilous leaflet is being circulated in Manchester attacking the honesty of the grandfather of the Eight Hon. A, J. Balfour and indirectly reflecting on himself. Mr Balfour has declared it to be the meanest political attack he has ever known. Mr Horringe, Mr , Balfour’s opponent, has repudiated the leaflet. A will, scratched on a piece of rusty iron with a nail, by a Frenchman named Devie, who hanged himself some time ago in Ardenne, has been upheld by the court at Rethel. Devie left everything of which he was possessed to the village of Adon, “on condition that £l2 be given to the lire brigade to have such a carousal ns was never seen before. We give a final reminder of the clearing sale of Mr F. E. Perry’s celebrated flock and herd. Mr Perry has been a consistent prize-winner at all shows, and the opportunity to secure some of his pedigree animals is an excellent one. The sale takes place at Ngatnri on Wednesday, and coaches will meet morning trains from here and Masterton. The Brazilian newspapers are dissatisfied with Germany’s apology in connection with the Pan-her incident, as Stein hoi f, the man kidnapped, has now disappeared. Last month the German gunlioat Panther landed a detachment of troops in Brazil and forcibly removed a German, who was accused of being an at my deserter. The German Minister subsequently apologised for the violation of rights. The secretary of the Feilding A. and P. Society has been alvised that His Excellency the Governor and the Right, lion R. J. Seddon will be present at the forthcoming’ Show which is to he held on February 7th. The Show promises to be very successful, numerous applications having been received for copies of the catalogue, and it is anticipated that when the entries close on the 19th inst., they will exceed the expectations of the most sanguine supporters of the society. Weddel and Go’s annual review of tho meat trade refers to a tendency throughout the world to breed large sheep, though the consumers greatly prefer young meaty carcases under SGlbs. Under the present conditions it is unsafe to assume that the prices for IOOG will be equal tu the 1905 colonial consignment. The general concensus of opinion is that prices will range lower. All producing countries have placed a higher value on live stock than this market can support. With the January number of Tho Liberal Herald is issued a handsome illustrated wall-calender for 1906, printed in three colours. Tho central fea-tut-9 is a portrait of tho Right Hon. E. J. Seddon, and around this Jure ranged maps of New Zealand and i's i land dependencies. Coloured diagrams are given illustrating the trade of the co’ony ; and in addition to the usual ca'onder information there are statistical and other tables conveying a large amount of information, “ The Liberal and Labour Calandar ’’ should proves very convenient for reference on all matters connected with tho progress of New Zealand during the last fifteen years. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, speaking at Liverpool, quoted with approval President Roosevelt’s refusal to allow Hawaii to become “ tho territory if developed, qf servile Chinese labour immigrants.” He continued :—“lf the representatives in the Transvaal Legislature desire the Chinese in South Africa wo do not desire to meddle, but Chinese labour under conditions bearing the taint of servitude cannot be tolerated in the King’s dominions. Tho Balfour Ccvernmer-t must bear tho responsibly o r that villainous system. It is too bad to denounce tho present Government even if it blundered in trying to get rid of the evil.” FACTS ESTABLISHED AT COURT In an action, the cause of which was flagrant misuse of our firm’s name and other gross misrepresentation by a imitating company, which was tried before his Honor Chief Justice J. Madden, K.G.M.G., LL.D., in the Supremo Courtat Melbourne, the prosecution showed : 1. That Sander and Sons’ Pore Volatile Eucalypti Extract contains all medicinal constituents of tho enciilypr, in a highly refined and pure form. 2. That it is much more powerfully healing (antiseptic) than ordinary eucalyptus preparations, o. That it does not depress the heart like ordinary eucalyptus preparations. 4. That it contains no harmful ingredients, and 5. That it is highly commended by many authorities for the last TO j years as a safe, reliable and effective remedy. Some imitators have tried to deceive the public by stimulating our get tip others have relied on the” just as good,’ 1 game. Therefore take care and obtain the GENUINE, j SANDER & SONS’ EUCALYPTI 1 EXTRACT. 1

News had been received of a grout rush (o (lie goldfields at Manhattan ; (United States), SO miles no-tb-east of the goldfield of Neva zi. Font' thousand [ have assembled there last week. ' Two Woodville cyclists attended a dance at Scarborough on Friday eveni ing. They foolishly left their bicycles outside, and when they went for them they found that their tyres had been de- [ liberately cut with a penknife, i Although nothing official is known it i is understood a recount of the votes in the local option poll for Waikouaiti has shown that No-license was lost by one • vote. 1 In the unfortunate shooting case at Palmerston North, in which a girl shot a young man with a pea-rule, the jury at the inquest returned a verdict of accidental death, and expressed their sympathy with the girl. The U.S. War Department has inaugurated a campaign againtt pie and buckwheat cakes—two deadly enemies of the American soldier. Officers of . the commissariat department have been ordered to attend a school lor cooks and bakers at Fort Riley, Kansas, where they will receive special instruction in the preparation of simple, • easily digested dishes for enlisted men, ! as well as a post-gni hi.vo course in the ’ art of bread-making. The prevalence of 1 indigestion in the army has led to this order. The American soldier is fed on a • most liberal scale, but the food is i too rich as well as .badly cooked. ’ Company cooks are usually unskilled, i and they si rve too many pastries to the men. When the comtniss sarial officers have graduated at s Fort Eiley they will be distributed s throughout the army to instruct cornpany cooks in the art of preparing milk puddings and other wholesome dishes. > The Wellington Eacing Club, whoso . meeting at Trentham this month promises to be a very great success, have i made arrangements for a special train - to leave Palmerston North on Saturday and Monday, 20th and 22ud January, . returning to Palmerston North the a same evening, for the convenience of ' Manawatu people. This train, which 1 will reach Wellington in ample time to , connect with race trains, leaves Puhuor- , eton at (3.155 a.m., arrives in Wellington , at 10 35 a.m., and for the return journey leaves Wellington at 6.20 p.m., arriving at Palmerston Noith at 10.85 p.m. An announcement in this connection appears • in onr advertising columns. ‘ Vivallo, the famous Andalusian bandit, has robbed Senor Toscano, a wealthy ’ Seville landowner, of £3OOO by a neat trick. Ho appeared at Senor Toscano’s in the uniform of a lieutenant, with six mounted constables, and told that gen- ’ tlemrn he was in pursuit of the bandit 1 Yivallo. He was asked to stay to dinner, • and his men were entertained in lire s kitchen. At the conclusion of the meal : the “ lieutenant ” thanked Ins host and announced that he was the bandit Yivallo, > and asked for the £3OOO which he knew 1 Senor Toscano had brought from Seville the previous day. That gentleman had no alternative but to pay the money. 1 Vivallo has now announced that he i “ will retire from his hazardous pro- , fession and become an honest man ” f Our Dressmaking Eooms are now ■ under the management of a first-class ■ dres maker, who comes to us with the f best credentials.
