services at the churches and in the
evening a ball at Culver's hall. The
address delivered by Rev. Brown In
the Presbyterian church was most
interesting, dealing with the great.
ness of this country and its possibili-
ties for good. Many Of the compari-
SONS made by him seem almost too
strong to be true, but each one is
borne out by the facts. At an early
day we will present this address to
our readers, and we have no doubt
many will wish to preserve it.
At a meeting OF the volunteer fire
department Monday evening a con-
stitution and bylaws were adopted
and the organization is assuming
permanent form. Owing to the small
amount of money on hand for the
purpose, the lateness of the season
and protests of certain parties con-
corning the site selected, 1t was de-
termined to postpone the erection of
an engine and nose house until next
year, when a more permanent and
commodious building can be built.
The department accepted the offer of
the Power Mercantile company to
provide convenient shed room for the
apparatus this winter. The next
meeting of the company will be held
at Judge McFarland's Office next
Tuesday evening, when every MEM
Der should be present to participate
in the election of officers and the
transaction of other important bust
ness.
In this issue appears a most inter-
esting letter from the pen of E. K.
Cheadle, former county attorney and
now with Co. / at Manila. This ia
the second of Mr.. Cheadle's commu-
nicatioDs it has been our privilege to
present to our readers, and will be
found to deal largely with the cOndi-
ton and customs of the inhabitants
of our new Asiatic possessions, while
some attention is given to a denial of
the reports which found circulation
here i'm August last concerning the
ocean trip of the Montana regiment.
Mr.. Cheadle is a fluent and entertain
ing writer and we are sure every |
will enjoy his communication. !
We also have on our desk a breezy
from Ed Grindrod, former STEM
i'm Lewistown, which deals
with an inland trip taken by several
of the boys of Co. /, and which will
appear in print az soon as III space
will permit.
Several adverse claims to mining

Since the murder of r. NJ. Moody
on the evening of Nov. 10 there has
been much talk of securing a detec-
tive to ferret out the perpetrator of
this terrible crime, and it is not un-
likely that some steps to that end
will soon be taken. A detective, how
ever, will not come to Lewistown
wearing a placard, as some people
seem to suppose, n merely because
the officers do not daily detail to the
public the progress of theirinvestiga-
ton is no reason to suppose that
nothing ia being done" Criminals
are not apprehended by advertise
ments in newspapers Oh arguments
on street corners.
Note the holiday announcements of
our mercantile firms. The Power
Mercantile Co. have a beautiful stock
o display and take additional space
in these columns to describe the many
handsome holiday presents they are
now offering for sale. G. H. Williams
will Don announce great bargains in
this line Of goods, and Z. f. Little is
daily expecting receipt of a mostcom-
plete line, which he will extensively
advertise next week. The Christmas
stocks to be placed ON sale this year
promise to be of greater variety and
superior quality to any heretofore
brought to Lewistown. Watch the
columns of the ARGUS and make early
selections.
None of the candidates at the re-
cent election have as yet filed ac-
count of their expenditures, as re-
quired by statute, though several lar
waiting for the necessary blanks to
arrive. While the statements are re-
quired by law and often prove inter-
esting to the public, candidates, uc-
cessful or otherwise, are averse to
making public their account of ex-
penditures, and inasmuch as the law
fixes no penalty for failure to file such
statements, h statute is likely to be
quite generally disregarded. Other
state papers, however, contain many
of these confessions" proving that
i'm other counties the la is more gen.
orally regarded.

OLIVE CULTURE.

There is no good reason why
some of our hill sides, which now are
bare of trees or which are covered
with that rank vegetation which we
call Hilo grass, should not be planted
out in olive trees. In Southern Gail
fornia at the present time there are
2,500,000 olive trees, and the product
of these trees is in ever increasing de-
mand. The trees yield to the owner
from three to seven dollars each, ac-
cording to age.
The California picked olive is gain
ing in favor in the East and is COM
peting strongly with the olives from
the Mediterranean seaboard, the fruit
from the Pacific Slope being of finer
quality. If Southern California can
raise olives, undoubtedly the Hawaiian
Islands can. If the fruit on the Pacl-
fic slope is of extra fine quality, we
may be sure that that raised on these
Islands will be equally good.
Some years ago a Californian who
understood fruit growing called at
tention to the fact that the hills be-
hind Honolulu were admirably adapt
ed for olive culture. 1t is to matters
of this kind that attention should be
given. The experiment of planting
forest trees on the slopes above MAXI
Xxi and Lunalilo Home, has been emil
nently successful. If forest trees will
grow, why not olive trees. The few
olive trees that have been planted for
ornament rather than for use are re-
ported as doing WELL but then the best
locations have not been chosen. To
add another industry to the Islands,
should he the aim of all who have
their welfare at heart.

The story about cattle and japanese
what we know as the barking" sands
is entirely apocryphal. The sands do
not emit a noise until they are dis
turbed, and they do not emit sound at
all times. If handfuls of sand are ia
ken up and thrown together faint
sound like the barking of a dog is
heard, but it is very faint sound. On
the other hand if heavy body is
drawn over the sands, the sound as of
a pedal pipe upon an organ is made.
AS to the cause of the sounds many
theories have been advanced, but none
have, up to date, thoroughly satisfied
all observers.

REFORMATORY SCHOOL.

In his report upon the Reformatory
School the Minister of Education
states that it labors under great dis
advantages. The soil on the premises
utterly unsatisfactory and does not
enable an agricultural teacher oppor-
tunity to educate the boys in agricul-
tural work.
At one time there was a fine tract
of taro land attached to the Reforma-
tory School, and the boys used to cul-
tivate the patches, thus getting a
practical knowledge of how to raise
the staple food supply upon which the
HawaiIans depend. But during the
middle eighties the brilliant idea
struck the Government of the day,
that young navy might be made out
of the boys in the Reformatory, so the
idea of agricultural labor was scorned
and life on the bounding wave was
aimed for Under such circumstances.
it was, away with taro patches,
spades, zoos" and picks. And they
were effectually done away with by
being sold. What became of the cash
no one now knows. \ considerable
number of the bigger boys went To sea
in the Kaimiloa on her celebrated voy-
age to Samoa. One has only to read
over the newspapers of that time 20
learn what that voyage was like; out
the Reformatory as such was Cor the
time being ruined, and it has been
crippled, as Minister Cooper POINTS
out, ever since.
The Minister suggests that tie
school ought to be removed to a more
favorable locality where good land is
available, and The Star heartily en-
dorses the suggestion.
1t should be pointed out that TIE
cost of tuition of the boys is $S9.23.

INQUESTS.

The change made in the Act with
regard to inouests pretty well covers
what was desired by the Representa-
tive who desired to amend the act as
brought in by Representative Achi.
The Act remains as it was, that is,
mandatory, in all cases of deaths
where there are suspicious circum-
stances, for the Coroner to call jury,
but there is a paragraph added that
all cases of sudden death shall be in
vestigated by the Coroner and he, in
his discretion, may call jury. This
will give investigation in all cases of
sudden death and takes away the inn
putation that inquiry is made on the
ground of suspicion of foul play.
The difficulty with the bill has been
in covering two points O Cases
where there is suspicion, but where
parties connected with the deceased
should be eXonerated. (2) Cases
where there is no suspicion, and where
guilty parties must be sought for.
Then, as was quickly seen, there was
the score of expense. Probably the
least that a Coroner's jury would cost,
taking in mileage, etc, would be $25.
1t appears as if the paragraph insert
ed covers the ground desired. At any
rate it can be seen how the law works
for two years, and then it can be
again amended if it is found unsatis-
factory.
1t is undoubtedly a step in the
right direction, and the writer has for
many years been striving to have
something of this kind put upon the
Statute book. OF course to a major
ity of people the matter looks very
much like a storm in a tea pot. but
no one can tell what may happen
either to himself or his family, and it
is right to devise some means by
which inquiry may be made into the
cause of sudden death, and vet no
slur be cast upon the fair fame of
those who may be connected with it.

There is no doubt about the necessi-
ty of "A rapid transit system, but the
plans for the new system should he
carefully considered and no doubt will
be. That the old tramway SYSTEM is
out of date is absolutely proved. That
it is a disgrace to our town, and about
the only glaring blot we have as a
civilized city, is d fact. That we must
have something that will replace it.,
and that it is very hard to believe
that any promises made by the pres
ent tramway company are likely to be
realized, can also not be gainsaid. The
new rapid transit system is to be put
up by local men with local capital,
and that naturally commends itself to
every one interested in the place. If
the plans prove Thoroughly satisfac-
tory, the new system will go through.
Competition is always a public adj
vantage.

RED CROSS FOUNDER IN TROUBLE

In the worlIhouse of Heiden, in the
Canton of Appenzell, Henry Dunnant,
the founder of the International Red
Cross Society, is passing the closing
hours of his useful life. His mind is
| impaired and symptoms of insanity
have appeared, so that it is doubtful
whether he will ever know that it was
to him that the International Medical
Society Congress, held in Moscow, a
few weeks ago, unanimously awarded
its prize as to the man who has done
the greatest service to humanity and
medicine in the present age" Some
years ago an announcement of Dun
nant's destitute condition aroused
universal establishment and painful
surprise, which were only set at rest
when statement was published to
the effect that the Dowager Empress
of Russia had settled upon him an an
nuity sufficiently large to enable him
to end his days in comfort and peace.
Unfortunately, these good intentions
of the Czarina do not appear to have
materialized. or else the money which
she intended for the founder of the
Red Cross has been diverted and mis-
appropriated by those entrusted with
its transmission. This often happens
in Russia, and it is the exception rath-
er than the rule when n gift from any
member of the Imperial house reaches
its destination.
