Another Letter From Jackey Layburn From Africa
The writer describes a grueling train journey from Biera toward Salabury with stops at Bombo Crack and Bumbo Creek. He details crowded open carriages, a water-short engine, an on-train injury to a trooper, clashes with heat and dust, and a rough march through Maranda dell with sweltering days, cold nights, and scarce meals. He notes camp near Matabele war sites, graves, and a harsh environment, mentioning Major Carrington as leader and the Lat regiment of Australian Bushmen.

Baden-Powell and Mafeking Relief War Tribute
A fragmentary tribute recalls Baden-Powell and the relief of Mafeking. It honors the garrison's seven weary months, scarce rations, and the steadfast defense while detailing losses from Boer shelling and the brave responses of soldiers and civilians alike. The piece closes with praise for Powell and the troops, and a cheering salute as relief arrives.
Wheat market in New Zealand steady with mixed forecasts
New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency reports no alteration in grain. Week sees fair turnover with values quoted for different wheat types. Opinions differ on near term trend as traders expect possible buyer advantage if stock unloadings rise. Farmers focus on new crop rather than selling last year’s, with prime milling at 2.744 to 2s 4d and other varieties priced per quality. Late June 27 notes a strong advance with quotations up to 34Ld.
