WEATHER AND CROP REPORT.

w ENhS~ =
The first five days Of the week
were much warmer than usual for
the time of the year, but the last
two days were cold. Frost was gem
eral on the morning of the 18th and
freezing temperatures occurred In
many parts Of the statee. The rain
fall was generally light and poorly
distributed, the southwestern coun-
ties receiving none, while northern
Hardin. and southern Kossuth coun-
ties received more than an inch. The
frost on the 9th and probably the
one on the 17ht did much damage to
garden: truck, and in smoe localities
to fruit. The frost, together with
high winds on Saturday and Sunday.
caused cherries to drop badly, and
in most sections the crop will be
light. Apples are apparently In good
condition. Field work progressed
rapidly and about rs per cent of the
corn is planted. Much Of the early
planted is up and shows a'go0t stand
Oats begin to show the need of mois-
ture in the southern counties and II
rain does not come soon all grain
will have tendency to head short.
In other sections of the state grain
and grass are in good condition, but
rain would be beneficial.

In the offices at headquarters Of the
National Guard the safe that years
ago was King Kalakaua's Is now the
keeping place for things Of value to
the militia.
Sitting sullenly against the wall
with crudely painted Hawaiian coat
of arms In gaudy colors adjoining its

looks as II itwould, IL 1t but could. pro

The safe that came over from San
Francisco years ago, and through the
the Bungalow was famous through the
kingdom. was forgotten when the dy.
nasty fell, and for years sat In the
Bungalow unused. When the Nation

to headquarters.
An effort was made to get permits

safe to the Kamehameha School mu-
