cally the board ha no au .hority to do
so.
Mr.. Foster made a motion that the
city attorney be cal ed upon to advise
wb ether the BOARD had the right to paw

obligations. Judge B acker claimed
thai the board al the present time ex-

the supreme court had given its de-

After further discussion it was I'M

Judge Blacker said that many tax
payers had SPOKEN to him ABOUT a
change in buildings which would give
the Cent al school, building TO ward 2,
and buiio q new high school. Supt.
Putnam said the high school occupied
five rooms in the Central school build
ing. Mr.. rev said the city was going
to need q first class high school build
ing. Mr.. Foster advised d stributing
the lower grades among the Different
wards, up W the filth grad, cOnven-
lent for the younger children. This
would require ono building in ward 2,
and the Ce n sral building would accom-
modate the intermediate and high
school grades. Also, that this as the
pest economy that could b, practiced
at this time. Mr.. Martin held that the
CITY should have high school building,
but he wanted to fnu out where we are
at on the tinanciat que stiOn. DR.. Race
supported the idea Of erecting high
school building, and give the Cent. al
building t. ward 2.
Mr.. Martin held that in ten years
the larger part of the populat "a would
be living norta of the track; the high
school bui ding should be up tn re, and
enough property purchased at an early
Gay for grounds. Both Supt. Putnam
and Mr.. Martin advocated purchasing
the new city park known also as the
government park. Mr.. Martin held
that the business quarter would be
along San Antonio street. and Magoffin
avenue in the course of the next ten
years. DIR. Race believed that the
present pop i ,tion of the town was
1900 to 1900, DR.. Martin put the
figures at 1O,OO while Judge Blacker
thought they should be at least
5000.
Mr.. Pew, the secre tary, here report
ed that he had accumulated bins on lis
hands amounting 10 $622.50, but in
view of the unc 81 tain situation it was
next nesting. There were oubts as
to whether the secretary and the tire as
ur were legally holding their resi- &C.
tive offices in view Of the deci sion Of
the court of sppe sis. Judge Blacker
neld that compromise wouli be ar
rived at before the court of Appeals 10

did not believe that any citizens would
make fight on the puOlic schools. We
ta1 reorgauize right after the action
of the supreme court, a.d go en- ana
pay our teachers out of the moneys on
nand. Treasurer Foster reported that
there were $1,000 ia tue strong box.
The monthly Jay roll was about $4,000,
aud the ie4cbers were paid up to July.
The question of how to keep the
schools runni~g during The present,
as to judicial procedure

assured as to their pas. there

AMONG THE JAPANESE.
Runaway Laborers Arrested on
Hawaii.

~
News of a very serious ARRAY in 90
kala, Hawaii, arrived on the Claudine
yesterday morning. 1t seems that g
Jaanese laborer on the plantation IN
the place mentioned above suspected
his wife and wishing to make sure that
his suspicious were well grounded, hid
himself in the cane one night last week
and waited developments. 1t was not
long before six or eight Japanese came
to call on his wife. This served as sig
nal, and appearing suddenly with two
very sharp cane knives, he chased the
invaders of his premises, who, seeing
themselves cornered, elm bed up into
the rafters of the house. The infuri-
ated Jaanese used his knives to so good
effect that he succeeded in cutting up
six of the men and Of this number,
one is not expected to live.
Drs. Stow and Irwin are attending the
men and Chester A Doyle the Japanese
interpreter and Sheriff Andrews are in
vestigating the matter. The Japanese
ran away after he committed the crime
but he was caught later and is now at
Laupahoehoe.
Chester A. Doyle has been over in
Kona and has arrested quite number
of Japanese on warrants sent up from
Honolulu for charges of conspiracy
against the Hawaiian Government.
Some of these have already arrived
here and are being held pending inves-
tigation and trial. After the arrests
had been made mauka of Kailua, the
whole of the police force in the North
and South Kona districts hid in the
bush near by in the hope Of catching
a number of the men who escaped.
Kona has been full of runaway jap
anese from all plantations of the ISL
and of Hawaii for some two years
back. Most of these runaways are en-
ployed in coffee planting but since the
arrival of Doyle in the district, the
labor seems to be demoralized for in
many of the places whole gangs of the
Japs who were runaway contract labor
ers and who have formed companies
to clear the land for the coffee people,
have left their camps with tools,
clothes, ETC., and have taken to the
bush probably not to return very soon.
Some of the Japs have returned to the
plantatins from which they ran away
over a year ago. Doyle has also ar
rested some Japanese mauka of Waia-
kea plantation to which place he went
on the Kinau by way of Kawaihae.
The Japanese were arrested late on
night and, after "a hours, no
charge was made against them at the
police station. In consequence of this,
the Hilo lawyers are in very much of
a quandary as the mode of going about
it to have them released. The Japan
csc are very much incensed over the
matter as bail has been refused them
all, though they are ready to put up
money in any quantity.
Doyle has started over to the Hama |
kua district, probably to arrest more
japanese.

Here's n spry Maine Girl.

Writing from East Orrington, Me-.
correspondent of the New York Sun
says: "All the way from here to Ban
gor people are talking about and prais-
ing Sarah Curran, the sixteen year-old
| daughter of Nick Curran, n dairy far
mer. Curran has been confined to the
house by rheumatic fever for six weeks
and every morning Sarah has been mp
at 3 o'clock to do the chores. When
she and her mother have MIXED eight
cen cows and put them to pasture, she
eats her breakfast and by the time
other milkmen are getting up she is on
the milk cart on her way to Bangor.
When she has gone over n good part
of the city, supplying customers in
pint aud quart lots, she turns the
| horse for home, arriving there in time
to take dinner. In the afternoon she
attends to the farm work ard does
other tasks that usually devolve upon
man. After supper she helps to
milk the eighteen COWS and goes to
bed early to get n good start IT, 2 next
| morning.
Though she does the work of man
| she is not Mt all mannish in her WAYS,
being OF slight frame and very modest.
Until she left school two years ago to
help her father on the farm she was
considered the brightest pupil in her
class. Since then most of her life has.
| been passed outdoors. She has driven
n pair of horses to haul cord wood to
market, taking it from the stump in
the forest to the dooryard of her Gus
toners and unloading it without
trouble. She says that when she
reaches eighteen years of age-by
which time her father ought to be we'll
to-do-she is going away to school and
take course in some college that
grants equal privileges to both sexes.
After getting educated she purposes to
become a doctor.

the danger from splitting of the

from the trunk would perhaps not be
very great; but, as matter of fact,
many trees do thus split, and n knowl-
edge of the proper treatment of such
wounds is therefore important Some
times the two split portions of tree
are brought together and an iron rod
passed through both parts, the ends
being secured by bolthead and by a
