ouietest Town Meeting Ever Known.

The annual town meeting held Tues
day was perhaps the quletest in the
history of the town. The attendance
was unusually small. There was no OPP
position to any measure introduced, and
all the business except the election of
delegates to the constitutional conven-
ton was completed before 1890 a. m
E. j. Temple was reelected clerk for
the ensuing year The ballot for select
men brought out only SO votes, all of
which were for the old board consisting
of Walter L. Todd, James O'Brlen and
Ezra b. Pike. AS had been feared, Mr.
Todd arose to decline and the prolonged
applause, which strove to drown his
speech, failed to make him alter this
decision. On the second ballot Walter
E. Fay was chosen first seectman with
AZ votes, Henry Williams having IS
votes. A. l.. Taylor was chosen road
agent, H. w. Taylor auditor. and Fred
Buckley chief of the fire department
The following appropriations were
made Ordinary town charges, $500;
highways, 1878, in addition to amount
required by law; support of poor, 1900;
lighting streets, $500; fire department,
$500; library and reading room, $500:
sidewalks, including the repairing of the
High street walk, $500; sprinkling
streets, $50; floating debt. $4,000. One
new street light was voted to be placed
near A. L. Taylor's on Mortified street.
The delegates to the constitutional con-
vention elected by the Australian ballot
were E. j. Temple and G. s. Howe.

Brown Tall Moths Found.

The inspectors sent here by the state
to find II there were any gypsy and
brown tail moths in this locality found
three infestations of brown tails the
largest of which was on the farm of
Walter Barrett on the Plain road in
North Hinsdale, three trees being in
tested. No gypsy moths have been
found. 1t is hoped that every precau-
ton possible will be taken to prevent
the spread of the pests.

WOMEN SHOULD NEVER
USE HARSH PHYSICS

Women are especially susceptible to
constipation and their more delicate
organisms rebel at the violence Of
cathartics and purgatives. Drastic
medicines like salts, mineral waters,
pills and powders may afford tempo
rary relief, but their violent action on
the stomach and bowels tends to up
set the entire system.
A mild laxative is far preferable and
more effective. The combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by DR.. w. b. Caldwell, and
sold In drug stores under the name of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. is ideal
for women, being gentle in action, pos
tive In effect and pleasant to the
taste. A spoonful OF Syrup Pepsin at
night will bring natural relief next
morning and. used regularly for a
brief period, will SO strengthen and
tone the muscles Of the stomach and
bowels that there will be little, II any,
further need for medicine.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can be
procured in any drug store. Your

Wireless Map.

A novelty in the way OF maps has
Just been issued by the German lmpe-
rial postoflice, which has compiled n
chart showing the principal wireless
telegraph stations in the world. The
object is to advertise the facilities
now afforded in Germany for "draht-
lose telegraphy. German stations
are, of course, given special promi-
nence on the map, and in this connec-

RARE DISEASE HERE
IS FOUND IN JAIL
Prisoners Suffer from Beriberi
And One Man Is Dead
Court News.
Mail Special to The Advertiser.)

mail Special to The Advertiser)
HILO, November %. - Disease has
again broken out in the Kailua Jail,
as seems to be the rule with that es.
tabl shmont when there is term of
court in that village. This time the
disease is beriberi. One prisoner has
died therefrOm, and another is serious
ly i'll. 1t is reported that at an in.
vestigation the eonsolatory finding was
made that the man who died had beri-
beri before he entered the jail.
Frank Cootey, who has almost a score
of convictions against him, most OF
them for drunkenness, emerged from jail
last Wednesday mo ming, having just
served a three months term. few
hours later he was drunk. For several
days he made the rounds of the saloons,
and finally, on Friday, he met his. Wa
terloo before Judge Wise. He tried to
obtain a suspended sentence by promis'
ing that he would go into retirement at
Kaumana, and Judge Wise quite literal
ly granted his wish in part by sentenc'
ing him to another term of three
months.
SO busy has the criminal term of
court before Judge Matthewman at Ka'
ilua become that not only has it been
necessary to secure an extension of the
term of twelve days into December, bat
arrangements have been made for a
special term which will be held in Jan.
uary.
The cases of former Supervisor Kani-
ania, of Kohala, charged under two old
and two new indictments, with embez-
element of county funds, will be heard
n January. Kaniania was surrendered
by his bondsmen recently and spent sew
eral days in Jail. He has now secured
new bondsman, and is at liberty, so
he will, presumably, resume his duties
as jailor at the Kohala Jail.
The famous Wilson case, from Kau,
has also been continued until the Jan
uary term. The authorities still appear
willing to have this matter dropped.
The county attorneys department in
sists that it has a very weak case. 1t
has instructed Special Prosecutor Smith
to drop the case, if he feels like it. 1t
appears, however, that Smith takes a
stricter view.
Word was received yesterday to the
eHecJ thdt 1 OIIuSuese tlldl juror hhu

The details of the matter are meager
but it seems that the juror permitted
himself to be drawn as juror on a
case in which he was as matter of
fact, disqualified on account of familiar
ity with the facts. The matter was
brought, by Attorney Claudius Mcbride,
to the attention of the grand jury
which returned an indictment on the

IS SHORT BALLOT SYSTEM
tFrom Wednesday Advertiser.)

In order to get the proposed change
in the city charter, calling for tho
short ballot or elective commission
form of government, before the people,
plans are under way to have the ad-
dress made by Governor Frear and 9th,
ers on the subject mt the Men 3 League
Monday night, printed in pamphlet
form for distribution, and at the same
time to issue booklet thoroughly ex-
planning the proposed system for the
benefit of the Hawaiian voters.
Governor Frear had several callers
yesterday who expressed their approval
of the ideas he set forth in his address
and who signifed their willingness to
institute campaign of education
which will be waged, while bill pro-
viding for this system is being prepar-
cd for submission to the Legislature.
In speaking of the commission form
of government yesterday, Governor
Frear said he thought that some form
of recall provision would not be
detriment to the charter, not because
there was n likelihood of its being used
often, but because it has been proven
to be useful as a sort of whip which
the public holds over it's officials. The
history of the recall on the mainland
he said, is that although it has been
rarely used, it has been wisely used.
Governor Frear also expressed him
self strongly in favor of holding
the local and territorial elections
separately and believes that the adOp-
ton Of these features with that of
nOnpartisan primary would assist in
the securing of able and qualified men
as candidates and Mt the same time
would create healthy interest in mu-
nicipal affairs among the electorate.
The special committee of the civic
federation is making arrangements for
the first public meeting to consider the
question of new charter.
