MAUI NOTES.

The residence of Hon. II. p.
Baldwin at Haiku presented lively
and enchanting appearance on FRI
day night last, the occasion being
the monthly social given by the
ladies of Makawao church. The
spacious grounds with their tropical
and semi-tropical vegetation illumin-
ed by the soft light of an almost full
mo)n, the front and sides of the
house hung with parti-colored Ian
terms, the large and spacious rooms
filed with ladies and gentlemen bent
on making the most of the occasion,
were like scene in fairy land.
The programme announced that
the evening would be devoted to
Shakespeare. The first number was
a piano dnet by Mrs. Morrison and
Mrs. Crane, which was very beauti-
fully rendered and elected rounds
of applause.
The second was an essay on
Shakespeare by the Rev. 4. p. Gu
lick, in which he gave brief his
tory of this illustrious poet and
dramatist.
The next was a dialogue-Quar-
rel scene from Julius Cesar-by
Herbert Dickey and Arthur Baldwin.

Both these young gentlemen acquit.

to hear from them again in the near
future.
The fourth number was, "Pic-
lures from Shakespeare" They
were niue in number, and were all
artistically rendered.
The next was Shaketpearian bur.
lesque, in which Mrs. DIR. Crane,
Misses Simpson (2) and Miss Beck.
with took part, This was we'll rem
dered and caused continual bursts
of laughter TO the very end.
The last number was a solo, "Ive
been roaming" by Mrs. Gulick,
which was rendered in this lady's
best style.
In connection with the social the
Ladies' Aid Society held sale of
fancy articles and all goods not sold
at private sale were auctioned off
after the exercises we're over. Good
prices were realized and every arti-
Gle was sold. The proceeds from
this sale go into the organ fund.
The evenings entertainment was q
brilliant success.
There has been an abundance OF
rain, and everything looks green
where few weeks ago it was
parched.
The Hamakuapoko Mill will start
up in two or three weeks, or as soon
as the diffusion machinery is ready
for working. This is an American
plant, the only one on the islands
(the one at Kealia being of German
make), and the agents for the ma
chinery on these islands, as well as
the owners of the plant, are expect.

The political horizon is as cleal

The BAND On KAUAI.

Lihue has been the scene of much
gayety in the past week. Energetic
labor in behalf of the Fair stirred
up the souls of many people and
sounds of music thawed out the re-
mainder. Owing to the kind fore
thought of His Majesty the King,
the Hawaiian band was sent TO
Lihue to be one Of the attractions
at the Fair, and for long time to
come all events in Lihue will be
dated from "thG time the band was
down." or ''just before the band
came," or 'just after Berger and
his boys were here" 1t is needless
to say how thankful every one is,
for the privilege of hearing the
famous band play. A concert was
given in the park surrounding Hon.
w. II. Rice's residence, on We'd
nesday evening, and there was
large concourse of Americans, Ger
mans, Hawaiians and S. S. Island
ers. The pleasure they all exper-
fenced was expressed by hearty
cheers at the close of the pro-
gramme. On Thursday the boys
went to Kealia, ten miles away, and
visited the mill and the store, where
they were we'll treated by Mr.. Fair
child. Mr.. Rice kindly supplied
the musicians with horses and car
riages.
On Thursday evening, at the sug-
gestion of Reverend II. Isenberg, a
concert was given at the German
church, for the entertainment of the
German inhabitants of the place.
Here the large audience appreciated
the music 10 the utmost.
On Friday evening Mr.. Berger
and his boys made the air resound
with beautiful selections, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. S. w. Wilcox. Besides
the foreigners, lIawaiians, Chinese
and japanese showed their love of
music by turning out in large num-
bers.
Saturday, Fair day, there was
continuous music from two O'Clock
until ten p. m, the boys playing
cheerfully every selection that was
called for. Mr.. Berger was untiring
in his efforts to accommodate every
ones II usical taste, and he inspired
his boys with his unnagging energy
through the long hours. Mr. Ber-
gers friends are legion, and he
added TO their number while here.
The band boys have enjoyed their
visit TO Kanai immensely. They say
thcy have never been treated so well,
and are unanimous in their praise
of the boundless hospitality shown
them by the Hon. w. Ii. Rice. This
gentleman fitted up the loft above
his large stables, as dormitOry.
The floor was thickly strcwn with rice
straw, and covered with tarpauliu
making very good bed. A tierce
of poi, bags of salt fish, and large
fupply of fresh beef satisfied the

A north side scheme, south side
scheme, has been the cry in Colby,
which for the past year has downed
almost every public enterprise which
has been started in our little city.
Colby will never thrive so long as our
citizens in any part of the town allow
such cry, such feeling, to domi-
nate their actions. What fOelishness
in such small town to talk of one
part of town building up at the ex-
pense of the other. A building erect
ed In any part of the city, business
established or enlarged, in any local.
ty of the city, while it may be of par
ticular benefit to the location, is of
general benefit to the whole; when
built or established it increases values
in all parts, and wherever situated
shares its portion of taxation ana
public burden. During the past week
while the mill project was under dis
cussion, this cry of north and south
side was raised Ly certain individuals
who seem to have desired no mill,
and aided to some extent at least, to
threatening the defeat of the construc-
ton of the mill. What foolishness!
Citizens of Colby, let US shake off the
stupor which seems to be pervading
us all: let us work together for the
common good; let US unitedly, as q
city, not rs clique or faction, or as
north or south, put our shoulders to
the wheel and bravely hoist our city
to the position which properly belongs
to ii, that of being in the van of the
car of progress over all our other sis
ter cities. Colby, in times past. has
been the admiration, the incentive
model to all neighboring towns. When
internal discussions were absent, ad-
vancement, plenty and progress
abounded. Relieved from petty strife
her citizens united IN effort, Colby
would bound forth acknowledged
Queen City of Northwestern Kansas.
Bury the hateful words north and
south sides forever out of sight In
union is strength. United we stand,
divided We fall. Yield up each one
his personal prejudices for the good
of the whole. All take part and share
in that which will be for the general
good, and our city will years sooner
accomplish the grand destiny We al
believe is in store for her in the fu-
ture.

Facto About Farm MORTGAGES.

KANSAS.
The fact is that no State in the Union
can equal Kansas in its agricultural re-
sources. To-day we haye farms in Har-
per county covered by mortgage of SIC
per acre. that will be paid of out of this
years wheat crop. and leave handsome
surplus. But there is another point in
this farm mortgage business that seems
to have been entirely overlooked. Loan
companies have permitted agents wheth
er knowingly or not we are not aware, to
tax the honest farmer with large bond
thus secured by a second mortgage. For
instance, 5-year loan of 81. 900 IS made.
drawing per cent, the agent takes a
second mortgage for three per cent year
for five years, amounting to $50. II at
the end of one year the interest is not
paid, a foreclosure snit is commenced on
the second mortgage. demanding Of the
farmer $l50. Is this law! Is this equity
The law of the land says that they who
seek equity must do equity. Therefore,
If they take q second mortgage as bonus
for a loan of 81 900 for five years, and
fOrecl0se it at the end Of one year, they
are entitled only to the equitable proper
ton earned; in other words. they cannot
recover at tho end of one year or two
years the bonus they charged for . five
years loan, unless they allow It to run
that time. Nearly every second mort
gage foreclosure can be defeated or par
TALLY defeated ON this ground, for equity
IL greater than law, and equity il the

ple. We have been informed that mort
