Howard Cunningham, who has an
excellent position with the Southwest

cial to stenographers.' Howard is
we'll pleased with his position and an
honor to his Alma Mater.
Prof. Moothart is in receipt of
letter from Miss Mary Young, who
graduated some three years ago.
Doubtless a number of our Farming
ton people recall Miss Mary as
daughter of Prof. A. B. Young. Miss
Mary is now stenographer and book
keeper in the office of the Carleton
Ferguson Dry Goods Co., and reports
receiving a good salary, and is de-
lighted with her work.

FIRE TUESDAY NIGHT.

Tuesday night, about $3.50, the fire
whistle was heard to lift its melodious
voice, with the announcement that
there was a fire in town. The fire
proved to be the house of Mrs. Louise
Anthony (colored) up in the west end
of town, The house was all in flames
when the first ones arrived on the
scene. Nothing of any value was
saved and the house itself was total
loss.
There was no insurance, and as no
one was at home when the fire start
ed, the fire was beyond control before
anyone got there.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
According to Mrs, Anthony there was
no fire left in the stove and no lamp
left burning.

MOTHERS WANT HOMES

The st. Louis Children's Aid So
ciety wants to find positions at house
work for mothers with babies, where
the mother can keep her baby with
her and get beard and nominal re-
muneration for her work,
There are few people in the city
who are able to employ mother and
her baby for lack of room. We are
sure there are many in the country,
and have had some success in placing
women with their babies in the coun-
try.
Just now there is an increased num-
ber of widowed and deserted mothers
applying for employment, due to va
rious causes. Should you be inter-
ested and desire the services Of one
Of these mothers write or see,

sas was examined and approved by
one Of the company's expert engi-
neers.
1t appears to us from casual ex-
animation Of the case that there is
simply misunderstanding together
with some bad feeling, and this un-
pleasantness and controversy could be
amiacably adjusted without resorting
to litigation. However, if the COM
pany persists in pushing our friend
to the wall he will have to vindicate
himself in the courts of justice and
if he fails there it will not be as some
say, there are two laws, l. e., one for
the rich and one for the poor; but
because there is one law which acts
in two different ways. The same law
that sends one man to the peniten-
tiary for stealing hog sends another
to Congress for stealing railroad.
Hon. f. P. Graves might truthfully
say in the language of Cardinal Wool
sley-Had / but served my God with
half the zeal with which ! have serv-
ed the Doe Run Lead Co., He would
not thus in my old age and wrecked
constitution have cast me off.
ANXIOUS FIDUS.

LIVE STOCK REPORT

Today's hog market was about as
peculiar as the average March wealth
er. During the first hour of the mar
ket there was dandy trade at Be to
10c higher values through the brisk
call from shippers and butchers. They
lent most of their competition for the
good 100 to 200 pound weights which
were taken at S6.80Ito $6.95, the lat
ter price being the extreme top for
the day. Pigs weighing 80 to ITO
pounds were taken at $6.25 to $685.,
and light pigs at $3.50 to $6.
With 1O,50O on sale packers laid out
of the game until later and it was a
tough proposition to 60 against. As
result trade was very slow from
their standpoint and when basis
was established it not only was with
all of the early advance lost, but
sales were actually SC lower than yes
terday. They bought good hogs at
$6.70 to $3.50, the latter price for
light mixed, class they bought free
ly yesterday at $s.a5. Rough hogs
sold at Sc. to $6.4O.
Cattle receipts of $500 were light
er than expected, While the drop in
receipts did not have any great effect
in price stimulation, there was, never
theless, stronger tone. than yesterday.
The supply of 200 sheep was hard
ly sufficient to go the rounds, but it
was cracker-jack trade as long as it
lasted at 25c higher values. Best
lambs were sold at $9.65 though a
choice lot would have easily brought
more. Fat sheep sold at $7.25 to ST.
65, with yearlings So to $3.50.
Sincerely yours,
National Live Stock Com. Co.

EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY


The next time you hear man say
that Pennington is "dead" and that
the people are not progressive, just
take him along the business streets
and show him the displays which our
merchants have in their windows; just
point out the new firms that are pros
pering here; and then show him the
thousands of dollars which the people
of Pennington have on deposit in our
banks. He will change his mind,
Pennington is a good town to live in,
so let everybody get busy and let ev-
erybody else know it.

dent Wilson and the next congress- ito

GRIFFIN AND DAWSON
EN- ROUTE 70 MANILA

According to advices from the main.
land received yesterday, Clarence Grit,
fin, who with William Johnston, won
the National dOubles-tennis champion,
and Tom Dawson, n star player on the
courts are to pass through Honolulu in
the Shinyo Maru en- route to the Far
East where they are to take part in
several tournaments in Japan aud Ma.
Mia.
Senator Alfred l.. Castle, who is ar.
ranging the details for the Mid.Pacific
Carnival series, will make it a special
point to see both men and find out if it
will be possible for them to return to
Honolulu in time to compete in the
tennis matches to be featured during
the celebration.
Beals @. Wright, one of the greatest
racquet wielders in the world, has sig
nified his intentions of coming for the
Carnival and the prospects are BRIGHT
that champion William Johnston will
also be a player. Van Dyke st. johns.
champion Intercollegiate player of the
Coast and whose sensational victory
over Johnston recently gives him a
high tennis standing, is also a possibil
ity. 49,
