GOVERNMENT
A TRESPASSER
SCHOOLHOUSE BUILT on PR.
YATE PROPERTY FORCES LAND
BOARD TO AN EXCHANGE.

The government in the old days had
very lax way of doing things, at
least this is what was said at the Land
Board meeting yesterday afternoon.
For instance it did not sem to trouble
whether the lands on which a school
building was to be placed belonged to
it not; as a feet it did not bother
to inquire; it was known that 1t had
lands in the vicinity, and that seemed
to be sufficient. The Land Board
every now and again has to pay rather
dearly for this haphazard sprinkling
of government buildings, and yester-
day another example was furnished.
II. L. Holstein had an application
before the board for an exchange of
land. He pointed out that a school
house had been constructed on his
land, but that he was quite agreeable
to exchange one strip that he had for
the piece that the government had
taken
Mr. Trent inquired whether he was
quite right in assuming that the gov
eminent would receive a piece of land
about one-third of an acre in area for
piece of land a little over three
quarters.
Secretary Brown confirmed the con-
lecture, but pointed out that Mr.. Hol-
stein had the government because
there was a schoolhouse on the
ground. 1t would cost the government
lot of money to remove the building
more than it would lose by allow
ing Mr.. Holstein to take a bigger piece
of land than that he offered
Mr.. Trent could not see that Mr..
Holstein had the government; it
seemed to him to be the other way
about. The government, of course,
would never take advantage of the
fact that it could hold land that it had
occupied
Mr.. Brown said chat it was unfor-
tunate that the government, owing
sometimes to the carelessness with
which things had been done In the
past, found itself in a position where
it was practically obliged to get a
matter settled up to it's own disadvan-
tage.
The exchange was agreed to on the
motion of Andrade and Dwight.

TRYING To
EXPLAIN TEDDY
SAYS HE GETS
DOPE FROM LINCOLN AND CAE-
SAR OR NAPOLEON.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, September H.
The thirteenth annual convention of
the Ohio Dissertation of Spiritualists
began in this city yesterday a three
day session, with over fifty delegates in
attendance.
Everybody in the world has a con-
troll" says President Harry E. Broer-
stel of Columbus, although most peo-
pie don't know it,"
"The control of Theodore Roose-
velt," declared Treasurer Mehaffey, lis
very probably Abraham Lincoln. You
see, for different controls, Roosevelt
being of commanding influence, is
probably also controlled by a Caesar
or Napoleon, or by the spirit of some
powerful Indian chief.
fills mind is attuned to receive high
moral impressions from the spirits of
such men as Lincoln. In fact, Lin
coin and the other patriots are at pre-
sent engaged in sending forth mes
sages of a new order of patriotism,
and that is why the people are arising
against the old order of things. Roose-
welt is the medium through which
these messages are being transmit
ted"

TRADE WITH JAPAN.

The last few months have witness
ed a remarkable falling off in trade
between Japan and the United States.
The Japanese Government have sent
out list of questions to Chambers
of Commerce relative to this decline
in rate, and special inquiries are be-
ing made as to the effect of the new
American tariff on Japanese exports
to the United States. That imports
should have fallen off some 80 per
cent and exports about 4 per cent,
with America is causing no little
amount of discussion in Japan; but
it is believed that the chief reason
for it is the decline of the demand
in the United States for Japanese
copper, silk and tea; while, on the
other hand, the Japanese controllers
of industry are showing a disposition
to prefer more and more British, Ger
man and Belgin iron and machinery
to that formerly imported from Amer
lea. But perhaps, the usual depres-
sion in Japanese trade and industry
during the last two years has had as
much to do with the decline in trade
with America as the causes mention
ed.

BASEBALL MEETING TONIGHT

To consider whether it is advisable
to go ahead with the second series of
the Oahu Baseball league a meeting
will be held in the offices of Charlie
Chillingworth tonight. 1t is consider
ed likely that the series will be gone
on with, as the ground is now in much
better condition. However, it is sug'
gested that as there has not been
much practice lately, it would be bet,
ter to abandon the series. The jul,
niors meet tomorrow evening to con,

ORGANIZING
As AMATEURS

The preliminary steps necessary for
the formation of the proposed Amateur
Athletic Association in Honolulu are
not moving quite as smoothly as de-
sirable, but there does not seem any
reason to suppose that the wishes of
the organizers win not be realized. So
far nine signatures have been affixed
tothe application circular for affiliation
with the National Union. and only one
more signature is assured
Those to sign up to date are:
Myrtle Boat Club, Male Baseball
team, Grammar School League, Out
rigger Club, Y. NJ. c. A., st. Louis
Baseball Club, Honolulu Yacht Club,
Mckinley High School and Hawaiian
Football Association.
The Kamehameha Schools and the
Oahu College are still among the dis
senters but their inclusion seems only
to be a matter of time. The Healani
Club has also stood aloof, but here,
too, there seems every chance of the
club joining the Association if it sue
ceeds in securing the sanction of the
National Union. The Healanis are
actuated by reasons of prudence in
awaiting developments.

Medicine

Alcohol

Ayers Sarsaparilla is a tonic
and Alternative, free from alcohol.
What is tonic? A medicine
that imparts strength or tone; a
medicine that builds up, gives
VigOr and power. What is an
Alternative? A medicine that
alters or changes unhealthy ac-
ton to healthy action. Ayers
Sarsaparilla does all this with
out stimulation. Ask your doc
tor if a family medicine, like
Ayers Sarsaparilla, is not vastly
better without alcohol than
with it.

Mobile and Atlanta broke the
worlds time record for a base ball
game at Atlanta on Sept. 18th, when
they played a full nine-lnnlng game in
thirty-two minutes, Mobile winning,
2 to l.
This remarkable record was made
possible by the two teams going on
the field and coming to bat on the
run. Invariably the first ball delivered
to each batter was struck at and usu-
ally hit, without any effort to "place"
it.
Thirty-fve assists in the field tells
the story. Nevertheless there were
some sensational stops and throws as
well as some clever catches by the
outfielders. Only one base on balls
was recorded and one strikeout.
There were four stolen bases, one
sacrifice hit and one wild pitch, three
two baggers, one ree-bagger, one
triple and one double play.
1t was, from the standpoint of the
fans, a snappy game, if not "heady.'

company refused to give Messrs
Graves and Twist a lot on which to
open business, but offered TO sell
them one. Not caring to pay for a
lot which the vendee had neither
title for nor right to sell they again
started en- the search for a location

the orphan and raised him as tender

and then as a small boy he rode the
old mare or mule and guided the
animal which pulled the old time

three trips to the row. When able
to reach the plow handles he gradu-
ated from the back of the beast to
the guidance of the pow. For holi'

HALEY undertook the labor of
calculating the elements of all
the comets which had been suf-
ticiently observed to enable him
to do so. A comparison of the
elements of all the comets thus
computed by Haley showed that
those which appeared in the
years 1881, 1907 and 1852, were
moving in orbits very similar to
each other. Hence he was led
to conclude that they were sue
cessive appearances of the same
comet, revolving around the sun
in period of about. IS to 70
years; and he is more confirmed
in this by the fact that remark
able comet was recorded to have
appeared in the year 1887, which
was seventy-five years before
1881. He concluded by conf
IDENTIFY predicting that it would
appear in the year 1883. 1t did
so appear, being first seen on
Christmas Day in that year by a
Saxon farmer, and by an anna
tuer named Palitzsch near Dres-
den. Subsequent calculations
have been made to identify Hal
ley'sComet with comets seen at
many intervals of seventy-s six
years before 1856, the first be.
ing so far back as II B. c., in the
reign of the Emperor Agustus,
and the second in A, d. 90.
When Halley's prediction was
fulflled(sixteen years after his
death )by the temperance of the
comet of 1852 and 1883, it was
called after his name, and has
ever since born the designation
of Halley's Comet. 1t appeared
again in 1885, and during this
year Of 1910, it will be visible to
us.

meeting occurred near where Ira
SCOTS house now is; likely between
the house and the water tower.
The talk as a matter of course
turned on the opportunities of the
country and later to the location of
a town site. After the manner of
American pioneers meeting was at
once organized with c. G.. Allen
President, Mr.. Graves being chosen
as treasurer of the new town com
pany. AS an inducement for the
location of the new town and to as
sure supplies for the persons inter-
ested in the enterprise, Messrs
Graves and Twist offered to at once
erect a building and put stock of
groceries into it. Within few days
another meeting of the promoters of
the prospective town was held on
the same ground in tent. Mr..
Graves drove his team to Cimarron
then the nearest railroad point where
groceries and lumber could be
bought, and loaded his wagon with
lumber for his business house in the
new town. Yesnew town is the cor
rect way of stating the case, the
paper town was complete and the
more substantial incidents of people
and buildings with business in them
would come later. Mr.. Graves
returned with his load and at once
h e building later occupied by
Graves & Twist wholesale and re-
tale grocers, was erected and Graves
returned after goods, bringing the
first stock brought into Meade. On
one of these trips, perhaps the first
one he met two men who later be-
came prominent characters in the
early days of Meade, A. II. Hsber
and Bill Kinneman who rode from
Carthage to Meade.
This first to develop into banker,
fnancier, politician and member of
the Legislature from this county and
who few years ago met his death
in hotel fire at Goldheld Nevada.

life, he attended school in Macon
and finished his scholastic course at
the State University at Columbia
Misrouri.
In 1884 the inherited microb of
pioneering fired his blood and with
team and wagon he started west to
find good country, which was new
enough to need making. His first
stop was In what was then Indian
Territory, Just south of Sumner
county Kansas. Conditions there
not being satisfactory, in the spring
of 1885 he again hitched the team to
the wagon and headed, as his ances
tors had always done when dissatis-
fed, his course west, towards the
promised land. The land of oppor-
tunity, of room, of sure reward for
effort. At summer he met by ac-
cident, Mr.. E. A. Twist, who ar
ranged for passage west in the wag-
on, and together the two strangers
drove out on the westward trail in
search of an even chance with the
world. Finding that they were of
similar intentions and not entirely
dissimilar tastes, they soon formed
partnership in prospecting. They
agreed that when suitable location
was found they would enter the gro
Gerry trade in retail way. With
that in view they drove west for the
then promising town of Carthage,
situated at that time on the high
prairie six miles northwest of where
Meade is now located, by pond Of
several acres In extent which was
then full of water and on which
skiff was kept. The pond was nam
ed after the town, Carthage Lake.
The cattle being kept away from it
by the settlement of the town and
the water drying up in dry year the
bottom froze, and cracked in the
summer sun with the result that not
being kept puddled by the stock
wading in it, it did not hold water
and for years has been dry except
for short intervals
On the 27th day of April 1885,
Mr.. Graves drove along the north
line of his present farm which was
then open pralne with no hint of
residence In sight, on to Carthage.
The town was located on Govern
ment land and ruled by town site
