4 CIVIL ENGINEER
WANTED.

Copyright, 1901, by c. B. Lewis. =


One morning in my bachelor apart
ments in London l read the following
advertisement in my newspaper:
"The undersigned desires the services
of Il competent civil engineer for sew
eral days in Il rather strange enterprise
and promises a most liberal reward.
He must be man who can keep a
secret Address -"
was a competent civil engineer and
just then out of employment. I was a
man who could keep a secret. l was
therefore naturally interested in the
advertisement. 1t might possibly be
some job which would get me into
trouble with the law. but if so l had
only to decline to take hold of it after
an interview. | was inclined to be
lieve that some land or mine owner
wanted a private and secret survey
made for his own satisfaction, as is
often the case. 1t is sometimes the
case that where two neighbors quarrel
one of them builds house or barn on
what he believes to be his line, but
which is found to trespass by a few
inches. l could see a dozen good rea-
sons why the person should advertise
as he did, ard l FASTENED to answer
him and post the letter. He gave his

At SEA.

Oh, we 90 down to sea in ships,
But Hope remains behind,
and Love, with laughter on his lips,
And Peace, Of passive mind,
While out across the deeps OF night,
With lifted sails Of prayer,
We voyage OF in quest Of light
Nor find it anywhere.
thou who wroughtest earth and sea,
Yet keepest from our eyes
The shores of an eternity
In calms Of paradise,
Blow back upon our foolish quest
With all the driving rain
OF binding tears and wild unrest
And wait Us hosne again.

\ lions in force after the date of
the first alleged bubonic plague
case made its appearance in the
city of Honolulu up to the pres
ent date be and the same is here
by rescinded.
But after some little discussion the
resolution was tabled to be considered
with House bill 20.
Makainai's bill for the maintenance
of highways was introduced. as also
was resolution by Makekau for an
appropriation of 100000 for the same
objec. in the Hamakua district. The
resolution was referred to the Com
mittee on Finance
Monsarrat asked some pertinent
questions of the Superintendent CT
Public Works in relation to the use
of some of the road appropriations in
Hawaii. The clerk was directed to
PROFOUND the questions.
A lot of dreary legislation was Their
dragged through and Dickey's Storm
bill came up for third reading. Some
half-dozen amendments were offered
but when the dust had settled the bill
had passed along until today with E
minute rider in the shape OF an ap-
preparation of $1,000 for repairing the
Pail road into the leper settlement at
Molokai
Emmeluth reproved Dickey for his
playing the elusive game of politics
in the former handling of the bill
but Dickey was insistent and tried
Loyalty to get his portion of the ap
preparation increased. Robertson
gave the different amendments the
Anal blow by moving that SCI 900 be
added TO the bill for the damage BY
the storm in the Island of Oahu. This
put the kbosh on the whole proceed
ing and the House refused by unani-
nous vote TO hear further from the
Maui statesman.
Robertson's four bills concerning
the Circuit Court and its jurisdiction
were read for third time and passed
House bill No. 2. the Anti-vaccina-
tioE bin. passed second reading and
will be taken up today.
Then came the County bill- with
concurrent resolution looking TO
similar action with regard TO this bill
in the upper House
Four bills from the versatile pen of
Dickey passed their second reading.
The bills deal with the criminal juris-
diction OF District Magistrates N
various matters and some changes in
the existing civil practice before
such magistrates. There was also
whole grlst OF minor bills.
The long session closed with the
reading of two communications from
the Superintendent of Public Works
in reply TO queries from the House.
He stated that q certain appropria-
ton of $500 which had been made
some time ago for the extension OF q |
wharf AZ Keauhou, North Kona. was
not sufficient to complete the work |
md that il had never been drawn |

Besiues the County bill there was
only one other interesting feature
during the session. This came about
when the revised report of the FL
rance Committee on the matter of the
claim of II. NJ. Dow. who insists that
Ne kept his books In the Police De-
Pzrtment so badly that he overpaid
ths treasurer in the sum OF S440 dur
ting February. 1899.
The first report Of the claim was
treated with consideration by the
House hut during the investigations
Of the matter by Mr.. Dickey. the men,
Der ran across two other errors in
Dew's accounts which set the com
mittee thinking. Hihio. who in pri-
xate life is a preacher. did not ap-
prove OF the claim in view Of the fact
that Dow had made so many errors
and turned in a minority report
against appropriating the money. All
this took place several days ago and
IN all probability the facts would new
ar have raised such a row II the Fl
nance Committee had not made a ridi-
culous error in the report to the
House. The result was that the re-
port was sent back 10 the committee
for revision and the next day The Re
Fabiican commented upon both the
bookkeeping OF Dow and the error in
the report.
Yesterday Emmeluth presented the
corrected report and il WAS met with
4 storm Of protest from his colleagues
NAkekau believed that Dow was such
n bad clerk that he should be ousted
from his fat Office. But as com.
promise measure the House adopted
the minority report OF Hihio and thus
securely shelved the claim of Mr..
Dow.
The House convened al 9 o'clock
and IL was business day all day.
Dickey started by introducing his I.
-Disorderly House bill"

Then the House thought there would /

HIS LIFE IN DANGER
Nameless Ottumwan Tries to Kill
Bloomfield Man.
STARTED In A SALOON ROW HERE
Makes Two Visits to the Capital of
Davis County for the Avowed Pur-
pose of Taking the Life of the
Bloomfield Citizen.

Bloomfield, Aug GA little mild
excitement prevailed among the city
authorities on Sunday evening when
an Ottumwa man, whose name is for
the present withheld, made a second
visit to this place for the avowed pur-
pose of taking the life of one of our
citizens, G. w. Goodpastor, with whom
the man was engaged in saloon row
in Ottumwa a short time ago. Good
pastor states that the man followed
him here Immediately after the quar-
rel and knocked at his door late at
night intending to shoot him. Good
pastor opened the door, but catching
glimpse of his pursuer managed to
slam the door shut before the shot
was fired. The marshall was at once
summoned but the man escaped. Sun
day night, however, he re-appeared and
again threatened the life of the haunt
ed man, following him about armed
with club. The city marshal, Frank
Rominger, being notified started in
pursuit OF the would-be murderer and
meeting him on thes treet attempted
his arrest. The man took to his heels
and the marshal being unable to over
take him fired three shots which failed
to reach the appointed destination and
again the man made good his escape.
