Silver Leaf Rebekah Lodge
No. 81, was instituted in Challis
on the evening of March 31st,
1894. with the following named
charter members
Sisters Penwell, Julia and
Mabel Funkhouser, Jinegar. and
jackson. Brothers Penwell,
Funkhouser, jackson, Jinegar,
w. d. Pierce and M. M. Sweet.
Only IL charter members, but
its growth for portion of that
time has been healthy, until now
we number nearly four times it's
original charter, and great good
remains yet to be accomplished
II our Sisters and Brothers will
work with zeal for our beloved
Order, but to accomplish this
we must work in harmony. Be-
ing one of the charter members,
| take great pride in seeing this
Lodge prosper, and my only
hope is that Silver Leaf No. 81
may be Este Pe1petua-let it be
perpetual; let it endure forever.
In conclusion, my Sisters and
Brothers, cultivate and cherish
the precepts of the fraternity,
polish its beautiful points until
they reflect and show it's good
ness into the world, as like the
spires of the city on the hill.
May Friendship ever dwell in
your hearts, so as to exclude
bigotry, intolerance and hatred.
May you be steadfast and i'm
movable in the practice of every
virtue, that you may be safely
guided amid the temptations and
snares of life, until at last, the
Chain of Links, shall congregate
us into that Grand Lodge above.
where Friendship, Love and
Truth shall forever prevail and
never die.
In the life of every mortal
There's river deep and wide
Over which he's Gaily passing,
Baffeting its surging tide;
And the river, in its fury
OFTEN wrecks the passing bark
And the traveller, void of wisdom
Sinks beneath the waters, dark
Selfshness combined with Error,
Are the waters of the stream;
Hatred, and thousand passions,
From its murky surface gleam
Gushing from the fount of Evil
Flowing through the land of Wrong
1t has kept the world in darkness
And is keeping it too long.
We have found way of crossing
By bridge of mystic tie"
And the precepts it has taught us
We ought to cherish till we die.
On one side is FRIENDSHIP planted
TRUTH upon the other shore,
LOVE, the arch which spans the current
Bears each Sister and Brother safely DER

Gems of Custer county assembled
in the Odd Fellows hall, and
asked that an Independent ticket
be put up in Custer county, re-
CARELESS of politics-only that il
be for silver--a ticket that all
can support;a ticket of competent
men and women; q ticket that
represents the people and
not certain portion of the
county or set of politicians. This
was the only desire of the large
mass meeting of loyal and pat
riotic citizens who demanded a
change in the affairs of Custer
county. 1t was not meeting OF
the disgruntled, nor boilers, nor
Populists, as has bean charged,
but it was an assemblage of the
citizens-the men who till the
soil; the men who work in the
mines and mills; the business
men and all who wanted a new
deal in the affairs of the county.
They fully realized the almost
bankrupt condition of the county;
the high tax levy and other erro-
rs and their voice was for reform
for qualified men, and not for
Office. With only one ticket in
the field that would cut any figu-
re, the people looked at it in this
manner, that a nomination on
the fusion ticket was the same
as an election, and the people
had little to say in the matter, as
the conventions had elected the
"slate ticket"
The meeting was called to or
der and M. M. Sweet was elected
chairman, and Geo. E. Reyes,
secretary. After general ex-
preston from those present, it
was decided to put up a ticket in
the county to be known as ''The
Independent Ticket" and prim-
aries in the different pre-
cinets and the convention to be
held at Clayton will be called as
soon as possible.

A HOME EXHIBIT,

At Special Meeting of the Bu-
reau of Agriculture Yesterday,
Prof. KoebeIe, EntomoIogist,
Was Given a Six rIonths' Leave
of Absence to Hunt Pest De-
stroyers Abroad and Secretary
Clark Was Empowered to Ar
range for a Permanent Public
Exhibit in Honolulu of Island
Productions.
From THE HAWAIIAN of to-day.I
A special meeting of the Bureau
of Agriculture and Forestry was
held at the office of the Minister of
the Interior yesterday forenoon, the
following members being present:
Hon. Henry E. Cooper, president
of the Board, T. J. King, E. w.
Jordan, Wray Taylor and Byron
o. Clark.
President Cooper stated the meet
ing was called to decide on what
action should be taken regarding
Professor Koebele making a trip to
the United States to collect para
sites for the horn fly, fluke, cut
worms aud other pests which are a
menace to agricultural interests.
On request of President Cooper;
the Professor outlined the work to
be done, saying the present was a
dull time for his work here, and also
the best time for carrying on the
proposed work abroad.
Mr.. Taylor said any work Prof.
Koebele outlined should receive con-
Sideration.
Prof. Koebele said there are some
birds that could be introduced as
aids in keeping down the pests, but
great care should be used, for any
damage done by them is always
noticed, and in such case the bene-
fits from them, be they ever so
great, would not be appreciated.
1t was moved by Mr.. Taylor,
seconded by Mr.. Jordan, and unani-
mouSly carried, that Prof. Koebele
be granted six months leave of
absence to collect parasites, etc,
one-half his expenses to be paid
from the incidental expense fund,
and one-half by the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association.
1t was unanimously agreed that
all soil importation, on plants or
otherwise, when there was danger
of introducing insect pests, should
be prohibited; and any such soil at
tempted to be introduced should be
destroyed at the expense of the i'm
porter.
The President stated that Secre-
tary Clark wished to establish a
permanent exhibit of the products
of the Islands, also provide a Suita-
bic place for Professor kOebele to
carry on the work of his department
and arrange for the exhibition of his
collection of insects, so the public
can see them and become familiar
with their appearance. This eX-
hibit would make the results of the
work carried on under the Bureau
available as a source of information
for the general public, as well as to
show strangers visiting the Islands
what can be produced here. 1t was
moved by Mr.. King and carried
that Secretary Clark is instructed
to carry out his plans under the
supervision of the President of the
Board.
On motion of Secretary Clark
the rule prohibiting the forwarding
of plants from one island to another,
adopted August 18th, 1893, was re-
pealed.

all of us looked poor creatures by his

They certainly cannot be called saw
ages, though from our point of view
many of their customs are of a very
savage nature. Piracy is very general
among those living on the sea coast or
on the great rivers; but it must be re-
membered that ii is not so very many
centuries ago that a toll was demand
ed of all passers-by by the barOns hav-
ing castles on the Rhine and other
navigable rivers; the crews of wrecked
ships were plundered on every coast
of Europe, our own included, not so
very long ago; and IN the days of Eli
Zabeth, Drake and Hawkins were re-
garded by the Spaniards as pirates of
the worst class, and l fear that there
was good deal of justice in the accu-
sation. But the Malays are people
with a history; they believe themselves
that they were the original inhabitants
of the island of Sumatra; however, it
is certain that in the twelfth century
they had extended their rule over the
whole of that island and many of its
neighbors, and in the thirteenth had
established themselves on this PENN
sula and had founded an empire eX-
tending over the greater part of the
islands. down to the coas- of Austria
liza They had by this time acquired
the civilization of India, and their sui
tans were powerful monarchs. They
carried on great trade with China,
Hindustan and Siam, and their mari
time code was regulated and confirmed
as early as 1916. by Mohammed Shah. >"
How is ii that they have come to
such grief, doctor?"
Principally by the fact that they
had the feudal. or you may call it the
tribal system. Each petty chief and
his followers made war on his neigh
bors if he was strong enough; and as
some tribes conquered others, the en-
pire became split up into an indefinite
number of clans, whose chiefs paid but
a very nominal allegiance to the sui
tan. So islands broke off from the en-
pire. until it had practically ceased to
exist, and the Malays were a people
united only by similar customs and
language, but in no other respect, and
were, therefore. able to offer but slight
resistance on the arrival of the Dutch
and ortuguese in these regions. Still,
the upper classes preserve the memory
of their former greatness. The people

At the appointed hour and evening
they gathered at the rendezvous, shiv-

opened their expectant eyes there
sounded in their ears a most awful
answer to their anything but musical
sounds; it was a moan or groan and a
wall combined; then a voice asked:
