Swollen Neck


Heart How Cured.
"My daughter had a swollen neck and
also heart trouble. After the least exertion
she would breathe SO hard she could be
heard all over the room. She could not
sweep the floor or even move her arms
without affecting her heart. Her limbs
were badly bloated. Her father insisted
that she must take Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and we gave her about six bottles, when
she was cured, and there has been no re-

Baptist Church Extension.

Congregations at both morning and
evening services at the Baptist church are
so rapidly increasing that there is urgent
need of enlarging the Westinghouse. The
pastor has long foreseen this exigency and
has been quietly at work devising ways and
means and encouraging the growing senti-
ment among his people in favor Of looking
the situation squarely in the face and ris-
ing to the occasion, but last Sunday he
spoke from the pulpit on the subject in
words Of no uncertain sound. While
advocating lengthening the cords and
strengthening the stakes, he spoke feel
ingly Of the unanimity which has always
obtained in every undertaking Of the
church during his nine years. pastorate and
expressed himself as unwilling to take any
step in which the Lord did not lead and
the people follow in perfect harmony and
with good will on the part of every in
dividual.
The special theme upon which he spoke
was "The Meeting House as an Exponent
Of the Religious Life OF Community. >
His closing point was that the meeting
house of today is undergoing an evolution.
1.-The time is fast passing" he said, ''for it
to be regarded as place for worship only
as the sphere of religion broadens. the
function OF the Westinghouse broadeni
with it. Religion today is permeating and
transforming the entire life. This is un.
doubtedly its certain trend, and this means
q demand for new facilities and instru.
ments; and for these the eyes of the people
are turning more and more toward the cen.
trail structure whose doors in the past have
been opened usually but one day in sever
and this for distinctively religious exercises
only. But already encroachments have
been made. Already social features have
entered in and have come to assume per.
manent place, so that those churches which
do not have them feel that they are labor.
ing at serious disadvantage. The we'll.
equipped kitchen, for instance, and thing.
needful for dining room; parlor car.
peted and furnished in parlor fashion. and
a Sunday school room adapted to the
needs OF the different grades-these things
at least, are almost absolute essentials to
the present day church building and sew.
eral others that might be named are knock
ing loudly at the door for admission and
will certainly have place assigned to them
before long"

THE SIEGE or MAFEKING.
Beers Shell Hospital and Women
Matrimony Continues.

LONDON. November $3.50 A. NJ
There is no additional news regarding
the progress Of hostilities in South AT
RIGA this morning, except a dispatch from
Mafekine, forwarded by runner, dated
October 31st, which says that during the
afternoon General CrOnje, the Boer com
mander, sent an envoy 20 Colonel BADEN
Powell, under a flag Of truce, 70 declare
that he did not consider that tho Geneva
convention authorized the nag OF the Red
Cross Society to fly from several build
ings at once IN the town, and tnat, IN MS
opinion, tho employment or natives
agains. whites and tho use Of dynamite
mines, were both opposed 10 tho rules or
war. Colonel Baden-POwel replied that
ths Geneva convention did not stipulate
as 10 tho number Of Red Cross stations
permissible and that the Beers wero only
required TO respect the convent, the hos
pltal. and the Women's lager, all OF
which wera beyond the town limits. The
British Commander also pointed out that
mines were recognized adjuncts OF civil
lied warfare, and that the defences OF
Pretoria were extensively mined. More
over. no reminded General CronJe that
the Beers had fired upon natives, burned
their lxraals. and raided their cattle, and
that the natives only defended their lives
and property.
Despite three warnings from Colonel
Baden Powell the Beers continued deiib-
erately 10 shell the hospital and the wo-
mems lager. The sending Of the Boer
envoy was regarded, the dispatch says, as
a mere pretext for penetrating the
British lines at Mafeking.
According 20 the latest reports, the
town is confident OF It's ability to hold
out until the end OF the campaign.
WEDDINGS AT MAFEKING.
So far as known, the mental condition
OF the British there may be judged from
the fact that three weddings have taken
place since the siege began, the last
having been celebrated on November
The great delay on South African ca
bles. now amounting 10 practically fiye
days. and the lack OF any definite news
from Ladysmith, gives rise 10 some APP
prehenson, which Is only relieved by the
fact that no adverse tidlngs have come
from either British or Boer sources.
Nothing is known as to the whereabouts
OF Sir RedVers Butler. Her AaJestys
steamer Powerful has arrived at Simons
BAY. from Durham. and begun % coal.
The cruiser will return 10 Durham inn

The State Board OF Fisheries will meet
in this city to-day.
The chief business to oe transacted is
the preparation Of the report to the Gene

nor has already been made.
Amendments TO the law creating the
board are very badly needed" said sena-
tor George Is. keezeli, a member OF the
board, at Murphy's last night. I'VE have
got to have some sort OF check on the
inspectors. With the law in it's present
state there Is none. We cannot tell when
they are doing their duty. IL is very
much like trying 10 run a county without
commissioners OF the revenue.
I'VE want the leaseholcings OF every
planter placed on record" continued Mr..
keezell. This might cost as much as
$1,000. but II Is an absolute necessity. Al
present we are going in a most haphazard
way"
Regarding the probability OF an effort
being made 10 initiate legislation this
winter looking to the sale or lease OF

said he knew nothing.

be less anti-pianter legislation, and more
looking TO putting upon the tongers their

every law on the subject seems TO nave

tOngers can only be taxed 40 cents on
