SQUATTH SOVEREIGNTY
i DISCUSSED IN H|[0

Hilo. June 27.-The question Of
squatter sovereignty seems to be on
the verge Of settlement in the District
Court. Jean Riis, clerk in the land
Office, was the purchaser at the land
sale last September of one of the lots
upon which J. Ryan. the leader In the
squatter movement, had located and
built house After tue sale Mr.. Riis
called on Mr. Ryan and exchanged
felicitous greetings, the latter, how
ever, sticking to the theory that the
Territorial Government had no right
to dispose OF the lands. except under
the terms and conditions of the United
States land laws, which, by the way.
Mr.. Ryan has at Is fingers end. Re.
Gently Mr.. Riis made a contract with
some Japanese to clear his land pre-
paratory to planting cane. The men
worked for q month or more according
to Mr.. Riis' information, and then
there was pause. He learned that Mr.
Ryan had driven them of the particu.
lar spot where they were at work.
About ten days ago Mr.. Riis again
made a visit to Mr.. Ryan and tried to
deal with him on the purchase OF his
house, built by him on the quarry
reservation. The offer was refused and
then the question OF japanese laborers
came up and Mr.. Ryan admitted that he
had put the men of and would continue
to do so unless they confined their
work to the rear OF the fifty acre lot.
Mr.. Riis then intimated that the mat.
ter had better De left for settlement by
the court, to which Mr.. Ryan acquiesc-
ed with the remark that he was ready
to fight 1t out in any way that war
agreeable.
Mr.. iris, believing that he had just
claim to the lot, and finding that Mr..
Ryan had burned underbrush which IL
was intended to leave as a fertilizer,
swore out warrant for Mr. Ryan's ar
rest. He was taken into custody on
Saturday last and brought to Hilo. AZ
the Sheriff's office an offer was made
to release him on $3.50 bond, but he de-
cllned, and spent the time between
Saturday evening and Monday morning
In Jail. During the trial Sheriff An
drews prosecuted and Mr.. Ryan acted

Mr.. Ris was on the stand all OF
Monday and at the request of plaintiff.
| though objections were raised by the
Sheriff, he was recalled on Tuesday
and questioned as to lis residence and
occupation. A Mr.. Brown was then
called as a witness for the prosecution
and stated In answer to questions by
the Sheriff that he was present with
Mr.. Riis when Ryan admitted having
put the Japanese of the place and that
ne would do so again.
Ryan went on the stand before noon
and remained until adjournment a,
4:20 p. M, saying before leaving the
stand that he was ready to be cross
examined. Tuesday morning he said
he had more direct evidence and asked
to go on the stand again. In the mids,

THE MINSTRELS.

A good sized audience witnessed the
performance of the "Band Minstrels"
at the Peoples Theatre last Thursday
night. The entertainment was given
by home talent, assisted by several
clever artists from Atlanta. Most of
the jokes were new to the audience and
were we'll received. The songs were
late and each number was we'll rem
dered. The speciality introduced by
Messrs. Elliott and Robinson, of At
lanta, was the hit of the show Miss
Lucy's Lawn Party" by the entire
company, was an amusing after-piece.
Mr.. Cliff Mayson, of Atlanta, was mana
ger of the show, and to him is due
the credit for the splendid manner in
which each performer acquitted him

gram. TWAS a representative audience
and everybody was well pleased.
The show was given for the benefit of

The accident on the Atlanta Knox
Vile and Northern Railroad Tuesday
night of last week, just south of the
double trestle" across Sixty-one
creek, one mile north of Ellijay, in
which Engineer Ben Smith, formerly
of this place, met his death, was caused
by some miscreant driving a spike on
the outside rail on a curve which caus-
ed the engine to leave the track and
roll down a steep embsnkment, turn
ing completely over and stopped stand
ing upright in the wagon road along
side the track.
Engineer Smith when found was lying
on the upper side of his engine, between
it and the track, with one hand on a
driving wheel and with his neck dislo-
Gated and one arm and one leg broken.
The fireman and colored brakeman,
who was assisting the fireman, received
injuries of slight nature, and their
escape from death seems miraculous.
The officials of the railroad are max
ing every effort to locate the perpetra-
tors of this diabolical deed, and have
offered reward of $500 for the arrest
and conviction of the guilty parties.

SENATOR CLAY A CANDIDATE.

The campaign has been enlivened by
the receipt of letters from Senator CLAW
announcing his candidacy for re-elec-
ton to the United State senate. Thus
far no opposition has developed and the
field does not seem promising for an
outsider at this time. Of course the
campaign is young and nobody knows
what may happen, but at this distance
itlooks as if Senator Clay was pretty
safe from serious interference.
Senator Clay has made an excellent
record in the upper house. Five years
ago when he was elected to that posi-
ton there we're many to exclaim that
his age and ineXperience were against
him. They seemed to doubt whether
he would be able to sustain himself
without any previous training in nation
al affairs. These predictions have not
been fulfilled. Mr.. Clay has taken a
strong stand in the senate. His posi-
ton as an opponent to the Hanna ship
subsidy bill marked him as a man of
influence and ability. He mastered the
subject of American shipping and his
speech against the administration
measure went far toward defeating it,.
The senate was overwhelmingly repub-
lcan, but the determined stand of
Senator Clay and of others had the
effect of blocking the measure for the
term.
1t may be said without contradict
ton that there is no McLaurinism in
Georgia, Senator Clay has been the
powerful enemy of Imperialism as he
has of ship subsidy. These are the
issues upon which McLaurin is making
his canvass in South Carolina. Senator
Clay has planted himself squarely upon
the democratic platform, and as he has
no opposition in his own party it is
pretty certain that there will be no rep
resentative of commercial democra-
ey," to dispute his title to second
term. Georgia never has been good
field for new departures. If there is
any alleged democrat to spring up with
republican patronage and republican
principles and masquerade in the
name of democracy he has not appear
ed, and at the proper time, if he does
come out, Senator Clay will probably
be ready to meet him before the people
and discuss true democratic doctrine.

A SERIOUS RUNAWAY.

Mr.. Mills Mcneil ard Mr.. John H..
Boston, Jr., went down to Austell, IN
private conveyance last Friday on
fishing trip, driving one OF Mr.. Nc
Neel's spirited horses. On their re-
turn, about dark, when near the hill in
front of Capt Joyner's place, the horse
became frightened and began running
at a rapid rate of speed. Mr.. Nc
Neel and Mr.. Boston each took one OF
the reins and began pulling on the
horse in an attempt to check his speed.
The strain was too much on the bit in
the horses mouth, and the bit snapped ,
leaving the occupants at the mercy OF
the flying horse. By this time the horse
had reached the curve that turns into
the Atlanta road, and in making the
turn the horse went into small ditch,
precipitating horse, buggy and occu-
pants into the ditch. Mr.. McNeel es-
capped unhurt, hut Mr.. Boston's left
shoulder bone was broken near the
Joint of the arm and otherwise badly
bruised. The horse was not hurt, but
the buggy was badly damaged. A bug
gy was telephoned for from Marietta
and Mr. Boston carried to his fathers
home on Atlanta street, where Drs.
Nolan and Reynolds gave the needed
attention. He is getting along very
nicely, and his friends trust he will
soon be himself again.

A CREAM PoWER.

The great and growing uses and ap- plications of electricity to all purposes where power is required has had one effect which was perhaps not anticipated, and that is the development of water powers. When steam began to be the great power producer of the world the utilization of water for that purpose be- ban to fall off, and there were those who predicted that the time was rapidly approaching when the old song of listen to the water mill" would lose its mean ing and the water-wheel would become almost as great a curiosity as a whip saw. -:a.:-. .-:
 But these prophets had not taken into consideration the potentialities of cleo tricity or it's wide range of application as d motive power. Nor would they. perhaps, have thought of the intimate relations which would eventually exist between water and lightning. Now how ever, the mechanics and the scientists are becoming aware of the fact that cleo tricity is nearer the ideal power than anything else that has been discovered or applied It is under more perfect control yields more certain results, is more portable, and will eventually be the most economical power that man has ever used.
 And with this conviction there is fast being allied the other certainty that pro- duclng electricity by the power of water is the cheapest method by which it can be done. Especially is this true in the mountain and hill regions of the South
 where every stream has its falls and power. Down here the water wheels can turn all the year, and. if necessary, the work goes on day and night without any cessation except that caused by the wear ing out or breaking of the machinery. Day and night winter and summer. the

ADVICE OF KEEPING POSITION.
Fit Yourself to Its Mold So as to
 Fill Every Crevice of It.

James J. Hill in Success.
 You can hold your position if you will fit yourself to its mold so as to fill every crevice. Be like cake. At first it is soft, spongy dough, and Is poured into mold which it but half fills. As 1t bakes it rises, and crowds every dent in the mold. Not contented, 1t bulges over the top; it makes a cake larger than the mold will hold. So, young man and young woman. be larger than your mold. Af- ter you have filled every crease and crew ice of your position to advantage, work out at the top. It is the largest cake that brings the most money.
 Always keep your promise. Your em- ployer will never ask you to do more than is possible. Remember that an un- filled promise Is as bad as a downright untruth. Live within your means. Never let a month pass that you do not put something in the bank. Saving is the first great basic principle in the foundation of success. Dress neatly and plainly, for an employer marks a man as fool who appares himself with extravaganza and glarng colOrs. Never try to win the ia vor of your employer by slandering your fellow workers. Sander always sticks. Show kindness to your fellow employees, but do not let it be forced kindness, for that deserves no thanks. Resolve slowly, and act quickly. Remember, 1t is better to be alone than in bad company; that you cannot give your employer or your self full value if you try to work after night of dissipation; that silence, like cleanliness, is akin to godlness, and that a clear conscience gives sound sleep and good digestion, and clothes one in an im- pregnable coat of mail.
