Windham County Pomona grange held
a very interesting meeting "Wednesday
with Vernon grange. There were lGl,g
100 people who participated in the dining

which was the prompt response from near n
" everyone who had been APPOINTED TO

WOMAN CLAIMS As
REMA|NDERMAN
Land Where kalakaua Lived
Claimed by Mrs.
AtcherIy.

Judge Weaver in the Court of Land
Registration, yesterday began the trial
of case which had its beginnings a
half century ago. The case is the
application of Levers & Cooke for
a registered title to the land occupied
by their lumber yard at Queen and
Punchbowl streets. They claim title
through King Kalakaua, Queen Kapi-
olani and their successors. The Ter
ritory claims a right of way of part
of the property, and there are one
or two other claimants for minor por-
ttions or rights in the poperty.
The principal contestant, however,
is Mary Atcherly who claims as re-
maindernan after the life estate of
two brothers whom it was claimed
owned the property and allowed the
use of it to Kalakaua and Kapiolani
in return for like use of other prop
erty to them.
The whole title has once been
Irrigated in the circuit and supreme
courts, but the claim is made that
the courts did not have jurisdiction as
to the rights of Mrs. Atcherly.
i E. K. LilikaIani was one of the
principal witnesses. He testified that
in 1872 he came from Lahainaluna to
Honolulu at the invitation Of Kala-
kaua, that being before he was king,
and that he went to live on the prop
erty in question which was then occu-
pied by his foster father under
tWenty-year lease.

WORKS WONDERS
A Wonderful Compound-Cur Piles,
Eczema, Skin Itching, Skin
Eruptions, Cuts and
Bruises.

Doan's Ointment is the best skin
treatment, and the cheapest, because Sc
little is required to cure. It cures piles
after years of torture. It cures obsti-
itching. Tt cures skin eruptions. 1t
heals cuts, bruises, scratches and abra-
sions without leaving scar. It cures
permanently.
Jacob Heasong, farmer, living at the
corner of East Twenty eighth street and
Kelly avenue, Portland, Oregon, says:
+" In recommending Doan s Ointment to
those who suffer from hemorrhoids /
can only repeat the statement made
from this trouble for some years, and
in hot weather it was a great worry to
me. I could not sleep at night. Other
preparations having given me little or
no relief, finally began using Doan S
Ointment and it required only few
applications to bring soothing and heal
ing relief The facts above stated are
as I told them just after my first trial
of the remedy. I think just as much
of the preparation today
Doan's Ointment is splendid in all
diseases of the skin: Eczema, piles,
hives, insect bites, sores, ehilblains, etc.
Very frequently two or three boxes
1t is perfectly safe and very effective.

Panic Reigns at Casablancain
Morocco
CITY In HANDS OF NATIVES
The French Squadron Ordered to Moroc-

to Occupy the Place
Jointly.

Tangier Morocco, Aug 5,-The stu
alton at Casablanca grows steadily
worse, Two steamers arrived at Tan
gier yesterday, bringing refugees, the
Constantin carrying ESQ Jewish and a
number Of French; and another steamer
with 400 persons aboard, including
many Europeans All those arriving at
Tanger report the situation as most
alarming, the town still being in the
power Of the natives. All the Europeans
at Casablanca have been taken aboard
the steamers anchored in the harbor, and
panic reigns in the town. There have
been numerous skirInishes between the
guards and the tribesmen, and a number
OF the Moors were killed. The French
cruiser GtliIee arrived at Casablanca
Wednesday morning and il awaiting re-
Inducements from Algeria before max
ing landing. So many conflicting re-
ports from various soeurces are reach
ing Tangier that it is difficult to give
an exact statement of the situation at
Casahlanca.
The latest news received at Tangier
from Casablanea is that terrible panic
reigns there. All Europeans are leaving
the town. The guards have had several
skirmishes with the tribesmen The
French marines are awaiting reinforce
ments from Algeria before landing.

A wlIIow Fenoe.

NV fathers orchard on the old farm
IN western New York was swept by
strong west winds. We had lot OF
willow trees which had been topped
several years before and which had
made a very rapid growth. We cut
on this new growth and made it into
lengths eight feet long. These were
from one to two or more inches in
diameter at the small end. We then
plowed and cleaned a double furrow
about three feet deep along the or
chard fence and stretched guide lines.
The willow poles were then set eight
inches apart at an angle Of about thir-
ty degrees, and two light strips OF thin
boards were nailed on. The sod and
the best or the earth were filed in and
tramped at the bottom so as to leave
everything in good shape. Longer
pieces were used at regular intervals
SO as to give the fence stability from
the start. These willow posts all grew
and made fence that a bird could
scarcely get through.--L, B. r. In Or

A certain sultan one morning com

list. The vizier set to work, and at the
head of the list which was a very long
one, he placed the name Of his soyer.
eign. The latter happened TO be In a
good humor and merely inquired how
he came to merit that distinction.
sire the minister replied, ~ have
entered YOU on the list because only
two days ago you intrusted large sums
Of money, for the alleged purpose Of
