Professor Bailey of the University
was down from Lawrence one day last
week, inspecting the work being done
In our high school. He expressed
himself as well pleased with the ad-
vancement being made ia our schools
and particularly commended the
action of the board In putting in an
additional year In the high school,
He says now Chanute pupils can be adj
mitted to the freshman year In the
University without any conditions.
Our old friend Blackburn, north of
town. leased his land to Mr.. Knapp
early in the game and has waited
very patiently for the drill to reach
him. The drillers have just begun
work on his land and we hope he will
get some good gushers.
r. j. Barley, our pushing young
inventor and manufacturer, has begun
the erection of a brick building for
his shop and office, just south of the
railroad offices. The building will be
3Ox90 and will be finished up In good
style.
Clair Rosa, proprietor and editor OF
the Galeshurg Enterprise, was in Cha

Council Meeting.

last Tuesday night the city council
took up the matter Of the transfer Of
certain oil rights the city holds for
gas rights held by other parties.
This deal has been pending for a
good while. In the meantime the city
has lost nothing by the delay. Sever
al of the oil men want the city's rights
and are willing to pay a handsome
bonus for them. The question should
be very simple one to settle If coun-
cilmen would lay aside their personal
prejudlces and favoritlsms in the mat
ter and stop scoring one another and
impugning the motives of others, and
simply dispose of these valuable rights
to the very best interests of the city.
The rights acquired by the city of
the land owners cost the city but a
trifle, in the matter of expense and
the farmer received no cash consider
alton. He signed the lease in the
hope of an early development of his
land and with patriotic desire to
help the city and allow it to develop
at the expense of his gas. The city,
when it secured these gas rights, took
no especial note of the oil rights Sc
cured at the same time and placed no
value on them. The idea of the city
in securing and the farmer In grant
ing was to secure and surrender gas
privileges.
No money was spent by the city TO
secure or maintain oil rights, but
now, since we have incidentally secur-
ed oil rights which are very valuable,
it seems to us to be the very plain
dute of the coupcil. from the way in
which these rights were secured. not
to attempt to speculate on them in a
financial way, but to use them in the
very best possible way to further and
extend our gas interests.
Then the man who can and will
transfer 10 the city the most valuable
gas rights for the city's oil rights is
the man to be considered by the couu-
Gil, always bearing Ia mind the best
interests of the land owner, and the
cash man or a cash offer the council
has no right TO consider.

A CITIZENS STORY
Told by a Honolulu Citizen for
the Benefit of Honolulu
People.

The greatest Importance attached tc
| the following is that it concerns a Ho-
nolulu citizen. It would lose three
quarters of it's interest if it involved
some resident of Kalamazoo, Mich, OF
Woonsocket, r. I. Like all the testi-
mony which has appeared here, and
like all which will follow about the
Old Quaker remedy, Doan's lBackache
Kidney Pills, it comes from residents,
fellow citizens and neighbors. No
other remedy can show such a record
of home cures. Read this case:
Mrs. Emma Vieira, of King street,
this city, says: For three or four
years / had the misfortune 10 be af-
flicted with. an aching back. The pain
and discomfort this entailed on me can
be better imagined that described I
have two children, and it was of course
difficult for me to attend to them
while oppressed with suffering. The
way in which I found relief eventually
was by using Doan's Backache Kid
ney Pills, procured at the HOLSTER
Drug Co.'s store. They did me large
amount of good, as I now testify. I
should certainly recommend those VINO
have backache or any other form of
kidney trouble to try Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills."
Doan's Backaehe Kidney Pills are
for sale by all dealers. Price so cents
per box (six boxes $3.50. Mailed on
receipt Of price by the Hollister Drug
Co, Ltd, Honolulu, wholesale agents
for the Hawaiian Islands.
Remember the name Doan's, and take
no other.

CHINESE
AS tiIGHWAYME:N

The Hongkong Telegraph, under the
heading Chinese Cowboys Bushrang-
ing in Kwangtung (Which is surely a
confusion of ter1ns-tells the following
remarkable story:
To say that China is still asleep, ana
has not followed in the wake Of West
ern powers is fallacy, as far as crime
is concerned. For the past three
weeks band of eight mounted men,
on why ponies and dressed in the cos
tunes Of typical cowboys, with large
SLOUGH hats and armed with Winches-
ters and revolvers, have been holding
up pawnshops and pedestrians in the
prefecture of ST Chew and Shun TAX.
These ruffiians are all Chinese and
have recently returned from the States.
The guards are powerless against
them, while the local authorities have
devised every means to capture them,
but to no purpose. One of our repre-
sentatives had the good fortune to
come across one of the victims, and
from him we learn that these robbers
are we'll educated men, and when con
versing among themselves use the
English language. Their homes have
not been located, but it is believed they
came from some Of the surrounding
districts. At the beginning Of last
month the band held up rich paws
shop, and after overpowering the in
mates, carried loot away to the tune
Of $4,000.
AS our informant observes, e'these
men then galloped off and as parting
salute emptied their revolvers into the
air." The affair has quite a smacking
of cowboy life, and brings to mind the
days when Australia and America were

one and drag the oceans bottom righ
across the line where the cable would
lie.
] After placing this buoy and seeing
that the main buoy was still in posi-.
ton, the steamer put about for Homo
lulu, and on the way in sighted the
buoy off Diamond Head and found il
to be all right.
The vessel arrived of the harbor
about 8 o'clock. An Advertiser report
er went on board, and was told by the
officers that very heavy weather pre-
vailed in the channel during the day
and that the vessel would have to wait
until this moderates before the end of
the cable can be picked up and connec-
tons made with Honolulu.
Mr.. Benest, chief of the cable laying
expedition, told the reporter last night
that the vessel would now have to wait
for better weather, but he hoped that
the weather of last evening would not
be severe enough to carry away the
buoy at the cables end.
About thirty miles of cable now
remain to be laid to connect the cable
already in place and give direct COM
munication with the Coast.
Officers of the vessel had hoped yes
terday to be able to get the cables
end on board and have an opportunity
to send messages to San Francisco
from the vessel describing the work
they had already accomplished, but,
of course, this was impossible. In the
weather of yesterday, even had it been
possible, it would have been a ire
mendous risk to have taken the cable
on board the Silvertown, as the strain
caused by the heavy seas might have
broken it, and as it would have been
hazardous work to have made connec-
tons and carried it through the channel
even further delay might have result
ed from a break in the cable than now
results through yesterdays weather.
Pilot Lorensen came into town last
night with Pilot Macauley, who went
out to meet the vessel, and some of
the officers of the vessel will likely
come ashore early this morning.
