THE ISLANDOF GUAM
BY II. II. HIATT.


II, 19O2.-REUBLIcAN-The sun
is now little north of the Zenith
at noon, and the hottest of the
year is at hand. The weather
is quite dry and breezy. We do
not notice the heat and even
doubt that it can be as hot as
last September when we came
here. School is closed for one
month, and my wife and l are
taking all kinds of trips to re-
cooperate for the next term. /
can't see but that we are as
healthful as the natives and
stand the climate just as well.
| When Americans have colds and
coughs so do the natives. This
is busy day with the natives,
for a small kind of fish has Just
appeared by the millions inside
the reefs. Nearly every Chamor-
70 women was out in the Ocean
long before d9ybreak with nets
and came back at noon loaded
with fish. These little fish come
Regularly each year at this time
and remain for three months.
They are about two inches long
and are fried and eaten without
any cleaning, which is quite an
object with these natives. On
the terrace between our house
and kitchen we have started vines
and flowers, as balsams, morning
glories, horn flowers are in full
bloom and remain so all the year.
Frederick palms are most beauti-
full and plenty everywhere. The
coffee plant is beautiful and in
full bloom and looks not very I'M
like the choke cherry bush. In
no place, can a home be more
delightfully."- ornanented with
flowers, ferns and shrubbery. /
still think that this imam hated"
island has no serious faults, that
the American Agriculturist
can not overcome. Cotton,
coffee, Cocoa nuts, oranges,
lemons, bananas, etc. will do
we'll on the rocky land and sugar
cane, corn, sweet potatoes, pump
kins, squashes, melons, tobacco,
etc. do we'll on the best land.
These things will grow all the
year. The dry season is not to
dry to produce abundantly if the
soil were properly titled. Custer
county would grow SO bushels
of corn to the acre with such dry
weather. / do not believe a
colony of twenty good American
farmers would be lonesome here
after they became acclimated.
| think anyone could do quite a
reasonable days work now, each,
day. This must be a helthy
place for chickens for every
where we have gone we find them
in the brush. How the rightful
owner of these chickens is known
is puzzel. The Iguanas, rats
and cats are the only enemies to
chickens, and these might easily
be destroyed. Harmless snakes,
toads, anteaters, quails, birds
ought to be sent here to destroy
insects. The ants are our worst
pest. They are small but every
where. The other night | awoke
with sense of raging prick
ley heat" | was sure of an
attack of fever, but it was found
to be the festive ants. They had
come not only to share my board,
but also my bed. They instinct
lively try to carry off anything
they like and after sampling me
they seemed to be trying to pull
me out of bed. KEROSENE is our
refuge from ants.

ing the report to Congress of the

w. H. Thompson, the fusion
candidate denies being a rail
road attorney and says that she
has never been at any time en-
gagged by any railroad corpora
ton directly or indirectly as at
torney or otherwise and never
received one cent of fees" A
man fifty years old who has been
engaged exclusively in the prac-
tice of law all his business life
in the vicinity of rail roads
must be below the average if he
in all his practice has not been
able to get one case from a rail
road corporation. We had given
Mr.. Thompson credit of being
better lawyer than he makes
himself out to be. 1t is no dis
credit to ]. H, Mackey because
he has never been employed by
the railroad corporations as he
is not lawyer. 1t is still safe
to vote for Mickey if you want
a man of the people for governor.

Jesse Candy, who is now re-
garded first in democratic known
ledge, is authority for the state
ment that there are two Harring-
tons in the Sixth congressional
district that had been regarded
as good congressional timber for
the fusion nomination, and that
the one who figured so conspic-
uously in the Grand Island con-
convention and succeeded in de-
llvering the pop party over to the
democrats is not the Harrington
who was nominated by the dem
ocratic convention at Kearney
and rejected by the pop wing.
AS Jess should be we'll posted,
and no doubt is on the demo-
pops or popodems of the district,
we stand corrected. Now if we
could have some pop vouch for
there being two Jesse Gandy's,
we would have no farther trouble
in solving the apparent inconsis-
tency of him being pop today
and a democrat tomorrow.

suit.

At 5 O'Clock last night a Jury in Judge
slabaugh's court found for the defendant
and hxed the amount OF recovery at $3.50 in
the case Of George Nelson against o
Negley. police judge Of Florence, and A.
Fenkenkeler and James Brennan, his sure
ties. and also against MiehG Daily. city
marshal, and J. s. Paul and Frank Rey-
nolds, his sureties.
The suit was for false Imprisonment and
the amount asked was 1900. The verdict
is accepted by the defendants as a dis
-couragement Of justice, as they were merely
discharging their duties according 10 their
lights, they say. and with no malice.
In this petition Nelson averred that Neg
ley had him arrested BY Daily in Novem-
Der Of last year and kept him In Jail with
out cause for forty hours, at the end OF
which time he secured his release by ha-
beas corpus proceedings. In the answer
Negley averred hat Nelson had been tried
for assault and battery and found guilty
that thereupon Nelson had ordered a trans
eript Of the proceedings with the avOwet
intention OF appealing. but that he nevel
called for the document. ana hnally wheI

FUNCTIONS OF FIELD CLUB
Organization Fosters All sorts Of
Athletic sports and Plays
No Favorites.

Harry Morrill,. as one Of the enthusiastic
golfers OF the Omaha Field club, arises to
take issue with the interview given by
Lysle ]. Abbott. another member. who
leans more toward other sports thar golf.
and ventured a mild protest against the
proportionate expenditure made on golf BY
the club, and who in that interview also
gave some hints as to the effect in the
coming election Of officers. Mr. Morrill,
THE name of Mr.. Francis is used in the
sense Of being opposed 10 action and work
done this year by the board Of managers,
which is an unwarranted use Of his name
in this connection and without foundation.
The object and purpose OF the board Of
directors Of an organization, such as the
Omaha Field club, Is 70 promote all inter-
ests alike, sighting none nor favoring none,
except to the betterment of each, individu-
viii have Sn1 s eeo thst this po ShSse b 9pse bssp
acted upon by the directors so far, and II
there IL any aspirant for Office at the COM
grind or a chip on his shoulder, for the
welfare Of the Omaha Field club he should
be peremptorily turned down.
I'm reference TO Mr.. Abbott, the base ball
aggregation has not. as is known, had any
tSusissts. Money has been given them as
freely as has been given any other branch
Of sport represented and in accordance
with its demand. II is true the. golf links
require more by far than the ether
thusiast pays a great deal more for his
privilege. But such questions as these are
not to be considered nor weighed, IL we
such as we profess to be and have been.
The club now boasts OF frst-class base
ball grounds, tennis courts unexcelled. a
cricket ground, the finest dancing pavilion
in the west, four of the latest improved
bowling alleys and q golf ground which will
cago, and II we eliminate fractional contro-
versy we will succeed and excel in all. ANY
sentiment that one branch should be pushed
to the detriment of the others should be
discountenanced."

converted would be present. Tickets would be Issued to them so that they would be certain to get seats, and at Dr. Munhalls request many women volun- teered to be on hand to assist in directing the envelopes.
 The speaker then began his discourse, choosing as his text the parable of the man who gave a dinner and invited his friend who gave various excuses why they should not attend. The theme of his re- marks was Excuses" He began by say in his excuse for not attending the din- ner because he had bought a lot of land and must needs go and see it, was a very foolish man. The idea of a man buying land that he had never seen. If a man was to buy lot from Chicago broker which he had never seen, I venture to say, said Dr. Munhall, that when he did in a swamp.
 He took up the various excuses made by the men who were invited to the feast and illustrated how similar excuses were made now in not accepting the gospel. Christ, he said, made feast for the Jews and bid them to 1t, but they refused and he then sent out into the highways and hedges and gathered in the Gentiles and all the people of the earth, and bade them partake of 1t. He illustrated his dis course with many practical and interest ing similes, and brought the meeting to a close with many conversions as the re- suit of the nights labor.
