The following days at the ranch
were very pleasant ones for Martha
and her visitor. In the morning after
the work was done-Martha always
did some of the light house duties
they would watch with never.fiagging
interest the great herds of cattle as
they were driven ON their way for ship
ment from Amarillo, and gossip as
girls do. Sometimes the cattle passed
quite near the house, but oftener they
were half II mile or more away on the
prairie sometimes 80 far that the
great herds seemed 10 be mere black

Of the men employed about the ranch.
John had fixed one of Martha's saddles
so that poor little Scylla could not fall,
and Texas seemed TO bear his tiny bur~
den with more than ordinary care. At
first they rode very slowly, and for
only few moments ut a time; but
Scylla gained strength daily, and by
the end OF the second week had improv-
sd 40 much that she could ride for an
hour without great fatigue, and Texas
was occasionally allowed 10 start his
gentle gallop.

TIE EVENING SESSION.
Il Change and Choice of Six
Re representatives.

The evening session of the conven-
ton opened shortly after . o'clock.
The room was well filled sometime
before this, however, and the nomin-
atoms of the afternoon were the only
topic spoken of. Just before the meet
ing was called to order, the ADvER-
User extra arrived, and the delegates
saw, in print, all that had been done
an hour before.
When Chairman Kennedy called
the meeting to order, everybody set
tied down at once to the business of
nominating representatives. Mr.. p.
G. Jones was introduced and said:
"After 1 returned home, / heard L
had received sufficient number of
votes to receive the nomination for
senator. But in looking over the list,
find there are no mechanics. This
was great disappointment to me, for
think the mechanics here are our
great stay. 1 was sorry to see that
my friend Mr.. McCandless was only
one vote short, and wish you would
allow me to resign in his favor"
J. s Martin moved that Mr.. Jones'
resignation be accepted.
Mr.. Emmeluth said he did not be-
lieve any man placed in nomination
who had pledged himself as Mr.. Jones
had, should be allowed to resign. The
ticket having been made up, it should
stand as ii is.
Mr.. TOwse said the work OF the
Convention was 10 elect six men.
This had been done; but if one of
those men wished 10 resign he should
be allowed to do 20.

A man strikes a red
pepper in his soup he receives an
impression. and impressions are
lasting. How can we impress it
upon you that it is really your duty
TO trade with us, that our prices and
service are better than elsewhere?
Perhaps we can impress you in this
way: Money talks, talks cents too.
1t perauades the stubborn and con-
vinces the skeptic. We know of no
such pleeder as a LOW PRICE
and we have tried 10 make its voice
heard in every nook and corner of
our store. It would only tire you if
we gave you list OF the many
different articles We bave just receiv-
ed per "Senta" from England, Amy
Turner" from New York, and the
"Rithet" and Australia" from San
Francisco, but we have the goods,
and if you call on Us you will get an
impression or two. First, they are
FIRST-CLASS and second, that our
prices are LOW.
For that tired feeling-not Hoods
Sarsaparilla, but more exercise-a
gun, rifle, or boat if you take it
out Ct doors, or dumbbells, chest
weights, etc, if indoors. Our shot
guns range from S12 to $65 in price,
but we find the $50 gun gives just
about the right amount of exercise
for this climste-that is we judge so
from the way they sell. After using
one Of our Winchester Military
Rifles till you can get inside an s.
inch bulls eye, out Of 10 shots, you
will find not only Is the tired feeling
gone, but you have learned to be
cool and careful-things that will
serve you we'll in other ways than
rifle shooting.
Have you heard of the story Of the
Irishman? He bought apples for one
cent and sold them for two and said
he made one per cent. profit. We do
not commit business suicide by try
ing to make the Irishman's one per
cent.
If you prefer boating and yachting
to shooting, you will find we have
most of the material needed to
either build q yacht or boat or keep
it in repair when built, and you do
not have to buy any more than you
neeu, as we nave everything nancy 10
retail as we'll as wholesale.
BETTER fence wire is now made
than ever before and as POOR fence
wire is now made as ever has been
before. The BEST can be had right
here in Honolulu, and -yes-the
WORST. We sell the GOOD KIND.
Wait for our remarks about barbed
wire. We have plenty now. but will
soon have lot of the best in the
world and it will pay you to wait
for it.

be heard from, w. G. Wilder and l.. G.

wished to adjourn until p. NJ. and

majority ruled. There was some mis-
understanding between the messen-
gers sent out for the candidate and it
was half hour before he appeared.
The applause was hearty though when
he did come, and Mr.. Wilder said:

All About Horse Trade.
Only one case was tried in No. court
room before Judge Sittser. 1t was that
in which George Southland was charged
with larceny by bailee by A. ]. Mitchell,
superintendent of the Singer Sewing
Machine company. Last June South
ard worked as an agent for the CON-
pany and he was fitted out with a horse
and buggy by the company. The agree-
ment between them was that Southard
should pay S. per month until he had
$40 paid, and at the end of eight months
he would own the horse.
Southard did not pay the monthly
instalments with promptness, and he
even neglected to pay some of them at
all. He also traded the horse for one
of lesser value and, it is alleged, that
he got boot in the trade, which he con-
verted to his own use. And the animal
he gave the company as the result Of
the trade died a few weeks later.
Southard was represented by Attorney
Joseph O'Brien, and the company by
Attorney John F. Scragg. The defend
ant claimed that he owned the horse
as soon as he made the first payment
and accoring to the agreement could
sell, trade or dispose of the animal
whatever way he wished. The case was
given to the jury at adjournment, and
no verdict had been arrived at 5 o'clock.
Other Court Matters.
Mrs. Margaret Barry, convicted of
keeping a tippling house at the October
term of quarter sessions court, was
sentenced by Judge Edwards to pay a
fine of $500, the costs Of prosecution,
and a term of three months in the coun-
ty Jail.
Theophilus Davis plead guilty to as
sault and battery and was sentenced tC
pay the costs. j. w. Clark was SEN
fenced to the costs in the case Of eXtor-
ton, of which he was acquitted, but
imposed with the costs. A capias was
issued for Michael Krotky.
The jury acquitted Wiegand Sterr
and Michael Stern of aggravated as
sault and battery and ordered them t
pay the costs. In the counter sui
brought by Mrs. Philomena SterI
