THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.

United Press Association — By Electrio Telegraph. Wellington, July 2t Mr Seddon told a Went Coast deputation last night that tha Midland Railway Company wa9 proving a regular •• old man of the sea." It had kept back progress on the West Coast for years, and nothing that could now be done would ever compensate for one loss. He calculated Government would not be m & position to go on for twelve months to come. Ab present the legal position of the Government was being tested, and if that point were decided, they would know where they stood. Government was formerly of opinion that if six months' notice were given of the penalties claimed for nonfulSlmeat of contract, and if those were not paid within three months after wards, final foreclosure could take place. That point was now contested, and personally he was inclined to think the contention would prove successful. The midland business had been a perfect curse to some parts of the colony.

MUNICIPAL CONFERENCE.

United Press *s«ooiatioi — 3y Eleotrio Telegraph. Wellington, July 10 The Municipal Conference spent) tue day discussing the report of the committee on the Municipal Corporations Bill. It wa« I ageeed that the Governor, on petit ion, slioulJ be empowered to declare a divi»ion of a borough into wards ; • hat candidates for a mayoralty should deposit £10; that, councillors should retire by rotation instead of the whole number going out every two years ; that the clause requiring the appor tionment of the expenditure amongst the wards m proportion lo the rates collected therein should be struck out ; and that the insurance companies should be compelled to contribute one-third of the maintenance of tire brigades. Considerable discursion took place over the motion as to whether the boroughs should take over charitable aid or not. On _ the motion of Cr Gray (Christchurph), it w&b resolved that the charitable aid and hospitals should be left to the district boards as at present, and that clauses 406 to 414 do noc meet with approval of the oonference. The conference adjourned till to-morrow when an effort will be made to finish the business. Wellington, July 21 At die Municipal Conference this morning several amendments were suggested m the Municipal Corporation Bill, the chief oi which was that the qualification of s councillor should be that he be a ratepayer. It waß decided that the licensing elections should be m the hands of the local authorities ; that councils should have more satisfactory control over billiard and other such rooms situated m other than hotel premises ; that largely increased towers should be conferred on councils m regard to the inspection of licensed premises, and the cancellation of licenses ; that further police assistance ought to be given m enforcing by-laws ; that Government should endeavor to bring into operation a universal intercolonial law to treat all deserters of wives and children as fugitives. It was decided that electric powers for lighting and tramways should be vested m local authorities controlled by a poll of rate payers • thab provision be made for the expense of fighting teßt cases of a nature generally affecting corporations by a levy p>o rata on affiliated corporations ; that dwellings owned by Government and occu pied by Government offioials should be rated. An amendment was suggested m the Muni cipal Corporations Bill to enable oities or boroughs to pay an annual retiring allow ance to their officers after a continuous service of not less than 25 years— such allow ances m no case to be more than two-thirds of the salary being paid to the officer at the time of retirement. The Mayors of Auckland, Chrietchurch, Dunedin, and Nelson were elected Vice- Presidents of the Municipal Association. A Committee was set up to watch the legislation affecting municipalities.

TESTIMONIALS. To Mr F. Fbrriman, I Dear Sir, —l have taken great pains tj see how the above Collars would answer, and as you have taken over the agency for them I am sending you this testimonial, hopiDg you will use it for the benefit oi the farming community, as I am Eatiafied the Steel Collar is a great boon to this county ou account of the great heat and boulders we have to contend with. I have used them for carting shingle m riverbeds and find that they ease the horses very much. I have also used them m the hottest part of summer to put m turnips, and find the horses wearing the Steel Collars finished much fresher and took less feed to keep them m condition than those working m the leather collars. I had a mare sent to me with her shoulders quite raw, and her owner could not cure them. I started to work her m the Steel Collar, and within a month had her as Bound as possible. Anothor man sent me a mare with a tumor on her shoulder. I worked her m a Steel Collar and had her well m a week. In fact I do not think they can be too highly praised, and if once used no other sort will be used again. At the same time I would like to remind all that use them that they must be kept quite clean, a rub with a wet cloth is all that is required. F. A. BAUNDERS. Mayfield. Ashburton, February 12, 1898 Mr F. Fbrriman. Dear Sir,— About month ago I purchased one of your Steet Horse Collars for one of my horses, which I found ib impossible to work with the leather collar, though I tried every device m stuffing and padding I could think of. I at last decided to buy a Steel Collar, and since then I have worked the horse constantly, and he haß done his work with the greatest ease, and is ontirely free from sore shoulders. I am bo satisfied with this one that I intend going m for another. Yours Truly, WM. HUSTON. AGENT FOR ASHBURTON F. FERRIMAN.

A Great Sufferer from General Debility and Weakness Says DR. AVER'S SARSAPJUUIIA F SAVED HER LIFE. We give below a testimonial from Mrs. M. Cracknell of Hilton, So. Australia, who also sends us her portrait : " Some two years ago I was suffering from general debility, weakness, etc., and was so ill that I thought I never would be well again. I had the advice of two medical men and took much medicine, but I derived no good what- ever. My husband was telling a friend how very ill I was and this friend told him to get for me Ayer's Sarsapariija He did so and I took three bottles. I felt a great deal better. I continued taking it and jn all I took eight bottles and was able to resume my household duties as well as I ever was. I feel sure that Ayer's Sarsaparilla was the means of saving my life. I strongly re- commend it to anyone who is suffering as I did and if they will only persevere iv its use I feel positive it will cu,re them." For constipation take Dr. Ayer's Pills. They promptly relieve and surely cure. Take them With Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla ; one aids tho other.. ■
