But the great scneme fell through,
and Reayis, convicted, served two
years in prison in New Mexico. IN
fortunately, the punishment aid not
fall upon him alone. There IS rom
ance connected with the history of the
land grant which adds sadness to Its
last pages:
During my first visit TO Mexico
met young Spanish girl. Her features
rather inclined TO the jewish type; ner
eyes we've large and OF darkest hazel;
a profusiOn OF black and silken HAIR
hung in a great mass below her waist;
the delicate lines of her body and her
exquisite grace and fascination told of
noble Spanish ancestry. She was of
splendid physique, elastic step, and a
superb dancer. She was at home in
the water or on a horse, and was an
adept with rod, gun, or lariat. L In
Quired into the history of this child OF
nature and found that she had been
reared from her earliest recollection in
the mastnesses of mountains remote
from civilization. No one knew the
history of her birth
Reavis at once became infatuated
with the beautiful girl. and also saw in
| her possible heir to the Peralta grant.
He induced her 10 accompany him, and
in Spain the two were married:
'tOne day as I was making the
rounds of the curio shops | came across
| two ivory portraits of great excellence
| evidently a husband and wife OF Span
| ish nobility belonging to the period
I closing the eighteenth century. l pur-
| chased these pictures, and they were
| the foundation upon which | built the
mythical superstructure that all but
stood against the efforts of the govern
ment and the great expenditures OF
money TO tear it down. l told my wife
that these portraits were of her great
| grandparents.
| In Denver today, the forger Reavls
! gaunt and white-haired, stopped with
premature old age, lives in poverty
| With him is his wife, the dark-eyeo
woman who still retains traces Of the
Andalusian beauty of her youth. The
pair have two children, twins, who
| have inherited the eyes and features OF
| their mother.

DON'T NEGLECT.
A Common Case Of Piles 1t May
Lead to Serious Results
(From the Sydney Herald.)

(From the Sydney Herald)
When people generally understand
that all such fatal diseases as fistula,
ulcer of the rectum, fissure, etc, al
most Invariably begin in q simple case
Of piles, they will learn the wisdom of
taking prompt treatment for the first
appearance Of trouble in this quarter.
Doans Ointment will certainly cure
every form Of piles-itching, bleeding,
protruding. or blind piles-and hum
reds of lives have been saved by using
this cheap but effective remedy right
at the start because at such time
seated cases several pots are some
times necessary before a lasting cure
a single pot will effect a cure while
in the old chronic deep seated cases
several pots are sometimes necessary
before a lasting cure is effected. Here
is a case:
Mr.. William Gilliver of the we'll
known firm of GiIliyer & Curtis, Rail-
way and General Contractors, and
whose private address is 'Avoca'

FRUITS.

The fruits that are grown in quanti-
ties to amount to items of export are
bananas and pineapples. The total
production of these fruits it is not pos
sible to give. The home consumption
of each fruit is very considerable, be-
ing consumed by all classes Of the COM
munity. The expectations OF the two
fruits, respectively, for the year 1897,
most Of which went to the United
States, with a fractional portion to
Canada, were as follows: Bananas,
Is, 1886 punches, valued at SIS, 412.5O;
pineapples, 1855 pecks, valued at
$14,423.17.
These are the two chief fruits OF the
Islands, for which there is an ample
market in the United States free from
competition with the American art
icles. Any other fruits, such as
oranges, lines, and lemons, or stone
fruits, although capable of being grown
in abundant quantities to meet the
island requirements, can not be grown
for export to enter into competition
with the fruits of California.
The bananas grown on the Islands
are we'll known for their extremely
good quality. Cinnamon are the chief
cultivators of the banana, which flour
| ishes in rich, deep, alluvial or deposit
soils on the low levels near the sea and
| in the rich and protected valleys.
White men with their better methods
surpass Cinnamon in the cultivation OF
| this fruit.
| The pineapple culture has been taken
Iup by Americans and other white cul-
turists The very finest fruit, however
is the small native pineapple, which
| has an extremely delicate aromatic
flavor. The latter has been grown al
indefinitely long time and chiefly b!
the native Hawaiians.
The capabilities of the Hawaiian
soils and climates for variety and ex
cellence of fruit production have no
yet been amply tested. There are In
ldividual locations and private ground
where experiments are seen in cours
of trial which indicate that fine quail
Iity and an enormously increased quan
tity of the fruits mentioned and mum
erous others can be grown with full
success.

The city of Honolulu is almost Who'll

Cinnamon. who occupy suitable lands
within and around the city limits. The
mode of distribution or service OF
houses is fairly good, but the quality
and variety are limited and poor. With

ample field for Improvement in the
methods of supplying the tables of the
city with green food of well-developed

districts provide themselves, yet hard

NEW CULTURES AND INDUSTRIES.
Concerning the addition of new Gull
lures and industries to the ones that
have been described very considerable
may be indicated. Most prominent
among probable successes is grape Gull
ture There are numerous examples
upon a small scale in several OF the
Islands which attest beyond question
that much can be done in grape and
wine production. 1t is not possible to
say at this time what action the soils
may have upon the character OF the
Juice and its products, excepting that
much of these lands naturally tends to
produce high purity and quality in the
saps and juices of vegetable organisms
generally as compared with the soil
and atmospheric conditions of other
lands.
Also. in addition to fruits and their
products that may be added to the
present industries of the Islands, 1t is
quite within the limits of probability
to say that the soils and climates OF
the Islands will be found favorable
for the culture of. plants and trees that
yield "barks" and 'milks from whlcf
medicinal preparations are made. The
| cinchona barks can certainly be pro
duced on the sheltered attitudes OF the
Islands. Again, there are the condl
| tions here for producing growths yield
| ing f1avors and dyes.
Further. there is room for a grea
expansion in fruits and growths tina
| thrive specially we'll in salt soils nea
the sea. The cocoanut trees thrive ad
mirably in these locations, and in TIM
would be remunerative as an incident

Some note is to be made of possibil
tiles in cereal production. The grea

Special 10 the Register
Parkersburg, w. Va, March l.
Great interest is being taken by the
large crowd at criminal court in the
trial of Wade Grant, the negro who is
charged with numerous crimes against
Mrs. A. ]. Barry, Of Macksburg, Ohio,
while she was undergoing medical
treatment for deafness in this city last
October.
The prisoner, through it all, wore
that defiant look that has character
lied him from his arrest and lncar-
ceration. He appeared to be very
little concerned over the outcome,
smiling at his acquaintance and
Sowing at others VINO g4zsd at
him.
Mrs. A. J. Barry, the victim OF the
assault, accompanied by her hus-
band, two bright children and her
sister, Mrs. Richard Singleton, ap-
peared in court when the case was
opened.
Mrs. Barry was the first witness on
the stand and her testimony was the
same that was given by her at the
preliminary hearing before Squire
Jones. 1t was clear, concise, straight
forward and convincing. She detailed
how she had been awakened near the
hour Of midnight by some one clutch
ing her throat, and of the desperate
struggle which ensued, during which
her night clothing were torn 10 shreds,
and her face, neck and body bruised,
and finally her sinking in faint from
exhaustion. She saw her assailant's
face in the light cast by the lamp.
When requested TO identify her as
sailant she pointed to Wade Grant
and said in the most positive way,
that is the man" To be doubly sure
she was requested to go around and
pick her assaflant out OF the crowd
She did so and again pointed him cut
and said: THAT is the man, and !
a very dramatic scene and scarcely
a breath could have been heard in
the court room while it was being
enacted.
Mrs. Oliver Lttleton, the white wo-
man who took such great interest IN
the negros case, created a big sensa-
ton in court when she testified in her
husbands presence that she cared for
the negro, and secreted him in her
bone against Mr.. Littletons wishes,
and that she together with Mrs. b.
Frank Butcher, also white, prepared
the dainties which were sent 70 the
negro before Judge Jackson issued an
border prohibiting such actions.
The case was given TO the jury at
$50 tonight and in less than half
hour they returned with a verdict OF
guilty OF burglariously entering the
Barry home, with intent to commit
raDe, the penalty for which is five 10
fifteen years in the penitentiary.
Grant seemed much dazed over the
finding OF the jury. and for the first
time displayed uneasiness in the mat
ter. Grant must answer TO two more
indictments Of a more serious nature
Judge Jackson's prompt method Of
disposing Of the case is meeting with
the hearty approval Of Parkersburg-
ers.
