' Cecil Rhodes, m the course of an election speech, said the best solution of the difficulties of South Africa would be for him to meet Kruger and compare notes. This, however, was impossible. One-eighteenth of Kruger's burghers, he added, had settled m Rhodesia. If Kruger did not look out Rhodesia would soon have half the burghers.

THE PENSHURST ROBBERY.

•- m United Press Association — By Electric Telegraph— Copyright Melbourne, August 6 Ryan; arreßted m connection with the Penshurst robbery, has been iden tified as James Slattery, at one time a prominent figure m labor movements m the western district. In 1896 he was sentenced at Adelaide to three and a half years' imprisonment for a series of clever mining scrip forgeries, but released last month. Jamieeon was m sole charge at Penshurst. The robber pretended to show important docu ments and covered Jamieson with a revolver. He then scrambled over the counter, compelled Jamieson to lie down, stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth, tied his hands and legs, drew the blinds and leisurely ransacked the bank. Last week the wires on both sides of the town were cut, evidently m order to test how long it would take to repair them.

The Racing Clubs. — As sport m the county owea not a little to Mr Edward Gates, who until very recently wrb Chair man of Committee is both Tinwald and Aehburton Clubs, hi» opinion on the present situation as between the two Cubs io worthy of some consideration and ought to carry no little weight. In regard to the name of the proposed amalgamated Club, he thinks Tinwald is entitled to some recognition, and that ita name should be retained m the title. Ab to the ability of the district to maintain sport, he is of opinion that an amalgamated Club— and no one more ardently than he desires to see an amalgamation brought about— would be strong enough to run three meetings annually m the county, giv ing £2000 m stakeß. He would apportion the meetings thus :— A Bpring meeting at Aahburton (one day) with £400 m stakes ; a summer meeting of two days nt Tinwald, with £800 (£4OO a day) m stakes ; and an autumn meeting ab Ashburton, two days, also £400 Bk day. The rules of racing require that these amounts should be given, and Mr Gates is quite sure that with an amalgamated and thoroughly united Club there would bo do difficulty m complying with these ruler.

You didn b see that gny hair coming. All at once— it was t hare. Now behold how many worse things are like that, and learn a valuable lfeson. , _, , , 'Up io March, 18 I,' says Mr John Muri-ny, ' 1 nevt.r had siiy bness m mj life. Then, suddenly, as it were, I fuU lhat something was wrong with me. At firat I had an awful bitter taste m the mouth, and after eating I had a pam ab the chest and a horrible sensation at the stomach, as of a hot iron burning me. ' I vomited all the food t partook of, and sometimes I threw up blood. No thing I ate would remain on my stomach more than a few minutes, and I was afraid to lake any solid food. Even milk and slops distressed me. • Being unable to leave the hoaae 1 sent for a doctor, who said that my stomach was ulcerated. He gave me medicines of different kinds, and recommended applica tions ; but nothing gave me any relief, and I grew worse and worse. •In spite of the soothing drops I took I got no Bleep night nr day. The pain was so severe that I could not lie down m bed. 1 After four months suffering I was removed to the Grantown Hospital, where I -had the best mtdical treatment and diet. I whs fed solely on liquid food, and my i stomach was so itifl <mcd and sore that I threw up most of it. After five weeks m the hoepital I was worse than ever and returned homß. There I lingered on m great pain and weakness month after month. I was now pale as death and so weak I could not draw one foot after the other, ' I had given up all hopes of recovery, and was gradually wasting away, expecting no relief except m death, which I thought could not be far away. ' This was m February, 1892. It was then I first heard of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and made up my mind to see whether they could possibly be any virtue m it for so desperate a case as mine. ' Not being able to procure the Syrup m our neighborhood my son wrote to London for a 6npply. It may Beem hard to believe, but it is true, that the first few boxes gave me welcome relitf. Con tinuing to take it I was soon able to take nourishing food, and felt my strength coming back. After a little all pain left me, and I have never ailed anything since ; but can follow the hounds and— do any kitd of work. * I thank my Creator for making Mother Seigel's Syrup known to me, for without it I should now be mmy grave. You are welcome to publish thfa to all the world. Signed) John Murray, Cragmore CoUage Abernethey (near Balmoral), Grantown, August 28, 1893.' Mr Murray is a roan of high character, and well known m the district. He is m the employ of D. Jardine, Esq., of Rai rock Lodge. His disease was acute it flammatory dyspepsia, for an attack of which (uncou>ciously to himself) his tydtem had long been preparing. What seems a sadden illness, fif ys an eminent physician, 'is but the climax of a series of changes which have been going on for a considerable time, the sUghfc warning symptoms not having been noticed by the patient. 1 So erey h<jirs come. So diseases come. So death comes. Watch for the earlier signs ani keep Mother fcjeigcl's Syrup close at hnnd.
