Uncovered until only little milk

Here is a nice way to prepare
the usual breakfast dish of bacon
and eggs: Lay as many pieces of
sliced bacon with the rind removed
as the frying pan will accommo-
date. Fry to delicate brown and
take up on plate. Break four
eggs in a bowl and add to them
four teaspoonfuls of cold water and
a little salt and pepper Beat them
a little and turn into the hot bacon
fat. Lift and stir lightly until the
white is set and the mixture is
thick and creamy, Take out care
fully and lay over the bacon.

Household Hints.

A ham is greatly improved if af-
ter being boiled it is wrapped in
buttered paper and baked for an
hour.
If can of milk is placed near
an open vessel containing turpen-
tine the smell of turpentlne is soon
communicated to the milk. The
same result occurs as regards tobac-
CO, parafin, asafetida, camphor
and many other strong smelling
substances. Milk should be kept
at a distance from every volatile
substance, and milk which has
stood in sick chambers should new
er be used.
When taking feathers from a
pillow or a tick to put into a new
one the latter must be stitched all
round except tor a space, say, OF
ten inches. In the former rip a
hole to correspond, sew the two
tightly together, and by pushing
and shaking the feathers will pass
into the new receptacles with not a
bit of down or fluff flying about.
It is well to remember when pa
pering a small room that blue in all
light shades makes room look
longer. Dark colors of papers with
large patterns have the opposite eff
feet.
For a variety in the usual way
of serving boiled cabbage and one
that probably renders that vegeta-
bic more easily digestible, the fol-
lowing is recommended: Slice
small cabbage into shreds aud cook
in boiling water with a pinch of
baking soda for fifteen minutes,
then turn into a colander. Add
one pint of milk and a grating of

thirty o'clock. E. H. Ferguson, of
Cedar, and j. e. Gavin, of Scott, were
excused for good and sufficient reas-
ons. F. M. Likens made application
to get away, but was detained and
drawn. The seven jurors drawn for
the work of the term are: w. A.

term and the gentlemen went out and
to their work. Miss Carrie Pickerel
will act as clerk during the work.
The court was busy this morning
with motions and the like and this af-
ternoon the greater portion of the
time was spent with defaults. The
preliminary work is moving along in
the right direction and there is a
manifest desire on the part of the bar

Russians Suffer Heavily.

Toxic, Dec. THE Russians are
nightly attacking 2O3-Meter hill in de-
termined endeavor to retake the sum
init of the ground in contention. The
Japanese are increasing their defenses
on the position and have succeeded so
far in repelling all the assaults. The
Russians have suffered the heaviest
losses apd it is estimated that they have
sacrificed 5000 men in their effort to
recapture the ground, which the Jap
anese are confident in their ability to
hold. observations indicate that the
garrison is feeling the shortage of men.
The works against Sungshu noun
tain and the forts to the eastward are
progressing speedily and all indications
point to an early general assault, al
though the date when 1t will begin is
kept secret. 1t is expected that the next
general assault will prove successful
Bombard Russian Ships.
The effective bombardment Of the
Russian battleships in Port Arthur,
which began on Saturday last, was one
of the results Of the capture Of 203-Meter
hill. Up to that time the warships had
been able to seek shelter from the Jap
anese Gre under Peiyu mountain, but
the capture of 203-Meter hill November
29-30 enabled the Japanese to train their
guns on the Russian vessels, with the
result that number Of them have been
set on fire and the others must either put
to sea or suffer irreparable damage.

perplexity Of the Doctors in a

The fear which is justly aroused by
the appearance of disease with such
fatal tendencies as scrofula, will be re-
lieved by a statement OF recent re-
markable cure Mr.. Thomas +. Brown.
OF the Hume Carriage Company, Ames-
bury, Mass, says:

over my whole body. ! became greatly
alarmed and consulted physicians in
Amesbury and in Newburyport. They

that ! would have TO take the greatest
care TO avert fatal result. They pro-
nounced my blood to be in a bad con-
dition and said long time would be
necessary to put me in healthy state.
There was chronic inflammation all
over my body wherever the disease had
fspread; there would be discharge of
yellow-colored pus where the skin would
break and leave an ulcerlke sore. These
sores would dry up for while only to
break and discharge again.

Mountain View. Oct. a. 1904.
Mr. Henry Hayes. NJ d., chairman Of
the Committee on Public Lands OF
the Board OF Trade, Hilo, Hawaii
T. II.
Sir; In answer TO your query OF 10th
inst. beg to return the blank filled out
and signed.
Regarding the names and addresses Of
Russian, Polish. Galician and other set
tiers in this ncighborhood, you can OBJ
tain them more fully by calling at the
Hlo land office in order to mail your
blanks and get the answers Individually.
In addition 10 my testimony, for the
information Of your board and of whom
socvcr may take interest in this question,
| will say:
That the land laws, more than any
other laws, i'll order to be satisfactory,
must suit and fit the general economical,
political and social status of the coun-
try they are intended for; must be an
organic part OF its real constitution, as
against paper constitutions OF every
description.
At the time of annexation, and espe-
cially after the utterances of the Presi-
dent of the United States that Hawai-
ian Islands are to become the country
of American homesteaders, and develop
ed on traditional American lines, by
logical inference | was in favor of the
American Homestead Act pure and
simple as the best substitute to the Land
Act OF 1906.
Unfortunately the United States Adj
ministration either could or would not
follow the plan forecast and promulgat-
ed In practice the opposite policy has
been adopted the full endorsement OF
the interests and plans of local corpora
tons, including the management and dis
posal of public lands. The result of it
was-stil further and more extensive in
vasion of the country by Asiatics, Japa-
nese and Koreans, who, together with
the Chinese make up now more than
two-thirds of the total population whose
other elements, including the natives,
are rapidly waning.
The title of sovereignty and owner
ship to this country in general and to the
public lands in particular is with the
United States. They can do with them
whatever they choose. We can but most
respectfully bow before their decision
and. as far as with us lies, assist in the
realization of their wishes.
1t is decided to surrender the Hawaiian
Islands to Asiatcs; the measure was al
ready carried on so far, that ii seems too
late to give it any other turn At pres
ent white laborGs, mechanics, employees,
tenants, farmers and settlers are we'll
nigh all driven away by the Japanese
and Chinese, and they will not come
back in spite of all the efforts of any
promotion committees. Every settler
who was compelled to leave is an anti
promotion committee by himself, and a
reliable source of information for the
rest of them at home.
From Asiatic invaders children are
born every day; they will rightly claim
and obtain American citizenship; become
voters 1t will not take many years
when they will be in the maj ority at the
polls. as they are in the majority now in
the fields, workshops, trades, professions
and commerce. Nay. it is but question
of time when they will become full mas
tiers by buying out the interests of the
very corporations who have brought
them here.

kauai MURDERER
BROUGHT BY DOYLE
(From Saturdays Advertiser.)

lFrom Saturdays AdVertiSer.)
Chester Doyle returned from Kauai in
the steamer Noeau yesterday, bringing
in custody kosai, the Japanese who kill
ed his fellow-countryman Hamano, at
Hanapepe, and made an attempt on the
life of his own wife.
Kosai, according to Doyle's account,
found his wife in Hamano's house and
company on Sunday night. He took his
wife home and when he thought she
was asleep sneaked out of the house. The
woman having only been feigning sleep
and suspecting her husband was out on
mischief went after him. She arrived
at Hamano's house as her husband was
shooting the man and tried to stay his
murderous hand. There was a struggle
between man and wife, in which the
smoking revolver fell from Kosai's hand
to the floor. Then Kosai grasped a
knife, stabbed his wife and ran away.
Kosai went to the house of friend,
to whom he offered 500 with a request
to have it sent TO his relatives, saying
he was going to commit suicide. The
friend declined to have anything to do
with him, whereupon Kosai said he
would surrender to the police.
