THE RISE IN BEEF.

We regret to hear that our farm
crs are not caught full handed with
prime beef cattle since the sudden
advance in price. On the boot 5
and 6 cents are paid, according to
quality. One of our home dealers
informed us that, not being able to
find supply in Berkeley, he on
Wednesday last rode for fifty miles
in Jefferson county among the farm
ers, and could net fud prime cattle
for ready use. We note the city
papers are advising the use of fish,
which are now very cheap.

with the greatest care and from Sc
lected materials. 1t is voiced with
special reference to the place it oc.
cupies, and special attention is called
to the distinctive characteristics of
each individual register. The tone
of the full organ is round and well
balanced. Its builders invite the
severest criticism on any points.

An Ex-Maniac's Big Claim.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL Ap-ll l4.-A
romance of a lost me mory comes TO
light By the sudden appearance Of
William II. Allen, Who was supposed
TO lave been dead twenty years.
He once Owned land, now valued at
Sl4,000,0C0, and be will bring suit
to recover his property.
The records do not show that the
property ever passed out of his
hands, and The present owners hold
under the statute of limitations,
having had adverse possession nearly
a generation. His appearance was
simultaneous with the filing of a
quit-claim deed to half his interestin
the lands, the grantee being John C..
Watson, lawyer.
"In 1918 Calendar received deeds
to the land in question from I. Nj.
Leavtnworth, Calendar was Aliens
brother-in-law, and the lands were
of little value. Calendar decided
the lands to Allen.
hifCA hCuU DdCh ~ Ills home IN
New York, and nothing more being
heard of him he was supposed to have
died without deciding his property to
anyone else. But there were reasons
for his disappearance.
CATER reaching New York he was
hurt in an accident, and lost his
mind. For twenty years-that have
been TO him as q dream-he has
been harmlessly insane. Then i'm
pairment passed away, aud he came
to realization of the fact that he
was old and gray, and one third OF
his life was blank. With sanity
came memory, and he thought OF
his property here, which had increas-
ed to millions while he was wander
ing a day-dreamer in the realms of
the insane. Against such man the
statute of limitations cannot be
pleaded"

TROUBLE IN HAMPSHIRE.

The case OF Daniel Shaver, who
killed his brother-in-laW in Hamp-
shire county, has been attracting
considerable attention. Judge Faux
ner, Of this circuit, tried the case,
Shawen was convicted of murder in
the first degree and was sentenced
to be hanged. His counsel, Col.
Monroe and Mr. Mitchell Woods, the
latter formerly of this town, worked
diligently in behalf of their client,
and got the case into the Court of
Appeals, but when acted upon by
that body, Judge Faulkners opinions
were affirmed, and Judge Faulkner
again sentenced HIM to be hanged.
Since then, upon an er parte petition
Gov. MacCorkle has committed the
death penalty to Imprisonment for
life. Indignation meetings have
been held and strong resolutions de-
mandatory of the Governors action,
and the popular feeling ran so high
as to make it necessary to remove
the prisoner to Keyser, and it is said
that at one time they had to take
him into Maryland for safety. The
people claimed that the Court and
the jurors had rendered exact jus
tice and the Judge was sustained by
the Supreme Court, which left no
reason for the Governors action. 1t
is to be regretted that there
should be such a clash
among the authorities and the more
so, from the fact that there have been
several homicides in that county in
recent years.

WHARF AND WAVE.

DIAMOND HEAD-July s, 10 P. NJ.
Weather, clear; wind, light e.
The Irmgard is sixteen days out
from San Francisco.
The schooner Olga will leave for
Mahukona today to load sugar.
The bark Matilda has commenced
to discharge her cargo of lumber.
The barks Albert, r. p. Rithet and
several other vessels are awaiting
cargoes.
The steam yacht Eleanor left for
Hilo yesterday to allow her owner to
visit the volcano.
The steamer KiIauea Hou dis
charged her dark sugar at the
Oceanic wharf yesterday. 1t was
placed IN the warehouse.
The schooner Norma will leave for
the South Seas today on trading
expedition. Captain Rosehill will
have charge of the vessel.
A cable from Hakodate announces
the arrival there of the sealers
Geneve and Ocean Belle with catch
es of 1150 and 1850, respectively.
Captain Haglund resumes COM
mand of the steamer Mikahala today
after enjoying a brief vacation.
Captain Freeman returns to the
Iwalani.
The marine insurance companies
that carried risks on the cargo of the
Colima to the extent of 100000, have
taken no steps yet to adjust their
losses, and will do nothing until the
Federal inspectors at San Francisco
file their report. This report will
serve the companies concerned as a
notice Of loss and it will enable them
to proceed formally with their ad-
justments OF the claims of shippers.
The new ocean liner st. Louis will
be sent to Cramps shipyard and will
omit one trip across the Atlantic.
The builders wish to make some
alterations in her tunnels and draft
pipes. Some defect was found when
she had her trial trip, but it was
believed a trip across the Atlantic
would demonstrate more definitely
what was needed and that all neces-
sary alterations could be made when
the vessel returned to the United
States.
Shipowners are beginning to
doubt the advantage of contracting
on the Atlantic side for every con-
ceivable thing and operation to be
performed in American ports, some
of them having found by experience
that by contracting at home for fresh
meat supplies at San Francisco their
captains had to pay a good deal more
for their beef than what they would
have required to do had they been
free to buy as they liked on the spot.
1t is asserted that in the case of tow
ing, stevedoring, and such like con-
tracts, contract vessels do not get the
same attention as those who are free.

OF Interest to Managers Of Plan
fafiOns.

A Model Plant is not complete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing with
small Engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station /? One generator
can furnish power to your Pumps, Centri-
fugals, Elevators, Flows, Railways and
Hosts; also furnish light and power for
a radius of from Is to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with hing priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available, il
costs nothing to generate Electric Power.
The HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY lie
now ready to furnish Electric Plants
and Generators of all descriptions at
short notice, and also has on hand a
large stock of Wire, Chandeliers, and all
Electrical Goods.
All orders will be given prompt atten-
ton, and estimates furnished for Light
ing and Power Plants; also attention lie
given to House and Marine Wiring.

Adams Being Reftted.

Preparations have begun at Mare
Island for repairing the sloop of
Adams. Some time since the Navy
Department decided to refit this
ship if it could be done inside the 20
per cent. limit. This means within
20 per cent. of the original cost of
the vessel. This law was made
several years ago as a result Of in
discriminate repairs on ships started
and carried on for the sole purpose
of examining navy yards with men
for election purposes. Accordingly
a board was appointed by Command
ant Howison TO examine and report
on the condition OF the Adams. This
was done, her timbers bored and
equipment inspected, and the report
was favorable. But little deteriora-
ton had occurred. New decks and
forecastle will probably be laid and
modern guns fitted to her before she
resumes active duty.
