Fall Flowing.
Fan blowing should always be deep
err than spring blowing, because the
newer soil brought TO the surface in
the fall becomes disintegrated by the
agency of frost and is thereby better
prepared for crop production. Some
prefer to pillow twice, once just as soon
as possible after harvest and once in
October or November. In this case the
first blowing Is shallow and the second
somewhat deeper. In the great major
ity OF Instances early blowing of stub
bic Is most suitable in the preparation
of a soil for wheat the following year,
while few prefer late fall blowing in
preparing soil for corn One advant-
age of getting soil plowed in the fall
Is that tine spring crop may be put in
much earlier, as the soil dries ont much
more quickly. 1t is seldom profitable
to burn stubble. as most of our soils
are in need of humus. 1t is not always
practicable to pillow rolling lands in the
fall. as they are much more apt to
wash.-Iowa Homestead.

WILDER NOT ELIGIBLE
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE Is NOT
REGISTERED.
Party Has no Alternative Man Forth
coming at Present-Nomination
Might Have Forced a Campaign.

Although the Democrats met last
evening and nominated G., T. Wilder
to run for election in the Fourth Dis
trict, the party is still without a re-
preventative as c. r. Wilder, not being
a registered voter is Ineligible for cleo
tion. As with Prince Cupid, who was
away touring the globe last election
time, this makes the second time that
local politicians have bIundered in
choosing an ineligible man to run for
the legislative special election.
Mr. Wilder himself seems not to have
been aware of his position as he ex-
pressed himself prior to the meeting
as willing to undertake the unthank-
full task Of running in a Republican
stronghold. At the meeting last night
held at the headquarters on Kaahu-
manu- street the nomination of c. T.
Wilder was made unanimous by the
score of demOCratsprese mt nj answer
to the call of chairman w. II. Johnson.
l.. ID. TimmOnS secretary of the meet
ing was instructed to make collection
of the cash necessary to cover the ex-
penSe of tilling the candidates papers
Members of the committee had their
attention drawn to the On-registratI ton
Of their candidate this morning and
VIII call meeting to discuss the mat
ter No one has been spoken of to take
the place of Mr.. Wilder and il is said
that the committee does not consider
that 1t has another man available who
is sutttcientlysstrOng to make the nght.
Had Mr.. Wilder been nominated IL is
thought that 1t would have forced the
issue of a campaign and ensured the
naming of a Republican candidate and
inevitably one by the Home Rulers,
who are waiting the move of the Re
publicans before naming their own
man. The Republican appointive COM
mittee are CanVassing the town today
in an endeaVor to decide whether or not
to report favorably on the question of
putting up a candidate. The nOmlna-
tion last night changer the trend of
affairs momentarily but at present the
disposition not to choose a man for
the special election seems general
among the business men.

POLICE WILL PROSECUTE GEARS
PETS.
Warrants Also Issued for Arrest Of
the Notorious Williams Boys-Sev-
eral Charges to be Brought.

If Circuit Judge Gear proposes to
turn criminals loose on the communi-
" on the slightest prOvOCatiOn, the DO
lice department proposes to try and
protect the public by putting those re-
leased criminals behind the bars. Yes
Jerday w. Mccarthy the notorious
crimp who had bitten and abused Ka-
tie a native woman, was given his lib
/ IerJy by Gear as were Edward and
I Bob Williams negroes convicted of
burglary. This morning warrants for
the arrest of the trio We're issued bv
Judge Wilcox and officers were detail
ed to round up the trio without DELAY.
Mccarthy was convicted of mayhem
in having bitten the ear and otherwise
injured Katie. Gear decided that there
was no such thing as mayhem in the
statutes so set aside the entire pro-
ceedings. The police have now charg-
ed Mccarthy with assault and battery.
In the case of the Williams bows
they have been charged with violating
section $40 of the Penal Laws, in hav-
ing been unlawfuuy on the premises
of another at night. Edward Williams
is also TO be charged with assault with
a weapon obviously and imminently
dangerous to life on officer Alfred
MOSSman.
The Williams boys were the pair
who We're charged with having entered
the jewery store of f. A. Ward ON
Fort street some months ago and stolen
several thousand dollars worth of
goods. The police had been appraised
OF the theft and lay in wait for the
men. Bob Williams was arrested but
the other man escaped. The latter
was rounded up in Kalihi by a posse
but stood them at bay while he re-
treated. 1t was during this running
lght that he brandished an AK over the
head of officer Mossman and threaten
ed to take the life of the officer. Gear
decided that the pair had not commit
ted burglary for the reason that they
had not forcibly entered the jeweIry
store as charged, so discharged them.
lt convicted on the charge of being
unlaWfully on the premises of another
the pair can be sentenced to serve only
SIX months at hard labor which is the
limit prescribed by the statutes. Had
they not been given their liberty on
the more serious charge of burglary in
the first degree the conviction would
have called for Imprisonment at hard
labor for any number of years or life
The police have been unable to secure
trace of Bob and Edward Williams.
Up To , p. N. no trace had been found
of the pair. 1t is believed that the
friends of the men have succeeded i'm
getting them out of the country. The
negroes might have been sent away by
the Ventura yesterday and if not then
friends may be secreting them some
where on this island.
Six months is the limit which Nc
Carthy can receive on the present
charge.

MORE DEFENDANTS GET FREE
DOM ON APPEAL.
Witnesses Arrive in Court Too Late
and Judge Geag Discharges Defend-
ants for Want Of Prosecution.

Seventeen more defendants were set
at liberty this morning in the first cir
cult court. They were all men who had
been convicted in the District Court
and had taken appeals, r. NJ Brooks
appearing for them When the cases
We're called this morning the witnesses
We're not present, and Judge Gear dis
missed the cases for want Of prosecu-
tion.
The first case was that of Victor
Gum, an assault and battery case. The
witnesses against Gum are supposed
To be somewhere on the deep blue sea-
so that there was nothing for it but to
DISMISS the charge against him.
Hun Chun and other Chinese, whom
Judge Wilcox found guilty of gam
bling, fning them $40 each, were next
called up. The witnesses against them
We're not in court. Assistant Attorney
General DOuthitt stated that he could
not proceed without the witnesses, and
that he had given notice at the police
station last night, that the witnesses
would be needed at ten this morning.
Il was in court trying a case up to
nNe O'Clock last night" said Douthitt,
and l can't run round finding wit
neSseS L gave notice of the witnesses
! wanted, and come here this morning
and there is not a witness in court"
Judge Gear said that it wasn't Dout-
NIT fault, but that he would dismiss
the cases. Brooks answered ready for
the defense and objected to continu-
ance. The Chinese We're discharged.
As they left the cuortroom in high
glee, they met the prosecuting wit
nesses coming up the stairway Of the
judiciary building.
II. SintarO and other Japs, found
guilty by Wilcox of assault and bat
terry upon a Chinese and fined $40 each.
were the next defendants called up.
The procedure was the same. Through
some oversight or misunderstanding
no witnesses We're on hand, and Judge
Gear dismissed the defendants, for
want of prosecution"
In this case also, the witnesses ap-
peared just after the dismissal. They
were several Chinese, and great was
their disappointment when they met
detective David KAPPA in the hallway
and were informed by him that the
case against the Japs had been dis
missed, on account of their tardiness
in appearing.
NO other cases were ready, and Gear
adjourned to two o'clock this afternoon.
when both he and Judge Robinson took
up criminal cases.

DISCUSSED IN THE REPUBLICAN
CAUCUS.
Proposition for Reciprocal Concession
Of About Twenty Per Cent-No Final
Conclusions Reached as Yet.

WASHINGTON, February 25.-The
Republican members of the House met
in caucus this evening to consider the
question of Cuban reciprocity, the Re
publican members of the WAYS and
Means committee having reached an
agreement to grant reciprocal conCos-
sOns of about 20 per cent. About 125
Republican members were present
Representative Cannon of Illinois, was
chairman
Chairman Payne Of the Ways and
Means Committee presented a bin rec
ommending reciprocal concessions Of
at least 20 per cent, and spoke for more
than an hour i'm support of the plan.
Representative Grosvenor of Ohio ad-
vocated the committee plan as the best
means of avoiding a dilemma The
meeting continued until after IL o'clock
and as it was clear no final results
could be secured adjournment was TAX
en- until next Monday evening.
LIVERPOOL, February 25.-The
merchants here who trade with Cuba
are agitaung against the suggested
treaty of reciprocity between the Unit
ed States and Cuba, because they be
lieve such a treaty is likely to be pre-
judicial to British trade, which has
hitherto enjoyed a favored-nation trea-
ty with Cuba.

WEATHER BOUND STEAMERS DE
PART TODAY.
Mauna Loa Closely Followed by the
Lehua and Kinau was First to Leave
Harbor

The storm broke today and i'm con-
sequence, the Water Front presented
an unusually busy appearance with
the departure of the various island
boats.
The Sonoma also arrived off port
shortly after o'clock from San Fran
cisco and came to the dock a few min
utes after s o'clock. The steamer Hy-
AIDES also from San Francisco arrived
shortly after o'clock
Both the Inter-Island and Wilder
wharves presented unusually busy
scenes as the crowds of beated pas
sengers were going to board the differ
ent vessels. The Mauna Loa was the
first boat to pet away. She left a few
minutes after 3 o'clock. The Lehua
was the next away. 1t looked for a
few minutes. as if there might be a
brush between the two boats to deter
mine which would have the credit of
being the first out of the harbor. The
Mauna LOa was under way when she
passed the Wilder wharf and as the
Lehua had not quite gotten up speed,
the lnter-ISland boat led the way out
closely followed by the Lehua. A
couple of minutes after the Lehua got
away from the wharf the Kinau also
backed out to the stream and was
soon headed on her Hilo run. The
Lehua will make all of her MOlOkai and
Maui ports if possible, this trip as she
did not get away on the regular wind
ward Molokai run last Monday. The
Mauna LOa goes to Lahaina, Maalaea,
KOna and Kau ports. The Claudiue
did not get away on her Maui run as
soon as the oilers as she was delayed
about an hour on account of several
men not reporting for duty
The steamer j. A. Cummins got away
this morning for Koolau ports and the
schooner Lady also sailed for kOOlau
