The Rising in Hawaii.

Advices have been received in New
York from Honolulu dated May 8,
according to which Lord Kimberley
has decided that the two men Wal
ker and Richard, who were convicted
of treason for having participated
in the recent Royalist rising at that
place, are British subjects, and must,
consequently, be protected. The
Hawaiian Republic, however, will
not admit this, maintaining that
both men were naturalized, The
Hawaiian authorities are willing to
submit the matter to arbitration,

The most lovely spot on Oahu is
Sans Souci. This favorite seaside
resort, which has been immortalized
by the pen Of Robert l.. Stevenson,
who resided there for months, is
only four miles from Honolulu and
within easy reach of the tramcars.
The surroundings and bathing at
this famous resort are superior to
anything found in the Hawaiian
Islands. Cottages and board can
be obtained on easy terms. The
table set by the manager is better
than any offered here at other ho-
tells. For picnics, bathing parties
and outings the best accommodation
can. be secured by giving notice to
the manager. u

AuBuRa, Ala; June 12.-Secretary
Herbert delivered an address to-day
to the graduates OF the States Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College. In
speaking Of the changes of the last
thirty years he said the young men
entering practical life now were to

world. The citizens Of all forty-four
States, through their State organiza-
tions, enjoy the blessing of local
self-government.

ACCIDENTAL DEATHS,
Caused by CareIessness.

The majority of people die sooner than
they should. Evidence Of this fact is grow
ing daily. Waring says; "Disease is not n
consequence of life; it is due to unnatural
conditions of living abuse, want"
DIR. Stephen Smith, on the same subject,
" Man is born to health and long life dis
ease is unnatural, death, except from old
age, is accidental, and both are preventable
by human agencies" This is almost invari-
ably true of death resulting from heart dis
ease. Careless over-exertion, Incorporate
use Of tea, coffee, tobacco, alcoholic or other
stimulants are generally the causes of this
difficulty, and indifference to its progress re,
suits in sudden death, or long sickness end
ing in death. Ry the newspapers 1t can be
seen that many prominent and hundreds Of
persons in private life die from heart dis
ease every day.
If you have any of the following symp-
toms; shortness of breath, palpitation, irreg-
ular pulse, fainting and smothering spells,
pain in shoulder, side, or arm, swollen
ankles, etc, begin treatment Immediately for
heart disease Ifyou delay, the consequences
may be serious,
For oyer 20 years DR.. Franklin Miles,
The eminent specialist, has made profound
study of heart disease its causes and cure,
and many Of the leading discoveries in that
direction are due to him. His New Heart
Cure is absolutely the only reliable remedy
for the cure of heart disease as is proved
by thousands of testimonials from grateful
persons who have used it.
James A. Pain, editor of the Cory, Pa, Leader,
states "Afler an apparent recovery from three
months Of Ia grippe, fell on the street uncon-
sCous from heart disease. In one month fron

SEED GRAIN NOTICE.

In the distribution of seed grain
under the recent act of the legislature,
none except heads of families are en-
titled to procure seed under its provis-
ion. The applications on file with the
county clerk have been carefully look
ed over and all applications of unmar-
ried persons and those who still owe
the county on seed grain notes of 1891
have been taken out and no seed will
be given out on such applications
If any unmarried person, whose APP
plication is on file, is the head of a
family, he or she will be entitled to re-
ceive grain under this law by satisfy
ing the commissioners of that fact
This notice is given in order that
those clearly not entitled to grain will
not be put to the trouble and expense
of coming here for grain, for this plain
provision of the law and action of the
county commissioners will not be devil
ated from In any case.

The failure of the Logan Exchange
Company IS causing considerable liti-
CATION. Some time ago creditor OBJ
tanned judgment IN Justice Browns
court, against the company, and
issued an execution. This exc
cution WAS held three days by the
constable and then returned with
the Endorsement, mo property
found" The justice then issued
an execution against the stock
holders individually, for en- amount
equal to the value Of stock they held.
Many of the stockholders paid in to
the Justice court the amounts they
owed, and supposed they were out of
trouble But Bittman, Todd & Co.,
through their attorney, bring suit
against the company, in JUS
tice PoIing's court, for another claim,
and obtain judgment, execution is is
issued, and held for thirty days, and
returned mo property found" Bit
man, Todd & Co., then have execu-
ton issue against the individual stock
holders, who claimed they We're not
liable, as they had paid all they were
liable for, and cite the payment in

out for thirty days, aud the one 49,

Ghe stockholders was not good, ant
conse quently they were held, and
quoted authorities to prove their po-
sition, which was upheld by Justice
Polling The case goes to the dis
trict court and will prove to be an In
teresting one. AS the stockholders
are held to an amount equal to the
value of their stock, it is hardly likely
that they can be compelled to pay
twice the amount, and if Justice Po-
ing 10 sustained, Justice Brown will

visited the home of Charles Freder-

is preparing to use an extensive irri-
CATION plant, and as he has an abund7
ant supply of water, his chances Of
success are very hatterng, His out
fit consists of a Fairbanks mill and
pump, and was purchased through
French q Hahnenkratt. The wheel
is 16 footer with a pump cylinder
10x19 and a 6-inch discharge, which
will, under ordinary winds, deliver
1000 gallons of water per hour. The
water is conveyed some 300 feet to a
reservoir 50xl50, situated on a high
corner OF the plot Of some five acres
that will be experimental upon. The
water is obtained from we'll that is
supplied through a direct connection
with Deer creek, and so far has fur
nished the pump with plenty Of water.
Mr.. f. has not, as yet, fully complet-
ed his plan of operation, but as he
has plenty of water and just the
right slope of land, undoubtedly will
get ample returns for his investment
He will start out with onions, pota-
toes, and a supply Of vegetables for
his family.
