ALMA LECTURE COURSE.
This will be "a Magnificent Trip Through
the Far West

The third entertainment on the Alma
lecture course will be given Thursday
evening, January 14th by DR.. Edward
Mcdowell 1t is a lecture on the natur.
al scenery of the Great West. illustrated
by many magnificent stereoptican
views.
In view of the fact that some reluc.
lance has been expressed by certain
number of the ticket holders in refer.
ence to attending this entertainment,
the following extract from letter re.
ceived from the Slayton Lyceum Bureau
will, it is hoped, remove any fears that
may be entertained as to the possibility
OF danger. Regarding the appearance
of DR.. Mcdowell there can be no
reason for your people to be alarmed on
account of the accident that happened to
the other stereUptican man. DR.. Nc
Dowell has with him an expert from the
Art Institute of this city, (Chicago) and
he is considered the best in the country.
There could not possibly be any danger.
The sale OF reserved seats for the last
three numbers on the course will open at
the drug store Of q. III. Rhodes on Mon
day next. The coupons for the three
numbers have been so drawn from diff
erent parts Of the house as to give each
ticket-holder as nearly as possible an
equal chance for seats. These coupons
are arranged in sets, (singles, doubles,
etc.. and placed in seale1 envelopes
which are drawn by the purchaser. BY
this method il is evident that no rush
nor delay in securing reserved seats il
necessary. Please to note that no
coupon is good at the door unless accom-
panied by season or single ticket
Tickets for McDowell's lecture will be on
sale at the same time and place.

CUTTING PRICES

on some of our specialties is the way
we take of acquiring new customers for
our famous candy. There isn't girl in
town who wouldn't relish box of our
Candies and these special prices will
enable you to win her good graces at
very little cost. When she tastes them
she won't know the difference between
them and the kind others charge fancy
prices for. We use only the purest OF
sugars and the best of fruits and favors
in our Candies and none better or more
delicious can be bought at any price.

ard the remainder is efficiently looked
after by the experimental station of
the United States. All of the routine
work of the Board, such as caring for
parks and looking after the Govern
ment nursery and forests, properly be-
long to the Public Works Office and
should be looked after by that depart
ment at comparatively small cost. The
one and only good thing that has come
out of the Board since Its establish
ment on new lines is the pamphlet on
agriculture and forestry issued month
ly by w. M. Giffard, one of the mem
bers. This pamphlet is interesting
and frequently contains matter of real
value The only other things the
Board has accomplished has been to
admit L. A. Thurston against into the
official pie and to confer upon him the
privilege of dispensing little public
pap to his friends. Outside of that it
has been as a rat hole down which a
large amount of the peoples money is
being constantly poured.

Cutting out the fees paid to jurors
and requiring citizens to serve in Grim
inal cases free of charge is scheme
that has its advantages and disadvant-
ages. 1t is an advantage inasmuch as a
considerable sum of money is saved
by it to the treasury The disadvant-
age is that, in an expensive commun-
ity like this, few men can afford the
time required to be given in the service
of the courts without some remunera-
tion. 1t would be hard, if not impos-
sible, to compel men with families and
with business responsibilities that
would suffer to attend jury trials, and
the difficulty of securing jurles would
be greatly increased. This increase
would also mean an increase in the ex-
pense of prosecutions and might result
in cost to the Territory almost equal
to the present cost and the introduc-
tion of a system that would have other
disadvantages It is next to impossible
to base the Islands scheme upon that
Of the States or any State, owing to
many differences in conditions here.
AS principle Judge Robinson's ideas
are within a line of legitimate econ
omy, but in practice the enforcement
of those ideas would be attended by
difficulties that might outweigh the ex-
pense of jury fees.

self for one A. w. Neeley, appointing
him as Chief Deputy Assessor. In
the letter, he recommended the ap-
pointment, because Neeley had been ex-
onerated by the grand jury of any pre-
vious attempt to commit any offense,
backed up by the Republican Execu-
tive Committee, High Sheriff Brown,
Deputy Attorney General Peters and
Collector Stackable, all fraternal
brothers they, and asked for the
Treasurer's approval of one in whom
he has implicit confidence" being one
familiar with the routine work of the
Office" Furthermore, he says that he
"can Immediately take up the Court
work and otherwise assume the re-
sponsibility of the Office during his in
ability or absence" because he has in
him "the utmost confidence in has
capability and trustworthiness." Good
for Jimmy. But Treasurer Kepoikai
answered him that the law did not
create such a. position, and returned

chance of his life. Poor Jimmy, hi
failed to create position for haolt

Pay Poor Labaysrs First,

Certainly, it is a mighty hard propo-
sltion for the Government to have to
pay It's officials and employees with
warrants, which may be registered
and then discounted For those work
ing under specific salary appropria-
tions, 1t is not so bad; but it is much
harder one for the poor and underpaid
employees and laborers to stand a
shave. AS they depend on what they
earn to pay for their living, the case is
serious, as far as 1t goes. We under
stand that the Treasury has enough
money to meet all the laborers' war.
rants and that Treasurer Kepoikai was
ready and willing to help them out,
but that the Governor interposed a
most decisive objection, holding that
all should be treated alike, not making
flesh of one and fowl of another. The
Governor may be right in the position
he holds, but is 1t just to the poor fel-
lows who labor hard to earn mere
pittance?

AS a matter of fact this Territory
has about as much use for Board OF
Agriculture and Forestry as cow has
for a second tail In the past, when
there was some incentive for expert
ments in rev industries and money
with which TO pay for. the same, the
agricultural board got along handily
with a commissioner and secretary and
combined that work with the more ex-
acting duties of the labor business. To-
day, with far less work and response
bility, the Board is swelled out into
an establishment big enough to fill the
requirements of California or even
New York and its routine expenses

pense of jury fees.

Probably the idea OF maintaining the
militia emanates from our strenuous
Republican politicians, who see in
the military organizations their
only chance to keep up appearances
But why maintain such an institution
at great cost to the taxpayers? DO
the people wish to see a repetition at
the next campaign, about October or
November, of say, 500 men in line
with red shirts and white pants, all
militiamen, marching in procession,
some blowing flaming flambeaus and
others carrying blazing kerosene oil
torches, all under iShe watchful eyes of
the respective company officers, also
garbed in the same fashion as the men
under each of their commands? We
say-nay, nay. Let's get rid of them
by the incoming Legislature doing
away with the appropriations. When
the people strike, it should be done
good, hard and strong, and let it be
also well done, not half done.

started wave of popular Indignation.
Prominent men who heard it stated
that If the band was cut out they would
not contribute cent to any exhibit at
st. Louis nor for any other public pur-
pose again, while one man went so far
as to declare that he would leave the
country If the only regular entertain
ment in Hawaii was to be cut out.
There is but one thing for the Legis-
lature to do and that is to continue the
band. Popular sentiment is unanimous
in favor of it. There is probably not
one person on the beach with an idea
different from that, and it will not pay
the Legislature nor the Governor to
buck the people at this time. Let the
military and score of other less use
tul institutions go, but save the band.

For Nervous Headache.

A never-failing" remedy" for
nervous headache is described by a
scientific authority thus Itconsists
simply in the act OF walking back
ward, but the method Of walking is
an important factor in the cure.
The pace should be very slow, let
ting the ball of the foot touch the
floor first, then the heel. A hall or
narrow room serves the purpose
best. The theory underlying the
cure is that the reflex action Of the
body brings about a reflex action oi
the brain; thus the pain induced by
nervousness, which is said to be the
result of too much going forward, is
driven away by simple process ol
reversal.
