l have read your last nights account
of the dog poisoning at the Junction and
have detailed an officer to Investigate.
These cases are very hard to ferret out
because the coward who poisons a dog
does it in such a way as to prevent
detection unless somebody enjoying his or
her confidence "squeals." as they say.
If you care to you may state in your
paper that / will personally guarantee a
reward of SIS to any person who will fur
nish the society with information that
viii lead to the prosecution and convic-
ito nof any person poisoning or attempt
ing to poison anW animal. The name of
the party furnishing the information will
be kept secret, and the society will prose-
cut and pay the expense of prosecution.
Very truly.

And it Was in the Office Of the
Hawaiian Hotel.
Illustrating that THE Best Laid Plans of
Mice and Men Aft Garg
Agile"

A dramatic incident happened yes
terday afternoon at the Hawaiian HO-
tel In it figured prominently piles of
flashing, glittering gold and important
looking documents, to which we'll
known street-car magnate whose sole
get the signature of a certain lady. 1t
brought to the mind of the Onlooker
the scenes in the old melOdramas in
which the "villun" attempts to force
the heroine to sign certain important
papers, but is foiled by the entrance
of the hero when his design seems
about to be accomplished.
At about 8 o'clock yesterday after
| noon a hack dashed up to the rear en-
trance of the hotel. Out of it jumped
a street-car magnate whose name is
familiar to all Honolulu, and an at
tache of local bank, whose name is
not so familiar. The former carried
several bags filled with gold. The en-
bryo banker staggered under the
weight of big tray filled to the limit
| with $50 gold pieces. Up the steps and
into the vestibule of the hotel they
hurried.
Here they encountered a lady stay
| ing at the hotel. Down on the counter
| the gold was flung, and out of the mag
mates pocket flashed some mysterious
| and portentous papers. The request
for the lady's signature was made. She
eXpostulated on the ground that pub
| lie place was no place for such trans
actions. The magnate pressed his
point. In the meantime the money
changer vigilantly guarded the piles of
gold. The lady's expostulations were
| met by the eager insistence of the
"much-abused man."
But the climax was suddenly
reached A close relative of the lady
appearing on the stairway leading
from the lower floor brought it about.
In a glance he took in the whole sit
uation. The lady responded to the
beckoning of her relative and retired.
The game was lost.
The magnate gathered up his sacks
of gold, the assistant lifted his tray
of twenties. Down the stairs they
rushed, into the hack and away.

THEY GO TO HILO
Arrangements completed for the De-
parture of the Stars.

1t is an assured thing that the Stars
go to Hilo to play the picked team OF
that place for the title Of champions
of the Hawaiian Islands,
At a meeting of the Stars held yes
terday afternoon the plans were final
ly arranged. The men leave by the
Helene either next Saturday or in the
early part of next week. The players
to compose the aggregation which ex-
poets to bring back the pennant will
be:
Lennon, German, Moore, Kiley,
Jackson, Thompson, Davis, Mclean.
Willis, McNichol and Gillis and Man
ager Carter.
The men are greatly gratified over
the action of their employers in al
lowing them leave of absence. 1t was
thought for a time that the rustling
manager would not be able to go, but
this doubt afterward vanished. The
Hllo people are making elaborate ar
Honolulu athletes. Al Moore will cap
tain the honolulu players. This is the
first time the two cities have ever come
together in a baseball struggle, which
fact adds to the interest.
The Star players are requested to ap-
pear for practice tomorrow afternoon.

The plant has been imperative for

Fight for Capitol Lands.

Land Commissiner Bridges will ap-
peal from the ruling of the Vancouver
land office. regarding the right of the
department here to select $500 acres
OF land in the Vancouver land district
for the benefit of the state capital
grant, to The general land commission
er at Washington d. c.
In the year 1894 the state made lists
OF selected lands for this purpose in
this district and forwarded the same to
the Vancouver Office. These selections
the Vancouver office refuse to approve
on the ground that much of the select
ed land was claimed by settlers, where
upon new lists was prepared leaving
out all the contested lands and the Sec
ond list was thereupon approved. An
appeal was, however, taken to The
general land Office from the ruling of
the Vancouver Office on the contested
selections, which recently resulted in
IN favor of the state land department
and the state was allowed 60 DAYS
within which to prepare new list Of
the lands selected in this district
which list would be approved by the
interior department at Washington
When this new list was forwarded to
the Vancouver Office recently for an
proval, this Office not only refused to
approve the lists, but cancelled the
states selections because they were
not made within 80 days, which they
Claimed was the time allowed by the
interior department. From this rul-
ing new appeal win vt once be in
stltuted before the commissioner of
the general land Office and the papers
are now in the hands of the attorney
general for that purpose. There is no
doubt but that the state will win and
the Vancouver Office be forced to an
prove this selection of $500 acres for
the capitol building fund. Olympian.
