THE HOUSE.

Cutting out all of the airy persilage
yesterdays session of the House of
representatives was a mild kind of
joke. 1t was one of those unhumorous
jokes for the fact was patent that
there were certain of the statesmen
present who merely wished to occupy
as much time as happened to be lying
around loose.
There were members, of course, who
were vociferous, even the mild-man-
nered Aylett strayed far enough from
his habitual reserve to make a few
remarks, but the result was that the
real business of the House was delay
ed. Possibly it was delayed sufficient
ly to keep things interesting until the
execution of the County Act is finally
decided upon.

THE TRUTH ALWAYS.

"When you are in doubt tell
the truth" 1t was an expert
enced old diplomat who said this
to a beginner n the work, 1t
may pass in some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
ception are often profitable so
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa-
tion that is always worth twen-
ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered for
sale. We are able modestly to
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
rests. The people have discov-
cred that this medicine is exact
ly what it is said to be, and
that it does what we have al
ways declared it will do. Its ma
ture also has been frankly made
known. 1t is palatable as honey
and contains all the nutritive and
curative properties of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, extracted by us from
fresh cod livers, combined with
the Compound Syrup of Hypo-
phosphites and the Extracts of
Malt and Wild Cherry. A COM
hination of supreme excellence
and medicinal merit. Nothing
has been 80 successful in Ane-
mia, Scrofula, Bronchitis, Infu-
enza, Loss of Flesh and VAST
ing Diseases, Weakness and Low
Nervous Tone, and all COM
plants caused by Impure Blood.
DIR. Austin d. Irvine, of Canada,
says: "I have used it in cases
where cod liver oil was indica-
ted but could not be taken by
the patient, and the results fol-
lowing were very gratifying" 1t

THE TRIAL
OF MEHEULA
Clerk Of the Last Ses-
sion Of the House is
Before Jury.
cFrom Wednesdays Advertiser.)

tFrom Wednesdays Advertiser)
For a second time. solomon Meheula,
clerk of the last House of Representa-
tiyes, is on trial before a jury in the
Circuit Court on an indictment for
gross cheat. Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Fleming is conducting the case for
the Territory, defendant being repre-
scented by C. w. Ashford, and the fol-
lowing are in the jury box: c. Lam
bert, E. Henriques. d. NJ. Ross, 7. A.
Juen, Fred Turrlll, w. p. Roth, C. G..
Bartlett, Ben Guerrero, Job Bachelor,
+. ]. Robello, F. NJ. Kiley, NJ. w. Park
hurst.
The indictment charges that Mehe-
ula, as clerk OF the House of Repre-
sentatives, fraudulently represented to
the House Committee on Accounts that
he had purchased thirty volumes OF
the Hawaiian laws for $3.50 and that he
made out a voucher and procured and
cashed a warrant for the $3.50, when
in fact no such purchases had been
made. Many members of the last House
are in attendance upon the court sc
testify as to whether they ever receiv-
ed the volumes that were said to have
been purchased for them.
c. r. Buckland chief clerk in the
Secretary's office, was the first witness
called. 1t developed, when he took the
stand, that the original journal of the
sessions of the first House of Repre-
sentatives has been lost and the fail
ure of the prosecution to produce 1t in

its disappearance is a mystery.

eral Fleming offered one of the print
ed and bound volumes, but Ashford OBJ
jected on the ground that 1t was not n

stenographer OF the House who helped
TO make up the journal, was called to
testify as to its accuracy. Under cross
examination by Ashford he stated that
he had not compared 1t all with the
original draft though he had compared
some parts.
There were many other witnesses
called the case occupying the greater
part of the day, and then not being

on appeal a general bond for $500 was
filed, and the circuit judge dismissed
the appeal on the ground that the stat
utory bond of $500 for costs" had not

OF ELECTION
A Report that Arthur
Brown Has Switched
his Ambition.

1t is only eighteen days now to the
meeting of the Republican County
Convention for the county of Oahu,
and of course the politicians. follow
Ing the line of the Territorial officers
and desiring to overlook no tricks in
the game, are getting pretty busy.
The plum, of course. is the shfievalty.
and there are a number of candidates
for that important position. Prior to
yesterday, 1t was generally understood
that ex-High Sheriff Brown was max
ing strong fight for the place, all
though he had Clarence Crabbe in the
open against him-and all the woods
full of dark horses. Yesterday there,
was a whisper on the streets that Mr..
Brown had switched his desire and
would make play for the office of coun-
ty attorney. This, however, he denies.
A strong trend has developed. also.
toward David Kalauokalani the clerk
of the House of Representatives. for
the position of County Clerk of Oahu.
Mr. Kalauokalani lives i'm the fourth
precinct of the Fourth district. and it
Is said by those in the know that he
could have the entire district delega-
ton behind him II he wanted it, He
has made an excellent record in the
House, and has very strong follow
ing on the outside.
Politicians are beginning to specu-
late upon what effect the extra session
Will have upon the coming county
election, in case the County Act should
be found to be valid. and there should
be a county election. If the session
puts its appropriation bills through as
last as it can, keeping a weather eye
upon the county act litigation, the ex-
ira session will probably have no i'll
result, so far as county elections are
concerned. On the other hand. a. long
drawn out session. with much useless
talking and any number of possible
fights, could not fail to be disastrous.
And that kind of session would have
i'll results that would reach beyond
the possible county elections, more
over-results that would be felt the
next time the people have a chance of

SURVEYING LANDS
A. & M. Cadets Doing
Good Work for the
State.

terday to Onsiow and Jones counties
where he has for several weeks been
surveying State lands. He has, with
his corps of fifteen assistants, COM
posed entirely of students of A. & NJ.
College, completed the surveys of the
State lands, and is now engaged in sur
Veying the encroachmentS, which have
been decreasing their limits every
year for a large number of years The
state owns i'll these two counties De
tween 100000 and 100000 acres.
Although the work will not be COM
pleted by that time Prof. Riddick, ac-
companied by his corps, will return to
Raleigh, and the work will probably
be temporarily abandoned or post
poned until next year.
Prof Riddick was highly pleased
with the work of the A. & NJ. boys.
They were as valuable and as efficient
and indispensable, he declared, as yet
eran engineers would have been, and
vastly less troublesome. The work
has been interrupted several times,
however. by the demands on the party
for A. & NJ. graduates, of which there
were eleven when the work was com
menced They all have left for
better places, ranging from Florida TO
the District of Columbia, West Nir-
ginia and Tennessee.
Constantly applications are received
for more graduates, but every one has
a position already, and not one can
be secured.
