LLANBADARN PETTY SESSIONS. The monthly Petty Sessions, were held on Thursday last, before Dr. Morgan (\ant- ceirio), Major J. J. Bonsall, J. U. Hughes- lionsall, Mr. B. E. Morgan, and Mr. Griffith Evans. Straying. Wm. Egerton, of Park-street, Birmingham, hawker, was summoned by Supt. Jones with allowing five horses to stray on the highway at Ysbytty Cynfyn on August 30th. Evi- dence having been given by P.C. Evans, defendant was fined the maximum penalty, namely, 5s. for each animal, or a total of Host* Reckless Motor Driving. Arthur Burke, 59, Lambeth, Palace-road, Westminster, London, chaffeur, was charged by Chief Constable Williams with driving a motor car in a manner which was danger- ous to the public on the highway at Llan- badarn on August 16th. Defendant did not appear. Herbert Austin, Midway Gardens, Lianbddarn, deposed that at six p.m. on the date in question he was leaving his garden in company of Herbert Pateman. A motor car, driven by the defendant, crme along at the same time, and passed him "within a foot. It Mas travelling at a dangerous pace, and on looking round he &aw Pateman, who was; standing close to the wall, being; caught by the hood of the -car and rolled along the wall for some dis- tance. The hood of the car was torn off, and then he lost sight of the boy. On running up he found the boy in the gateway leading to the aerated water works, trying to rise from the ground. He was badly bruised, and his coat (produced) was torn to tatters. He took the boy to the Aber- ystwyth Infirmary, and saw his left side, which was struck by the car. It was cover- ed with bruises. The car was travelling when it struck the boy, at least twenty miles an hour. The driver was trying to pass two other vehicles on the road, a thing which no sane man would have attempted. He knew the defendant, having seen him driv- ing about the place very often. Defendant pulled uo the car at a distance of about ten yards after striking the boy. He (witness) spoke to him He could not say he was under the influence of drink, but he looked excited and flushed. Herbert Pateman said he was fourteen years of age. Hc heard the car coming behind, and immedi- ately jumped to the wall at the side. He had no sooner done so when he was struck by the hood of the car and drawn along the wall to the entrance of the mineral water works. He was badly bruised and was taken to the Infirmary, where he was detained for a week.—Inspector David Phillips said at about 8 p.m. the same night he visited thp spot accompanied by the Chief Constable and by Mr Austin. It was a wet evening, and the marl.s of the car wheels were quite dis- tinct. He measured the distance between the off-side wheel mark and the wall and for a distance of fifteen yards there was only a space of 12 to 15 inches, and at the spot where the boy wps struck there was on!v a spaco of eleven inches. Hp, sub^couentfr-, examined the car, and found that the splash board_ overlapped the wheel to the extent of four inches, thus the distance between the splash Sboard and ti. wn.ll was only some seven or eight inches. The hoed of the car was brought to thft Aberystwyth. Police Sta- tion, and had since been claimed: by Mr. Wood, defendant's employer. The iron part of the àood on the right side was broken off,, and there were marks on the canvass. Mr. Hughes-Bonsall said defen- dant ought to be thankful he was -not. up cm a charge of manslaughter. — In reply to the Bench, the Chief Constable said the defendant was in the employ of the Llan- drindod Automobile Company at the, time. He was now engaged as a mechanic in.Bir- mingham. The Bench vere divided as to whether the fine should be tIO and. costs or £20 and costs. Major Bonsall: Fine him as much as you can. I hate moters and bi- cycles. A fine of £20 and costs, in de- fault three months' liard labour, was then i l'n posed. It was stated by tire Chief Constable that the defendant's license held good until Nov- ember 1st.—Tine Bench decided, to suspend the license, and also declared him to be an unfit person to aold a for the subsequent twelve months.

On Wednesday the "Ked Williams" silver challenge cup was 90 competed for the first time by the members of the Cardigan Golf Club at the links at Gwbert-on-Sea. The cup, which is a hand- some piece of plate, valued at E15, artisti- cally chased and engraved, was presented to the Club for competition by Mrs. Williams, the widow-of the late Mr E L Williams, who for several years was the licensee of the Gwbert Hotel and the lessee of the Gwbert- on-Sea Estate. He was an ardent golfer, and did much useful service to. the local club in maintaining a strong interest in the Royal and Ancient Game. The com- petition was of 18 holes (twice round the course), and open to all amateurs on handi- cap, 30 being the maximum handicap on a bogey of 80. Each competitor was re- quired to pay an entrance fee of 2s. 6d., which would form a sweepstake, half to go to the winner of the cup, and half to the sender-in of the best scratch card. If, however, the winner merited both prizes. two-thirds of the sweepstake would go to him and the remaining third to the compe- titor who made the next least number of strokes. Thanks to the efforts of the com- mittee the course had been rendered in perfect condition, and ideal weather for pievailed, although the wind, which1 blew from the south-west, made itself felt here and there. Twelve competitors start- eà, and play commenced just before qlid- day. A close competition was generally ex- pected but long before the last hole was reached, the Vicar, the Rev. D. J. Evans, had asserted his supremacy, and Tie finish- ed up with the remarkably good gross score "nr -1 ^:JS was on]y gross score below c i anT-r to be playing the game ot his We. There was a good contest for P^ACEJ E 0 Evans getting round in 109 strokes and Mr D T Georce, Newcastle r.mlyn, m 115, but when the handicap de- ductions were mode, the latter took pride of n.aoe over Mr. Evans with two points in favour. -Altogether the competition was a very successful one, and was thor- SnT y hy al! who took part in it. x ben play was over the members repaired to the Gwbert Hotel when dinner was par- taken of, and the cun was presented to the Vicr on behalf of the donor by the Rev.

Daniel's oil store at his ironmongery warehouse in Chancery-lane, Cardigan, on Thursday night, caused a great deal of excitement amongst tne townspeople. The first intimation that a fare had broken out was conveyed by means of the fire-bell, which was set in motion at the soonest possible moment. The precise cause of the outbreak has not been ascer- tained, but according to the statement of an apprentice who went to the store to draw ryff haif-a-gaiion of petroleum a few minutes before eight o clock, carrying with iim i safety lamp, it appears that he had no sooner placed the lamp on the floor than he was immediately surrounded with flames in the most unaccountable manner. Singuiarlv enough the apprentice was on the point of taking with him a stable lamp, but, being warned of the danger he would incur in so doing he altered his purpose. The Fire Brigade quickly arrived on the scene, and, T" directions, of the captain, Mr. D' J. Thomas, fixed and brought into play the 'cf; quickly seen that their only "va-lablo efforts would be in the direction of preventing the flames spreading to the ad- joining buildings, for so fiercely did the fire rage that within about 15 minutes of the alarm the flames burst through the rex f and mounted to a considerable height. This was to be expected, seeing the Inflammable nature of the contents of the store for in addition to a 150-gallon tank of petroleum, which alooe roared like a furnace, there '^re numerous barrels and jars of other oils, jncludmg a, £ 6 barrel of olive oil, two £ 4 barrels of linseed oil, and a large quan- tity of machine and other oils, besides £ ?rf™ately, the walls were of considerable thickness, and there was only slight communication with the adjoining warehouse, from which latter place the fire was only kept by the untiring efforts of several who kept a constant flow of water on the wooden partition. Another fortunate faet,o,r was the absence of any wind, which, had there being any, would have jeopardised

Medicinal Treasures of I Ancient Civilisation. A WONDERFUL REMEDY REVEALED. KER-NAK SOOTHES WHILE IT CURES." The Persians when the ruling nation of the East, made a fashion of fruit eating. Their conquered subjects, the Egyptians, were, however, the first to learn the art of converting certain valuable portions of fruit into potent medicines. Through the rcypti;ins, the medicinal value of fruit be- came known to the Greeks and Romans, and the art eventually reached Great Britain as a carefully-guarded secret of the Italian monks. Twentieth century science has made great strides in the direction of Natural medicines. There is now brought within the reach of all the most wonderful medicine of all—K>M- N-ak—which is compressed into the handy form of 'a small pill, and is pronounced by .aJI who have tried it to be the most natural •and most potent remedy for liver, stomach and bowel troubles. Ker-Nak rises superior to the old-fashion- ed, drastic remedies in that it contains no unnaturally searching drugs and minerals, and not only cures an ailment, but is a pro- tection against its re-appearance. The timely use of Ker-Nak may bo de- pended upon to rescue a. person from the clutches of one or other of the disastrous diseases of the liver, stomach, and bowels. Ker-Nak, indeed, leaves old-fashioned mineral pills far in the background. In. its concentrated pill form, Ker-Nak con- tains certain essences and oils, the valuable constituents of fresh, ripe fruit in associa- tion with wholesome vegetable extracts. Thus Ker-Nak is a compact medicine, a natural and ideal remedy, possessing the laxative and curative equivalent of many fruits rolled into one. Ker-Nak alleviates and checks disease in a soothing and natural way. Cheap and nauseous mineral drugs are thus entirely superseded by Ker-Nak. To understand the enormous superiority of Ker-Nak over old-fashioned remedies, 01 e has but to call to mind the manner in which drastic drugs act, "scouring" and injuring, the membrane or delicate lining of the bowels, frequently paralysing the muscles which lie beneath the lining, and thus weak- ening, when not entirely suspending the natural action of the organs. Ker-Nak is unique in that it soothes end <x>mforts the organs while ridding them of their trouble, and thus it builds up the mem- brane, which old remedies tend to destroy. Ker-Nak, as it were, lifts the patient into a sound, healthy condition. The most ob- stinate and long-standing symptoms of liver, stomach, and bowel troubles disappear under the potent and soothing- in.fluence that is stored up in the small compass of a Kci-Nak piil. As a family medicine without equal, Ker- Nak is already widely recognised. A little case of Ker-Nak is a veritable medicine chest in minature. Kept ever at hand, ready to resort to the moment one has that out-of-sorts feeling or a sense of sickliness Ker-Nak will save you many pounds in doctors' bills. Ker-Nak is not only a remedy for, but a protection against constipation, indiges- tion, bilious attacks, headache, nausea, flatulence or wind, depression, anaemia, femine ailments, pale, sallow, and sickly complexions, Sleeplessness, palpitation, aches and pains in the back and loins, short- ness of breath, pimples, blood impurities, heartburn, loss of appetite, bad breath, piles, chill on the liver or kidneys causing head- ache; and other prevalent liver, stomach, and bowel troubles, rheumatic gout, in- fluenza and its after-effects, and the many ailments developed by the cold weather. Sold by all chemists and stores, and by the de proprietors, Ker-Nak Natural Remedy, Ltd., Turnmill St., London, E.C.. in 1111 and 2/9 cases. Ker-Nak is gentle yet thorough; it soothes while it cures.

Mr Lloyd-George. DR. ROBERTSON NICOLL'S ATTACK. The "British Weekly" discusses with great frankness the political situation in Wales, in reference to the position of Welsh Disestablishment, and especially the atti- tude of Mr. Lloyd-George. In the course of. a long article it says:— "It is now a good many years since the Gladstone-Rosebery Government took up the question, and a bill was brought in by Mr. Asquith. The Government was a very weak one, with a small majority. Mr. Gladstone was by no means friendly to Welsh Disestablishment, and the colour of the Ad- ministration was Whiggish. Nevertheless, by the persistent efforts of Mr. Lloyd-George. efforts which we did our humble best to re- inforce, a reluctant and timid Government was compelled to take up the question. This registered a great step in advance, though it failed at the time. We now know the general lines on which Welsh Disestab- lishment and disendowment will proceed. If we had said to Mr. Lloyd-George while this battle was raging: 'Twelve years after this the Liberals will be in power by an un- precedented majority; the Welsh represen- tation will be unanimously Liberal; you I yourself will be a leading Cabinet Minister, and the Government, with your express sup- port, will give the go-by to Welsh Disestab- lishment, what would Mr. Lloyd-George have said? He would have said: "Is thy ser- vant a do that he should do this thing Yet all this has happened. Mr. Lloyd- George has proved himself an administrator of the first rank, and we are oonvinoed that in his inmost heart he is as faithful as ever to the Free Church principles, the advocacy of which has made him famous. But he has yielded to the breath of officialism, 'lime after time he has avoided Nonoonfor- mist meetings, time after time he has gone down to them and talked about his being a Welsh village lad, and all the rest of it, fencing with the question Disestablishment and declining to commit himself to any de- finite pledge or promise. The infection of his example has spread largely among the Welsh members, and we do not think that at any time within our recollection the Welsh party has ever been so powerless or of so little account in the House of Commons as it is to-day. True, individual members have received promotion of various kinds, and more such promotions are coming, but the Welsh cause has gone steadily back. We will not be so ungenerous as to dwell on what has taken place in connection with the Welsh Church Commission, the Welsh revolt, the education authority for Wales, the provi- sions as to secondary schools. But the Welsh people and the English Nonconfor- mists also are well aware of all this, apd they know that, so far as Wales is concerned, the Government havb steadily proceeded from blunder to blunder. The effect of all this is most serious. Mr. Lloyd-George's career is one thing, although we venture to say that it is a matter of public concern as well as of private. He is so clever a man that he may be able to do without. Nonconformist support, though we do not believe it. His responsibilities to Wales are the heaviest and gravest that arc borne by anyone. So long as lie is hesitant many of the Welsh party are hesitant also. The fibre is relaxed. Amid the crowding and jostling claims that press upon the Liberal Government nothing :s easier than to push Welsh Disestablish- ment aside. It is, then, the imperative duty of the Welsh Nonconformists to take promo*, and firm action. "If we may venture to advise the Non- conformist Convention, which is to meet- at. Cardiff on October 10th, 1907, we should counsel them to insist that in the fourth ses- sion of Parliament a bill for Welsh Disest-ab- lishment and Disendowment should be brought in and pressed with the whole force of the Government. We should -not, exact any pledge to push it through. It is quite possible that dissolution may be at hand, and the favourable moment for the dissolu- tion should be chosen. What is necessary is that the terms of the Welsh bill should be known to the country, and that the appeal should be made to the country on these terms. If Mr. M'Kenna's Education Bill is rejected, we do not see how an appeal to the nation can be held over after the fourth session. What, then, the Welsh Noncon- formists must do is to secure their place in the fourth session. They must re nember that neither Mr. Lloyd-George nor any Minister has given them any definite assur- ance of this. There is plenty of talk, but there is no pledge, except pledges from men who are not commissioned to give them. We say that the Welsh Nonconformists, if they choose, can very speedily enforce such a pledge from the Government. If they fail to do it the ruin of their political hopes rests upon themselves. It will be no use blaming the members. The members can be brought to reason. No matter what bribes are offer- ed to them, they should be taught that they must keep their election pledges, and do the will of their constituencies, or give place to other men. Every Welsh member ought to be communicated with and requested to state his views. Those of them, who will not comply with a request which is far below v. hat might be reasonably be urged should receive notice at once. Candidates will be found who know their principles, and are not 'on the make.'

Through side-slipping on Sunday on reaching the bottom of a hill at Esher, William Tomlin- 8on, a motor-cyclist, of Kennington, was so badly injured that he was taken to the hospital. Pinned to the coat of a man found drowned in Regent's Canal, near St. Mark's Bridge, was a. piece of paper bearing the words: "John Townshend, Victoria-road, Kentish Town." Mr. Edward James Stanley, who sat as Con- servative member for West Somerset from 1882 to 1885 and for the Bridgwatcr Division from 1885 to 1906, died on Saturday at Bridgwater, aged eighty-one.

Queen Alexandra and the Dowager Empress of Russia on Saturday laid wreaths upon the tombs of King Christian and Queen Louise in the cathedral at Roskilde (Denmark). Part of a pinnacle over the great west front of Exeter Cathedral became dislodged on Satur- day, and crashed to the pavement below, where 4 man had been a couple of seconds before. During a dense fog the tug Devonian, of Sun- derland, struck the rocks south of Seaham Har- bour on Saturday and sank in deep water, the crew being rescued after nearly two hours' des- perate struggle to keep afloat in a dinghy. While, speaking at an open-air meeting on Parliament Hill, Mr. Samuel Mainwaring, of Fortees-road, fell back in a faint, and when a doctor, jess -summoned he was found to daad. Speakflljj* Tin truthfulness at a meeting in Not- tingham, Sir Joseph Bright said there was an astonishing tendency among golfers to omit counting some of the strokes they made when speaking of same great performance.

Considerably the surrounding property. As it was the fire caught the roof of Mr. Lloyd Luke's warehouse under the eaves, and was creeping slowly up the roof under the slates, but it was put out just in time. While good work was being done by the hose from the top of a ladder, others were usefully employed under the direction of Mr. J. Daniel in pour- ing buckets of water upon burning debris in the basement, and also in throwing sand- which was being used for mending the roads -Rp-on the blazing barrels and tank, and it m,as by this means that the conflagration I was ultimately subdued. The fire lasted for two hours, and all that was left standing irere the four trails. There was a loft above the store, in which was a quantity of thatch cord, wheel spokes, <etc., all of which was, of course, destroyed. The damage, including that done by smoke and water, is estimated at over £ 200, and was covered by insurance. Much sympathy is felt with Mr. Daniel, who has been singularly unfortunate within the past six or sevliI. years with regard to fires. It is about seven years ago that his oil store, then situated in another port of tie warehouse, was destroyed by fire owing to some benzoline overflowing into the safety lamp. Sauce that time, in order to prevent a, similar occurrence, Mr. Daniel has not stocked thait dangerous oil. A watch was kept by Mr. Daniel and others all Thursday inght, and although the smouldering debris required very frequent attention, no serious symptoms made- themselves mani- fest. Practically the whole day previoos to the fire Mr. Daniel had been at Fishguard, and he "had returned only a few minutes when ihfc was apprised of the occurrence. BOARD OF GUARDIANS. PUBIilC VACCINATORS DISSATISFIED. The fortnightly meeting of the Cardigan Board of Guardians was held at the Union Workhouse, St. Dogmells on Thursday, when the chairman of the Board, Mr. B. Rees, presided. The other members pre- ( sent were the Revs. J. Williams" J. D. Evans, and Job Evans; Messrs T. Colby, D. Davies, T. Lewis, Thos Griffiths, Lewis Dav- ies, H. O. Davies, John Rees, T. Evans, and T. Jones; with the clerk (Mr. D. Dav- ies) and the assistant clerk (Mr. T. J. Kendal). Master's Re-port. The Master reported that the number in the house was 51 against 49 for the corres- ponding period of last year. During the fortnight two had been admitted and three discharged. The vagrants relieved num- bered 25 against 32 at the same time of last year. The ministers who attended were the Rev. S. G. Bowen, Penuel; and the Rev. Job Evans, Moylgrove. Estimates of Provisions. The Board considered the estimate of pro- visions, etc., required for the house dming the ensuing twelve months, and suggestions for inspecting samples.—The Clerk said he, hadi a list of certain articles wanted, but the estimate of the clothing was -not, complete. He proposed, when it was completed, to furnish each tradesman with a list of the things, and the quantities required for the year.-Ip- reply to the Rev. J. Williams, the Clerk aia it would be made clear that the quantities stated were only estimated.— The Chairman said it was a new, thing to do as suggested, formerly they used only to send out posters.—The Clerk replied that the tradesmen would now have to tender on a form which would be supplied by him, and they would be required to send in one sample of each article at a stated price. Where a number of similar articles by vari- ous makers were obtainable, such as flour, soap, etc., a particular maker and brand were specified.—The Rev. J. Williams en- quired if the tea and other commodities would be sent in in paper of one colour or several colours.-The Clerk said that before the Board met he would be able to remove the tradesmen's marks and substitute his own mark. A Boy's Start in Life. The Clerk stated that he wrote to Messrs Tyler and Company, Mae&llyn, 12andyssul, respecting the offer of E10 which they made to the Board at the last meeting for the services of a boy in the house who was ready bo go out to work, but the Company replied that the vacancy had been filled. The Clerk proceeded to state that there were two further applications, one from Mr. John Dayies, farmer, Frongoch, Idangoed- more, which was read at the last meeting, his offer being JE4 10 per annum besides keep- ing the boy; and the other from Mr. -John Morris, Veri-.ig.-Tho Guardians considered that as. at the last meeting, the L10 offered by the Llandyssul Firm was the only reason why they did not accept Mr. Davies' appli- cation, and as the larger offer had fallen through, they ought to accede to the appli- cation of Mr. Davies.—The Board accord- ingly passed a resolution to this effect. Doctors Dissatisfied. The Clerk reminded the Board that a few weeks ago they decided to reduce the fees payable to the public vaccinators in the Union in accordance with the Vaccination Order which would come into force on October 1st. He then read a joint letter from the public vaccinators from the Union, Dr. Chas. Griffith Jones, Dr. J. W. Step- hens, and Dr. Havard, for districts 1, 2, and 3 respectively, asking the Board to re-con- sider the reduced terms, taking into con- sideration the circumstances and the dis- tances to be travelled. The letter stated that they did not consider their present fees at all excessive. Enclosed were excerpts from newspaper reports of attitudes adopt- ed by two or three Unions in the country similar to that suggested by them.—Mr. Colbv said the Board had nothing to do with whether they (the public vaccinators) con- sidered they were well paid or not. Th: question was, did they accept the terms or not?—The Rev. J. Williams said that would come afterwards when the Board had re- plied whether or no they would reconsider the terms.—Asked what was the difference between the old and the new terms, the Clerk said thev were as follows-— Dist. Dist. Dis. No. 1. N. 2. No. 3. Old terms per case 8/6 6/6 9/4 Recommended terms 4/6 4/6 51- Recommended terms 4/6 4/6 5/- —The Rev. J. Williams asked what would be the difference on a year's working, and the Clerk replied that for the year ending i c 0 March 1907, the cost was R120, while under the reduced terms it would be. about RSO.- Mr. Colby said they could not rescind their resolution without notice of motion.—The Clerk said the question was, should thev re- consider the terms.—Mr. Oolby did not think they could rec:* sider them without notice of motion.—The Chairman asked if there was any member who wished the terms to be re-considered, and, no one signifying a de- sire to do so, it was unanimously decided that the new terms should remain as they were. Acknowledgment. A letter was read from Colonel Howell, Pantgwyn, thanking the members of the Board for their kindly and courteous vote of condolence passed with him in his grief and sorrow. A Member's Illness. The Rev. J. Williams proposed a vote of sympathy with Capt. T. H. Williams in his illness, mentioning that he attended very frequently and took an interest in the work of the Board.—Mr. Lewis Davies seconded, and also remarked on the regularity of his attendance.—The Chairman: Yes, it is only by him I am beaten.—The motion was unani- mously carried. The Assistant Matronship. The matron wrote asking that a servant might be appointed temporarily until the post of assistant matrcn had been 'filled, stating that the w< rk was too much for the present staff.—Th^ Chairman said that for a long time they did the work of the house without servants at all and when the in- mates were much more numerous.—The Clerk said he thought that at that time there were more able-bodied females, where- as now there were hardly any. The Clerk proceeded to read an application for the post of assistant matron from Miss F. Dav- ies, aged 19. of Glogtie.-On the proposition of Mr. T. Evans, seconded by the Rev. Job Evans, Miss Daviesi was appointed tempor- "rilv at the rate of £ 60 a year.
