Hoyt's "A Bunch of KEYS "

Much clamOr is made these days for
cleanliness and artistic merit in
theatricals. We are told that many
plays, in fact most of them, appeal to
the immoral instinct, that the public
sets the pace and like fawning, SlaviSh
servant the stage follows. But lately,
imported from across the water, came
tragedy which has brought the pub
lie itself to the point of RELUCTANT
admission that perhaps in the near
future the stage may become in the
best sense of the word an adjunct of
the church. In comedy also, there
has been change and revival quite as
marked for having returned to it's
legitimate function. True mirth,
based upon the foibles of mankind,
which harms no one and which has a
happy termination, foremost in the
latter class is Hoyt's "A Bunch of
Keys" presented by Gus Bothner's
strong company which will be seen at
Grand Opera House, Tuesday, Oct. 81.

IGNORE JOHNSON.
{. P. ARPIN IN WASHINGTON.
Before Secretary of the Interior Concerning

Before Secretary of the Interior Concerning
Timber on Reserve IN Sawyer County.
E. P. Arpin, who has been combin-
ing business and pleasure in New
York, stopped in Washington this
week on the return home. A special
dispatch to the Sentinel under date of
Oct "a, from it's bureau at the natl
onal capital, gives the following
concerning his visit there:
The secretary of interior today gave
hearing to E. p. Arpin, representing
the Arpin Lumber company of Grand
Rapids, interested in contracts for
large quantity of hardwood timber on
the Lac Court DIES GRIZZLIES reservation.
Mr.. Arpin was accompanied by Repre-
sentative Minor and an attorney from
New York. The conference was
attended by Indian Commissioner
Jones. The Arpin company was some
time ago practically given permission
to remove several million feet of tim
Der from the reservation, but the
matter was held up on receipt of
information that considerable more
hardwood timber than had been
advertised was contained in the tract.
The secretary had virtually decided to
re-advertiSe the timber for sale, and it
is understood that he has not changed
his mind since the hearing today. 1t
is expected by the officials that aS
there are about 100000 feet of hard
wood timber in the Lac Court DIES
Oreilles tract instead of 100000 as
advertised, more proposals will be
received. Several firms having re-
Gently signitied their intention OF
| bidding.
| BID Is REJECTED.
The Sentinel this Thursday morn
ing contains another bureau dispatch
from Washington showing that ArSin
| L. Arpin is also there and touching
further upon the matter as follows:
| 1t was announced at the Interior
department today that the hardwood
timber on the Lac Court de Oreilles
reservation, for which the Arpin
Lumber company Of Grand Rapids
made bid, will be readvertised for
sale. 4. L. Arpin had another confer
ence with Secretary Hitchcock this
morning when he was informed that
the contract of the Arpin company
would not be approved and that the
timber would be disposed of at public
sale. 1t is not likely that the sale
will be made until next spring. Mr.
Arpin expressed the opinion today
that his firm had not been fairly
treated as they had gone to the
expense of making preparations for
logging on the reservation. Mr.
Arpin says the firm made its bid in
good faith on a government estimate
and that the amount of the timber at
Lac Court de OreilleS is not as great
as has been stated by the officials.

YESTERDAYS SHAM BATTLE.

The sham battle on the Punahou pas
ture yesterday forenoon was witnessed
by hundreds of people. The First Regi-
ment was a little late in getting away
from the drill shed but when they did
the street cars took them quickly to
the college grounds. They then formed
and marched to the pasture Seven
tents had been set up on the extreme
WAIKIKI side previous to their arrival
and the two field pieces were awaiting
them on dray.
The regiment formed as If for dress
parade and then Co. f, headed by the
band, marched around to the stone
wall received the stand of colors from
captain Ashley and marched back
again. Mrs. Dole, accompanied by
President Dole. Col Soper. Major Pot
ter and others. then made the presenta-
ton speech, which was responded to on
behalf of the regiment by Col Jones.
IL was not until after 10 o'clock that
Major Camara marched his battalion
up on Rocky Hill, taking one field piece
with him. The First Battalion under
Major Ziegler, marched away I'm the di-
rectiop of the valley. Guns were soon
in action. The First Battalion made a
flank attack which was stubbornly re-
sisted by Major Camaras and his men.
Ziegler's force and Camaras advance
met at the stone wall, where there was
heavy firing. The latter were forced
to retire to the hill. Then came more
heavy firing on both sides. About
lO:45 the bugle sounded Cease Fir
ing, and the battalions marched to
the tents for refreshments.
During the engagement Sergeant Pc
terson of Co. +, on the attacking side
was badly injured about the face by a
charge of powder from one of the force
on the hill, the latter not seeing the
men who were seeking to take the po-
sition and firing just as Peterson got
his head above the rocks but few feet
away
The judges, Col. Wagner. Col. Scott
and Major Mccoy, decided in favor of
Major Camara's command
