dav "a young man named Charlie
Prother came TO town, bought a we'd
ding suit and, sitter advertising the
fact about lowh fairly well, invited
several of his acquaintance to the
wedding. Among the latter was Matt
Hart, to whom he conlided that the
expectant was Miss Viola Mitchell,
who was teaching a country school a
couple OF miles outside the village.
Half an hour later Matt secured a
horse aud buggy, drove to the school,
house, and brought Miss Mitchell to
town. where, BY the favor Of Elder
w. Q. Bouton, they were soon made
man and wife. II seemed that Hart
had been paying the lady some at~
tentions, but had notsuggested mar
riage, although ne mad intended to dc
so, until he learned that il would soon
be everlastingly too late. Then tax
ing advantage of the brief time that
remained to him. he made haste to
make up for lost time AS the lady
really preferred hum and had only ac-
cepted Prother because she supposed
the other man wasn't in earnest, he
found il easy to outwit his unsuspectN
ing rival and get away with the bride

Bogus Homestead Entries in Dakota.

Mr.. Sparks, commissioner of the
general land office, has recently re-
ceIved reports from special agents
which convince him that fve~sixths
of the homestead entries in Dakota
and throughout that region are fraud
ulent. He has received a number Of
advertisements Of land agents who Of
fer to obtain land for ex union soldiers
Or sailors, without the necessity of
residing upon the land, which tie law
requires, and Mr.. Sparks has been
provided with copies of railroad tick
cts to which certificates of homestead
entries, under the timber culture act,
are attached as gratuitous coupons to
the purchasers of the railroad tickets.
Mr.. Sparks says that while in indiv-
idual instances the result of his action
may cause hardship, he shall decline
to certify the vast mass of pending
Applications for patents to the presi-
dent for signature until he IS con-
WINGED that the entries are not of a
fraudulent characted, and that he will
ask congress for force enough to
make these investigations speedily.

CONCENTRATION OF TROOPS.

The action of Gen. Miles iu aban-
doning certain small aud remote posts
aad massing the military forces Of the de-
partment in few large garrisons is the
Of movement which must
extend over the whole country. The me-
cessiiy of small and widely separated mil
itary establishments has passed away.
There CAV never again be serious In.
dian war, for there are no strong Indian
tribes and no week settlements, besides
the means Of transportation are now so
general and extended that the whole mil
itary force OF the nation could be concen-
trated and fully equipped and supplied
in the renotest wilderness in the country
within ten days. An attempt like that
made by Joseph eight years ago, or that
Of Captain Jack twelyeyears ago, could
not be crushed into tl.e earth in one

Adrift on the ocean.

The steamer Likelike was anchored
out in the stream Monday TO allow
visitors to view the regatta. The
Chief Steward, 7. a. Brooks, was on
shore during the day, and about quar-
ter before 8 O'Clock Monday evening, he
took one OF the boats belonging TO the
steamer Mokolii for the purpose OF visit
ing the Likelike. He got half way there
when, owing to the heavy wind, he found
it impossible to reach the steamer. He
called out that he was unable to make it,
and the sailors on board the Likelike
heard him, but did not recognize his
voice. The consequence was that he
drifted out to sea. The next morning,
as he did not put in an appearance, the
steamer MokoGi was dispatched at 10
O'Clock in the morning in search of
him. At ten minutes before ii O'Clock
the steamer sighted him about six miles
wards picked him up. Mr.. Brooks was
very glad to get on board the steamer
He had hoped to signal the steamer
Planter, which would have passed near to
where he was last evening on its way to
Kauai, but he was found before The
Mokolii returned to port at O'Clock yes
terday afternoon. Mr. Brooks was
warmly welcomed and congratulated on
his safe return by his numerous friends.
He left with the Likelike at O'Clock
yesterday, none the worse for his all
night outing.

THE SUGAR OUTLOOK.

Last seasons sugar crop was con-
the yield of the present season promises
still better results. On several planta-
tons grinding Of the new crop has be-
gun, but the great majority OF planta-
tons viii not be engaged at this seasons
crop before the middle of December
From every district without excep-
ton We have favorable and encouraging
reports, and the Oceanic Steamship
Company, from the present date
forward, anticipates increased shipments
of the staple product. Up to date
little if any sugar from the new
crop has been received at Honolulu. In
q few days, however, we may expect a
beginning, after which the business
activity on the city front will steadily
increase.
During the past season. a large expen-
diture of capital has been gone to by
plantation owners to provide new and
improved machinery. Chief among the
improvements is the maceratiOn process,
and 80 pressing has been the demand for
this machinery that orders to very
heavy amount were sent to San Fran
cisco, the Honolulu Iron Works being
unable to execute them all in time. The
first portion of new and improved ma
chinery for the Makee Sugar Company
Kauai, manufactured at the Honolulu
Iron Works, will be shipped to-day;
while similarly the remaining parts O
a double-effect for the Star Mill, Kohala,
Hawaii, from the Risdon Iron Works
San Francisco, will be shipped to-day by
the Kilauea Hou; and by the Alameda
which is due on the 23d instant, a com
plete double-effect from the same works
is expected for the Paauhau Mill, Hama
kua, Hawaii.
We mention these simply as example
of what has been going on in the ISLANDS
for the past six or eight months. The
result will be greatly increased output
of sugar, and more prosperous times for
the country.
