Two WEEKS more, and the genial
sun will have warmed the BOSOM of
old mother earth into giving forth
nourishment for hungry brutes. An
other month, and the gentle April
showers will have sprinkled the face of
nature awake ned thereon smiles of
sweet scented and bright hued flowers;
and when two days more have come and
gone all persons who have not register
ed at the city clerks Office Tin this office
will have lost all chance to assist in
electing four members of that august
assembly, the Right Honorable Coun-
Gil of the City of Great Bend. Do you
precipitate to our commotion?

An IMMENSE CLAIM.

- Suit for the Recovery OF Forty Million
Dollars Worth of Property.
Some ST. Louis attorneys are now
preparing documents for forty claim
ants who are to bring suit for the re-
covery of $40. 900 of property 10
Gated in the heart of that city, and COM
prising twenty blocks lying chiefly be-
tween Third street on the east, Jeffer-
son avenue on the west, Olive street on
the north, and Pine street on the south.
The claimants are some of the heirs of
Jean B. Becquette. The property is
known as survey 901, and was con-
frmed to the legal representatives of
Becquette by an act of Congress passed
April %, 1916. The land was surveyed
in 1926, and the survey returned to the
recorder of land titles for the United
States in July, 1928. According to the
record IN the case, Marguerite Hortiz
(born Becquette). in August, 1885, con-
veyed all her interest in said land to John
B. Lucas. Lucas interest. it is assert
ed, was only an undivided half there
in. Marie Barada (born BecqUette)
and her children, it seems, were heirs
also to Que undivided half of the prop
erty, and it is her descendants who are
now about to take measures to enforce
their rights and claim to this undivided
half This means that the title to more
than $40, 900, 900 worth of property will
be tested. One of the attorneys who
has the matter in charge. n. o. Gray,
was at one time one OF Mrs. Myra Clark
Gaines lawyers, and has for number
ofyears been connected with important
land litigations in Missouri. Some of the
finest and costliest private residences,
banks and business Houses of st.
Louis are situated on the disputed terri
tory. The ground is valued at S30,O00,-
/ 600, and the buildings at $4,000, 900.
Some very nice and intricate questions
will come up in the course of the litiga-
ton; but, it is a well-known fact of
law that the statute of limitations
never runs against a tenant in common,
and if it can be proven that the heirs
and descendants are and have been ten
ants in common, then their claim can
not be barred; but The question will
hinge upon whethec the grantees of
Mrs. Marguerite Hortiz have by their
acts invoked the aid of the statute Of
limitations by holding. as against the
heirs of her sister. open and notorious
exclusive possession of the property in
question.-E- Louis Republicans.

SOME people think this world could
be managed a good deal better if they
could do the twisting of the crank;
and they think they have crank that
will just fit it, and want to try that
crank on every public enterprise, every
private business. They tell you that
their crank will fit the newspaper bust
ness, and if they were permitted to try
it on they would just m axe things hum.
They have crank that will fit the
municipal affairs Of city and turn
them out to a nicely. In fact, they
are so filed with the Importance Of
their crank business that they are no
good for any other, and their lives will
be spent in fruitlessly trying to fit their
cranks to some other mems business.
But the world moves right along, and
never jumps cog.

No paper can be published without
home patronage and every man in the
country is interested in keeping up a
paper. If a railroad or factory is
wanted the newspapers are expected to
work for it. If public meeting is
wanted for any purpose the newspapers
are called on for free notice. If the
churches or charitable societies have a
supper or entertainment of any kind,
the newspaper is expected to give all
the necessary notices and then puff
after it is over. The newspapers must
puff after the schools and do every
thing else to advance the interests of
the business men of the place and then
give them handsome send off when
they go to heaven, and yet some Of
them do nothing toward supporting
their home paper.-Er-

Wise Men Say.

He says it best who says it first.
The greatest friend of truth is time;
and her greatest enemy is prejudice;
and her constant companion is humility.
A loveing act docs more good than
fiery exhortation. What mankind
needs is not more good takers, but more
good Smaritans.
One of life's hardest lessons from
the cradle to the grave is waiting. We
send out our ships, but cannot patient
ly await their return.
There are great many duties that
cannot wait. Unless they are done
the moment they present themselves,
it is not worth while to do them at all.
The best of us are hampered in every
effort of improvement, net alone . by
our own faults, but those of our neigh
bors.
How abundant are the men and wo-
men who crave martyrdom in leader
shipl How few are willing to honor
themselves in the loyalty of service!
A mans character is an element of
his wealth, and you cannot make him
rich in what he has except as you teach
him to be rich in what he is.
It does not follow that you must do
a mean thing to a man who has done
a mean thing to you. The old proverb
runs Because the eur has bitten me,
shall bite the cur?''

Arbor day will be observed by ap-
propriate exercises in all the rooms
and also by setting out trees on the
school grounds. The exercises will be
arranged SO as to give the pupils valu-
able information in reference to the
proper planting and care of trees, as
well as to awaken enthusiasm on the
subject. Tree culture in Kansas should.
we think. receive special attention and
our pupils education and general en-
terprise, should go far beyond the nat
row limits of text books.
We as a school, desire to join the
citizens of Great Bend in an enthusi-
astic observance of ArbOr day, Wednes-
day, p. NJ, April 4th.
Respectfully submitted,

Hilo News.


The Court commenced business on
the 4th instant. The sessions will con-
tinue longer than have been done in
many years. The liquor cases have
not been tried yet. One murder case
will continue several days. Planta-
ton managers have been called on to
act as jurors, they having usually been
exempt. Good, serviceable men have
been selected, including an unusually
large number of lunas. Extra pains
have been taken by the Judges to have
men who can be relied on. Cases are
subdivided as follows: Criminal cases
Hawaiian 6, foreign 10; civil cases.
foreign 5, Hawaiian 2, divorce cases
IS, of which six have been granted to
date, two continued to November term
and three not served in time. The
balance is not heard from.
The following convictions and ac-
quittal have been made Jack
Koleke, house breaking, pleaded
guilty; Kake Kill, distilling liquor,
fined 500 and costs; Maria de Amora,
house breaking, one month hard labor;
Lanahila Ok, manslaughter, verdict
not guilty; All Chin, gross cheat, two
years hard labor. The foreign jury
has been sitting two days, hearing
Chinese gambling cases from Laupa-
hoehoe, and there are prospects of
them sitting another day.
An earthquake was felt by all on the
18th instant at 1915 a. M, the first one
in many months. Some of the people
who are to be tried feel quite shaky
just now, and an earthquake just at
this time must have affected their sem
sitive natures considerably, particu-
larly those who have sold such vile
cut-throat stuff to the poor inebriate,
and then also their thoughts by day
and night must be occupied in think
ing what an immense hole would be
made in their money bags when they
came to pay their lawyer to get them
out of their dilemma. J. A. NJ.
