Hymn 120 In Kansas.

The Kansas minister of a very
poor congregation accepted the offer
of a patent medicine company to
provide his people with hymn books,
provided the covers of the books
were not covered with ads. The
books came according to agreement
and on Sunday, with many thankful
remarks, the minister selected hymn
120 to be sung, and this is what he
heard:
"Hark, the heavenly angels sing,
Johnson's pills are just the thing
The angelic voice, meek and mild,
Two for men and one for child"

HANNA QUITS TRYING.
Says He Will Make No Further Efforts to En-,
Coal Strike-Appeal to Roosevelt.

Buffalo, N. Y, August 2.-United
States Senator Hanna was in Buffalo
to-day on his way home from Niagara
Falls. For the first time he stated his
abandonment finally of all efforts to end
the coal strike. He believes that the
operators should meet the miners in
arbitration. 81 have exhausted my
Efforts" said Senator Hanna! II have
done all in my power and can do no more.
! l will make no further attempts, for it
would be useless" He said there was
no chance of arbitration 80 long as only
one side, the miners, was willing to arbi-
trate. He gave it as his opinion that the
miners will not give in so long as they
are able to fight.
"It will not be short fight" said he
''It will be prolonged, and its prolonga-
tion will mean not only hardships for the
miners and the women and children de-
pendent on them, but it will have it's
effect on the American people. The
longer this struggle continues the greater
will be the increase in the price of coal"
He said he considered the refusal of the
operators to arbitrate as final. "I talked
with Mr.. Morgan before he went to
Europe" continued the Senator, land
before the strike was fully under way.
He deplorcd the situation, but would take
no active part toward a settlement. His
attitude, in my opinion, is unchanged"
Petition the President.
New York, August "a. - President
Roosevelt will be asked to call special

mass meeting under the auspices of the
labor unions of New York city and vicin-
ity will be held, at which resolutions will
be adopted urging President Roosevelt
to Immediately call Congress to meet and

Thousands OF Acres in Corn.

''They cultivate corn on a big scale
on the Carpenter & Sanborn ranch.,7
said Mitchell travelling man who
made trip out to Pukwana last
week. The ranch is located right
up to the town site, and it is a gi-
gantlc farm, SO far as we see farming
in this section. Mr.. Sanborn told
me that he would have about COG
acres of corn under cultivation this
season, a portion of which will be,
devoted to sorghum. and no wheat
will be sown. The ranch owners
have adopted the system of putting
IN their corn with the lister, which
they consider the best method for
thls cereal. Last week they put six
or these machines to work and if
that is not sufficient to get in all the
corn they figure on they will start
two more this week. 1t is calcu-
lated that each lister will plant about
eight acres a day. Mr.. Sanborn told
me that If the corn crop proved a
successful one that he would fatten
600 head OF steers for the Chicago
market this fall and winter, and
when cOrnfed cattle from South Dako-
ia reach that market there is always
scramble to secure the bunch, as
they are always at the top of the
market"

LEFT
MEAT BEHIND
Shipment Stopped by Breakdown
OF the Cold Storage
Plant.

With but a light cargo and only
forty-one passengers the Oceanic liner
Alameda, Captain Herman, arrived
off the harbor at $50 a. m. Sunday, but
had to wait until 7:15 before the doctor
put in an appearance and it lacked but
five minutes to eight when she got
alongside the wharf. The Alameda is
always expected to bring two things
that are eagerly awaited in Honolulu
the mails and a consignment of meat
but on this trip she only brought the
mails and unioaded the meat after it
San Francisco. The Alameda left San
Francisco on the morning of July IA
and came down in very good time.
Many people WILDE asking about the
meat and how it was left behind. When
the Alameda was repaired new Vul-
can Iron Works cold storage plant was
placed in her. This was about COM
pleted just before her departure so the
usual consignment of meat was placed
in the vessel. Then it was found that
the cold storage plant would not work
so the meat had to be bundled ashore
again. Manufactured ice was brought
aboard to keep the small amount of
meat it was necessary to have to pro-
vision the ship. On the way, however,
the ships company fixed up the cold
storage plant so that it would work.
While in dock in San Francisco the
main shaft of the Alameda was lined
up and a new compressed fluid steel
shaft was put in. They also Jagged her
stern tube with lignum vitae.
The Alameda's passenger list was a
small one but there was plenty of fun
aboard during the voyage. Among fhe
passengers were Mr.. and Mrs. Silliman

THE OWNERSHIP
OF MARCUS ISLAND
Doubtful If the United States
Would Contest it With
Japan.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-In regard
to the report that international compli-
cations may ensue between the United
States and Japan as the result OF TIE
Japanese taking possession of Marcus
Island. small guano island about 5000
miles west of Honolulu. and which is
land is claimed by Captain A. A. Rose
hill, an American citizen, an inspection
of the Government records of what are
known as guano island entries discloses
the fact that in 1889 Captain Rosehil
lodged notice of the discovery by him
of Marcus Island. in the Western Pa
cific, and claimed the right to exploit it
for guano.
The State Department is not re-
quired by the law governing guano
island entries to pass upon the sufii-
cheney of any such claim as that made
by Captain Rosebill. The department
simply receives such notice for the
purpose of record. Another section Of
the law requires the claimant to a
guano island to take out a bond, the
purpose of which is to see that he does
not charge an exorbitant price for the
guano; that the island claimed by him
does not belong to any other country
and he will vacate when he has taken
away the guano. There is no such
thing as a fee simple title for the is
land; the Government merely affirms
the right of the claimant to take the
guano. Recently Captain Rosehill filed
the necessary bond in the Treasury.
The law requires proclamation to
be issued announcing to the world the
location of the guano plain, but this has
not been done in Captain Rosehill'S
case, nor. in fact, has any such procla-
nation ever been issued since the adj
ministration of Hamilton Fish in the
State Department.
1t is the general opinion that these
guano titles are of extremely doubtful
force, and ii is the further opinion that
it is absolutely necessary to maintain
title that the island should be continu-
ously occupied and mined for guano by
the claimant, which does not appear to |
have been the case with Marcus Island. |
if the Japanese are working |
the island as reported, ii is improbable |
that the United States Government will |
interfere.
