The question of a suitable harness
for blowing, has for many years been
a subject of much perplexity and worry
to planters. farmers and agriculturists
generally. With the ordinary whiffle
trees and trace chains, much annoy
ance was caused through the chains
becoming entangled with the horses
legs or the whiff1etree striking against
their heels. All this is, however
changed by the introduction of SHEER
WOODS STEEL HARNESS.
This is really the most complete and
wonderful thing in the harness line
ever offered to the public. Singletrees,
doubletrees and traces are entirely
done away with, and single chain is
all the coupling used between the
team and pillow or wagon, whichever
may be used The whole arrangement
is simplicity itself, and the price $25

teamste1.
We have also very fine stock of
strong and well-made DUMP CART

would go long way to equal them at
the prices, viz: 500 and s23 per set.

Heidi you know that in some

She-That's nothing. Here, in this
country, pigs often ride in the street
cars, occupying seats and paying fares
just the same as men. Do you chew

With the celebration of Queen
Victoria's birthday, Kamehameha
Day, Bunker Hill Day, the Dia-
mond Jubilee and the Fourth of
July following so closely that the
people have hardly finished one be-
fore starting in on another, Homo
lulu has no reason to complain for
want of celebrations. The best of
it is that although the preparations
for these events are in the hands
of individual nationalities, when it
comes to the actual celebrating
everybody joins in. While the
citizens of Honolulu show them
selves to be intensely patriotic they
are at the same time splendidly cos
mopolitan.

The English newspapers are
slowly but surely convincing the
people Of other nations that British
citizens do not regard the partici-
pants in the jameson raid as among
the heroes whose names should be
placed on the national roll Of hon
or. The Westminster Gazette
gives vent to the popular English
opinion in the following terms:
I'VE can not help thinking that
the item moral and intellectual
damage in the little bill which
President Kruger has just present
ed has got up on the wrong side of
the account. For it is this country
which has had all the kicks and no
ha'pence in consequence of the
raid. But in any event it is the
Chartered Company which has to
pay, and we suggest as an interest
ing prOblem-if the company pays
a million to the Transvaal for
moral and intellectual damage
how much ought to be paid to Eng
land for similar damage."

NO GREAT ANXIETY FELT.
War Department Sent Troops 10 Queli the
Disturbance, Last Week.

Washington, May, 31.-The Indian
trouble in southern Montana reported
from Helena, was made known to the
authorities of the war department, last
week, and in the opinion of the officials
is net likely to be followed by serious
results.
The first news of the affair came TO
the department in a telegram from
Col. Sheridan, the adjutant general OF
the department at st. Paul, received,
last Friday. which simply stated that
report had come to the headquarters
at st. Paul that two white men, herd
ers. had been killed near Lamedeer
reservation in Southern Montana. To
guard against trouble two troops of
cavalry were ordered by telegraph from
Fort Custer. They started, last Friday,
and since then no report has come to
the war department.
The absence of further reports from
the troops satisfies the war departmen mt
that the trouble has been quieted for
they say they would be sure to hear If
anything so serious as the killing of
troops had occurred.
