AUDRAIN COUNTY HEIFERs
ON THE MARKET
Kansns CITY Droyers Telegram.

Ar 0HJ 0AtFtAb ANAN6AAhus
Walter Hale, OF Martinsburg, Mo-,
Is partial to heifers when It comes
to feeding cattle. Five years ago Mfr.
Hale bought a string of heifers and
fed no other kind of cattle since, and
he has found it to his advantage to
do all his buying here. Mr.. Hale is
one Of the substantial farmers of
Audrain county. That Is one Of the
great cattle feeding counties Of the
east central part Of the state. Yester.
day Mr.. Hale was here and bought 80
head of extra choice heifers. "Heifers
feed out far more satisfactorily than
steers" said Mr.. Hale. 'They fatten
faster, require less corn, and sell bet
ter. There is never a time when good
heifers will not find a ready sale on
any kind of a market. But that can
not be said of steers. They occasion
ally stick, and drag a little. If
present indications count for any
thing, there ought to be a considerable
amount of feeding next fall and
winter. Not since 1902 have we had
any such a show for crops of all kinds
down through the central part of the
state. Everything looks well, and
corn especially. A great many wheat
fields and meadows were plowed up
this spring and the ground was used
for corn, so that we have in many
, more acres. Then we will have all
the rough feed we will need to &c
I with the corn, so that everything
looks very favorable. Corn will e
down some, no doubt, but no one Ii
looking for those old time low prices
by any 1t will be cheaI
+ enough to feed and there is no doub
but what a good many feeding CATTLE
will be needed, provided, however
they do not sell too high

DEATH YESTERDAY OF
MRS. MARIA ]. FORBES

Another beloved kamaaina has passed
on. Mrs. Maria j Forbes, widow of the
Rev. A. O. Forbes, quietly and peace
fully passed over the river yesterday
afternoon. She was nearly n years old
Mrs. Forbes was the daughter of Mr..
Levi Chamberlain, one of the pioneer
American. missionaries to these islands.
She was married on December 81, 1858,
to Rev. Anderson O. Forbes who was
a missionary of the American Board
and who for many years lived on the
Island of Molokai and had a large field
Of labor. Later he lived in Honolulu
and for a number of years was seere
tary of the Hawaiian Board of Missions.
Wherever he lived he rendered valuable
service and his wife was his loving,
faithful companion through all those
years. Mr.. Forbes died in 1888 Short
~ after, Mrs. Forbes was appointed
manager of the Lunalilo Home For
twelve years she rendered most faithful
and efficient service and was a great
comfort to the aged Hawaiians who
were inmates Of that hospitable insti-
tuition.
OF a retiring disposition and always
quiet and unobtrusive, she was pos
sessed of good judgment and tact Dur
ing her incumbencv of the office as
manager of the Lunalilo Home the af-
fairs of the institution were managed
with economy and efficiency. After
twelve years service she resigned the
position on account of her advancing
years and failing health.
Wherever Mrs. Forbes has lived she
has been comfort and blessing to
those about her and she will be long
remembered by many loving friends
She leaves surviving her, her brothers
Warren Chamberlain and Levi Cham
berlain, and sister, Miss Martha A. J.
Chamberlain; and her son, William J.
Forbes and daughters, Miss Maria
Forbes and Miss Harriet G. Forbes, and

ment will be in the old missionary

LAND LAWS In
OLD HAWAII
From the Archives.

Archivist Lydecker has found the Sc
cret of municipal transactions in the
olden days of Hawaii While not ex-
actly an ordinance for the City and
County of Honolulu alone, the follow
ing promulgated in 1888 might well
be put in use in some instances at the
present date The translation of the
ordinance is as follows:
Honolulu, Oahu, January S, 1888.
The following ordinances are for the
cities Of these Islands:
Hear and take heed, Ye of foreign
lands, and Ye also of these Islands re-
siding in this country from Hawaii to
Kauai, and Ye of Honolulu in Oahu.
Ye who hear these ordinances and heed
them not shall be guilty.
Ordinance I.
|, my Chiefs, and my Ministers here
by forbid those wrongful acts which
are known and done in the city of Ho
nolulu.
-Ye of foreign lands are hereby pro-
hibited from doing these things not
allowed you by those who own the
country
Following are those things to which
our consent has not been given: The
sale of house lots by the foreigners
with only notice to the King in the
following manner: ''Your Majesty, |
am going to sell my place, = the foreign
er then going home and selling it. We
do not allow this because such action
is like entangling the rights of our
kingdom
But those of foreign lands may sell
their goods with the stipulation, how
ever, that they take heed of the things
forbidden by the Government. Goods
also may be given on account of debts;
and the living may sell at auction those
articles of value belonging to de-
ceased person, and no one shall hinder
these acts of the foreigners.
But the sale of house lots secretly,
and the giving of lots secretly on ac-
count of debts, and the sale at auction
of house lots belonging to a deceased
person, were the reasons why those of
foreign lands caused so much trouble
in the city of Honolulu in the year of
our Lord 1886. Then it was that the
Chiefs who own the country saw this
| evil caused by the foreigners.
Therefore, |, my Chiefs, and my Min
listers do hereby prohibit these evil
acts which we have seen. Those who
| have house lots in any of the cities of
these islands shall not sell them secret
| ly They shall not be given secretly
on account of debts. Those living shall
not keep back the house lot of a de-
ceased person, but it shall be returned
! to the Chief who is in charge of the
land. His other belongings shall, OF
course, be his own, but the house LOT
belongs to the government. The he'll
may, however, take the buildings and
| all other things erected on the lot, the
| ground being returned to the Govern
| ment.
Because of these wrongful acts which
have been done by the foreigners il
this country, we therefore hereby i'm
pose on those who refuse to keep these
ordinances (the selling of a house lot
the giving of house lot on account OF
debts, and the keeping back of the
house lot belonging to deceased per
sony the following punishment:
The house lot and buildings on the
lot (not including the articles of value
contained therein9 shall be declared
| forfeit.
