Just Two Bows.

Seventeen years ago on the bottoms
a mile east of Abilene were two small
boys helping their father in the strug-
gle against fate and mortgage on a
small truck farm. Fate and the mort
gage won out. Their father died and
when they were,yet lads the had their
mother and sisters to support. They
never loafed, never gave up, never
quit trying. They worked at any
thing their hands found to do, in Abb
lene and elsewhere. Finally year
or so ago they joined forces and open
ed in Emporia a meat and produce
store. Iii is unique in many ways.
Everything is as neat as paint and
scrubbing can make it, all the pro-
duce is displayed in most attractive
manner and delivered in way that
has won them the best Of that city's
trade. A notice in the Emporia paper
says they have uniformed their clerks
in red-checked frocks and caps with
the word produce" on the latter,
and have a force of carpenters at work
expanding their room. The boys are
c. S. and Lloyd Krieder-everybody
here knows them and is glad tc see
them win. There is "chance' enough

THAT RENEWED SURVEY.
Government Work Here Is Part OF q
Great Plan.

Great Plan.
The government survey begun in
this county in the past few days and
to be carried now to completion forms
part Of = general scheme which Is
ultimately to cover the entire coun'
try. The two main lines OF this
great project will be- one on the ostn
parallel, and the other on the 9oth
meridian. Both ofthese pass through
Kansas and the work of triangulatlon
will be supplemented by the deter
mination of heights and other points
in the vicinity by trigonometric
methods. Levels have already been
run from Sandy Hook on the Atlantic
to points in Kansas, as well as from
the Cult Of Mexico. All this work
will be Of great benefit to the states
through which i. passes as 1t Will
furnish them fundamental points on
which all later surveys may be ac'
curately based. The elevation OF
different points within the state will
also be known by connection with
the government standard levels on
these lines. The work along the 9Sth
meridian has been carried on as a
reconnaissance from Austin, Texas, to
the vicinity of Fl Reno, Oklahoma.
As triangulation it has been carried
from a point on the seth parallel OF
latitude at a point in this county
northward into the state OF Nebraska
The reconnaissance has also been car
ried even beyond this. Parties are
now in the field and more will be sent
during the course of the summer IL
is the intention soon to continue the
reconnaissance from Austin, Texas,
south to the Rio Grande, and also to
prolong the line from Nebraska to the
4sth parallel of latitude that is to
the boundary between the British
possession and the United States.
This will give long meridian arc
the longest yet measured inthelUnited
States, which will be of great value
in determining the size and shape OF
the earth. The triangulation on the
9sth meridian traverses Kansas over
belt of approximately 80 miles in
width.
Henry s. Pritchard, superintendent
of the United States survey, writes
"The benefit accruing from this
work will be that the state authorities
at some future time will be able to
make complete trigonometrlc sur
vey of its domain, and will be able to
base such surveys on the accurate
positions furnished by the United
States government through these two
arcs already specified, Kansas being
trayersed in both directions, first by
the great transcontinental chain ex'
tending from Cape May on the east
to San Francisco on the west and
second by the sSth meridian running
north and south, will be benefited
more than any of her sister states
living as she does very near the center
Of the area of the country"

The Dolean Hybrid Oath.

This morning Mr.. Wray Taylor
distributed the forms Of the new
oath to the clerk OF the Supreme
Court and the District Magistrates.
The first to take the oath before Mr..
Henry Smith was a member of The
INDEPENDENT staff who had already
registered as a voter. He immedi-
ately proceeded to the Board of
Registration, produced his cert'fi-
cate of having taken the oath and
requested to be re.registered if
necessary. The Board held that as
the applicant had already been duly
registered in accordance with the
Constitution and laws OF Hawaii no
re-registration was necessary, aud a
note Of such application aud refusal
was made on the minutes of the
Board.
A few minutes after this action a
native Hawaiian, who had, upon a
previous occasion, taken the oath Of
allegiance 10 the Republic of Ha-
waii, was duly registered without be-
ing requested to take the new-fan-
gled Dolean Oath.
The Board leaves it to be sur
missed, without so expressing by SO
stating that they will cross the
bridge before reaching the stream
that they will not require the new
oath unless the applicant for regis
tration has not already taken the
oath OF allegiance to the Republic
of Hawaii.
At lilo this forenoon the total
registrations had reached 70 out of
3737 eligibles, OF 2500 are Hawai-
ans and 1900 foreigners.

A HOT TIME.
A New Lawyer After the Marshars
Scalp.


There was hot time in the old
town this morning, when Mr.. Nc
Cants Stewart, the well-known at
torney. at-law and Marshall Brown
disagreed. According to the state
ment made to the District Magis-
trate, the Marshall had agreed to
enter nolle prosequi in the case of
the Republic vs. Desky, the proprie-
tor Of the Orpheum theatre, who is
charged with violating the license
laws, which provide for a fee of
$500 for each theatrical perform
ance given in public place.
Mr.. Desky desires to test the con-
stitutionalitv of the law which all
agree is unreasonable and absurd,
and Mr.. Stewart claims that there
was stipulation between him and
the Marshal to the effect that no
proceedings against Mr.. Desky
would be instituted till hearing in
the Supreme Court could be heard.
This morning Mr.. Stewart called
at the MarshaPs Office, when the
official was otherwise engaged. The
Marshal told him that he was busy,
aud also that he was unable to drop
the Desky matter altogether. Ac-
cording to the lawyer hot words
were exchanged and the learned
gentleman was actually assisted"
out of the Marshals Office, and he
now claims that he will have the
chief of our noble force arrested by
Minister Cooper on charge of as
sault and battery.
In explaining his part OF his story
to Judge Wilcox, who listened
to him with great patience,
he used rather strong language in
describing the conduct of the Mar
shall, and at one moment the prose
cutting officer very nearly got "tan
gled up" with the irate lawyer, but
the calm Magistrate threw cold
water on the belligerents, before
any damage was done.
Marshal Brown is as cool and col
lected an official as any govern
ment can desire in its employment
although sorely tried and even sin
vited" to lose his temper he simply
allowed Mr.. Stewart to have the
floor and in few words asked the
Court to grant postponement in
the Desky case until Thursday next
or proceed with the case there and
then.
The case was continued until thu
day suggested by Marshal Brown
and it is understood that Mr.. Desk.
will, in the future, be represented
by other counsel
Marshal Brown may not be
shining light of virtue, he may occa
sionally have an inclination to exhi
bit swelled head, but every attoI
ney or officer of the Court or privat
citizen must always admit that h
is perfect gentleman, officially AM
privately, Mr. McCants Stewart t
the contrary, notwithstanding.

OUR HILo LETTER.
Sugar Plantations Usurping Coffee
Lands.-An Eruption at the Vol
cano Expected.

Sugar Plantations Usurplng Coffee
Lands.-An Eruption at the Vol
cano Expected.
The Honolulu Syndicate which
was represented by Thurston and
Carter has acquired possession OF
considerable tract OF land in Oaa
which will shortly be planted in
sugar -csne.- The Shipman property
in Puma is also undergoing similar
change. In few months, therefore,
there will be many thousands OF
acres OF sugar-cane growing beyond
the Waiakea Plantation on the Vol
cano road and down towards the
sea shore in Puma. These new sugar
plantations will take in great deal
of coffee lands for some OF the coffee
planters have sold out, or accepted
options on their lands, to the sugar
syndicate. Whether this is wise
move or not is matter Of opinion,
it is, however, regarded by many
coffee planters as mistake. The
coffee trees are now bearing and as
year after year goes by larger crop
comes, and the planter who has
waited so long and so patiently for
his coffee to increase his income in
stead OF being a drain upon it, is
now about to reap the reward Tor
his patience and industry. But he
is impatient-the coffee does not
come quickly enough-so he sells
out to the first conner for a sum of
money which is little more than the
land has already cost him fer clean
ing aud cultivatipg. 1t is to be- hop
ed he will not regret his action, for
many say, "coffee is good enough
for me-"
Manager Glaze of the Hilo Hotel
has opened grill room for the ben
eft of those who, on band concert
nights (Thursday), desire high re-
fresh ment. L. is the first attempt
of grill room in the country and is
thoroughly satisfactory. On the
opening night rain fell very plenti-
fully so the guests were few, but last
many people took the opportunity
of enjoying what the manager has
provided. The hotel is crowded
with guests this week and all speak
in favorable terms of the improve
ments since W. @. Peacock g. Co.
took over the hotel aud appointed
Mr. Glaze as manager.
On Monday last very sad acc-
dent occurred which resulted in the
death of a Portuguese laborer. For
over sixteen years he had been em
ployed on the Waiakea Plantation,
but at the end of last month the
unfortunate left the plantation and
sought work in Hilo. He had been
but few days at work when he was
killed by blow in the chest from
crowbar which he was using to
start some machinery.
There are many visitors at the
Volcano House, and all speak in the
highest praise of the kindness a
courtesy OF the manager, Fred
Waldron. Reports reach Hilo that
the floor of the crater is very hot
and an eruption may at any moment
take place.
