While Inn on the object of Army shooting at Bieley, roference may be made to a somewhat thorny question which has cropped up. The rifle with which, practically, the whole Army is now semed is the short Le, and it isnot annatul that in competitions in which the service rifle is used the authorities should consider that this particular rifle should be smploy-d. The marksman, however, conteule, and with perfect freth, that if he does so be starts with an initial handicap that be bis done nothing to deserve, for it is a well known fact that the short ribs, though in many respects a better all-round military weapon then the long oo, is nevertheless inferior to the latter in securacy of shooting. It is stated that the new Mark 3a certain number of which, it is understood, have been issued to the School of Musksty at Hythe, is in every respect the equal of the old rifto, but then it often happens that first issues are superior to their successore, whick are turned out in large quantities. One way or another, the question will has to be decided before xt year. Meanwhile, appears likely

MOTHER

SEIGEL'S

SYRUP

The only way to really cure Indigestion is to strengthen the stomach and other organs of digestion, and so restore them to natural activity. That is what MOTHER SEIGEL'S SYRUP does, and that is why it always cures. Mrs. J. W. Pretorius, Molter, says: "Three years ago I began to suff from Indigestion, which became so bad that I dared not cat meat, and even light foods I could hardly retain. I was a martyr to severe lieadaches, pains in the sides, back and chest and for days together I could do nothing. Finally I tried Mother Seigel's Syrup, and it completely aired me."

JAPAN'S NEW LOAN.

INPORTANT STATEMENT. Reuter's Agency bas received the following statement from iba Imperial Japanese Financial Commissioner with regard to the new Southern Manchurian Railway loan:."

"It is erroneous to suppose that the Govern- mont

Sasrantee of this ban will add to the financial burden of the Japanese Government. The latter attaches such great importance to the management and immediate development of Manchurian railways, that it has guaranteed absoletely the repayment with principal and interest of the present bonds, but the prospeci of the railway systems concerned areach that it is improbable that the Government will be called upon to add in any way to its financial burden. It should be remembered that the Manoburian railwaya late received no subsidy from the Imperial Government.

I have just received telegrams slowing that the. South Manchuriau Railway Company's receipts for the first nancial year ending last month has been so satisfactory that there is no need for the company to fall back upon tha Imperial subsidy to which it is entitled in cass: the profits do not reach a certain sam.
