TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS

[per press association. Taranaki Bnttvr Export. Hew Putmouth, February 3. The Manawatu took away from here yesterday seventh-seven tons of butter for reshipment on the lonic, abLyfccelton, for London. The Jonic has already about the Mime quantity of butter on board which she took away when taking m other cargo from WaiUra. Ultima Mtvr«»». Wellington, February 3. Among the measures being prepared for nexu session is one empowering the ' Government to take possession of all un claimed moneys m banks and unclaimed 'and. They will probably be placed under he control of the publb trust office, j "vhich will administer them, and after the lsose of a certain time hand over the pro cess, if still unclaimed, to the Colonial Teasurer.

lotorua correspondent of the Auckland " Iferald " telegraphs that some excitement extes at present amongst the natives residng m the neighbourhood of Lake Rotoki, owing to the determination of one of he hapus to have the Tokerau- Matavhaura block surveyed and passed throujh the Native Lands Court, The other claimants to the land object to any survejof the block being made, and also to its behg brought before any Native Land Court, and openly declare they will shoot the surey party should they appear on their block, giving as a reason that the costs of survjys and the Courts are eating up the laid of the Maori, and they are desirousof preventing all such expenses. BefortMr A. Harrison, J.P., this morning, Jerome Jamille, a well-known camp cook, was chafed with having been drunk. He had com'i to the town from the country a j fortnight ago with a cheque for £25, and I when thepolice found it necessary to arrest him he hid only a shilling m his possession. He was iismissed with a caution on the understating that he would at once go back to work.-John Heron, a cripple, who had been m tie Christchurch Hospital and m receipt of charitable aid, was charged with drunkennss. He had some previous con victionß roistered against him. The police said the nan had no money, but notwith standing lad been able to get the worse of liquor evay evening for some time past. He was living m a tent on the riverbed, and the police die not care to have him sent to gaol because le really was not a criminal. Hi* Worship said the Old Men's Home was very full just low, but that was the best place for prisoner. Heron was remanded for seven days to see what could be done for him m regard ;o getting him m the Home. If he could bt got into the Home there would be no necessity for his reappearance at the bar of the Court, but if not, then he would have to be brought up again. Holioway's Ointment and Pills.—lhe combined ill effects of over-crowding, seden tary occupations, and monotony of life are only too well Vnown to those who have to past the best pavfc ot their lives laboring m factories and crowded workrooms, lhe compulsory confinement weakens the general health and induces chronic constipation, in digestion, and various forms of skin diseases. Holloway's remedies ate of priceless value to peisons ot this class, for they can be used without entailing loss of work, being purely vegetable m their compositions, and conse quently ace without harshness on the most delicate system. The experience of more than forty years proves that no means surpass Holloway's remedies for curing bad legs, bad breasts, piles, and wounds of all kinds.
