The following resolution was ; passed;— "As there is only a bare quorum present, the , matter of wards be left over for a full meeting of the Board, as the member* present consider that if wards ar© estab lished there must be three wards as com bining Clayton and Sherwood Downs, etc,, with Kaincliff, woulii be a great injustice to the former district, and .'in no way mend matters."

The Fuss Over the Boer Generals

Regarding the fuss made over the Boer generals on their arrivall in Edgland, " Civis," in the " Otago Times," makes the following remarks:— When, during the last week of July, 1815, Kf.M.S. Bellerophon, with Napoleon Bona parte a prisoner on board, lay at Plymouth, crowds of people assembled to see *him; shoals of boats—more than" a thousand on fine days—struggled and jostled to get as near the Bellerophon as the guardboats would allow: 'i wo or three ■ persons were drowned; but still the swarm pressed.on. In compliment to the prisoner ' the men wore carnations, and the women waved their handkerchiefs when he appeared on the poop or at the open gangway. To end a display so scandalous and refute^abaurd rumours of a . rescue, the ship had to be hurried out of harbour. Yet only six weeks earlier, June 15-18, the object of this mis directed hero-worship had occasioned the slaughter of 80,000 men, of whom more than 10,000 were British. There is nothing that need surprise us, then, in the wild wel come given by the London mob of 1902 to Botha, De la Rey, and De Wet If Napoleon, as his hope and prayer was, could have got ashore, he might have made! a triumphal progress through the kingdom, might have dined with the Prince Regent, might have re sponded to* complimentary addresses from the Campbell-Bannermans and John Mor leysof the day. That was in 1815. But as the fathers, so the children, f In this year of grace 1902 the three Boer leaders, whose guerilla exploits during the last 18 months have been costing us a million and a quar ter a week and in the gross as many British lives as ended at Waterloo, have to be res cued from the enthusiastic embraces of the Londoners by the police. Mr Seddon and " Tho Times " consider this " exuberance " unseemly. X agree with Mr Seddon and the "Times." But what would you have? Our uational characteristics are what they are, and you can't change them. Botha, De la Rey, and De Wet have put up a good fight and have beeu handsomely knocked out: The British way iv such ca*es is to shake hands over a glass of beer and bear no malice.

I"*HE following unsolicited Testimonial by a gentleman well known in Ash burton, speaks for itself:— Masterton, August 28,1901. Ross Antidote Company, Dear Sirs,—-I feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favour of Ross' Antidote for purifying the blood. I hare 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 and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked "Jack, you look very ill," and you may depend I was. He added, Will you take some medicine if I 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 fco 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 j you like of this. —I remain, yours, etc. J. H. Pauling, Masterton.

DYSPEPSIA & LIVER : DISEASE CUBED BY DX- MOESE'S-INDIAN" BOOT PILLS. Of the hundreds of letters received from people who have derived a benefit from takiug Dr. Morse's Indian Boot Pills, there are lew we take more pleasure in publish ing tha.ii the one from Mr J. H. King, 11 Jersey Terrace, Sydney. His words have the ring of truth, and will carry weight. They are as follow:—"It is ■with the utmost pleasure that I testify to the efficacy of Dr. Morse's Indian Koot Pills in a case of chronic dyspepsia. For many years I suffered from this dire complaint, with its attendant evils; have consulted doctors, and tried innumerable remedies with no beneficial vesult. At last, on the recom mendation of a friend, I purchased a bottle of your pills putting little faith in them), but was surprised after a few days to find my digestion decidedly improved, and now I am pleased to inform you, after a course of your pills, I am perfectly free from all symptoms, have a ' good appetite, and can digest any kind of food." Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills cnre diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. They, are a 1 perfect blood purifier, and a positive cure for biliousness, indigestion, constipation, headaches, sallow complexion, liver and kidney troubles, piles, pimples, boils and blotches and female ailments.

TUSSiCURA, THE GEEAT THEOAT AND LUNG HEALEE. ■TkrrO greater foolishness can be imagined JS than the neglecfe-of those trivial ail ments to which every person is liable, and which frei-juently develop into serious disease. While there exists a remedy like TUSSIGUKA, which reaches the very seat of the trouble and renders dangerous developments impossible, there is no reason why Consumption,, Pleurisy, and Pneumonia should obtain a hold on the system, but at i the same time the danger of delay is so evident that it should be unnecessary to emphasise its importance.
