Portmadoc Brothers DIE ON LAND AND SEA. A telegram was received from the Commanding Officer last week stating that Private Owen Edward Hansen, aged twenty-four years, of the Scots Guards, eon of Capt. J. E. Hansen, Madoc-street, Portmadoc, died in France on September 16th from wound received in action. On the following day a postcard was received from the deceased saying that he was en- tering hospital on September 16th. The postcard was written for him by one of the nurses and apparently he passed away on the day of his admission. Deceased was a mariner and joined the colours in October, 1914, immediately on his return from a voyage to China. He had been home on leave three days only since he joined and had not been home at all since he left for France eleven months ago. He was an exceptionally fine character and had many friends who feel deeply for his bereaved father and sister. Capt. Hansen has now lost his two sons. His elder son (Mr John Hansen), aged twenty-five years, went down with the "Penrhyn Castle," which left Bahia Blanca, South America for Freemantle on April 20th, and h-as not been heard of since, and it can only be conjectured that she went down with all hands. Oapt. Hansen arrived from a voyage abroad in Liverpool on Saturday. Mr. Owen E. Hansen and his father nearly lost their lives by drowning a few years back. They were on board the Port- madoc schooner "James Bibby" when she went down off the coast of Norway and had just entered the boat when the schooner foundered. On another occasion Oapt. Hansen and his son, John Hansen, had a like expil- ence when the Portmadoc schooner "Har- vest Home" went down off Bards, jy. Portraits of the two deceased will arl,(ar next week. ANOTHER FORTMAOOC SOLDIER KILLED. A letter was rec" red o:i c'ipday fr-.m Sergt. Thomas H. Owen, Madoc-street, R.W.F., stating that Pte. Evan Richard Parry, son of Mrs Thomas Parry, 13. Bank- place. was killed in action in France on Monday, September 18th by shell splin- ters. Death was instantaneous. Pte. E. R Parry, who was twenty-four years of age, leaves a wife and one child for whom and for the deceased's mother deep sympathy is felt. Deceased, who was in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, was a clerk in the L.C. and M. Bank in London before he joined the colours. He had fought in the big push from the start.

I Lleyn Peninsula Tribunal. A COWKEEPER PROPHET. A meeting of Lleyn Peninsula Tribunal was held at Pwllheli on Friday, the Rev.. T. E. Owen, Aberdaron, presiding. A farm labourer, who was also an almanac compiler, was given conditional exemption. In answer to the Clerk (Mr. Hugh Pritchard) applicant stated that his principal occupation was that of a cow- man. The Clerk—Are you not a prophet ? Applicant—No. (Laughter). The Clerk—Don't you compose almanacs? (Laughter). Applicant—Yes; but I compose those in the evenings. j The Clerk—You are given conditional exemption; but you must prophecy a speedy end of the war in your next almanac. (Laughter). There were about sixty cases before the Tribunal and temporary exemption until November 1st. final, was given to twenty- six and of exemption until November 11th to most of the remainder, about six appli- cants being refused. Several of the claim forms were signed by farmers as well as by the men but the men were not present and the farmers failed to give evidence regarding the per- sonal claims of the men. The Clerk said that the least the farmers could do was to ascertain the facts regard- ing the personal claims and not con- fine themselves to facts regarding the farms, so as to secure fair play to the men. The Chairman expressed the hope that the farmers would supply the Tribunal with the personal circumstances of the men in future.

FAIRBOURNE. MUNICIPAL.—Alderman Peter Peacock was unanimously invited by a meeting of the General Purposes Committee to remain mayor of Warrington for the fourth year in succession, and has accepted the offer.

I Beddgelert Soldiers. I TERRIBLE | HARDSHIPS IN GERMANY. Two British solPiers-Bombardier G. Williams, R.F.A., Beddgelert, and Bombardier Folwell, R.F.A. were wounded in September, 1914, and taken prisoners by the Germans. Folwell, being too ill to do work allotted to him, was recently exchanged with other British pri- soners, and he is now in Switzerland. Writing to a friend of Bombardier Wil- liams, he says:—"I am very glad to be free from the Huns. We had an awful time in Germany. What with cruelty and starvation, I don't know how I have ex- isted so long in that God-forsaken country. Bombardier Williams is at present all right; but if you can do anything for him in the way of food send it to him. Without the parcels from England we would have been buried long ago. If you ever read in the papers that the prisoners are being treated all right, don't believe it. I have been in Germany two years, and I can say that the barracks were absolutely rotten. A pig would not live very long there and I don't know how a white man can. The bedding was terrible. We had an old sacking stuffed with straw on lumps of wood to lie on. It was something awful. I shall be very glad when all our boys are away from that dirty, uncivilised country. They are a thousand times worse than cannibals."

PORTMADOC. ECCLESIASTICAL.—The Rev. R. D. Hughes, B.A., son-in-law of Mr. F. Vaughan, Garth, has been appointed rector of Derwen, Denbighshire. APPOINTMENT. Miss Margaret Jones, Liverpool, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. Jones, formerly of 54, East Avenue, Portmadoc, has been appointed a clerk at the L. U. and M. Bank, Liverpool. PROMOTION.

Breese, Jones and Casson, who volun- teered early in the war, has been pro- moted to the rank of corporal in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers in France. ON LEAVE.—Lieut. K. Elias Owen, Pwllheli, who is in the Royal Engineers, is home on short leave from France. Lieut. Owen, who came over from Canada to enlist, is a nephew of Mr. Lloyd, cabinet maker, Portmadoc, and was given a warm welcome on his arrival home by his numerous friends at Portmadoc and Pwllheli. His brother, Lieut Ernest Lloyd Owen, is a prisoner of war in Germany. AN ANXIOUS TIME.—There is still no definite news with regard to Lance-Corpl. W. Jones Owen, Bast Avenue, Lance- Corpl. Llewelyn Pritchard, Park Square, ad Pte. Richard Evans, Chapel-street. The last letters received by their relatives wete dated early in July. Subsequently official news came that they were wounded but not a word has been received since either from the men or from official sources. MISSIONARY MEETING. At the annual meeting held at Garth Chapel the chair was taken by Principal Prys, M.A Aberystwyth, and the chief speaker was the Rev A. Wynne Thomas, Swansea, formerly of Aberystwyth, son of the late Rev. Josiah Thomas of Liverpool, the former secretary for many years of the Foreign Missionary Society. Lately Mr and Mrs Wynne Thomas, whilst on a world tour, visited the mission field in India. ACCIDENT.—Mr. Wm. David Evans, son of Mr. E. R. Evans, marine engineer, Britannia-place, had a narrow escape from serious injury at Borthygest on Satu.l'day morning. He was .with a horse and car when the horse bolted, throwing young Evans out of the car. He was picked L.p unconscious and conveyed home by motor. Dr. Pierce Jones attended and found that he was suffering from slight concussion of the brain, but with no bones broken. He is making satisfactory progress to re- covery. ROUND-UP.—There was a round-up at Beddgelert fair on Thursday for shirkers from military service. The round-up was conducted by the police and special con- stables under the direction of Supt. Owen, assisted by Capt. Stanley Davies, the county recruiting officer, and his assistant (Lieut. Chapman). The certificates and documents held by 150 men in the fair were examined and particulars w ere taken of certain cases for investigation. One man had a certificate of exemption which. expired in May, but it appeared that he had afterwards been exempted till Nov- ember and had left the second certificate at home. FROM FRANCE.—A Portmadoc subal- tern in France in a letter home writes:- I am afraid I do not write so frequently these days. We hardly get a minute to spare. It is work, work, work. When shall we finish with it all ? It is an uncertain life and very monotonous at the best of ■ rimes. One good thing, we get plenty to eat and plenty of exercise. It seems to be a habit out here to growl but despite all the growling we are merry and bright. Don't you think that the reports coming through lately are promising? To-day (September 13th) we hear that the French have gone forward another 3,000 yards. It is predicted that when we have crushed the Hun, as we most assuredly shall do, everything and everybody will be doing well within the British zone. I share that opinion, and for that reason am longing to see the end, but there can be no end until we have brought the Hun right to his knees. WAR PENSJOS.-The Naval and I Militarv War Pensions Committee for 1 Portmadoc, Criccieth, and Glaslyn divi- sion held the first sitting on Friday when Alderman J.

Carnarvonshire Appeals. RABBIT CATCHING A CRAFT. Carnarvonshire Appeal Tribunal held a sitting at Pwliheli on Monday, present Messrs. J. E. Greaves, chairman; Richard Davies G. Hughes Roberts, R. T. Jones, Dr. Wynne Griffith, John Owen, Thomas Griffith, Llew Davies, clerk; Lieut. Cradoc Davies, assistant clerk; and W. E. Williams, agricultural representative. An application by Mr. Hugh Pritchard for the re-hearing of a case of a corn merchant's manager from Pwllheli, who had been given until October 31st, final, was granted, the re-hearing being fixed for next week. Five other applications for leave to make a fresh application or for a re-hear- ing were refused. A Beddgelert timber haulier, married, aged thirty-six, who had met with an accident resulting in the loss of the small finger and the next finger of his left hand, failed to appear at the Portmadoc sitting last week and was summoned to Pwllheli. Asked why he had not appeared at Portmadoc, he said he could not cycle owing to the accident; but it was pointed out that a motor coach was available. The Chairman—The result of it is you have now been compelled to come to P'wll- heli. The man's appeal against the refusal of exemption by Glaslyn Tribunal was dis- missed. Exemption was refused in the following cases :—A Llanbedrog painter, aged 38 (for whom Mr Nanney Jones appeared): a Rhiw farmer, aged 21; seven farm hands, each aged 18; a Bryncroes slat-erer, aged ,38; a Bodfean gamekeeper, aged 38; and a Rhiw postman, aged 38 (for whom Mr. Robyns Otwen appeared). A Morfa Nevin farmer, aged 26. appealed against the exemption until November 1st granted him by Lleyn Tribunal being made final. Mr. Robyns Owen appeared for the man. The Military Representative said the man had taken the tenancy of a small holding in the middle of a great war. With very few exceptions small holdings could only be said to help those residing on them. It could not be said that they helped the country. I The Tribunal confirmed the local decision, but varied it by a day, so that any further application in the matter must be made to the Appeal Tribunal. The case of a Llannor horseman, aged thirty-six, stood adjourned so that the Mili- tary Representative might apply for the review of the case of a servant, aged 23, on the same farm, and have the two cases considered together. The Military Representative said his view was that, notwithstanding that the youth of 23 was single and that the other man was married and aged 36, the farmer was the genuine farm hand, for the latter, who was a relative of the farmer, had been for a time keeping a cycle shop in Four- crosses and had been to America for a time, and had also been a sailor. The man of thirty-six said he left America for reasons of health. The Rev. H. Williams, rector of Pistyll, who appeared for him. said the youth of twenty-three would probably go to his father in November to replace a youth of eighteen who would be joining up soon. One brother had already joined. The Agricultural Representative said that would make the farmer's position the reverse of enviable if the Military Repre- sentative persisted in trying to get the elder man into the army. It was stated that two servants were essential to the proper working of the farm, and in the result exemption to November 11th, open, was given in each I case. I A Rhoshirwaen farmer, in applying for exemption for his son, aged eighteen, said he had seven sons One had had condi- tional exemption; one was a soldier in Egypt, and four were on transports at sea. Altogether he had eleven children. Probably he was the youngest in Wales to get married, for he entered matrimony at the age of sixteen. (Laughter). The Military Representative said the man had a good record: but he thought it wag more reasonable to get the boy of six- teen, who had gone to sea, back to the farm, so that the boy of eighteen might join up. The Tribunal refused exemption to the boy of eighteen, but recommended that he should not be called up until October 16th. Dr. Gwenogfryn J?vans acted as spokes- man for a large number of farmers who attended in support of the appeal for ex- emption made by a rabbit catcher. The farmers would suffer greatly from the depredations of rabbits and moles if the man had to go. There were appeals for hearing by two other rabbit catchers; and the Military Representative saia, having regard to the statements made, that the district was being depleted of rabbit catchers, to the injury of the farming community, it might be well: to adjourn the cases for a week in order that a conference might be held with a view to deciding as to the number of rabbit catchers necessary to work the dis- trict as a whole on co-oner a tive lines. The Agtrindtural Representative might take the matter ul). The Agricultural Representative agreed that a conference was most desirable. The Chairman asked why could not farmers do rabbit-catching themselves? A farmer who was supporting an appel- lant said rabbit catching was a craft. The Chairman—A craft indeed. CLaugh- ter). The appellants declared that they had now more work than they could do, owing to rabbit catchers having joined the colours in large numbers. The Tribunal adjourned all the cases for a week, in the hope that a feasible scheme for dealing with the matter would be formulated in the meantime. The Chair- man said if no such scheme was produced at next Tuesday's sitting at Pwllheli the Tribunal would proceed to deal with each case on its merits. Conditional exemption was granted a roadman and farm hand from Rhoslan, aged thirty-eight, married, with six (children, subject to his devoting himself I exclusively to farm work. A carrier and butter merchant from Pen- liech, aged thirty-eight, was given condi- tional exemption with a like condition; and a joiner and wheelwright from Edevrn, aged thirty-three, was granted conditional exemption on the ground of the precarious j state of his wife's health His brother, aged thirty-eight, in a like occupation, was exempted until October j 31st, final. The latter had been given con- ditional exemption by the LIeyn Tribunal, and the brother of thirty-three exemption till September 30th final. The Military Representative said condi- tional exemption had been granted by Llerr Tribunal, in view of the man's work as joiner and wheelwright at home. but in thp meantime he and his brother had entered into a contract to supply timber for the army in woods many miles from home; and badges had been applied for both men by the Home-Grown Timber Committee. A tenant farmer, aged thirty-seven, was granted conditional exemption as being in a certified occupation. I

Criccieth Council. THE NEW COUNTY RATE BASIS. Criccieth Urban Council was held on Monday night, present, Messrs. O. T. Williams (chairman), J. T. Jones, Huw R. Grufydd, P. J. Bowen, G. Richards, J. Harlech Jones, E. C. Ellis, Robert Davies, D. M. Williams, W. Henry Williams, John E. Williams, T. Burnell, Dr. Gladstone Jones, Isaac Davies, assistant clerk; Gwilym H. Williams, surveyor; and Morris Williams, collector. The Chairman stated that Mr. J. Hum- phreys, deputy clerk, was unable to at- tend, having gone to Liverpool to f undca-go a. slight knperation to the hand which all hoped would be successful. On the motion of the Chairman, a vote of sympathy (with Mr. and Mrs. Bowley in the loss of their sot in action in France on September 5th was passed. The Chairman explained that under the new Act all war colfections in future must he sanctioned and registered by the Council. Replying to Mr. Grufydd, the Chair- man said the Act included concerts and competitive meetings if the proceeds were applied to war charities. On the proposition of Mr. J. Harlech Jones, the work incidental to the Act was entrusted to a committee consisting of the Chairman and Messrs. D M. Williams, G. Richards, Dr. Gladstone Jones, and Huw R. Grufydd, the latter to act as con- vener. The Finance Committee reported that tl92 had been received in district rate during the month, and C9 for sand, etc., and B212 water rentals. The Council had a balance in hand on the general account of £ 520 and on the water supply aocount of 295. 1 Sums totalling JB479 were passed for pay- ment of which 24M represented instal- ments in repayment of waterworks loans. The salary of the Assistant Overseer (Mr Morris Williams) was increased by t2 10s. per annum to cover travelling expenses -and use of Town Hall which the Auditor de- clared the overseers could not legally dis- burse. A letter was read from Sir John Roberts, clerk to the County Rate Committee, en- closing a statement showing the proposed new county rate basis and stating that 'any objections thereto should be sent to him on or before October 5th. The Finance Committee recommended the Council to appeal against the new assessment. Mr. Burnell moved the adoption of the recommendation which was seconded by Mr. H. R. Grufydd and agreed to. Mr. J. T. Jones gave an explanation of the new basis; and in the course of his remarks referred to the "Cambrian News," and when the memoors-asked in which way was the "Cambrian News" concerned with the new assessment, Mr. Jones laughingly observed that he meant the Cambrian Railway. The Chairman and Mr Richards reported on the recent conference at Pwllheli con- vened with the intention of improving the winter train service. Mr. Richards said the only promise of better facilities this winter was that the train which arrived in Criccieth at 8.12 p.m. on Saturday nights wculd be run nightly on week-days in future. The Chairman said he had been since told that the L. and N.W.R. (lompanv could not agree to that train being. run nightly. In his opinion it was pure waste of time for local authorities to try to get improvements in the train service. Pressure must be applied by a higher source. On the recommendation of the Roads Committee it was decided to call on Mr. E. Davies Hughes to remove all obstruc- tions from Maes-road, leading to the SirifEhv, and to keep it absolutely clear in future. The Inspector reported having seen a servant of Mr. Davies Hughes burning waste papers and rubbish on the Maes and cautioned him not to repeat the offence. It was agreed to serve notice on Mr. Davies Hughes to desist from burning papers, etc., on the Maes and to take 'I legal proceedings if the notice was dis- regarded. It was also decided to caution Mr. Hughes against throwing broken bottles, etc.. on to the shrub beds. The Surveyor reported that the Dinas had been on fire twice during the past few weeks, 'and the aid of the Fire Brigade was secured to put the fire out The Surveyor reported that the licensees on Criccieth foreshore had lived quite peacefully this season with the exception of one dispute between two licensees. It was agreed to give ten days' holiday to the Surveyor.

< RHfUM'sTiSM—KlDHfV TROUBLE Rheumatism is due to uric acid crystals in the joints -and muscles, the result of excessive uric acid in the system that the kidneys failed to remove as nature in- tended, to which every qualified physician I agrees, and this acid is also the cause of backache, lumbago, sciatica, gout, urinary trouble, stone, gravel, dropsy. The success of Estora Tablets for the treatment of rheumatism and other forms of kidney trouble is due to the fact that they restore the kidneys to healthy action and thereby remove the cause of the trouble, 'and have cured numberless cases I after the failure of other remedies, which accounts for their superseding out-of-date 7i:»edicines that are sold at a price beyond all but the wealthy.
