Pioneer:
Reports from st. Joseph's hospital
are tc the effect that Andrew
Moreau, the Iron River boy who was
shot in the knee two weeks ago
while hunting, will not lose his leg.
For several days there was serious
doubt about being able to save it,
but now the danger of blood-poison-
ing setting in has about passed.
This will be good news to Andy's
many friends here.
James G. Daily of Port Wing was
in town last Saturday en- his way
home from the county seat, where
he was an important witness in the
trial of J. Ell. Klovstad against T. N.
Okerstrom. Mr.. Daily informed The
Pioneer editor that he has reason to
know that the Northern Pacific
Railway is planning on constructing
q road up into the Port Wing dis
trict, and that surveying crew has
been making preliminary surveys
out that way. He says that two
different schemes are under con-
sheraton, one being to run line
from Lenawee to Port Wing then
looping back to Iron River on as
straight line as practicable and
abandoning the road between this
city ano Lenawee, and the other is
to run the line from Lenawee to
Port Wing and then westward to
connect with the N. 2. line at a
point somewhere rear Wentworth.
Bayfield, county sheep are the kind
that the buyers at the stock yards
like to see come into the market, for
they know that they are the very
best that can be bought.
Last week Fritz l.. Carlson. M. l..
Carlson and Valentine Depta shipped
two double deck cars of ewes and
lambs to Chicago, and on Sunday
Messrs. Carlson and Depta returned
home wreathe6 in smiles. Topped
the market? Well I should say so, I"
said Mr.. Carlson, whsr asked how
they came out. 1.-The highest price
quoted the day we were there was
$3.50 and we got that price for near
ly all our lambs. Mr., Depta beat
us. He got Is cents a hundred
premium over the top price, and
buyers declared that they were by
all odds the best brought in there
this year"
All Of the lambs were right off the
grass, and had not peen fed pound
of grain. There were lambs in the
market that had been stall fed in
Iowa and they were not to be COM
pared with the Bayfield, county
lambs either in size Or quality.

by the medical officer Of health as
being unfit for human consumption.

CURIOUS CHESS GAMES.
Round, Oblong and Crueiform Boards
and Up to Eight Players.

ana Up TO EIgnI FiayoTbs
It may come as a surprise to many
earnest chess players to hear that
the ancient four handed version Of
the game is still alive and flourish
ing. The Four Handed Chess club
of London is now its chief home,
though there are lotteries of players
at the universities of Oxford and
Cambridge. The Four Handed
Chess club numbers upward of sew
enty members, and never Tuesday
evening passes without an attend
ance sufficient to make several sets.
Each set plays at a board of huge
size, laid out in the form of a Mai
tese cross. The board has 160
squares, and on these squares are
ranged the sixty-four chessmen
white, black, yellow and red) which
are to be engaged in battle. At the
tables sit quartets of players
partners opposite each other, as in
card game-and over all, under
the soft light of the overhanging
glow lamps, reigns solemn silence
among both players and spectators,
for, needless to say, the game is an
excessively intricate one.
A number of distinguished math-
ematicians have been players OF
four handed chess. Stranger forms
of chess, however, are known to the
dilettanti of the game. Colonel
Lloyd-Verney, who wrote an ex-
haustive treatise on "Chess Eccen-
tricities," describes chess for three
persons, for six and for eight;
"round chess" (played on circular
board) for two, three or four play
ers, and different modes of playing
two handed chess on square, oblong
and cruciform boards.
All over the world there are
countless variants of the game OF
chess. In great many games the
board has 100 squares, 10 by 10. in
the so called Prussian national
game the board has 100 squares. In
the Duke of Rutland's game, play
ed in the eighteenth century, the
board was fourteen squares in
breadth and ten in height. In AL
fonso KS game, which was played
at Seville in the thirteenth century,
the board had IA squares, twelve
each way. In the older Turkish
game the board had 169 squares, 13
by ID. Three handed chess is de-
scribed by Neapolitan author writ
ing in 1922. A Mr.. Cox, who trav-
eled in Russia about the end of the
eighteenth century, saw four hand
ed chess universally played there
then. But four handed chess would
appear to date still farther back If
we are to believe 'Les Oeuvres de
Sarasin" 1683), which states that
it was invented by Palamedes "to
prevent the Grecians from being
tired of themselves during the siege
of Troy."-Harper's Weekly.

FOR INTELLIGENT JUSTICE

Judge Robinson of the circuit court informs
the Citizens Protective Committee that the es-
Establishment of a whipping post in Hawaii would
be impossible, because this territory has no right
under the seventh constitutional amendment, to
prescribe a form of punishment that is "cruel
and unusual. The territory is under direct con-
troll of the federal government and the first ten
amendments to the constitution apply here.
Whether the same bar would stand in the way of
sterilization of criminals, as carried out by some
states, is a question that also arises
At any rate, the whipping-post seems to he
definitely eliminated from consideration as an
early possibility. Therefore suggestions as to
changes in the present laws against abuse of chill
dren and kindred crimes of lust should be taken
up. Various members of the bar and the city
attorney express the opinion that more discretion
should be given the judge in imposing sentence,
so that the matured and bestial criminal may be
differentiated from the mere boy whose youthful
passions have Overbalanced his unframed char
acter. With this opinion the Star-Bulletin
heartily agrees, and we hope that the next legis'
iature will provide a law more suitable to the
variable demands of Justice tempered by mer-
cy and understanding Of the manifold tempta
tons that Hawaii presents not only to the young
girl but to the young boy.

AGED HAWAIIAN
PASSES beyond

Believed by many of the Hawaiians
, to be- at. least ITO years, old, and hav-
ling figured in a history which has
been recounted from the Atlantic
coast to the far easteI, Mary Mahiai
died 1t her home on Vineyard street
last Monday night, and was buried
yesterday, afternoon, rilA the cemetery
back of the asylum. -.
The aged Hawaiian was born on the
island of Kauai during the period Of
the reign of Kamehameha the Great,
long, before 4: the first missionaries
from New England arrived here, and
at the age of seven years went out in
canoe with her uncle and five other
men bound for the island. Of Molokai.
A storm came up and the canoe was
driven out Of sight of land. and for
ten days they drifted at the meHcy Of
| the elements without food or water.
/ When nearly dead from hunger and
thirst, a sail was sighted, and two
: boats appeared, the larger of which
sent boat out to take the occupants
of the canoe, aboard. They were
treated kindly by the captain and
soon learned that the vessel was
bound for China. The little Hawaiian
girl was given the task Of caring for
the captains daughter and the men
put to work on the vessel. At one of
the islands of the Ladrones the five
men of the little party were put
ashore at their request, and it was
afterward learned that they were de-
; youred by cannibals who were known
to infest those islands. Mary Mahtai,
with her uncle, remained on the YES
sci and were taken to China, where
they were turned over to missionaries
there. They remained there several
years, during which time Marys uncle
died. Mary was made nurse to one of
J the missionary's children and soon aft
er travelled to New York with her
mistress. At the time of the gold rush
to California Mary was in the employ
of a missionary family named Bates.
and in 1S48 they set sail for the gold
| fields, via Cape Horn. They were
many months reaching their destina-
! ton on account of the fierce storms
which swept the coast, finally reach
ing Monterey.
The party sailed for the Hawaiian
islands few years later, arriving in
Honolulu in 1850, and Mary at once
sent a letter to her friends. who had
many years previous mOurned her
death, thinking that she had been
drowned or eaten by sharks. Her
friends came to Honolulu and her re-
turn was celebrated with luau which

lasted many days. Mary did not ac-
company her relatives, back to Kauai,
but remained in the employ of the
Bates family, to whom she had eb-
soIne very much attached. Later, she
married, her husband dying a few
months later. Her second husband
died of the smallpox and her third
lived only a year after their marriage.
She married for the fourth time and
she aud her husband lived happily for
twenty years, be dying in the early
part of the present century
The interesting story of her life was
told by her when she appeared before
the United States senatorial commits
sion on its visit to Honolulu in 1907
AS she became old, Mary Mahiai laps
ed into the easy Hawaiian life in her
humble home on Vineyard street,
where she would be often seen bare
footed and clad in holoku.

NATIVES THOUGHT
PRINCE WAS AFRAID

American Sugar Industry, Chicago,
for December, contains the following
in it's Honolulu letter: -
Considerable speculation Is IN
6ulged in throughout the islands as to
the probability Of a Democratic COVER
nor soon after the Inauguration OF
President Woodrow Wilson. A col
lege professor has made an exhaustive
examination of precedents and dis
covers no reasons from American his
tory which would indicate that the
present governor, Walter F. Frear,
Republican, should offer his resigna-
ton. The Democrats, however, have
faith that President Wilson will give
due consideration to the lean years
which have been felt by would-be
Democratic office holders and are
confident that governor will be ap-
pointed from the ranks of the Bour-
bons. Prominent among the list Of
candidates Is Lincoln L. McCandless,
who, despite his Christian name, has
long been a leading Democrat in Ha'
waii and who might justly lay claim
to having held the party together In
the islands. McCandless has been
the Democratic nominee for delegate
to Congress for the past three cam:
paigns and has steadily been gaining
ground against Delegate Kalanial9
In the election just past McCandless
beat Kalanianaole on this island by
considerable majority. but lost out on
the other islands. This is the first
time that McCandless has carried this
island and the result was very dis
.couraging to Kalanianaole, who en-;
pected to find his greatest strength
here because of the strong fight he
has been waging against Governor
Frear, which brought about the Fish
err Investigation which was reviewed
in last months letter. Kalanianaole9
fight, so he claimed, was in the IN
terest of the poor Hawaiians and Por
tuguese and the election returns show
that it was among these people that
he lost strength. The fact that the
delegate had nothing to say during
the Fisher investigation counted
against him among the natives as
they took it to mean that he. was
afraid to say in the meeting what he
had before said on paper. AS the
matter stands Kalanianaole's major
ity was greatly reduced this election
and McCandless stood a very good
chance of election. Outside Of Nc
Candless the Democrats had verit-
atla landslide, electing the mHjor'iy
of their candidates and giving the ISL

men in Honolulu. kTHey are found in
all classes and conditions of life. This
is especially true Of the children and
young girls, for there is scarcely a
family here that does not have one or
more beautiful children. This fact is
so self-evident that if ! were asked
what is the most interesting and beau
tifu1 of all the many beautiful sights
to be seen here | should at once say
the many beautiful women and chill
dren.
1t Is true that many of them are
scarcely ever seen on the streets, or
only as they fly by in their automo-
biles or carriages. In fact, Honolulu

by the sugar barons Of Hawaii; at
least he is receiving no support from
them.
MeCandless is q good business man
who has made a fortune since coming
to the islands less than twenty years
ago. He Is endorsed unQualifiedly by
the Democratic party OF Hawaii and
stands q very good chance of being
governor. He is very active and his
administration, were he appointed
Governor, might be expected TO be a
strenuous one.
