United Preaa Association—By Electric Telegraph Wellington, September 7 The evidence of Detective Nixon at the inquest on Miss Luke was of a startling nature, as, according to him, when the polce went to Mrs' Henderson'* ehep, tha accused wai caught) with blood smeared instruments of her trade ia her hands, two girla being in the honae at the time. < Deceased's mother was among the witnessed She said she became nearly demented when she discovered her daughter's condition, and wenh to Mrs Henderson to see if she could do anything for her, and paid her - £5. 8h« . was assured there was no danger, accused saying aha had never lost) a case. The Coroner reprobated Mrs Luke's action is severe terms. From the line taken by oron questioning, it would appear- the defence will be that all the mischief had'actually been done when the girl came to the accused. The jury brought in the following verdict—" We find the death of Mary Alice Winifred Luke was due to peritonitis, caused by puncture of the' womb, arising from an illegal operation performed by Mary Henderson "; to which was added a rider severely censuring the mother for the parfe played by her Ohbistceuroh, September 7

At a public meeting at Cheviot on Wednesday the fallowing motions were carried: " That this meeting of Cheviot settlors respectfully wishes to bring under the notice of the Government) the leiiom drawback that the present expensive outlet for produce ia to the settlement, and to remedy ihis they would ask the Government to place a sufficient sum on the estimates to speedily compete the Cheviot section of Waipara Awatere Railway." "That thu meeting would request Mr Meredith to call a meeting of the Canterbury member! and arrange to wait upon the Minister of Public Workß in view "of the Public Works Statement and would urge that a substantial sum be placed on the Estimates for the completion of the Cheviot section of the W&ipara Cheviot Railway," At a meeting of the Indian Famine Fund Committee, the Mayor of Christohnroh stated that it was intended to close the fund. People bad done fairly well considering the number of claims on their money, and the fact that the Government had sent five thousand. The amount raised had quit* reached that which had been anticipated. The balance sheet showed th/ib theie had been received to date £2,295, of which £1900 had been remitted to India* The Bank balance was £363, and sundry expense! amounted to £25, and there would be over £300 still to be remitted to India. It was decided to close the general fund, remit the balance to India, and hand over any future subscriptions to religious bodies. Wanganoi.

Six Months in Bed in the ■ Wellington Hospital and Undergoes an Operation but 'Plantekoa' cures Him, also cures His Daughter of Chicken Pox. Victoria Street. Petone, Nor, 22, '99i To Proptiators, Piaatekoa liemediss. Dear Sirs.—For over three years I have suffered from ETydatlds and Knlargement of the Liver. Two years ago I was admitted to the Wellington Hospital, and j after cmful and thorough examination by the doctors, it was decided that I should undergo an operation. My condition at that time was very low, my liver being swollen to such an extent that the doctor outlined ib on thn skin with a pencil. I remained in the Hospital six months, most) of the tima confined to my bed. and although every attention was bestowed upon me by the doctors and others, I left that institution very lit*le improved in I health. However, 1 resumed my usual occupation at the local Gasworks, bnt shortly after was compelled to ley up again, this time with Jaundice in addition to my old complaint. You can readily understand my condition waa awful. I suffered terribly with pain in the stomach and bowels. The feeling used to be of a sinking nature, with gnawing sensations in the pit of the stomach, usually coming on about an hour after meals. No medicine I tried did me any permanent good, until I used your wonderful PLaNTEKOA. This medicine seemed to attack the disease almost at < nee, and after giving it a fair trial, it has fulfilled my highest expecta tions. The pain at the stomach is gone, my liver haß resumed it* natural state, the jaundice has disappeared, and my skin is now quite e'ear. My appetite is splendid, and I can eat and sleep and work now with pleasure and comfort. I mlghb aleo add to thia note that while using Planbekoa, we gave some to our little girl, who had ] fche chicken pox very badiy. In con jane tion with JPlantekoa Oiritmentya cure was soon brought about. I give you this testimonial of my own free will, and shall be pleased to answer any enquiries relative to my case, either personally or by letter. (Signed) Stewart Dundas Gobdon.
