INQUIRED ABOUT
PUBLIC LANDS

In yesterdays mail Secretary Boyd
of the Promotion Committee received
about sixty letters Of inquiry about the
islands, the majority of which resulted
from the advertising in mainland mag
azines, particularly the Saturday Even
ing Post. About half the requests were
for printed matter and the remainder
for specific information, and of these
about twenty-five per cent have asked
for information concerning the public
lands.
The committee is now preparing to
issue a digest of the land laws and an
account of agricultural possibilities,
written by Jared G. Smith, especially
for this work. The matter will cover
about four columns of space in book
let form, and will be issued at once.
Among the inquiries were one from
Ipswich, England. and one from Leip-
sig, Germany.

NIPPON WAR
RUMOR DENIED

The report sent out from Honolulu
few days ago to the effect that the
Togo Kisen steamship Nippon Maru
would call at Midway island on her
way to Yokohama, owing to anxiety
over the alleged strained relations be-
tween Japan and Russia, is denied by
General Agent w. H. Avery of the line
in this city, on the authority of Minis
ter Takahira at Washington. When
the report concerning the Nippon Maru
was received here Agent Avery con-
suited japanese Consul Uyeno and he
in turn wired Minister Takahira, who
replied as follows:
washington, Oct. 25th-To Uveno,
Consul Of Japan, San Francisco: Know
Of no cause why Nippon Maru should
stop at Midway. Pending report from
Consul General at Honolulu can inform
Togo Kisen Kaisha and public that last
advices contained no information indi-
eating future hostilities.
"TAKAHIRA."
Later the same day General Agent
Avery received the following telegram,
through Consul Uyeno:
Washington, Oct. 25th-Consul-G Cen
eral at Honolulu reports no ground for
story that Nippon Maru called at Mid
way. TAKAHIRA."
The advices will allay the fears of
many people whose friends and rela-
tives sailed from here on the Nippon
Maru. Since the report was received
that Captain Greene and the other Of
ficers Of the steamer were anxious over
the safety of the Nippon. in view of the
war talk, the local Office of the Togo
Kisen Kaisha has been deluged with
inquiries in reference to the matter.
There is no probability that the liner
called at Midway and she will next be
heard from at Yokohama.-S. F. Ex-
change.

NEVER GIVE UP.

1t is the mOnOtony even
more than the pain that makes
a long illness so hard to bear.
Life is like a long rainy day.
One sees all things through
blue glasses and walks in the
Valley of Shadows. The atten-
ton is withdrawn from outside
matters and centred on ones
self. The various symptoms of
the disease, whatever it may
be, continually appeal to the
sufferers feeling and fancy
until other thoughts can get
little welcome in his mind.
Sometimes this is merely an af-
fair of a few months, and again
it may drag along for some
years. It depends on circum-
stances; no two cases are alike.
The words oftenest on the lips
Of these poor souls are, ooh,

RECEPTION AT
JAPAN'SC CONSULATE

The reception at the Japanese Con-
day, brought out the leading japanese
and white people of the city. Consul
and Madame Saito received in the front
drawing room. The guests, after pre-
senting their good wishes and congrat-
ulations, were escorted to a rear lanai
where punch and sweetmeats We're
ed with bunting and set with chairs
and tables, space being left for the Gov
eminent band and for athletic sports.
For an hour or more Japanese
swordsmen entertained the audience
with feats of skill. They We're dressed
in fencing armor and carried split bam-
boo STATS made in the form of two
handed swords. Army officers present
were deeply interested from a profess
sional point of view in the fencing,
which they said was very good indeed.
1t was certainly agile enough. A Ha-
waiian interpreter who had lived for
some years in Japan tried his hand at
1t with DR.. Katsunuma as his opponent
and was applauded for his good work.
While the fun was going on, dainty
Japanese girls passed coffee, punch, ice
cream and cakes, and the Government
band played appropriate airs from 1.-The
as well as other music. The
Japanese national anthem was received
by the audience standing.
Special guests present were the va
rious consuls, including the Chinese in
their silken robes and a body of young
men whose medals testified to their
service in the war Of 1S94-95. Many So
ciety people were out.
In the evening the leading japanese
residents had an elaborate banquet.

MllLETT FOUGHT
DEMENTED MAN

There was stencil arising from the
fight at the Reliance Club last nisht
that no amount of chloride of lime can
dispel. Somebody knew what was COM
ing off, as, starting with even money in
the afternoon, Millett grew and grew
in popular favor until he was 10 to z,
then 10 to g. then 2 to and finally any
old price to the money on. There was
very little bet at that. Whoever was
cognizant of Weinig's physical and
mental condition merely exercised a
petty graft and scooped in a few dol
lars that must burn in the pocket.
Certainly 1t was not the Reliance Club
management that profited. The match
was made in good faith and was based
on Weinig's extended record. 1t was
no fault of Millet's as he entered the
ring in shape to battle for a ransom.
But somebody knew and that some
body is an enemy to the boxing game
that has been SO free from faint in
California for some time past

HEARKEN YE!
To the Voice of Honolulu People,

If you will but listen to your friends
and neighbors they will tell You how
the pains and aches Of bad back. the
annoyances of urinary troubles, the
nervousness, the restlessness which
come from kidney Ills can be relieved
and cured. Read what one Honolulu
citizen says:
Writing under date of January 10th.
1899 Jurgen Walter of this city tells
US as follows: my age Is 79-well
past the ordinary span of life-and
am the parent OF eight children. Be-
ing so far advanced in years, l regard
the relief obtained from Doan's Back
ache Kidney Pills.
l suffered from a lame back for years.
but after taking some of the pills (pro-
cured at HOLSTERS drug store) was
greatly benefited, and l am satisfied the
pills did me much good"
Our kidneys filter our blood. They
work night and aay. When healthy
they remove about 500 grains of inn
pure matter daily. when unhealthy
some par. of this impure matter Is left
in the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-psin in the
back, headache. nervousness, hot, dry
skin. rheumatism. govt, gravel, dis
order. eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
ness, irregular heart, debility, drowsi-
ness. dropsy, deposits in the urine. etc.
But If you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kid
neys.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all chemists and storekeepers
at so cents per box, or will be mailed
on receipt of price by the HOLSTER
Drug Co.. wholesale agents for the Ha-
waiian Islands.

have agreed on using only sailing
ships. Spose that will surprise some
of you folks here. Might cause a

the boss won't appreciate? You bet
he will. I'm good for a raise On that

Sulphur is an excellent disinfectant
when burned in the poultry house, but
as sulphur melts and smothers the
fame it is difficult to burn it satisfac-
torily, says Garden and Farm. One
way to do so is to dissolve one-half
pint of pine tar and one-half pint Of
turpentine In one-half gallon of kero-
sene in an open vessel. Soak In this So
luton large corncobs until they are
well saturated. Then take them from
the solution and dust on them all of
the powdered sulphur that will stick to
them. Use nails or pieces Of wire and
insert the pointed end into the large
ends Of the cob and then stick them on
the floor. Remove all the combustible
matter from the poultry house, permit
ting the fumes to enter every crack
and crevice all over the surface, and
the lice will be destroyed. This should
be done once a month In warm
weather
