Best Time 10 Move Bees.

Tho best time to move bees Is in the
early winter before the weather has
been cold enough to make the combs
brittle, so that they will break in han
ding. or in a warm day aear the spring
before the bees begin to fly out. Thus
it follows that one who buys bees
should have those times to move them.
If they are moved in the summer, the
combs are liable to melt down, and IL
in the honey season unless taken sew
eral miles the old bees are likely to re-
turn to the old location when they take
their first flight. The closing of the
entrance is best done with wire net
ting which allows of ventilation. Move
with as little jar or shaking OF the
hive as possible.

Keeping Beets.

Table beets to keep well should be
kept cool and moderately moist. They
will stand hard frosts without mate
rial damage. but should not freeze.
They may be left in the ground as late
as possible and the danger of over
growth and cracking open will permit.
They can be pitted out of doors nicely
in dry elevations in piles two to four
feet high or about three feet wide and
high and as long as liked, same as po-
tatoes. To keep in the cellar it should
be cool. and they can be placed in tiers,
barrels, etc. or in piles on the floor and
cover with sand TO keep in moisture,
rs they tend to dry out and shrivel.

NO MONEY FOR
EXPOSlTIONS
Some Appropriations Which We're
Agreed to Fail to::Appear
in Bill.

Representative Emmeluth cannot I'M
derstand how two items in which ne
was much interested are not in the APP
preparation bill. they having been pass
ed in the House after some discussion.
The items which cannot be found in
the drafts of the measure as 1t went
through the hands of the Acting Gov
ernor, are those which provide for the
representation Of Hawaii at the EXPOSE
tons of 1902 and 1903, the first named
at Charleston, S. c., and the second at
st. Louis, Mo.
The item of appropriation for the
Charleston fair, which will be known
as the Insular and West Indian Expo
sition, contemplated only the sending
of the educational exhibit, which is
now at Buffalo to South Carolina For
this purpose the sum Of 81, 900 was pro-
yided, although the agent Of the expoS1-
ton worked hard to secure a larger
amount. For the TRANSIT Mississippi, or
Louisiana Purchase, Exposition, which
will be held in st. Louis, the demand
was greater and Emmeluth managed to
get through the House a provision
which gave $4,000 for the purpose Of
preparing and maintaining an exhibit
there. This fair will be one of the
greatest in the country, the outlook be-
ing that 1t will surpass that of Buffalo
The United States has given literally
to it, and the people Of the entire West
are determined to make 1t a remarkable
success.
The amendments cannot be located,
according to Emmeluth, and why they
were misplaced is a question. Their
absence was not noted until the bills
were printed, as there was so much on
hand that no one compared the bills
with all the amendments offered
though the later comparisons, after the
Conference Committee had done it's
work. were carefully done.

confused before he had concluded his
testimony. He is the husband of the
plaintiff and said he had been offered diff
ferent sums of money for the land in
question, but could not sell without the
consent of Mr.. Castle who held mort
cages covering all the property. He said
that after the land had been sold he
was shown the mortgage given by Achi
and refused it, saying it was no good,
because it contained neither his name
nor that of his wife. He told of de-
mands he had made for the $4,000 due his
wife, and of written demand he had
served on Mr.. Castle. He said he had
one offer of $50, 900 for the land, but when
pinned down by the defendant said he
could not remember the name of the
man who had made the offer. Lorrin
Andrews, attorney for plaintiff, also
told of a demand made upon defendant
for the money, when he was told that
the 5000 had been invested and could
not be paid at the time.
The evidence for plaintiff was closed
last evening and the defendant will have
a turn this morning. His evidence will
be a general denial of the statements
attributed to him by the plaintiff and
an account of his transactions with her.

| the company would have to write it off
the books, and kiss it and say goodbye.
He commended that it was a more Just
claim than the S11,G00 which was put in
for the purpose of paying some matters
which had not even been sent to the
Departments.
Senator Baldwin said there was no
reason why the company could not
again come to the Legislature with the
claim and again and again for the pur-
pose of securing recognition. There
could be no objection to this course,
and he said that he would favor the
motion of Senator Brown, as he thought
the Legislature was ready to adjourn
and with quorum should do so.
When the roll was called there was
not even the vote Of Carter against it,
but Achi and Crabbe were undecided
and it took some explanations to get
their votes around SO that the bill was
put through.
All the property of the Senate was
put into the custody Of the clerk to
hold for the next session and then a
recess was had until the afternoon at
2:30 o'clock.
In the House there had been nothing
on the amendments to the bill was I'M
der consideration. When the business
session was taken up Prendergast tried
to get in a resolution to have the ad-
journment at II o'clock noon today, but
he could not get hearing. Then a
committee Of three was provided to
call on the Governor and notify him
that the Legislature had completed it's
work. In the meantime there was de-
veloped slight squabble over some
clauses which were left out Of the ap-
preparation bills, in the copying. One
of these was pet bill Of Beckley,
which provides a subsidy for ship
line, and the words ito and return
had been put in at his suggestion. But
In the bill as signed there were no such
words. Other minor words were out
and the clerk was directed to notify the
Governor what was desired in the mat
ter, so that the heads of the executive
departments could have this done. Aft
er this agreement there was a recess
until o'clock in the aftRnoon
The Senate did not tarry long after
they had received the report that the
Governor had nothing for the Legisla-
ture to consider. There were no
speeches. OF congratulation, even the
President of the body being allowed to
leave the chair without a word of
thanks or appreciation. Final adjourn
ment was had before O'clock.
In the House the first thing was the
reading of the brief message from Dir.
Cooper, saying the bill had been
signed and that he had no further COM
munications to make. Beckley moved
to adjourn at once but there was
counter-move from those who thought
that the proprietor was the man to pay
this kind of thing. They wanted to
stay until today, but there was no con-
sideration of the resolution. Then
there was a slow count and the result
of the hands was seen to be seven to
two. At the afternoon session there
