PEPPER PATCH is ROBBED AND
GROWER PUTS NOTICE
IN PAPER.

JACKSON, Tenn, Oct. 11.-Mark
w. Taylor, a. hede and truck grower
living in the suburbs of the city, has
introduced. an innovation in dealing
with thieves. Several nights ago Mr..
Taylor's pepper patch was visited and
a quantity of his cherished green pep
pers were taken. Instead of order
ing the alleged thief to be put under
arrest, Mr.. Taylor inserted the fol-
lowing notice in local paper, which
Injunction, written in the language
of the apostles, will no doubt attract

DON'T KNOW
KENNEDY HERE
FOUR BARNS SET ON FIRE BY
HIM IN KEN
TUCkY.

CONVICTION, Ky, Oct. II. The
mystery Of the origin of several in
cendiaIy fires which destroyed four
costly barns in the vicinity Of San
fordstown, Ky, two weeks ago, was
cleared up today when John J., Kenne-
dy Of Columbia, Tenn, was leaked
up in the Covington Jail, after having
been arrested at Lawrenceburg, Ind,
last week. Kennedy was captured at
Lawrenceburg last Saturday. Yester-
day prayermeeting was held in the
lookup and, carried away with relig-
ious enthusiasm, Kennedy became
converted and confessed that he was
the incendiary who had terrorzed
farmers in the vicinity of Sanfords
town by wholesae barn burning,
Shortly after l a. m, on the morn
ing of Sept. "a the farming communi-
ty in the southern portion of Kenton
county was thrown into a panic when
an incendiary appeared in their midst
and ignited four barns. Unmistaka-
Bile signs of the mans work YVES
found among the ruins of the barns
and a thorough search was at once
instituted in an effort to apprehend
the incendiary Police chiefs in all
the nearby towns were notified,
which resulted in the arrest of Ken
needy. Over $4,000 is said to have
been the loss caused by the fires.

SUFFERING WITH
BONE EELON

Acting Recorder Porter Erwin has
been suffering for number OF days
recently with bone felon on. one fin
ger of the right hand. His clerical
work during the past month has been
considerably more than usual on &C
count of the collection of taxes, and
the ailment has handicapped him in
the work very much. He has had 1t
lanced and treated, and while it is yet
exceedingly painful he is OF the opin-
ion that the worst will be over right
away.

GRINDING RESULTS
At WA|PAHU
!. !. AND PIONEER

Definite reports of grinding opera
tons up to January IS have been re-
ceived from Pioneer Mill, Maui, and
Oahu Sugar Company To that date
5000 tons of sugar had been turned
out at the former and 200 tons at
the latter The figures now are, of
course, considerably larger, as the
two mills have been operating steadi-
ly ever since.
Pioneer juice is excellent During
the year the rainfall has been about
RICH t,rounding off the crop in e,
cellent shape. The yield of Pioneer
for this campaign will be fully up
10 or above expectations.
From Oahu, however, comes the
most interesting information. There
the juice is running very high as to
quality, and the outturn of sugar to
the ton Of cane will be exceptionally
heavy. Rain on this island hasNbeen
of such volume in the past few
months that the artesian level has
returned TO normal in the Eva basin,
in which are tile lands of the Oahu
Sugar Company; with the result that
mo further trouble with saline matter
in the water is to be apprehended.
The water is now clean and, sweet,
and stands a good show of remaining
so for the next three of four years,
anyway.
On Oahu, generally, the plantations
have lately had more rain than is
but not enough to do
harm, On Maui the situation is about
the same. On Hawaii the fall varied
with localities. .Kau has made out
finely. On the north coast rather too
much rain has fallen. This is parti-
cularly true fIIonokaa and neighbor-
hood, where the soil holds the water. |
In few instances actual damage has
resulted from excessive precipitation;
although in all such cases there would |
perhaps be a complete recovery should !
a let-up for a time occur.
All Of the plantations in the group |
having to depend to any extent on
artificial appliances for water have /
saved enormous sums as a result of |
the rains in the past six months. The
saving is greatest in the cases of
using pumps,

FINAL REPORT

The Federal Grand Jury submitted
its final report this morning, and in
the introduction, reference was made
to the services rendered by Frank f.
Blake as secretary. Regret was ex.
pressed that no provision had been
made to allow for extra compensation
ito the secretary. In addition to pay
ing attention to evidence adduced,
the secretary was required to keep
a list of the witnesses sworn and to
some extent, to make an epitome of
the evidence adduced. Some provi-
sion should be made for compensa-
ton for such services, said the re-
port. The Grand Jury had investi-
gated fifty-three cases, and had found
forty-eight true bills, and five no
bills. SIN.

SUGAR RAISES AND
THEN FALLS BACK

A private cable received here early
this afternoon reported raw sugar to
be 8 81 in New York.
Yesterdays official cable reported
an advance from, 8. sos to $50, which
makes the sweeping drop of today
surprising, to say the least
1t is imagined here that the ad-
vance yesterday was caused by a
forced purchase on a market scant
of stock, and that during the day Or
night additional supplies of sugar ar
rived or were made available. The
severe drop of nine points would in
dictate new sugar at New York and
perhaps at other points.

same basis as yesterday. Although
the demand at prevailing figures is
not strong On the board this morn
ing shares sold at $27 so, which
has been the basis of all recent tran
sactions. Al the same time, more of
the stock can be had at the same,
while official bidding is at S27 S75.
A block of 100 McBryde sold on the
street at 81, at which the stock seems
to be strong. Buyers of both Nc
Bryde and Olaa at the present. time
appear to be of the investing class,
as against spectators; which is an
assuring consideration.
Oahu today appears to be slightly
off, although this is hard to figure
inasmuch as none of the stock is
offered for sale. Bidding, however,
is at $26, which is a quarter below
the last previous sale.
Brewery seems to be still in de-
mand. On the street 10 more shares
sold at $19. so. This morning bidding
was at only $40 975, while $19.75 was
asked. The last previous sale was
at $40 so.
Honokaa was a good deal stronger
today, $11 being bid and 81. 80 ask
cd. Recent sales had been at 81
while only yesterday $1,000 was the
highest bid for the stock. ,.
Hutchinson is also strong, $14 being
bid for it today, while none of the
stock appears to be in sight. The
last sale was on this basis.
Inter-Island stock has pulled up a
little since the last sale, $11O being
now bid for it and $115 asked. Only
a short time ago sales of this stock
were made at $107 So
There is considerable inquiry for
bonds at the present time, and this
interest will doubtless increase as the
business of the year is gotten more
fully under way.

StOCk Sales Light
But Prices Still Firm

With the possible exception of Ha-
waiian Commercial, prices of stocks
today have been rather higher than
for sometime past although 1t must
be admitted that the demand is not
SC heavy nor so urgent as last week.
There is in the atmosphere an ele-
ment of fright on account Of news
coming over the WIRE from San Fran
cisco. Hawaiian Commercial, Hawai-
ian Sugar MakawelD, Paauhau and
Onomea appear to be weaker over
there, and this information has caus-
ed a depression in the quotations for
those stocks on the local board.
In the case Of Hawaiian CONNER
cial bidding is now at 1913 .25, while
the stock is being offered at $33 625.
The last previous SAFE or this stock
in Honolulu was at 1874, and the drop
has been anywhere from fifty to
seventy-five cents in three or four
days. There is no lack of confidence
in the Islands in Hawaiian CONNER
cial, and the market is being in
fluenced to the bad solely by reports
from San Francisco.
Pioneer pulled up a notch yesterday,
"a and 20 shares selling on the
street in the late afternoon at $3.50.
This morning the same was bid for
more, while 1882 80 was still asked ..
This is an advance in the bid basis of
81 a share. The advance in this
stock in due almost entirely to the
exceptionally promising condition of
the present and next crops on the
plantations.
On the board this morning and
shares of Waialua sold at $50, after
which there seemed TO be a slight
sagging of interest, bidding being at
$50, while $91 was asked for the
stock.
