THE FOURTH AT HOL.
LI.
a Large Crowd Eljoy rhe CeIebra-
fIO0.

Tuesday was most auspicious day
for celebrating the l23d anniversary
OF the birth OF the republic. The
weather was somewhat warm though
not unusually so, and no discomfort
was experienced from the heat. 1t
was just the kind Of day to make the
white dresses look their prettiest and
to cause the young men to dig up the
shekels for ice cream and cooling
drinks for the fair ones.
The people began TO arrive early
and by ten o'clock crowd OF nearly
one thousand people had assembled to
participate in the festivities OF the
day. The business houses were lavish
" decorated with flags and bunting
and the true patriotic spirit was
manifest on all sides.
The program Of the day was begun
by the Sunday school children who as
sembled at the school house and under
the direction of Supt. Jencks formed
line of parade headed by the Holly
band and marched through town to
the grove, followed by long process
ion Of vehicles. Arriving at the
grove, +. J Hollister was selected
chairman Of the day. Prayer was
offered by Mrs. Helen NJ. Simpson.
VINO also made an eloquent and appro-
plate address OF welcome.
The Declaration OF Independence
was read by Mrs. j. Il. Webster.
Recitations were made by J. F.
Bunting, Zella wood, Myron Jencks
and Ethel Hoffman. All these were
good, but that Of Miss Hoffman was
worthy OF special mention for its ap
propiateneSs and splendid rendition.
&r. William MEG Eshen was intro
duced by the chairman as the orator
OF the day, and after he had spoken
few minutes everybody was con-
yinced that he was a speaker of great
force and intellect, with remarkably
accurate knowledge of the past histo-
ry ofour country. Frequent applause
greeted the speaker throughout his
discourse, showing that his remarks
were duly appreciated.
The forenoon program was con-
cluded with a -four contest by two
small boys one of which got : nickel
out OF the flour and the other sixty
hpe cents. Ice cream. lemonade. pea
nuts, etc, were dispensed on the
grounds by the Sunday school. and as
result the treasury was considerably
replenished.
In the afternoon came une sports
which were quite enjoyable. The 100
yard foot race was won by George
Webster, of Holly. George Cores won
the pony race with "old socks" the
noted racer OF the IS ranch. Five
boys took part in the potato race,

Explains His Actions.

san Francisco, March s. DR.. John
Raffel, late president of the municipal
council of Apia, arrived here to-day on
the steamer Alameda. DR.. Raffel said
that when he left Samoa everything
was tranquil and the Mataafa govern
ment was recognized as the provisional
government by the three treaty pow
ers and had the support of 80 per cent.
Of the native population and majority
of the foreign population.
THE German CONSUL" said DR.. Raffel,
could not enforce the decision of the
supreme court, because he believed that
decision to be in opposition to the GUS
toms of the Samoan people and the Sa-
moan government. and that pending in
structions from the home government
he could not seek to enforce it, particu
larly when 1t was so obnoxious to so
large number of the Samoan people.
"As to the report that the German
consul led the attacks of the Mataafa
forces he said, that is untrue. The
reason the provisional government
closed the supreme court is this: The
president of the municipal council. I'M
der the treaty, not only has local juris
diction in the municipal district. but is
also treasurer adviser and executive
officer of the Samoan government. He
Is such in the provisional government
under the treaty. The provisional gov
eminent held that it could not recog-
nize court to whose decision it was in
antagonism. My own opinion is that if
the treaty powers attempt by force to
install the Malietoa government it will
simply result in the Mataafa govern
ment going into the bush and controll-
ing everything outside of Apia. for al
lowing OBJECTIONS to the Maletoa gov
eminent, in case it is recognized, the
Mataafa government will still have
vast majority of partisans."

soon as they passed the walls they
massacred men, women and children
and performed all manner of revolving
cruelties. They then burned the cap

rebels pushed on to Shachou and Kau-

were opened by sympathizers within

lions are procured against two of their
number. against whom prosecutions
were begun yesterday and the day be-
fore. AS published in yesterdays STAN
dard. Norris Perels, was held to the
district court Tuesday for buying prop
erty from boys which, it was alleged,
had been stolen, and yesterday prose-
cution identically like the Perelson case
was begun against Charles Pierson,
young man who follows the business of
gathering up and buying junk. The
credit for working up both cases is due
to David Altman, special detective in
the employ of the Great Northern rail-
read.
About the time the brass journal
boxes were stolen. for purchasing
which Perelson was held for trial, an
other lot of the same kind of castings
was stolen from the Great Northern.
Detective Altman was given charge of
both cases. In the Pierson case he
learned that Persons young brother,
Clyde, Charles BouWare and Charles
Gallagher had stolen the second lot of
castings. ana from them he learned the
boys had sold the castings to Charles
PiersGn. He visited Persons place and
inquired about the castings, but Pier
son pr1fessed to know nothing about
them. Detective Altman did not be-
lieve Pierson and proceeded to search
his premises with the result that he
found in an old gunny sack hidden
away in shed. the castings he was
looking for. Upon Altman making the
discovery, Pierson owned up and said
he had bought the castings, and knew
they had been stolen.
Yesterday Detective Altman called at
the county attorneys, made a statement
of the case, and a complaint was grant
ed charging Pierson with receiving sto-
len property, knowing it to have been
stolen. The complaint was filed in JUS
tice Nichols court and warrant for
Persons arrest was issued.
Police Officer John O Meara. for whose
arrest for assault in the third degree
warrant was sworn cut Tuesday even
ing by his sister-inlaw Mrs. John Fo-
garty, was arraigned before Justice
Nichols yesterday. His hearing was set
for Friday, and he was released on $50
bonds. officer O'Meara, as soon as he
saw by the papers that warrant had
been issued for his arrest, presented
himself in court without waiting to be
arrested. He asserts that the action
against him is a piece Of spite woik on
the part of his -in-law. The merits
of the case will be heard on Friday.

A QUESTION Of OFFICES
Silver Republicans Want to Get
Back.
THE OVERTURES ARE MADE
They Are Ready to Quit an Independent
Organization - Democratic eau
cuses Will Be Held This
Evening.
THE OVERTURES ARE MADE

The city central committee of the sill
Yer republican party held a meeting
at the office of W. Nee. White last
evening and decided to make another
effort to unite with the old party. 1t
was claimed that the straight repub-
licans were now fully as anxious to re-
unite as the silver republicans We're.
Some of the latter were in favor of lying
down and quitting, but others wanted
to keep up the organization of the silver
republican party until they received
some assurances and promises of office
from the old party. and the latter plan
prevailed after a great deal of discus
sion. The idea seemed to prevail that
the silver republicans could get the
mayor and an equal division of the aid
ermen. Their candidate for mayor is
John G. Evans There was quite a
bunch of silver republicans at the meet
ing last night. Among them were NJ

George Pascoe, W. o. Clymo. F. l.. Mel
cher, Alderman Noyes and H. j. Sum-
ner.
In the absence of Chairman SWEET J.
B. Gallagher presided and Tom Rich
ards acted as secretary. After a few
propositions for a reunion had been pre-
scented, b. Galick made a motion that
a committee of five be appointed to con-
fer with the gold republicans and agree
on some plan of fusion. Gallick said
the silver republicans had received
nothing from the democrats long
enough and he was opposed to assisting
them any longer. j. S. Shropshire could
not see the need of keeping up the silver
republican organization any longer
Metcalf favored a reconciliation, but he
did not believe in taking any chances
at the primaries with the republicans.
Before he was willing to quit he want
ed to know what the silver republicans
We're going to get and until that time
the organization should be kept up.
Shropshire thought the thing to do was
to go into the convention with the other
republicans and depend on their hon
esty. Colonel jerks said there was
nothing to longer divide the two fac
tions and he was ready to support any
republican.
Chairman Gallagher then ruled the
motion out of order and a substitute
was offered that the silver republicans
participate in the caucuses primaries
and convention of the republicans and
