COLONIAL CONFERENCE

NOTES FEOM WELLINGTON.

(From our Special reporter.)

Wednesday,

The first Colonial Conference of the Far mers' Union, which extended over six days" sitting, concluded its session this morning. The President (Mr J. G. Wilson), occupied the chair.

The Hon. Secretary (Mr E. Hall, of Auck land,) presented a balance sheet, covering the period for that Executive's work from January to June. This showed that the receipts aggregated J8231, and there was a credit balance of _395. The expenses had mainly gone to colonial organisations work. Complimentary references were made to the value of the voluntary work done by Mr Hall during the three months he had occupied the office.

Mr Arthur Glass, general organiser, gave a review of the work he had done in all parts of the colony since be began the work of organisation, in March 1901, which had resulted in the present success of the Union, which now has 25,000 members. Mr Glass gave credit to Mr Fisher and others, who had helped him in organising work. He thought the Union was now so well controlled by the Provincial Councils that there was no further need for a general organiser. That was why he had resigned the offico.

On the conclusion of the statement, Mr Leadley said, amid applause, that there could be no difference of opinion as to the value of the work done by Mr Glass. It was due to his insistance that the Union was what it is, and where it is.

Mr Leadley (Vico-President), said he hoped that the members of the Union throughout the colony would' show its appreciation of Mr Glass's services in a very substantial way. (Hear, hear.)

It was resolved that the Colonial Ex ecutive should prepare a,;, circular for dis tribution amOng branches, pointing Out that services rendered to the Union by Mr Glass as organiser, and urging members to contribute towards a substantial recognition of those services on the occasion of his re tirement from the office of organiser.

In conveying this decision to Mr Glass, the President said, amid applause, that the Conference could not express to him too strongly its thankfulness for the work he had done for the Union as its general organiser.

Mr Glass thanked the Conference for its expression of confidence.

Mr Hood Poverty Bay) sought permiss ion to put a motion in the direction of asking the Government to set up a Royal Commission to inquire into the working of the Co-operative labour system. It was decided that one of the questions to be asked candidates at the general elections should be—" Are you in favour of setting up a Koyal Commission to go into the ques tion of Co-operative labour ? " The re mainder of the sitting was devoted to the j acknowledgement of services rendered by 1 ofiicers of the Union and the Press. In re* plying to some nice things said about his | services as honorary secretary, Mr Edwin | Kail, who is the secretary of the Auckland | Agricultural Society, said tliata great con j venience had been rendered to the con ■ ference by the compilation of subjects for I discussion which. Mr Leadley had very

I thoughtfully had printed. (This was the publication.which bears the imprint of the Ashburton Mail office).

A very high compliment was paid by several delegates to the President for the manner in which he had presided over tha proceedings. Several delegates declared that the con ference was the best and most educative convention they had ever attended. The Conference was brought to a con clusion at 1 o'clock.

INTERPROVINCIAL.

United Press Association—By Electric * Telegraph Wellington, July 11

The Tutanekai has completed the laying of the cable between East Island lighthouse and the mainland. Although the two nearest points are only a mile and a half apart, it was found necessary to pay out five miles of cable in order to avoid the rocky bottom. The cable weighs ten tons per mile, and is the heaviest cable laid in New Zealand waters.

Mr Campbell Campbell, for twenty-three years chief engineer of the Government steamers, is retiring from the service.

The Financial Statement.

Per Press Association—By Electric Telegraph. Stdnet, July 10 The " Daily Telegraph " commenting on the New Zealand Budget, says that it dis?

closes a very enviable position of affairs.

Not only is it satisfactory in respect to thd Governments finance, but the colony un doubtedly continues to enjoy the prosperity that set in ten years ago, and still gives signs of progressive improvement. The " Telegraph " refers to the shrewd ness of the commercial representation abroad in obtaining such a large share of the South African trade, and commends the Government's scheme of small settle ment —an achievment which is notable, and, like the surplus, enviable.

i\ CANCER CURED. BRIEF PARTICULARS OF A REMARKABLE CASE IN THE WELLINGTON DIS v - TRICT. Fullest Information Sent on Application. Mr W. H. MEXTED, a well-known Con " tractor, resident in Nelson street, Petone, has been ill for OVEB, TWO YEARS, with CANCER IN THE BOWELS. First six months had constant craving for meat, had to have meat at meals at least twice a day. He says -.—"Treated by two local doctors, at end of six months the doctors decided to put me under chloroform for examinntion and operation. Placed on milk diet for three days previous, and wasted to a shadow. After examination it was decided to send me to the Wellington Hospital for operation. A hard lump or ridge had been growing for some time at the upper part of the abdomen, and blood and pieces of flesh resembling the lung of a sheep was passing from me daily. I was in the Wellington Hospital two months. Was operated on, and under examination the doctors told Mrs Mexted that the trouble was cancer in the bowels, and was practically incurable. Was taken from the hospital in that condition, being taken to my home on the ambulance stretcher, and in such a weak state they did not think I would reach home alive. Was carried to my bed, and for weeks lay be tween life and death. The local doctors were in regular attendance, and concurred with those of the hospital as to the nature of my complaint, and stated they could do nothing for me. As time went on the doctors ceased calling, telling my wife that my case was hopeless and they could do no more. I was worn away to a skeleton, and daily passing the matter above referred to. My wife then tried various remedies and patent medicines, but there wa3 not the slightest improvement, until, on the advice of friends, 1 started taking PLANTEKOA, and it was not for some time that even this seemed to make any impression, and I was almost giving it up in despair. However, while using the fifth bottle, the discharge gradually ceased," and I began to feel stronger, the hard swelling had almost', disappeared, and I was able to get up and • about for a little. To the joy of my family and friends the improvement continued, ] until at the present time I FEEL SPLEN ' DID. Have been away during Easter to Danevirke and Palmerston North for a trip, and have NOW RESUMED WORK. I consider that PLANTEKOA has COM PLETELY CURED ME. I shall be pleased to answer enquiries by letter or otherwise. —Yours, gratefully, W. H. MEXTED. I can certify that I visited Mr Mexted in the Wellington Hospital, and I never ex pected to see him come out alive, and his - present condition astonishes me. Signed, iW. Shilling, Pilot, Wellington Harbour i Board. This is to certify that I conveyed i Mr Mexted to the hospital in the ambulance, | and two months later brought him home again, and assisted to carry) him from the , ambulance to his bed. Jas.

Eoss Antidote Company, Dear Sirs, —I feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favour of Eoss' Antidote for purifying' the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, etc. My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every known one but yours j and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked " Jack, you look j very ill," and you may depend I was. He I added, Will you take some medicine ii I j procure it; I replied, I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and ;to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man, thanks to your great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this.—l remain, yours, etc. J. H. Pauling, Masterton. * May be obtained from Messes Fletcher Bros., and Shearman Bros., Ashburton. i* ~ ~ Smoke N^w Vpnur
